Chapter 8

  • "She didn't? Wow I'm wounded Alexis. Why would you try to make this sweet girl hate me? Unless you like me and don't want anyone else to set their eyes on me"
  • Having had enough Alexis stalked to where Marjorie was and pulled her towards the stairs. "My room. Now!"
  • "Wow. You women in this house are like super territorial over your men." Marj said stumbling because her attention was still on Ray.
  • "What do you mean by 'we women'?"
  • "You and your mom of course."
  • Alexis groaned throwing her inside and locking her room. "Tell me you didn't try to hit on my dad"
  • "I didn't. I just told him he was hot and that had your mother unleashing her claws on me. Bt dubs she is not as nice as you said she was. From my point of view, you lied to me about everything." she exclaimed dramatically.
  • "Did you expect my mother to offer you cake when the first thing you did was hit on her husband?"
  • "It wasn't my fault. He's like so hot. I could totally see him as my Dilf"
  • "Ew Marj. That's my dad you're talking about. Banish those thoughts form your head."
  • "But seriously you have to warn me. Are his friends as hot as he is? And does Ray have friends?"
  • "All my dad's friends are married. As for Ray, he's all yours"
  • "I wish" Marjorie said dropping down on the large bed that occupied half of the room. "I would totally seduce him if he wasn't into someone else."
  • "How would you know he's into someone else? You just got here" Alexis said sitting down beside her. Then she remembered why she'd sought the privacy of her room in the first place "Anyway forget about that. I have something more important to tell you"
  • "What is more important than sexy men with dreamy eyes?"
  • "Connor is cheating on me"
  • "What?!" Marjorie flew off the bed and stood in front of her.
  • "I saw him kissing someone else yesterday"
  • "That cheating bastard. How dare he? Just say the word and I'll light his ass on fire" at that Alexis burst into tears. She was glad to have someone she could talk to. Of course she could have gone to her mother but she wasn't a child anymore. She couldn't tell her mother all her problems and expect her to solve them for her. Besides she needed someone her age so she wouldn't feel like an idiot for believing a boy would wait for her after she'd been gone for so long. Marjorie held her as she cried then told her to shower and wear something sexy because they were going to confront her liar of a boyfriend. She also suggested Alexis wear something sexy to show him what he was loosing. It would do him well to remember that he was stupid enough to cheat on the one and only Rutherford Princess.

  • "Okay now it's your turn"
  • "To do what?" Ray looked away from the stairs to Jayden.
  • "Help me. I've helped you all these years and your advice has been great but I'm ready to use it. On Marj"
  • "Seriously?"
  • "Yeah" Jayden said with a straight face.
  • "Isn't she too old for you? How old are you anyway? Ten?"
  • "Sixteen you jackass. And you will help me get her or I'll stop giving you updates on my sister."
  • "I never said I wasn't going to help you" Ray replied defending himself. It was Jayden who had texted him to tell him which route Alexis had taken so he could 'accidentally' bump into her. He'd enlisted Jayden years ago to share little bits of information about the whereabouts of his sister. It wasn't always a coincidence that he happened to be in the same place she was.
  • This morning her eyes had looked swollen, like she had been crying last night. The thought of her upset angered him. He knew that no good boyfriend of hers was the reason because he'd seen him with another girl after she'd left. That was why he'd gone to her house to check in on her and make sure she was fine. Clearly she wasn't. That Connor guy was going to understand that no one made his Princess cry. But first he had to reassure Jayden that he'd help him get Alexis's friend. Even if he was sure the kid's efforts would amount to nothing.
  • "Okay listen up. Rule number one, don't stare too hard like you were just a few seconds ago. You'll make her uncomfortable"
  • "Got it" Jayden said after typing something into his phone.
  • "Are you seriously taking notes?" Ray asked amused. Christ he missed being a teenager.
  • "Yeah man. Otherwise how would I remember?"
  • "Rule number two. Buy her flowers. Do you have any money or do you need a loan?"
  • "Dude don't insult me. Of course I have money"
  • "And where would you get it from? Your allowance? Or did you ask daddy for some?"
  • "Fuck you Ray. I don't need to ask my father for money. Besides, the cash I got from selling Lexi's bike on eBay is more than enough"
  • "You what?" Ray looked at him with his jaw on the floor. "You are a dead man walking Jay. Where is Gavin?"
  • "In his bedroom. Why?"
  • "Because I need someone who's alive to pass me info. Also I'd like those cuff links I gave you for your birthday back. They cost me a pretty penny and I don't want your family to donate them to charity after you're gone"
  • "Shut up man. Dad told me to get rid of it, so I did"
  • "Is the person who bought it here to pick it up?"
  • "Not yet. I told them to wait until Lexi was out of the house."
  • "Cancel the order if you want to see another day. I gotta go" Ray turned heading to the front door.
  • "You only gave me two rules. I need more man. Where are you going anyway?"
  • "I gave you two important rules Jay. And I'm going to break someone's face. See you later" he rushed out before Jayden asked from more pointers. Finally he had a valid reason to break that moron's face. And he was going to enjoy it.
