See? I can’t anymore
Phoenix is sitting next to hi on his pointer finger as he twirls the whiskey glass in front of him, and he’s basically in all black except a red tie
Did they fucking color coordinate?
“Son…” Dad still has a slight Russian accent he definitely didn’t pass down tolike he knohat I’m about to ask or say Phoenix leans in too
“She’s staying here,” I say it plainly, quickly “It’s the safest place, and if you guys both don’t stop s to drink all the whiskey and replace it with root beer Who’ll be laughing then?”
“Worst day of his life” Dad elbows Phoenix, who gives hirimace
How they’re natural killers can boggle the ain, as quick as they joke, the switch flips
“Son of a bitch, Junior!” Serena yells, stora”
“Oh, great” Ash sits down next to me “That Abandonato temper” He shakes his head
“You do remember your last name?” Phoenix asks
“Just like you re, but it’s a fucking sore spot Phoenix was given the Nicolasi line He’s technically a De Lange, what used to be the most hated Family of them all
Chase decided to just straight up cleanse the line but save the kids, which is kind of where all of our stories start They caive them a chance, and for the last two years, we’ve been victis, death threats, and car crashes
Super fun if you ask me
Honestly though, we know at this point it’s not the, they’re so thankful we’re letting them into the fold they’d lay down in the middle of the road and close their eyes while we played chicken
I like most of thele Elite running recon,sure the University owned by thea kickass job
Yet again, doesn’thistory there, long history The guy literally cut the Family crest from his body
Dad kicks Ash under the table “Show some respect”
Ash smiles “Sorry, Drei”
Dad hates that nickname
So Ash uses it on a daily basis
“So hungry” Annie sits down next to Ash or attempts to, but he pulls her into his lap
And here we go
Things don’t get better as Junior and Serena finish their fight and start kissing, mere feet away from her dad Nixon
Phoenix moves to stand
Dad puts his hand on his shoulder
Let’s just say with all the tension, killings, and new relationships, things have been ridiculously tense
