Chapter 5: Him
Lucus Stone
Fuck I hate being here now with everything going on, but this was June's 18th call saying she needed help because they were short
staffed, this is my brother's doing, Oliver always moves to quickly before making sure everything is ready, he just jumps in without
thinking about all the variables. He lacks the business mind. Even if he is a great warrior he picks and chooses what he wants to be good at. He wanted a club and in this part of town it wasn't smart, small town don't usually generate a lot of income. Yet, I went ahead and allowed it.
Two days of work and he grew bored with it. Leaving me with a new club. I was dealing with my own paperwork and preparing for this meeting with potential buyers for a eco project I was developing.
Stone incorporate, one of my many hobbies, working with technology to create eco-friendly inventions, new ways to better this world for my kind. Then I finally got tired of the ringing. It would be easier to shut the club down and move on which I intend to do this
week. I may have time but I don't have the care to entertain this failed project Oliver
abandoned. Worse of all, I am not particularly in a great mood tonight nor have I been in the past few months and anyone who knows me will tell you that is not a good thing, I probably should have fed beforehand but I can manage it.
Until I get home, or maybe get lucky with a drunken fool. I have been here for an hour to long, and my annoyance only grows. To my surprise the place is packed and the woman dancing are not bad, the VIP area is full and for this place to be understaffed they are all impressive employees not included my children. They are all working hard, great communication skills, team work. Except for June's attitude. I look at the numbers and this place is actually doing well. But regardless I can't take this on, I make my way pass the VIP and head to the office upstairs in the back and go straight to the bar and pour a double shot of bourbon and down it fast. I hear an annoying voice. My vamp hearing in play.
"Get on your hands and knees now... lick her pussy baby... yes,
good girl. Now you. I need you to suck me off...uhhh shit...swallow my dick baby, just like that...fucck".
Got damn him. Oliver is at it again, he can't run this place or bother to hire people to actually work. Yet he comes into get his dick wet. For over 700 years I have had to
deal with his different attitude changes. I've always been ready to pick up his slack and take care of things. Not this time, he needs to grow up and go back into soldier mood again he needs take responsiblity he's still learning and as the years pass I get the pleasure of meeting a new Oliver, same can be said for all my children. I can't keep coddling him. Time for him to man up or I need to cut him off.
Maybe a 100 years apart will help.
I stopped myself from pacing, an annoying habit I adopted, instead of going all the way down the hall to his section, I speak to him from the room,
"You really have a problem, don't
you Oliver? Get your ass to this office now!"
Knowing he heard me I walking back to the bar I get a refill because it's looking to be a long night. I hear something else jump out at me. A woman's voice soft yet firm
"Te bebes la mitad de la botella para que pagues. Si estaba mal, no deberías haberlo bebido en absoluto. ¡Este es su pago de
facturas o trato con seguridad! Ahora todos pueden reírse!"
Using my gift of sight, I clear my head of noise and zoom in on the voice. I see dark long hair bouncing along with full round breasts, an hourglass shape and if I concentrate, which I am, I can smell a strawberry sent underneath lavander. She is the only one in a mask that's serving, and as far as I can hear. All guests are calling her Mystery.
Hmmm...Sexy...or I'm hungry... What am I doing? I made my way to my childs desk. I sat down and downed my bourbon. I really need to feed, I still hold on to the image she is talking to the bouncers, they check her out eyes drifting to her breasts. it's irratating that I'm still watching this human yet it's hard not to for some reason and that alone has my interest plucked as well as my annoyance. Why I don't know, but I will file that for later my first irritation is walking in 3,2,1
"What the hell Lucus! You couldn't give me 5 more minutes." Oliver comes to the desk eyeing me, I am in his chair. Yet he won't say anything out of respect or to annoy me further. One look at me and he knows, my temper is not something that should be tested. Good choice on his part. Clearing my head from the sight, I return my vision back to the office giving my son a silent judgment stare. I stay silent and allow my look of disappointment to fill in for the unspoken words. It works, my children hate disappointing me
"Fuck. I'm sorry alright, I just needed a break, this heat is a bitch, I was a bit thirsty and I'm sorry okay."
Still I say nothing, he's like a 10 year old whining in my ear, spoiled. My fault I know this.
"OH come now! ...Fine! I will hire more people and see to find a co-manager, so why don't you go take my place in the VIP section, room 6666. Maybe if you indulged in a bit of fun you wouldn't be so... stressed...nope, not pissed yet... No... you are irritated with me".
Still I remain silent
He leans his head to the side looking as if he lost his best friend. Shit he's reading me and he does it well here is the soldier in him coming out...not sure if that's a bad thing or a terrible thing when he does that shit on me. I smooth my expression and smile at him, hoping to throw him off whatever the hell he may pick up.
He thinks I need to get laid. Shit, maybe.
No not now, he is trying to bait a responce from me. I had his company on and off for over 700 years give or take. I know him well
enough to entertain him. Having created him, my sireling, my brother, my friend, my child. He will always be loyal to me, he would even die for me, if killing him was an easy task,
he is a warrior and our bond is unbreakable.
I turn the computer screen to him, their are a list of options to choose from, he can hire a few people for the first shift and a few for the second shift, because the afternoon isn't as
busy, they only need a few people serving drinks and food, with enough dancers and two men at the bar, then he could just double up on weekends.
"This is the list, go through it and make the calls." I order
