The Story Of Us

Derek

After I left the house I drove back to my house to my dad and Gwen. When I pulled up to the house to see Gwen and Dad already waiting for me. "Sup dumbass," Gwen says as I get out."You're late," my father voice boomed snapping me out of the hateful glance I was giving my sister.

"Sorry sir I was with Dany and Zar-"I stammered

"What's the first rule of business?" he interrupted. I looked at Gwen to see her smirking at me. Bitch

"Um, never be late for business," I mumbled. "Exactly, but since this is your first business meeting I'll let it slide," he said. Our family personal driver pulls up. "Okay, Christopher's let get down to business," he says. Let's get this day over with.

***********************************************************************************************

Hours of meetings and paper and presentations I must say I am exhausted. By after a long day of fake work, I walk over to the bar and took a sit. "Bourbon," I say to the bartender. She looks at me skeptically. "Aren't you a little young to be drinking bourbon?" she asks. "Nope," I reply to her. She looks at me with a look of unsureness. "Yeah you see my dad owns this building and I'm 23 just had my first kid and I had a long day of work today," I say to her. It seems to work due to the look of panic on her face. "Yes, sir" she says then turns around and fixes my drink.

She returns with a drink in hand "Here you go sir," she says "Thank you." I took a sip and let sweet tastes of bourbon run down. "Are you drinking alcohol, Derek" I hear my dad say behind. Shit, think

"No," I say as he looks at me with disbelief. "This is.....apple juice." Dumbass

"Look I know the smell of bourbon but I'm just going to let it slide for today." he says "Um, I'll have a double," he announced to the bartender. She came back and place his drink on his napkin. My dad and I pick up our drinks, clink them together and take a drink.

My dad gave me a disapproving look when I place the glass down. Right, he thinks I don't drink yet. "Ow, the burn of alcohol burns since it's my first time ever I mean ever drinking alcohol," I say hoping he believes me but deep down I know he doesn't.

"So how was your first day,"

"It was good very... eyeopening"

"That's good, do you see yourself running a business," he asked me.

"Well, to be honest, it did occur to me to start something of my own," I tell him

"Well, how about this, I'm thinking about starting a multi-media branch using my technology and I want you to run it," he tells me. I forgot to breathe for a moment. Is he serious?

"What about Gwen?" I ask him

"Gwen will be running the Global tech branches but you will run the media branches, but only if you want to-

"Hell yeah, I want to!" I exclaimed and went to my dad with a bear hug. "But the media branch won't be ready until a few years so it'll give you plenty time to go to Harvard," he said. Right Harvard my dream school * hint sarcasm

My mood dropped "What's wrong son?" h "he asks. I got to tell him "Dad, I'm not going to Harvard this semester." I tell him and silently pray that he doesn't kill me. "What the fuck do you mean you're not going to Harvard?" he yelled.

"Look dad, I want to take a break from school and be there for Zara and the baby. I want to experience everything about being a father." I confessed to him. I love Daenerys and Zara with every fiber of my being and I don't want to miss a single thing in Daenerys life.

"I understand son and it very noble and responsible of you," he tells me. "So I was wondering if you can ask mom to let be borrow the villa in Spain for a year," I slide in.
