Hearing her voice again, though it sounded so distant through the doors, was reassuring to Terrance. But when Helene talked about Terrance she sounded sad. He sighed to himself, placing his forehead on the wooden door. [color=lightseagreen]“You really fucked up your chances with Helene.”[/color] The all too familiar voice came behind Terrance and he turned his head around, crossing his arms over his chest. Of course, the last person on the planet he would want to see. [color=lightblue]“Go crying to your dad? That’s very much unlike a grown man. But I guess if you want a forced apology from me, here it is- [i]I’m sorry for punching your face, asshole.[/i]”[/color] Isaac laughed, crossing his own burly arms across his chest and eyeing Terrance. [color=lightseagreen]“You know it is about more than that. But it won’t matter if my father sticks up for you, God knows why. No way will Helene forgive you for banging too floozies on a beach, practically right in front of her.”[/color] Terrance’s fists clinched in his crossed arms. He had to fight strong back the urge to punch Isaac again. Isaac noticed Terrance’s tightening fists and simply laughed, shaking his head. [color=lightseagreen]“Don’t think about it. You are on thin ice, and you don’t have your big bodyguard to pull me away this time. Just don’t think too much about what Helene and I will be up to once she says she is done with you.”[/color] Terrance rolled his eyes, turning his back to Isaac, but there was a strong feeling of guilt and worry hanging over Terrance. What Isaac said made sense, why would Helen forgive him for what he did? But why did he need forgiveness? They weren’t dating, so it wouldn’t classify as cheating… but at the same time, something told Terrance in his gut he had to fix something. [b]“If that is how you feel, Ms. Carbone. I’m glad we could get this squared away, and I’m hoping your men have been finding what they are looking for. I’ve heard much about this Bastien fellow in the short time of our alliance. I assure you that my own followers are keeping a sharp eye out as well for suspicious activity.”[/b] Mr. Patrone rubbed his chin, picking up a few papers and shuffling them around to scan them. Without looking up, he directed his voice to the drawing room. [b]“Boys, you can come in now.”[/b] One couldn’t hear the bickering of the two young men in the other room, and Terrance was the first to emerge into Mr. Patrone’s office, followed by Isaac. One simple look from Mr. Patrone said what he was expecting to hear from the two. Terrance was struggling still to look in Helene’s direction, feeling too ashamed. But he knew he was going to have to start taking the steps to repair what he did, and he finally lifted his head, looking Helene directly in her bright eyes. [color=lightblue]“I’m sorry.”[/color] That was all he said, but he was sorry for all of it. For hurting her sneaking off with two girls, for scaring her when fighting Isaac, and for not telling her how he felt all this time. [color=lightseagreen]“I’m sorry, Helene. Sometimes our emotions get the best of us.”[/color] Isaac spoke up, nodding respectfully towards her. Mr. Patrone’s eyes sharpened slightly on Terrance, and he cleared his throat with a hearty cough. [b]“Terrance, have you thought more on what I asked you earlier?”[/b] Very much so referring to what Terrance was going to do in regards with Helene. Terrance didn’t pull his eyes away from Helene, maintain his eye contact on her face as he responded. [color=lightblue]“I’m not done yet. I’m going to finish what I started.”[/color] Mr. Patrone clapped his hand together in a singular thunderous clap. [b]“Since this is all settled, Ms. Carbone and Mr. Flights. You are both dismissed. Isaac I want you to stay. We have to discuss some findings of Jacob’s from the beach the other day.”[/b] And with that, Helene and Terrance exited the room, Terrance closing the office doors so that the two could talk with a bit more privacy. The fact Terrance could look at Helene for so long earlier was a miracle, because now he was having a hard time once again to turn in her direction. [color=lightblue]“Helene… Can we talk? Over dinner perhaps?”[/color] Terrance rubbed the back of his neck, still not looking at Helene, he was fully preparing himself for her rejection, but he wasn’t going to let her go without a fight. [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] Alexander was sitting on his couch, the TV blaring something about a crime show, but he was too disinterested in it. Alexander had caught wind that Arthur had a mission to fulfil, and Jacob and Terrance had to talk with Mr. Patrone about what happened on the beach, both regarding the fight and the news of a Munez boy peddling on the beach. So, poor Alexander was left to his own devices. But he didn’t seem too upset, as a special delivery had been made. Although Alexander didn’t see his parents for 5 years, they always somehow shipped him a trophy of whatever little thing they were recently trying to swipe away from rightful owners. Alexander’s eyes were scanning a single card that was attached the package, no shipping or return address on it. His parents had good enough connections that the package could just get passed along, one by one, until reaching the rightful recipient, Alexander. The message was short: [center][i]“Happy Birthday, my love. 18 years old. That was how old your father and I were when our parents “allowed” us to date. Funny concept, huh? Getting permission from parents to love who you love. Our gift to you this year is a token of love. If you aren’t seeing anyone these days, hold on to it. If not, give it to the one you think is most deserving of your love.”[/i][/center] Alexander picked up the box, flipped open a pocket knife, and opened it up. Inside was a black, velvet box, and upon opening it, he found a stunning [url=https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-91ad756c24f1b6e733f98ff3c89b0322-c]Alexandrite Ring[/url]. It shined multiple colors in the light of the TV and Alexander couldn’t stop staring at it, mesmerized. He smiled a little to himself, and closed the box up, before shooting a text message to Gigi.
