Fantastic Life Tycoon - Chapter 52

 

Brian walked into the boutique. Andrea had sent him the location.

I should get beach shorts as well, now that I am already here.

He didn’t go right towards the woman’s section but the men’s area. The store had been built in a way that every shelf looked the same. Brian stood in front of a stand with a complex expression. It wasn’t a look of dilemma which had riddled Andrea, who had been spoilt for choices.

Who even buys this shit.

Brian’s eyes were searching for a simple solid color which was impossible to find in the wall of shorts. It didn’t take long before he found a simple blue short. The variety only delayed his meeting by only a few only seconds as he walked out with a small shopping bag to the woman’s section.

The problem which had befuddled Andrea had been solved in matter of seconds. As he entered the woman’s section, he didn’t have to enter any further.

Two long legs attracted his attention as his eyes moved up and confirmed the identity. It was Betty sitting cross legged, fumbling though a fashion magazine, sitting at one end of the couch in the waiting area. She wasn’t exactly reading but checking through the images while Andrea who sat on the other end was in her phone world.

Brian didn’t say anything but just went ahead and sat in between them. Andrea frowned for a moment but it turned into a smile as she spoke.

“What took you so long?”

“Sorry, there was some extra work. I bought these shorts.” Brian spoke as he lifted and waved the shopping bag in the area for her to see.

“You don’t have to apologize, I wasn’t complaining, I was just curious. I just finished shopping like two mins ago.”

“Thats great. You look wonderful.” Brian complemented her new haircut.

“Thanks.” Andrea got closer to Brian and he put his arm around her shoulder. It was at this moment Betty coughed as she had enough of them.

Cough!

Andrea looked at her and put out her tongue like a little child showing off before speaking. Brian looked at Betty’s face which showed her an annoyed look.

“Feeling lonely?”

“Lonely? Whats their to be lonely. I am with my best friend and her boyfriend as they show show their love to the world. How did you make that conclusion?” She scoffed

Brian wanted to interject here. Something didn’t seem right to him. It was just that the decision he took was something Betty didn’t expect.

He put his free arm around her as he pulled her towards himself with Andrea on the other side.

“Aren’t we friends as well? We weren’t doing this to make you jealous.” Brian spoke.

Andrea didn’t find anything wrong here. It was like two boys would do, so she wasnt jealous. Feeling Brian’s hand on her shoulder, she felt current passing through her shoulder.

Why do I feel cold?

Betty felt the goosebumps as she was pulled close to Brian. The three were sitting shoulder to shoulder now.

She hit her elbow on Brian’s stomach as she spoke.

“Then, stop this PDA everytime you see each other.” She suggested.

Andrea didn’t like the suggested and Brian wasn’t one to take orders.

“Anything else you would like? Is holding hands allowed or is that too much as well.” He mocked her he applied pressure on her shoulder. Betty felt his finger rub against her shoulder..

Why am I not repulsed by it? She thought

Andrea didn’t waste time and grabbed his hand and lifted it in front of Betty’s face to tease her.

“I am not talking to you guys.”

Brian laughed before speaking seriously.

“What’s the plan now?” He didn’t want to stay here all night.

Betty was regular visitor to this place. She heard the question and spoke.

“I know this Mexican place. We can go there if you guys don’t mind.” She just wanted Brian to take off his hand and make some distance between them. She was feeling a little weird as Brian kept her shoulder.

Andrea nodded and started looking for her bags. It wasn’t just the bikinis she had bought. She cursed her fickle mind as she was swayed by the sales assistant.

Miss, you didn’t get the bikini coverup, the assistant had announced.

She wouldn’t have bothered with it normally but the revealing bikinis were a bit too much for her. Bikinis led to bikini cover ups which led to a belt for the coverup and eventually ended with beach sandals. She had spent more on the accessories than on the bikini.

As she was about to get out of Brian’s hold to get her bag, , Brian first got his hand off her shoulder as he took out a smaller packet and kept it on Andrea’s lap.

He just used his hand on Andrea’s side to do it. There weren’t many chances to tease Betty, he didn’t want to give up this early.

Andrea opened the packet and saw the white box.

Isn’t that the new iPhone, Betty thought.

Betty was a little disappointed that she hadn’t gifted anything to Andrea.

It’s only an iPhone. I hope he doesn’t think that he can exchange an apple for a cherry.

“Is it for me?”

“Is there anyone else here.” Brian said and another elbow hit his stomach, Betty didn’t want them to ignore her again.

“Thank you.” As she tore apart the box and took out the phone.

“It will come in handy to take some pictures.”

“Don’t worry about the pictures. I already got the DSLR from home. We don’t need a phone.” Betty spoke to steal Steve Job’s thunder.

She has a sharp tongue, I will give her that. Wouldn’t it feel… Brian was thinking when Andrea broke his train of thought.

“Still, I like it.” She got a little closer and kissed his cheek. Brian blushed at being kissed in the store. It wasn’t exactly empty.

Betty had a complex impression. She wasn’t sure what to feel as Brian’s hand got much of her attention. She felt like she was sitting on ice as his hand gave her goosebumps.

Andrea packed up the phone.

“Let’s go.” Brian spoke and Betty escaped his hold. Brian took one more gaze of her long legs. She always wore these short shorts which just ended before her ass cheeks began. Brian held himself back as he turned his attention to Andrea.

“Let me hold these.” Brian spoke like a true s…gentleman.

Betty had enough of his bullshit.

“Take these as well. I slept in a wrong posture and my shoulder hurts.” She rubbed the place where Brian had touched her to show her displeasure.

Brian smirked and just took everything off the table. With his super strength, it wasn’t much of an issue as they entered a parking lot.

Isnt she her daddy’s angel? A beamer in college.

Brian admired the BMW sedan as he kept the bags in the boot before entering the backseat as Betty drove. They went to a Mexican place before going back for the night to their own dorms.

Brian was lying on his back as he looked at the roof.

Should I meet Laura? He thought. Na, she already had a hard day at office. Brian soon dozed off.

————————————————-

In downtown San Diego.

Hardly any light entered the dark room as Jinny stared into the dazzling skyline. The room wasn’t just dark. Cigarette smoke had created another layer of haziness inside.

It wasn’t the best place to stay if anyone wanted to live a long life. Ofcourse, this was relative. If you asked Jinny, dying due to smoking would be a relief. It would mean, she survived like she always did.

She sighed as she stretched her body on the chair while taking in a whiff off her cig. Her body fully stretched to her toes and she tried to extinguish the lethargy. She needed to get out of this.

She had always been a survivor, she had tried to put on a show on the day of the funeral. She had cried like she lost everything, in a way she truly did but it wasn’t for Kevin. It was her long term plan that had taken a hit. Her position at the club had been affected by the sudden demise of that idiot.

The guys who wouldn’t look into her eyes now stared right into her face before going up and down her body with their lecherous eyes.. This kind of thing hadn’t happened to her after she had left the spa behind, Kevin would have gouged their eyes out. She needed him inspire of everything she went through.

Kevin might have abused her in the bed but she still got the respect from his lackies. All that gone, disappeared, vanished in a day, like it never existed in the first place.

Why did that idiot smoke if he can’t handle it? Fuck this shit. I told him so many times. If only this happened a few years later. I could have married him, I didn’t mind if he choked on his own spit. Why now?

I can’t go back to the spa. That’s death. Should I leave?

Leaving was always an option. Just walk away, it was simple solution. The problem was leaving alive on your own feet instead of a body bag. She didn’t want to try it. Even, the spa was better. She had tortured the girls there, turned them to whores who worked for meth now instead of money. She knew her fate but she would still be alive.

There was always a chance to make a comeback if she could stay alive. She still wanted to try once before she lost everything here. She had been waiting. This was all she could do.

I hope, Mr Juana can still manage a lift off. If he can’t…

She didn’t want to think about that.

Click.

The door handle opened and Jinny shuddered.

Is it Carlos? Should I take a bath? she thought.

Carlos was Kevin’s father, Carlos Juana.

She got on her feet and threw away the cig. She checked her cleavage in her Lacey negligee. She was dressed to for the occasion. She knew how to make men work for her. She cheered herself up for a moment as she got that crying face ready from her usual bitch face but it was only for a moment.

“Who do we have here?” The man spoke and Jinny’s heart skipped a beat. It wasn’t because of love but fear.

It wasn’t Carlos but his elder son, Daniel Juana.

Daniel had taken over the gang south of the border. He didn’t stay in San Diego. She didn’t want to accompany him. She knew the fate of the girls who went south. They never came back.

She wanted to scream but instead of words, tears flooded her face.

Daniel walked to face her.

“Grieving much? I don’t think even his own family members cried as you did that day. Don’t worry, you can help him one last time. Pap gave me this place, I didn’t expect that you came along with you. I can make an extra buck, I guess.” He laughed a little.

He grabbed her boob and pressed it.

She cried.

“Nice breast. No wonder, he kept you for so long.”

She didn’t like what he said.

“He kept me because I was useful than everyone else.”

“Fiesty. I like it. I will see it myself.”

He pulled her boob as he tried to turn her around.

“Move, I want to see if your mama gave you a fine ass as well.”

She turned around and pushed out her ass for him to admire it.

I can’t go down without a fight. I will give him something, he can’t have enough off. I have to try. In a way, it’s better. Carlos wouldn’t be this lustful.

Daniel grabbed her meat. He liked it in his hand. He slapped it.

“Aah!” Shescreamed in pain she tried to move forward but he grabbed her shoulder..

Daniel liked the sound. He did it again, and again and one more time.

“A fine ass. I will give you that. So now tell me what you can do for me.”

He is a psychopath. Why didn’t Carlos come.

“I can manage this place and keep a look out for fresh meat.” She spoke about her regular duties.

He grabbed her ass over her see through negligee. He fingers grabbed it along the crack as he tried to widen it.

“And here, I thought you were smart. I won’t repeat myself again. What can you do for me?”

Jinny got the message this time.
