My Brothers Rival

Chapter 14 { OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME}

Well a week had passed since my return back home for my k********g. My brother and Ruthless are extra protective over me, which is a bit annoying considering how my k********g wasn't even that bad. I mean I'm luckier than other people who've been kidnapped. I wasn't tortured, I wasn't beaten, or harmed in any way, and as a matter of fact my kidnapper was really really sweet and nice. Heck he even returned me home unharmed. Yet, no matter how many times I keep telling them and repeating it to them till I'm blue in the face, neither one of them are willing to listen to me, meaning that I have one of them with me at all times. I go everywhere they go even for business meetings and all. That brings me to what I am doing at this very moment. I am sitting, reading a book as my brother is talking with some mafia boss about some upcoming deals they have coming on.

Mafia Boss: "So, James, what's with the bookworm in the corner??", he asks my brother while looking at me with an extremely noticeable peak of curiosity.

James: "That's my little sister who loves to get herself kidnapped from home when I decide to go out of town on business. Therefore she's now going everywhere I go so as not to repeat her love for being kidnapped." My brother says to him with that cocky smirk on his face that I know all too well means he's giving me a hard time.

Me: "I would not say that I love being kidnapped per-say, but it wasn't that bad compared to what it could have been. I mean I wasn't harmed in any way. I wasn't mistreated. I wasn't abused, and I was given anything that I wanted." Is my snarky sassy reply to my brother as the mafia boss guy still stares at me as a smirk grows on his face at what he hears me say.

James: "See what I mean?? She love being kidnapped." He says with a bit of a laugh as the big time mafia boss let's out of laugh of his own and shakes his head.

Mafia Boss: "So does that mean asking if she could accompany me on a job that I have to attend in Paris this week, that would pay her 4 grand plus all expenses paid her with own Motel Suite and all the protection she could possibly need, be out of the question then ??", he asked causing my eyes to go wide at the offer and my brain to start wondering about what exactly it is I'd have to do for that four Grand, all-expense trip paid, to Paris. Before my brother can reply I immediately blurt out.

Me: "That would have to depend on what exactly it is I have to do for the four grand and all expense trip paid to Paris.", this of course causes the guys smile to widen genuinely spreading across his whole face and might I say he's quite handsome.

Mafia Boss: " She's a smart cookie do you know how many girls would jump on that off without even asking what they would have to do. Anyways all you have to do is make an appearance at a charity ball, have a couple pictures took, and have a good time before return back to the suite. We would be gone for 4 days and come back on the 5th other than that you do whatever you want. I'll even personally cover your shopping expenses if you'd like to go shopping for whatever you'd like and guarantee and promise the both of you that nothing would happen that you didn't want to at any point in time. You call the shots.", my mouth is partly opened in shock and I can't help but look to my brother saying, (if you refuse this I'll kill you), with my eyes.

James: "When would you guys be leaving ??" My brother asked still not taking his eyes off me.

Mafia Boss: "Tomorrow morning.", is the guys simple reply.

James: "I think you and I have known each other for a long time now Drake and I trust you so. I don't want you to find it disrespectful when I say that if my sister decides to say yes, because I trust you, I will give her this choice to decide, but there's one catch one of my men of my choosing has to go with her as her own personal bodyguard along with your protection if you agree to those and she says yes then I have no problem with it." My brother says now causing my mouth to hang even wider open out of shocked and surprise at the fact of what he just said.

Drake: "I can agree to that the only part that I have to clear with you is the fact that he won't be going to the ball. She will have my personal protection at the charity ball while he waits in her Suite." Says Drake earning a nod and understanding of approval from my brother in turn causing them both to look my way. I guess for the my answer.

Me: "I would have to be an i***t to say no to this opportunity, so I say ya." I say with a huge smile.

James: "Ok since everything is settled I will take her to get packed and let Ruthless know that he needs to pack as well." Says my brother causing my smirk to fall and his to grow.

Drake: "Great, I'll be by to pick them up at 3:30 AM on the way to the airport. " says Drake shaking mine and my brothers hand.

The ride home is quiet much too my surprise.

Once we get home I jump out of the car and run to my room to start packing and call Dean and tell the news. I only got to see him once since I have been back home because he had an emergency that caused him to have to go out of town. I have really missed him and wish I could see him.

After packing and reassuring Dean that I will be okay and see him when he returns still I take a shower and go to bed.
