I grabbed Holly’s hand and took her back to the entrance of the restaurant. Holding her hand felt like the most natural thing in the whole wide world. I’d made Trevor book the whole damn place because there was no way I wasn’t seeing her today. I also knew I wanted her to meet Rachel. So I called, paid ten thousand to the owner, and closed the place down. I left specific instructions he was not to let Holly Thompson know about the arrangement. I wanted to surprise her. I wanted her to feel special.
“Rachel, this is Holly. Holly, this is my kid sister, Rachel. I thought it would be nice for the three of us to grab lunch today.” Rachel wrapped her arms around Holly, and to my pleasure, Holly hugged her back.
“It’s so nice to finally meet you. Bryant has been going on and on about you. He has never mentioned a girl to me, ever. For the longest time, I thought he was too focused on his career, but I guess he was just waiting for you.”
I nudged my sister with my elbow to make her shut up. I loved Rachel more than life itself, but sometimes she just wouldn’t stop talking. Holly linked her arm with Rachel’s, and they began walking in front of me.
“Now, Rachel, since your brother knows so much about me, I am hoping you can level the playing field and tell me a little something about him.” Rachel looked at me with a mischievous smile on her face. She stuck her tongue out at me and turned to Holly.
“I would love to.”
Inside the restaurant, the owner was waiting for us, and his eyes turned into saucers when he saw Holly.
“Holly, what are you doing here?”
“Hey, Roy. Mr. Sommers is a friend of mine and has asked I join him for lunch. I hope that’s okay?” Of course, it was fucking okay. I paid a lot of money to make it okay. It pissed me off how timid and unsure she sounded when talking to this guy. She shouldn’t be this scared or vulnerable. She had me now. She didn’t need to worry.
“It’s okay because I paid for it to be. Isn’t that right, Roy?” My voice was firm. I wanted Roy to know I was a man people didn’t say no to.
“Yes, of course, Holly. I need to thank you for the amazing day we’re having.” Roy winked at Holly, and she smiled. I hated that she smiled at him. I hated that he dared to flirt with her.
“Now I know why he asked for spaghetti. Someone is trying to impress you, Holly.” Roy then turned to me, a friendly smile on his face.
“She is special. You hurt her, and no amount of money will keep me from breaking your legs.” Rachel began to giggle, and Roy gave her a wink.
“Now, if you work with a hunk like that, what in the Lord’s name are you doing with my brother?” Rachel asked.
“I heard that, you know.
