"So, Mr.Duran." my lovely girlfriend clears her throat as she stares into my green eyes with her beautiful brown ones from where she sits across from me at her desk, "After spending the past two years focusing on expanding your business nationwide, you've finally succeeded in your goal and are now a member of the Forbes Top 20 Self Made Billionaires of the year." she looks up from her paper with a smirk on her lips and I can't help but mirror the same expression

"With at least two Ashton's restaurants in almost every state, you are one of the youngest to ever do it at the age of 26 which is pretty impressive. What exactly inspired you to start your business?"

I clear my throat and lean back in my seat, "Thank you, Mrs.Duran." I wink at her and she rolls her eyes

"That's not my name."

"Not yet," I say in a sing-songy voice as she shakes her head and clicks her pen to start writing and setting up her phone to record my voice

"Come on babe, I have to get this done. This is my fourth interview of the day and I'm tired of talking," she says and I nod my head remembering how she told me she had a busy day today last night in bed

"Is Carter not here to take on half the responsibility? You're always overworking yourself." I asked her and she had told me he was swamped with photography duties and I sighed

"I don't know he promised me that he'd do that KeKe Palmer feature and then called me talking about how the photographer called in sick." she whines, "He brought me Mcdonalds so I can't be too upset." I spluttered out a laugh and reminded myself to thank Carter again for making sure she eats on days like this. With my business, I tend to forget to call to check on her sometimes and she literally forgets to eat due to stress.

Yes. You heard it here first folks. It's been two years and I have managed to coexist with Carter on the same planet without putting a hit out on him. Besides...he and Destiny have been pretty busy these last few years.

Meaning, the dude's a father. A daughter named Holly. I couldnt even kill him if I wanted to...unlike some people I have a heart.

A heart that only has enough love for my baby.

And yeah, Gio's important too but he thinks he can talk to me any kind of way now that he's in middle school. I hate how fast kids grow up.

As for Nelo...welp let's just say that her eyes are still only on him and I don't understand how he can be so clueless...but that's another story.

I wish I could say that I didn't understand what she saw in him...but he's my brother. I get it.

It's genetic.

He was only 12 and had multiple girls asking him to hang out to the point that he had to write how many dates he had and when in his tiny little student planner. The boy was a menace to the female society.
