Normal POV
"You know what? This is pure crap." Twenty five year old Oz Vessalius hissed, pushing a stack of papers off his mahogany wood desk.
He glared at his fater, who was staring at him with that silly smile on his face.
Truth be told, Oz never loved his father. Not after he realized that his father hated him and that he treasured his adopted older brother, Xerxes.
I mean, what was so special about him? Oh yeah: everything. He can cook, he can sing, he could ride a horse, he could handle a company, and he could drink fourty mini shots without getting drunk. But, there was one thing Xerxes wasn't good at and that was getting the girl's attention.
Thing is, Oz is a proud and arrogant playboy. Too proud and arrogant, to be exact. He can catch any girl's attention and he always wondered why Xerxes had Shannon when Xerxes didn't have the charms and techniques to capture those girls under a trance. He had also done one night stands every night and would run off before the girl would wake up. He was like this bastard of a criminal that got away with it all. That's right, you just heard Oz being called a bastard. But, what else was there to call him?
"You need to find a fiance and get married to her by the end of the year. If you can't do that, you can't own the company any longer." his father said, holding up a sheet of paper.
Oz growled.
"You can't just do that to me! I haven't even agreed to the damn contract as yet!" Oz yelled.
His father laughed.
"That's just how life is, Oz. You need to give up things you love and- - -" the sound of the window opening and a lamp being thrown out the window drowned out his words.
"Who cares for that bullshit?" he hissed, closing the window.
"If you want, I could just give the company to Xerxes..." he trailed off.
Oz glared at him, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.
"Do what you want! I don't care about this fucking company or about that bastard of an adopted older brother. But, I am not signing that contract!" Oz snapped before walking towards the door.
"Oh, Oz~!" his father called out.
Oz stopped just by the door.
"What the hell do you want?" he asked.
"I wonder if a Vessalius really backs down from a challenge. Are you ready to tuck in your tail and run?" his father asked.
Oz's grip tightened on the doorknob as he turned around, fire balzing in his eyes and an awful aura surrounding him.
"What did you just say?" he asked eerily.
"Are you ready to give up, Oz?" the father asked.
Oz walked towards his father and snatched the paper out of his hand.
He grabbed a pen from his desk and began to sign his name in the signature box.
"Here's your damn contract..." he muttered under his breath.
He thrusted the paper into his father's hands and left the office without saying a single word to him.
As he passed by the secretary's desk, the secretary called out to him.
"Mr. Vessalius! Are you leaving so soon?" the secretary asked, making Oz stop in his tracks.
Oz smirked before walking up to the secretary.
"Yes I am." he whispered into her ear before blowing on her ear.
The secretary blushed furiously.
"M-mr. Vessalius...!" she exclaimed.
Oz shushed her before the secretary could continue her rambling.
"Just call me Oz. I'll see you tomorrow." he whispered before heading into the elevator and pressing the button that led to the lobby.
He got out of the elevator and headed towards his car.
His trusted best friend, Gil, opened the car door for him.
And for the first time that day, he put on a genuine smile and sat down in his seat.
"Heya, Gil! How's Ada?" he asked as Gil sat in front of the steering wheel and turned on the engine.
Gil began to blush.
"Sh-she's fine, I guess..." he trailed off.
"So, when's your ten year anniversary of being together as boyfriend and girlfriend?" Oz asked as Gil drove the car out of the parking garage and began to head to Oz's penthouse.
"Today." he stated.
Oz's eyes widened as he shook Gil violently.
"WHAT? You never told me that last night!" he exclaimed.
Gil gulped.
"Stop shaking me or else we'll both crash!" Gil exclaimed.
Oz stopped shaking Gil and made Gil turn the corner.
"I'm serious, dude! Why did you not tell me?" he hissed.
"Well, you never asked." he said simply.
"But we're best friends! You have to tell me these kinds of things!" Oz pointed out.
"I was planning on keeping it a secret, Oz!" Gil whined.
Oz pouted.
"Secret splaset..." he muttered.
Gil parked right in front of Oz's mansion and ruffled his head.
"Now, Oz. You are a man, so stop acting like you are seven years old." Gil stated as he got out of the car and ran over to the passenger side.
He opened the door and Oz stepped out.
"Then, what are you doing?" Oz asked.
"Well, Ada said that she wanted to go to Twilight so I plan on taking her there tonight. Everyone's invited, as well." Gil explained as they walked into the mansion.
Basically, Oz and Gil both own the mansion and they live together. Even though Gil is still Oz's valet, he still is treated like a normal guy.
Oz's eyes widened.
"Wait, isn't Twilight the new bar that just opened up? he asked.
Gil nodded.
"Yeah. She said that her best friend, who works as a hostess, works there. So, she wants us to meet her. I heard she's kinda violent, but very sweet on the inside." Gil explained.
Oz sweat dropped.
"I would like to meet the sweet side of her, thank you very much..." Oz mumbled, which made Gil laugh at how Oz was acting.
Oz spotted a velvet box on the counter by Gil's cup of orange juice.
"Gil, what's this? A new watch?" Oz asked as he opened the box.
"Huh? What do you- - -" Gil was cut off once he saw Oz looking at what was in the box.
"A ring? Why did you buy an emerald-cut amethyst ring in 10K white gold with the diamond accents? This thing could've costed a thousand dollars, you know!" Oz exclaimed, looking at the ring.
"Well...you see..." Gil trailed off, sweat bullets appearing all over him.
Oz narrowed his eyes at Gil.
"Gil, I think there's something you're not telling me..." Oz said suspicously.
"Wh-what are you talking about, Oz? I told you everything I know!" Gil complained.
"Well, I heard that you don't like cats," Oz picked up the black cat that Ada had owned when she was staying over before she left to go study in Belgium three years ago. "So, if you don't want little Skylin to attack you, then I suggest you spit out what you're hiding for me." Oz threatened.
Gil let out a tiny squeak before jumping onto the counter, not caring if he knocked the cup of orange juice to the floor.
"Fine! I plan on proposing to Ada tonight at the bar!" Gil blurted out.
He then covered his mouth, realizing what he just told Oz.
Oz's jaw dropped in surprise.
"You never told me that!" Oz exclaimed, putting the cat down and resting the box on the coffee table.
"Well then! I didn't know what you would do if you found out if I was planning on marrying your sister!" Gil pointed out.
Oz laughed, which surprised Gil greatly.
"It's about time you made your move, Gil!" Oz exclaimed as he walked over to pat Gil on the back.
He then felt something slippery underneath his foot.
He stepped away and gawked.
"That is brand new navy blue marble tile!" he exclaimed in horror.
Gil- Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
Xerxes- What if they ddin't enjoy it?
Gil- What if I said that I wanted to zap you again?
Xerxes- NO! Don't hurt me!
Alice- *laughs* Do it, Gil! Hurt him!
Ada- *sweat drops* Stop acting so immature you two!
Gil- I'm so sorry, darling!
Ada- Whatev.
Oz- Well, R&R please! If you do, you get a virtual spade! =)
