I want to thank than who has favored and followed. A special thanks to Miss. Kookies for leaving a review.

Athalia and Damien walked a few blocks before they caught a cab. Before the taxi pulled off Athalia was in her phone. No less than a minute the seventeen year old put her phone away and looked at the driver who was looking at them through the rear view mirror.

"Tidal Springs."

The driver lowered his eyes before putting the black taxi in drive. Athalia went back to her phone but had to look up after feeling eyes on her. She automatically turned her pale blue eyes towards the brunette male next to her.

"Tidal Springs? That's where the rich or halfway rich lives."

Athalia typed something in her phone before putting it in her dark demin skinny jeans and looked back towards her cousin. "Don't get me mixed up. I'm not demanding or anything but if we're going to run in a gang than we need a decent crib and your little run down wasn't cutting it." she lowered her eyes to the floor of the cab. "I'm sorry. I should of asked you first if you wanted to move."

Damien wasn't upset the slightest. He understands that Athalia most of been in control most of her life. He leaned over and placed a kiss on the younger girl's cheek. "I am not upset. I been wanting to move but I haven't had the funds since my mother died."

Athalia heard but she was trying and failing to push away the bubbling feelings she felt. She shook her head before frowning. "I been meaning to ask about Auntie 'Mani."

Damien looked at Athalia as though he was going to say something but decided against it. He'll tell her later right now he wanted to crash before he left to go to the meeting. After sitting in silence for over fifthteen minutes the taxi stopped. He looked out the window to see that they were in front of a penthouse. They exited the cab after Athalia gave the guy a twenty. After the cab pulled off Athalia pulled her leather jacket close as she and Damien faced the building.

"The whole building is ours?" Damien asked as they started to walk towards the glass double doors.

They entered a elevator and Athalia pushed the fifth button before she turned her pale blue eyes towards Damien. "Yup. All ours and there's a car in the garage that came with the penthouse."

Damien shook his head, amazed by it all. "How are you a fording this?"

Athalia looked down as a blush crept across her creamy cheeks. "Before I left my Uncle Michael gave me a million and half dollars. Plus a grand for my pocket. I paid for the penthouse and car with my card."

Damien stared at Athalia but before he could say anything the elevator stopped with a ding. Athalia pushed a peice of her dark brown hair away from her eyes before exiting the shaft. The fifth floor wasn't no different from the other floors minus the ground floor. It held a large loft apartment with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. A impressive entertainment area and a bar.

Athalia yawned before turning to head back on the elevator. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to call it in."

Damien nodded before grabbing the young girl and gave her a hug. "Thanks 'Talia."

Athalia blushed before backing up and entered the elevator. Damien watched the doors closed and sighed before pulling out a peice of paper from his back pocket of his black jeans. He glanced over it before shaking his head and folded it up. He put it back in his pocket before heading further into the loft.

-SR-

The early morning sun kept through the royal blue curtains of the penthouse. At the ring of the elevator Athalia stepped through the large metal doors. She wore a tight white laced tank top, black jeggings with a studded belt and purple and white high top sneakers. Her hair was pulled into a cheerleader ponytail. Athalia inhaled and exhaled before stepping further into the loft. She was about to call Damien out when the sound of someone humming caused her to look towards the back of the loft just as Damien exited a room with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

Athalia gulped. Feeling unfamiliar feelings stir in her core. She shook her head before turning away. What is wrong with her? This is her cousin, yeah some people do their cousins but it's just wrong. That's family and family don't fuck family, not the since of the word. "I'll be downstairs in a car."

Damien watched the younger girl rush into the elevator shaft. He noticed her reaction to him being in a towel and to be frank he won't deny the stir in his pants from looking at her. He shook his head before turning to head in the bed room to put on his jeans and black fitted t shirt and black work boots. He has to tell Athalia and soon, before something happens. After combing his hair forward, he headed in the elevator. When he exited the building a black Nelson with a silver trim sat outside with Athalia in the passenger seat.

"Well I don't know the streets of Stilwater too well so you take the wheel." Athalia smiled lightly before focusing on the road ahead as Damien got in the car.

Damien sat back and sighed. He really debated whether to tell her about the document he carries but thought now wasn't a good time. He put the Nelson in drive before heading down the street towards the row.
