Chapter 8
The Alarm on the phone waked me from the deep sleep I was in. Naked, under the sheets...feeling her close to me, perhaps too close. Our legs tangled together. Her hair all over my moans when she herd the sound and cursed under her breath. She knew it was time for this perfect moment to end. The day was starting.
I walked towards the bathroom and turned on the shower. The water steamy hot...just like I like it. A stupid smile forms on my face as I remember everything that I did to her last night. Veronica was indeed an amazing woman, she could turn on any man that sees her a thousand feet away.
Sure they argue, but at least they found something in common, they were both amazing at sex. The thought of her under him, made him hard. He could feel himself get excited, so as any man would do early in the morning...he started to take care of the demanding need to relief would have love to stay in bed, but business was business and it needed to be taken care of.
He decided against interrupting her when he heard she was on the phone. Insteady he went ahead and started to get dressed. He settled for a nice grey for him downstairs was Carmen with his coffe ready. He ran a hand thru his hair to make sure it was perfectly combed. The news paper was neatly folded on top of the table. Sure he loved technology, but he was still old school.
" Morning"
There she was,...and for some reason she looked more beautiful than ever. Maybe too beautiful. But there was only one problem.
" Where the hell do you think you are going dressed like that?"
" dress like what?"
" like...like.."
" what is wrong with what im wearing?"
" its...its too tight."
" stop it, your not my father."
" Veronica, I said..."
" I don't care what you said...you are not my owner...and I have to go...im already late"
" VINCE, ANDRE..."
" yes sir..."
" Andre, you are going to drive Veronica around...Vince you are with me."
" yes sir.."
She didn't bother to kiss him good bye, but he didn't care, because at least inside that bedroom, she belongs to him. He decided against making any initiative to be sensitive but the urge to grab her and take off that tight skirt was there.
" oh, and Andre?"
" yes?"
" Next time I catch you looking at my wife's ass the way you just did, I am gonna cut your dick off"
" sorry sir, I..."
" get the hell out of my face"
In seconds they were gone. And I felt a bit of a relief, I liked the company of no one at times, it makes you think with your head straight. The coffee Carmen made was too good, she knew him probably like no one did.
" So...I can assume you spoke to about Adrianna."
" I did..."
" you know...yesterday she was asking me about her...I think she was jealous"
" Veronica jealous?... Yeah right."
" Im just saying"
" We don't feel like that for each other Carmen"
" Well is a shame...I think she's good for you"
I didn't answer anything to that.I kissed the woman on her forhead and walked out. Outside the black Audi was waiting for me. As we make our way to the factory I look around the streets of Riverdale, my town. The level of poverty was increasing a lot. People were without jobs and it drove me crazy not to be able to do anything about it, that was why the plan to expand the factory was important.
Its funny really, how the factory got started. My dad tells me he was helping a neighbor because he broke his arm and couldn't manage to fix his roof because the tools were too big and father took it upon himself to help the poor man, since then he had the idea to create tools that were smaller, lighter and easier to use. That was how Andrew's Tools Factory was made. And I was proud of that.
Sure he got himself into dirty business and that was why he was in the postion he was in, but his father teached him many things and one of them was to work hard and help others. When he arrived at the factory, many " good mornings" and " hello's" were heard. To all of them he smiled and nodded, until he was finally able to escape into his office, Jughead Jones walked in right after.
",Good Morning"
" Morning Jug"
" so...you have been married 48 hours, how does it feel?"
" Weird."
" I bet...anyways...theres a lot we need to catch up on"
" fine...lets get started"
" ok...Lodge started the process to buy the South Side high school to which we gave that to Mayor McCoy so she can accelerate the process"
" good, whats next"
" Blossom Industries want to purchase 2 million dollars worth of tools from our company, they want to expand their syrup sales, they want to sell it Nation Wide."
" what do you think we should do?"
" Well, its good business"
" guess who is working for the Blossom's?"
" who?"
" Adrianna Guzman"
" no way..."
" she was at my house yesterday"
" what the hell did she wanted?"
" to just make her presence known. She is not stupid, she knows I have business with them, thats why she started working with the Blossoms"
" Do you want me to decline their 2 million dollar offer?"
" that would only bring consequences with the council. Business is business, go thru with it...and please deposit the money I gave you into the factory's accout."
" hows your wife?"
" annoying"
" annoying as in...you two already...you know"
" We did...and fuck Jughead, it was amazing"
" tell me all about it"
" She's...hot and sexy, and drives me insane...I can't be in the same room with her for two minutes without getting a hard"
" that's good to hear...i guess this turned out to be a good thing".
" don't confuse things Jug, this has nothing to do with love or anything like that...i guess it's just physical"
" If you say so..."
" The new budget that we assigned, will be used for the orphanages and low income families of Riverdale. I don't think this money should be use to sponsor any more political campaigns. "
Sitting across from me was Nick . Former President of the Lodge Foundation. At first I felt bad just coming from New York and taking over the foundation, but after learning that all funds were going to stupid political campaigns, I think it was the best decision I could have make. The only reason He has not been fired, is because my father has a lot of business with his family in New York.
" I don't remember you being this bossy and determined"
" there are a lot of things you don't know about me"
" you mean like why there is a human gorilla right outside your door?".
" He works for Archie..."
" oh yea...your little husband, how is he by the way?"
" well...first of all there is nothing " little" about my husband, and second of all...he's fine"
" did you already told him that you and me..."
" that was a long time ago...it was at best just insignificant, besides what I speak to him about is non of your business"
"Very well...I'll see you around... "
He was finally gone, and I was glad to be left alone to just think. Her head was hurting with everything she has on her mind. Archie...the foundation, Archie...her family...Archie..., that slut that was at her house the day before.
She has never been the jealous type...but it boiled her blood to just think about the two of them together, specially because he loved her. If it would have been any regular slut that just slept with him maybe she wouldn't be as mad, but this was different because they shared so many things together.
Desperate to know more...I find myself searching on my phone for a private investigator in Riverdale. The only result I got was of someone called Alice Cooper. The phone rang at least three times before someone picked it up. The lovely voice answered politely.
" Alice Cooper"
" good morning, I would like to hire your services as an investigator, there is someone I really need information about."
" sure thing...I am going to send you an email asking a couple of questions regarding the person you would like to investigate... What is your name?"
" Veronica Lod...Andrews, Veronica Andrews"
" Well, Mrs. Andrews...please give me your email and your personal information so we can get started."
And I did. I gave her everything she asked me for. Maybe I was acting like my father, but I didn't care...I wanted to know everything there is to know about this woman.
" Miss Lodge?, I just received a call from Riverdale's Children's Home, someone left a child outside, but the administration says that they do not have enough space for called the other two Orphanages but they are full as well. They didn't not know what to do so they called the police and they took him. Unfortunately there's nothing they can do,so he will probably end up with the parents again, the kid says that he does not want to go back"
" Call Sheriff Keller Martha, tell him not to do anything, tell him Im on my way...Andre lets go..."
