Dean POV
I hadn't wanted to leave that next morning to meet her father for lunch, but Roman and Hunter reassured me that she would be taken care of... she even told me she would be fine. The car had arrived on time and I had gotten in it. I had never been nervous, but I was right now. I knew that Jodi was different; I really cared about her.
"We are here." the driver said and I looked up to see a nice restaurant and knew that I didn't fit in here. I thanked him and got out.
"Mr. Ambrose, right this way." a girl said when I walked inside. I nodded and followed her. I was lead upstairs to a private area that looked more like a study than a restaurant. She opened a random door and I looked inside. I saw her father sitting beside a ceiling to floor window with a drink in hand.
"Ah, Dean, come on over." he said and I walked over to the other chair. He motioned for me to sit down and someone appeared beside him a second later.
"What would you like to drink?" the man asked me.
"Jack and Coke." I said and he nodded before disappearing again.
"You can tell a lot by someone's drink." he said and I just looked out the window. I had no idea what to say about that.
"You ordered the same as me." he said with a grin and I felt myself relax only slightly.
"Good to know." I mumbled and he chuckled.
"Dean, I know that you care for Jodi. I saw it last night. I am not here to stop you from dating her. I just want to know who she is dating. I don't get to meet most people in her life, thanks to her mother, and I finally got the chance to meet you." he said and I knew that Jodi had an interesting family life, but I didn't know there was that much tension.
"Thank you, sir." I said and he chuckled. I was so grateful when the man appeared next to me with my drink.
"The only thing I will tell you is that I will hurt you if you hurt her. I have enough money to make you disappear, so if you like your life don't hurt her. If you don't think that you will be serious with her then leave now. If you ever plan on straying then leave now. If you have ever been in a relationship and just got bored of it then leave now. I am not staying that by dating her you have to one day marry her, but I am saying that if she lets you into her life you had better be sure that you want to be there." he said and I nodded.
"I can't tell you what the future holds, but I can tell you that right now where ever Jodi is, that's the place I want to be." I said and he smiled at me.
"That's good enough for me, Dean." he said and I relaxed a little more.
Roman POV
I could not believe that I was doing this. Jodi had convinced me to help her up to the roof. We walked out from the elevator and the view was amazing, but Jodi was moving so slow. I had wanted her to lay downstairs, but she was tired of staying there. I knew that Hunter and Dean were going to kill me.
"Thank you." she said and I nodded as we sat down.
"I won't let them kill you." she said and I chuckled.
"Thank you." I said and she smiled at me.
"Do you need to go back home to your family?" she asked me after a few minutes.
"No, My ex has my daughter on a family trip. I was going to hang out with Dean anyways." I said and she nodded.
"How old is your daughter?" she asked me.
"Five." I said and showed her a picture. She smiled at them.
"She's you." she said and I smiled. A lot of people thought she looked like me and I was always happy to hear it when people said that.
"Thank you." I said as she shifted to get more comfortable.
"What about you? Kids, Exs, anything?" I asked her and she chuckled.
"Me and the cat." she said and I chuckled.
"Sorry?" I said with a laughed and she shook her head no.
"No, it's been an interesting life. I wouldn't change some of it and other times I wish I hadn't listened to my mother. I can tell that Dean is going to add some interesting times to my life." she said and I nodded.
"He will if you let him." I said and she nodded.
"I hope he stays around for awhile." she said and I could tell that she really liked Dean. They really cared for each other. I envied that.
"He really likes you, Jodi. He wouldn't stop talking about you that whole day after we crashed your shop that morning." I said with a chuckle and she blushed.
"I wasn't sure if I was going to see you two when I came to the show that night. I am glad that I did because he's not like anyone I have ever met." she said and I nodded. I knew that Jodi was from money and Dean wasn't. I just hoped that didn't hurt them one day.
"Jodi, just please don't hurt my friend." I said and she sat up and looked at me.
"Roman, I promise." she said and I nodded.
"What the hell?" a voice said and I turned around to see Dean and her father walking up on the roof.
"Hi, Dad." she said without even looking at him. I stood up and shook her Dad's hand. I exchanged a look with Dean and he looked more relaxed than when he left.
"You know that you aren't supposed to be moving around." he said and looked at her.
"And you aren't supposed to be drinking." she said and he chuckled.
"Just don't tell your mother." he said and she smirked.
"I wanted to come by and talk to you." he said and I looked at Dean. He motioned for me to follow him and we walked downstairs.
"How'd it go?" I asked him and he sighed.
"He can be intimidating." he said with a chuckle.
"I'm glad to see you here. I didn't know if I was going to be able to keep up with her." I said with a smirk and he shook his head.
"He wants her to go to Europe to recover." he said and I nodded. I knew that Dean would miss her.
"What do you think?" I asked him and he sighed.
"I told him I would support that idea because that takes her away from Stephen coming back right now." he said and I nodded. I knew that the police hadn't found him yet, and that her brother was hiding behind their mother.
We got ready to say something else when the elevator dinged and her father stepped out.
"She would like to talk to you Dean." he said and he nodded.
"It was nice to meet you both." he said and got back on the elevator to go down. Dean was already half the way up to the roof.
Dean POV
I walked out onto the roof and Jodi was sitting in one of the lounge chairs. The view was amazing up here.
"Why did you side with my Dad?" she asked me and I sighed.
"I think that you would be safer." I said and sat next to her.
"Why don't I get a chance to say what I want?" she asked me and I tried to take her hand, but she moved it.
"You can... do you not want to go?" I asked her and she shook her head no.
"So don't." I said and she smirked. I saw tears in her eyes and knew that something else had happened up here.
"I wasn't given a choice." she said and I was confused.
"Jodi..." I said and she stopped me.
"Dean, my father is the master of getting what he wants. You gave him the power without even realizing it." she said and I was confused and mad.
"No, I didn't, Jodi." I said and she smirked.
"I am leaving tomorrow morning." she said and I sighed.
"Please know that whatever you think I did... I didn't do it on purpose." I said and she nodded.
"Thank you for helping me last night." she said and I sighed.
"Please don't be mad at me. I don't even know what I did." I begged her.
"You told him you agreed with him and didn't even ask to see what I wanted... so Dean, I am not giving you a choice. Please leave." she said and I was surprised.
"You can't do that." I said and now I was frustrated.
"Yes, I can! I have had people tell me what I am doing my whole life until you, but now you just agreed with something that involves me without asking me!" she said and I sighed.
"I want what's best for you. I know that your Dad is right." I said and she shook her head.
"Did he make it seem like he was a loving father, that he cares, or that he is in my life? He fucking lied! He is sending me away so he can clean up my brothers mess. He doesn't want to hear my mother bitch so it's easier to send me off for awhile. I know that I am an adult, but sometimes it's easier just to go along." she said and I was surprised at that. I knew that they weren't a close family, they had money, but I had no idea that Jodi always got the brunt of the problems.
"I'm sorry... I didn't..." I was saying and she sighed.
"I know, now please." she said and pointed at the elevator.
"What if I am not here when you come back?" I asked her and she sighed.
"Well, then my Dad threatening you won't be an issue." she said and I shook my head.
"Fine, but know that I fell for you." I said and walked over to the elevator.
"We are leaving." I said to Roman as I stepped off the elevator. He looked stunned and then realized I was serious as I started grabbing my shit.
"What is wrong?" he asked me.
"We aren't welcome here." I said as I saw him grab his stuff. I walked out the back door and didn't look back. She had made a mistake.
Jodi POV
I felt the tears slip down my face as the elevator left the roof.
He's gone. He won't be back. I texted my father and shut my phone. I knew that Dad meant well, but I couldn't believe that he would threaten me because he didn't like my choice of guys. I knew that he was horrible, but for some reason I felt worse right now.
Good girl. I will take care of your brother. The car will pick you up in the morning so you can fly to London. He wrote back and I chuckled my phone onto the ground. I just hoped that Dean moved on quickly; he deserved to be happy.
AN: Please review.
