**That's what I'm afraid of**

Brittanya was starring at the blonde standing across from the bar. Her mother did some bold shit in life but this top them all off. Kara…the snake of the south and such a low down cold hearted bitch inside. On the outside, she's blonde petite and beautiful that was the reason Brittanya was so drawn to the female.

"You don't look to happy to see me friend-"

Brittanya raises her brow. "I'm not your friend." She sneered at the blonde.

Kara pouts. "Aww don't be that way. Your birthday is coming up."

Brittanya cross her arms and gives her glare. "Why…are…you here Kara?"

Kara sits at the bar. "I've missed you guys. You and Angelina. My dad passed away-"

"Sorry to hear that-"

Kara chuckled. "Some how I don't believe that but I thank you." She checks the bar out. "Where's that busty blonde Love?"

"She has tonight off." Brittanya slams the vodka shot in front of her former childhood friend. "And I am sorry to hear about your lost."

Kara took the shot. "Yeah well…I loved and hate that man all in the same."

"Yeah, I know." She didn't really know her role, but Brittanya was for sure gonna find out after five years Kara wants to find both her and Angelina and make admen's. Minus the cheating boyfriends, she was not going to let Kara ruin her new found friends and life.

The next morning, Mark came into the bar early. He wanted to catch up on some paper work and look over some number from last night. They've been going up which was pretty good. But him and Kevin were thinking about expanding. Not just all over Houston but Dallas, San Antonio, and hell maybe California. Mark had been working so hard he forgot it was close to 4 and need some lunch. He places his ink on the pad of notes and unread paper work and heads into the main part of the bar.

"Hey! I brought you lunch."

He smiles. "Brittanya, you didn't have too."

"Well I know you would be here besides, I had to get away from Angelina. She was on the phone with Kevin and all that lovey dovey stuff was getting on my nerves." She said playfully rolling her eyes. Mark chuckles.

"She's in love darlin. Can't blame her, Kevin's a good guy." Mark takes down a couple of French fries.

Brittanya shrugs. "He better be or I will kick his ass."

Mark chuckles at the image of Brittanya kicking an almost seven foot tall man ass. "Would love to see that." He turns to her. "So who was that chick you were talking too ? You didn't look to happy."

Damn he watches everything. "Wow Mark, you couldn't help to keep your eyes off me huh?"

"Whatever answer the question little girl."

"All right old man." Brittanya giggled. "Kara is an old friend actually an ex best friend."

Mark put down his burger. "Okay…and?"

She knew Mark wouldn't drop it, so she gave in. "Kara is just trouble and sighs she got me into some into some stuff. But looking back on it I chose to do those things."

Mark was tired of her beating around the bush. "Like what?"

"Just know she's trouble okay." Brittanya felt like she was being pushed against the wall so she did the only thing that came to her mind of defense. "So just drop it." She snaps. "I didn't know bringing you lunch would turn into integration Mark-"

"This is my best friend and I business we run here the last thing we need is someone from the coming into the present and screwing things up. If she's trouble then keep her away." Mark spoke in a threating tone. "If you don't want to talk about it its fine."

"Thank you." Brittanya threw a French fry at him. "Big bully."

He smirks. "Not a bully, just looking out for ya…smart ass."

Angelina was flipping through a apartment finder magazine while waiting for Kevin to get dress. They were on their way to the bar for another night of hard work at Hanley's.

"Hey babe." He kisses her on the forehead. "What you looking at?"

"A place, my apartment is almost up on its lease. I could stay with B but she can be moody."

"Stay with me." Kevin said happily.

"What?"

"What?" He mocked her. "Stay with me."

Angelina really liked Kevin a lot, and they have only been dating for a few months. Even though there was a big age difference, Angelina was smitten with Kevin and vice versa. "I-I don't know what to say."

He pulled his hair into a ponytail. "Take your time baby, think it over."

Angelina was in love with Kevin's home. It was a two story four bedroom mansion in her eyes. Kevin simply called it a suburban home.

"Okay, I will. You ready go hon?"

"Yeah."

Angelina could get use to living with the man she's falling head over heels for and staying in this huge home. But the question that pondered in her brain was she ready?

Both Kevin and Mark were stuck in their office for two hours. "What could they possibly be talking about in there?" Layla asked.

"Don't know, but we open in a little while and they need to get come on." Brittanya said.

Angelina looked at her friend. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing."

"Don't tell me nothing B, something is wrong-"

Brittanya smirks. "I'm pretty sure you'll find out sooner or later."

As Layla was wiping down the counter, she was startled by the soft tap on her shoulder. "Sorry."

Layla smiled. "Oh, hey handsome." She leaned on the oak wood bar. "Dwayne right?"

"Yea, lovely Layla." Dwayne took the young girls hand and kissed it.

"That's right. You look for the big guys?"

"Yup." He held up a brown envelope. "Gotta handle some business."

"They are both in their office and has been there for a while."

"Would you like to go out to dinner with me?" He asked.

"…Sure." Layla simply said.

Dwayne smiled. "Great, I'll get your number on the way out."

She couldn't wipe the smile off her face. "Okay…yeah that will work."

As Dwayne headed into his friends office, he heard both Kevin and Mark talking. "Okay, okay what's the matter with expanding?"

"Nothing, but how are we going to do this?" Kevin ask.

"Me being a bully and your looks." Mark joked.

"Knock Knock big guys," Dwayne greeted his friends.

"Hey." Both Mark and Kevin spoke in unison.

"Look I'm gonna go check up on the girls." Kevin said.

"All of them or just Love?" Mark smirks. Kevin could do nothing but smile. "Whatever." As Kevin closed the door, Dwayne hands Mark the manila envelope.

Mark smiles. "Thank you."

"So how come you can't ask her all of this?" Dwayne asks.

"Because one of my best friends is a DA."

Dwayne laughs. "Best friend huh? Whatever I got a number to get."

Mark arches a brow. "Whos?"

"Stop being so nosy."

Meanwhile…..

Angelina and Kevin kept trading looks across the bar before she was elbowed by Brittanya. "Heads up."

Angelina couldn't believe he eyes. "Ahhhh Kara!" Brittanya could have thrown up in her mouth.

"I've missed you."

"I've missed you , ah look at you sooo skinny." Kara gave Angelina another hug.

"Ahhh thanks, man it's been forever."

Kara smiled looking back at Brittanya. "I know."

"What brings you here?" Angelina asks.

Kara turns her attention back to the blonde. "My dad passed away and I've just been going through some things."

Angelina did her cuties pout. "Oh, I'm sorry where are you staying at?"

"Hotel, not far from here."

"No you are going to stay with me." Angelina insisted.

Brittanya had to interrupted. "Angelina your not even at your own damn apartment. Besides, your lease is almost up so..(she looks at Kara) looks like you have to go back home to tell my mom I said hi Kara."

Angelina shakes her head. "Forget her look, My lease isn't up until at least weeks from now, you can stay there until we (she looks at Brittanya) think of something."

Kara hugs the busty blonde. "Thanks, it's gonna be just like old times."

Brittanya shakes her head walking away. "That's what I'm afraid of."
