Ellie
My day of being grounded has started. Mom woke me up at 5 am and said she'd call me in for breakfast. My mom is going to drive me crazy. I trudged into the yard and laid on a hammock by the pool. I just want to sleep. I swung back and forth in the hammock. I heard a click then I screeched. The sprinklers were turned on and I was soaking wet. I walked into the house and ran a hand through my wet hair.
"Good morning, misses," The chef said.
"Do the sprinklers always come on like that?" I asked.
"No, I don't think so. Would you like your breakfast now?" He asked.
"Yea, I guess," I said. He gave me a plate of eggs and I ate.
"I suggest you eat fast before your mother gets up," He said.
"I will," I said drinking my orange juice. "I need a favor though,"
"Which would be?" He asked.
"I need you to get my purse from my mom," I said.
"Why?" He asked.
"Well because my money's in there and I need something to do since she insist on turning sprinklers on me," I said.
"I'm not supposed to go into their personal business, it might break a privacy agreement and they could sue me or kill me if they're in a bad mood," He said. I sighed and got up. I quietly snuck up the stairs and outside of my parents room. I peeked in and saw only my Dad was in the bed asleep. I saw a dim glow from the bathroom and crept in further. I peeked in the bathroom and heard running water. Okay she's showering. I quietly went over to Mom's nightstand.
"Ellie, what are you doing?" Daddy asked. I jumped and saw him sleepily looking at me.
"Go back to sleep please," I said.
"Your mother is going to be mad," He said.
"She turned the sprinklers on me!" I exclaimed.
"Go grab a stack from my office," He said. I kissed his forehead.
"Thank you, Daddy," I said.
"Mmhmm," He said tiredly. "If your mother finds out then just lie,"
"Got it," I said. He rolled back over and I slipped down the hallway. The wooden floors now seemed incredibly loud in the silence of the early morning. I made it to my Dad's office and typed in the code. It opened and I walked over to Dad's desk, taking a key. I opened up a box on his desk and grabbed two stacks, shoving them into the small pockets of my shorts. I locked the box back up and walked down the hallway.
"Ellie?" A small voice asked. I turned around and saw Elysa. She held a Dora sippy cup and her hair was everywhere.
"Hi Lysie," I said.
"What are you doing?" She asked. I thought about my response, and what would please her.
"I'm playing spies, you can't tell anyone I was here okay?" I said. She nodded.
"Okay go save world," She said. I smiled and saw her stumble into my parents room. I went back down the stairs and out the back door of the house. I went to the front yard then opened the fence. Well I tried to open the fence. It's like electrically charged right now. I went to the control shed where a guard was looked at security cameras. He was asleep. I quietly crept over and flipped a switch opening the gate. I ran back outside and out the gate. I slammed it shut then walked through the streets of the neighborhood. Let's see where I should go today.
Eddie
Once I finally woke up I went to the bathroom and saw Patricia doing her makeup. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her close to my body. She smiled at me warmly. I apologized last night and we had some damn good makeup sex. I still know she's mad, but I'm okay with that. She placed a kiss on my lips.
"Are you ready for today?" She asked.
"What's today?" I asked. It isn't an anniversary or a birthday.
"Emi has her dance recital tonight," She said.
"Ugh I hate going to those things, those kids obviously aren't as good as her," I said hugging her tighter.
"I know they aren't, but she's very excited for her Daddy to see," She said.
"Do we have to go the whole time?" I asked.
"Yes, Eddie. It should be good, I mean it's like an expensive dance place and she's supposed to be in a good class this year," She said.
"Is our daughter off punishment by then?" I asked suggesting Ellie.
"Yeah, I want her to see her sister. It'll be a family type of night, I even think you Mom's coming," She said.
"I thought she was with her new boyfriend in Greece?" I said.
"That's a long story that she can tell you herself," She said fixing up her red lipstick. My mom is crazy, I'm pretty sure. She just does whatever the hell she wants. She'll be 90 and probably skydiving. Her attitude towards Patricia has gotten better because she gave her so many grandchildren. Since I'm the only child I'm the only way she can get grandchildren. Sometimes she considers Sarah her grandchild since Fabian is sort of like my brother. As much as I boss him around, and tease him and get pissed at him he is my best friend. "Anyway we're going out for dinner afterwards," She said. I groaned.
"Do we have to?" I asked. It is hell having a huge family and going to dinner, without one being completely angry.
"Yes, your mom is very excited about being with her little angels and son," She said. "And me,"
"Isn't sitting with her at the dance recital good enough?" I asked.
"Eddie, shush and deal with it," She said. "Besides I think she bought gifts for the girls,"
"Alright, I'll deal with my mother," I said. Patricia's phone started buzzing and she looked at the message.
"Ellie's in Manhattan," She said.
"How do you know that?" I asked. "And why do you care you made her stay outside I'll day,"
"I have tracking chip in her and by outside I meant on property," She said.
"In her?" I asked.
"Well more like on her. It's attached to her skin and it just looks like a birthmark," She said dismissively.
"That's weird," I said.
"Whatever, ugh I'm sending security," She said.
"Ellie, will just get pissed. Just leave her alone," I said.
"I don't want her in the city alone," She said.
"Don't worry she's tough," I answered. "If she can kick ass then she can go through the city alone,"
Ellie
Shop, shop, shop. My sisters went yesterday and today's my day. I walked into Jamba Juice with 3 shopping bags in my hand. I kept scratching my arm over my birthmark, it's being annoying as fuck. I walked up to the counter.
"What can I get for you?" The worker asked.
"Strawberry smoothie," I answered.
"Would you like a wheatgrass shot on the side it's very cleansing," She said.
"Sure," I said dismissively.
"Okay and your name is?" She asked.
"Ellie," I said. She nodded and went to fill the order. I sat down at a table and sighed. The front door opened and Levi walked in. He looked like he was sort of channeling my Dad, dressed much like him. He walked straight over to me and sat down. "What are you doing here you creep?" I demanded.
"Just seeing you," He said.
"How did you find me?" I asked.
"Well I heard Lilac say she couldn't text you and I was concerned," He said.
"You better tell me what's really going on," I said. He gave a grin and bit his bottom like sexually.
"I know who you are, I know who your parents are and what they do," He said.
"So you stalk me? What do you want?" I questioned.
"Nothing really, I'm just curious about you. You're sort of like a liar, with a double life," He said.
"I like a double life," I answered.
"So I'm assuming your parents have their own crew for you?" He asked. Of course I do. It's me, Sarah and my other "cousins". Alana is my Aunt Amber and Uncle Alfie's daughter, Zayden is my Aunt Joy and Uncle Mick's son and Felix is Aunt Mara and Uncle Jerome's son. We haven't done anything yet but it's in planning, we're all training privately in our own sections of the country.
"Yea," I said.
"I want in," He said.
"No, we all know how the business works and you don't," I said.
"You really don't know who I am?" He said.
"Should I?" I asked.
"Ever heard of the dealer of hearts?" He asked. I nodded. An infamous drug dealer that no one really knew. My parents supply him with what he needs. "That's me," He answered.
"You're the dealer?" I asked.
"In the flesh," He said. Huh, I guess that makes since on that package I saw him take, it was drug money. "And I would be great at it,"
"All you want is a free pass, maybe the payout. Well it's not even my choice it's my Dad's," I said.
"So what I want the money? That's all your family wants too," He said.
"It's tradition," I said.
"To cheat and steal and lie," He said.
"It's a family thing and insulting us won't make you get in," I said.
"I'm just saying, I can help," He said.
"Ellie," I heard the person said at the counter. I grabbed my shopping bags.
"Thanks but no thanks, I know how to lead my group," I said. I grabbed my smoothie then left the store. I could feel his eyes on me as I left. How dare he just ask? I don't even know him! And my "cousins" and I have been prepping for years! Alana in Los Angels, Sarah in Miami, Felix in Atlanta and Zayden in Chicago.
"Milly," Levi said wrapping an arm around me. I rolled my eyes. "Let's talk business at least, I need new inventory," He said.
"How much?" I asked crossing my arms.
"Why don't you take me to your drug place?" He asked.
"Why don't you show me that you can pay?" I said. I'm not about to show him where we keep our stuff. That's crazy.
"You aren't dumb are you Milly?" He asked.
"No, and don't call me Milly," I said shoving him away. He caught himself and laughed. I feel like he's going to be sticking around more.
