BRAX'S POV:
Kyle and I were behind the bar going through the books when Heath made his way in and sat down at the bar, glaring at Kyle…
"Take your break" I informed him, shutting the books, placing them back under the bar
"You sure?" he questioned
I nodded my head, signalling yes. Smiling at me, he made his way from behind the bar and walked out of the restaurant. Moving to the fridge, I pulled out a beer for Heath and set it down on the bar in front of him…
"Cheer up, you're going to drive my trade away" I proclaimed
"B's just had a go at me" he informed me, taking a long sip of his beer
"How come?" I questioned
"Says I should give Kyle a chance" he replied "he's not the bad guy in all of this"
"She's right" I informed him "he's not. He's our brother, and I know why you don't like him"
"You think you know why I don't like him…" he stated
"No, I know" I admitted "it's because for so long it's always been me, you and Case, and now there's another brother on the scene, you think it's gonna change things, but it's not"
"You're way off the mark" he proclaimed, chuckling nervously
"Am I?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at him "look, why don't you, B and the kids come for dinner tonight? I'll give Kyle the night off, he can join us and you can get to know him. What do you say?"
RICKY'S POV:
"So how did your chat with Heath go?" I asked as Brax helped me bring the grocery shopping in from the car later that afternoon
"Okay I think" he replied as we made our way into the house "he, B and the kids are coming over for dinner though. I think it'll be a good way for him to get to know Kyle"
"You think it'll work?" I questioned as I set the grocery bags down on the side
"I hope so" he admitted "I'm fed up of him moping around like a wet weekend and Kyle thinking he's not a member of the family because of Heath"
"You're a sweetie really, aren't you, Braxton?" I inquired, smiling at him warmly
He nodded his head, signalling yes… "But if you ever tell anyone that, I'll kill you"
"My lips are sealed" I assured him
Smiling at me warmly, he moved closer to me and wrapped his arms around me, kissing me softly…
Wonder how the Braxton dinner will go. Will Heath FINALLY give Kyle a chance?
