Love In Rio (closed)

Love In Rio (Open for one female)

“I guess I just needed a change of pace a way to start a new life and get out of the states……”

“I thought Rio would be the place for me a place where I could mellow in the other degenerates and thugs and slowly disappear from society”

“But I thought wrong”

The sound of the choppers flying overhead annoyed Alex Tiberius Stone to no end and he ordered another scotch to mellow on while he waited. He was sitting at one of the more popular hotels in Rio called the swan towers and was waiting for his interview on a security job that had recently opened up. Mr. Swan was another American like him who had made a small fortune in the hotel business by opening up a chain of high-end hotels across America and eventually overseas, swan towers in Rio was supposedly his baby and his most treasured hotel in the entire world. It supported thirty thousand of the most exclusive guests in the world and there were rumors that all the bathrooms were made of gold diamonds and linen paper towel. Edward supposed it was good enough for the rich and famous but he preferred his small beach house a few miles out of the city. The pretty waiter in the bikini gave him his drink and he refrained from gulping it down, he took a polite sip and put his other hand on the gun holster hiding underneath his black jacket checking it for the thousandth time. You could take a soldier out of the battlefield but not the battlefield out of the soldier it would seem.

“Mr. Swan will see you now Mr. Stone” another security Guard said coming up and gesturing for Alex to follow him back into the hotel and to the elevator.

“Well here it goes” Alex said gulping down the rest of his drink and feeling the alcohol quickly shoot through his system and warm his body. He got up and made his way over to the elevators following the man and watching him grope a couple of waiters as he moved past.

“Rio was a cesspool all right full of people who had the vilest and twisted cravings and personality it seemed like there was no end to the perverts or violent or sleazy people that I suddenly found my self surrounded by”

“Then I met Mr. Swan”

The elevator door softly pinged open and Alex was ushered into a large waiting room with the Swan logo displayed in small glittering diamonds, it was the sort of place that screamed power and money and more importantly demanded respect. Alex wasn’t fazed by it though after all people all could die the same way, all It took was a bullet to the head and you were done in the world no matter how wealthy you were.

The security Guard ushered him out of the hallway and away from the pretty blond secretary who was typing away at her desk. They went through a pair of huge double doors and into a large office over looking the hotel beach. An American man in a black suit was looking out the window and watching the hotel guest below.

“Sir Mr. Stone is here to see you for the job interview” the guard said stopping at the door and crossing his arms behind his back.

“Thank you Rual” the man said turning. Mr. Swan was a fairly handsome man who was starting to make the move form handsome to distinguished. His black suit and diamond cufflinks screamed rich but he has on a nice warm smile as he reached out and offered his hand to Alex. He starred at it for a long second trying to hide his disdain for both the social situation, of course that would not get him the job so Alex gritted his teeth and decided to give the man a chance.

“It’s nice to meet you Mr. Swan” Alex said taking his hand and slightly shaking it “What a fine hotel you have”

“Please call me Marcus come sit” he said smiling and gesturing at his black couch “can I get you some thing to drink?” he asked pointing at a small bar set in the corner.

Alex felt the urge for another drink and bite down on his tongue to distract himself. He politely declined and sat down staying on the edge of the comfortable black couch. Mr. Swan or Marcus sat down to and pulled out a simple brown manila file before turning to him, Alex saw his army picture on the front and hid the grimace at the barrage of memories the picture brought back.

A flash of gunfire

Tumbling out onto the dusty sands

“So you joined the navy right out of high school as a special forces member?” Marcus asked opening the file and pulling out some paper work.

“Yes sir I’m well equipped for any security job and proficient in all fire arms” Alex said quickly in an attempt to move the conversation away from his service, people never seemed to get that he didn’t want to talk about it.

“You shipped out to Iran after your training and ran escort and protection jobs for six months… then you were suddenly out of the service not even my contacts could find out what happened” Marcus said speaking evenly “which is impressive”

Being held at gun point

Sitting in front of the court martial

A smile haunting his dream

“My discharge was honorable….sir” Alex said rapidly beginning to unlike the man, he began to move thinking it was time to end the interview before he got into a gunfight.

“No you misunderstood” Marcus said getting up and stepping in front of him “while my contacts couldn’t dig up what happened they said you got discharged because you refused to give up your mission I need to know is that true?”

Alex closed his eyes and forced back the barrage of memories trying to break out of the fucked up parts of his mind. He turned and looked at Charlie and blew out a slow breath collecting him self before he answered.

“That’s correct sir” Alex said softly.

“And do you expect to keep that mindset on this job almost every one in Rio has a price” Marcus asked going over to his desk

“Did I have a price? Money, power, lust……….. they held nothing for me my only want was to crawl into my bed every night clutching a bottle of vodka and downing enough pain killers to stop the hang over the next day some may say that’s real fucking honorable but one of the few things that the military managed to stick in me was that when I said I’d do some thing I’d move hell and heaven to complete it….. so no I didn’t have a price”

“How fucking wrong I was”

“Sir you can count on me” Alex said

“Good” Marcus said relief filling his features “now this job wont be as exciting as your military time is you won’t be doing protection for the hotel I need a personnel body guard” he walked over to his desk and pulled out another file.

“You don’t already have a personnel body guard?” Alex asked moving over to sit at the desk.

“Raul is my personal body guard” Marcus said looking over at the man who brought Alex up as he pulled out a file , he turned and handed it to him “I need some one to guard my daughter she is a bit of a wild child and I need some one to keep her out of trouble”

“I can do that” Alex said shrugging and putting the file away “when will I meet her?” he asked curiously.

“Right now” Marcus said turning to the elevator which dinged and began to open.

Name: Kaitlyn "Kat" Swan
Age: 19
Height: 5"4
Weight: 110 lbs.
Hair: Blonde hair, falling to mid-waist.
Eyes: Baby blue with spokes of yellow and green.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kat Swan was a spoiled brat, and she knew it. At the snap of her fingers, she could have anything and everything she desired. Her mother had walked out on her father when Kat was just a little girl and ever since, her father continuously tried to make amends for Kat, blaming the divorce on himself. She grew up with many different "mom's" in the picture, her father marrying and divorcing women after women, one after another, in pursuit of the right woman. Kat stopped calling the women mom after the fifth wife left.

She was used to being able to do whatever the hell she wanted, when she wanted to do it, and wherever she wanted to do it. She was used to doing things behind her father's back, because she knew that he would never seriously punish her. The one time he tried to punish her by taking her phone from her, she cried until he gave it back forty five minutes later. She wasn't used to any rules, any restrictions, and she certainly wasn't used to having a bodyguard.

When her dad had told her he was going to be hiring a bodyguard to watch over her, she had absolutely flipped. She didn't need some guy to be hovering over her every move, watching everything she did, following her everywhere she went, and breathing down the back of her neck. She was nineteen years old, she didn't need a damn babysitter!

To make up for upsetting his princess, he had surprised her by buying her thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, clothes, makeup, accessories, and another new car. She didn't need the car, she had three others, but she certainly wasn't complaining or declining the present.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stepping into the elevator that would lead her up to her father's office, Kat pressed the button to the floor she needed before backing up and letting her body press against the back wall. With eyes closed, she began to wonder what her bodyguard would look like. Would he be one of the bodyguards that come in sometimes when her dad needed extra security? Would he be old and pervy? By some miracle, would he be young, and nice perhaps?

She wasn't entirely sure that she was ready to meet this guy, but she had no other choice. The bell rang it's high pitched chime, announcing the young girl's arrival. The doors opened and with a long breath pushing between parted lips, Kat allowed her eyes to open as her body joined the room.

"Hi daddy." Kat spoke cheerfully, her body crossing the room so she could place a kiss to her dad's cheek, a bright smile on her face.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“Hello dear” her father said kissing the girl back on the cheek and smiling at her. Alex could tell Mr. Swan loved his daughter by the look in his eyes. It was the same look his mother had given him when he was a kid, the same one he had gotten when he had shipped of to Iraq.

The same one he had gotten in the hospital as she drew her last breath

“I knew going down the particular road would make drinking that much harder to I pushed it away I would be professional or at least I would attempt to be”

“Kat this is your new body guard Alex Stone”

Marcus’s voice brought him out of his thoughts and he nodded stepping forward and clearing his throat. He hadn’t been a bodyguard yet so he didn’t know how to meet a charge. He simply walked to the front of the desk and nodded at her trying his best to look calm and professional.

“So what can I say about Kat Swan? Well first off she was fucking beautiful. Have you ever just closed your eyes and imagined your perfect place? It could be any thing a snowy field, a warm meadow, even a battle. Our happy places are wherever we are happy and at peace at it’s unique and differs between the person your talking to well Kat Stone was my happy place my calm harbor I had been a rolling ball on angst and anger before I saw her but the minute I did every thing melted away”

“It was unlike any thing I had ever felt”

Alex cleared his throat surprisingly nervous. The girl had taken his breath and composure away and he quickly regained it tightening up his emotions as he reached out with his hand.

“My name is Alex Stone ma’am” Alex said smiling at her “I am your new body guard I know your father is worried about you but do not worry you will be safe with me” he said nodding at her before stepping back.

“Why don’t you two go have dinner” Marcus said getting up and kissing his daughters cheek before turning to Alex “get to know each other and learn about her you two will be around each other more often then not so it would be prudent to try and gain as much of a knowledge about each other as possible”

Alex watched as Marcus quickly looked at her as if telling her to give him a chance. Did she not want a bodyguard? If so she might be rebellious and cause Alex problems.

Great

“That sounds fine by me Mr. Swan” Alex said looking over at Kat “would you like to join me Ms. Swan?” He asked as he felt the urge to drink burning in his chest again.

 

[smiley8022]

Stepping away from her father's desk, Kat flashed a smile at her dad before she turned her eyes to meet the figure stepping toward her. Her eyes traveled the tall man's body before she met his face, the nod he sent her way causing her brow to arch, a smirk on her full lips. Who was this man? And why did she suddenly need a bodyguard? Her dad must have lost his mind if he thought that this was actually going to work out.

Kat had been assigned bodyguards in the past, but they always seemed to leave after the first week or so. Her eyes scanned his face once more as the man seemed to be lost in thought. At least he was attractive. Most of the men her father chose were ugly, married, or arrogant pricks.

Stepping more toward her new bodyguard, Kat allowed her fingers to skim along the hem of the dark purple dress she was wearing before her eyes met his and she flashed him a polite smile. She noticed his hand reaching out toward her and she slowly took it with her own hand. She noticed how small her hands look compared to his larger ones, his touch warm and soft, yet tough and strong. A small shudder ran up the length of her spine as he spoke to her and she returned his smile, watching him nod his head once more toward her before stepping back.

The loud tone of her father's voice broke the silence that now seemed to surround the two, her head turning as she watched her father approach the two. She arched a brow toward her dad as he mentioned the two having dinner, getting to know one another. She really didn't feel like going out to dinner and getting to know her bodyguard... He already had a file that had all her information in it, and he would be spending most of his time with her as well, but her father wanted them to get to know one another, at dinner of all places?

Kat's eyes met her father's and he gave her a knowing look, causing her to sigh and roll her eyes. If Alex wasn't in the room, she was positive that she would be getting lectured about how this bodyguard needed to work out. He was worried about her safety and had been tightening up on security lately, and she wasn't helping her father out any by chasing away each bodyguard who tried to be of service to her. She didn't want to upset her father, she just couldn't stand the other pricks who tried to boss her around, treat her like an insolent child, treat her like nothing more than an asset.

Stepping toward her father, Kat gave him a hug before placing a chaste kiss to his cheeks. Her fingers found the strap to her purse, which found it's way onto her shoulder before her new bodyguard's voice filled her ears. She turned her body until he was in her sight once more and gave a polite smile, once more trying to be nice here but she didn't know how long that was going to work out.

"I'd love to join you, Mr. Stone. But please, call me Kat."

Kat tossed a sweet smile her father's way before she stepped out of the room and into the elevator, waiting for Alex to join her inside before she pressed the button to the lobby and let her back press against the wall, a soft sigh leaving her lips as her eyes closed for a brief moment.

"So, where do you want to have dinner at?" She asked curiously.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“Very well…… Kat” Alex said following her to the elevator. His eyes began straying down to her legs and he stopped himself instead focusing on the back of her head with all his military training.

“Maybe I was in love maybe I was in lust all I knew was that I needed to be careful and more mindful of my thoughts if I wanted this to work out”

“I wish I could go back and slap my self on the head”

He stepped in with her and visibly tightened when she let out a soft sigh. He wisely chose not to let his thoughts wonder and instead looked at the mirrored wall behind her. His reflection starred back at him as if understanding his need for a distraction. Alex was still fit from his military days and the black and red Armani suit he had splurged on was cut against his body to show that off, even though he hadn’t been getting a lot of sleep his face still managed to look handsome his sharp defined features giving no hint to the inner turmoil he was feeling inside, his hair was still buzzed short form his military days but he had allowed himself a little rebellion in the form of a shadowy five o clock beard.

“Yeah I was a pretty boy or at least I had been told I was that was me the typical all American boy with the looks of a model who cared if I was fucked up inside”

“I looked damn fine for a fuck up”

Her question brought him out of his thoughts. Where to eat? He hadn’t been here long enough to get a sense of what was good and not. Unless she wanted to go to a grungy bar he had found close to his house then he couldn’t help her. Besides she was the high class girl and she would know where the rich wined and dined more than he would.

Of course he couldn’t say it like that

“I’ve only been here for two days Kate” He said resisting the urge to call her Ma’am “So the only place I have ate at is your fathers bar and a McDonalds since you have been here longer and know the food better I think I will default to you” He said smiling a little just as the doors opened into the lobby.

“I was trying to be charming and nice being a peoples person had never been my thing I was blunt and told people what I thought about them even if that wasn’t good but she was technically my “boss” and being mean to her was a fast way to get my self fired”

“Or worse”

“What do you like?” Alex asked trying to make conversation as he began walking across the breezy open lobby. He saw a car waiting for them and started walking towards it keeping a easy gait so that he could continue talking to her “I don’t mind your the client Kat”

 

[smiley8022]

Kat's bright blue eyes slowly opened, her dark lashes fluttering for a moment before she let her eyes meet the back of his body, her eyes lingering for a moment as she noticed the way his whole body visibly tensed at the sound of the sigh passing through her lips. Her teeth latched onto her full bottom lip, kneading the flesh tenderly for a moment as she stepped forward, her body next to his, a small smile on her lips. Was he nervous around her?

Her perfectly waxed blonde eyebrow arched as he spoke about only being here for two days. He had only been here for two days, and he was already assigned to be her bodyguard? Her father must really like this guy, and he must be well qualified if he was already assigned to her without going through the usual "process" her father used.

With the sound of the elevator dinging and the doors opening before her, Kat stepped out and into the lobby first. She heard his steps behind her, joined shortly after by the sound of his voice, asking her what she liked. Her fingers found their way into her hair, brushing the long strands off of her shoulder and down onto her back. Her heels clicked against the floor as she made her way toward the door, her mind thinking over where she wanted to go. If she was stuck with this guy for the rest of the day, she at least wanted to enjoy her dinner.

Kat sent a smile toward the doorman as he held the door open for her to leave. Once outside, she flashed the same polite smile toward her driver as he held the door open for her to enter the car. Kat pulled her purse close to her chest as she climbed inside of the car and sat on the opposite side so Alex could take the seat next to her in the back. Another quiet sigh left her parted lips as her left leg crossed over her right leg, her dress riding up her thigh just slightly as she let her back rest comfortably against the plush seat.

She waited until her driver was behind the wheel to speak to him. She sat forward just slightly, her hand gripping the seat in front of her.

"Carter, I'd like to go to Armani's."

Sitting back in her seat, her eyes turned to him as she smiled slightly.

"I hope you like Italian food, Mr. Stone."

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

There are some people that just embody sex have this natural seductive allure that they don’t even try to do a crossed leg here….. a wink there its not some thing you can replicate or fake sure you can be seductive but its never comparable to people with natural seduction

Kate it would seem was one of those

Alex watched her cross her leg and pretended not to notice. He may not have been around many girls like Kate but she was no different than a terrorist or an enemy combatant. He just didn’t have to show any fear (or in this case lust) to her. If he could get to dinner he might be able to calm down. If not he was going to be in for a long long job.

He sat down his suit jacket opening a little to expose his white shirt. It was cut against his body showing off his muscular frame. The black stock of his gun flashed briefly snuggly fitted just above his armpit. Alex quickly moved his jacket back up to cover it his slender rough fingers moving up to lightly pull the button back through the loop. He didn’t think her father would approve of him flashing his gun off everywhere.

“I love Italian food Kate” Alex said his voice deep and smooth as he regarded her. His green eyes traveled up and down her frame again quickly sparkling with some kind of intensity that was hidden. The upper corners of his mouth lifted as if into a smirk but it never reached his mouth. He felt his body ache to relax but he stood straight and tall keeping his back just barely resting on the leather seat.

I had a job to do and that wasn’t to get friendly with the sexy girl I had been tasked with protecting. I was already going to have enough problems keeping my drinking and my nightmares out of my job. I didn’t need to get comfortable and start slipping up.

“So I have your file” Alex said before wincing and realizing how weird that sounded “what I mean to say is your father gave me a file detailing you but you probably know nothing about me so please ask away”

I knew I was going to regret it the minute I said those words

 

[smiley8022]

Kat let her eyes trail his face, lingering on the tight muscles of his jaw before slipping down to look at his chest, a black gun flashing for a moment as she swallowed the tightness in her throat. He was serious about his work. At least she wouldn't have to worry about that. His voice brought out of her thoughts, her eyes meeting his face as his eyes were occupied with looking over her body.

"I'm glad you do."

She replied in a soft voice, his voice deep and loud, ringing through her ears, causing her body to grow warm. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye as she noticed how stiff and firm his body was, his back hardly touching the seat behind him as he remained upright and professional. Her head turned, her eyes taking in their scenery as they drove along the road. When he spoke up, mentioning her file, her own back straightened up, her fingers growing tight on the seat beneath her.

"Of course he did. We don't want the bodyguard to be devoid of information upon his new brat to babysit." She spoke, her voice heavily filled with sarcasm. "I can ask you anything?" She asked, her curiosity peeking. Her body turned sideways in the seat, her eyes meeting him with excitement shining within her irises. "How old are you? Where are you from? Since you aren't wearing a ring I can assume that you aren't married, so do you have a girlfriend? What made you seek out my father for a job?"

Biting her lip, she flashed a smile his way before resting back against the car seat again. "Sorry, I'm just really curious."

Before he was able to respond, they were pulling up outside of the Italian restaurant, a smile lighting up her face. Carter parked the car before coming to her side and opening the door. She took his hand as her legs uncrossed, her body slowly rising from the car until her heels met the ground and she walked behind the car, her purse being slipped onto her arm. She met Alex on the other side and began to walk toward the building ahead.

Once inside, the hostess noticed that Alex Swan was walking in and immediately ordered the closest waitress to attend the couple to a nice table. Kat bit her lip as she noticed that since it was already hitting the evening, candles were placed on the tables, the entire restaurant smelling of sweet flowers and delicious food. Kat followed the waitress to their table and quickly took her seat. Kat selected a bottle of wine from their best collection, sending the waitress on her way, noticing the way the girl's eyes lingered on Alex's face and body, making Kat roll her eyes.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

She spat the questions out quickly causing Alex to smile a little. She was naturally curious and inquisitive good if she ever got captured or kidnapped she would be smart enough to ask her captors lots of questions. It also meant that there was more to her then meets the eye and she wasn’t as dumb as she may want people to see. Of course now he would have to answer her questions but luckily she hadn’t asked any thing to difficult.

She was curious about a girl friend ha! I debated telling her that I hadn’t had a “girlfriend” since before I joined the marines. I had plenty of fuck buddies during my time in the marine (some in the marines and some not!) but nothing serious. I was gone far to long for any thing to come of it. Besides the longer I spent in Iraq the longer I became a fuck up.

Not the kind of man you would take home to meet the folks much less date

He saw the hostess immediately jump up to cater to Kat’s needs and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He knew he was going to have to get used to this now that he was her guard but he couldn’t resist the snarky side of him that wanted to make a joke about the rich and the famous. Alex grew up in middle suburbia never having too much nor too little. His family was happy and content with their lot on life and the fact that they wouldn’t ever know high class never bothered them in the least.

He reached out quickly pulling her chair out for her to sit down in. HE waited until she sat down before pushing it in and moving to the table his rough fingers accidently grazing the top of her shoulder. He moved past the waitress not even noticing her eye fucking him and sat down straightening his jacket once again.

“I am 26” Alex said seeing the wine and painfully ignoring the need to rip the top off and down the entire thing “I’m from upstate New York near Rochester I do not have a girlfriend and I was looking for jobs in Rio when I found your fathers add” he explained.

Now you may be asking why Rio? Well it was a change of pace in a way but I also choose Rio because I wanted to disappear. Rio would be my safe haven

If I let it

“Allow me” Alex said getting up and grabbing the wine bottle. He gently popped the top and poured them both a glass expertly as if he had done it many times before. He carefully handed her champagne glass to her and sat down with his own ignore it for now as the waitress came back.

“What can I get for you” She purred batting her eye lashes at Alex and barely paying Kat any thought.

 

[smiley8022]

(I really meant to edit this post and post it in normally, but I didn't even think about it once I hit post. I'm sorry! I feel like an idiot. :b )

 

[smiley8022]

Kat arched a perfect blonde brow towards Alex as he pulled her chair out for her and even pushed her chair in for her once she sat down. A shiver ran the length of her spine as she felt his rough fingers brushing against her shoulder just briefly, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip as he took the chair across from her at the table.

Her eyes roamed the menu as she listened to him speak, a smile touching her lips as he mentioned being from New York. She continued to listen until he finished speaking and she decided to join in the conversation. "I love New York! Daddy's taken me there a few times while he was on business, and I fell in love the first time." She flashed him a grin. "And I'm not sure if you want me to return any of those questions, since you already know all of my information." She shrugged.

Kat's hand lifted from her menu, reaching toward the bottle of wine when Alex spoke up and rose from his chair to grab the wine bottle. She sat back slightly, watching as he poured them both a glass. She gladly accepted her glass as he offered it to her, her eyes never leaving his body as he returned to his seat. She noticed his untouched glass as she rose her own to her lips, taking a good sized drink. She placed her glass back on the table before leaning slightly forward.

"Do you not drink?" She asked curiously.

Her eyes moved from his body to the approaching waitress as the girl leaned over, her fingers curling to the defined muscles of her bodyguard's shoulder. With an aggravated sigh, Kat placed her menu down loudly and turned her eyes to the waitress.

"Excuse me," She spoke in a polite voice. "do you like your job?" A smirk took place on her full lips as she sat up tall in her chair. "If so, I advise you to stop acting like such a slut, stop trying to get attention from a guy who hasn't looked at you once since we walked in, and get me my usual as well as whatever Mr. Stone would like from the menu. And don't keep us waiting long either, I'm sure my father would be quite displeased to hear that his help is slacking."

With a rueful smile, Kat handed her menu to the speechless woman and sat back in her chair once more, one leg crossing over the other as she drank heavily from her wine glass. She waited until Alex placed his order to speak up once more.

"I'm sorry you had to see that, she was just really getting on my nerves."

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

God damn

Alex resisted the urge to smile as he watched the waitress scatter in fear. The girl was a spitfire! Her words had cut through the waitresses flirting (which he hadn’t even noticed…… Idiot) and turned her into a scared cat. Most high society girls were like that any ways, at least with the help but he noted that she didn’t do it until she became a nuisance. It was nice to know she wasn’t a complete snob, maybe protecting her wouldn’t be so bad after all.

“I didn’t even notice Kat” Alexander remarked his large hands reaching out for his wine glass to fill it, his nimble fingers lightly touched the edge of the glass before he took it off and instead went right for the glass of water to the side. He fiddled with a second before gently picking it up and moving it to his lips. He took a long sip and gulped it down. The cool water did nothing to quench his need for a drink but he knew once he started he wouldn’t be able to stop.

“I didn’t even notice she was flirting with me” He said setting the glass back down “I guess I’m a little out of practice with the flirting thing” He said shrugging and smiling softly “next time just tell me and as your security I will handle it”

“As for your earlier question” Alex said his eyes barely tightening to show his distress “I do drink Kat but not a lot I don’t like the taste of alcohol all that much it doesn’t go down correctly” he said lying as easily as if he was eating.

By now I lied as easily as any one could be. I tried not to drink in front of people as much as possible. When I started drinking I didn’t stop and it would be better for every one if they didn’t see me drink a small bar. The wine was an excellent year though…… It was a shame not to try some but it was my first day on the job and I didn’t need to expose my skeletons just yet.

“Any more questions?” Alex asked raising an eye brow and smiling as the appetizers came “I’m an open book” He remarked.
