" Good evening King Evander, can I take your order?"Harper politely ask , acting as if she wasn't bothered by his sultry gaze on her every movement.
" I will just have a glass of iced tea for now and wait for you. I should be really hungry by nine." King Evander smirked. His honey colored eyes traveling down the length of her body then back to her bright green ones.
" Harper gulped, " Okay , thank you" she mummed shyly in a low voice with her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Swiftly moving From his side to take Nana's order .
On the other side of the table Jackson covered his mouth with his hand to stifle the laughter that tried to escape his lips. Until he felt someone tap his shoulder. It was Rylee who had approached him to take his order. He glanced up and smiled, " Hay wild child."
" She looked left and right, placing her finger over her lips. "Shush, mom's going to hear you." She whispered
" Didn't you turn eighteen last month?"He questioned "Now that your all grown up you don't even need to sneak into the clubs anymore." He really wasn't sure if she had turned eighteen yet, because he has been looking after her for the last two years. Bringing her home from the clubs when she would get trashed. Sometimes she would even crash on his couch because she would pass out in his car on the way home from the club and not be able to walk inside her house.
" Yeah, but I'm still in trouble for leaving Lady Hazel's grandson's birthday party last week to go party at the club with Steve Johnson . But the good news is since you have been staying with Alex I found a new designated driver."
" Yeah, Who Is it ,Steve?"Jackson ask concerned. Knowing how some of the creeps prowl the clubs late at night looking for young drunk girls to take advantage of.
Shaking her head she grinned " No not Steve" Nodding towards the other side of the table she said "Harper she's a great designated driver she don't even drink." Noticing the concerned tone in Jackson's voice. She said " I'm not sixteen anymore you can stop worrying about me."
" Well if your going out tonight you may want to go with us, Harper has a date ." He informed her.
" With you and Ethan" she hissed, rolling her eyes. " last time I hung out with the likes of you two some jerk offered me two hundred bucks to give him a lap dance. Just because I was in the VIP room with you and your sluts"
" Oh come on Rylee, if they ask I'll tell them I'm your pimp and we can make a lot of money." Ethan teased
" Oh hell no!" She almost shouted shaking her head.
" For real Rylee you should go with us. It's going to be fun and you can get to know my wife she's Ethan's sister." Jackson said as he slipped his arm around Karmen's shoulder. " Alex and Lexi are going too ,you can get to know our New Queen she's Ethan and Karmen's childhood friend " he added
" Really?" She ask peeking over at Karmen, who shook her head " Really " Karmen confirmed.
" Okay where are we going?" She ask, Jackson but Ethan was quick to answer.
"We're taking Lexi to the Diamond to stuff money in strippers panties."
She shrugged " sounds fun, in a VIP room or out in the bar?" She ask
" Out in the bar, but if you want to give me a lap dance we can go to a VIP room." Ethan teased,
" In your fuckin dreams Ethan." She snapped then add " I will meet y'all out there I don't get off until nine."
" Damm Rylee how did you know I have been dreaming about your long legs wrapped around me hunching me like a dog in heat." Ethan chuckled.
"Shut up, let me take your sisters order"she snapped turning her attention to Karmen politely asking " Princess Karmen what would you like."
" I would like the Reuben sandwich and fries." She ordered determined to not be force fed by Jackson tonight out in public.
After Rylee took Karmen's order Ethan slide his membership ship card towards her. "Here use this to get in we can use Jackson's." She nodded slipping the black card in her back pocket as she walked back towards the kitchen to give the chef their order.
When the family dinner was over King Evander moved over to the end of the bar to wait for Harper to get off work. While the rest of the family went to Jackson's mansion.
Upon entering the Ornate old mansion Jackson lead everyone to a large room with comfortable looking furniture and a huge hand carved white marble fireplace .
" Please make yourself at home"He said, motioning towards the comfortable looking sofa "I don't have any servants and I only have one maid, she only cleans the house and leaves."
He walked over to a hidden panel on the wall and like magic the outer wall of the room lit up revealing sliding glass panels that opened up to a large veranda with well made outdoor furniture and lots of places to set and talk.." It's a nice night you may want to set out here for a while."
Karmen grabbed her mother's hand leading her out to the veranda with everyone else following them.
Just beyond the veranda a beautiful lighted pool set with a waterfall and two huge round gas torches at the end. The pool was surrounded by a beautiful garden with unique plants and flowers from around the world making it a lovely place to entertain guest.
"I love this." She smiled , glancing over at Jackson.
" Babe. I'm glad you like it because I just had it put in last year and would really hate to take it back out." He said, placing a quick kiss on the top of her head.
Turning around he looked at the rest of the family. " Feel free to make yourself at home. There's some card in the desk right in there." He said pointing back inside the room they just came from. " And a few TV's scattered around. Some out here and one back inside. Then there's always the pool table unless one of you are a pool shark like Karmen then I guess nobody wants to play with them." He chuckled
