Hunter’s P. O. V.
———————
” You know you could have just gotten here yourself and informed me when you did?” I angrily say to Dn as wee down from the car and sight Edward approaching.
He literally just arrived in New York and the dumbo had to give me a call toe get him.
Then he officially became a Google map in the car because he directed me all the way from the airport to my house.
General point of summary, He just wasted my time.
” And forfeit pissing you off? Not in a million years” he scoffed and pulled out his luggage from the trunk.
” Good to know” I red at him and collected one of his two boxes from his hands.
” It’s nice to at least set eyes on the good cousin for one” Edward says as he got to where we were, definitely to get a reaction out of me.
And he did cause I rolled my eyes.
” Eddy!!” Dn eximed and grabbed the elderly man in a tight hug.
” It’s been forever Dn. How’s life treating you?” Edward asks as they release from each other’s hold.
” Well, life still kept this frog of a cousin alive so on a scale of one to ten, I’ll say unfair” Dn replied as he threw one hand over my shoulder in a side hug.
Yeah, Dn is touchy.
” Talk all you want McConnell, you still love me” I rolled my shoulders to let his arm drop.
” Now if you wanna convince yourself, I give you the permission to use my name and not my family name. That’s just too much hope of convincing”
Edwardughed at Dn’s retort and stretched out his hand to collect the car keys which I handed to him so he could drive the car off.
” Soooo. You ain’t returning to work? ” He asked as we climbed up the entry steps to the house.
” Nope. I’m officially closed” I opened the front door and udette, Jenny and Cheryn were all waiting with wide smiles on their faces.
Don’t ask me why. Just bear in mind that a lot of people love my idiot cousin.
” Hey people” Dn hollered as they all came to give him little hugs.
” Wee back Dn, hope you’ll be with us for a while?” udette asks as she collected his box from him.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
Possibly to take it to his room.
He’s been here quite a number of times so we’ve saved up a room just for him.
” A while seems too short” he winked at her then walked to the right and flopped down on a sofa.
Jennifer collects the box I have with me and I think Cheryn went back to the kitchen.
” Okay, back to why you are not returning to work. Isn’t it too early for you to close up?”
” I didn’t close up, I have a secretary to carry on with some duties after I leave” I walked to the bar and picked a bottle of Scotch with two little ss cups and head back to the living area.
And it took me a full minute to realize I shouldn’t have made a statement with my secretary around Dn.
” And by secretary you mean Iris”
I knew it.
” Yes” I poured a shot for him and handed him his ss before serving myself.
” So what I’m hearing is you’re overworking your secretary?” He leans back in watches me with a certain ze in his eyes.
” No I don’t, today is just an exception” sipping my drink when someone rings the doorbell.
My cousin and I stare at each other for what is only seconds before he sighs and stands to get the door.
He may be a visitor here but he is clearly a member of this house.
So he can answer the damn door.
He unlocked the door that I can’t even remember locking and I tilt my head a little to see who it is.
And it’s Iris.
She held her red heels, (I think Michelle calls them pumps), in one hand and her face is the exact reaction you will get from buying a two year old a private jet .
Entirely surprised.
” Dn?” She called out at first like she wants to be sure she isn’t hallucinating.
Dn turns around and gives me a quick intense look before returning his eyes back to the girl before him.
The look was a simple question.
What is she doing at your house?
” Iris, you’ve-” he wasn’t able to finish when the youngdy jumped on him and wrapped her entire limbs around him for a grip.
” Oh my God. I can’t believe it’s you” she whispered before she buried her face in his neck.
Heughed at her behavior but wrapped his arms around her and kissed her temple.
” I can’t believe it’s you either. I mean what are you doing here?” He quietly murmured thest question to her but I still caught the wave.
” I live here” she chirpily replied and wiggled out of his hold.
” You what?” Hmm… He wasn’t finding this amusing.
” Mr McConnell gave me the amodation” she continues.
” He what?” Dn asked again.
” Everyone seems okay with it” she shrugged like she’s living under the same roof with her best friend.
” They what!?” Then Dn whipped around to re at me.
” Call my dad. I was against it” I raised my arms in surrender.
Iris pulled Dn down to her mouth level and whispered something into his ear but I heard nothing.
Then he and Iris beganughing.
When I call him the betraying cousin, you should know I have reasons.
” Where’s my cupcake?” Dn asks referring to Iris and that little act just reminded me of my mom.
Speaking of which, I haven’t heard from her in a while.
” I’m gonna go get her from school myself, she had a presentation at school today so they’ll close in a few minutes” she smiled cheekily at him.
” Presentation? Weren’t you supposed to be there?” He asks as he smooths down her hair with a look of admiration in his eyes.
” Nah. It’s just intra ss, not a parent invite thing” she shrugged a shoulder and smiled again.
Dn somewhat found her words amusing as he chuckled once more.
” Well you better go bring her in, I miss her” he States and gives Iris a lightsting kiss in her left cheek.
” Will do” she was still smiling and bolted down the hallway without even acknowledging my presence.
But that isn’t what I have in mind.
Dn and Iris?
Hmmm…
