Chapter 159: Everyone Has Friends
We spent the rest of the day ring shopping and it was fun, we spared no expense. We honestly couldn’t decide, we krww she wasnt into jewelry but we wanted her to have a beautiful ring. By the time it was evening, we settled en a Neil bridal chamond we saw at the local jeweler.
“Do you think it is too flashy Justin asked when we get into the car. I sighed and made a mental note of never going jewelry shopping with him again. He was very indecisive, which sumptised me,
“I think it is perfect,” I said as cod as I could.
He went quiet and part of me felt like the discussons won over. We done in silence, with cely the set sends of the radio filing the car for almost twenty minutes
“I know I am not to shop with, that is why we a prisonal stylist and shopper. When I get to regular places, it overwhelms me.” He said, breaking the silence and his knees was bobbing sei and down with nerves. I placed a hand on his leg to steady him and he visibly relaxed. I felt bad for feeling annoyed.
“It is okay, baby boy. We probably could have brought a jeweler to the house if we weren’t mushing.” I said to him as we pulled up to the gate and reached to hit the button to open the gate but it was already open.
My brow furrowed because the gate closed automatically and it didnt look like there was a reason for it to open. He immediately sat up straight. My mind drifted back to the accident a few months ago and how it made so much sense for him not to have a bodyguard since he was so capable of keeping himself safe. He said he had trained with Matt occasionally but I think he was downplaying just how good he really was.
“Stay out here,” he said, opening the door.
“Don’t pull into the driveway, if I am not hack in a minute or send you a text, call Matt immediately.” He said and I nodded.
I wasn’t going to argue with him, he leaned over and gave me a quick kiss, probably treasure me because he looked eerily calm. He closed the door of the car silently and made his way to the side of the gate just outside the entrance. He pushed on one of the bricks and it opened, making me sit up. What the hell!
He pulled out a gun and checked the clip before sliding it into his back waistband and disappearing inside the gate. I checked the time and started counting and when one minute passed, I dialed Matt as instructed and worried immediately filling me. He answered with one ring.
“Hey. Donald What is wrong?” He asked gruffly.
“lustin told me to call, the gate was open and he had been inside for a minute. He took a gun.” I said quickly.
- I am on my way. Any sign of an intruder?” He asked and I shook my head.
“Fuck,
“Donald, I can’t see you, I
I need a verbal response.” He barked and I heard a car door slamming and a streak of tires.
“shit, sorry. No, there is no sign of anyone.” I said, and he cursed again
” will be there in
be there in five minutes. He said and then hung up.
I sat there shaking. I felt useless but I don’t know how to fight. Justin came out a minute later after 1 hung up, looking perfectly fine. He gave me a came to the gate and gestured for me to come in. I pulled in slowly, looking around but nothing looked improper. I parked the car and got out.
*The power is out, so the giver wasn’t working” He said, rubbing the back of his neck.
*1 never got a generation.” He added and relief swept over me. I think we both expected the worst with the bad luck we have had in the past.
“That is a relief, why didn’t i new guy tell us?” I asked, he shrugged, not sevining concerned.
“He said at
happened and he was looking into it. Apparently, the whole street is out and not just us.” He replied, he pulled me into his and hugged me.
We were definately parasold since the accident and 1 held on to him right. Everything was okay, Matts overly large truck pulled into the house, he hopped down and headed towards us. He looked calm, so maybe he already knew that everything was good, justin broke our hug and waited for him to approach.
“Kelly called me on my way her and told me the situation. Jack is rerouting Amelia to a hotel for you both to meet her tonight while we get this situation fixed.” He said. Justin rel
and gave him a one hand hug in greeting.
There was something about that made me a little jealous and I wasn’t sure why Matt was always justin’s first call even before his sister and brother and it made me wonder if there has ever been anything between them. Justin said he had never been with a man physically before but that didn’t mean they didn’t have a

connection
“We have candles.” He said, and Matt snorted.
“We still have a job to do and we can’t do it if the system is down. I have a guy that can bring a generator before morning and you all can come back tomorrow. Until then, as your security, I advised you to go to the hotel.” He said with a hint of humor in his voice, and lustin rolled his eyes.
“It is not just you anymore, Justin. You have been fighting this for years and Deborah and Taylor, no partners at the company will go unprotected any longer. Two different attacks in one year is so out of the norm and I will not risk anymore. Matt said in a firmer tone.
I could tell he was serious and Justin could too. Matt was right, we all took risk being public figure millionaires without some sort of protection and now that we wanted me dildren, we needed to be more careful
“Donald, I called Emily’s school to get the layout and security and I wasn’t too pleased with it. So I sent twn of my best females to work security for her, she won’t know, they will be campus stall but with your ex turning up out of the blue, I didn’t want to risk anything, especially with the three of you going overseas.” He added, my eyebrows shot up.
I didn’t think about that honestly, I didn’t think she would hurt Emily but I am also not sure hose desperate she is to get under Amelia’s skin. Especially nine that she knows my feelings towards her.
“I appreciate that,” I said, looking at Justin who was studying me with those beautiful eyes of his. Kelly came around the house and towards us.
*1 called the power company, apparently there was a car accident that caused the power to go out. Perimeter is secure and the house is clear.” Matt nodded at his
words
The next thirty minutes, we spent packing some overnight bags. Most of our things were packed anyway so it didn’t take us too long, I sat on our bed with the small amount of light from dusk that was coming through the windows and watch festin put some toiletries in a case, shirtless with a pair of sexy as fuck jeans buzzing his ass and toned thighs.
“Would you say Matt is your best friend?” I asked, he paused mid–movement for the slightest moment that if I wasn’t studying him so closely I wouldn’t have noticed.
“Matt doesn’t have any friends.” He said with a soft chuckle and I snorted.
“Everyone had friends.” I said, shaking my head and he turned, walked towards me.
“Not Matt, he is close to some of his men but they definitely aren’t friends. He does his job, he trains and he goes home. There are no friends, no partners. He has a grandmother who cooks and cleans for him and her boyfriend, who was around to help at his house. That is it.” He said and his tone has something in it that bothered me. Was it bitterness? I know I shouldn’t but I pushed.
“Did you want to be his friend?” I asked softly and when his gaze met mine, my stomach dropped.
I shouldn’t have asked that question, I instantly felt guilty by the look on his face.
