can wait for now. I have time to catch up with an old friend.” After what seemed like a torturous eternity, she agreed, and said yes.
     

Chapter Six
     
     
    Jed was on cloud nine at the moment. He had managed to soften her up enough to agree to go on a date. “Damn, she is truly beautiful.” Yet it wasn’t her looks that had his heart beating double time. It was more the fact that she knows him. The real him, not the person that was made up by this agent. She loved Jed Diaz before he became a sex symbol. That made him happy.
     
    When he arrived home, Sergio was there waiting. He didn’t seem happy at all. "What the fuck did you do to mom? When I got home she was eating and her eyes were red and puffy. I asked dad and he said not to worry. That it was a problem between you and her."
     
    Jed ran a hand down his face, "She cried? Damn, I didn't want that. She was trying to pawn my woman off to your brother. She's mine," That only made Sergio smile and an idea hit Jed like a ton of bricks.
     
    "Sergio, you have to do me a big favor. I need to keep Mom off my back until I can land my woman. I need you to hit on Rose. If mom thinks there is another potential match, she will get off my back and concentrate on you."

Sergio’s face register disbelief, then something else Jed couldn’t place. He worried he would need to sell his soul to the devil in order to get his brother to go in on his plan. "OK," he answered a little too quickly and walked away. What the hell was that all about? Damn, he had no time to investigate right now.
     
    Jed needed to get ready for a date. He wanted to look good, but not too good. He didn’t want Reina to thinking him easy. What the hell was wrong with him? Jed started to laugh, Reina had him in knots. On his way to the bedroom, Grady walked into the hall. "Damn, was that you I just heard laughing like a mad man?" He asked.
     
    "The one and only Bro, I was just thinking about how easy I am." Grady joined in the laughter and Jed asked where everyone else was.
     
    "Last I heard Victor was still at his meeting with the Chicago Fire and Rodger is MIA. Not sure, he has yet to call in. They’re all big boys now and will be fine," Grady says making Jed go over to put his hand on Grady’s forehead. This was so unlike him.
     
    "Are you feeling sick? Mr. we have to be on our best behavior or they will send us away." Jed teased but only made anger flash in his eyes. "Chill Bro. I know all about the feeling of panic. Thinking that we might have been sent away. I never did thank you for all you did for us. Back then and always." Jed hugged Grady until he pushed away.

"That chick must really have you in a twist. Making you all emotional and stuff.” Jed shot Grady a confused look. “Are you kidding me? Did you really think mom hadn’t already threatened to kill us if we don't stay away from four eyes Reina?" Jed shot him a glare, it was so not cool to call his woman four eyes.
     
    "I thought so, you used to defend her the same way when we were kids. Made me wonder why you would be mean to her too. You were the classic stereotype. Young boy likes girl, so he hits her to let her know." Grady said and started to laugh again.
     
    "I also knew about all those little sneaking around meetings you would have with her. Did you think we didn’t realize that she was always sitting under the tree in the back yard and you would always go and sit next to her? Then you would, not so smoothly put your arm over her shoulder and she would lean and cuddle into you? We were really surprised when you just backed away," Grady said with a questioning look in his eyes.
     
    Jed had to look away before speaking. "She would have left me too, Grady. Just like my mom did. Everything I love was always leaving me and I was getting too close to her," Jed whispered and Grady pulled him into a hug.
     
    "You're a man now; don't play around with her if you're not ready. Don't start what you can't finish," He warned.

"No
