Christian

“You’re here early.” Christian chuckled at Beau. He had no idea that he would take his job that seriously, but still, Beau had shown up early in the morning.

“Yes, I wanted to make a good impression.” Beau joked. Christian grew a smile on his face at his changed behavior as his mind traveled back to their first meeting.

It was years ago when the two were still teens. Vince had introduced Beau to Christian, and he felt uncomfortable just by looking at him. It was the first time Christian was grateful for Marc and his over- the-top presence. He isn’t always like this. He talks a lot when it’s just the two of us, Vince used to defend him, and he turned out to be correct.

Beau did what he was supposed to do and stopped Vince from making stupid decisions. He didn’t only work for besides him but was also his best friend.

“Where’s your sister? Why is she not here yet?” Christian asked. He came up with a plan to deal with Dario’s mess and invited Marc, Beau and Serena over to discuss it. “Have you ever seen Serena get up early?” Beau commented.

“No.” Christian sighed. “She can sleep for hours. That was a stupid question.”

It used to be one of her many traits which he disliked, but he didn’t care anymore. He was just happy to know that Serena and Siena would be moving back home, and that was all he wanted. He didn’t care about Serena not waking up until noon, having to take care of Siena so she could rest, or cleaning up all of the dirt she left around the house. He missed it, he missed all of it.

“Who are those people?” Beau pointed out as his attention shifted to the men who were carrying boxes. “Serena had a request,” Christian explained. He was willing to do anything for Serena, even if that meant sending people over in the early morning to renovate the bedroom. “Demanding, sounds like her.” Beau shrugged.

“I appreciate you being here early, but shouldn’t you be with Isobel?” Christian wondered. He would’ve done anything to turn back the time, so he could be there for Serena throughout her entire pregnancy. “I need some space. She can be a bit demanding at times” Beau complained. “And Luis doesn’t have school today, so he can keep her company and listen to her nagging.”

“Demanding, sounds like her.” Christian mocked Beau’s words. “How is Luis doing?” Christian wondered. He still felt guilty and didn’t want to face Luis. He could’ve saved Vince from the start but he chose to protect his brother and he couldn’t get over that decision. “Luis is doing fine, but you need to visit him more often.” Beau encouraged him. “He misses you.”

“I’m sure he does, I’ll give you a quick house tour.” Christian changed the subject.

Christian led Beau around the house and explained to him what his job would be. “That’s simple, stick by me and make sure I don’t do anything stupid, that’s what I’m known for.” Christian told him as they ended the tour and made his way to the office.

“We’ll get through more important stuff like the Lamberti warehouse some other time.”

“There is one more thing.” Christian spoke as he made eye contact with Beau. It was a straightforward request, but it was necessary. “Whenever you’re working, please keep in mind that you’re not here as Serena’s brother but as my friend.”

“So we’re friends now?” Beau laughed. “I’m serious. You have to promise me.” Christian spoke as he pulled out a contract. “My priority is to protect Serena, and she doesn’t have to know everything.” Christian explained.
