Dominic
It's been three days now since Shane gave me his conditions in order to keep his mouth shut and I still haven't been able to figure out who told him about my secret relationship.
I haven't even bothered to tell Vanessa about it just yet. It's not like she can help me. I've decided to handle this on my own and for now, since I've accomplished nothing in the past few days, I'm only left with one choice. It's also the same thing Frank keeps saying to me as we have a drink right now.
"I really don't see any other way out of this for now," he says to me, placing his hand on my shoulder. "The best thing you can do is shut him up for now by giving him what he wants."
"That's the problem. If I do that, he'll just be winning."
"Nope! He's not winning anything. He's showing you just how desperate he is to make money. What sort of victory is that?"
"You might be right about that, but still. The fact that I have to face him and hand him the cash is already getting on my nerves."
He smirks, patting me on the back. "You know what? Do it with a straight face. Shane has never been able to beat you at anything and he obviously wants to take pleasure in seeing you so helpless, but don't give in."
I sit up more, my lips curving into a smile. "You know what? For an asshole, you definitely give great advice sometimes."
He proudly nods. "And that's why you and I are best friends! Cheers!"
After a few drinks, I feel a little tipsy and I head out to meet Shane at the same park.
As I make my way there with the 50, 000 dollars in an envelope, he keeps texting me, as if ordering me around and it all just makes me clench my jaw that he's doing this. I obviously won't let him win by showing him that I still don't know what to do, but it's still annoying seeing him act all bossy.
After I step out of the car, I approach him by the bench where he's alone, holding his head high with a smirk as he looks over at me. He rises to his feet, rubbing his hands together.
"You finally made it. What the fuck took you so long?" His tone is condescending.
Keeping my composure, I drop the envelope at his feet and say, "There's your money. Now, pick it up."
He pokes his cheek. "Did you seriously just do that?"
"You wanted your money and it's right at your feet, so pick it up because no one else is going to do it for you. Go on."
His smug expression fades as he crouches down and picks up the money.
"There you go." I smirk, looking down at him.
As he rises to his feet, he looks up at me with so much hatred but that just makes me fix my necktie.
With a sigh of satisfaction, I say, "I have so much work to do, so I'm leaving now. See you next month."
It takes him a moment to speak and even if he had something to say, I wouldn't stand here and listen. I've already given him too much of my time.
The further I walk away from him, the more I expect him to say something, but he doesn't and that makes me hold my head high with a chuckle.
It shouldn't take me that long to figure something out. The only reason I would want to do this again is just to see him pick up the money from the ground.
Though I have that sorted for now, something else has been on my mind since I left Carmella's apartment and it makes me so mad that I might drink until I forget about it.
