Leo laughed, “Yeah, I’ll just have to go crawling back to Dad’s villa in Madrid and spend my days lounging on the beach and my nights fucking Martina. So do me a fuckin favor.”

Grayson laughed again. It was clear the two had probably grown up together, or at the least known each other for quite a while. But Amberleigh no longer got the vibe they were or had been lovers.

He drained off the rest of his juice, and adjusted his suit and tie. He looked down at his watch and read something from the screen.

“I’ll grab something later. I’m not really hungry now. Make sure you feed the girl when she wakes up. My car is here.”

Leo’s face turned serious, “Like fuck you will. Sit your ass back down and eat, now! You know you need the protein. So stop being such a little whiny bitch. Don’t make me call your mother.”

Grayson sighed. He looked about to argue, but instead said nothing and sat back down. He grabbed his fork and shoveled a big bite into his mouth. Leo patted him on the shoulder.

“That’s right. Eat it all up like a good boy.”

Grayson gave him the finger, and Leo laughed again. He turned and walked back across the kitchen and Amberleigh leapt back and pressed herself against the wall.
