Chapter 3 - Handsome Self
I watch the cute brunette at the bar table stare at me, her eyes wide.
It's like she's never seen a man before.
She reminded me of a doe that I once met on a hunting trip.
So innocent, so peaceful.
It's a shame that I swore myself off of sleeping around.
She seems like the kind of girl I'd go for.
She's probably the kind who would whimper softly, buried underneath the sick àsshole who thinks that he's worthy of her when he isn't.
No one is worthy of an innocent girl like that.
I'm not my father, I don't need the weakness of relieving myself inside an unknown woman. Who knows how many illegitimate brothers and sisters I have out there?
But if she came up and asked me to sleep with her? I'd have a hard time refusing a girl like that.
Elliot returned, holding my bottle of champagne.
Elliot Smith
Did she grab your fancy?
Roma Castona
Fûck off, El.
El is the only person I trust completely in my family. We grew up together, close like brothers.
Elliot Smith
Don't use such vulgar language. This is a respectable establishment.
Roma Castona
I own the place, so I can fûcking curse when I so darn well please.
Seeing El talk to the cute brunette annoyed me.
I don't have Elliot's natural charm towards woman.
Not that I need to talk to a woman with charm. It creates unnecessary problems.
Elliot Smith
Do you want to talk to her?
Roma Castona
Why would I do that?
I saw the way she crossed her legs when she saw me staring at her.
I wonder if she got wet when she saw me staring into her eyes.
Crap, now I'm thinking about what colour underwear she has on.
I heard the cork from the champagne pop, and I saw my cute little brunette stiffen.
Scared of something as small as a cork popping off of a bottle?
Elliot Smith
You're staring at her again.
I snarled, turning my head towards the man who was reaching my last nerve tonight.
Roma Castona
If you want to fûck her so bad, why don't you charm her like you do with the rest? I don't care.
Elliot Smith
I know when you lie, Roma.
Elliot Smith
I'm going to invite her over.
Elliot Smith
I'm going to invite her over for a glass of champagne.
Roma Castona
And why would you do that?
Elliot Smith
Because if you want to burn a hole in the back of her head, it would be easier if she was sitting in front of you.
He's tempting me, I know he is.
He's been insisting that I try dating a woman. Imagine that and how insufferable that must be.
It's always "for the sake of the family".
Elliot Smith
I'm not asking you to marry her, Roma. I'm asking you to have a conversation with her.
99% of women are nothing more than gold-diggers.
I bet that cute brunette took a look at me and saw money, money, money.
They all do. She's no different than the rest.
Roma Castona
If you dare invite her over here, don't expect me to stay.
Elliot Smith
But you will stay here. I've got your keys, remember?
Roma Castona
I'll have a car fetched for me.
Elliot Smith
Without your phone and wallet?
I looked at his hands. The bàstard, when did he swipe those-
Elliot Smith
I'm not asking you to sleep with her, Roma.
Elliot Smith
She seems... interesting.
Roma Castona
"Interesting"? "Observant"?
Roma Castona
Two positive words in a single sentence? That's a record.
Elliot Smith
One drink. That's all I ask of you.
Elliot Smith
Get used to speaking to a woman, because you'll have to deal with one in the future, whether you like it or not.
I snarled, anger seething through my teeth.
Elliot Smith
When she finishes her glass, I'll give these back.
Roma Castona
Don't expecting a fûcking raise from me this year.
Elliot Smith
I wouldn't expect it either way.
When this evening ends, I'm going to kill him.
