Bound To Be Chapter 14
Advertisement
We stopped in front of a huge mansion. It was 10x bigger than Ann's.
"This is my Uncle's house, my mom's brother."
"He's rich." It wasn't a question but a mere observation.
"Oh yeah. Definitely."
More rich people. Jeesh.
Abraham got out of the car and came to my side. He opened the door and held his hand out for me.
"So what kind of event is this?" I asked.
"My Uncle said it's just a very big get together with all these business associates socializing about one another's businesses."
Interesting.
"Boring. I know." Oh boring to him then.
When we started walking to the entrance I started thinking that maybe Abraham doesn't want to be a big business guy like the rest of his family. He still hasn't told me what he truly wants to be. Maybe he's not confident in what he wants to be.
When we walked inside the huge doors. We were escorted to a huge ballroom type room.
Abraham put his hand on my waist and we started walking.
"Abraham! My boy! Good to see you." Abraham turned around and smiled. He gave this guy a big manly pat on the back.
"Uncle Jerry! How are you?" Uncle Jerry had a huge mustache and grey head of hair which was combed over. He was very handsome for his age.
"I'm happy now because you made it." He turned towards me. "Oh. Who is this young lady?"
"This is Alicia, my beautiful girlfriend." I blushed at his compliment.
"Son, she is easy on the eye."
Awkward.
Abraham started laughing when I widened my eyes at his uncle's flirtatiousness.
"I feel I have made this very awkward. I should see you around. Socializing." He gave a pointed look at Abraham.
Abraham just nodded.
I feel as though Abraham doesn't quite want to be here. As though he was forced to come.
Abraham grabbed my hand and we sat at a table where there were couples of middle aged men socializing.
When we sat everyone looked at us.
Another awkward moment.
They started talking again. But the man next to Abraham started to make conversation with him.

"I have never seen you at one of these events, Son."
"My name is Abraham Jenkins."
Jenkins? How did I not know this?
Well I know Ann's last name is Jenkins but I didn't think Abraham's would be that too. He probably took it after Ann adopted him.
"Oh you are part of the Jenkins family then."
"Yes Sir."
"Please call me Ian. I'm Ian Campbell. So you come from a very powerful set of genes."
How powerful?
"So Joe is your..."
"Uncle."
"Interesting."
They went off on some business talk that bored me quickly.
I mean half of these people act fake why would someone want to incorporate themselves with them.
Money.
Money changes everyone.
I looked at Abraham and noticed he wasn't himself when he talked to this guy. He put a facade on.
This isn't him and I know he knows this isn't him whatsoever.
Why does he want to follow his family's footsteps?
After about an hour of "socializing" Abraham was over it so we said our goodbyes and left.
When we got in the car Abraham ran his hand through his hair.
"Why?" He looked at me confused.
"What?"
"Why?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you come here?" I was pushing.
"I was invited."
"You know exactly what I mean. Why did you come if you don't like it?"
He started the car and drove out of the long driveway.
"It gives me a good name."
"But you obviously didn't want to be there so why do you go?"
(Play Song)
"It's difficult Alicia."
"Explain it to me." He looked at me and shook his head.
"You love to listen don't you?" I nodded. "I don't know. I guess my Uncle has always been that fatherly figure to me, he encouraged me to follow him. I am the only male in the family that can take over his business. He only has daughters and the rest of my male cousins are too immature or young for his liking. So I am runner up."
"He wants you to run his business?"

"He's mentioned it but has never been serious about it. I don't want to be involved with business. I'm still not sure what I want to do. The only reason I go is because I feel as though I am expected to."
"You know I think if you tell your Uncle you are not interested he'd understand."
"I guess I am always nervous to tell him the truth. He sees so much potential in me."
"I could tell you didn't like being there so how are you going to feel when you are running this huge business miserably."
He just stayed quite.
He then slammed his hand on the steering wheel. "I can't do this anymore! I am not my built for this!"
He quickly steered the wheel so we exited off PCH.
"I need to let out all these emotions." He said eagerly.
He went down a hill where there was a beach.
It was nighttime so no one was there.
He parked and leaned toward me and grabbed my face. He roughly kissed my lips.
"Come off with me." I nodded.
He opened his door and took off his shoes and socks. I followed and took off my heels. He rolled up his pants and went towards the front of his car. He held out his hand for me to take.
I grabbed his hand and he started running towards the water.
I started laughing at his madness.
"I JUST WANT TO BE FREE!" He yelled.
"You deserve to be."
He held up his hands in fists and yelled. He was letting everything out. He even ended up on the sand on his knees
"This. Feels. So. Good." He said then he looked up at me.
He quickly got up and kissed me again. "Thank you." He said against my lips.
"You need to be free."
He kissed me again.
"Will you do something crazy with me?"
"Anything."
"Let's get in the water."
"It's freezing."
"That's the crazy part."
"Okay." He took off his jacket followed by his shirt and tie. He had nothing on except his briefs.
I followed him and took off my dress. I only had my bra and panties on. The good ones.
He grabbed my hand and we ran in the water.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed going in. We ended up under a wave and swam up for breathe.
"Wwwooooooooooo!" Abraham yelled to the open ocean.
"You're crazy!" I said laughing.
"What was that?"
"You're CRAZY!"
"I can't hear you!"
"YOU'RE CRAZY!" He put his hands under my arms and held me up.
"WE'RE CRAZY BABY!" He pulled me in for a kiss. We kissed because we are crazy for one another.
"What would I do without you?" He kissed my nose, eyes, forehead and finally mouth.
We then heard,"HEY! YOU GUYS CAN'T BE IN THE WATER AFTER HOURS!" A guard screamed at us.
"We got to go." Abraham said full of adrenaline.
We quickly ran towards shore and grabbed our clothes before the guard could catch us.
Abraham grabbed my hand and we ran to his car soaking wet.
When we got to his car he threw me his dress shirt to put on. I rung out my hair and put the shirt on quickly before we got caught.
Abraham started the car and I jumped in. He quickly reversed and we were on the road again.
"That was crazy!" I said out of breath from the running and adrenaline.
"That was FUN!" Abraham corrected.
"Super fun." I said smiling.
"I've never been this free till you came in my life Alicia." He said looking at me smiling. "We were bound to be."
"Bound to be." I said agreeing.
"Alicia say it louder."
"Are you serious? People are going to think I am crazy."
"Say it.....Say it...."
"Okay!" Here I go. "ABRAHAM JENKINS AND I ARE BOUND TO BE!"
We stopped at a light and Abraham looked at me with the biggest smile on his face.
"You are fucking amazing." He said before he kissed me passionately.
