Dion's pov

I meet Ira in his favourite indian restaurant.

"You were nursing him?" He asks me.

"Yes, I was. But it was clear he didn't feel comfortable around me.

And then he told me to leave. I wanted to stay over tonight in his guest room but, ... he clearly did not want me there.

It's fine." I shrug.

"I wanted to talk about Orson but I think it wouldn't be good right now."

"No. Talk about him. I don't care, I'm good."

I'm not. What am I doing wrong? I really don't get it.

What did I do?

"Okay. So, after you left the club. We just talked and then danced.

I literally passed out because it was late and he then woke me up.

Like it was ... embarrassing but also cute that he cared.

And then I drove him home. We met the other day for a coffee.

He is the cutest human being I've met.

I thought he is acting it for customers but he's like it in real life too.

So sweet and polite. Yeah."

"You are going out with him?"

"We are just friends but , I like him. He's so special." Ira smiles, "I think I was seeing the wrong type of people this whole time."

"Good for you two. Must be nice." I smile.

"Hm. And how is your business?"

"Well, not as good. I lost a lot of potential partners and since the police is still breathing down my neck, we need to pay it safe.

I'm hoping to regain some in the future."

"I saw you in the news. You have money to children hospital."

"Yes. I did " I nod.

"That's a nice gesture."

"Hm, people don't care about nice gestures. If they want to hate you, they will."

If they want to ignore you, they will.

"Did your mom text?"

"Yes. I just said we are not going to her stupid party.

We don't have company."

"Oh, i was thinking about inviting Orson." Ira bites his tongue.

"Oh. It's tomorrow."

"I know. But you are right. It will be calmer not to go there.

Sure. We will skip and go to th next one." He nods.

He wanted to go with Orson. Of course he did.

"So, Caspian didn't text you?"

"No."

"He's probably still sick." He smiles, "you should buy him some more flowers "

"Why?"

Ira looks at me. "Well ... so he knows you care "

"He knows I care." He just doesn't see it as important.

"You can never have enough flowers. Or jewelry.

Everyone loves that."

"He doesn't even text me back, Ira. I will not go buy him jewelry." I scrunch my nose.

"Ask Asa. He will help you."

"I don't need help. I know what it means.

I'm just gonna ignore it."
