Chapter Seventeen

Alphaholes Chat

Booker: You guys, did Tay mention his plans for the weekend?

Silas: You're away working, that's his plans. What am I missing?

Jupiter: Something evidently by the cryptic question if Tay is not working. Get with the program, Silas.

Silas: If you are chatting on here I'd say you've lost your program!

Booker: Give over you pair. Tay isn't working unless you figure him getting naked and working Hollis into the mattress or any flat surface he can find as work?

Kari: Wow… have I missed a conversation or something? I thought he was still batting zero with Hollis?

Kodi: Yeah. That is not what's going down right now. You could have knocked me over with a fucking feather the way Hollis announced in front of everyone our bro was gonna help him through his heat! And we weren't the only shocked ones, his team were none the wiser by the way they went silent after Hollis and Tay left.

Rue: I wasn't that surprised!

Laken: I'm not surprised either. Those two have been circling each other for years. It's about time they did something about it. Although the timing leaves a lot to be desired. At least there is an upside… Tay will stop nagging us for information about Hollis, hopefully!

Silas: Laken's right, the timing fucking sucks. How is this going to affect the business? It's gonna, I'm telling you. That damn casting vote if it's needed will be… fuck knows, but something is gonna have to be said!

Laken: Silas, you are saying something. Have you forgotten Tay can see your concerns in black and fucking white? What about Tay's happiness, shouldn't that come first? You want him happy, right?

Silas: Of course I do! He's my brother, was there to save my fucking ass when it counted. It's just… fuck with all these recent changes, we haven't had time to adapt. Then we have the damn press conference next week. I'd hate for them to target Tay if anyone got wind of Hollis's new role in the company and that Tay, and he were getting down and dirty.

Booker: Is that what's playing on your mind? The press conference to announce you're the new head of Starling Enterprises?

Silas: Yeah… I suppose… fuck! And let's not confuse the issue, I'm not the head of the company and neither do I want to be. Replacing Dad as the face, I fucking don't want that either because…

Kodi: We got you covered, you don't need to say it. Fuck those divergent haters!

Kari: Exactly that! And we have your back, big bro. We're all gonna be there showing a unified front. Let the haters hate and stick their crazy ideas where the sun don't fucking shine. It won't stop us from loving and supporting each other. Never has.

Kodi: Well put, little bro.

Kari: There's fucking three minutes between us and do I need to remind you I'm three inches taller than you.

Jupiter: Boy's behave. You Alphaholes have gotten nothing to worry about, they'll all be looking at me.

Silas: Dickwad!

Jupiter: Made you laugh though, didn't I? We all got you covered. So, what's this about Tay? Come on, dish all the deets.

Booker: What deets, you perv! They're in the hotel room as we type doing… whatever!

Jupiter: You jealous?

Booker: Fuck you and with that good night!

Jupiter: Booker, sometimes I worry about you. Where's your fun side?

Silas: Behave, Jup. We aren't all like you, who have to be the center of attention, despite what attention you get!
