Your Dad's Perfect (Ruby) novel Chapter 36

She stops the car, and I see Alaric's.

"He just can't keep away." She grins at me.

"Behave." Getting out, I walk to his car and see him.

"How do I get into his little party? The guys on the door won't let me in because I'm a parent."

"You won't; some of the people will be doing drugs, Alaric, so they won't let anyone in who they see as may cause an issue." I know what he means. "I will go and ask him to come out."

"No, I can't get you involved." His head shakes.

"Alaric, I'm involved, and I will get in no problem."

"Fine, get Bex to follow. If Jake comes out, he will be in the car with me." I nod and wave at Bex, and she nods, knowing what I mean. Sitting in the car with him, he stays quiet.

"They wouldn't even pass on a fucking message."

"Because the place is locked down. It's private, and only certain people can enter, or a lot of cash." He stops the car and follows me to the door.

"Ruby, you know the rules."

"He's waiting out here. I'll speak to Jake." The guys nod and move out of the way. Walking through the building, I ignore the games room. He won't be in there. I walk past the dance room and into the lounge with the dancers.

I look across the room, seeing Jake with a woman dancing ahead of him while stripping. Walking over, he looks at me and then back to her.

"Jake, your dad wants you."

"My dad?" He laughs and stares at me. "My dad..."

"Jake, come on."

"Come on, what, Ruby? Why are you with him again?"

"Because they wouldn't pass on the message or let him in. So he came to mine to ask me to get you."

He laughs and nods. "Ironic."

"Jake, your dad is worried for you."

Standing, he laughs. "He didn't look worried in the videos."

What? I stared at him confused. "Why were you in that place tonight? Why was my dad there?"

"It's his business."

"Bullshit! You fucked him!" People turn and look at us.

"Jake, you can't just assume that. It is his business, and that's why he is here trying to talk to you."

"Don't lie! I saw the videos, Ruby! I went by yours and pushed past Ivy. I knew you were lying, so I got your phone and figured out the password to the locked videos."

Shit. "Jake."

"No! You fucked my dad!" Everyone turns and stares. "You're the reason he cut me off. Those few days we went to visit, it was then. So what, he fucks you, and you get my money."

"Jake, stop. You have it wrong." My words are quiet, and everyone is watching.
