Fernando lays out all the clothes and decides on putting them away later when they return from the club, he then proceeded to change into the black blazer, with the white shirt, and gray chinos, he then looks at the black sneakers he just got and thinks to himself.
"I should have gotten shoes for going out. Oh well, I guess those black sneakers will have to do for now."
after he finishes putting on his clubbing outfit, he makes his way to the living room, to wait for the girls, Jennifer who was already sitting down, dressed in a pink night dress, watching the television, asks him to sit next to her.
"Nando, come here, my son."
he sits next to her and asks.
"Need something?"
she puts her arm around him and pulls his head into her chest, and says,
"I want you to be careful, and remember that you don't need to drink yourself stupid to have fun."
he pulls away and replies with a sigh.
"Don't worry, I won't be drinking too much since I'll
be making sure my sisters are safe."
she kisses him on the cheek and says, with her breath smelling like she has been drinking wine.
"Relax, Mister worrywart, today is all about you having fun, and so don't let keeping your sisters safe prevent you from enjoying yourself."
he chuckles.
"At least you agree with me on keeping them safe."
she sighs.
"Of course, but that also includes you, we just had you return to us today, I don't want anything to happen that will cause you not to return back home."
Fernando takes a couple of deep breaths before saying.
"mom, I already know that I'm not your son."
she gasps.
"How'd you find out? did Brandon finally tell you?"
he shakes his head.
"No, Vicky told me."
he thinks to himself.
"I can't let anyone know that I found out while I was in prison."
She hugs him and starts sobbing.
"I'm sorry, you weren't supposed to find out that way,, Brandon wanted to be the one to tell you that we took you in."
he pats her back.
"If it makes you feel better, Brandon is not aware that I know."
she sighs in relief.
"Good, we'll keep it that way until he tells you."
she tightens up her hug.
"I know I wasn't a good mother when you were growing up, every child needs a mother and I failed, but I hope you can forgive me and we can properly be a mom and son."
he replies.
"Sure, I'm not against it."
she let's go when the voices and footsteps of the girls can be heard coming downstairs. She then smiles at him.
"Remember, have fun. You deserve it."
Christina shouts.
"Come on, Fernando, let's get going!"
he kissed his mom on the cheek and said.
"Okay, see you later."
he goes to meet with his sisters and is left completely captivated by their beauty, Christina who curled her long black hair, hoop earings and is wearing a black criss cross cut out backless short dress, with black high heels, Madison is wearing a blue sleeveless zipper dress, with blue high heels, while Victoria is wearing a white long sleeve tube top, black short shorts, and white sneakers, he then said with a smile.
"it's going to be hard keeping guys off from the three of you."
Vicky does a sexy pose and says with a wink.
"Tonight we are all yours."
she then grabs his hand and pulls him out of the house.
"Come on, girl's, let's show him the fun he has been missing."
they leave the house and enter Christina's car, where Victoria takes the backseat with Fernando again, making Christina visibly displeased, but Vicky sticks her tongue out at her and then focuses on Fernando.
"hey, if you do see that bitch Denise, with that asshole Paul, remember we are going to be there to help you have a good time."
Madison agrees.
"Yeah, just focus on the three beauties who will be accompanying you."
Christina said.
"Look, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but she missed you dearly."
Vicky hisses.
"who cares what that bitch felt!"
she ignores Vicky and continues.
"believe it or not, when she heard you were in prison, she would constantly ask me on how you were doing, even though I already told her, that you wouldn't see us when we would come to visit you."
Fernando replies.
"yup she really showed how much she cared about me, when she cheated on me."
unable to defend her friend's actions, Christina sighs.
"All I'm saying is that she is still my friend, and I'm just hoping that the two of you get along and to not start drama."
Maddy shakes her head.
"Way to kill the mood."
Vicky grabs his hand to comfort him and leans over to him.
"Like I said, just focus on us."
he thinks to himself.
"I get that they are trying to make things up to me, but it is rather strange that they are being overly affectionate."
they park near Graymoon Club and start walking around the corner of the block where the line to enter is noticeably long, Fernando sighs defeated.
"I guess we can come come back when there is less line."
Christina laughs,
"Silly Nando, we aren't going to wait in line."
she grabs his hand and starts leading him and her sisters straight to the club entrance, where he asks.
"What are you doing? they are not going to let us in."
she smiles.
"Nothing to worry about."
whilw the faint sound of music blaring through the club doors, they approach one of the bouncers, a big bald African American man, wearing a complete black suit, and she said with a flirtatious smile at him.
"Hey there, Mark, how have you been?
he smiles back but immediately frowns upon seeing her holding Fernando's hand and asks.
"boyfriend?"
she giggles while placing her hand on Mark's chest.
"Don't be silly, this is my brother. He was away for six years, and he finally came back home today."
he smiles again and shakes Fernando's hand.
"Haha, I didn't know that you had brother."
he then motions them inside.
"Well, go on ahead, and have a good time."
as they enter, they can hear the people in the front of the line complaining, Fernando thinks to himself.
"Wow, I was not expecting them to let us in before the people who were in front of the line."
upon entering the deafning sound of dance music, and the crowds of people cheering talking engulfs Fernando, making him feel a bit overwhelmed by the atmosphere, Vicky notices that Fernando expression is like a deer stuck in the headlights, she grabs his hand to comfort him and said to his ear loudly so that he can hear her over the loud music.
"You are okay. Nothing bad is going to happen."
Christina signals them to follow her while she shouts.
"Let's find a table and start the night with some shots!"
they slip past the many groups of people who are socializing, drinking, and dancing, and find a table on the second floor, where Christina tells Madison.
"Maddy, come with me, so we can bring some drinks for us."
Christina speaks into Fernando's ear.
"You stay here with Vicky. We'll be back with some shots!"
Vicky takes a seat next to Fernando and asks.
"What do you think so far!?"
Fernando responds.
"To be honest, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed!"
he looks around to see if a spots any known associates to the crime families, while Vicky said.
"Once you have some drinks in you, that feeling will pass over!"
he stands up and looks over the railing, to get a proper view from above, he then scans the dance floor, he then spots a man with a comb over in the V.I.P section, sitting down with his arms around two gorgeous women, and two obviously armed body guards, he thinks to himself.
"seems like someone important, I won't be able to get close, but I'll keep an eye out for him."
he looks over the bar area, and sees Christina and Madison standing by two familiar people, a blonde woman with long hair, wearing a silver sleveless dress, and a man with the fohawk black hair, wearing a white long sleeve button up shirt. with a maroon vest, black dress pants, and black dress shoes, he shakes his head, feeling an old wound open up.
"Even though I knew Paul and Denise were going to be here, it is still painful seeing them together."
Vicky notices Fernando's pained expression and looks over to where he is looking and sees Paul and Denise. She then hugs from behind and says,
"Nando, turn around and look at me!"
he listens to her. She then puts both her hands on his cheeks and says,
"I wanted to do this once I had a few drinks in me, but it looks like I've got no choice but to put my pla into action!"
he asks.
"Vicky, what-."
she pulls his face towards her and plants a kiss on his lips, catching him completely off guard. He stammers to himself.
"what the fuck, is she really kissing me?"
simce she doesn't let go, Fernando gives in and instinctively puts his hands on her waist, returning the kiss, but he takes it a bit further by using his tongue, her eyes grow wide open with surprise, but instead of pulling away she matches his energy and begins to tongue wrestle Fernando, she then pulls away and asks while seductively biting on her lower lips.
"did that help!?"
he can't help but smile.
"I appreciate it, but what was that for?!"
she winks at him.
"I'll explain later."
a minute later, Christina and Madison show up looking a bit apprehensive, Fernando looks behind them and see Denise and Paul, he sighs.
"I guess, there is no point in avoiding them now."
Paul comes up to Fernando and looks up.
"holy shit man, did you go through a growth spurt while you were in prison?!"
he then playfully smacks his arm.
"I mean look at you, you are built like a linebacker!!
Denise looks at Fernando with her blue eyes, and waves while smiling awkwardly, he rolls his eyes and asks Christina.
"did you get our drinks!?"
she nods and hands out shot glasses to the group, and said a toast.
"this for my brother Nando, for finally having freedom after six years."
they all take the shot at the same time, Fernando takes deep breath after feeling the sting in the back of his throat, Vicky then grabs Fernando's hand.
"come on and dance with your sister!"
Paul stops them.
"hold up, I want a word with Fernando first!"
Fernando goes off to the side with Paul, and asks.
"what's up?!"
he asks.
"we good!?"
Fernando replies.
"yeah it's all in the past now!"
Paul responds.
"ah okay, that's good!"
Fernando then said.
"now if that is all that you needed from then, I'll be off to dance with my sister!"
Paul shakes his head.
"hold on, now before you say no, here me out!"
Fernando stares silently as to tell to continue.
"look Denise wanted me to help you with a job at my family's restaurant, once you got out of prison, and I agreed to it!"
without thinking about it twice, Fernando.
"thank you and yes I'll take any help I can get!"
he continues.
"but you'll need to tell Denise to contact Christina since I don't have a phone.
he replies
"alright I'll make sure to do that!"
he goes to tell Denise, and returns back to Fernando.
"well then with that out of the way, let's go have some fun!"
Fernando returns to Vicky and they begin dancing, but since he has never done anything remotely close to partying, he winded up being made fun of by his sisters as they laugh with enjoyment when they took turns dancing with him, and for the rest of the night they spent their time downing more drinks and enjoying themselves on the dance floor, Fernando would occasionally look at the V.I.P section, only to see the guy just sitting there just enjoying the company of the two women beside him, Paul noticed Fernando staring and said.
"careful with that guy, he's mixed up with some real nasty people."
after a few hours pass, Christina said drunkenly to Fernando, Madison and Victoria.
"alright, it's time to go home!"
they say their goodbyes to Paul and Denise, but when Fernando said goodbye to her, it seemed like she wanted to say more but held herself back,
they leave the club and take as they take a cab back home, Fernando thinks to himself.
"didn't have much luck with scouting, but if I work in the restaurant that Paul's family owns, then I can gather more information on the Carusos."
Fernando feels the drinks hitting heavily and closes his eyes to nap.
