only one to end up like a waterfall.”
    While I keep my arm around Ramon, I look around and notice there isn’t really a dry face in the room, and yeah, I’m also counting the guys.
    Everyone seems distracted enough with the gifts for the twins, except for Sylvia who keeps passing sly glances at Ramon and our arms, which are still wrapped around the other, and Sebastian who looks upset, and not because of the gifts.
    “Are you okay now? I think it’s the dirty presents now,” Ramon whispers into my ear.
    To anyone looking, we look like a couple in love. Little do they know.
    “Yeah, I’ll be fine.” I flash him a grin , which he returns knowing what I’ve bought Lily.
    I might add that he only knows because he caught me wrapping it the other night. I tried to hide it, but hiding it in the middle of the fruit bowl with yellow bananas wasn’t the wisest choice I’ve ever made, especially when the gift is florescent pink.

Chapter 6

    Snagging a beer from the fridge on the way out back, I take a long pull on the ice cold drink before resting my arms on the porch railing. I look towards the snowcapped mountains in the distance without really seeing anything other than Carla wrapped around a topless Ramon.
    What is happening today? First she looks ready to come apart at the seams with just my touch in the pantry and next she’s all over my damn brother.
    Today is the first time I’ve seen anything more than a peck on the cheek exchanged between them and I don’t like it. In fact, I hate it. Way to go Seb. Falling for your brother’s woman.
    “What’s up your ass?” Ruben ask s leaning on the porch beside me, but refusing to meet my eyes.
    Not in the mood for my brother ’s wisecracks today, I reply, “I could ask you the same.”
    He frowns and finally turns to look at me, which , when I really get a good look at him in return, he doesn’t look good.
    “What’s going on, brother? And don’t give me shit. I know you and there’s something happening.” I let my words settle before adding, “You’re not getting enough sleep , and it’s not because of a woman.”
    He stares at me while drinking from his beer before turning back to gazing at the mountains unseen.
    “ Fuck. This is for your ears only. You got me?” he states with a quick glance back to me.
    What the hell , starting off the way he has makes my stomach spasm. Ruben never has problems at least he never has problems that he wants kept quiet.
    “You got it.” I put the longneck to my mouth and drain the bottle while I wait for him to tell me what the hell is going on.
    “It’s the club,” he sighs, “nothing financial. That’s secure. Keith walked up on a couple of guys trying to break into the club two nights ago. They ran when they spotted him running towards them, but last night some more windows were taken out.”
    “Fuck-in-hell, again? Why your club? What the hell are they after in there?”
    “Fuck if I know, but it’s pissing me off, and to top it all, one of the waitresses is giving me a hard time. She ignores what I ask her to do and does what the hell she ‘thinks’ I mean, spending most of the time bugging me. Why can’t they keep their mouths shut, smile wide and serve the customers, instead of bugging the shit outta me.”
    Thinking about what he just said causes me to roar with laughter. Yes, he’s pissed because of the vandalism and attempted break in, but steam practically came out of his ears when talking about his waitress. I’d bet my last dollar her name is Rosie.
    “What’s her name?” I keep the amusement out of my voice.
    He takes his time in answering. “Why? What difference does knowing her name make?”
    He looks everywhere, but me when he says it and I know I’m right even before the words come out. “Her name wouldn’t be Rosie, would it?” I chuckle at the look on his face. “You know what will get her out of your system?” Trying to keep my face straight while having this
