something popular and he couldn't have it anymore; he can no longer use
it on his menu. I'm not the crook here. You didn't get the real story, and
that's pretty sad considering he's your brother.”
    I nodded. I didn't know what to say. I definitely believed
him; he really had no reason to lie to me. I was shocked that my brother had
got me caught up in all of this. Why did he involve me in the first place,
especially if he was going to lie to me? He could have left me out of the
situation entirely. Instead he involves me to the point where I have to pretend
to be a lawyer and for what? A lie? Just one big huge lie? I couldn't imagine why he would do something like that to me. It just made no
sense.
    Would he really lie to me? Why? He could have just told me
the truth and it wouldn't have mattered to me. I don't involve myself in drama
that my brother gets into, so he shouldn't have felt like he needed to lie to
me. He would always be my brother no matter what, so why lie to me? I would
need to get to the bottom of things but I needed to talk to Jared first before
I formed any real opinion on the situation. If Link was telling the truth then
Jared and I would be having it out for sure, but I didn't want to say anything
in front of Link out of respect for my brother. I at least wanted to hear his
side of the story before coming to any conclusions. I hardly knew Link and I
needed to be loyal to Jared until he gave me a reason not to be. My loyalty in
the situation would end if I found out that he lied to me. But I wasn't willing
to take Link's word for it without talking to my brother first. What a mess...
    “I am impressed that you were willing to do that for your
brother though, you guys must really be close.” Link smiled weakly. He must
feel bad that he broke the news to me about my lying brother...okay I wasn't
sure yet...he could still be innocent. I needed to hold onto that thought.
    “We are…I love him a lot. I would do anything for him. But
at the time I didn't even know the full story. I just thought it would be fun.
And I didn't expect that you would be the owner either so things got a little
out of hand.”
    “Well if it helps, as soon as I saw you I thought you were
breathtaking - definitely the best part of my day was having you walk in and
yell at me. I don't normally talk to customers unless there is a complaint made
but when I saw Lisa talking to you I just had to come over and see you. I
thought it was my lucky day. I never got a chance to talk to you while I worked
for Jared, which was my mistake.”
    I laughed, “Oh really? I guess I wasn't very terrifying as a
lawyer then.”
    “Oh I was completely terrified. Don't worry.” He winked at
me and I laughed. He had a great sense of humor and seemed very good-natured
about everything. He didn't seem to care that I made a fool of myself
pretending to be my brother’s lawyer. Nor did he seem fazed that I had a
brother that might be lying to me. He just went with the flow, not a care in
the world. I was really starting to like Link a lot and I was glad I didn't
have to go around pretending I was something that I was not. That would make
things very complicated between us and they were complicated enough. Jared
would probably be furious if he found out I was there with Link. But I couldn't
help myself; I was drawn to him. We just had such a strong connection for two
people who had never met before. It was something that I just wanted to give
myself up to and see where it took me. I didn't want to ignore Link just
because my brother was feuding with him. Jared should have left me out of it
from the beginning. It wasn't everyday that you met someone that made you feel
alive and that was how I felt every time that I was around Link.
    “What do you say we go do some dancing?” He asked.
      I nodded; I
loved the idea. Especially since it meant that we could get nice and close. The
idea of Link's hands on my body sent chills up my spine. I wanted him close
