Caspian's pov

I tried to relax and dance to the remixed music.

Wilson doesn't look like a type to dance on regular.

He just moves his body a little but mostly looks around us.

Scarring anyone who comes close to me away.

"I think I need more drinks."

"Okay."

We drink some more and I get in the mood again.

"How come your uncle is only six years older than you? He could be your brother?" I ask him in the loud music.

"My mom is the oldest and had me young. Ira is the youngest of five.

We sort of grew up with each other. Especially the first years. "

"Oh. I see."

"Do you have siblings?"

"Yes. But i don't talk to them. Only to Asa."

"So your parents are divorced?"

"Yeah. For like ten years now. And yours?"

"No. The are both seeing other people and pretending to not know.

I have siblings too but ... They are just not on the same page as me.

Ira is way closer to me."

"And Reggie?"

"What about him?"

"How long do you know him?"

"Like five years?" He thinks. "Don't you want to go somewhere quiet.

I don't want to yell all night."

"I'm not staying all night."

"Okay. Then now at least."

We walk to the tables again where we can hear a bit better.

"For how long do you live in your place."

"Something about two years. After I graduated college completely."

"Why don't you live with Asa?"

"Because ... I wanted to be independent."

He laughs. "But wouldn't it be cheaper?"

"Not really. We both have quite cheap places and enough space."

"Okay. So you live close to each other and he lives at the flower shop.?"

"Yeah."

"And you work around the city."

"Hm." I nod at him. If i get a chance to.

"I live on the Hills."

"I didn't ask." I look at him.

"Okay. But if you wondered."

"I didn't."

"It's hills four- zero-one-nine. Big black mansion."

"Of course you live there. All the rich do."

"It's a nice neighborhood.

Is your okay?"

"It can get scary. But if a person like Orson can survive and not get hurt. I feel better."

"Yeah, your neighbor is interesting."

"But Ira is into him. Or not?"

"Oh, he's just single and trying to flirt. I don't know if it will last.

More like Reggie."

"No. It's Asa's fault. He's such a whore.

I'm sorry. I hope they don't fuck or something.

He's really horrible in this."

He chuckles. "I don't care about what they do."

"Right."

We look at each other awkwardly.

"Ehm, what time is it?"

"Close to one."

"Oh. I should go already. I go to bed at eleven max.

I'm getting really tired. Sorry."

"It's fine. I'll drive you."

I say bye to Orson and Ira. Then Asa with Reggie.

Dion puts a coat on me and then drive some home.

"Can we go somewhere again?"

"I don't know. If i wan to." I shrug.

"I will need a more specific answer."

"If i want to , we will. You will have to wait, I guess.

Sleep well, Dion " i get out the car with beating heart.

He only leaves after I enter the building.
