Speak To Me

(Alder)

"I swear I have never met a more infuriating man in my life." My mom Viva grumbled as we walked out of the courthouse. I nodded my head, my eyes glancing towards my two brothers as they seemed just as pissed off as my mom was.

I know this was extra hard on Ben since he just recently found out Dave was his real father not too long ago. But if anything, that just made us all a even closer since Ben was already my best friend, to begin with.

Now that my dad was trying to appeal his case, he decided to attack my mom and brother, stating this was all a setup orchestrated by them.

But yeah..I'm guessing they are going to throw the case out considering the mountains of evidence and written testimonies the court has received. They even figured out who the hitman was that my dad hired to try and kill Neal Turner who was my sister in laws father. The hitman was already in prison on another charge and willingly testified against Dave King.

"I'm just glad to be done with this shit.." Caspian grumbled, his hand reaching over as he pulled his wife Johnnie closer to his side.

"So, are you staying in town for a few days Alder? If you need a place to stay we have an extra room in the apartment." Johnnie suggested, making me look away sheepishly..

"Actually, I planned on taking the red-eye back tonight.." I confessed making the four of them look at me disapprovingly. It was a little after five, so if I caught a flight back in a few hours, I should be able to get to Jolie's place by midnight.

"Alder..work can wait, your family hasn't seen you in months. I miss my son." My mom said, causing me to feel guilty.

I haven't exactly told them about Jolie yet..I mean, it's still so freaking new, and truthfully..once my mom knows..she is going to want to fly her ass out to New York and meet her.

Which I'm totally cool with, but I don't know exactly where Jolie stands right now. If it were up to me..we would already be official and I plan on letting Jolie know how I feel as soon as I get back.

I also want to get back home so I can see how the dinner went. She should be back home by now you would think. Since it started at five and they are three hours ahead of us.

"I just..have things I have to do Mom. You understand right?" I asked her and quickly pulled out my phone. I wanted to see if Jolie called or texted yet. We had to turn our phones over once we entered the courtroom, so I felt anxious about it all day. I could see my mom studying me carefully and I knew she was suspicious.

"Okay, who is she?" My mom asked, making my eyes widen as I saw my brother Caspian and half-brother Ben stop in their tracks.

"Who? What are you talking about Mom?" Caspian asked, glancing towards me as Johnnie suddenly started to smile.

"Alder.." My mom said, looking at me knowingly as I let out a long sigh. I knew this would happen eventually..considering our family is so close..and I'm guessing they might be a little upset that I kept it from them..so I might as well tell the truth. "It's only been a couple of weeks..so it's still pretty new.." I grumbled, making Johnnie and my mom both gasp before letting out an excited squeal.

"When can we meet her? What's her name? Why didn't you say anything?!" The questions started flowing out as Caspian was now smirking.

"I will tell you over dinner okay? But after that, I do need to get back." I said making my mom nod eagerly before coming over and looping her arm through mine.

"I'm so excited for you Alder..I knew this would happen when you moved down there! I just had a feeling." She rushed out and we started walking towards the car.

That's when I felt my phone start to go off, making me grab it from my pocket as I looked at the screen.

Jolie, she was calling.

I couldn't help the goofy ass grin that pulled at my face, making me pause for a moment.

"Let me just take this call really quick." I said, causing my mom to smile and nod as I walked over a little before answering it.

"Hey beautiful, did everything go okay at the dinner?" I answered, feeling my heart start to race as I waited for her sweet voice to respond..

But what I heard next..it was the last fucking thing I expected..

"Mmm oh yes Matteo." A feminine voice moaned, the sound muffled as I tried to listen closer. What the hell was that?

"Jolie? Are you there?" I asked more firmly now, straining to listen as more moans and gasps filled the air.

"Yes, Jolie fuck, just like that.." A man yelled, followed by the sound of skin slapping against skin, causing my stomach to drop.

I pulled the phone back, making sure this really was Jolie calling as I looked at the phone in horror.

This can't be real..there is no fucking way.

"Fuck me, Matteo! Fuck me nice and hard!" A woman shouted and I couldn't for the life of me tell if that really was Jolie..the sound was so muffled and the moans pierced right through me..I felt like my world was crumbling down around me. My stomach dropped as I felt my head start to spin.

"Alder, what's wrong? What is it?" My mom asked, grabbing the phone from me before I could react as she placed it to her ear.

I could see her eyes widen in horror before she quickly hung up the phone.

"Is that..her?" My mom asked softly and I couldn't even answer..because I didn't know if it was..

My gut says it can't be..that there is no way in hell Jolie would do this..especially with that piece of shit.

But hearing her name coming from his mouth and the moans that followed..it fucking killed me.

"Come on, let's go back to the house for a little." My mom said, making my brow furrow as I shook my head no.

"I..let me just call her back..this has to be some type of mistake. It can't be her.." I rushed out, grabbing the phone as I quickly called her back.

It rang and rang..and then finally.

"What the fuck do you want? Jolie is a little busy at the moment." Matteo answered, making my blood boil.

"Cut the shit Matteo..where the hell is she? There is no fucking way Jolie would ever do this shit..especially with you." I snapped, causing my brother to walk up now.

"What's going on? Is everything okay?" Caspian boomed, making me turn away from him and walk to somewhere more private.

"Just face it, dude..Jolie finally came to her senses..she chose the better man. And by the sounds she was just making when I fucked her brains out..I'd say I'm the better man in more ways than one." And with that, he hung up, and what he sent me next made my heart drop. It was naked pictures of Jolie lying in a messy bed with her arm draped over her face..this can't be real..it just fucking can't.
