Al's Point of View

" Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to start with laying down a couple of rules. Firstly, if you do have a mobile phone please leave it switched on, keep yourselves entertained. And secondly, if anyone texts you any good jokes, could you please forward them to me"I joked as everyone laughed.

"This hotel means a lot to me. I usually don't buy full companies. I usually just buy a percentage of your company, help you get your shit together, and make you pay me back my money"

As everyone laughed again I gave David the nod to start passing out glasses. I tried to spot out Hannah. When I didnt see her immediately I started to worry thinking she was hurt or something but I soon found her standing next to one of the girls from her art group, and Blondy. She was looking right at me smiling, and that gave me the signal to keep going.

"On a serious note. Buying this hotel helped me a lot. A few months ago I said to myself, if I can buy this hotel then I can buy anything, yes it's cliche shut up, it was the truth. Now I know I can invest and buy more meaningful things. Such as more retirement homes, homeless shelters, more hospitals and maybe even build one of my own. I can do all these things with your help, or your money's help but you get the point. When you book a room here, when you take a look at it, know that it is not just a hotel, it's a family. It's a legacy, that you all could be apart of. You can book a room at Hotel Crossroads original building, way down there in New York, or you could come to one of its other locations, out here, one just down the street actually, Whichever one you go, it doesn't matter, just keep in mind that when you step into that building you are continuing a legacy and helping many people. Now pick up your glass and drink with me. No there's no toast, my throat is dry from all this talking."

I said grabbing the glass of wine David gave me and taking a sip as everyone else did the same.

″Okay, now this one is a toast. A toast to Legacy. This hotels legacy that will live on and on" I announced lifting the glass,

″TO THE LEGACY"

"TO THE LEGACY" Everyone shouted and drunk the wine.

I hopped off the stage and made my way to David and Mickey

″You did good kid" Mickey said patting my back as I met up with him.

"Thanks My speechwriter is a natural, he should have just went up there and did it."

″Nah, like usual, you added your own fucking twist in it. Talking about This hotel helped me and bullshit I didnt write that asshole"

″Well, I wanted to make it believable so I had to. I went along with everything else, and you don't see anyone else complaining do you? Where's Hannah?"I asked looking around the room. But it didnt takes long to find her since she was already making her way to me.

"You did amazing baby"

″Thank you, angel. I have to talk to some people first, I just wanted to make sure you and little tacilla were ok" I answered, rubbing a hand on her belly

″You know we're not naming the baby that right? so you can stop trying"

″Why not? Tacos and Lilliana. Your middle name and tacos. That's a perfect match."

″No, it's not, its sounds like fake Italian. I was thinking rosy for a girl, and maybe Caden for a boy"

"I like Caden. Caden Kai Capone"

"Wait does that mean we're getting mar..."

″Shhh, I gotta go, I love you"

"But my feet hurt and I want to go home"

" I know I promise we will be real quick ok. Just go wait for me next to your friends ok?"

" Ugh fine, hurry up " she ordered walking back over to blondy and another girl.

When she was next to her friends I made my way back to David.

"Keep your eyes on Selena, I don't want her to start any drama. At this stage, I'm not so certain Hannah won't throw hands"

″Yeah we all know what happened last time″

″Shut up. Mickey wants to talk to us in my office."

″So? What is he, my dad?"

Even though he said that he still started walking towards my office. Finally, after greeting many guests we were able to make it there.

Hannah's Point of View

"Ugh, I'm ready to go home. My feet hurt and I'm sure little Caden is ready to go too." I complained to Jules as we sat on the banquet chairs. Around thirty minutes ago after Al gave his speech and went somewhere with David, all the rest of my friends left except Jules and Ruby.

"Caden? I kind of like that name. It fits."

"Yeah me too, I'd Never had kids, too many diapers and all that, but if I wanted to that would be the name."

"I don't know I was thinking more of a Mathew or joseph. But whatever the name is I cant wait for this baby to pop out. 1 more month to go ladies. 1 more. Sometime next month ill is back in tip-top shape."

Jules and Ruby both gave each other a look. "Uh, I don't think it works like that Hunny" Jules said Looking confused.

"What do you mean?"

As she was about to answer I looked out on the floor and nearly choked. And I wasn't even drinking anything.

"Jules," I said tapping her arm still looking at the floor.

"What? I'm trying to talk"

″It's her. That bitch is here"

″Woah. Now I know the pregnancy and hormones and all that stuff gives you the excuse, but not everyone is a bitch Hannah damn"

″Says the one that greets people by calling them a bitch, but that's not what I mean, Selena, barbie is here″

Right after I told Jules this. Selena looked right at me. She gave me one of her signature bitch smiles. One where she knew exactly how much she made my blood boil.

″Oh shit. Hannah does not retaliate. I'm sure the baby doesn't want to be born in the middle of a fight.″

″Well at least he'll know how to fight.″

″Wait who is she?″ Ruby asked pointing to Selena.

″She's a Plastic bitch. ″

″Oh wow, you just described half of this city. I have to go to the bathroom. I think I might have eaten too many crabs she mumbled walking to the bathroom.

Selena started to make her way over to us.

″Okay, Hannah please just keep your cool okay. Keep your cool. Think about your baby. You don't want to slip or something and fall right?″Jules whispered in my ear as Selena got closer.

As much as I wanted to yank those pearls from her neck, I knew Jules was right.

"Hello, ladies. Long time no see. It's such a pleasure to see you."She greeted us still standing.

″I wish I could say the same"I mumbled under my breath.

″Oh, so your the woman my best friend has told me so much about"Jules said, standing up and shaking hands with Selena.

She will definitely be washing her hands before she touches me again.

"All good things I hope"

″Oh they weren't "Jules said giving her the same fake smile as Selena was giving her.

"Oh god, Hannah that's a killer dress. It absolutely kills me to look at"

″Ha good one you slimy whore"

I said as we all faked laughed.

"Hello, ladies. Would you care for a tequila eastside?" A waiter asked walking by.

″Yes please "We all said grabbing the drink of the tray.

"You shouldn't be drinking that Hannah. Not with a baby coming along right?"Selena asked as the waiter left.

″No, I'm fine. It's one drink. I need it"

I decided to stand up just in case Al was on his way back. That way I could leave as soon as possible.

"Um Jules, could you help me up?"

″Sure" She responded lightly grabbing one arm helping me to stand up. Thankfully I was wearing flats or otherwise, I would have never made it.

″So how far along are you″

″8 months yesterday, "I said taking a sip of my drink. I hadn't had any alcohol in a while so it made my mouth feel all weird. I didnt like that feeling and realized I hadn't missed it, so instead of drinking it I just held it in my hand as I watched people move around.

"And who's the father? I'm sure that's not really a hard question, speaking of you've only been with 4 guys in your entire life."

″You're right it's not that hard. Al is the father. In fact, In about two months, we will be going one year strong."

″Al? So I see you guys are back together huh. "She said looking down as I saw something like envy in her eyes, and that made me smile to myself."

″Yep."

″Oh, actually my boyfriend is here. Let me just call him over...Paul, could you come here darling!"

She yelled across the room. Soon a man version of her was standing on the side of her. He looked like the type of person to work with Al. But that's no difference, most of the people in this Banquet work for or with Al.

″Hey, babe. And who is this lovely lady?" He asked looking at Jules.

"I'm Jules Carson. And I have a taser in my purse."

"Anyways, I called you over here to introduce you to Hannah."

″Who?"

She chuckled a little before saying,

″Oh honey you know, Hannah Brown, Al Capone's knocked up girlfriend"

″Oh right. You guys broke up before right? And now you're pregnant with his baby."

After he said this I heard glass shatter. When I looked up to see who and what it was all eyes were on me. Then I realized I was the one that had broken my glass of tequila eastside.

"What the hell was that?... Oh Woah, Hannah?"

I heard Al yell as he walked back inside the banquet hall with David and Mikey. They all came running to where Selena, Jules, Paul, and I were standing with the shattered glass.

″Are you hurt? What happened? is the baby okay?"Al asked moving me away from the glass with a confused and scared look.

″Yeah, yeah, baby I'm fine. I didnt know I could do that. I guess I just got a little stressed."

″A little? Baby, you broke a Wine glass with your bare hands. You're more than a little stressed

"Oh, she's more than a little stressed. This Bitch here and her cheap cologne having ass boyfriend is pissing her off."Jules blurted out, earning Selena and Paul an Eye roll.

″I told you to keep her away from her man, damn" Al whispered to David.

″Wait so you knew this skank was here and didn't say anything?"I asked Al getting even more pissed.

″Well, how did this skank ended up on YOUR boyfriend's lap?"

″Same way you get everything done, sleep your way to the top" I shot back. If it wasn't for Al's tight hold on my arm I would have already swung.

″Babe Look let's just go alright. I'm with you not her. You are carrying my child not her. Let's just go. Don't you want to leave anyway?"Al asked trying to walk me to the exit door. After some death glares, I let him walk me. Jules and David Followed along. Jules on my side and David on Al's, as we all were walking to the entrance. Mickey stayed back to wait for his wife. Just as we were about to open the door I heard her say,

"You must be having a girl, you've gotten very ugly. You see, when carrying a girl, she takes away your looks for yourself."

"Yeah Al, I bet you're liking those boobs! They look nice while she's pregnant but they probably won't after she has the baby" Paul added.

All of us stopped walking, turned around, and said,

"What the fuck did you just say?"We all asked, Al and David, looking Paul and me and Jules looking at Selena. Al let go of my hand and he and David started walking slowly to Paul, and I and Jules did the same thing.

Once We were standing in front of her I said,

″Jules"

And Jules punched her t in the mouth. Making her bottom lip bleed, and from the shock, she fell back on the ground. Laying on her back, with her head up looking at us. She spits at the ground, trying to get rid of the blood from inside her mouth.

″What the h..."

I didnt let her finish and instead pushed her back down with my foot, where she was laying on the ground, and my flat hovering over her neck, inches away from pressing down.

″Can't just keep your mouth shut huh bitch?It's a shame really, we've been through this before. Your not pretty enough to be this dumb. You know I tried, really I tried. But anyway, if you ever, disrespect me, my boyfriend, or my unborn child like that in any way, shape or form, I promise you, sweetie, not even that plastic surgeon you go to will be able to fix what I do to you, Okay?"

When she didnt respond I leaned my foot closer to her neck,

″I said okay?"

"Okay," she whispered and trying to catch her breath.

"Good"

I lifted my foot, Jules grabbed out purses, that we had almost forgotten, and we walked outside, waiting for the boys to return.

Al's Point of View

"I'm gonna ask you to repeat what the fuck you just said one more fucking time"I warned paul.

I was one inch from knocking him dead cold. After I saw how upset Hannah was I became more upset that people were making her upset.

″Um buh, but I was just joking man, you know us...."

″Uh buh buh, Shut the fuck up, "David added in.

″Cool you were just playing around right? Just cracking jokes about my wife's boobs right.?"

"Yeah but I dd...."

"So if I do this," I said Punching his jaw, "I'm playing right?"

"If I do this, "I said punching his cheek, "I'm playing right?"

″Low life piece of fucking shit. I hope you and that bitch you call a girlfriend end up where you belong. Burning in fucking hell. "

After I said this I punched him in his jaw making him fall to the floor. Then he was out.

"David" I yelled walking to the exit.

″What?"

″Clean him up. Pay them. Lock the building. "

″Cool, we still on for burgers tomorrow?"

″Come on man, we both know its taco's″

"Alright,let me know how hannah's doing"

″Will do. Love you bro"

″Love you too″

″Alright people, If I see this on the internet tomorrow I'm kicking all your asses. That's a promise, not a warning. Now get me a bag."I heard him say as I walked out of the Banquet.
