Page 48 of Don Caselli

Navy hugged her father. “See you later, Mamas… I made some tea and have coconut water in the fridge.”

“Thanks. One day I’m gonna retire you, you know?”

He smiled. “Until then, we keep moving forward, right?”

“Always forward,” Avril affirmed, and I assumed this was something the three of them shared between each other.

Avril walked Ro downstairs, and Navy walked around the table, kissing me on the cheek. “Morning, Don.”

I pinched her ass in the leggings she wore. “Why you playing with me?”

“So, are you busy today?”

“Got some work to handle.”

Corleon was the head of cyber security when it came to all things related to the Caselli family. While I handled finances, I was also the second line of defense for the cyber security for Case House. Core’s ass always did some wild shit that made it look like we were hacked to see if I could solve the problem.

He did the same shit to Skyler and Aimee, too, because he claimed he was building us up. I mean, I understood because the man was a genius and did this shit in his sleep. The reason Case House and everything involving the Caselli name was so damn powerful was because of Corleon D. Bruster.

“Okay.”

I pulled her closer to me. “You can come chill with me.”

“I do have work to do, so I guess I should do the same thing.”

“Do it over my house.”

“Sure?”

“Yeah… and after, let me cook us dinner and eat on the terrace.”

Navy slid into the seat across from me. “Yeah?”

“I can cook, Bleu… throws down in the kitchen.”

“Never denied it… um, how we getting to your house? I love the train, but I don’t have the energy to walk home and then to the train to your house.”

“Don’t worry about it… want me to carry you down the block?”

“Stop playing with me, Landon.”

I laughed. “Deadass.”

Avril came back into the house and shuffled into the kitchen. “Landon, you know that man pulled off way too happy to drive to work this morning, right?”

“And I bet he’s taking you out tonight, too, huh?” Navy smiled at her mother, who started blushing at the thought.

“Stay out my business little girl,” she joked. “I’m gonna get ready for work. You gonna stay around here today?”

“Nope. Landon is taking me to his house. He has to work and I’m gonna film a few videos and freeload his Wi-Fi in his nice penthouse.”

“Penthouse, huh? Landon, what is it that you do again?” Avril put her hand on her hip, waiting for me to reply.

“I’m an accountant and dabble in cyber security for my brother’s companies,” I explained the best way that I could.

“Hmm… and you went to college?”

“Yes, ma’am.”
