Altair nodded, offering her a small smile.

"I'll keep it forever." Marlowe grinned, putting the umbrella into her back before reaching across to brush her thumb against his cheek. Leaning in to kiss him deeply.

Faye tensed from where she stood on the other side of the room, narrowing her eyes at her mother and Uncle. Thundering through the crowd in search of Archer.

Altair kissed her back, moving to rest his hand on the side of her face to bring her closer.

Archer was on the dance floor with Scarlet, in the middle of spinning her with a smile on his face

**BestNameEva** Sat 17 Jul - 15:29

"Archer!" Faye yapped, grabbing her cousins wrist and pulling him away from Scarlett. Forcing him to face Marlowe and Altair; "You and I are going to be weird step-sibling cousin hybrids if we don't sort this out right now."

Marlowe moved a hand up, brushing her fingers through his hair gently

“Faye what the fuck?!” Archer hissed as he was pulled away, face twitching when he caught sight of his father. “Why are they doing that in public?!”

“Shall we find somewhere a little more private?”

**BestNameEva** Sat 17 Jul - 15:41

"It's disgusting, isn't it?!" Faye hissed. "You need to stop jt! You need to stop it right now!"

Scarlett watched with a frown. "Is it really that important it can't just be a conversation tomorrow?"

"Mm, let's do that. Yeah." Marlowe grinned against his lips.

Phoenix Sat 17 Jul - 15:44

“It’s embarrassing.” Archer hissed, seeing red as he made his way over.

Altair grinned, getting up and offering her a hand out. Jerking forward as he was suddenly shoved by Archer and then spun round and shoved up against the wall.

**BestNameEva** Sat 17 Jul - 15:48

"Arch, it isn't worth - jesus christ." Scarlett groaned, rolling her eyes when Faye stuck her tongue out at her smugly before following Archer over.

"Archer, what the hell is your problem?!" Marlowe hissed, getting to her feet.

Phoenix Sat 17 Jul - 15:52

“You are the fucking problem. So much of a leech you sank your claws into a grieving man and manipulated him so you were still in the loop of the family! What kind of sick fuck goes after a man who’s long term partner just died?!”

“I’m not a child Archer. Let go of me now before things get serious.”

**BestNameEva** Sat 17 Jul - 15:55

"The same kind of person who sinks his claws into a woman not over her ex husband, with a kind-of boyfriend and who is suicidal. Your dad is the problem here too." Faye hissed then as she approached, crossing her arms over her chest. "Both of them are the fucking problem."

"Faye don't use language like that! Mine and Altair's relationship is not either of your business, children."

Phoenix Sat 17 Jul - 15:58

“Your mother is the cheating rat here, your dad didn’t want her and the posh Brit wasn’t enough because it just has to be a Levi so she went after one at their weak point!”

“Archer, enough!”

**BestNameEva** Sat 17 Jul - 16:33

"What are you so scared of Archer? Seriously - are you scared I'll hurt your dad? What is it?" Marlowe sighed, reaching out to rest her hand on his arm gently.

Phoenix Sat 17 Jul - 16:39

“You will because you’re a jumped up gold digging, social climbing - .” Archer snarled, shoving her off him and suddenly being pinned up face first against the wall himself by Altair who’d used the opportunity to turn the tables. A thudding noise as Archers head hit the wall and Altair leaned in to hiss something in his ear.

**BestNameEva** Sat 17 Jul - 22:51

Marlowe flinched at his words, shrinking back a little bit and mumbling a quiet; "Excuse me." Before disappearing off to the bathroom.

"Altair!" Scarlett snapped from the side. "He had a head injury recently, stop!"

Phoenix Sun 18 Jul - 18:55

“Mustve given him permanent brain damage.” Altair snapped as he pulled away from his son.

**BestNameEva** Sun 18 Jul - 19:04

Scarlett shook her head and stepped between them when there was the opportunity to. "Whatever your kids say to you, you don't hurt them. It's shitty parents like you, thinking they can hurt their own kids, that fuck people up."

Faye shifted her weight uncomfortably as she watched.

(( I'll throw stuff up for the others once I have plated up food ))

Phoenix Sun 18 Jul - 19:19

“He’s not a child. He wants to act like the big man throwing insults around and manhandling me he can damn well accept the consequences. Men in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, he calls Marlowe a gold digger - the accountant has flagged up thousands of dollars worth of expensive gifts delivered to your apartment, dinners for two, the oh-so-romantic booking out movie theatres and restaurants costing hundreds each time. I wonder why he’s got gold digging on his mind mm?”

**BestNameEva** Sun 18 Jul - 19:38

Scarlett adjusted herself, standing up straighter and leaning in to square up to him. Forehead centermeters away from Altair's as she locked eye contact with him, challenging with a hiss; "Say the accusation again, I dare you."

"You've certainly got a good eye for talent." Dylan, a man with long black hair with green tips, mused with an impressed tone. His chin resting on his hands which he had clasped together as he studied Mila closely. "It is a talent in itself."

"Oh my god." Tesni groaned as a empty shot glass his the bar, face contorted as she gagged in disgust at the taste; "What was that one?"

"It's called a skittle shot or something, I think." Elliot chuckled, leaning across to order another round.

Phoenix Sun 18 Jul - 19:51

“I recognise my sons taste in jewellery.” Altair mused as he moved to gently grasp at the necklace Scarlett was wearing, lightly running it through his fingers before dropping it. “Tacky, like his taste in women. Always tried to convince me to buy it for his mother. Money clearly can’t buy him taste as easily as it buys him whores.”

“Shut the fuck up dad.” Archer hissed, finally blinking his way out of the daze he’d been sent into when his father had hit his head on the wall.

“He did great didn’t he?” Mila grinned proudly as she sipped at her drink. “The single only dropped an hour ago at midnight and it’s already in the top ten, it’s rocketing up the charts. Debut of the year.”

“One of the hot ones next! Flame throwers or whatever they’re called!” Erin egged.

**BestNameEva** Sun 18 Jul - 19:58

Scarlett lifted her hand up quickly, angling her fingers so that her nails were more likely to break the skin as she aimed her palm to collide with Altair's cheek.

"H- hot ones? Ho- how can drinks be hot?"

"Tobasco sauce." Elliot answered cheerily, pushing the shots over once they were made. "Go, go, go."

Tesni groaned, shaking her head and lowering her head to rest her forehead on the bar. Moaning, "No, the room is spinning."

"He done fine. I am not sat at this table to talk about him though. This conversation should be about you." He moved his hand up then, reaching across the table with a gentle; "Excuse me," as he brushed a small stray hair from her cheek. "As a newcomer into launching people's career, as you are, can I give you some advice?"

Phoenix Sun 18 Jul - 20:04

“Advice is welcome.” Mila nodded, though shifted and leaned back a little in her seat.

Altair gritted his teeth, steeling himself and taking a step back once he’d been struck, moving the back of his hand to his cheek and wrinkling when it came away bloody from the cuts on his face. “I do believe that was assault. A career ending charge for you don’t you think if it went to my very good friend at the police station?”

“Dad don’t you dare, you deserved it!”

“That means the alcohol is working.” Erin almost sang as she downed her own shot, choking and then laughing as her face went red.

**BestNameEva** Sun 18 Jul - 20:11

"Watch out for Kieran Levine. He'll try and steal your clients, and he'll play dirty."

Elliot laughed, downing his own drink and instantly lifting his hand up to cover his mouth to stop himself from spitting it out.

"No, no. This is horrific. I fucking hate parties." Tesni whined.

"You don't scare me, old man. You're just a jumped up coward, hiding behind money - daddy's money too, you didn't earn shit." Scarlett hissed.

Phoenix Sun 18 Jul - 20:17

“He can’t steal Seb. I’ve got him in an airtight contract, not that he would anyway since we’re like family and shit. I appreciate the concern but it’s unwarranted.”

“Oh Tes lighten up. You’re finally embracing your Matthews genes!”

“Having my own money that I worked for has meant that nobody has ever had to buy my affections, nor am I impressed by two hundred dollar g string sets.”

“You have zero fucking right to go through what i spend my money on.”

“Oh but son, by your girlfriends definition, if I’m living off daddy’s money then so are you.”
