Thread: Trouble is her name (PatientOne x Squee)

Both Mina and Rick kept a conversation with Theresa. They both knew they should let Alex and his mother catch up, but they just couldn't help the exchanging of stories. Mina told her of the plans she once had, that had basically been ruined. Rick of course defended himself by saying he had no choice in the matter. This she didn't believe for a moment. It would be just as easy to send a babysitter with her. His real reason was, he didn't want to lose what little contact he had with his daughter. She hoped that over time she could change his mind, maybe if she could prove that things were nearly as dangerous as he thought they were. Mina noticed the sly smile on her fathers face every time he glanced at his phone and then to Alex. Knowing the look all to well, she knew he had something up his sleeve. This was the same look he got when he found a good piece of information on a person he was trying to put in prison. The smile held a hint of confidence, pride, and trouble. While she was certain he wasn't waiting for any damning evidence on Alex, she was more then curious. It wasn't until five minutes had passed of him doing this, that everyone would know the reason. Rick's phone rang, this was nothing new, but he seemed excited about this phone call. A hushed conversation took place, before he set the phone on the tables surface. Putting it on speaker, there was an immediate voice booming from the other end. She had just taken a sip of wine. Nearly choking on it when the rude words echoed through the room. Mina coughed a little, her hand against her chest. Maybe her father should have said something before hand. Like everyone else, she sat listening to the conversation between the two. Once again she was satisfied to see him suffering from embarrassment. It made him look human after all, she could use all this later to her advantage. Leaning back in her seat, she made quick comments to both Theresa and Emily. Both woman laughed a little at what she said, maybe she would tell him what they were talking about later. After the phone call ended, dinner continued on with more stories. Theresa had plenty of embarrassing ones of Alex. Mina was a little saddened that her own father didn't have any of her. She always knew why he had to be gone so long and so many times. She just always thought it would have been nice to have him home more. Greta her nanny on the other hand would have so many to share. Mina was glad she wasn't here right now. All three walked the woman to the door when dinner was over. Saying a quick goodbye, both Rick and Mina thought it good to give Alex a few minutes with his family alone. Pouring another glass of wine, Mina walked to the door leading out to the pool. The area was lit beautifully. She leaned against the door frame, watching the lights dance on the water. Hearing Alex approach, she turned herself to face him full on. He seemed genuinely surprised about the way she treated his family. He would learn soon enough. She wondered which ex babysitter had gotten to him. Frank hated her the most, called her spoiled bitch on multiple occasions. That was what got him fired, saying it within ear shot of Rick. Your family is welcome here anytime, she took a sip of the wine. You will be living here after all. Mi casa es tu casa. Pushing herself from the door frame, she placed her glass on a small table. I think I am ready for bed, Mr. Relic. I will see you in the morning. She began walking up the stairs her hips swaying gently. Stopping on the fifth step she turned. Oh I don't know how much of the house he showed you, my room is two doors down from yours though. Gotta keep you close by and in ear shot after all. Smiling, she gave him a little wink and continued up the stairs.
