Chapter 32 - Tips From A Pro

Tom chuckled quietly, and mentally patted his back for coming up with such a brilliant idea. Why hadn't he thought of it earlier? Having her work as his personal assistant would enable him control her activities in his favour. That way 'Tom' would have the chance to take her out whenever he wanted to. He was sure both his siblings would be very proud of him if he told them about this new development.

"Time to get my bad boy makeover!" Tom said, rubbing his hands together in excitement.

He had spent most part of the night browsing out colors he wanted to try out on his hair, and he had settled on copper brown. He wanted to look like a hot yet responsible bad boy. That way not only would she find him attractive, but she would have a hard time deciding whether he was a bad boy or not. 'Keep her guessing' was his new motto.

He had made a mental note to expose his body around her more often now, since it was obvious that she was the type to be attracted by things like that. His conversation with Bryan the previous evening had paid off after all.

[The Previous Evening]

After his conversation with Jade, he had checked the internet for tips on how to be a bad boy, and after sometime he had given up on everything he was seeing online, and decided to give Bryan a call as Jade had suggested, and ask him for tips on how to be a bad boy.

"You've called twice within twenty-four hours, are you ill?" Bryan had asked the moment he had received the call.

"No, I'm not. However, I need your advise. Since you're about to hang your bad boy boots, can you pass it on to me?" He had asked, making Bryan raise a brow.

"Bad boy boots?"

"Yep! Since you're getting married, maybe I can carry on the bad boy legacy for the Hank family," Tom said making Bryan frown. He didn't want to remember the whole engagement thing.

"Why would you want to do that now?"

"There is a girl I'm interested in, and she seems like a really good girl. Jade says good girls like bad boys, so I want to win her by being the bad boy. I want tips." Tom had said in his usual straight fashion manner making Bryan sit up.

"You talked to Jade about her already, and you're just telling me?" Bryan asked enviously.

"I figured since she is a girl, she would better understand what girls want," Tom explained, making Bryan relax. He had always felt like himself and Tom weren't very close because they had different personalities, but he was glad that Tom was asking him this now.

His always focused gentleman brother wanting to be a bad boy wasn't something one got to see everyday. This was definitely a worthy welcome distraction from the evil Sonia, "Well, it is pretty easy. Don't be a gentleman. Gentlemen are boring and they pretend too much," Bryan stated like a pro.

"Don't ladies like being treated specially?"

"They like to think they do, but they actually don't. Why do you think they always fall for the guys who don't treat them so specially. That is simply because they like the idea of taming a bad boy. Good guys are like a bland dish, but bad guys are like a spicy dish." Bryan continued excitedly, almost like he had been waiting all his life to give his elder brother the lecture.

"But being a rich good guy should account for something, right? Women love money," Tom pointed out.

"True. But they could stick with you for your money while giving their heart and body to broke bad boys. Women fall flat for rich bad boys!"

"You want to know what women want? Women want a man that would make their heart race and their blood pump in their ears. They want someone that is comfortable with showing off his good looks and attractive body. A confident guy who would wink at them across the room as he checks them out, rather than the one that would hold out a chair for her and offer a polite smile. But, I think someone like you could be pull off being both though," Bryan added as an afterthought.

"I see." Hearing this now, Tom was beginning to think that his problem with ladies wasn't merely because he didn't give them enough time, or because he had pretended to not be rich. He had merely been a boring good guy, but all that was about to change.

"If you want to be a bad boy, you have to be real. By real I mean, brutally honest. If she isn't looking good, say so. If she smells bad, say it. If her dress sense is drab, let her know. Don't try to sugarcoat words. Also when..."

Tom who was been busy jotting down all Bryan was saying, paused. "Can we take the lessons a day at a time? I'd like to practice and give you feedback daily. That way I can know if I'm on the right track," Tom had suggested.

"That would be cool!" Bryan had said with a grin. He was so looking forward to bonding with his brother and seeing him transform into a bad boy.

"Alright, thank you..."

"Hold on! I have to give you an assignment first. You're seeing her tomorrow, right?"

"Sure. We live next door and I'm her driver."

"Waow! What is going on? You have to fill me in on everything if I'm going to help!" Bryan said excitedly.

Tom didn't like having people in his business, but he was also trying to use this medium to bond with his siblings, so he told Bryan everything he had told Jade, and also left out Lucy's checklist as well as the intimate part of their meeting.

"So she works for you?"

"Yes."

"But now you work for her?" Bryan asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah."

"Good then. Your assignment tomorrow, wear a button down shirt and leave the top buttons open so she gets a view of your chest. See if her eyes stay glued to your chest," Bryan instructed.

"And what happens if it does?"

"Then you have to make sure you keep wearing stuff like that to build the sexual tension until she can't hold it in anymore. She's either going to ask you to start covering up properly, or she is going to rip off your shirt one day,"

"Bryan, I don't want just sex."

"Sex is always a good start. Get into her bed, and if you do a good job you can sneak into her heart.. It's that easy," Bryan said confidently.
