This is my first fanfic, so please, no flames. I don't own Knockaround guys as much as i wish i do. But the idea is mine, and so is the people you don't recognize from the movie.
Please review, if you like the story, or you have some criticism
Welcome Home
People told her when she bought the little shop, in Brooklyn. They told her that it was filled with mobs but what could she do? Let that hold her back? No, the little charming shop in between the flower shop and the chine's take-away, just spoke to her. It wasn't big or small just the right size, and there was space enough outside so people could enjoy a cup of coffee by the small round tables. What she did'nt know was that her life was about to change.
10 years earlier.
The smell of paint still lingered in the newly painted shop. The walls where now white instead of the murky brown it was before. Inola stood behind the new black counter, taking it all in. She decided to by the shop and turn it into a small bakery, but where you could also buy tea and coffee. It was quite a risk, it was a lot of money to put into a little shop like that, she could lose everything.
The bakery just opened a few weeks ago. It went well for a new shop, especially in this neighborhood. Inola was told that mobs ruled this side of town but she had yet to meet one. Inola called the little bakery "Welcome Home" simply because she wanted it sound welcoming and cozy.
Not long after opening the shop she could hire some help. A young girl called Elly, she was about 17 years old. Red hair and a flaming personality to match it.
The shop had been quiet the most of the Friday morning. Inola sat in the back room, paying some bills but mostly looking at new recipes, when the young girl came flying in the door looking rather scared.
"Inola you have got to get out there, there is his giant of a man standing out there asking for the owner" said the slightly hyper redhead. Inola pushed back her chair and walked out the backdoor to get out behind the counter.
When she saw the guy who was asking for her, she literally dropped her jaw on the black stone floor. The guy was gorgeous. His hair was shaved close to his head. He was leaning on the counter, showing off his muscled arms in his tight black t-shirt. Inola new she had to close her mouth before he saw her. After that was done she walked over to him
"Can I help you with something?" She asked while flashing him a bright smile. He looked up at her "Yeah" he hummed like an old bear in the deepest and by the way most sexy voice, she had ever heard.
"You know the mobs run this side of town" he held a short break "And if you want to run a shop here you have to pay 900$ to keep it here"
It was like somebody just cut the tape rolling in Inola's head, she suddenly didn't think he was that cute any more, or hot for that matter. "What?" she exclaimed.
"Take it as a form of payment for our protection" He hummed. "Oh yeah? And what is this protection against?" she said stubbornly "Against us… look just pay and we won't bother you"…
