I arrived back at the apartment "safely" to I'm pretty sure the boss's approval. I was trying to sneak in quietly but Roldofo was sitting on the couch waiting for me. 'Maybe if I just go through the window and,' my own thoughts were cut off by him speaking. "I know you're in here, now we need to have a talk," he said with a serious tone. I hate it when he gets serious; it's kind of scary and intimidating. "Fine," I said walking to where he was sitting.
"Now, Kiera. What in the world were you doing with that man," he asked me with a serious tone looking me in the eye. The apartment was quiet and empty. It didn't feel like there was any other living soul in here. "I was working for him," I said to him in serious tone looking him straight in the eyes making sure no other emotions showed through my face or eyes. "Was," he said, "Looks like you still are. Why exactly would you be working for a man in purple suit?" I said in honesty, "We needed the money! We were not going to be able to pay rent on time; we had to get it somehow! We would have been late again and possibly kicked out!"
"Kiera, you didn't have to do anything like that. I mean I know how we are, having a dark side an all, but that still doesn't give you an excuse. You know you are a smart girl and that's why you are going to stop working for him. Is that understood," he said that last few words in a stern tone. I just sat there quietly contemplating everything in my head. He raised an eyebrow, "I said is that understood," he said leaning forward towards me more. I started leaning back when he was doing that, "Gosh! Okay fine! It's understood. I will stop working for him, always ruining the fun."
He laughed at that, "He is interesting and seems like our kind of person, in a messed up way, but still, no working for him." I just stared at him; he spoke again, "Kiera, you are my only sister. You are what will actually keep the bloodline going. And I will be damned if anything ever happened to you. When mom passes away, you will be the only thing that we'll have that close to her." I sighed, "I know, but y'all know I can protect myself." He was going to start speaking again when his phone rang. He got up and answered, this gave me time to go to my room and change.
Of course I was listening to what he was saying, "Good morning." I started to put on a black turtle neck. "Yeah, she's here," I put on a dark pair blue boot cut jeans. "No need to worry, there's not a scratch on her," I started buttoning on my favorite pair of jeans. I then put on a pair of biker boots. "Yes, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't mind. You can, it's okay," he said in calm and assuring tone. I started walking out of my room with Sasha following behind me, "Kiera can you come over here." I walked to him, "Yes," I asked him as I noticed he had his hand covering the phone. "It's Bruce, he wants to talk to you and see if you are okay." I gave him a weird look with a small smile, "Uh, okay."
I grabbed the phone and put it to my ear, Roldofo walked off to his room. "Yes," I said more as a question. "Oh, thank God, Kiera," I heard a velvet like voice say on the other line with happiness and relief in it, "Are you okay?" I smiled a little, "Yes, I am, perfectly fine," I said to him to assure I was indeed A-Okay. "I'm so happy to hear that. He didn't do anything to you, did he," he asked serious with a little bit of protection seeping in his tone. "No, he didn't. I'm fine, I promise," I said again feeling awkward about how a man is worried about me who isn't blood related. "Good, how did you get away," he asked a bit curious. I replied to him, "Something about having no use for me," I lied to him. "What, you are pretty useful, but I'm glad he didn't keep you or do anything to you. But, I have to see you for myself to see that you are okay. I'm coming over," my mouth fell open and then Roldofo took the phone from me. "Hey, it's me. Yeah, yeah, she's fine with it. Yes, goodbye," Roldofo said into the phone then hung up.
"Don't wait up, oh wait, you have to! I'm going out," Roldofo said with a devious smile. "What the fuck man," I said in annoyed tone. Roldofo grabbed his keys and as he walked out of the apartment door, "Pay backs a bitch."
"Hey boss," Dan said to me through the phone. "Hello," I said to him waiting for what I actually wanted to hear, licking my lips. "Oh yeah, she got home perfectly safe. So did you like the song," he asked me with an amusing tone. I just stood there with a look on my face like, "You have to be kidding me?" I stood there with the gun in my hand pointing at one of Maroni's men.
"It was…interesting," I said starring at the man knelt before me. "You sure she is okay, she seemed very affectionate today," I said to Dan still wondering why I care too much. Dan started talking but all I heard was, "Please I didn't mean it," I put the phone down and said, "Shut the hell up, I'm trying to listen to someone," I said extremely aggressively. The man jumped back and started crying some more. "Sorry Dan, can you say that again," I said to him chewing on the inside of my cheek.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I promise," I sighed in aggravation. "You fucking idiot," I said to him getting in his face. "You cannot stay quiet for one minute," I said pissed off pushing the gun to his forehead. "Come again," I said to Dan as I pulled the trigger blood splaying on my clothes and face. "I said she was perfectly fine. A bit happier than usual," Dan said to me not caring I just killed someone. "Oh, well, that's good," I said making a motion to one of my men to get rid of the body.
I unlocked the door since I knew Mr. Wayne was coming over. I was sitting on the couch in the living room just listening to music and Sasha was laying on the arm rest. I was just thinking about everything that is going on in my life. 'I still can't believe I…' I shook my head. Sasha purred at me and turned her head upside down, "Hmmm, thanks Sasha," I said letting her.
I heard knocking on the door, "Come in," I said to the man behind the door. He came in a little rushed but still at a slow pace. The brown hair man knelt in front of me and grabbed my face looking at me, "I'm so glad you are okay," he said to me searching my body and face with his eyes. I put my right hand on his left hand, "I said I was fine." He then started petting Sasha, "She looks like you, and you're sure he didn't do anything to you?" I laughed, "We get that a lot, and I'm positive nothing happened." Bruce sighed again and sat next to me and I could feel him relax.
I sat there relaxed, which I haven't felt in a long time listening to her music. "You look extremely tired," she said to me studying my posture. 'How can I not, I was freaking looking for you everywhere,' I thought to myself. "Oh, sorry," I said sitting back up. "Not at all," she said pushing me back to the way I was sitting, "You can take a nap." I looked at her with a weird expression, "I'm okay." She then looked at me still studying me, "Well take a breather then," she said as she put her feet on the coffee table. I did the same thing.
I woke up with my arms folded on my stomach. 'Shit, I feel asleep,' I thought to myself rubbing my face. I looked at a clock that was hanging to see it was after twelve. I saw Kiera sitting across from me reading a book that said "Herbs," I couldn't make out the rest of the title, she looked up at me. "Ah, you are awake," she said to me and then went back to reading the last part of what I guess was paragraph and closed the book. "Yeah, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you like that. I guess I just got to comfortable," I said to her I stood up and stretched. "Nonsense, that's exactly what I wanted you to do," she said to me with a victory smile. "You knew if I saw you relaxed I would get like this," I said actually impressed by her. "Mmm hmm," she said walking to where I was standing. "You are a smart young lady," I said to her she just gave me a 'duh' look.
"Do you want to go grab a bite or something," I asked her wondering what she would say. "Sure, it's the least I can do since you came to check on me. Oh, and I am not changing into some silly little dress or heels," she said walking pass me to the door. "You perfectly fine to me," I said to her and how she isn't like any other woman I've been with. 'She does not give a damn of what others think of her, and kind of ignores what I do and think of her. I like it,' I thought to myself as I walked behind her as her hips swayed to the rhythm of her steps.
When we stepped out of the apartments and started walking to my car. A man started wooting at her and saying all these foolish things to her. I was about to say something when she yelled at him, "Fuck off you damn prick. Next time you do that, I'm coming over to you and touch you with my damn fist!" I laughed as the man starred shocked at what she was saying to him. 'She can definitely take care of herself,' I thought to myself impressed. She felt me starring at her, she just smiled at her as I opened the passenger's side for her, "Thank you," she said with her sweet voice. "Anytime," I replied back to her making my way to the driver's side.
I sighed in delight, "I'm finally home," I said to myself when I made it to my room. I had a really long day with Bruce, we went out to eat and then just took a walk around the park. We didn't notice how much time had passed of just sitting in silence and speaking about random stuff. It was really nice to get a break from everything. I started changing into my pajamas when my phone rang.
"Hello," I answered waiting to hear the other person on the line. "Good evening, I have a job for you to do with me tomorrow," the nasally voice said. I stood there silently as my faced dropped and my heart started to pang a little. "Kiera," he said his tone a little concern, "Are you going to do the job?"
I still didn't hear an answer on the other side of the line. I was just waiting for a sweet honey like voice to answer my question.
