CHAPTER 55
"No baby, the safety was on the whole time. I never point a loaded unsafe gun at anyone I don't intent to kill; ever." I told her with firmness in my voice.
"And I trust him with my life. Usually he just gives me a dirty look and ignores me. I was in the wrong teasing during this hard time." She said regretfully.
"Do you forgive us?" I asked her hoping that I was pulling off the sad wounded puppy dog look.
"Yes but never do it again while I am in your life. Understand?" she said with her hands akimbo.
"We understand completely, crystal." Both Alice and I said together before we all sat down at the table but as there were only two chairs Bella was sitting on my lap enjoying her fruit and bacon which she would feed me bite of. We were in our own little world, I was so deep in it that I jumped in place as Alice spoke.
"As cute as you two are, and I don't want to break up your happiness. But I think we should find a gun range soon so that you can teach the princess how to shoot and to check how I am doing." she suggested.
"Yes, that sounds like a good plan. Do you want to look up one that we can use and book out the whole thing for two hours?" I told her and she was doing as asked she walked into the other room to call.
"There is one five miles away and I have booked it for the time you wanted but we need to get there by 10 and its 9:30 now."
"Ok let's go see what presents Alice got for us." I said to Bella cheerfully and I lifted her up off my lap and I took her hand to walk over to the suitcase and opened it. I didn't think I just grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of jeans that were sitting on the side on the bad that I could assume was my side from the clothes. I took them and got dressed in the bathroom leaving Bella pawing through the clothes on her side.
Once we were all showered and dressed I walked next to Alice and Bella placing Alice between us. To remove the temptation of holding or kissing the princess in public we were in our territory so anyone could see us and tell the Capo Dei Capi. That would leave Bella alone and myself dead and that word be the possible ending for Alice as well.
I opened the front passenger door for Bella and the back one for Alice. Once in the car I turned so I could see both of the girls.
"Until we are inside the shooting range don't talk to each other or myself. Do as I say and no one will get hurt, physically or emotionally" I told them both and they both said that they understood. So I started the car. "Where am I going Alice?"
