"I know, it won't babe! But I think the job is too dangerous for you. I'll have somebody else doing it."
Grrrrrrrrrrr "Who?" Don't say the wrong thing BATMAN!
"Jeanne Ellen"
WRONG ANSWER!
Oh, he's so gonna get it!
He's so gonna get it
Just when I was trying to decide how to kill Ranger, Joe came back. His face mirrored my mood.
"I have to go. We WILL talk. Soon!" And he was off. Was that a treat? Or a promise?
But back to the little BAT in front of me.
He was looking at me with his blank face. Oh, I hate when he does this. I narrowed my eyes at him and growled "And why do you think that the also perfect Miss CATWOMAN can do a job, that is to dangerous for ME?"
Ranger smiled his almost smile. Oh GREAT, back to being entertainment, are we?
"What do you want to do about the car, babe?" Did he just ignore me?
"I don't think that, that's any of your concern." I whirled towards the door. And there he stood. My knight. Steve.
"Hey, how are you? Is everything O.K.?" He walked towards me, bent down and kissed me softly on my lips. Than sat down beside me on the sofa and laid one arm around my shoulder. I looked at Ranger.
He was sitting there with his blank face on, but I could see, that he was angry. His eyes were nearly black and his breathing wasn't as calm as normal.
But when he spoke his voice was totally cool. "You need a car, babe! How about we tried it with another Porsche?"
"I don't think your father would like you drive a Porsche, kitty! It isn't American and besides I have a new Ferarri Cabrio waiting for you.!"
"An Italian car?"
"Yes, come on you will love it! And you're father will be all over me for giving it to you!"
With that he stood up and pulled me out of the room.
"But Ranger……"
"Come on, kitty, I don't have much time."
With that he showed me out of the door and into the elevator.
Ranger will kill me. But than I remembered what I had been angry for and I as glad, we left!
Hah, take that BATMAN!
It was morning again. Yesterday had been pretty uneventful after the fire. I now drove a brand new, Ferrari F430 Spider. The interior was full, black leather and the outside was black with green flames and "Kitty" written on it. This car was the shit!
I didn't really want to take it, but Steve said it was a compensation for all the presents I didn't get from him.
O.K., I wouldn't argue with him.
Besides, he only laughed, when I told him, that the car maybe wouldn't last long, and said that he would already order another car.
I warned him right.
Otherwise there wasn't anything special, my mother was ironing, my grandma was happy to have new gossip to tell at the beauty parlor and there were already new bets out, if I would get back at the Buick.
Hehe, not gonna happen! I had the car of all cars, now.
I was dressed in a pair of tight black jeans and a turquoise top. I also wore a pair of new sunglasses and a new cap telling "Caution-Very Hot".
I sat in the car and removed the roof, it was sunny and I wanted everyone to see me. I started the engine. The Ferrari purred like a cat and I slid Eminem in the player.
I drove out of my lot and sped to the office.
I parked my car directly behind Ranger's black Mercedes. His care looked cheap against the Ferrari. Ha! I had a better car than BATMAN!
I looked up per button and the roof slid back up automatically. I loved this car.
I sashayed into the office. Ranger was sitting in a chair across from the desk, his arms folded in front of him, looking a little bit annoyed but hot as ever.
Lula, Connie and Vinnie were staring from me to the Ferrari and back, mouths hanging open.
"Hey, everyone. What is it you wanted Vinnie?"
Vinnie looked at me, totally confused. "Huh?"
"You called me and said that I need to come. Why?"
"Oh, yes. Sit down. I have a problem with the skip!"
I took the other free chair, mirroring Ranger's position.
"Antonio Mortanelli disappeared and is now FTA. He also has problems with "The Family" and I sort of promised my father-in-law that we would find him." Vinnie's father in law was a famous person on "The street", he was also famous for solving problems. This solving usually involved blood. And he was Italian, so he has connections to "The Family".
"I want you two to look after him. Since it's risky and complicated, because we wouldn't send him to court, but to my f-i-l, each of you will get 15 percent, which means 150 thousand each."
!50 thousand Dollar! The shoes and Donuts I could buy for this amount flickered before my eyes. But wait, I would have to cooperate with Ranger.
I looked at him and he looked back at me. Our eyes hold and we both turned towards Vinnie and nodded.
"Perfect, Connie give them the files. Oh, and Steph, I heard, that Steve is here. Is that right?"
"Yep" "Wonderful. Could you arrange a meeting between us four. He has connections in Italy, that we might have to use."
I already had my mobile in my hand. " When?"
"As soon as possible!"
I dialled. He answered after the second ring.
"Hey kitty, missing me."
I had to smile. "Always! Listen we need your help with a job. Could we meet?"
"Who is WE?"
"Vinnie, Ranger and me!"
"I guess Ranger is the Army-guy I met yesterday!"
"Hmm"
"O.K., what's with tonight, 9 o'clock?"
I looked at Ranger and Vinnie "tonight, nine o'clock?" They both nodded.
"Yep, should we meet at the "Cloud7"?"
"What kind of music?"
"Latin"
"Yes, how about I already pick you up at seven, so that we have a little bit time for us before."
"Yeah, that would be great!"
I put the mobile away. Ranger handed me the file. He had already looked through it. "I want you to talk to the girlfriend and the mother, I will take the brother and his employees."
I nodded. "I will see you tonight." I smiled at Lula and Connie and went out of the office.
I sat in my hottie and cruised out to find a few bad guys.
I was standing down in the entrance- hall at point seven. And again I had managed to dress perfectly. I wore a blood- red dress that was short and had a V-neck. It fitted perfectly.
I had been back home at 5.30 and I had been lucky today. I had caught tree bad guys and had gained three- thousand dollars.
I think it was the car. I'm Wonder Woman now.
Steve dove into the car, sitting in a bloody-red Lamborghini. I got in and he smiled.
"You know kitty, it's nice that you dress similar to my car, so everyone will notice, that cou belong to me."
"Steve, I belong to nobody."
He sight. "I know, Stephanie, I didn't mean it like that. I'm neither Dickie nor your Italian
ex-boyfriend, so keep cool."
"You've heard about Morelli."
He smiled, "I met your grandma, today. She's just as funny, as I remembered. I'm invited for dinner on Saturday. Anything against it?"
I had to smile, too. "No, I'll like to be there with you." Steve always had had a way with my family. They loved him and he liked them.
Steve stopped in front of the "Cloud7", we got out and he handed the key to a man, who parked the car.
We went in and sat down, but not for long. After a few minutes we were at the dance floor, hips moving together…..
I had my leg around his hip and he bend me down, so that my hair reached the floor. After that he whirled me out of his arms and back in, with my back crushed to his chest, his arms tight around me and his lips at my ear.
"Your friends are here, come, let's join them."
I looked at my clock, 9 o'clock. I looked at our table. Ranger, Vinnie, Connie and Lula were sitting there. My first thought was "why are Lula and Connie here?", my second "Ohoh, Batman is not looking happy."! Hehe!
We approached the table and by the look of Connie and Lula, we had to look pretty good together. Or maybe they were still in a trance from seeing us dancing together.
We reached the table and I introduced everyone. There was only one seat left beside Ranger and one opposite of him, beside Lula. Steve soled the problem by sitting next to Lula and pulling me into his lap.
Ranger's eyes darkened another inch and Lula and Connie seemed even more dazed.
While Vinnie told Steve about Antonio, I tried to look at Steve through Connie's and Lula's eyes. He looked gorgeous in his black tux, made by Armani, his hair was falling perfectly and his eyes were shinning as green as I loved it. He moved his lips to my ear. "Kitty, maybe you should listen, too. Don't you think."
I blushed and buried my head in his neck, but I listened to Vinnie.
"……and I thought, that maybe you two could ask around a little bit. I mean now, that you're back together, you sure will go to parties and brunches and stuff like that."
I looked at Ranger. He had his blank face on, but I saw regret and rage in his eyes. Batman didn't like this information, huh? Well he had Catwoman and I had the GQ-Man.
Review, please! I'm gonna take it slow with this one, now! I crave to write sth. following EoT. What do you think?
But this one will be finished. I promise!
