A New Life

Chapter 6

Steph's POV

Okay. I just found out that Morelli has a really, and i mean really, bad temper. When I told him about Brittany he blew a gasket. He transformed right in front of my eyes. It was like I was seeing the 17 year old Morelli when his team lost a basketball game. He actually threw a chair. After seeing that I didnt have the courage to tell him that i would be staying with Ranger. So, I decided to get the hell out of there before things started flying at me.

So I drove back to Ranger's building. But not before I stopped at the supermarket to pick up some ben & jerry's for me and Brittany. I went up to the apartment but I didnt find her there so I figured that she was with one of the guys. So I sat down and started eating all the ice cream that I had missed out on while in South Dakota.

Brittany's POV

Mom had left to talk to Morelli and I was stuck here. I had thought that being with her would be more fun. But, I was in a big building. I think it's time for me to explore. Ranger, the wanna be Rambo, had stopped by this morning after mom left and told me that if I wanted to do something that I could go to the control room on the 3rd floor and make one of his guys go with me. I didnt really feel all that mad at him anymore. After all, South Dakota is one of the states that most people know little about.

Anyways, I rode the elevator to the third floor and entered the first door on the right. What I saw scared the shit out of me.

There were about 20 really build, black, white, mexican, and latino guys sitting around a table. right then I knew that I had gotten the wrong room. And what made everything worse, they all turned and stared at me when I opened the door.

"Uh...Sorry," I said sheepishly. "Wrong room."

I closed the door and turned around and once again ran into a brick wall, although slightley smaller. I fell against the door that I just closed. I brushed my hair away from my face and looked up. The guy was gorgeous. There were no other words that could be used to describe him. None, Nada, Kaput.

And do you know what he did. He laughed. Thats right. He laughed at me.

"You Okay." God he even had a sexy voice.

I straightened myself up. "Yeah. I'm Fine."

This guy was like a miniature Ranger.

I decided to introduce myslef. " I'm Brittany Palu. And you are?"

He looked at me as if trying to deside if I could be trusted or what not.

I guess he made his desicion because he replied with a "Diego Manoso."

I almost fainted on the spot. "Any relation to Ranger?"

I was thinking so but I had to know for sure.

"I'm his little brother." I see, I see.

It was silent for a few minutes before a new voice broke the tension.

"What are you doing here Diego?"
