You're the boss/Plans
I gulped down three aspirin on my break, my head hurt from all the inventory numbers. I wanted to just go home and crawl in bed, it was one of those days. That and Roy left about an hour ago leaving me in charge of his crew. God I hated his ass grapping, bad mouthing, woman bashing crew.
"If you don't shut up I'm gunna beat you with a torque wrench!" I yelled into the shop at the laughing men. There was laughter followed by silence, dead silence, the kind that tended to get me in trouble.
"There's a shipment I want picked up and placed in the net, go get it!" Roy's voice echoed though the shop. I blinked he never kicked his crew out of his shop, I set down the box I was carrying then walked out. Roy was sitting on the hood of a car they had been working on, he looked pissed, muscles tensed, and his arms were firmly crossed. I was debating backing back into my little supply room when his eyes landed on me, I wasn't scared of him, I just had a healthy respect for my life.
"I need you to fix something for me." he stated, his voice gliding through the air. I tilted my head and walked over to him, I was playing submissive, he was nicer to me when I did normally it ended up in my favor.
"What'ca need boos man?" I asked, he followed my movement. He never asked for anything he took it, so this threw me off. He reached out and yanked me to him; I was regretting not hiding already. My hands landed on his upper chest and his landed firmly on my ass. We were eye level his eyes were stormy and looked conflicted.
"Talk your girl Mia into selling her shop to me." he ordered darkly, I was shocked this was the first time I heard he wanted Mia's shop.
"Why do you want her shop?" I questioned, she never told me about this and I was starting to get pissed off.
"You don't need to know why, Jiya, just get her to sell it and your debt to me will be gone." The way he said that made me chose right there, I was going to make sure Mia kept her shop, but I needed to stay on his good side.
"Of course you're the boss." I lied. He smiled placing a light kiss on my lips.
"Don't let me down, Jiya or it'll be the last time you do." He growled by my ear, sending chills down my spine.
"Got it." I choked looking down, he smiled evilly at me.
"Now that's that done, how about we take of something of mine hmm." He proposed pulling me closer to his groan. My mind wracked with ideas, it's not that sex with him was bad, but he wanted to take my friends shop away, he had become the enemy, and I didn't do that to family.
"As much as I would love to but I need to go meet up with Letty and Mia, we have to talk about some stuff." I told him planting a soft kiss on his cheek. He rolled his eyes but let me go.
"Get out of here before I change my mind." He growled and I walked out of the shop and to my car. I pulled out of the parking lot and headed over to Mia's shop. If I didn't have enough on my plate before, I did now. I reached the shop in a little under 5min. Letty was working on a car and Mia was managing the shop. I parked before walking in and sitting in front of Mia.
"When were you going to tell me that Roy was trying to buy your shop?" I asked trying to forget about the things I had learned in the past hour. Mia looked at me confused.
"You didn't know?" She questioned and I rolled my eyes.
"No I just found out today when Roy ordered me to try and get you to sell, why the hell didn't you tell me?" I asked as Letty walked in looking between both of us.
"Clam down Jiya." Letty told me and I shot her a glare.
"So what are you going to do?" Mia asked almost afraid of the answer.
"What do you think! Make damn sure you keep your shop, damn it I need a drink." I mumbled angry. Mia smiled at me before reaching over the counter and giving me a hug.
"I'm sorry I ever doubted you." Mia whispered. I blinked surprised before hugging her back.
"Why don't we head back to your place, I can work on the car and you two catch up." Letty offered looking at us.
"You just want to work on the beast." I responded and Mia nodded.
"Well whatever works, I'll close up." Mia stated walking in back. Letty shot me an asking look.
"We have a week to wait." I told her, I had gotten a text from Braga himself on the night we were needed. So for now we just had to sit back and wait for the storm to hit, and the worst part is I could see it coming. Letty nodded before walking to the shop and cleaning off the area she had been working in.
"Lets head out!" Mia called sweetly after about a 20min wait. I smiled at least we had a plan, on what to do. I just needed to find a way to stall Roy
