Murphy's P.O.V

Hot! That was one of the words that came to mind when I thought about Billy Darley. Here I was lying in my bed thinking about this annoying, irritating, rude, and arrogant man. But one thing I'd give him he was hot as hell. But that didn't stop me from wanting to kill him. I mean who did he think he was strolling in there wanting to make a deal. Calling me sweetheart thinking I was someone's bitch. Let me tell you I was no one's bitch. And then when I tell him off he kisses me! Like that's going to get him off the hook? Ok I'll admit he was one hell of a good kisser but? That didn't change anything if this was going to work it was going to be a business deal nothing more.

'Hey babe you up yet?' It was Cat, god I loved that girl she was the little sister I never had. She had been around all of this stuff from a young age but her dad had tried to protect her from most of it. Like all his children he didn't get them involved in it. Maybe it was because he wasn't that involved? But I always thought that it was because he wanted better for them he didn't want them forced onto this kind of world. Sometimes I wished my dad had done the same with me. I wouldn't be here now if he had of.

'What's the matter Cat?' I rolled on to my back and stared up at the ceiling. The door opened and in walked Cat with a glass of organ juice.

'I crushed a painkiller and put it in I know how you can never get them down' she handed me the glass and sat down on my bed.

'What would I do without you' I smiled at her. She smiled back but it wasn't her usual smiles this one was forced. I sat up in bed and put the glass on my night stand.

'What's the matter Cat? And don't say nothing, I know when something's up'

'It's about the Darley's' Why can't he leave me alone for two minutes he's been in my head since that night I meet him and now he's everywhere.

'What about them?' I sighed it was getting frustrating.

'I'm worried about you, I don't trust him, I mean what if he try's something what about Robert-

'He's not going to try anything; I've told him I don't mix business and pleasure'

'What if he tries to overpower you? What then? I don't want you getting hurt'

'He's not going to try anything like that and he knows that it won't work'

'But what if it does he-

'It's not going to work do you hear me! I don't want you worrying about something that's not going to happen'

'It's madness you don't need him and his gang your powerful enough without him you're playing with fire'

'Look it's good to have allies if things go down and you don't have to worry I won't get burnt' I tried to give her a reassuring smile.

'Now you said Darley's? I suppose it's about the runt?' I grabbed my cigs and lit one.

'He's not a runt...He's cute and sweet...and he didn't stare at my boobs when he was talking to me' I exhaled.

'Maybe he's gay?' she grabbed one of my pillows and hit me again and again. We were both laughing when I finally managed to get it of her.

'Seriously though, he seems sweet and I want a good guy, I'm tired of the bad boys there too much work' I started laughing.

'Are you listening to yourself? He's part of a gang he isn't one of the good guys'

'Well he's as close to it as I'm going to get in this life'

'You could have done so much more you know that? You still could-'

'Hey I'm not doing bad for myself, I'm the manager of one of the biggest clubs in north Boston'

'You could of done something more meaningful gone to college got a job that actually helps people'

'I help people every day just there yesterday Paul needed help on what to get his wife for her birthday'. I had to laugh, that was one thing I loved about my baby cousin she always saw the bright side of things and was always worrying about other people. She really was wasted here.

'I'm sure you do, what time is it?'

'12, I thought you could do with some rest you were up pretty late last night'

'Did I drink a lot because I can't remember much?'

'A bottle of vodka on your own and some shots of jack but don't worry you didn't do anything bad...well you told Billy to come back tonight and prove he was god then you went back to your office and collapsed'

'Oh god he's going to be there tonight isn't he?'

' Better shave your legs and trim the jungle'. She was smiling and winked at me and walked out of my room. I through my pillow at the door and collapsed back onto my bed. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with him.
