He tried to come closer to me, but I grabbed Conner's gun, pointing it at him. "Marietta." He said and held up his hands and tried to take a step, but I cocked it. "Tell me the truth!" I said and he looked confused. "What truth?" I felt tears coming to my eyes and I held the gun steady. "Tell me if you love me or not! I have to know! No more games, the truth!" I said and he grabbed the gun, pulling me with it to him and held me close. "Of course I love you Marietta." He mumbled against my hair and I let the tears spill over.
He pulled the gun from my hand and sat it down, then pulled me back into the bedroom and back onto the bed. "Why did you act like that?" I whispered and he kissed my forehead and held me against him. "I was surprised, I didn't think you could feel the same about me." he said and I laughed. "How could I not?" I mumbled against his chest and he lifted my face and kissed me.
We stayed like that for a moment, and then I pulled away from him. He looked at me and I shook my head and curled back up against him. "Does it hurt?" he asked suddenly and I glanced at him and saw he was staring at my scar. "Not much anymore." I said and he touched it gently. He kissed it and then kissed me again and I rolled over on him and went to kiss him, but heard whistling.
"Damn…" we both jerked around and saw Romeo smiling at us and Conner just staring. "Why is this always the way I find the two of you after I go off for a while?" he said and I giggled. "Because you don't know how to stay away for longer." I joked and got up, Murphy following after me. He pulled me back to him and we stood there in front of them, Conner shaking his head at us.
I pulled away from Murphy and brushed past the two of them and grabbed my skirt, slipping it on and picking up my belts. I put them back on and Murphy came with the others, now buttoning his pants and he picked up my jacket and tossed it to me. I grabbed it with my hurt shoulder, and then dropped it because of the pain. They all came over and Murphy looked at my shoulder.
"I'm sorry." He said and I shook my head. "I know I shouldn't have tried to grab it with this hand, it's my own fault." I said and stood up. I didn't put my jacket on because it was hot and Murphy pulled on a shirt, even though I was frowning when he did. "Oh come on, you both looked like you had a good enough time together, so cut that shit out." Conner said with a small smile and I walked over to him.
"Aww come on Conner, don't be jealous." I purred and laughed at his face. I took Murphy's hand and hopped onto the table. "So where you guys headed today?" they exchanged looks and then shrugged. "Guys, it's been a while, but I can still read you two like an open book." I smiled at them and Murphy sighed. "We were going to check on a lead, nothing you will want a part of." "I'm already a part of this. My cousin already has paid me a visit, asking questions about the saints." "You didn't say anything did you?" Conner said, walking over.
"Oh yeah, told him who you were, where you were and directions." I snapped and glared at him. Murphy chuckled and kissed my cheek. "No, I didn't, he threatened me, but I took care of them. I can handle myself as you well remember." I explained and Romeo just looked at all of us. "She was apart of the Saints? I don't remember anything about a woman." "I didn't take part of the last hit, but some of the others, I did. After all, it was my uncle they murdered." I said and he looked utterly shocked.
"She is family? What the fuck!" Romeo said and I laughed. "On my mother's side, yeah. On my father's side, I'm the daughter of a major mob boss." He just stared in amazement. "Murphy, where are you guys going?" "Follow a lead." "Can I come?" I asked and looked at him. He turned to Conner and shrugged, Conner sighed and nodded. "I guess, but don't try anything brave." I stuck my tongue out at him when he turned his back to the door and Romeo followed him. "Come on." He said and I slipped into my jacket and gave Murphy a kiss before taking his hand and walking out of the door.
I felt my phone vibrate and opened it to see I had 2 missed calls and 5 text messages. One message was from Eunice, saying that's good and hoping to meet up later to hang out. The rest of the stuff was from Matt. He must have got back and wondered where I could've gone. I put my phone up after I texted him, saying I'm with friends and would probably be home late. We left the bar and started down the street, following Conner wherever he was going.
We walked into a funeral home and Romeo was watching the coast as we looked at the names. Murphy got our attention and motioned us to a tiny picture of Rocco and they prayed and I looked at the picture closely, Rocco didn't really look too happy, he actually looked weird. "Did they use his mug shot?" Murphy asked, looking at the picture too. Conner was still praying, but looked over with us after he finished.
"What? No." he said and Murphy looked closer. "Yeah, remember how he said he was all embarrassed cuz that fella had to hold up all his long hair behind his head." "Yeah?" "That's an arm…" he said, pointing to the picture and I cracked a smile. Then we were all laughing and Conner said, "Rocco!" I heard a phone ring and saw Romeo answer in Spanish.
I turned back to the guys and motioned at Romeo, who hung up and told us that the lead was a guy that was getting a tan at a salon. We hurried over and snuck in, and then Murphy jumped on top of the machine, crushing the guy in it. "What a lovely singing voice there Georgie. We'd like you to sing for us? Can ya do that?" he groaned out a yeah and Murphy hopped off and they pulled him out, shoving him against the wall, holding a gun to each of his hands.
He saw me and smirked, "Hello there." he said and I smiled back and walked over, then had a knife at his cock. "Hey there, let's talk." I said and he gulped. He said he didn't know the name of the shooter for the priest; my cousin did it on his own because he knew no one would OK it. He told us where he was hiding and his phone started ringing. Romeo got it and handed it to me.
I showed the guys and he asked if he was meeting someone, he ratted his own guys out and I pressed my knife harder. "I guess they don't mean a lot to you." I hissed and Romeo said that his uncle's place was closed tonight and he had the keys. Murphy asked how he like Mexican and I smelt shit and he said that he shit his European cuts and I put my knife up.
We got everything ready and I was working with Romeo, taking orders and getting drinks filled. "Hey baby, ever get tired of working here, come see me." one guy said and I gritted my teeth and smiled. "Refill?" I asked and poured his drink. They had me in a mini skirt, tube top and my hair curled around my face in pins. I walked into the back to get more food and Murphy stared me up and down.
"We might need to take this with us." He smirked and I rolled my eyes, grabbing some chips. There was only one more to go and I was reaching my limit. The guy that just walked in grabbed my ass when I came to take his order and I grabbed his balls and squeezed hard. "Hands off." I growled and he hurried to a seat, his friends laughing. I walked to the back and saw what they were painting on his back. I giggled and kissed Murphy's cheek, leaving some lipstick on it. He rubbed it off and Romeo came back, saying they were all here.
He asked for a bb gun and Murphy tossed him one of his, and then tossed me a gun. "You might be better with knives, but unless you are staying back here, you gotta take this." He said and I smirked and tossed it back. "I'll be fine." I said in a you-better-shut-up-now tone.
This outfit is bullshit, but I'm about to bust some ass!
