Jillian decided to lay in her bed as she heard Connor and Murphy leave. She knew they weren't be home for at least two hours and she was glad for the alone time. She needed to process everything that was happening to her. Her ex was coming to get her and she was sure he was going to try and kill her. Her brother's best friends were the Boondock Saints and he was their gun supplier. Now she had to live with them to keep her nieces safe. She laid in her bed for a while then decided to take a shower to relax.

Murphy jogged up the stairs to the second floor of their house. He reached the top stair and stopped directly in his tracks. Their bathroom was straight ahead of him. Jillian was in the shower and had left the bathroom door open. Their shower door was completely see through. Murphy and Connor had come home early, not wanting to leave her alone for too long. Murphy stood, completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

She was standing sideways, her eyes closed and she was holding her hair up as she washed it. The shampoo scuds were slipping down her back. His eyes took in her entire naked form. She turned to faced the water, still keeping her eyes closed. He felt like he couldn't move as she tilted her head back, letting the water hit her in the neck. It wasn't until he heard Connor's voice that he rushed forward and quietly closed the bathroom door, praying she hadn't opened her eyes. He leaned against the bathroom door with his eyes shut. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down but images of her wet naked body were flashing through him.

Jillian turned off the water and opened her eyes. She frowned as she started to wring her hair out. The bathroom door was shut and she could have swore she had left it open. She hated it when the bathroom got fogged up. She shook her head as she reached out of the shower and grabbed a towel. Her mind was so screwed up she couldn't even remember if she had left the door opened or closed.

Jillian came into the kitchen to find Connor looking out of the window to the back yard. She peered around him and saw Murphy sitting on the back stairs, smoking. She patted Connor's shoulder who said hello to her. She moved to the fridge and took out a coke. Since the boys didn't have anything other then beer, she had went grocery shopping as soon as she moved in.

" Murph's on his fourth smoke in a row and he's downed three beers." Connor said.

" What's wrong with him?" She asked as she came to Connor's side.

" I don't know. He came rushing down the stairs when we got back so pale I thought he was going to be sick. He grabbed the beers and that was it." He said.

" I didn't expect you guys to be home so early. I would have started lunch." She said.

" We didn't think you should be alone for long." Connor said as he looked at her. She smiled at him then moved away to start getting lunch ready.

" I would have been fine." She said. Connor turned away and moved the counter so he could lean against it.

" Can you fire a gun?" He asked.

Murphy put his smoke out and cracked open another beer. It was lunch time and he knew he was going to have to go in sometime but he wasn't ready to face her. He was sure it was going to show on his face that he had seen her naked. He put his hand in his hair and pulled it slightly. When he let his hand drop, his hair was sticking up.

" You gonna just smoke and drink the day away?" Connor asked as he walked outside. Murphy sighed then took a long drag from his smoke. " What's wrong with you?" Murphy glanced behind him and saw the door was shut. He looked straight ahead and sighed.

" I saw her in the shower." He said.

" What?" Connor asked.

" Jillian was in the shower when we got home, she left the door open." Connor started to laugh then.

" You shitting me, right?" He asked. Murphy shook his head then took another drink. " How'd she look?"

" Fucking hot." He said.

" If she looked hot then why you out here acting all depressed?" Connor asked. Murphy shook his head and looked at his brother.

" How the fuck am I supposed to face her now?" He asked. Connor grinned and took the beer from Murphy.

" Well, you saw her naked, it's only fair that she gets to see you naked now." The door behind them opened then. Murphy closed his eyes as Connor looked back at her.

" So I made lunch, you guys coming?" Jillian's voice came to him.

" Be there in a second, Love. Fellas got to talk for a few." Connor said. She smiled at him then went back inside and shut the door.

" I can't even look at her." Murphy said as his head dropped. Connor put his hand on his brother's back and patted it.

" Could have been worst." He said. Murphy looked at him.

" How?"

" Well, this whole time you've been watching her with her clothes on, wanting her, wondering what she looked like naked. Now you know and you can thank God that she's hot. What would you have done if you got her naked in her bed and she was ugly under her clothes?" He asked. Murphy shook his head and frowned as he looked away.

Through lunch, Jillian noticed Murphy wouldn't look at her. She tried to talk to him but only got one word answers from him. She frowned and finally gave it trying. She didn't notice the look that went through the twins, didn't notice Connor trying not to laugh and Murphy giving him the death stare. After lunch, she cleaned up the plates while Murphy went out to finish checking over her car. Connor took her to a shooting range to teach her how to shot and to give Murphy a break from his embarrassment.

Jillian worked that night and Murphy ignored her when they got to the bar. He muttered thanks when she handed him his beer. Then he turned his back to the bar and walked away. She didn't understand his behavior and was upset with him. She knew he knew she liked him now because of what Lillian had said and figured he didn't like her in return. She was a little mad at him but she understood she couldn't make him like her. But she didn't understand why he felt he had to treat her the way he was.

When she pulled up to their house, she sat back and sighed in her car. She stared at her brother's dark house and wanted nothing more then to go there. She didn't want to face Murphy and his attitude. She shut the car off and got out. She decided just to go in and go right to bed. She was just going to stay away from him.

Murphy was sitting on the couch with one arm across the back of the couch and a beer in his free hand. Connor had passed out as soon as they had gotten home and he wanted to stay up to make sure she got in fine. She walked in and paused at the doorway as they looked at each other. He fought himself to not let his eyes flow down her body. He forced himself to look away from her. Jillian sighed and frowned then.

" What the fuck is your problem?" She snapped. Murphy frowned and looked at her again.

" What?" He asked.

" What the fuck did I do to you to make you hate me?" Jillian asked. He dropped his arm from the couch to his lap.

" I don't hate you." He said. She came forward then and dropped to the couch beside him.

" Then why the hell have you been ignoring me and treating me like shit? I didn't ask you guys to get involved with this. You choose to get involved. You and your brother have taken over my life since I told you about my ex. You moved me in here, you follow me around, I didn't ask for any of this so you can just knock off this stupid fucking attitude you have with me." She snapped. Murphy looked away and sighed. When he didn't say anything for a few minutes she shook her head and stood up. " You know what, fuck you, Murphy MacManus."

" I saw you naked today." He said as he closed his eyes.
