*The picture for this story is what Jen looks like*
I wake up to a blazing headache. What happened last night? Where am I? I propped myself up on the bed, and glanced around. This is not my room, nor is it Jack's room. This room looks a lot like Bobby's room. I froze, and slowly look on the other side of the bed. There was a sleeping Bobby. My eyes go wide, and I cover my mouth. I slept in Bobby's room?! I glance down under the covers, and he had boxers on while I just had a t-shirt on.
I slowly got out of bed, and rushed into Jack's room. He was asleep in his bed with his head burried in the pillow. I shook his body, and he let's out a groan.
"What?!"
"Did I sleep with Bobby?" I asked.
"You slept in his room, if that's what you mean."
"No, did I have sex with Bobby?" He nodded.
"Considering my room is right next to his, and these walls are pretty thick."
"Fuck!" I sat on the edge of the bed.
"Why do you ask?"
"I don't remember what happened last night." I said.
"Well, you were drunk then you came back here and told us about your home life then you fucked my brother." He said.
"What?!"
"Yeah, how come you never told me that story?" I sat at the edge of his bed.
"It wasn't suppose to get out. It was something that I kept in the back of my mind." I confessed.
"I'm sorry for what he did and my brother." I look up at him, and smirked.
"Don't be sorry. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?" He nodded.
I walk into Bobby's room, and sat at the end of the bed. How could I sleep with him? Although he was my youth crush, I didn't want to sleep with him. He was pretty good though.
I turn around to look at him. His sleepy gaze met my eye contact.
"What time is it?" He asked, rubbing his eyes. I glance at my cellphone.
"Nine-thirty." I answered.
"Too early." He grumbled. He turns away, and closes his eyes.
I walked downstairs, and there was Sophie. She looked at me, and smiled.
"Enjoy your time with Bobby?"
"So funny." I walked towards the coffee machine in the kitchen. There was a pot already made, and ready to drink.
"You sounded like you enjoyed it." She said. I poured my coffee and looked at her. " 'Oh Bobby! Go Harder!' "
"I was not that loud?"
"All of Detriot could hear you." I could feel myself blush. She just laughs and continues making breakfast. I can't possibly lead him on like this. I mean I like him but I don't know what I want.
I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. There was Bobby and Angel, fully dressed. I glanced down at my mug filled with coffee.
"Morning Soph," Angel greeted. He kisses her on the cheek, then he glances in my direction. I could tell he wanted to snicker, but he holds it back.
"I think I'm gonna get dressed." I finish off my coffee, and walked upstairs. I opened Jackie's door, and pulled out an outfit for me.
"Hope you don't regret last night." The sound of Bobby's voice causes me to jump. I'm standing in just pants with no bra. I cover my breast, and glared at him. "I'm pretty sure I saw the girls last night."
"You weren't suppose to," I turn my back towards him, and put on my bra. "Last night wasn't suppose to happen."
"Is everything you said last night true." I put my longsleeve shirt on, and looked back at him. I let out a sigh, and nodded. "I didn't-"
"I'm over it now, so don't feel sorry for me." I hear the door close, and I look at him.
"I apologize for whatever I did when I was younger. I didn't know what was going on."
"That's why you should never judge a book, Bobby."
"Look, I don't regret last night and you enjoyed it, even thought you were drunk." I don't know what to think right now. A part of me wants to try things with Bobby, and the other side of me wants to tell him to suck my left nut. I think I want to try it out, but I don't want to get hurt.
"I don't know what I want right now, so give me time."
"How much?"
"I don't know."
"Will this convince you?" He pressed his lips against mine, and pulled away. I look him in his eyes. I felt that feeling once again. Maybe I could be wrong, maybe if I kiss him it'll change it all. I pull him in, forcing our lips to pulled my shirt off, tossing it on the ground.
"Wait this is Jack's room."
"So..."
"We can't have sex in his room?"
"He won't mind." Our lips crashed into each other.
We both put our clothes back on in silence. Maybe I shouldn't ignore the feeling. I opened the door, and Bobby followed.
"You walk down first so they won't suspect anything." He whispered.
"They're gonna suspect something." I answered.
"Just go." I roll my eyes, and walked downstairs. Angel was in the living room with a pissy look on his face.
"What's wrong, Angel?" He looked at me.
"Where's Bobby?"
"What's up, baby bro." He walked down the stairs, as if we didn't just have sex.
"Jerry hasn't been straight with us about that redevelopment project." Angel said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Jerry got involved with some bad people. The city got on him about fraud and what not. They cut his loans off about a month ago. Technically, Jerry's really broke." He informed.
"You think this had something to do with what happened to mom?" Bobby asked with confusion and suspicion.
"No, I'm saying that it's something I think we should look into." Angel told him. "I need y'all to go down and visit this city official named 'll know who Jerry got mixed up with. I'm gonna check on some other stuff."
"Where are you going exactly, Angel?" I questioned.
"Why don't you just tell us what you know Angel?" Bobby ordered.
"I know you to be focused on what happened last time with you and Jen." He teased. "This is going to require a little finesse and given your prier reputation as a hothead."
"I wrote fucking books on finesse!" Bobby said just ignored the comment, and walked out the door.
We hid behind Bobby's car in a parking garage. We've been here for almost an hour, and I'm starting to wonder if this guy is starving himself. Finally, We saw a bald black man wearing a black suit and a red tie walking towards a black Mercedes, holding a briefcase.
"Showtime," Bobby whispered, before walking from behind the car. Me and Jack followed the older Mercer brother. This time, we're gonna let Bobby do all the talking.
"Excuse me, Councilman Douglas?" Bobby asked, causing the man to look in our direction. He became alarmed, but stopped. "I would like to know why you had shut down my brother's project like you did." Douglas waved him off and continued on his way to his car.
"Ask your brother. He was the one dealing with gangsters. We had to shut him down." He answered.
"I know Jerry, Councilman," I spoke out. "And he would never make dealings with no damn gangster!"
"You best stay out of this, miss, if you know what's good for you." Douglas said and turned to open his car.
I feel Bobby nudge me, and I nodded. Jack handed me the gas can, and I began pouring gasoline all over the Mercedes. It was a nice car too, it's too bad that we have to see it go up in flames.
"Councilman, now I'm gonna light your ass on fire! You're gonna make me turn you into the black gingerbread man!" Bobby yelled as he walked up to the driver's side.
I dumped the rest of the liquid on the windshield. I lit a cigarette and took a small drag, then handed it to Jack. He took a drag, and handed it back to me.
"I'll have my little brother here suck your burning dick." He said. I could see Jack frown at the comment, and I just roll my eyes. "Roll down the window." I took a drag, and passed it to Jack. I blew the smoke in Douglas's direction.
"Victor," Douglas told us with much regret. "Victor Sweet."
"What about him?" I asked.
"I don't have much to tell." Douglas said, stalling miserably.
"Don't care. Get to talking!" Bobby threatens. I feel a phone vibrate in my pocket. It was Bobby's phone, and Angel's name on the screen.
"Hello?"
"Where's Bobby?"
"He's kind of busy. What do you want?"
"I need y'all to meet me at the bowling alley now." He demanded.
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you guys when you get down here."
"Alright, We'll see you soon." I said, ending the call.
"Who was that?" Jack asked.
"Angel, We have to go down to the bowling alley." I said.
"What do you think he found?" Jack asked as we waited by the bar for Angel to show up. The three of us sat there for fifteen, scouting out for the middle Mercer brother. I could see Bobby and Jack get worried.
"I don't know. But it's something big if he couldn't wait to tell us at the house." Bobby said, drinking from his beer.
Finally, after waiting for forever, Angel approached us. There were no signs of injury on him, so he's fine.
"What's up Angel?" Jack asked.
"Was that Councilman helpful?" Angel asked.
"Oh yeah, real public server." Bobby said in sarcasm, softly chuckling. "Do you remember Victor Sweet?"
"Yeah, I do." Angel told him solemnly.
"Who is he?" I asked. He turned and pointed towards one of the bowling lanes.
"Do you see that guy?" He asked, ignoring my question. We all looked to see a black man helping his daughter roll the bowl, while his son and wife sat on the chairs.
"What about him?" Jack asked confused.
"Isn't that Evan, one of Jerry's friend's from the union?" I asked. Angel nodded.
"Yeah, He works for Victor."
"You guys are coming up with this pretty quick." Bobby chuckled at Jack's comment.
"We should've been cops." He said.
"Yeah right. We'd get fired on the first day from the way we're finding our information." I commented, snickering at the laughed, and nodded in agreement.
"Holy shit!" Jack had gotten to his feet as he looked across the bowling alley.
Our gazes followed his, causing Bobby to get to his feet with his fist balled up and shaking. There was Jeremiah handing a yellow envelope to Evan. So what Douglas said back at the parking lot was true, Jeremiah have been dealing with gangsters.
"We'll find Jerry later." Bobby said as he watched his brother walk away. "Come on."
The men and I walked away from the bar, and towards Evan. Once he saw us coming his way, he turned towards his family.
"Nice to see you boys, and Jen" Evan nodded at the woman as soon as they stopped before him. "But we were just leaving." Evan held his daughter close to him.
"You ain't going no where." Bobby told him angrily yet calm at the same time. "What were you talking to my brother Jerry about?"
"Just saying hello. Me and Jerry go way back, from the union days. You know that, Bobby." He answered, trying to stay cool.
"Angel tells me you're one of Victor Sweet's boys now." Bobby said, his temper rising.
"You've been gone a long time, fellas. Times change. You still live around here,Jen, you know how it is."
"Yes, I do but that doesn't let you off the hook." I said, crossing my arms.
"What's in the envelope?" Bobby asked, pointing to the envelope in Evan's pocket.
"What envelope?" Evan asked, trying to play innocent as if Jerry didn't just hand him an envelope.
"Oh, you want to play that fucking game with me right now?" Bobby growled. The two brothers step foward and I stepped in front of Bobby. I glanced into the young girl's eyes. She couldn't have been more than twelve years old.
"Y'all gonna do this here?" Evan questioned.
"Right here, right now." Angel told him seriously.
"Give them the envelope, Evan, please." I pleaded, not losing eye contact with the girl.
"Give me the envelope and take a walk." Angel ordered, his face cold and hard as stone. "Now!" He glanced at each and every one of us. He looked at me the longest, and I just gave a pleading look, then I look at his daughter then back at him.
He sighed and pulled the envelope out of his pocket, and handed it to me.
"Thank you." I mouthed.
"Go ahead, Evan. Take the kids home, we'll be seeing your ass again real soon." Bobby told him, sounding like a promise. "Let's go."
Bobby walks away with his brothers not to far behind. I stood there, looking at Evan.
"I wasn't going to let anything bad go down in front of your wife and kids." He nodded.
"He won't stop at nothing, you know." I nodded.
"Yeah, I know." I sighed. "Have a safe night, Evan." He nodded, and I walked out the door to catch the brothers.
