"What?' he asked knowing full well what I was red at
"D-don't you feel weird touching that stuff?' I asked softly looking at the floor
He chuckled and came closer and pulled me into his arms.
"Anything for you Royalty." he whispered then took up his phone again and left me
I went down about twenty minutes after he left me. The cramps had gotten worst and it was hard to move so I had to walk slowly. Cindy made me hot tea and I felt a little better after drinking it. I laid down in the sitting room with my feet on the couch and my back on the ground. It was the only way to lessen the pain a little. By mid day I was a little better and went into the kitchen and met Jennifer. I ignored her and went into the fridge but she knew I was on my period and seized that opportunity to torment me.
"What makes Xavier like you?" she said loudly as she looked at me
I ignored her and continued fishing for the whip cream.
"Is it the looks or the slutty way you dress?" Jennifer went on "You wear short clothes and they say nothing but when I do I'm classed as a slut. What makes you so better?"
"The way you behave." I turned to her and said softly "You're a little common Jenn. That's why they say you're slutty."
She raised he hand and a loud stinging sound echoed in the kitchen.
"You're not better than me Royalty! Back away from Xavier! He's mine. He only wants you for your body and when he's done he comes back to me when he gets what he wants." Jennifer said coolly "Why do you think he's spoiling you now."
I looked down at the ground and tears started falling.
"Weak, silly girl!" Jennifer scoffed then walked out
My face stung from her slap and her sharp nails gave me a long claw mark on my cheek. I wanted to cry. I was fighting my demon to lash out at her and trying to control my temper was hard. It meant getting hurt and having myself esteem broken by a girl who was jealous of me. I ran out the kitchen and up to my room to cry.
Xavier's POV
"Where's the $20000 you had for us?" I yelled at the man as I held him by his throat in an alley "You're owing over $190,000 and yet you can't pay the same debts."
"Please forgive me." the man in my hands, called Dale, begged as he tried to pull my hand away and he chocked for breath
"Let him loose a little." Chrissy said and I let him go completely
"Really Dale? You owe a lot and you've lost some of our girls." Geovanni folded his arms "Cough up what you owe now."
"I can't." Dale coughed and rubbed his throat "My wife stole all the money."
"Where is she?" Jianan demanded
"In a hotel downtown." Dale answered huskily "She took my three-year-old daughter, Rosella, with her. We had a fight and she said it was better if I die. Please, kill me but take my daughter to repay my debts."
"Is that really what you want?" I asked not wanting to kill an innocent man but it was clear he was suffering enough.
"Please." Dale begged "Take Rose and kill me."
I turned to Geo.
"Find the girl and bring her to the mansion." I ordered and Geovanni left and I turned back to Dale and raised my gun "I won't kill you. I'll let you live. Rosella will cover your debts. Good bye amico."
I walked off leaving him and the others followed. We had reached another block when there was the sound of gunshots and we turned around.
"Dale!" Jianan ran back
Chrissy and I followed Jianan back to the alley where we were. Dale was lying in a pool of his own blood which was splattered all over the walls.
"Swedish." Cristiano said picking up a loose bullet
"Dam them!" I clenched my fists
I felt another presence and turned around to face a Swedish man pointing a gun at me. I shook my head and looked at the masked man.
"Shoot if you dare." I tested him
The man pointed his gun at my heart but I didn't move. I walked closer and the man froze. I was soon face-to-face with the killer and as he was about to pull the trigger my fist mad contact with his face knocking him down. I walked over to the gun which he had and as he felt his jaw I put the gun under my foot and swept it backwards sending the gun to Cristano.
"Fight me." I said to the man and he stood up and made a swing for my face and soon we were in a fight in which he was losing.
I swung him another one in his jaw and before he could swing for me he had a blow to his stomach. He fell down and his face had several cuts and scratches. I looked at him and soon heard a gunshot and the man's body went motionless. I turned to Jianan.
"The bullet was a shocker Mr. Gangster." Jianan grinned "Let's go before he wakes up from the shock."
I nodded and wiped a little blood from my mouth and went walked back to the club. We got home about half an hour later and Geovanni showed us the little girl who was coloring on the ground with Hinako. She had Dale's thick brown hair and eyes and she didn't seem too scared when Cristiano went over to talk to her and told her that her parents left her in our care. I looked around for Royalty but didn't see her. I hope she was better. She came down a few seconds later but didn't stop and went straight into the kitchen and I knew something was wrong and the boys sensed it too. Neveah came down and greeted us.
