Part 14 (1/2)

”Denny.” I warned.

”I don't know ask me something.” She said biting on her finger that was surprisingly a huge turn on.

”What do you think of me?” Denny asked.

”I think you're a hottie but you're also a super pig and if you keep using your thing like that, it's going to fall off.”

”Truth girl it is then.” Denny snorted, ”Now tell us about Darcy?”

”What do you want to know?” Olivia said closing her eyes.

”Denny this is not funny.” Although it wasn't a bad idea, maybe I could ask her right now why she didn't want me looking in to her brother's death and I bet she'd tell me. Feeling guilty for even thinking about taking advantage of her drunken state I shook my head away from the thought.

Denny however did not have any such feelings, ”When did you meet Darcy?”

”About a week after Alex died.”

Her answer had my guilt taking a backseat and Denny putting on a serious face, ”How did you meet her?”

”She just walked up to me and Ty introduced herself and I guess we hit it off.”

It may be the alcohol or maybe I was just paranoid but warning bells were going off all over my mind. ”Babe what does Darcy do?”

”Nothing she's a trust fund kid. She spends her time partying and going out of town. Come to think of it, she is as big of a pig as Denny is.”

”Is there any way Darcy could have known Alex?” Mason asked joining the conversation.

”No, they never met but sometimes Darcy says things about Alex that I know I didn't tell her.”

The rest of the ride home was done in silence. Well, kind of Olivia giggled the whole time while I was running through every option that would explain what the h.e.l.l was going on.

By the time we got home I had nothing and I was beyond p.i.s.sed. ”Olivia baby go get ready for bed I'll be up in a minute.”

”Ok but don't keep me waiting long.” Olivia said giving me a seductive look that had me sweating.

I waited till I heard the door shut and her little feet walking across the room. ”I want to know everything,” I said turning to Denny and Mason, ”There is to know about Darcy and I want Olivia out of that apartment.”

”I'll search the database at the office, see if she has a record.” Mason said running his hands over his face.

”Why he does that I'll ask around about her. If people think it's coming from Vinnie they'll talk.” Denny said his hand automatically going to the gun in his shoulder holster.

”And I'll take getting her out of her apartment.” I said feeling like I'd taken the worst job.

”How are you going to do that?” Denny asked giving me a smug look that was just asking to get slapped off.

”I'm going to do it without asking.” I said back just as smug as his smile.

”You're a dead man walking brother.” Denny shook his head laughing.

”We'll see.” How hard could it be? Most of her stuff was here already and the rest could just stay, I'd buy her new s.h.i.+t.

See, easy.

”Right I'm going to the club, Mason you're in charge of those two crazy kids.”

Flipping him off I headed up the stairs to deal with my very drunk Olivia.

”Holy sweet Jesus.” I said out loud hanging onto the door. After the look she'd given me on the stairs I expected to find her half naked on the bed waiting for me, I did not expected her to be half naked and crying. ”Olivia, what's wrong?”

”I was drunk at my parent's house. They know I drink now.” She cried.

”Yeah they do.” I said chuckling, which was the wrong thing to do as she started to cry harder. Ah s.h.i.+t. ”Baby why are you crying?”

”I haven't done anything bad since I was sixteen and they didn't know about that. They know I'm bad now, that's why they're leaving for the next two mouths.”

Sixteen, Alex died when she was sixteen. Sitting on the bed I pulled Olivia into my arms. ”What did you do that was bad baby?” It wasn't taking advantage if she brought it up firstaRight?

”What didn't I do, but he always told me it was fine. But the partyaHe was so p.i.s.sed he blamed Alex but Alex didn't take me I followed him. And then...” Her voice trailed off lost in a sea of tears.

What the f.u.c.k? Who the h.e.l.l was *he' and where had she followed Alex too.

Jumping so violently she almost knocked us both off the bed her red puffy tear soaked face looked up at me, ”I can't be a vet I've never had a pet before what kind of vet doesn't have a pet.”

Where the f.u.c.k did that come from? ”Do you want a pet baby?”

”Yes.” She cried pus.h.i.+ng her head into my neck clinging to me for dear life.

A light knock at the door had me looking up to find Mason staring at me with wide eyes, ”UmmaIs everything ok?”

”I have no idea what is going on.”

”Looks like your girl cries even more than usual when drunk.” Mason said lips twitching trying to hold back his laughter.

Pulling the blanket around her with one hand thinking she'd fallen asleep I started to lay her down.

Nails dug into my shoulders and her head snapped up. ”Mason's broken and won't let anyone love him, Denny is trying to pretend he's not miserable for whatever reason and you Jonah, you're unhappy about something and I can't fix any of you.”

Mason shook his head, ”Guess we're not fooling her.” he mumbled walking away.

Rocking Olivia to sleep I thought about how unhappy I really was. When Olivia first came into my life I was unhappy with the way I'd let me life turn out, now it was getting worse by the day. I loved Olivia more than anything in this world and I was lying to her every day. It was the fear of losing her that had me holding her a little tighter and thinking once again that I had to get out of Vinnie's business before she found out.

Chapter 14.

”Merry Christmas baby.” Jonah whispered his lips traveling down my neck waking me from my dreams. Groaning I threw my arm over my face, last night I'd been like a kid, I was way too excited to fall asleep. Jonah had to get quite creative to finally make me tired enough to sleep but now I was seriously tired. But tired or not I was determined to make this Christmas amazing, so pus.h.i.+ng Jonah off me before we got carried away I got up and got to work on breakfast.

After breakfast we opened presents which I'm not even sure why I wrapped as they all knew what they were getting because the boys had turned paranoid on me and wouldn't let me go anywhere alone so I had to take one of them shopping with me. This was a big mistake as none of them could keep a secret to save their life. However I did manage to surprise Jonah with a new leather jacket and a whole bunch of different tongue rings, Mason a watch and Denny a leather wristband. The boys got me new kitchen stuff, that let's face it was really for them but they more then made up for it with the jewelry and shoes.
