Part 15 (1/2)

”Haven't you ever heard opposites attract, I mean that would explain you and Olivia.”

”You're kind of a b.i.t.c.h Darcy.”

”And you're kind of a d.i.c.khead.” She shot back.

”You don't like me Darcy, why?”

”Because I know people like you Jonah and you're all bad news.” She hissed.

”People like Alex Rees?”

Her eyes flashed and her hand went to the necklace around her neck. ”Yeah I knew Alex,” she said looking me straight in the eyes, ”Now knowing that, is it so hard to believe I would do anything to stop his baby sister from making the same mistake he made?”

Holy f.u.c.k was she following a deathbed wish from Alex? If so that didn't explain the phone call.

Shaking her head at me Darcy scooted out of the booth, ”Tell Olivia I went home with some guy, she'll believe it.”

What the h.e.l.l had just happened I went from thinking Darcy was an evil little b.i.t.c.h out to get my girl to kind of feeling bad I'd called her a b.i.t.c.h. In the weeks since the phone call from Alex, Mason had found nothing and everyone Denny had talked to had never heard of the girl, we were back where we started with nothing to go on except knowing the call came from their apartment.

Finding Olivia quickly on the crowded dance floor as I hadn't really taken my eyes off her all night I leaned my chest into her back and slide my hands up her bare thighs pus.h.i.+ng her short dress higher.

Olivia spun around fast her little fists ready to hit whoever had touched her.

Giving me that cute scrunched up face of hers she slapped me on the chest making me laugh, ”Not funny Jonah I almost hit you.”

”You did.” I said rubbing my chest.

”Aren't you supposed to be working?”

”I am it's my job to make sure the party goers are utterly satisfied with their experience at Club Risk and I know this party goer would not be satisfied with her Club Risk experience if a s.e.xy co-manger didn't show her some attention.”

”You think Denny is s.e.xy?” She asked lips twitching.

”Ah, funny girl tonight! Well funny girl I was going to wait till tomorrow morning but I think I want my answer now.”

”Yes I will move in with you but I'm keeping my room at the apartment just for now.”

I could live with that answer for now. ”Want to seal our deal with a kiss?”

”I would love to.” Olivia whispered.

My lips were an inch from hers when Denny pulled me back, ”Vinnie's here and he's more p.i.s.sed than I've ever seen him before.”

A quick look at Vinnie storming into the offices I could see the rage rolling off of him from all the way across the club.

Without a word I took Olivia's hand and went in search of Mason, I was not about to let Olivia stay in the club with a p.i.s.sed off Vinnie around.

Finding Mason dancing with a girl that was thankfully not his type I whispered quickly in his ear, ”Vinnie's here and he's in a really bad mood I need you and Olivia out, now.”

Nodding Mason quickly apologized to the girl and walked off the floor with Olivia and I.

”Jonah what's going on?” Olivia snapped pulling me to a stop.

”Baby something's going on Vinnie's here, I can't really explain right now. I need you to go home with Mason.” Olivia got an unreadable expression on her face but nodded her head.

”Thank you.” I said giving her a light kiss on the mouth that she didn't return. Sighing heavy, I shook my head, ”I'll let you out the back way.”

At the back door Olivia looked at me with disappointment all over her face, ”I feel like I should tell you to be careful.”

”I will baby.” I said kissing her hand, ”Go.”

Once Olivia and Mason were out of sight I went to the office.

Vinnie was sitting behind Denny's desk staring at a s.h.i.+ny sliver gun in the middle of the desk.

Not just any gun my gun. I'd been keeping it in the glove compartment of my car since Olivia started staying at the house. So how the h.e.l.l had Vinnie got it?

”Before I get to the real reason I'm here, Jonah why don't you tell me why your gun is in your car and not on you?” Vinnie asked his voice as cold as ice and his midnight eyes sending fear straight to my veins.

”I must have forgotten it in the car.”

”You want out so it's ok for you to lie to me is that it?” f.u.c.k. ”Keep lying to me Jonah and I'll make it so you never get out. Your father made the mistake to lie to me once, the lesson I taught him made sure he never did it again.”

Anger replaced the fear and only Denny's hand on my shoulder kept me from saying something that would have got me killed.

”What's going on Vinnie?” Denny asked shooting me a look that said shut up and calm down.

Standing Vinnie straighten his light grey suit ”Max's boys were supposed to pick up a s.h.i.+pment at the ranch.” Max's boys were the dealers and the ranch was a ranch style house that sat on a hundred acres of land outside of town where drugs were delivered and stored. Vinnie didn't like us mixing. Max and his dealers were meant to take care of any problems with the drugs just like we were meant to take care of any money problems. If Vinnie was asking us to help with a drug problem that meant it was bad. ”The s.h.i.+pment never made it to the ranch. I want the s.h.i.+pment back or I want the heads of whoever took it and I want it now.”

Denny and I started to leave the office ready to go on a blind treasure hunt when Vinnie banged on the desk.

That effing gun was going to get me killed.

Turning back I grabbed the gun, lifting it up Vinnie's hand bone crus.h.i.+ngly gripped around my wrist, ”I advise you to remember you still work for me.”

Staring at me with cold dead eyes, the line was clear Vinnie was going to make me pay.

Chapter 15.

It was the first day of the New Year and I was starting off my new year as p.i.s.sed as all h.e.l.l.

I was sent home like a child last night well before midnight, I was angry but Jonah's body language and the way he was acting told me something was going on and he didn't need to worry about me while he did whatever the h.e.l.l he had to do. However Jonah rushed me out so fast I forgot to tell Ty and Darcy I was leaving, thankfully Darcy had left with some guy but Ty had been left alone and he was now beyond p.i.s.sed at me.

When midnight finally came I didn't even get a call or text from Jonah, he was probably busy so my anger level was left on low.

But then this morning when I woke up alone with a note left on his pillow saying that he had work that needed his attention, he didn't know when he would be home and I was not to leave the house. No please stay in today or could you stay at home for whatever stupid reason he had. No I got a do not leave the house like I was a small child.
