Celia, Maddox's sister was recalling a couple days ago when she was trying to cope with bullies at her high school. She was a senior, but still managed to feel like an outcast. She sat there, looking at Maddox lying there, that's when someone walked in, she looked up, "uh hi, can I help you?" She wiped the tears from her face and stood from the chair next to Maddox's bed, "were you seeing my brother?" She knew his only type, since she could remember was pretty black girls.</p><p>"Uhhhhhhhhhhh ... No." Janine smiled, "I'm just a coworker," then held up the flowers she was holding. "I can come back though."</p><p>"No it's fine, I'm always here," she motioned to the chair, "come and sit down. What's your name?"</p><p>"Janine." She took the seat and shook her hand. "Sister? You look alike."</p><p>"Yeah, thanks ..." she smiled, "i get that a lot, however if you saw our brother Trent, now that's his doppelganger." She chuckled, "so how long have you worked with him?"</p><p>"Just a couple of weeks before the accident. I was supposed to be training to be one of his underlings," she chuckled.</p><p>"Oh, my brother the big boss. Only position he can handle, otherwise he gets in trouble for being a smart ass, too bad you didn't get to know him better. He'd probably fall in love. You're beautiful and black, the only prerequisites he has for dating," she half joked with a smirk.</p><p>She chuckled. Janine had heard from the women in the office about his dating habits. "He probably wouldn't have liked me much. I like to argue."</p><p>"If i know my brother way i know i do, that would be perfect ..." she chuckled, "he would kill me right now if he could, tellin his business, he knows i cant hold water."</p><p>"Oooooh. You've got the dirt." Janine paused and stared at the man hooked up to those machines, then looked at Celia, "any change?"</p><p>"Nope. He's gonna be the same jerk he's always been, keep us waiting and wake up in a year or so and ask us, what took US so long. I really and truly miss my big brother. he is my support system." She sighed as her eyes began to water, "I'll leave you to it," Celia left out of the room.</p><p>The door closed and Janine frowned. "Your sister is ... Pretty great. Well... I don't have any updates for you. All the season finales have happened and there's nothing else on worth mentioning." After a long silence, Janine told him, "I hope you wake up. No one at work can really do what you do and ... You should have asked me out. If your sister thinks we would have worked out, I believe her." She stood, "hurry and get up so we can talk for real. See you later." </p><p><br /></p><p>+++</p><p><br /></p><p>| 1 Year Later | </p><p>"This kid is smarter than you are," Celia was joking around as she played with her nephew. Maddox and Janine had a little boy a few months back.</p><p>"I wouldnt have it any other way," Maddox said proudly.</p><p>Janine handed Celia a bottle, "i think he made my hair fall out. It's an omen."</p><p>"But he's so perfect," Celia cooed at the baby as she took the bottle and began to feed him.</p><p>"Look at this ..." Janine held her head towards Maddox. Shed gotten a haircut during the pregnancy because so much hair was coming out. It looked fine now, just shorter.</p><p>"i see you halle berry ..." maddox kissed her on the lips, "you look fine baby."</p><p>"I've always had hair. It was my crowning glory!"</p><p>"But this IS sexy." He ran a hand down the back of her head.</p><p>She calmed, "as long as you think so." Sitting down, "Lia what's new?"</p><p>"living freshman campus life. It's fascinating how different college is from high school, no one is giving me a hard time yet."</p><p>"Good. If they do, you call me. I'll go up there. I ain't scared."</p><p>"I love it though, i've already met a couple of cool people too."</p><p>Janine and Celia chatted a while longer, then she went upstairs to a bedroom since she was visiting for the weekend. "Hey..." Janine got right in Maddoxs face and smiled, "let's ditch the baby and go out. Celia will watch him. He's sleep anyway."</p><p>"You bad parent you...' he smirked, "I'm down."</p><p>"Yes!" Janine got out of bed and went to the closet, "how sexy will i be? I think I'll go moderately. Let's do a bar."</p><p>The two of them got dressed and headed to a bar called Scripts where they held adult plays and comedy shows. Maddox wore a henley, nice jeans, timbs and a fitted cap. he put his arm around Janine, "we needed this right?" He looked down to Janine, "baby, You are so fuckin gorgeous. How did i get this lucky?" he admired her for a moment.</p><p>"Babe..." Janine shook her head and looked at him, then kissed him. His compliments were always genuine and she always blushed as if they were first dating. "thank you... You're pretty amazing yourself. I'm just as lucky." </p><p>"We have a table up front," the hostess told them. "if you want it... Most don't."</p><p>"Uhhh balls out tonight, let's do it.." maddox chuckled and looked to janine, "no time to be a punk."</p><p>"I'm ready." then she nodded at the hostess who walked them to a front table. "Don't cuss anybody out," Janine told him.</p><p>"No promises." He rested his arm on the back of her chair and they ordered drinks, thats when the comic was announced. Maddox immediately rolled his eyes, "i regret life right now.." he looked up on the stage as Hai, the worst possible person entered the stage.</p><p>Janine sighed. She didn't mind Hai but he had a unique ability to make Maddox blindly angry. "I havent seen him in a while," she mumbled.</p><p>"Big crowd... Looking good..." is how he started. Halfway through his set, he looked out to the crowd, "So many couples..." </p><p>That's when Janine started praying.</p><p>"I'm gonna fuckin kill him." maddox mutterered</p><p>"Y'all tryna make feel bad for being alone," hai kept on, "so many assholes get the good women... Take this guy for example..." he motioned to Maddox, "he's a grade a dick with a woman like that ... Lemme shoot my shot," he looked to Janine, "Me?! I'm competent. Don't sleep on the job often. Clean the refrigerator everyday at lunch... "</p><p>Maddox glared at him, "janine, I will murder him in front of EVERYONE."</p><p>"Drink your drink, baby..." Janine touched his leg, ignoring the comedian. </p><p>Hai continued, "its like his nose is a radar. He always knew when i was trying to get something to eat. Look at it... Look at the beak. It's blipping like a space satellite."</p><p>The crowd laughed as maddox just mugged hai. it wasnt even what he was saying, it was just him, the person, he hated the kid, such a waste of human.</p><p>"I have never met a whiter man who thinks he's blacker than the women he dates. It's embarrassing. I apologize, for him, to every black person in the world." He kept going with his set, finally moving from Maddox to some other person. When it was over, he disappeared to applause. </p><p>"Glad that's over," Janine looked at Maddox and then noted the band coming to set up.</p><p>"Yeah, me too, shouldve kicked his asss in front of all these people, see how he likes that. See how funny that is." He said calmly. Seriously considering it</p><p>Janine shook her head and ordered them both more drinks. Not long after the drinks were brought, Hai came out and pulled up a chair at their table. "How'd you like my set, x-boss?" He smiled real big.</p><p>"Hilarious." Maddox said dryly</p><p>"That's what I thought!" He moved his chair close to Janine, "did something happen to you?"</p><p>She looked at him crazy, "what are you talking about?"</p><p>"I mean ... I aint tryin to be rude but... You bald. You needed the hair cause your head is small."</p><p>Janine picked up her drink, sipped it and tossed it in his face. "Get away from me," she was still sensitive about her hair.</p><p>"MAN!" Hai backed up and stood, "what I say?"</p><p>Maddox stood up and pushed hai away from the table, "say some more slick shit to my wife again and see what the fuck go down."</p><p>"You aint gon do SHIT! SECURITY!" Hai yelled out.</p><p>Janine's jaw dropped, "are you serious right now?"</p><p>The security guard walked over and Hai pointed at Maddox, in his face, "I have been assaulted!"</p><p>"Tell that dip shit to quit being disrespectful to my wife and wont be a problem."</p><p>"This mufucka can't take a joke!" He pointed at both Maddox and Janine.</p><p>"Look." The security guard said, "if you can't take being heckled in the front row at a comedy show, you should try going to a different place. Let's go ..." He got ready to turn Maddox around.</p><p>"No no, thats not how this is gonna work. Its not about the show. Its about what he just said to her right now. Im a grown ass man, you're not about to turn me around like a little ass kid."</p><p>"GET HIM OUTTA HERE, PERCY!" Hai yelled.</p><p>"Hey!" A nosey black couple that was table behind them stood up, "he went to their table starting shit. I got video!" The woman tossed her weave around and walked her phone to the security guard and played it.</p><p>"This is my wife's first night out after having my son, this muthafuca is startin shit. Keep the lil asshole away from my table.</p><p>Percy looked at Hai, "you're always in the middle of something. Your set is over, go home."</p><p>Hai immediately started cursing but walked away.</p><p>Janine sighed and thanked the couple, then she and Maddox sat back down, "you good?" She asked him.</p><p>"Yeah im fine, and you look beautiful. Fuck that kid..."</p><p><br /></p><p>+++</p><p><br /></p><p>| 6 Months Later |</p><p>Lynn battled Doc to keep Maddox on life support. She then had him moved to their home into a bedroom that was fitted with the proper equipment. Only a few months after the move, and while Lynn was reading to him, Maddox opened his eyes. "Maddie!?"</p><p>Maddox looked at her trying to say something but couldnt as his moth was so dry. He began coughing a little.</p><p>"DOC! DOC!" She started yelling, then got her own water bottle and gently held it to his lips. At least he could move his mouth. That's a plus. "Oh baby ..." She gently poured the water in in small drips and started crying.</p><p>Doc came in and couldnt believe his eyes, "finally ..." he sat on the side of Maddox.</p><p>"I need to call the doctor," Lynn announced, then handed the water to Doc, kissed Maddox on the forehead and ran to get her cell phone.</p><p>Maddox wanted to talk but couldnt. Not even something quick witted and snarky since his dad had the nerve to have tears in his eyes. It would be something he'd do in the middle of something so serious</p><p>"The doctor is coming," Lynn came back with the phone on her ear. She was answering questions, then put the phone away and moved Doc off the bed so she could sit in that spot.</p><p>Half an hour later, as the doctor was checking Maddox's vitals, he erupted in a fit of seizures. </p><p><br /></p><p>+++ </p><p><br /></p><p>"What are you doing? You can't go in there!" Jeremiah Tanner was Maddox's partner. They were detectives for the Portland Police Department. Both of them were standing outside a restaurant where someone they needed to talk to was inside. "We don't have a warrant, Ames!"</p><p>"Look, im tired of the fuckin hold up," maddox ames was the cop who broke the law all the time. He was fearless and uninhibited, "shit, if they wont come to us."</p><p>Jeremiah sat in the car a few more moments, thinking Maddox would come back but ... When would he ever. Getting out of the car, Jeremiah jogged up next to him, "we're only talking. That's all." He put a hand on Maddox's shoulder, "don't shoot anybody got damnit."</p><p>As long as the sonofabitch keeps it cool there will be no issues</p><p>"Jesus ..." Jeremiah made the sign of the cross over his body and followed Maddox into the restaurant. THey flashed their badges and walked past the host, through the kitchen and to a back room. </p><p>They knocked and small piece of the door slid open. Jeremiah held up his badge and the latino man rolled his eyes and turned around, talking in spanish. A few minutes after, the door opened and the two were welcomed inside, "my two favorite detectives," Ricardo Montega stood up from a table that was perfectly empty except for the petite dark skinned woman that was draped across it in a sheer dress. She spoke to Ricardo in spanish, he kissed her, she slid off the table and went to lay across a chaise close by. "What do you want?" Ricardo asked them.</p><p>"We're looking for someone," Jeremiah started. "Word around town is you would know where to find him."</p><p>"I do not know what you speak of," he smiled.</p><p>"Hey chachi, we're not here for your no speaka-any english bullshit. Where the fuck is ernesto or we'll make business for you harder than it has to be." Maddox sat down, "how does no room to breathe sound. Not a single moment to conduct what you call business."</p><p>"I will remind you that you came into my place without a warrant," Ricardo smiled. "I will make sure to have my lawyer file a harassment suit on my behalf. You two are completely out of control."</p><p>The woman behind him chuckled quietly, then said something about a 'gringo' to someone close by her.</p><p>Ricardo continued, "better yet. I will call the mayor."</p><p>"No." Jeremiah shook his head, "we're not calling the mayor today," he tapped Maddox on the back, "come on . This was pointless."</p><p>"We'll see. ." He backed up, gently pushing over a bottle of champagne as it poured all over the table and floor. "Piece of shit.." they left</p><p>"You HAD to go in there swinging your balls around," they left the same way they came. "And I'm willing to bet that that bitch will be a tattle tale and call the captain."</p><p>"So what! And you aint do shit. "</p><p>"I'm not about to get put on the desk duty with you again!" Jeremiah lowered his voice.</p><p>"Then switch partners! I need one thats not a pussy anyway," he walked to the car so they could leave.</p>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-78419743034740173032021-04-12T22:45:00.005-05:002021-04-12T22:45:54.081-05:00Second Chance - 3<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">+++</span></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">It was nearly Christmas and Jeremiah snuck Maddox out while Janine was out with her girlfriends. "Your wife is killing our flow ..." Jeremiah said to Maddox as they got in his car. "Do you HAVE to keep her?"</span><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"Man, fuck outta here, she ain't going nowhere."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"Alright, alright!" They got into the car and drove off. The drive from beachside was almost 30 minutes before they pulled into a neighborhood with nice homes. They parked and walked a few houses down, then into a house. Music was going, but not too loud. There were poker tables and other card games set up all over the first floor and bars set up on the second landing overlooking downstairs. Jeremiah whispered, "just have my back at the tables, man."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"Not a problem " Maddox just looked around.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">They walked through, spoke to a few folks, then they walked up to the guy who apparently owned the place, "Maddox ... This is Antonio. Antonio ... Maddox," Jeremiah introduced them.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">Antonio raised an eyebrow at Jeremiah, then shook hands with Maddox. He then turned back to Antonio, "are your hands clean this time?"</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">Jeremiah raised them like he was surrendering, "hospital grade antimicrobial cleansers, bro,"</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"Enjoy yourselves," he chuckled and walked away.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">Jeremiah looked at Maddox and grinned, "lets get a seat somewhere."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"What was that about?"</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"Nothing," they sat at a Blackjack table, "he's just being funny," Jeremiah assured him. "If there were a problem, I wouldn't have been invited. Right?" He turned to a young woman walking with gambling chips. He traded a wad of cash for some chips, then looked at the dealer, 'deal me in."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">Half an hour they sat at the Blackjack table. Jeremiah walked away with a little over 5grand. He grinned at Maddox, "you not playing?" He held out some money to him.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"Nah im good.." Maddox looked around, "you done?"</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"No way. Too many suckers around here ... Let's get drinks," they went upstairs and greeted the woman who was working the small bar. Jeremiah chatted with her while looking around a bit, then he and Maddox walked back downstairs, "new dealer at the black jack table. We can go there or somewhere else. Aye ... Roulette." They walked in that direction, "come on ... Try not to have a stick up your ass tonight, man."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: google sans, sans-serif, Roboto;"><span style="font-size: 16.25px;">"Alright alright..." Maddox went into his wallet and headed to the poker table, pulled out 5 100 dollar bills and looked to Jeremiah, "go big or go home huh?"</span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: google sans, sans-serif, Roboto;"><span style="font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"Exactly." They stood playing roulette. Both of them winning ever so often. Halfway through, Jeremiah put a big pile of chips on the table on Red25, kissed the dice and then threw them. He hit and started yelling. He hit again, then two more times. After the last time, he started scooping up his chips, "alright, we good, let's go," he looked around, holding all the chips and rushed over to the cash-out table. He smiled at the girl as she counted out his and Maddox's winnings. As she was loading the money into a briefcase, Jeremiah started to get antsy. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">The two of them started to the door. Jeremiah noticed the roulette guy pointing at them and then security came. "Shit! Move it!" He said to Maddox as they started running.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: google sans, sans-serif, Roboto;"><span style="font-size: 16.25px;">"Fuck! are you shittin me?" Maddox took off running putting his All-State gold medal in Track to good use. </span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: google sans, sans-serif, Roboto;"><span style="font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">Jeremiah grinned as they weaved through the crowd quickly. A lot of 'STOP' and 'HEY' and 'GET THOSE ASSHOLES' were heard as the two men were stopped at the door by a guard. Jeremiah looked around, then hit the dude in the face with his briefcase and hauled ass out of there. "Catch!" He told Maddox. He tossed his briefcase to him and pulled his keys from his pocket. He unlocked the car and started it with the keyless entry. They got in and drove away. "SHIT! THAT WAS CLOSE!" Jeremiah was pounding on the wheel out of sheer excitement as they drove away.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">Maddox was fuming. He looked to him, "I told you to keep me out of your shit because of my wife. You really that fuckin selfish, knowing i could lose her if we end up getting caught because of your bullshit?!"</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: google sans, sans-serif, Roboto;"><span style="font-size: 16.25px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "google sans", sans-serif, Roboto; font-size: 16.25px;">"It was just some weighted dice.

Lighten up!" Jeremiah smiled, "how much you win? Huh?

Janine had loosened up considerably and it was what she needed. All it really meant was she didn't want to shoot him in the face with the shotgun she had but hadn't touched since she moved. They stopped momentarily and leaned on the railing. She thought about telling him to call her but wasn't sure if that was what she wanted. She didn't know what she wanted at all. She stood there trying to figure it out and blurted out, "ever come to Texas?"</p><p><span> </span>"Only twice in my entire life ..." he scooted closer to her, "should i ..... Go to Texas?"</p><p><span> </span>She shrugged, "we have one season. Hot. I can't trust you." Janine frowned, her own response didn't even make sense to her.</p><p><span> </span>He laughed, "me either, I'm too unreliable, i fuck shit up for myself all the time."</p><p><span> </span>"At some point, trust will not be optional."</p><p><span> </span>"I know that... Trust me i know."</p><p><span> </span>"I'm here until Sunday afternoon. We should talk somewhere that isn't a club." Janine looked around the club ... Anywhere but at him.</p><p><span> </span>"You name the place and the time."</p><p><span> </span>"Tomorrow. Central Park Zoo at noon? No ... Too public. We could eat lunch at Extra Virgin on 4th."</p><p><span> </span>"Ok, I'll cancel my meetings..." Maddox smiled.</p><p><span> </span>"You don't have to do that."</p><p><span> </span>"I know, but I'm going to."</p><p><span> </span>"Ok ... Then. I'll see you tomorrow," smiling a little, "i better get back ... To KB."</p><p><span> </span>He nodded, "ok..." He then leaned into her and kissed her temple.</p><p><span> </span>After that, they went their separate ways. Janine looked around and found KB in the middle of some folks, and Tarin off to the side taking pictures. She got 2 drinks, then joined Tarin and handed her one. "What was that all about?" Tarin smirked, "he trying to win his spot back?"</p><p><span> </span>"Yes," Janine sighed, "and doing a really good job at it. I really hate that." Despite the fact that Janine gave no details as to why they broke up, she let whoever run rampant with their own opinions.</p><p><span> </span>"Make him work hard, at least, girl."</p><p><span> </span>Janine agreed, "I live in Texas anyhow. It's not like things will be like they were before."</p><p><br /></p><p>| The Next Day - Noon |</p><p><span> </span>Janine was sitting in a booth towards the back of the restaurant when she saw a flock of people moving around the window. Camera flashes followed and she knew Maddox had shown up. He walked in the place and Janine held her hand up when she stood. He smiled and pulled her into a hug, "how are you?"</p><p><span> </span>"I'm good," she rubbed his back and then sat down. "How is your day? You had to move around a lot of stuff?"</p><p><span> </span>"3 meetings, but its fine. Just music stuff. New record coming out at the beginning of the year."</p><p><span> </span>"So about ... Us. What do you want to do? Cause i don't know."</p><p><span> </span>"Well, I'll get a house in texas, so i can properly court you."</p><p><span> </span>Right then she laughed, "you're going to court me. My grandmother is going to love you."</p><p><span> </span>"Absolutely, you think i dont know how to work for mine?" He paused, "but your father already hates me ... Dammit."</p><p><span> </span>"My mom will love you. She doesn't know anything so my dad will have to suck it up."</p><p><span> </span>"Well that's the plan..." He smiled.</p><p><span> </span>"Okay then. We start over ... Sort of."</p><p><br /></p><p>| 2 months later |</p><p><span> </span>Maddox ended up buying a nice condo, somewhere in Dallas that had two bedrooms. One was his and another was for Janine whenever she decided too come over. He stocked it with: clothes, jewelry, shoes, a vanity, a chaise, and basically any girly thing she'd need to be comfy at his house. In his new Texas surroundings, it humbled him so he wore jean shorts, Jordan's and polo's a lot, but never sacrificed his grooming, always had a tight fade, and pearly write teeth Janine was on her way up in the elevator to check out his new place.</p><p><span> </span>She'd just left school and therefore was dressed teacher appropriate in khaki Capri's, flats, and a blue button up with the school logo on it. She'd planned on changing when she got there anyway. He opened the door and she whistled, "first time Ive been in The W. Well, I came once to get waxed at the spa downstairs but never been up here."</p><p><span> </span>"Welcome..." He pecked her on the lips.</p><p><span> </span>"You look comfortable," she walked in further.</p><p><span> </span>"I am, I use to dress like this all the time." He looked down, "look good?"</p><p><span> </span>"I love it. And don't be alarmed when you see me in cowboy boots. I wear them often."</p><p><span> </span>"So, does your dad know i live here? That we're, back together?"</p><p><span> </span>She nodded and looked around, "I told him. He yelled at me and I gave him a piece of lemon pie."</p><p><span> </span>He laughed, "distraction, i love it," he wrapped his arms around her from behind and began to kiss her neck.</p><p><span> </span>"You have plans today?" She smiled, "that's not Adidas you're wearing. What is that?"</p><p><span> </span>"Gucci ..." Maddox brought his teeth to her ears, "I just got turned on.." The wind could blow and Maddox could get turned on.</p><p><span> </span>Janine chuckled, "stop messing around." She gently slapped his leg, "at least let me get a shower and change before you get going."</p><p><span> </span>"Naw, i want you dirty..." He turned her around, and put her over his shoulder.</p><p><span> </span>"Oh wow ..." She laughed again as he took her to the bedroom.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later |</p><p> <span> </span>When they were done and showered and changed, Janine sat in her favorite spot, with her legs laid across his lap, "is this like Tennessee?"</p><p><span> </span>"Tennessee is more country, more green too."</p><p><span> </span>"Smaller ..." She nodded. "I can see that. How long are you here this trip?"</p><p><span> </span>A week," he massaged her feet.</p><p><span> </span>"Would you mind if I needed to grade papers while I'm here? Or you want me to do that at home before i get here. It's math. It will take a bit."</p><p><span> </span>"You can do it here, of course.."</p><p><span> </span>"What a sweet pea. How is your family? Especially your extra sweet grandma."</p><p><span> </span>"Great, ya-ya keeps asking about you... She asked when we were getting married, i told her next fall," he snickered.</p><p><span> </span>She smiled and shook her head, "how old is she? She probably does want to see you married soon since you're already in your mid thirties."</p><p><span> </span>"She's 84."</p><p><span> </span>"Doesn't look it. My grandmother doesn't look her age either. At least we'll be very good looking in our old age."</p><p><span> </span>"Get old? I'm staying right where i am. 36 agrees with me."</p>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-26010309106510652012019-04-17T09:45:00.001-05:002019-04-17T09:45:55.495-05:00Second Chance - 2<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"He's not here," Janine lied. She couldn't stand Jeremiah. He was always getting Maddox into some shit. Sometimes, Janine had to get them both of out jail and sometimes someone went to the hospital. Then there was the one time he got Maddox fired from his job. So hell no. Jeremiah was not getting in.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

"His car is right there!" Jeremiah waved in the general direction of the driveway.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"He's not here!" Janine said a little bit louder and then started to close the door in his face.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">

"Yo! Open that door for my boy," Maddox reached over her head and pulled the door open, "whats good man? "</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Janine rolled her eyes, extra hard, and then shut the door, then walked away. </div>

"What you got going on today?" He asked Maddox. "Cause I got something big happening and I need a plus 1."</div>

"Who are these muthafuckas at the party? Janine specifically told me, 'if you get into some shit with jeremiah, you'll homeless' i can't piss her off again."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"No no no no," Jeremiah shook his head, "its just business. A few drinks, some big money men... It'll be simple. I promise."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Alright, im in."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Cool. I’ll send a car around 7:30." Jeremiah gave him a big smile and then let himself out.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Maddox went to lock the door, but before turning around, he felt a presence, "look, I’ll eat your pussy so good you forget about how irritated you are with me. C’mon ..." he patted a table top in the foyer.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Janine remained standing with her arms folded across her chest. "I'm not going to tell you to not go," she started, "and i appreciate you thinking of me kicking you out WHEN something happens," she approached him, "but he is bad news and you know it."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Baby, listen, that is my brother, known him all my life. Even before you. I cant stop the train from rolling. I love you more than life itself, however, he is my family. Now... table? Im talkin good to the point you can’t unravel your legs from around my head. You passin?"</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Yes. I'm passing until you come home unharmed and not in any kind of trouble ... Tonight... Not tomorrow." She started walking up the other room.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Hey, cmere ..." Maddox walked up a few stairs and grabbbed her hand, bringing her back down. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her temple, "I love you and i will be home by 1 at the latest."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">

"You better," she rubbed his back, "or I'm calling the cavalry." She meant his uncles.</div>

"What the hell did you do to yourself?" Sasha, Maddox's ex-girlfriend, questioned while she rubbed his head. They were long broken up and weren't even on good terms and yet she came to see him. Beginning to cry she laid her head on his chest.</div>

Maddox and Janine were sitting at a table looking through their menus and talking kids. They both wanted to grow their family but we're just trying to discuss details, "we need to figure a way to have a boy first."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

Janine frowned, "gender selection is a thing. Celebrities do it." Although Janine wasn't a fan of jacking with whatever God decided. And this was doing exactly that.</div>

She nodded, "okay." Then she smiled, "our first baby. I'm ... Excited already. He's going to look just like you."</div>

Grabbing her hand he winked when they heard a clearing of someone's throat. Janine followed the noise and saw Sasha, Maddox’s ex-girlfriend, standing by the table. Janine wanted to roll her eyes so badly but instead, kept holding on to Maddox's hand and looking at her, waiting for her to tell them what the fuck she wanted.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

"Maddox ..." Sasha greeted him, then glanced at Janine briefly, "hello."</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Uh huh," Janine responded.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Just saw you two and decided to say hi.." she smiled warmly at the both of them even though she knew Janine didn't like her and she didn't care.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"How you doin girl?" He didn't dare get up and hug her, Janine would tear him a new one.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Great. Just opened my third boutique downtown. Grabbing a late dinner after closing now." she smiled, "what are you two having?" </div>

'Married couple time,' Janine said to herself, then answered, "trying the sea bass."</div>

Sasha nodded, feeling the ice from the table. <span style="font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">"Well I better get going, have a good night."</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">

"You too, Sash." Maddox watched her walk off and then looked to Janine, "yeah he I traded up." He said knowing she was watching him stare.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Do you know why my claws come out when she shows up?" Janine finally let go of Maddox's hand and leaned back in her chair, then started picking over her food.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"No, but I'm sure you're about to tell me." He listened.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Janine chuckled, "because despite how different she and I are ... We're both your type," she paused, "you've always made me crazy."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"So you wanted to be crazy for life huh. Lucky us ..." He chuckled again, "she is so far in my past, baby, I'm over her." Sasha broke his heart. She was Maddox’s first real heart break experience; sleeping with and leaving him for his best friend, Cordell.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"I know. But I can't help it. It's instinctual I think. I know what she was to you and at the time you and I met ... I didn't think I was your type at all." Smiling, "there you were in your nice big office ... Young ... Good looking ... I mean you're still young and good looking ... But it made sense that you'd gotten that far so fast while I was coming in as an intern."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"Yeah but she broke my heart. Why would I ever go back to that. Love is winning over here. LET IT WIN!"</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
"It's winning ... It's winning." She shook her head and went back to eating her food.</div>

Jeremiah came back to see Maddox before he was supposed to leave town. He left flowers, told a couple of dirty jokes and then promised to come again next week when he had some downtime from work. When he left, Janine passed him on her way in. She did NOT want to go. But shit, the boss was making her, "hi Maddox," she said in a cheery tone. "I don't have any Game of Thrones updates for you but I may have a spoiler for The Walking Dead." Once Janine told him and put some flowers down, she looked around the cold hospital room and sighed. She hated hospital rooms and hated even more the fact that a man this fine was destroyed for life. She missed her chance if she ever had one. She gently pulled the sheet up over his torso, "it's cold in here," then patted his hand, "goodnight."</div>

She'd come straight from work in a black knee-length dress and heels. Her hair, usually in a mass of natural curls, was straightened and falling to the middle of her back. With such brown skin, her blue eyes were almost a shock to people and always drew their attention. Now her eyes were trained on the hospital bed in front of her. A guy she barely knew was in a hospital bed; in a coma. They'd only met a couple of weeks ago at work, never gone out, but their boss insisted everyone from the office take the time to stop by and take a flower or something. The hospital room wasn't big, but it was clean and the open window had a nice view of the city below. The man in bed still had scars. If Janine remembered correctly, he'd been drunk driving and wrapped his car around a tree trunk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Everything," the doctor responded. "Of course ... When they come out of the coma, they may not remember, but they hear you. And sometimes they remember. Usually someone will say a phrase that stuck with them while they were in the coma, and it will jog a small piece of memory." The doctor wouldn't give the co-worker any details. Definitely wouldn't tell her that he wasn't getting any better, but maintained that the man in bed, Maddox Ames, was comfortable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Okay ..." Janine took a seat in a nearby chair. She really had no interest in staying long but she felt bad for the guy, "since you watch Game of Thrones ... and you missed the last episode, I'll fill you in." She started to talk, giving him a run down of what happened. When she was finished, she picked up her purse, "good luck," she gently squeezed his hand and left.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>+++</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yea. You could really hear things while you were in a coma. Maddox didn't realize that along with hearing her, he could actually feel her if she touched him. It was gentle and seemed far away but she definitely touched him before she left. As soon as the feeling brushed across his subconscious, he dipped further into his coma.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Every day after she left, Maddox had a recurring dream. The bulk of the dream was always the same, but the end of it would be just a little different each time. He and his wife, Janine, were sitting on a back porch. Calming waves rushing the shore not far from the beach house they lived in. He had his hand resting on hers, that she squeezed gently when he touched her. He smiled softly, realizing the voice he'd heard speaking to him in that hospital room belonged to the woman sitting next to him on that porch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Maddox had been in that bed going on 2 weeks at that point, 3 weeks total. All because of a stupid mistake.The car wreck resulted in the coma, a broken neck and legs. His family was going to kill him, he knew that due to the constant reminders they gave him when visiting. Until then, he'd be milking this coma. It was all he could do at that point anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"I'm thinking I should probably learn how to swim ..." In the dream, Janine was sitting next to him on that porch. She was absently drawing a circle on Maddox's hand with her middle fingertip. "Every time I go a certain distance out to the water, I think I'm going to get knocked over and BOOM ... I'm dead ... Dead in paradise." She glanced at him, catching the side of his face.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"I dont know I believe thats how it would go down. For someone who is as amazing as you are, amazing never dies. I have a feeling that if you died, youd live on by haunting all of us mortals."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Janine inhaled deeply through her teeth and leaned back further in her chair, "I could see myself doing that. My ghost would be decked out in dress made of gold. I'd have big braids piled up high on my head and a gold sheen all over my body. Who wouldn't want to get haunted by that?" She smiled and closed her eyes, "wouldn't you want to? I'd even be extra bitchy to the women you date after my death."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He nodded, "haunt me all you want, get all that gold shit all over my body. I insist. Hell, i wouldnt be mad."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"You're so easy to please."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Inside Maddox's hospital room was his mother, Lynn. The family decided to pull the plug but didn't know when they'd do it. Lynn was a wreck. Doc convinced her that this was better for Maddox than continuing to be a non responsive vegetable for however much longer he had in that bed. "Oh honey ..." Lynn rubbed Maddox's forehead, "I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. You can't be happy like this ... but ..." She'd take care of him. It's not like they were strapped for cash. Lynn started to consider moving Maddox back home and having a room outfitted with the hospital grade equipment. She'd take care of him until he passed away on his own. "You should have gotten married like I told you to," she forced a laugh but it came out strained. After a long silence, Lynn leaned back in the recliner next to the hospital bed, and drifted to sleep.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Hey! I said put that down!" Janine walked towards Maddox, who had a butter knife in his hand and walking towards a warm pie. Janine was holding a spoon that had cake batter on it. "It's not ready yet and I told your mother she'd get first crack at it. You cutting a piece will make it look ... Less than stellar."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Why would you lie to her? You know old people hold grudges. You fucked up.." he continued going for it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Don't ... You ..." She watched Maddox get ready to dip a knife into the pie, "I will ..." Then she slung cake batter at him, hitting him in the face, "warned you." She smiled, proud of herself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"For real? Cake batter on my new fade? Thats really how you feel? You want a whoopin?" He began to remove his belt. At 6'4'', it looked like Maddox was stalking his 5'2'' wife. Janine often thought that Maddox's blonde hair glowed in the sun and his blue eyes sparkled like the ocean. God, was the man good looking. He knew it, and used it to his advantage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Don't you take that shit off! You watch too much Narcos," then snatched the pie and walked off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Yeah, and in a minute, you're about to be callin me narcos.." Walking behind her and pulling the belt completely out of the loops, Maddox watched her sit the pie down and then snatched her by her wrist, "you could take this standing or over my knee, you choose?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Janine heaved a sigh and then motioned to the chair for Maddox to sit. When he did, she draped herself over his lap and laughed, "I can't stand you. Cake on your face and you're starting something."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Yeah, fuck yeah. When you feel whats coming to you, just remember it was your doing." He lifted the long dress she was wearing above her butt and then pulled her panties to her mid thigh, "any last minute requests? "</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Be gentle ... Unless it's with your hand, then I want you to leave a print," she winked at him.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jeremiah Tanner was Maddox's best friend growing up. He stood 6'1'' and more brawny than Maddox. With brown hair and brown eyes, Jeremiah was just as handsome but had a much easier smile than Maddox. They hadn't seen each other in a few years but still kept in general contact. He flew into the city on business but stopped by to see him. The nurse was on her way out as he was coming in, "how long will he be like this?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Hard to say," she answered. "He's comfortable," she assured him, "but he is paralyzed from the neck down." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"The neck down?!" Jeremiah looked at her in disbelief, then at Maddox, "how the fuck did you do this to yourself?"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine was dead serious about moving. The same day she was set free, she started packing and now had an apartment full of boxes. She opened her door to take some downstairs when Ricardo stood just on the door. Janine stood frozen for a moment, not out of shock or fear, but annoyance. She handed him a box, then another and picked up one, walking past him, "MY patience is non existent so tell me why you didn't say anything that would have helped."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We had a cover to keep, at your fathers orders. He didnt want to do anything to piss Doc off so he had a certain way he wanted us to do this. I'm sorry, Janine." He followed her with the boxes in hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He failed and you suck at undercover work," they left the apartment and started down the stairs, "had me scared to death ... Well, near death. Scared to death after dude got to me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ricardo, followed Janine downstairs, to Maddox standing next to her car, in jeans, a plaid shirt and sneakers. Ricardo dropped the boxes he was holding and pulled a gun on him, and Maddox held his hands up, "put your gun away Ricky, I'm not here to fight, i just want to say a few things to Janine, and I'll go."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine sucked her teeth and deliberately kept her eyes off of his, "its fine," she told Ricardo, then unlocked her car and opened the door.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ricardo just walked a little ways away putting his gun down but not away. Maddox walked to her, "can i get your attention real quick? Just look me in my eyes while i tell you what i have to tell you.."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She huffed and put the boxes in the car, then closed the door and looked at him, "yes?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I didn't come down here expecting a damn thing from you. I just knew that if I let you leave without telling you how i really feel I'd regret it..." He sighed, "you changed me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She gave him that look like 'nigga please.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Not a total 180, but you just made me want to have love and a family. I told you that you were never my girlfriend for a reason because you were always wifey material. That's why i fought through the awkward times. I didn't have to spend time with you in order to hold you for ransom. I could've done it from jump, but my attraction to you took control. My dad is the one that got me to kick shit into gear, but i should've listened to my heart."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You should have." She agreed, "i would have ..." She groped the air with her hands to find the right words, "... Worked with you? You could have said something but instead you put your hands on me and threatened me and i can't trust you at all anymore," she sighed, "but ... You did say this was your priority so ... No need to say anything at all about any of this anymore ..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Well, just know that I'll never choose this shit over you again. If i ever could be so lucky baby..." He sighed again, as he stepped closer to her, he placed his hand on her shoulder, "good luck Janine..." His hand slid off her shoulder, and down her arms, "love you..." He said under his breath and began to walk away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine watched him leave, trying not to let what he said get to her. She waited until he got in his car and left, then looked at Ricardo, "are you a cop?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Not even close, why?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Curious ... Liars are common place in my life these days. You're probably not even a lawyer." She walked past him and back into her apartment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He laughed, "right..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Months Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine moved back to Texas and chewed out her dad royally. She took a job teaching 5th grade math at a private school, and during the summer months, she worked as a personal trainer. Keith had called her with info for his album release party that Janine wouldn't miss, but that meant going back to New York. She borrowed Tarin's couch while there, then got dressed with her and went to a club where KBs party was held.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"ive never even been to this place, better be good.." Tarin stood 40 lbs lighter and loving herself. She wore a tight white knee length, body hugging dress and some nude stilettos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Robin Thicke had his here. It's pretty nice," Janine nodded as they walked through. KB had their names put on 'the list' which gave them no problems getting in anywhere they wanted. They went to the VIP after KB got up and said a few words about his album and took a seat, on both sides of him, between himself and some random groupies. Janine smiled at him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'm so happy my girls are here.." He put his arms around Janine and Tarin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'm excited. You wouldn't even let me sample anything."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"And you didn't tell me shit the last time I saw you," Tarin raised an eyebrow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Well i gotta have some sense of mystery, guys..." He cheesed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea yea ... It's sounding good so far. I expect all the perks when you go on tour," Janine told him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Even that merchandise stuff. I will rock the hell out of a shirt with your face on it," Tarin chuckled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He laughed, "that's what I'm talking about," he squeezed them as he looked up to see a familiar face; Maddox, "Maddox, how are you man?" Kb shook his hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"how are you? Thought I'd come and congratulate you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you, man. That means a lot." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While KB accepted his congrats from Maddox, Janine sighed on the inside. That stupid nigga standing up there looked so good. She missed him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Of course.." He looked to Janine, "hey beautiful..." He grinned down at Janine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hi there," she looked everywhere but at him, then finally in his eyes, gave him a tight smile and then to her hands in her lap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We're thirsty ..." KB grabbed Tarin by the hand, "oh look. There's the bar. We'll be right back."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox continued smiling as they left and then slid in next to Janine, "you look amazing, baby."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you. Don't wear this stuff anymore so it was fun to dress up. How are things?" She turned her head only slightly and looked at him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Quiet... Lonely... And very busy. What's new with you?"he put an arm around her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Just work. I'm very much a normal now."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You're anything but normal. Extraordinary is more like it. Tarin looks good by the way. Good for her."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine nodded, "and did it all by herself." Ignoring the rest of what he'd said. She'd relaxed a little.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thats good..." He sighed, "can i get a dance with you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Sneaky bastard,' she thought and nodded, then stood up, "no feeling on my booty," she grinned and walked ahead of him to the small VIP dance floor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"no promises..." He winked.</span>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-7290962328499773012016-11-28T20:31:00.002-06:002016-11-28T20:31:54.747-06:00Undercover Superstar - 15"Maddox!" Janine yelled and beat on the door, "what is going on right now?"<br />
<br />
Maddox didn't hear shit. The room, on top of all the security, was sound proofed. He headed downstairs where his uncles and father were. Carmine stepped to him, "Maddox don't you kill that girl, it wasn't in the plan."<br />
<br />
Maddox looked at his uncle, "by any means necessary, unc. Shit's business, not personal."<br />
<br />
"But you really like this woman-"<br />
<br />
"Carmine, put a sock in it," Doc Sr growled, "that bitches father is a problem for the business. My son is making a wise choice."<br />
<br />
"You want him single forever like you. I know differently. Call and negotiate with her father. Maybe her life can be sparred." Carmine handed Maddox a cell phone.<br />
<br />
Constantine shook his head, "take her the phone and make her call him. Knowing she's been caught will make him cooperate."<br />
<br />
Maddox went back upstairs, unlocked the door to see her crying her eyes out, "Janine ... I get this is a hard pill to swallow, but I'm gonna call your father, and the only shit i want you to say is 'dad they have me.' He's very familiar who THEY are. No names. If you say otherwise, id be forced to act accordingly and kill you. I'm no nonsense, you know that. This is nothing personal. About 80% of the shit i told you is true, but this shit was always a priority. You understand? Yes or no?"<br />
<br />
She nodded but didn't look at him, keeping her head down. She wouldn't look at him again after this if she made it out of there. Maddox handed her the phone and she dialed her dads number. Her mother answered, "mom ... Where's Daddy?"<br />
<br />
"You get a new phone?" Caroline asked off handedly.<br />
<br />
"Quick, mom."<br />
<br />
"Ok!"<br />
<br />
Janine heard shuffling and then William took the line, "hi sweet heart."<br />
<br />
She sighed, "they have me." She heard him start to say something but then Maddox snatched the phone from her.<br />
<br />
Maddox grabbed the phone from her and walked out of the room locking it up, "William. I've been very patient with you and treated your daughter with respect. You defied me so you have 3 hours to get to City Lake Park with all the bullshit you have collected over time about me. I wont let your precious Angelica go until i have all documents and other pieces of evidence in hand. Better not be any police. Do know i have connections down there and shit will go down if this isnt a straight, easy breezy connect. No wires, no police just you and the items, we clear?"<br />
<br />
"Yes," he huffed and hung up.<br />
<br />
Maddox walked downstairs, "start the clock ... Unc, contact Geno and tell him its on, to head to the spot now."<br />
<br />
Geno was told to get to city lake park where William would be waiting with the papers. He was holding a box with a top on it that had documents, pictures and voice recordings. All, he handed over when he meet the guy. After the stuff was gone, Geno told them he had it all and drove on to the airport to bring it to the Ames'.<br />
<br />
Maddox hung up the phone after speaking to Geno and walked up the stairs to the room he had janine in. He shut the door behind him, "do you understand why i did what i did?"<br />
<br />
She nodded, still not looking at him. She really did understand even though she hated him for it.<br />
<br />
"I had to protect my family, but i really do care about you, make no mistake. I know how this is already going to play out, i know how you feel about everything so tell me what you want from the business you started. Do you want it all or do you want to leave it? Either way i wont fight you."<br />
<br />
"Leave it. When i get out of here, i'm getting the hell out of New York. I'll keep your secrets. They're not mine to tell. But i'm leaving." Scooting into the bed, she pulled her knees up to her chest and turned her head towards the bathroom door.<br />
<br />
He nodded, "ok, are you hungry?"<br />
<br />
"No. Thank you."<br />
<br />
He left the room and locked it behind him. Going downstairs, he walked to his patio and pulled a cigar out and began to smoke it.<br />
<br />
"Now what, nephew?" Carmine took a seat next to where he was standing. Then smirked, "you're going to miss that one, aren't you?"<br />
<br />
Maddox nodded, "yeah, pretty sure she was the one."<br />
<br />
"This could have been handled differently. You could have gotten what you needed and kept her too ... Had you thought it out more like me and not like your father."<br />
<br />
"You're right ... I just didn't think the girl would get me like she did. I just didn't even plan for it."<br />
<br />
"Give her some time and then lie your way back in," he smirked.<br />
<br />
"I don't know if that will work."<br />
<br />
What felt like an entire day went by. Geno had to travel from Texas to New York so Maddox had to wait for Geno to get back with the contents of the box before he let Janine go. When Geno arrived, they meticulously went through the contents of the box. When they were satisfied, Maddox hit a button that unlocked the room. Janine popped up from the bed and went straight for the door. When she opened it, she crept out into the hallway and downthe stairs.She saw the men sitting in the living room, except Maddox had his back turned looking out of the window. She shuffled through quickly, ignoring the stares from his family, got her purse and dipped out.Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-57668379778947808572016-09-07T15:19:00.001-05:002016-09-07T15:19:38.115-05:00Doc's Little Girl - 12| Days Later |<br />
<br />
"Your dad is gonna give me away ..." Janine said to Maddox. They were out shopping and Janine was looking at baby things. "I'd like him to."<br />
<br />
"If you want him to, you should."<br />
<br />
"And when will you fix it?"<br />
<br />
"Fix what?"<br />
<br />
"Your relationship."<br />
<br />
"Ok. Pause, Janine. What you're not gonna do is try to convince me to make amends with my father. You have your relationship and I'll have mine the way i want and I'll move things on my own damn terms."<br />
<br />
"I'm going to try and convince you because it just makes sense. He's asking to be let back in. Please. I have not asked you for anything at all. Just this one thing." Janine picked up a small piece of clothing.<br />
<br />
"Janine!" He yelled, "my relationship with my father is fuckin non-negotiable! Don't ask anymore or you WILL cause problems between us!"<br />
<br />
A man walked up to them, "is there a problem over here?"<br />
<br />
"Who the fuck invited you over here?! Is anyone bleeding or crying over here? No! Did she ask for your gotdamn help? No! Get the FUCK out of my face!"<br />
<br />
Janine had frozen as soon as he yelled at her like that. Her eye twitched a bit and she wanted so badly to lash out. But she had to remember who this was to her, that she was pregnant, and she needed to calm down. But unfortunately, now she was incredibly angry. She balled up the tiny piece of clothing she was holding, held her breath and stared at him as the shop worker walked up to them. After Maddox yelled at him, Janine roughly dropped the shit she was holding to the ground, then turned around and stormed her ass out of the store.<br />
<br />
Maddox followed Janine and stopped her from getting in the car, "don't even fucking act like I'm in the wrong right now. Its you who is butting into shit you shouldn't."<br />
<br />
Janine didn't even look at him. She tilted her head to the side, snatched the car door open and sat inside.<br />
<br />
"Alright we can do this," he walked away to go catch a cab.<br />
<br />
| Later |<br />
<br />
Janine took her sweet time getting home. She went to the gun range and unloaded for two hours, walked the pier, then went and picked up a giant fruit platter from the organic food store. When she got home, she went to the kitchen, opened the platter and dumped all the cantaloupe, pineapples and mangoes into a bowl, then walked around eating it.<br />
<br />
Maddox however hadn't gone home and was at his mother's house, "I'm just so damn pissed, Ma."<br />
<br />
"I understand honey. But ... With marriage comes compromise. There isn't anything you can take from this?" She was in the kitchen, working on a pie, "hmm? I compromised with your father and let him come over here once a day to grovel, then he leaves."<br />
<br />
"The speed i move with my father is not for her to decide. I already told him i would be open to working on our relationship, but at my own pace, and she should respect that."<br />
<br />
"She should," Lynn agreed.<br />
<br />
"What makes me more mad is she doesn't see that because she is my father's drone. He's everything to her and i get it, but for most of my life. My dad has been too busy for me."<br />
<br />
"That is true but he loves you. So much, baby. Now he has the opportunity to make it right when YOU are ready. Tell Janine to cool it."<br />
<br />
"Tried, maybe i told her the wrong way but I'm that angry."<br />
<br />
"I think ... You told her the wrong way." Lynn patted his hand.<br />
<br />
"I know but i said it regular to begin with and then she kept pushing it."<br />
<br />
"Alright. Honey. I hope everything is okay by morning."<br />
<br />
"Yeah, well, i better get out of here," he kissed his mother on the head.<br />
<br />
"Love you.." lynn hugged him<br />
<br />
"I love you too mama," he smiled and left to go home.<br />
<br />
| Later |<br />
<br />
Maddox got home. Janine knew he'd arrived and didn't give a shit. She was in their bedroom, sitting on the loveseat with her legs up and folded, kindle in one hand reading a book about babies, and almonds in the other hand, popping some into her mouth as she read.<br />
<br />
Maddox walked in to their bedroom, "lets talk."<br />
<br />
"No thank you." She responded without looking up from her book.<br />
<br />
"Well, I'm talking. Sorry, for talking to you like I did, however, i am not sorry for what i said. You need to respect my wishes. If this is gonna work, you have to respect my feelings." he looked to her.<br />
<br />
"If this is going to work?" She looked up at him, "if this is going to work? What the fuck?"<br />
<br />
"Yes, generally speaking, you respect me and i respect you."<br />
<br />
"You respect me by not yelling at me in my fucking face like I'm some random who pissed you off. I need to respect your wishes but you don't need to respect mine ... right?"<br />
<br />
"You miss everything i said. I started with sorry and i just said we both need to respect each other. Why would i expect you to respect me and i wouldn't give you any in return? You forget i spoke in a completely tamed tone until you kept pressing the issue."<br />
<br />
"Whether I press or not ... you don't need to talk to me like that. Walk away." She went back to reading her book.<br />
<br />
"Right ... we'll ignore the fact that i just apologized. Cool, lets keep this up, lets stay mad. Because that's what you want to do. Remember, i came to you, trying to talk, but every time we get in a damn argument, you always want to keep it going and even if you are wrong, you never apologize. I'm stubborn, but baby you take the damn cake. When you're ready to talk, you know where ill be," he walked off, intending on a spare room.<br />
<br />
"I'm not wrong and therefore can't apologize." She said loud enough for him to hear. Janine would have apologized for nothing had he not said 'if this is going to work' because that made her anger worse. At least now, she didn't have to tell him to leave, he went on his own and she was fine with that. Maddox was exhausted,this is why they were always on and off, her stubbornness. She also always read into things incorrectly.<br />
<br />
| Morning |<br />
<br />
Maddox got up and made breakfast for the both of them. He put hers on the table and went to the bedroom, "your breakfast is ready..." he announced to her and then walked off.<br />
<br />
Janine sighed and turned over. She just wanted to sleep but she was starving. She got up and brushed her teeth, combed her hair into a ponytail and went downstairs. "Thanks ... I'm so hungry." She sat down and took a moment to rub her stomach.<br />
<br />
"You're welcome..." he nodded and drank some orange juice.<br />
<br />
"When you get off, can we try the registry again?" She started eating.<br />
<br />
"Yeah ..." he agreed.<br />
<br />
"Great." They finished eating in silence. No, things were not okay. Nothing magically fixed itself overnight. Maddox was right, she's as stubborn as they come and could become irrational with it. Then again, Janine had learn everything about normal life in only a few years time. When they finished, a maid cleaned off the table and Janine went back up to bed. Maddox left to work, trying his hardest to change his attitude the whole day.<br />
<br />
| Later |<br />
<br />
Janine spent her afternoon crying to Doc about Maddox yelling at her, "stubborn or not. I'm not apologizing and I did nothing wrong."<br />
<br />
"Why wouldn't you? Didn't you say he apologized?"<br />
<br />
"Yes. So ..." blinking as tears fell, "I'm supposed to when he does?" She was confused.<br />
<br />
"My question is why wouldn't you? He told you cool it and you continued to press it. I appreciate you, i do, but i dont want you to fight because of me."<br />
<br />
"I've always done what you said to do. It's all I was doing." She wiped her face.<br />
<br />
"But don't risk your relationship."<br />
<br />
"Jesus!" She leaned back on her couch, "Okay. I'll fix this. Okay. I don't know how but okay."<br />
<br />
"Remember, your man comes first. Dont jeopardize that for anyone," he rubbed her hand.<br />
<br />
She sighed, "Okay. You won't stop coming around will you?"<br />
<br />
"Of course not," he smiled.<br />
<br />
And just like that, Janine felt better. Doc always fixed everything.<br />
<br />
| That Evening |<br />
<br />
Janine waited for Maddox at home. When he got there, she was cooking, but went to greet him. She only gave him a tight hug and stood on her toes and kissed him, then went back to the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"Hello ..." he smiled as she walked off.<br />
<br />
"Hi. Hold on," she rushed back to check the halibut.<br />
<br />
"Holding," he took off his coat.<br />
<br />
She turned it down low, then went back to him, "I'm sorry. I was an idiot. I was thinking like Doc's protege and still taking orders like they're the bible. You're my number 1 now. I didn't forget, but it was like my mechanics override that if Doc asks me to do something. Won't happen again." Yet she still felt like she wasn't wrong. Go figure. Either way, she was still doing what Doc told her to do.<br />
<br />
He smiled and just kissed her, "i love you."<br />
<br />
"I love you too." Smiling, she rushed back to the kitchen. "YOUR MOM IS COMING OVER FOR DINNER."<br />
<br />
"Good! Im gonna hop in the shower really quick..." he ran off to do so.<br />
<br />
By the time Maddox showered, Janine was putting food on the table and Maddox's mother was brought in by the butler. "Hi Ms Lynn." Janine went to greet her.<br />
<br />
"Hey sweetie, how are you and my grand baby?!" She hugged her.<br />
<br />
"We're good. Growing too fast. Come sit. Dinner is ready and Maddox will be down in a minute."<br />
<br />
"How is everything?"<br />
<br />
"Fine! And you?"<br />
<br />
"Im great, just miss having kids in the house," she pouted as Maddox came down, "baby," she jumped up to hug him.<br />
<br />
"Hey mama," he leaned down and hugged her tightly.<br />
<br />
"I was just telling Janine I wanted a baby in the house. Trent's son got too big too fast," she sat back down.<br />
<br />
"I asked her over," Janine told them, "just so I can get some talk time in since Lynn knows everything about babies. I've read books but I know books don't really prepare you."<br />
<br />
"Oh no, experience is where its at, baby," Lynn smiled, "I'm always here to assist though."<br />
<br />
"I'll need the help. Honestly. It's a little scary."<br />
<br />
"Thats normal. You have a good guy helping you. Maddox is great with kids."<br />
<br />
"That's what he says," Janine winked at him.<br />
<br />
"I do... ma, how are you and dad?" Maddox sipped his wine and looked at his mother.<br />
<br />
"Um i can look at him without being angry.." she admitted. Maddox nodded and went back to eating. "Well... what about you?" Lynn grinned.<br />
<br />
"Uhh we got together for lunch today. He showed up, i didnt say no."<br />
<br />
Janine gasped and nearly coughed up her juice, "and ..." She calmed herself, "How did it go?"<br />
<br />
"Fine.. it went fine."<br />
<br />
"That's ... That's ... nice." Grinning too hard. From then on, everything would be fine. Doc is always right.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
"No. I'm the photographer so that's not an issue. Space is the issue. Once I have the studio I put in for ..." Janine stopped abruptly, almost running into Ricardo as she was about to cross the street, now really wishing she had driven that day instead of taking the subway, "I'm going underground, I'll call you in an hour." She said her goodbyes and then gave Ricardo the most genuine smile she could muster until she made sure she could dart her ass across the street away from him.<br />
<br />
Ricardo was suppose to be at war with Maddox, somewhere I'm the world, but he managed to be one step ahead of Maddox. He walked up to Janine, "hello beautiful.."<br />
<br />
"Hi there. How are you?" She took a few steps to the sidewalk to wait for the light to change and hopefully loose him in a crowd.<br />
<br />
"I have a question for you."<br />
<br />
"Okay," now tapping her thigh with her right hand.<br />
<br />
"How do you think your boyfriend would feel knowing he's the reason for your death?" Before she could respond or move two men stood on the side of her<br />
<br />
"I don't think ..." She took a few deep breaths, "he would like that at all." To keep from flat out hyperventilating, she laughed, "he fucked you over once ... He'll do it again," then the signal showed walk and she took off running into the mob of people coming to her side of the street, now using her lack of height to her advantage. Staying low and hauling ass. The men took off in the same street knocking people over.<br />
<br />
"Don't panic. Don't turn around," she coached herself, running down the sidewalk and trying to find a place to hide. She paused on front of Planet Hollywood but kept going, smiling at the subway entrance and ran there. The men separated in order to have a better shot in finding her.<br />
<br />
Janine slowed her speed down just a bit while in the subway, looking around for them. The train wasn't coming so she kept walking towards the other exit when she bumped right into one of the dudes. He reached out to grab her and she kicked him in the nuts, chuckled and took off, back out to daylight and hailing a cab once out. Inside the cab, she slumped down and called Maddox.<br />
<br />
Maddox was in the middle of closing in on some people, our so he thought, when he saw the call. Thinking of ignoring it, he answered it anyway, "hey, i can't talk long, what's up?"<br />
<br />
"I just almost got grabbed." She paused and shook her head a bit, "well, almost. I got away. I'm in a cab now."<br />
<br />
"What the fuck you mean?"his tone changed, explain!"<br />
<br />
"Ricardo walked right up to me, said a few words and i took off with 2 guys chasing me," she said quieter.<br />
<br />
"Fuck, i want you to get in another cab and get to my estate somehow, i am heading to my jet be there in 2hours."<br />
<br />
She blinked, "alright, i'm going." Janine ended the call, paid the cab fare, got out, got in another one and rode on.<br />
<br />
Later |<br />
<br />
Janine got there with no problem and was let in his place. She nearly collapsed on his couch and was in that same spot when he got there.<br />
<br />
Dressed in his assassins best, equipped with a long trench coat, he came to her, "are you okay?"<br />
<br />
"I kicked him in the balls," she jumped up and hugged him, "and ran like hell."<br />
<br />
"I'm so pissed," he kissed her on the lips, "something told me to wait."<br />
<br />
"Don't worry about it." She slapped her thighs, then looked him over, "you look amazing."<br />
<br />
"Thank you ... I gotta go make a call.."<br />
<br />
Janine nodded and sat back down, then got up and went to the kitchen. She had no idea when he'd last eaten so she cooked up something quick while he made his calls.<br />
<br />
"Janine grab my dessert eagles from under the coffee table," he yelled from the hallway.<br />
<br />
"Eagles," she mumbled to herself add she moved to the coffee table, catching that he wanted both, not just 1. "Got em!" Then walked towards the sound of his voice.<br />
<br />
Maddox hung up his phone and grabbed both phones. He put them in his gun holster behind his back, and then held his arms open to her, "I missed you."<br />
<br />
"Missed you too," she hugged him and held on to him, "I'm sorry you had to come back in the middle of all you had going on."<br />
<br />
"I'm not ..." He kissed her lips and then she felt a blunt object against her stomach, "because i get exactly what i wanted."<br />
<br />
She stepped back a bit and saw the gun, smiling, "doing this today?" She bit her bottom lip, "let's go."<br />
<br />
Maddox snatched her to him by her hair and forced the gun into her mouth, you think I'm playing?" Serving her with the same look, he gave cheyenne that day.<br />
<br />
Janine briefly paused, staring him on the eye, "why wouldn't you be?" She swallowed and tried to move away from him.<br />
<br />
Pulling her back by her hair, Maddox drug her to the nearest room, and locked her in. He then went to the intercom and spoke, "security on windows, i repeat security on all windows!" Seconds later, steel plates dropped over the windows, shielding all outside light leaving Janine in the darkness.

<br />
They packed up and went shooting. Janine, of course, enjoyed it more than dealing with the hand gun. On the way back, Janine was dozing seeing as how she didn't sleep much the night before. They hit a bump and Janine's eyes flew open, "Jesus ..." She mumbled, "I am completely dead right now."<br />
<br />
"You asked for it..."<br />
<br />
"And man did I get it," she smiled, "I came too many times. I was dehydrated yesterday."<br />
<br />
"Shit was good.." He paused, "you need to be consistent with drinking water dealing with me. Ill take fatigue to a whole new level."<br />
<br />
Janine laughed out loud, "you aint never lied. I gotta tell you though ... I was worried about hanging over the banister. But still too excited to say anything."<br />
<br />
"I got reflexes like a cat, you're safe with me, even when it doesn't seem like it."<br />
<br />
"Theirs a lot you need to teach me."<br />
<br />
"what are you talking about?"<br />
<br />
"We haven't been to spar yet," then closed her eyes again.<br />
<br />
"We'll do that next week," he put his arm around her and kissed her forehead, "so I'm leaving new York for six months."<br />
<br />
Her eyes opened and she sat up some, "why?" Then paused, "that ... Stuff ... You told me about?" Then pouted just a little and leaned back the way she was. Disappointed.<br />
<br />
"Cut that shit out. Do you understand how much trouble i could be putting you through? I get you think this whole time i was training for this huge war, but.. Yea right i do that shit because i know you actually enjoy it. If i fight its alone or with my soldiers..."<br />
<br />
She smiled, "yes, I enjoy it. You're leaving for 6 months to lay low?"<br />
<br />
"No, i don't hide from shit. I'm leaving to win."<br />
<br />
"Stay safe," she rubbed his leg, "please. And I want to hear from you whenever you have time."<br />
<br />
"Of course, " he nodded, "plus ill be fine, and you will too, no matter how it turns out."<br />
<br />
| Days Later |<br />
<br />
"Well ... WHAT HAPPENED?!" Janine ran through Tarin's opened door and flopped down on her couch.<br />
<br />
Tarin turned and looked at her crazy, "Bitch, fine is am understatement with that man by the way."<br />
<br />
"Told you ..." Janine nodded, very satisfied, "are your hips sore? Give me details, damnit!"<br />
<br />
"Well, he took me to eat at The Suite, he licked The Kitty in this private room and fucked me in the bathroom. He's rude as fuck in a sweet way. We then went to a hotel and fucked the whole night and morning. His dick us so girthy, shit, my pussy hurt up until last night. I keep having to take warm baths."<br />
<br />
Nodding, "I know the feeling," she smiled a little, "congratulations."<br />
<br />
"Girl, thank you. Were getting together again before he leaves."<br />
<br />
"You're welcome, baby doll. Glad you had fun."<br />
<br />
"How are you and Maddox?"<br />
<br />
"Good," grinning, "really good. Talk to KB yet?"<br />
<br />
"Wait a minute, explain 'good, really good.'"<br />
<br />
"We're ... Together." She nodded, "like for real, for real. I might joke with you about us only having sex but we ... Talk. a lot. We know what this was, what it turned into, and we're playing it by ear but we're playing together."<br />
<br />
"Ok. Kb and i agreed to disagree."<br />
<br />
"Good. That's kind of what we did anyhow."<br />
<br />
"Yea, we're fine."<br />
<br />
"Good. The separation of my parents was killing me." Janine smirked.<br />
<br />
"Parents? Stop, girl, i think i want to officially lose weight."<br />
<br />
"That's cool. You should come to the gym with me when I go tomorrow."<br />
<br />
"I will, just tired of being the cute fat girl."<br />
<br />
Janine wasn't about to go over the same shit she'd been over with Tarin before about her weight and blah blah blah. She was sick of it so she let it ride and nodded. Janine looked up and smiled, "I'm sure Maddox's uncle saw nothing but a juicy pussy and a nice mouth."<br />
<br />
"Bitch, i know, that man is beautiful."<br />
<br />
"Good job, gorgeous. Very good job."<br />
<br />
| 2 Months Later |<br />
<br />
"What's the scoop?" Janine finally caught up with Keith. It was a little after 6 and they'd decided on an early dinner so KB could get back to writing his material.<br />
<br />
"Lana and me broke up, so just been focused, loving the material im coning up with."<br />
<br />
SHe sighed, "why?"<br />
<br />
"Why are you sighing like that? Just because i was busy and i wasnt about to put my dreams in hold for her."<br />
<br />
"I just ... Thought ..." She mumbled under her breath, "that it might work out."<br />
<br />
"So did i, but it didn't, its fine, clearly God has a bigger plan."<br />
<br />
"Agreed," she smiled, "I'm so fucking excited for you!" She almost shrieked and then quieted herself. "I'm working on doing an E-Mag."<br />
<br />
"Thats amazing... Have you talked to Maddox since he disappeared off the face of the earth?"<br />
<br />
She laughed, "yes. Almost every day." Janine shrugged, "he's a busy man. Always. You are too, now."<br />
<br />
"And shit feels so good."<br />
<br />
"This glow fits you. Happy for you," she repeated, "don't forget the little people when you're touring Asia."<br />
<br />
"The woman who discovered me, please... You'll be riding right with me, you and tarinica's stubborn ass."<br />
<br />
"That's what I like to hear," she patted his and looked up at the food as the waiter sat it down.Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-77510319067385723192016-08-02T08:48:00.001-05:002016-08-02T08:48:28.746-05:00Doc's Little Girl - 11| 4 Months Later |<br />
<br />
Janine got pregnant almost immediately. Everything remained quiet as far as the Business was concerned but routine checks were done. Janine talked Maddox into moving into her house since it has the necessary security and she felt she'd need it if she were pregnant and shit popped off. One afternoon, security called into the house, "visitor at the gate."<br />
<br />
Janine turned the security feed on the tv and took a breath, then hit the intercom button, "let him in."<br />
<br />
Doc drove into the gate, finding a place to park which was behind Maddox's car. Stepping out, he began heading to the door which was opened by Janine, "look at you," he referred to the house.<br />
<br />
"It was needed," she smiled uncontrollably. "I can't believe you're here."<br />
<br />
"Yeah, me either," he walked up to her, and gave her the tightest hug, "you look beautiful."<br />
<br />
"Careful." She backed up and patted her stomach after kissing him on the cheek.<br />
<br />
"No way!" He smiled so big and softly held her stomach, "this is beautiful," he shook his head, "Maddox?"<br />
<br />
She nodded and they went inside. She showed him her ring, "you came back just in time."<br />
<br />
"Yes i did..." he looked around, "where's my boy? "<br />
<br />
"Maddox ..." Janine walked Doc to the den.<br />
<br />
"Yeah baby?" He was watching basketball and didn't even look away from the screen<br />
<br />
"Visitor. I'll give you two a minute." She smiled up at Doc again, then walked out.<br />
<br />
Maddox looked away from the tv and instantly grumbled to himself. He shit off the tv, "what?" He looked up to him.<br />
<br />
"Not going to give your old man a hug?"<br />
<br />
"No, what do you want?"<br />
<br />
Doc took a seat on the opposing couch. "To be here."<br />
<br />
"Ok, then be here, but dont expect me to be jumping at the chance to talk to you. When i tried, you didnt..."<br />
<br />
"I realize that. All I'm asking is to not be cut out."<br />
<br />
"Fine.." he nodded<br />
<br />
Janine came back with a butler behind her. "Are you hungry?" She asked Doc as the butler set up drinks.<br />
<br />
"Yes please, sweet heart." Doc looked to Maddox, "how's your mother?" He raised a brow.<br />
<br />
"She's doing fine i guess..." Maddox sighed, she really wasn't.<br />
<br />
Janine went back to make a spot for Doc. She'd feed him in front of the TV alongside Maddox, then retreat to her office. Doc kept going with Maddox, "Lia and Trent?"<br />
<br />
"Trent's son is two now, he's happy and celia is about to graduate."<br />
<br />
"My first grandson." He smirked, "what are you having?"<br />
<br />
"A little girl.."<br />
<br />
Right then, Doc laughed, a loud boisterous sound, "how about that ..."<br />
<br />
"Yea, im happy."<br />
<br />
Janine and the butler came back in with their food. It was buffalo wings. 3 different flavors that Janine made herself. She brought them beers, sides of mashed potatoes and ears of corn. "Im going to my office." She told them.<br />
<br />
"Ok baby.." Maddox grabbed Janine's hand and kissed it.<br />
<br />
Doc nodded, "thank you sweetheart."<br />
<br />
"Anytime." She left the room.<br />
<br />
| Hours Later |<br />
<br />
Doc sat through the basketball game and ate the food but didnt force the conversation. Sometime after, Janine called Doc into her office.<br />
<br />
He sat across from her "yes?"<br />
<br />
"Nothing," she laughed and just looked at Doc. "I'm just ... Glad I did what I did. It was worth it."<br />
<br />
"I have to say it, you've made me proud. I get to come back and live a normal life, get my family back."<br />
<br />
"Why did you do it in the first place? Get into the business. Did you have a choice?"<br />
<br />
"That's who i was, I'm no longer that person."<br />
<br />
Janine paused and leaned back in her chair, putting a hand on her stomach, "I ... thought I'd changed ... But I didn't. I loved it. Every bit of it."<br />
<br />
"Sweetheart, you are different. For me, the lifestyle was a choice, for you, the lifestyle chose you. This is just who you are, and so is this loving side of you."<br />
<br />
She squealed, "I'm so excited! Oh! Doc ... dad ... I'd be so honored if you'd give me away at the wedding. It's going to be another year or so but ..."<br />
<br />
"Of course, i would love to. Seems very quiet around these days."<br />
<br />
"Everyone is dead. So yea!" She beamed.<br />
<br />
"That would do it, i want you to be there when i propose to Lynn again."<br />
<br />
"Awwwwwwwww." She gushed, "of course."<br />
<br />
"Wont be for a while. Im going to see her when i leave. I have so much making up to do."<br />
<br />
"Good luck. I don't know how things are with her other than surface information. Maddox won't let me stalk."<br />
<br />
"Can you talk to him for me? I really want to fix this."<br />
<br />
"I will. I'll work on him for you," smiling.<br />
<br />
"Well I'm out of here," he stood, "i love you, and ill see you later, ok?" Doc and Janine hugged.<br />
<br />
| Later - Across Town |<br />
<br />
Doc showed up to lynn's and knocked on the door. Lynn was on the phone, talking to one of her girlfriends and opened the door. She looked up a her husband, "I'll call you back, Amanda." She ended the call, "you reappear."<br />
<br />
"I am here to beg for your forgiveness for as long as you need me to. Can I please come in?"<br />
<br />
Lynn only glared at him, then stepped back for him to come in.<br />
<br />
Doc walked in as she closed the door. They made their way to the living room to sit, "how are you, baby?"<br />
<br />
"Do you have an explanation?" She ignored his question.<br />
<br />
"Of course, but how are you?"<br />
<br />
"Lets hear the explanation first."<br />
<br />
"I moved away to keep my family from being killed. I wanted out of the Business and there's just no quitting, so i faked my death. None of what i put you through was something i really wanted to do, it was something I had to do, to ensure your safety."<br />
<br />
"How did you get out then? How are you here if you're obviously not dead or hiding?"<br />
<br />
"The person who took over got rid of everyone..."<br />
<br />
"So this person... Did you a favor? You hurt me. All you had to do was tell me."<br />
<br />
"No. I wouldnt change it, because now I have the rest of our lives to make it up to you. We can make it all like new again."<br />
<br />
"No. We can not. You may leave now, Maddox."<br />
<br />
"I'm not leaving. We havent finished talking. I dont mean to excuse anything i did, but give me the chance to court you like i did in the beginning. Remind you of why you loved me to begin with."<br />
<br />
"Get out of my house! I don't want to see you!" She stood up, "get out!"<br />
<br />
He looked at her and nodded, "if you know one thing about me. You know I'm not done. Ill see you tomorrow," he stood and went to the door and left.Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-39255674991777837362016-04-05T12:20:00.000-05:002016-04-05T12:20:02.617-05:00Just a quick note ...Hey guys.

<br />
"Tell Tarin, tonight us a go." Maddox spoke to Janine in the phone.<br />
<br />
"Oh hell yes. Do i get to see him before hand? I adore him," she laughed.<br />
<br />
"The fuck for? You don't get to fuck him." Maddox raised a brow.<br />
<br />
She laughed, "joking. What time?"<br />
<br />
"9 pm, my penthouse, no panties."<br />
<br />
"You want an outsider in your penthouse ... Okay. I'll bring her."<br />
<br />
"Yes my penthouse he's gonna pick her up from there."<br />
<br />
"Okay. See you at 9. Want anything?"<br />
<br />
"Nope surprise me ..."<br />
<br />
| Later |<br />
<br />
They arrived a little before 9. Janine walked Tarin to the penthouse elevator, "no drawz right?" Janine lifted up the back of Tarin's dress.<br />
<br />
Tarin swatted at her, "naw, none! Do i look cute?" Tarin raised a brow, "would you fuck me?"<br />
<br />
Smiling, "yes and yes."<br />
<br />
"Good!" She cheesed, "what are you and Asshole doing tonight?"<br />
<br />
"Screwing probably." They stepped into the elevator.<br />
<br />
"Damn us that all you do?"<br />
<br />
"Course not. We ... Date," smiling.<br />
<br />
Janine and Tarin got out of the elevator and was met by a guard at the front door. They were let in immediately. Maddox was talking on the phone. Saw Janine and winked at her and puckered his lips at her. She really did bring the old Maddox out.<br />
<br />
She smiled and waved at him, then walked Tarin to a sitting room where she couldn't hear him talking, just in case. "Your face is so pretty I hate you," Janine chuckled, talking to Tarin.<br />
<br />
"Girl stop.." Tarin blushed, "hard to believe that when you haven't had a man in 2 years."<br />
<br />
"It's gettin harder and harder out there for us, girl. That's all."<br />
<br />
"Girl shut up, you got a man."<br />
<br />
"This is still very new," she laughed, "I'm feeling really excited right now. I don't know why," She tapped her hands on her thighs.<br />
<br />
"Excited about ...?"<br />
<br />
"I don't know! I'm just happy is all. KB is in the studio RIGHT THIS MINUTE with Pharrell, you're about to get some D and my mother called to yell at me today about a picture of Maddox kissing me on the street," she looked at her a little funny, "she was pissed I didn't tell her."<br />
<br />
"Your mom is a trip."<br />
<br />
Just as she said that Maddox came over, "Tarin..."<br />
<br />
Tarin turned around and then stood up, "yea?"<br />
<br />
"Your 'ride' is here," Janine whispered to her as she used her fingers for quotes, then giggled.<br />
<br />
"Yea... Geno will take you down.." A huge Samoan stood next to Janine waiting.<br />
<br />
Janine hugged Tarin, "text me in the morning," then Tarin waved and left.<br />
<br />
A soon as Tarin left, Maddox excused the other guards so him and Janine were alone, "how was your day gorgeous?"<br />
<br />
"Perfect. Got some work done, talked to my mom, played with my kitty," she stood on her toes and kissed him.<br />
<br />
Maddox pulled her closer as they continued to kiss, he then wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "i got something made for you."<br />
<br />
"What is it?" She smelled his cologne, then gently grabbed his butt, "you smell nice."<br />
<br />
"Thank you, baby," he kissed her cheek, and then walked back to her with a long box, "go on open it."<br />
<br />
She half smiled and pulled the ribbon off, then opened the box. Staring at it a minute, she full-out smiled, "it's ... So ... Beautiful." It was a shotgun with high gloss wood and custom matted chrome. The slide ejector release and trigger were small enough to fit her finger and easy enough for her to slide quickly if needed, "damn ..." She just looked at it, seeing her name engraved on the chrome, "this is amazing. Thank you!" She cheesed still.<br />
<br />
"absolutely, tomorrow, we shoot... With our big boy guns.." He smirked<br />
<br />
"YES!" She fist pumped and rubbed her hand over it, "this is so dope!"<br />
<br />
"You're welcome."<br />
<br />
"When are you going to come see Luna?" They walked out of the sitting room and to the couch in the TV room.<br />
<br />
"Luna? Your cat? When you come see kunta," he referred to his pet monkey. Offensive yes, but he named the little guy after one of the characters in his favorite movie, roots.<br />
<br />
"You named that damn thing Kunta? Where is it? Let me see it."<br />
<br />
He laughed, "at the estate... I had a huge cage built for him with lots of trees and vines and shit."<br />
<br />
"God," she leaned back on the couch, "what a mess," pausing, "by the way. I'm not wearing any panties either."<br />
<br />
"oh, i know, you know the rules. I'm just not ready."<br />
<br />
"Was your day ok?" She got up from the couch and went to get her purse from the sitting room. When she came back, she pulled out a small jar of honey and sat it on the table in front of him.<br />
<br />
"Yea, it was good, lots of paper work. Yours?"<br />
<br />
"2 interviews and some editing work. Album review and mulling over if I want to do an E-Mag."<br />
<br />
"Why mull when you can just do it, the sky is your first limit, and next is outer space. Just go for it, the stars are closer than you think." He sat back.<br />
<br />
"And it would be a lot more cost effective. It can be accessed by anyone with a net connection ... Which is most these days. And there would be no paper involved and none of that crap," she sighed. A little relieved. "I'll do it. People are coming to me for things now. It's odd, but flattering."<br />
<br />
He smiled, "I'm proud of you."<br />
<br />
"I'm proud of me too," she removed her shoes, then took the remote and turned on the TV, put her legs across his lap and turned on Archer.<br />
<br />
"You up for honesty hour?" He smiled, "we can ask each other anything and no matter what it has to be the truth. Even if its something from the past that we might've questioned.<br />
<br />
Janine nodded, "if things don't work out for us ..." She turned the TV down, "what happens? I know things about you ... Although i wouldn't every broadcast it ... Still ..."<br />
<br />
"You keep your job, we coexist, unless you betray me."<br />
<br />
She nodded, "i can understand that," and rubbed the back of his head.<br />
<br />
"Would you ever turn me in or rat me out?"<br />
<br />
Janine shook her head. "Two reasons. One, i wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Two, I'm a little soft for you," smirking.<br />
<br />
"Aww shucks." He kissed her cheek, "your turn."<br />
<br />
"This mafia thing ... Family thing i assume? That fine uncle that left out of here with my Tarinica."<br />
<br />
"Both uncles, and my father. Its something i got into after i stopped working for Ricardo."<br />
<br />
"You worked for him? Why? And how long?"<br />
<br />
"He saved me from being murdered, and when he needed me too return the favor, which was right away, i worked as the enforcer. Specializing in torture, gun, and knife play. I worked for him for almost two years until i killed half his army and escaped to new York where my father lived at the moment. Then i joined My family, and five years later i was a superstar, and posing off the Russians."<br />
<br />
"Very cinematic. Is it weird that all those bad things you told me just turned me on?" She frowned and pressed her legs closed a little tighter.<br />
<br />
"No, not at all. What else turns you on?"<br />
<br />
"All that badass stuff. A fight. Oh my goodness, as juvenile as that sounds, I'd probably rip your clothes off after seeing you fight someone."<br />
<br />
He laughed, "show me how."<br />
<br />
Her eyes glazed over with delight. "I can't right now," blushing, "it has to be in the moment. Or maybe a crazy man with a gun chases me around my house to try and rape me," Janine took a deep breath and clutched her pearls, "you'd get ridden so hard that night," and laughed.<br />
<br />
"Don't threaten me with a good time, "he squeezed her inner thigh.<br />
<br />
"No threat," get breathing picked up, "i'm up for that scenario."<br />
<br />
"Run it by me again.."<br />
<br />
Smiling and standing, "its dark ... I'm home alone and then i hear something," smiling, "i look for where the sound came from and he pops out of nowhere with a gun. I run. He catches me and throws me down."<br />
<br />
Maddox grabbed a remote and turned off all the lights and just sat there, he grabbed a gun, that was in one of his many hiding places, removed all the bullets from it, and cocked it, just for effect, he stood as he heard Janine move away from him.<br />
<br />
"Oh crap," she backed up smiling, and then ran for the stairs, or where she figured the stairs would be. It wasn't pitch black but it was damn sure dark enough.<br />
<br />
Maddox heard her running up the stairs and headed in that direction. He moved up the stairs like he would if he was trying to close in on an enemy. Hearing her loop to the left side into his bedroom, he shook his head and went another way that allowed him to get in through his closet. He had a bunch of passage ways like this in his penthouse and in his mansion. He knew she'd be expecting him to go the original way.<br />
<br />
Janine let out a quiet sigh, standing by the bathroom door. She shuffled around and then stilled, trying to see if she could hear anything but couldn't. She knew Maddox came up the stairs but didn't hear him anywhere. She quietly walked out of the bedroom and down the hall way towards the guest rooms and towards the stairs to look for him, "Maddox ..."<br />
<br />
Just as she called him a second time, a hand covered her mouth and she felt something cold and blunt being pressed against her temple, "if you scream, i will fucking kill you. If you fight back, i will fucking kill you, and if you dont get on your knees right now and suck my dick, i will fucking kill you," Maddox spoke convincingly into her ear.<br />
<br />
She gasped and then shivered, so turned on she could hardly think and wondering why he went along with it. Wiggling just a little, she slipped down to the floor, then turned around and grabbed his pants. It was dark upstairs and she could hardly see but saw his hand lower with the gun in it. She sighed and stuck his dick in her mouth.<br />
<br />
Maddox made a tight grip around Janine's hair to control the speed she went. He then stopped her from going up and slowly slid her mouth lower on his dick.<br />
<br />
She was thinking that this was about to be everything she expected so she made sure his pants fell to the floor and continued sucking. When he let go of her hair, there was her opening. She fell backwards on her butt and took a second to breath, then back up and got up, feeling the stair railing, then inched her way to the stairs and down them again. She was so gonna dream about this later.<br />
<br />
Maddox was done with the foreplay portion. He pulled her up by her hair, bent her over the rail of the banister and put himself inside, drilling the hell out of her.Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-68099339676452895052016-03-28T15:05:00.000-05:002016-03-28T15:05:10.230-05:00Doc's Little Girl - 10| 1 Week Later |<br />
<br />
They laid low to survey the news and see if anyone had heard anything. When Janine was satisfied, they headed back to California on a multitude of different flights and their covers in tact. Janine got home and fell into her bed. She hadn't slept most of the trip and she needed to catch up on it desperately. Maddox wasn't informed on when she would be back so he just showed up and found her sleeping with her head under a pillow. Smiling, he got down to his knees and reached over to her, i missed you" he pulled her to the edge of the bed.<br />
<br />
"Hey you ..." She mumbled out and then curved her body around him.<br />
<br />
"Hey baby," he climbed to the bed, "how are you?"<br />
<br />
"Tired but recuperating." Still with her eyes closed, she pulled the cover up over them both and buried her face in his chest, "I missed you."<br />
<br />
"Oh yeah? " He ran his hand through her hair.<br />
<br />
Nodding, "did you bring sunshine?" She referred to his dick.<br />
<br />
"Nah, left it at home?"<br />
<br />
She chuckled, "Sunshine is like American Express."<br />
<br />
He removed her panties and parted her legs, "you right about that" he licked a few fingers and then stuck them inside her and began to rub her spot slowly.<br />
<br />
Poor Janine still hadn't figured out how to properly flirt so American Express was what she came up with. That next morning, they went out for breakfast and stayed out all day, "I think i should buy you a ring or something ... Right?" Janine asked Maddox in an awkward fashion. They were walking past Tiffany's, "something manly, though. Is that how it works when you want to get married?"<br />
<br />
"So you trying to take my manhood away?"<br />
<br />
Her eyes widened. She even panicked a little. Maddox was a man ... A real man. She'd never want to threaten his manhood. She just didn't know how a marriage proposal process was supposed to work. "Of course not. But I understood it as whoever asks first. I know that in those black n white films, the woman waited for the proposal but what if I want to propose to you? Do I still have to wait?"<br />
<br />
"Janine, don't "<br />
<br />
She held her hands up to surrender, "sorry."<br />
<br />
"Look i love you, but dont ever in your life get down on one knee and propose to me."<br />
<br />
"I got it now."<br />
<br />
"Thank you..." he kissed her forehead, "so when can i put a baby in you? Still two years? "<br />
<br />
"Yes, but there's only about 7 months of that left. So ... Soon," she put her head on his arm momentarily, then they started walking before they stopped again to get food from a cart. Janine got a chicken and steak fajita with everything on it except tomatoes. "how many do you want, anyway?"<br />
<br />
"20."<br />
<br />
Janine stopped midbite, "no."<br />
<br />
He smiled, "4 at the most."<br />
<br />
"I can do that."<br />
<br />
"I know you can" he rubbed her ass, "you have come a long way, you know that?"<br />
<br />
"You proud of me?" Smiling.<br />
<br />
"Yes, and grateful, i wouldn't want to break up with you for remaining weird."<br />
<br />
"You REALLY would have put me down that?"<br />
<br />
"Fuck yeah Janine, i dont want a woman who cant reciprocate the affection i need. Yeah, ive done a lot of shit, and when i met you, i was this stone wall, but thats not me. I always wanted a good relationship with my father and i didnt care how to go about it and then boom." He looked her in the eyes, "when i met you, i thought you were legit the most beautiful girl ive seen, even more so than Sasha, but the reason i didn't make stronger moves, was that whole weird murdery thing you had goin. It was a turn off."<br />
<br />
Thankfully, she knew she was still weird and murdery, but not around him. She nodded, "I understand how that can be a turn off. I didn't realize how bad it was. Sasha had to show me."<br />
<br />
"Yeah, and i dont care what choose to do outside of you and me, as long as you give me the girl i fell in love with."<br />
<br />
"No problem." She bit and chewed up more fajita, swallowed, then said, "you didn't get one."<br />
<br />
"I'll eat at home" he rubbed her head.<br />
<br />
| Months Later |<br />
<br />
"That's everything. It all looks good. Cubans are attempting to regroup with all new people but they won't be an issue. Mackey is still on board. According to everyone, there is no more Italian Mafia operating inside the United States, just a branch of it headed up by an unknown that is running basically everything. They'll be asking questions soon, I'm sure of it," Carson notified Janine of the entire sweep being completely successful.<br />
<br />
"For now. Keep monitoring ... better than the NSA."<br />
<br />
"You got it," he paused, "it's ... safe now." He mentioned to Janine, referencing Doc.<br />
<br />
Janine nodded, "What of the remaining organizations who knew Doc?"<br />
<br />
Carson laughed, "Joseph says they're claiming ignorance. Never heard of him."<br />
<br />
Nodding, that was good. That was very good. She'd accomplished her goal. Business was still going as usual. Arms deals were running smoothly, information still being passed and her small corporations she created to clean out dirty money were actually pretty legit. They were good. "I just ... Need to be sure. Thank you. I'll call you later. Enjoy the bonus."<br />
<br />
"Already on it," Carson hung up.<br />
<br />
Janine ended the call and pulled out a burner, dialing Carmine. "Hello?" He answered.<br />
<br />
"Clear." Janine hung up.<br />
<br />
Now all she had to do was wait. She knew Carmine would do some checking of his own and that was fine with her. She doubted anyone thought she could clean up the US in 2 years or at all. But when you kill first and not ask questions, things move a little more swift than usual.<br />
<br />
| Later that night |<br />
<br />
Janine went over to Maddox's with a bottle of wine and groceries in her arm.<br />
<br />
Opening the door, "what's up babe?" He took everything from her arms and kissed her lips.<br />
<br />
"Absolutely nothing," she kissed him again and closed and locked the door, then followed him to the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"Good, what you do all day?"<br />
<br />
"Business ... All day. But ... we can make a baby now."<br />
<br />
"Oh can we?" His smile grew bigger, "dont tease me with a good time"<br />
<br />
"I'm not teasing. We can do this. We're celebrating," she motioned to the wine, "ta da!"<br />
<br />
He sat everything down, "oh baby, you have made me the happiest man on earth," he picked her up off the ground.<br />
<br />
"I even bought parenting books." She kissed him.<br />
<br />
He smiled and kissed on her some more, "we startin tonight" he put her down.<br />
<br />
"I threw my birth control out already. Let me make dinner."<br />
<br />
He smiled and just kissed her on the head, and then watched her go for the pots and pans, "use the new ones in the box baby."<br />
<br />
"Are these Martha Stewart? I love ..." She started pulling the pots and pans out, "Martha Stewart," and put them in the sink to wash when she stopped, "Oh my g o ddddddd," she said in a small whiney girl voice.<br />
<br />
Maddox walked to her, "i love you. Its that simple baby," he removed the ring from the pot, "There is no one in this world that I'd rather be with. Will you marry me?"<br />
<br />
"God. Yes." And this moment was why she'd killed so many people. No, she wouldn't say that, but she was over the moon.<br />
<br />
Maddox put the ring on her finger and grabbed her head to kiss her long and hard, "i love you" he said between the kiss and then hugged her, "now make me dinner, woman."<br />
<br />
Smiling, "Okay baby!"Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-4516629514826209732016-03-18T12:33:00.000-05:002016-03-18T12:33:16.016-05:00Doc's Little Girl - 9<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine and Sasha retreated to the office once they got back to the house, "What else did you learn?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"His camp is weak. Still strong in the police departments though. And he is not smart enough to maintain his business operations. He's focusing too hard on one person. Thats a fraction of the competition thats so irrelevant."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When that one person was wiping people out, that's very relevant. Joseph thought she was Asian. Nice. "It's never been a very strong camp but ... having an ally with eyes close by is an asset. Can you set up a phone call for me with him? Tomorrow," she reached into the bottom drawer of her desk and passed Sasha a paper bag with a burner cell in it, "tell him to expect the call around 3."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sasha nodded and crossed her legs while taking the bag, "plus ive got him wrapped around my finger. No problem."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 2 Months Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cutting people down from the bottom up, as Doc suggested, wasn't working. Too many experienced unwillingness to work for a woman ... A woman that wasn't blood related to the Ames or Agnello's no matter what Doc had said. So what did Janine do? She fired the lower branch and killed the higher branch. The rest that were in other areas, she disbanded the outfit. Janine needed to bring Doc, her father, home, and would do it by any means necessary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Only about 20 of Doc's men were respectful enough to stay on the job. The ones who'd been around Janine and Doc together and understood the relationship. They would stay on board, mostly as her personal security. Janine treated them the same as Doc did so nothing for them had changed. In the meantime, she would have them pick up a few guys. She had specific qualifications. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inside a warehouse in the dead of night, Janine was having a meeting. She was covered in black from head to toe. All they saw were her eyes and heard her voice, now knowing it was a woman. Roughly twenty men were in the room and one of them was Jerry McKissick. He was recently released from prison after serving 13 years for sexual assault of a minor. The minor was 9 years old. She'd just given all of them the brief overview of what was to be expected of them. Not all of them were as bad off as Jerry, but most of them were. No job or low paying job, halfway house living, homeless, or almost back in jail. She'd just offered them a clean start in exchange for loyalty and a paycheck.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jerry McKissick, however, had more questions, "you know what we all did. Why would you want us? Don't you think we might hurt you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No." Janine answered quickly and walked up to where Jerry was sitting. "You're a pervert, not stupid. There's a difference. I need an army. I need a level of trust. Small from my end, large from yours. And if any of you walk out of here and I find out any of you said anything, you're dead. You will see me and I will murder you. Screaming."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I can make you scream, baby," Jerry reached out and put his hand on Janine's hip, then started moving towards her ass. Lighting quick, she pulled a knife out of a sheath in the long sleeve of her black shirt, and stabbed Jerry in the neck, unmoving as he gurgled some of the blood that was squirting out of his neck. She sighed and looked at him as he clutched onto her legs, "disrespect," she said loud enough for everyone to hear. The room was pin drop quiet, "if anyone wants to challenge me ... Now is the time," she backed up from Jerry's dead body and went to a small open space, "be aware that this is a fight to the death." She lifted a finger and crooked it, calling to her anyone who felt willing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One stood, cracking his knuckles and walking out towards her. He was a big man. Janine shook her head, "shame. I could have really used you." The murmurs started. Janine was only 5 foot 2 inches tall, only modestly muscled but impeccably trained. Doc, personally, trained her, so she was a machine. "Would you like a weapon?" She asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I don't need no weapon to put you down, you little bitch." He was big but not wide. Muscular. He used his downtime in jail for working out. He had healed scars on his body. He'd survived some nice knife fights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Disrespect," Janine said and stood there waiting on his slow approach. "Any day now."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He swung at Janine as soon as he got to her. She ducked under him and punched him, a haymaker punch, to the small area in the center of his chest where his ribs met. Air whooshed out of him and he backed up, trying not to hunch forward. Underneath Janine's gloves, she always wore small brass knuckles. Doc always told her not to 'get lazy and think someone can't take a punch. Hit hard enough to break something, every time,' he'd always said. Janine gave the guy no time to recover, she punched him in the jaw, the gut, the kidney, and finally the neck. The blows came in rapid succession. The big man backed up to the wall, face read, she'd crushed his wind pipe. Janine tilted her head to the side, then said to everyone, "this is what the lighter side of disrespect looks like ... That," she pointed to Jerry, "is the darker side. If we have a deal, you may go. I'll meet you back here in 3 days." She pulled back and punched the man, as hard as she could, right in his chest, over his heart. His eyes went wide and he dropped to the ground.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 8 Months Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine successfully amassed the army she wanted. Not only were they insanely loyal but were ready and eager to go on missions after they were properly trained. She slept easier knowing they were watching the house around the clock.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine still held onto her aloof outward appearance in case any questions came up. More months passed and preparations were nearly complete to begin shutting down opposing operations and bring her 'dad' back home. "I need 30 ... for each location," she was talking to Carson on the phone. "Burners and hand weapons. Preferably switch blades."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Quick and quiet?" He was making mental notes. Carson was a smart ass tech nerd who used to work for the Pentagon. The Pentagon always employed nerds who would literally spend all day trying to break the Pentagon's encryption. That way, they would find out if the encryption could be broken, how, and how they can keep it from happening again. Carson, had cracked it 3 times, once after every update. Instead of giving him a much needed raise and promotion, they deemed him too dangerous and 'retired him' at the age of 28 with full pension along with signing multiple stacks of paperwork that said he would basically never do any technical job or say he ever worked for the government.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes." Janine responded, "I also want hand guns with high quantity rounds that can be suppressed. I want them in swat gear as well."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Got it... and should these all happen simultaneously?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"They must. We're arriving, suiting up, then going in. Your guys have to monitor."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What will be your point of position, boss?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'll let you know. I'm going for the big fish myself. Just get enough gear for my men." She paused, "wait. I'll need extra when i got to New York to get the Russians. Add an extra 10."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Absolutely. Anything else from me?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"That's it. Send me the figures so I can get the money wired to you for purchases."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes ma'am," he said in an excited tone and hung up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 3 Months Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine and her team went to New York and took down the entire Russian outfit that had overwhelmed Doc to the point of leaving. Yvgeny, their top dog, was said to have been the one who 'killed Doc' and would brag about it anywhere he went. Yes, the Italians left the Russians bloody on that last mission, but definitely not dead. They didn't know that. All they knew is that Doc's 'body' had been discovered a mile from their final fight zone. That was good enough for them. Yvgeny was taken back to California and put in that sub basement of the hideout house and left there until Janine could decide what to do with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not long after that, Janine needed to take down anyone who helped the Russians. The Cubans needed to go. Janine and 30 men in SWAT gear were rolling through a Miami, FL suburb in plumbing vans in the middle of the night. They had radio com equipment in their ears, guns, enough bullets on each person to reload 10 times over, and a single blade they kept close to their heart in case worse came to worse. About 5 miles from the compound, Janine radio'd everyone, "Anyone not in our gear ... Dies. None of them walk away. I'm talking maid service, animals, kids, I don't give a fuck. If anyone lives to tell the story, you won't. Understood?" She got grumbles of approval from each appointed captain in each van. Janine, decked out in SWAT gear as well, prepared to go in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 vans of men were given a 15 minute head start to deal with the outside guards. With night vision goggles on, they moved quietly throughout the grounds, picking off the outside guards from the tower, perches, and even dogs. When that 15 was up, the front van stormed the gate and inside they went.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By the end of it, Janine had lost only 5 men whose bodies were taken back to the van. Ricardo Montega was found in his safe room with his woman. "Cut communications off to the outside," she said to Carson in the earpiece. Once he signaled it was down, Janine pulled her face gear off and looked at Ricardo, "so who is this?" She referred to his woman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He looked at her with an unbothered smile, "Bridgette."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You can go now, honey." Janine told her, also confident she would be taken care of once she left the safe room. Looking back at Ricardo, Janine took a seat and smiled, "sources say you helped the Russians 'off' Doc Ames."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Please... but i wish I had," he looked to Janine, "my colleagues took care of that."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Your colleagues? Ygveny and his friends? The ones who were killed in a raid about 3 days ago?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ricardo's smile faltered just a little. There was no way anyone could break through Yvgeny's defenses. He was swarmed by people at all times. Was this true? "And ... Who are you, beautiful?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Just some muscle ... closing a wound."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Muscle? That supple body?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine smiled, "you would be surprised. Anything you want to say before you're put to sleep?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ricardo laughed, "just do it.." he smoked his cigar, honestly not believe he was about to go down due to a ... Woman. A very small woman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Good man," Janine walked out and the firing squad ensued. She passed Bridgette's dead body on the way down a grand staircase, "everyone out," she yelled. When they came out, Carson thumbed up from a van, signaling the coms were back on, "blow that shit and let's get out of here."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 minutes later, all men were out and the place lit up like the 4th of July. They all piled into the vans to go hold up until they could leave to check in at the next location.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">40 miles away, Alonzo Montega met his demise. He wasn't involved, but his twin was Ricardo and Janine couldn't take that chance. Pulling up to Alonzo's, it was already engulfed in flames, "looks like we're right on time," Carson smiled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I need confirmation ..." Janine got out of the van but told Carson, "tell D Vaz to bring the body so I can see it myself."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Afterwards? You never instructed for him to bring the body."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine took a deep breath and then nodded, she turned to the 5 other men she rode with, "find D Vaz and bring him to me now. Thank you," then she sat on the inside of the van. New frustration on her face. While they were getting him, Janine asked Carson, "was their any surveillance inside?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"There was surveillance at all locations."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Let me see the feed from here ... Before I kill this man." She went to the monitor and leaned on the console. Carson nodded, not sure why a man had to die because she neglected to mention one detail. But in Janine's mind, it was an unspoken rule. She'd worry about that another time. Pulling up the camera feed, he handed the small tablet over to her. Janine watched Montega's execution. At least Alonzo had more spark in him than Ricardo. Alonzo went down shooting even though he lost. Still, there was no body Janine could pick at even though the feed said things were handled properly. And still, Alonzo's body was there when the outside camera feed captured the explosion. After she was done viewing the footage, DVaz appeared, "it's common knowledge that I want to see the body when I'm not personally involved. I'm a woman. Actions speak louder than words. Don't make that mistake again. Let's get ready to pull out." Everyone nodded and they left to the safe house.</span>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-64854515034906628572016-03-18T12:15:00.001-05:002016-03-18T12:15:27.557-05:00Undercover Superstar - 12<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Days Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What kind of place is it?" Janine stood in a closet looking at clothes. They were about to get to a party.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Stop with all these questions, just throw on a black dress withnounderwear, and be done with it..." He slid on a pair of linen slacks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She rolled her eyes, her back still turned to him and did as she was told. She strode past him and put the black dress on and picked out some shoes without another word, "is this to your liking?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Anything you put on its to my liking ..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not long after, they were out of the door, "should have brought a camera," she mumbled to herself. She left her phone and purse at the villa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Would you like me to get you one?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No. It's fine." Rubbing her hand up his leg, "do you miss being ... Normal?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"yes. I love fame, i hate who i am... The military side of me. I'm not a nice person."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Can't picture it ... Don't want to I guess."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"There's certain things about me, I'm dying to tell you, but if i do it'll ruin everything. Us ..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Try?" She held his hand, "I don't scare off too easily."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"That's because the shit i got going is bigger than anything you could possibly imagine."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Is it why you don't sleep much? Or is that just your general rule of thumb?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Its exactly why i don't sleep much."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I see. Alright. I won't give you a hard time about it."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He nodded, "thank you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Week Later - New York |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their sexy time in France ended and they went back to the states. And as promised, Janine put that call in to Ricardo when she settled herself at home, with her cat, after she'd picked her up from Tarin's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Heyy girl how was France?" Tarin rolled her eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Fine? What's the matter with your face?" Janine pointed at Tarin's eyes, then picked up the kitty from the arm of the couch, "hi boo boo."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Uhh nothing... I'm glad you had a good time though."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"My baby give you any problems?" Then went to the carrier and put her inside while she gathered the rest of the cat supplies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No she was sweet."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"So ..." Janine continued to gather, "I was asked to not date anyone else. I don't want to get my hopes up."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Are you serious? Is he allowed to date anyone else?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Those 2 women he had ... Doesn't have them anymore. Hasn't for a month. I didn't even notice cause I was too busy trying to keep it about the sex. It feels like he wants to actually DO something. Did all this cryptic talk about wanting to expose me to his life but doesn't want to ruin us."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He's a singer what else could be so bad?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I think he's just being weird. As busy as he is ... That nigga just being weird."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hmmm sooooooo when do i get some good i-talian Dick?" She smirked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He's going to set it up so I'll give you as much notice as I can so you can go get waxed," Janine picked up the stuff and started to the door.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"ok, see you later girl.." They hugged and parted ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine was sitting on a chaise un Maddox's office in his penthouse, while he sat at the desk. Cheyenne walked in, "Maddox, what the fuck us this?!" She tossed a stack of papers to his desk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox looked down at the papers she threw at him, and then at her like he could knock her head off. Janine looked a bit concerned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"My contract with you is suppose to be over in two months, this says I'm not done for two years what the FUCK, do you think you're doing?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox shook his head, "i think it might be in your best interest, to lower your goddamn voice ..." Maddox removed his reading glasses, "don't you see, i have a guest?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I don't give a fuck about her.." Cheyenne spoke whole heartedly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine raised an eyebrow and sat forward, "what the hell I do to your ass?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheyenne ignored Janine and continued, "I've done every got damn thing you've wanted the past 5 years. I have 2 months, like we originally discussed. Not 2 more years!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Last time i checked i make the damn demands," he walked around the desk, "you are so fucking lucky you didn't end up 6 feet under for good for what you and your family did to me. Cheyenne, apologize to Janine for your disrespect."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cheyenne lifted her chin and held her ground, "I will not apologize to her until you honor our original deal."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Janine, leave..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That tone he took made her give a hard swallow, then quietly, and quickly, get up, and leave the room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As soon as Janine left, Maddox grabbed Cheyenne by her neck and slammed her face to the desk, "if you want to have an adult conversation you better show me some fucking respect. Whether it be private, in front of my woman or wherever, show me some fucking respect. If i have to tell you again, you won't get a chance to redeem yourself, go apologize to Janine, and I'll think about when I'm ready to discuss details!" He released her and pushed her towards the door. She wiped a lone tear from her eyes and went to find Janine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine was across the penthouse, about to take a seat on the couch when Cheyenne walked up to her, "Janine," she cleared her throat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ya?" Standing, Janine was about to fold her arms, then just looked at her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her eyes her red, almost not wanting to look her in the eyes, "I'm sorry for the disrespect. Mr Ames will see you now..." She walked off, now balling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine felt bad for the girl. She'd never heard Maddox yell at anyone and wasn't sure if that was all he did based on his comments earlier. When she went back into the office, she took her previous seat and looked at Maddox a moment, "i ... Shouldn't ... Even ... Ask. Right?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ask what Janine? Did she apologize to you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes. And she was crying. Completely shaken to her core."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Serves her right..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What did she do to you? What could she have done that was so bad to threaten her life?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He looked at her and sighed, "you want a lie or can you handle the truth. Seriously ask yourself that!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The truth," she told him convincingly and stood back up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"She and her family tried to take me and my family down. You remember the mysterious accident that landed Maddox Ames in the hospital? She ran me off the road. It was her."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Wooow ..." Janine sat back down, "okay." Nodding, "she works for you as ... Debt forgiveness?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Exactly... She WAS apart of the Russian mafia."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"That cute little thing?" Then paused, "you're dealing with the Russian mafia? That's ... Very bad."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh no.. Dealt. they're gone, for now." He looked into her eyes, "those Russians are bad, but us Italians are worse, because ain't none if those Russians as good of a shot as me, and none of them have the stomach, for the kind of shit I've done and can do. Cheyenne got off so easy, 2 extra years should be nothing to her."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine sat back down again with her elbows on her knees and her head down, trying to process this, "this is why you can't sleep ... This is what you didn't want me to see."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes ... Exactly." He sighed, "i pretend well ..." He referred to him being a famous pop singer, "and because of that, my security is thicker than the presidents. Because i may be just a song and dance act to millions, but only a slight few know the truth," he sat back in his chair, "are you afraid of me now?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She rubbed her forehead and her eyes, then looked at him, "I'm not necessarily afraid but concerned. How do I know you won't do anything bad to me?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Because you're my piece of reality, you're loyal, so damn sweet, and every bit of the woman i wanted when i was running around Memphis falling in love with every girl i thought was fly. You make me feel like my old self again."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now what the fuck was she supposed to say to that? One minute he was talking about killing people and the next minute he was talking sweet to her. But still, she was a sucker for his shit cause she nodded and leaned back on the chaise as she had once been, "ok. I'm convinced."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea? Good, just do me one favor, don't tell anyone my business."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I am more than certainly keeping my trap shut about this."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ok, thank you, and another thing. If you ever see Ricardo Montage again, run the other way and call me, you got it?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her eyes widened, "wow ... What ... An ... Ass. When i talked to him, after we got back, i told him i was taken. Ask he said was 'hmm, see you soon.'"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yeah, he's trying to get to me through you. This is why. i had you on surveillance-" she cut him off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You did WHAT?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"i put you under surveillance... To protect you"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She started to whine but changed her mind, "okay ..." The conversation was exhausting and she wasn't going to argue with that logic, "as far as Ricardo ... How much shit was I almost in by dealing with him?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Deep shit, he would've killed you without a second thought."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rolling her eyes, "really a blow to my ego," pausing, "this is why you taught me to shoot ... And rushed me to the club that day. I was talking to him downtown. I'll be damned."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He smiled, "i taught you to shoot because its sexy as fuck."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Whatever," she grinned, "terrible."</span>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-25833601725817978542016-02-03T13:56:00.001-06:002016-02-03T13:56:14.692-06:00Undercover Superstar - 11<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later On - The Suite |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kb just finished performing and Ceelo was on stage. When Janine saw Keith walking towards her, she fist pumped Pitbull style, then jumped on him and hugged him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea yea yea." He squeezed her body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"How do you feel?" They started walking to the press room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"so good.... So unreal man."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They went into the press room and Janine started the cameras, she did a brief introduction, "... Just came down from a concert high ... Or are you still floating?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Floatin ... Ive performed a million times, but this was just ..." He shook his head.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"This was your coming out party basically ... You're hooked up with Cee-Lo now, have yall discussed your first album yet?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes, we've already begun to work in the debut. I'm writing most of it, playing instruments; some funk, jazz, rock n roll, and chock full of sexy lyrics!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Which I expect ..." They talked and laughed then concluded the interview. After the cameras were turned off, Janine stood up, "go meet your adoring public. I'll call you when I get your performance up on the site."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you, J..." He hugged her and continued on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since Cee-Lo was on stage, Janine got herself a girly drink and leaned over the railing to watch the performance. She briefly noticed KB talking with someone while Lana added herself to the conversation. Janine sighed, "at least she has a man."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine sighed and then she felt a hand on her ass. Just as she was about too go off she realized it was Tarin, "Bitch..." They hugged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Where the hell were you hiding?" Janine rubbed her back, then let go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Just in the back, didn't want him to see me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine nodded, "still haven't talked to him?" They walked to the bar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Nope, but doesn't mean i won't support him even though he didn't want me here."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Damn, i wish things would go back to normal. And i need a date. A real one. A bitch is kind of lonely."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Wheres asshole Maddox?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Stop," she chuckled. "At home packing for vacay I think." And left out that she was supposed to go with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Poor you, must be sad he's leaving you here huh?" Tarin chuckled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Imgoingwithhim," she mumbled and told the bartender, "fuzzy navel."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh, so you guys are getting serious?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No! Its just a fun thing."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh, okay, good, because i hate him."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"And what if he turns out to be my prince charming ...?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"impossible, he's satan."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He might be a little difficult at times but he's not satan ... only the son."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It's getting serious, you're defending him. Hmm, liar..." Tarin crossed her arms over her chest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He knows i'm free to date ... He has 2 girlfriends still so he's not serious about me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I don't know, i haven't seen any gossip about them hoes."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He'd probably still got them," then thanked the bartender and took her drink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Youre right, you're probably just one of them to him."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ok Tarin ... You just need to get laid." Janine rubbed her back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yeah yeah yeah... I'm fine"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Next Day |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You didn't tell me where we're going. I have no idea what pack," Janine told Maddox over the phone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Pack nothing, i have everything you'll need."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Even female items that men won't mention?" She smirked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Panties? You won't need those. Bra? You want need that. What else?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She laughed, "I'll be completely free to draft upon draft. Alright. I'll be ready when you get here." Then grabbed a small carry-on to fill with her phone charger and other small items.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Better be..."he hung up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few hours later, Maddox was at her door. Janine had her purse on one shoulder and a backpack on the other. She turned off the last light, then went out of the apartment and locked up, "hi there," she smiled at him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hey.." He grabbed her backpack from her. "you look good. First woman, in my grown man years, that makes cleavage look classy..." He kissed her forehead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you," she hugged him and pecked his lips, then walked with him to the car, "how long will we be gone?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A week." He handed the driver her bag and they climbed in, "and no you cant know where we're going."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her smile fell, "because that's just what I was about to ask."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The driver landed them at the port where his private jet was. They climbed on as their bags were loaded on. 20 minutes later after last minute checks, they took off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 8 hours later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was early in the morning when they arrived in France. Janine was passed out. Maddox woke her, "Janine, were here."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She opened one eye, then the other and sort of grinned then stretched out her back, "here where?" She asked looking out of the window.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"France... St. Tropez to be exact."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her eyes widened, "get the ... Out of here."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yep..." He nodded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They soon got off the plane, had the car loaded and got inside, "you speak French?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes, french, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Damn ... Don't I feel plain."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"First off its morning, and its a vacation spot. You're just over dressed. We both are."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Which is why I don't get underwear ...?" Batting her eyes, "bathing suits galore."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No, that statement had nothing to do with St Tropez. No underwear because if were not sleeping, eating, out at a party or anything that requires us to be civilized. I want to be fucking you, period." They headed to Maddox's villa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes sir," she nodded and took her hair out of the ponytail, only to refit it tighter,"I'll only allow you to use me this way for this trip."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Use you?" He laughed, "i don't have to use you. I want you here because i like you, and i don't see my life without you anytime soon. If this was just a 'using you for sex' thing, do you believe that I'd fly you all the way to France, JUST to use you?" He scoffed, "get the fuck out of here.." He shook his head, "those girlfriends, everybody believes i still have, never got it this good."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She smiled, "it was a joke." Then squeezed his knee a little, "thank you for bringing me. We're going to have fun although I'm sure I won't be able to walk properly by the time we get back."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Damn straight..." he took her hair down, "no buns or ponytails this whole trip. Unless they are pig tails and you're role playing my dirty little school girl," he smirked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She gasped, "I like that shit."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Mmhmm..." He rested his hand between her thighs and began to nibble her right ear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Your appetite is insatiable. You didn't touch me the whole plane ride."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You are right, my drive never quits. You should've meet me when i was 15."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"That bad?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh yea, my girlfriend at the time hated it until i wore her down, and took her virginity, and then she couldn't get enough."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I didn't lose mine til college. My dad was the police captain so no matter where I went ... Those damn cops he employed were nod at me, wave, or something ... Just make sure I knew that I was being watched. Almost ruined my life. Glad I didn't lose it in high school though ... I probably would have gotten attached to whatever boy it was. You? Oh yea, I would have gotten attached to you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"i was a lover back then so yes, you would've one woman man until 20."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Pfft, only 5 years," she laughed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They arrived at Maddox's villa, showered and changed and were on their way out to check out the French Riviera, "I suppose you know everything good around here."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Absolutely not,"he said sarcastically, "what are things you absolutely won't do in the bedroom, or have done to you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Nobody touches my back exit. Won't do a threesome. Girls are cute and all but I'm just not into them like that. Just the thought of a threesome of me and two guys makes me want to run," she shivered, "other than that ... I'm flexible."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No threesomes? And i can't lick your ass? You WERE so perfect," he joked, "what do you like the most?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I like the ass slapping and the hair pulling the best."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know what i love?" He asked as she raised a brow, "eating pussy, slapping ass, pulling hair, a little s&m, i love my Dick sucked, i do eat ass, i love when a woman fuck me for a change, and i love seeing a woman play with herself. To name a few."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Just a few. And you would like all those things on this trip?" She nodded, "I can do that."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You just agreed to me eating your ass, you know?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yeaaaaaa," she sighed, "being open minded."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Good girl..." He kissed her temple, "who are you dating, besides me?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I had coffee with someone the other day but that's it. He has my number, though."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"When we get back, will you tell him you're off limits?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She slowed down walking and looked at him, "yes." Then tilted her head a bit, "what about you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What about me? I haven't been with those other women for a month..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Shut the front door ..." Regaining her original walking speed, "then I'm late to this party."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"yes you are, i told you i like you, you're clearly special to me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And deciding to change the subject, she kissed his cheek and kept walking. By the time they got back to the villa, it was close to dinner time and Janine was standing in the kitchen looking around. She knew he had a cook but thought she'd poke around. "You want a drink while I'm in here?" She asked Maddox.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No. I want you to get out so i can get in there and cook some of my famous lasagna."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I will allow that. I'll check my messages while you're in the kitchen."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Mmhm..." Maddox smacked her as while he passed her, "when you finish with that come into the kitchen, i have someone for Tarin."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'll check my messages later," she said as she walked back into the kitchen and leaned on the counter next to him, "do tell."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He smiled, "its not a relationship thing. Just a sex thing. I figured she needed that more than a relationship."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You are SO right."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"My uncle Constantine. After he met you, he's been bothering me to find him a woman just as beautiful as you with the same or similar skintone and i told him about Tarin. She's gorgeous, but a complete bitch, and my uncle loves a challenge. He said he'd love to meet her."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He's soooooooooooooooooooooo fine," she cooed, "Tarin will love this."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea, i bet, well when we get back we'll put it in motion."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you in advance. She's crabby without it," then walked out of the kitchen and to her cell phone texting Tarin, 'In France for a week. You get a hookup when we get back.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'hookup?'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'For fucking :-) Remember that really fine uncle I told you about? That's only 5 years older than Maddox. That one.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Shit... How did this come about?'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Wants someone my complexion.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'but you're skinny and I'm a fat ass, he won't like me.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Don't start that shit again. Just shut up and take the dick like a grown woman. TTYL.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'lol, love you..'</span>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-82791243905008026632016-02-03T13:37:00.003-06:002016-02-03T13:37:55.309-06:00Doc's Little Girl - 8<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| That Night |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I need the final dossier." Janine told Constantine over an Italian burner cell phone. "All of it. I know you have it."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What?" Constantine shook his head, "sorry wrong fuckin number!" He hung up the phone and then broke it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">30 minutes later she received a phone call, "come outside."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After that call, Janine busted up the cell, then went outside and started a stroll down the block. "Stop fucking mentioning him on phones, got it?" He pulled her to a cellar in the bottom of Nonna's, "what do you need to know?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You make me sad," she told Constantine, "everything. With detail."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Why? Is your life not good? You own everything. What more could you want?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Owning everything means nothing if I can't enjoy it."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Then start enjoying it. Doc has nothing to do with your happiness, consider him just a ghost."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He has everything to do with my happiness. Now give me what I asked for. I need to know who to make deaf, mute, and blind."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Dont you get it? I dont owe you shit. I made one promise, to my BLOOD. And you, are not that. If you had all these questions, you shoulda asked him when he came to you. You run shit, but you dont REALLY run shit, so stop waving your imaginary dick because it's pissing me off," he looked her in her eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You poor thing ... You really do have a problem with women as authority figures, don't you?" She said as sympathetically as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Dont patronize me, that's one way to be on your own. Im only helping you because of Doc, not out of the kindness of my heart. So watch your fucking mouth."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'll take that information now," was all she said. Was she defeated? No. But she needed what he knew and obviously couldn't hurt him to get it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Goodnight.." he began to leave.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Swear to God, i don't have time for your fucking BULLSHIT, CONSTANTINE." Now she was getting angry, "YOU DON'T LIKE ME, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I NEED TO GET SOMETHING DONE AND YOU HAVE WHAT I NEED BUT IM NOT GONNA SUCK YOUR GOT DAMN COCK TO GET IT."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Constantine continued to leave as Doc appeared, "some mouth on you," he locked the door behind him, "what do you want, Janine?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine straightened up as soon as she saw him, "sorry ..." She felt the need to explain herself, "he makes me angry."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He's only doing as i told him. Besides, Constantine pisses everyone off."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nodding, "I have to figure something out before I lose Maddox for good. We're breaking up for real when we get back to the U.S. Since I'm ... In this for life ... I need to clean up some loose ends so he and I can have a life together."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Doc smiled, he knew they would be something, "what's that sweetheart?" He walked to her and pulled her to a bench next to him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine gave him a big smile as they sat. She put one foot up on the bench and leaned forward a little, talking with her hands as he was explaining, in graphic detail, that she wanted to maim, for life, the people he dealt with on his last mission. She'd also decided to keep her face hidden and only work from Business approved burner cells to alter her voice as to keep her identity as shifty as possible. At the end of it, when she explained everything, "to cover my tracks, I'll kill them all."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"So why the urgency now?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Because we're breaking up when we get back to California!" She looked at him like he hadn't heard a word she said. "I need to not be broken up for too long, otherwise, he'll move on."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Janine is growing up. I never thought I'd see the day."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She threw her head back, "did you hear me?" She laughed. "What do you think?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I heard you. im just shocked by you and you let him break you down."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Frowning, "I did not." Then pressed her cheeks down to keep from smiling, "he wants kids. With me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes you did, my son is a charming bastard, and i heard that hes back to himself. That, im so grateful for. This work is no work for him. Have his children. I had kids while being in the business, and being sheriff."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"But you had to leave. I want to avoid that."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Doc nodded and took a deep breath, "if you want to do this. You must build armies within your army. You will have to take down multiple campuses at once, so that by the time they catch wind. It'll be too late."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Okay. And I hate to ask this but ... How unwilling will they be to work for me? The guys we have."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Very... you have to make examples and when you do that always go for bottom rank."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She took a deep breath, already thinking of who to start with, "okay. If I'm successful. Can you come back? To reconcile with Lynn?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I would love to, i miss her so much ..." he smiled and stood, "i better go."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Okay," she stood up as well, then stood on the bench and hugged him tightly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Doc squeezed her tightly, "i love you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you for doing that," chuckling, "I love you too."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Next Day |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine decided to really enjoy her time in Italy. The night before was the pick-me-up she needed. She and Maddox were at a cafe having lunch, looking over the water, "so ... I hope you don't break up with me for too long. Or at least not be done with me completely."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Well, have my baby," he said simply.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Give me 2 years. That's all I need. Then you can get me pregnant as many times as you want." She paused, she needed to amend that quickly, "hopefully not in excess."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox sighed, "ok, that's fine, but i wont like it"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laughing, "if things go well, it could be sooner but I think 2 years will do it." She grabbed his hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Uh oh, what are you up to, beautiful?" He kissed her hand, "you know what, keep me out of it. I dont want to know."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It's best you don't. Really. And thank you. I promise, we'll be okay."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 1 Week Later - US |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sasha waltzed into Janine's house wearing a Bodicon dress and a short mink fur. With a woman dressed so sexy, you would never guess she was equipped with five weapons on her, "I'm here! Miss me?" She sat next to Janine, "because i sure missed you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine sighed and looked at her, "Sasha ... Cover yourself before you turn me into a lesbian."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Get out of here girl and this is my work uniform, by policy."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laughing, "By whos policy? Cause it's not mine. So you actually missed me when I was gone?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Do you know my job description? Im the sexy decoy baby, so yes, it is my dress code. I most certainly did."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine nodded and chuckled, "thanks. I appreciate that. And yes, I missed you. It's nice to have a friend."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"So how was Italy?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Productive, very productive."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What did you do is what i was really asking."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Cursed out Constantine ... Killed a few people ... Had lots of sex ... and came back with a plan."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"How is young Doc? I hear he's no longer one of us."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine shook her head, "he's not. He's a normal now."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Poor baby never had it in him," she shook her head, "so plan?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Still working out the kinks. It'll be a while longer if you hear anything," and Sasha wouldn't. Janine had no plans to enlist Sasha for the suicide mission.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ok boo ... So what are we doing today?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I don't know. Perhaps I should put on a dress and we ... go ... out? I need to get some local intel. About the 'hit' status."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You go out?! What has young Doc done to you? Ya'll go out?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea. We go out all the time."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You dance?" Sasha was blown away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Sure do."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh wow ... let's go." Sasha clapped, "I'm dressed and ready. Your turn."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine sent a text to Maddox and then the extra guards she threatened. She got dressed and headed off with Sasha to a salsa club. "You know who i miss?" Sasha started as they got out of janine's car.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Who?" One of the guards took Janine's keys and car.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Doc," Sasha sighed, "the one that got away," she looked sad, "god i was so in love with that man."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grinning, "he was always in love with his wife, though. I think you were too sassy for him."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh girl, aint nobody gonna break up that happy home, plus im living on the dream of him telling me, had he met me first, he woulda been with me" sasha looked at the guard, "mind your damn business.."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They went inside and both women were grabbed almost immediately by dancing men. Janine was about to grab him by the throat but he wiggled her hips. Her hand was right up at his neck when she completely stopped, turned that part of her brain off to process what was happening, "Oh ... that's what you're doing."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Sasha ..." a voice carried from behind her, a tall light skinned man with green eyes smiled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sasha smiled, "Joseph Mackey.." she went to him for a hug.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"How are you, beautiful?" He hugged her and kissed her cheek.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Great, just here with a friend. How is business?" Sasha asked. Joseph was Doc's law enforcement muscle at one time. He previously was one of Doc's deputies who was brought into the business to keep an arm to the cops throats. Even though he was no longer a part of law enforcement, he still had his people there and kept things running the way they should. Even now that Doc is out of the picture, he understood that someone else had taken over but wasn't privy to who.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Busy. Some new cat is shaking things up. Not in a good way." He continued and Janine danced a little closer so she could hear. "I understand how the trickle happened but ..." He shrugged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Who's this new person? They tell me nothing anymore."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Not sure. We think it's the organization that got rid of Ames. On the other hand, it could be the one that organization put in place to replace him."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Interesting... who are they?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Theirs just one. No one can ID him. They think he's Asian. Small, fast, too quiet. If that's the case, we have a major problem ... at least for my other people," meaning the small Business he'd started since Doc was out, "maybe not yours now. Want a drink?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hmm sure baby, my girl will as well."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hi!" Janine waved and smiled, still dancing with the guy. If they hadn't found her out yet, her chances were good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Joseph ..." he introduced himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine nodded, "Janine. Thanks." She tapped the guy on the shoulder for him to let go of her, then she joined Sasha and Joseph.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ive never seen you around before Janine, how do you and sasha know one another?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I met her a couple of months ago. I went to her boutique and needed help getting a dress to a wedding because of my size. I go back regularly now. Anyway, she mentioned this place and I'd never been so ... here I am."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh isnt that nice.." he looked at her with a bright but condescending smile.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"So how is your wife?" sasha questioned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Still bitchy but that's my baby ..." he ordered their drinks. Janine danced right next to him, pretending to be oblivious. Joseph whispered to Sasha, "please tell me she's not in."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Not even close.." sasha smirked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"There is a God. Drink up and let me get a dance in."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You got it baby.." Sasha smiled as they carried on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While they danced, Janine went to the bar and a man began to speak behind her. "Pretty lady, if you were my woman, i would NEVER leave you vulnerable to another man's game. Let me buy you a drink."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine immediately started smiling and turned around, "I thought you had to work."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I worked, finished and now im here." He pulled her in and kissed her, "where's your clothes? You know you only need to wear this shit when im around."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It's salsa. But I'll remember for next time."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you..." he pulled her head to him and kissed her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Now dance with me." Then she whispered, "I almost choked someone and blew my cover."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You better calm down."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'm having fun." She walked away from the bar, more like danced.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What? You do that?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"For the last two years. Plus, I've gained some Intel."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh? Go on."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Later." She squeezed his butt and danced. "But I need to have Sasha over when we leave to discuss some things. You staying with me tonight?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yeah and thats fine, ill keep myself occupied."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Thank you."</span>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-31402845704826514012016-01-27T12:04:00.000-06:002016-01-27T12:04:04.758-06:00Undercover Superstar - 10<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| 2 Weeks Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You superstar son of a Bitch!" Maddox's uncle constantine was the first to walk through the door and embrace him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Fuck is up, uncle?" He spoke in return.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Constantine didn't respond, just palmed Maddox's face and kept going. Carmine came in after, smiling, arms open for a hug, "nephew."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"uncle Carmine..." He squeezed him in a hug.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"How are things?" He kissed Maddox's head. "Still whole i see."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yeah, 'you know who' is knocking on my backdoor." He coded because he saw his dad helping ya-ya. Such a mamas boy, "ya-ya!" Maddox went to hug her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Junior ..." She kissed his cheek, then lightly punched his gut, "you eat? Healthy?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes ya-ya."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Good boy," hugged him, and kept going.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox finished talking and creating the rest of his family, father included. Everyone was having dinner, when Maddox's main butler came and made an announcement, "excuse me sir, but Ms. Hines it's here to see you.."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Tell her I'm bus-"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ms Hines?" Constantine raised a brow, "i didn't know you had a girlfriend," he wiped hisouth and stood, "my turn!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Constantine..." Maddox followed behind him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They both went to the door, Constantine clearly in the lead. He rounded the corner first and saw Janine standing in a fitting green peplum dress with black belt, black heels and her hair down and curled. She saw Constantine and immediately cursed herself, just now remembering he had people in town and she didn't know when they were coming. Welp ... She was in trouble.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hello, lovely of you to stop by. Constantine," he introduced himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fine as hell. Janine smiled, "Janine. Hi."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"what are you doing here?" Maddox questioned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She rolled her eyes at his greeting but said to him quietly, "I'm sorry. I didn't know what day they were coming ... I was going to see if we could do something. I'm leaving."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No, no no," constantine grabbed her hand, "my nephew has no manners. Come, have dinner with us," he pulled her inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SHe couldn't argue with that statement but shook her head while being pulled in. She stopped and sighed, but smiled, "I couldn't, but thank you. I have to go anyway."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I insist..." He smiled, "now if you deny me one more time, I'll be offended"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine looked to Maddox with sorry eyes, and Maddox just nodded at her to tell her to go on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh ... Okay," nodding, "I'll stay."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"That a girl..." He put his arm around Janine and led her into the dining room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Damn her and this horrible timing. Constantine walked her to the living room where their was a small crowd of people. Constantine introduced her, "look at what nephew has been hiding." Janine only smiled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Oh my God. SHe's beautiful," someone said. Everyone seemed to gush while maddox's father ignored her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Girlfriend?" His yaya asked in her broken English.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No ma'am," Janine finally spoke, "we're good friends."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Wait, and you're here during the day time? Surely you don't believe my nephew would have you over if you were just good friends?" Constantine questioned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Not really," she looked over at Maddox, then at his uncle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox was now exhausted, "unc, she's my girlfriend, so stop harassing her," which again the term girlfriend meant nothing to Maddox, but Janine kinda did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Who the fuck is this?" Doc got off a phone call he'd just taken.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Nephews girlfriend ... In the daytime," Constantine answered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Well this is a family dinner, and i don't fucking know you so get the fuck out!" Maddox's dad said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Look," Maddox was frustrated, "dad show some fucking respect and constantine, finish your fuckin pasta!" Maddox grabbed Janine by her wrist and pulled her to another room, "this is why I didn't invite you over. They can be rude."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"My skin is thicker than it looks. Besides ... I am more than sorry for this. Can't you just slip me out? Through the back? Like a slave?" She grinned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Doesn't matter, I'm just protective like that. Did you get what i had sent to you yet?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No ... You sent me something?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ok. Well it should be to you any day now."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She nodded and grinned, "thanks. So ... The loud one ... Father?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yeah, he's a prick, but i love the guy ..." He hunched his shoulders, "the cute older woman is my ya-ya, and the younger women are cousins and my aunt... Surprisingly my dad and uncle constantine didnt bring their girlfriends, and my uncle Carmine has a wife and two kids in Cali, he's the nice uncle."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"If the term 'girlfriend' means the same to all three of you, then i understand why. And another thing ... I am not your girlfriend."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No, you're not, you're My boo thang..." He joked, slow rolling on her a little, "naw, but i would never call you my girlfriend... For right now." He stood straight, "better keep actin right."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea ok," she chuckled, "lead the way."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| The Next Day |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine was messing through her apartment while Tarin was hanging out in the living room, "his father was a dick but i got through dinner unscathed. He ended up ignoring me until somebody started talking to me," she chuckled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I couldn't have done it. All them loud ass Italians."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"They were nice, considering." Janine heard the doorbell, then got up and looked at the peephole, "yea?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Courier. Delivery for Janine Hines."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She opened the door, "that's me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He handed her the box that had all sorts of holes poked in it. "Can you sign here?" He held out a clipboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea," Janine took the clip board and signed, took the box and went inside. She undid all the wrapping paper and ribbons, then set the box on the coffee table. She opened it and cooed, "Oooh my kitty!" She picked up the teeny smokey gray cat and kissed its head.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine continued playing and then called maddox. He answered, "yeah?" He sounded slightly peeved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She frowned, "I got the gift. Are you ok?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Just dealing with a true shitshow, you like your gift?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I love it. Thank you. I'm naming her Luna."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Good, i was hoping you liked it. I get my monkey tomorrow."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You're not seriously getting one ..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He laughed, "I'm as serious as a heart attack."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Terrible ... I just wanted to call and say thanks. Call me when you're free."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You better love my monkey, girl!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We'll see. I need to go cat shopping so I'll talk to you later."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Bye," he hung up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine walked to the living room where Tarin was still sitting, "let's run to the pet store. Then i need to get ready for KBs debut tomorrow," she pumped her fist and got out her car keys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He didn't even invite me, you know?" Tarin rolled her eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Why haven't y'all fixed this yet?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Girl, have you noticed that kb always holds on to a grudge with me longer than he does with you? He's expecting me to do some shit I'm not willing to do." Tarin shook her head.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"If you want him back you're gonna have to."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'm not apologizing to that girl. Every time she's around, she's focused on kissing kb instead if getting to know us. Even though we've known him for years."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine scrunched up her face, "I didn't apologize to her either! And i told KB i was NOT kissing that girls ass," Janine wrapped a towel gently around the kitten and walked out of the door with Tarin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea, he'll come around when they breakup, in like a month.." She shrugged, following Janine out of the apartment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| Later |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After Janine got back home and set up the cat, she texted KB, 'I want to interview you tomorrow after. You want to do it after? I'll be talking to Cee Lo after he's done.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Yes, that'll be great.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Thanks boo-boo,' then tossed her phone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">| The Next Day |</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janine ran some errands early and still had time to kill. While she was out about to grab some coffee, she fished a card out of her pocket and dialed the number. When Ricardo answered, Janine asked, "have time for that coffee?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He smiled and leaned forward, "why yes i do, Janine.."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Starbucks will be too crowded right now. What about Stumptown Cafe on 29th?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Absolutely beautiful, see you in 15?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yes," Janine turned on her heels and headed towards that direction. She got there walking in 10 minutes and got a seat by the window so she could see him when he approached. She took the menus from the waiter but told him she was waiting for some one. She saw Ricardo walking across the street and up to the cafe. She smiled and stood up when he came in, "this was short notice, I almost thought you would be busy."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I just happened to finish a meeting. I'm glad you called. You sure you're boyfriend won't get upset?" He joked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No boyfriend. You work close by?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Criminal lawyer. Long hours, no sleep, and no one to spend my free time with."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"And you have secrets. Lawyers usually do."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Doesn't everybody?" He smiled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Some more than others." They continued talking for about at hour. When they decided to part, he walked with her outside after paying, "thank you for meeting me. I'm sure you were busy," she reached into her purse and pulled out a business card, then put her cell number on the back and handed it to him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ricardo nodded, smiled, and they joined for a hug. Parting after saying bye Janine's phone rang right away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hello?" Janine answered as she walked towards the subway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What are you doing sweetheart?" Maddox smiled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Leaving Stumptown Cafe. Now on my way home to ready myself for tonight. What are you up to?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"missing you..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right then she stopped walking and giggled like a bitch, "ugh ... Why are you so cute?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Why are you? I need my little piece of sanity since my dad and uncle has been driving me nuts. They all said hey by the way."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Even your father?" Got damn Maddox had to call and be cute after she gave someone her number, got damnit. Janine cursed continued to curse herself for even thinking of dealing with someone other than Maddox.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No, except for him, sorry baby. I can't wait for tonight..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'll go home and get my stuff and come over there. I'll just get ready then. That ok?" Then started down the steps slowly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"come to the office, i want to drive you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ok. Give me 10," she walked back up the few steps and high tailed it to The Suite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maddox was leaving one of his guys in charge for what seemed like the night, but was actually a few months. Shit on his side of the 'business' was getting hot. He was going to have to be more hands on. He saw Janine walk up and finished his convo, "hey," he turned to her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Hi there," she cheesed, "I'm so excited about tonight!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Me too," he grabbed the back of her neck and placed a lingering kids on her lips, "mmm."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She blushed so hard and then wiped the little bit of gloss off of his lips that transferred. "You really did miss me ..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Yea, why would i make it up?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You wouldn't," they walked to the car, "you ok today?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Just been thinking a lot, and stressed. I need vacation time."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Then go. Maybe you'll get some sleep."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We are..." He gave her a sly look.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We are?" They got in the car and Janine looked at him and smiled, "i have to work ... I think my boss will be angry."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Ehh... Something tells me he'll be fine." He cheeses. Maddox liked Janine, but not ass much ass he was leading her to believe. Truth was, he just wanted her to do whatever he needed her to, and what better way then to be every piece of man she ever wanted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Fine, fine ... You got me." She smiled.</span>Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-46264808227778354152016-01-27T11:30:00.002-06:002016-01-27T11:30:19.419-06:00Doc's Little Girl - 7| 2 Years Later |<br />
<br />
Janine returned to her house after being gone on a job for more than a month with Maddox's uncle, Constantine. The day after, she showed up at Maddox's job looking for him. Maddox became an accountant at a big corporation. The fact that his dad was gone bothered him, but he dealt with it just fine. He was in the process of dropping some papers off at someone's desk when he noticed Janine. He smiled at her when she made eye contact with him and he walked to her. "Hey bigshot," Janine raised an eyebrow with a small smile when he approached.<br />
<br />
"Hey sweet thang," he hugged her, grabbing a hand full of her ass. The two of them were very on and off again, but at that time, they were on, "how was your trip?" He kissed her on the lips for a second.<br />
<br />
"Rewarding." She rubbed his lips with her thumb, "can you go to lunch?"<br />
<br />
"Uhh," he looked to his watch, "yea, let me go grab my wallet," he walked off real quick.<br />
<br />
Janine spun around in a carefree manner and surveyed the office. When Maddox came back, they left out, "I would like chicken."<br />
<br />
"You can have chicken," he rested his hand on her lower back. She put her head on his shoulder while they walked.<br />
<br />
They went into a restaurant, "What have I missed?" Janine asked.<br />
<br />
"Uh, shit, my mother's hip surgery went well. Celia moved to California and Trent's girlfriend had a boy."<br />
<br />
"Babies ..." She shivered, "probably cute!"<br />
<br />
He shook his head, "I'm adopting a kid because i know you will never have my babies. Either that or i have to find a woman who will."<br />
<br />
She laughed, "kids are not a part of my job description, Maddox."<br />
<br />
"Thats why i said what i said. Kids were always apart of my future and that will NEVER change."<br />
<br />
Janine nodded, "I understand."<br />
<br />
He kissed her head, "be glad i love you and im leaning more toward adoption."<br />
<br />
Grinning, "I am. Really I am." They'd had that conversation before so she understood. At times, she wished she hadn't followed in Docs footsteps but couldn't disappoint him.<br />
<br />
He paused, "what about a surrogate?"<br />
<br />
"We could do a surrogate." She was unsure.<br />
<br />
"Sure?"<br />
<br />
"Yea but ... not ... right now ... right?"<br />
<br />
"No, not right now"<br />
<br />
She took a deep breath, "can we talk about it later tonight, then?"<br />
<br />
"Of course.." he rubbed her arm and kissed her temple.<br />
<br />
| Later |<br />
<br />
Before Maddox got to Janine's, she called carmine. She explained about Maddox wanting kids. "I don't know what to do. I can't have a family. He wants one. WITH ME!"<br />
<br />
"So just tell him no. Its that simple."<br />
<br />
"He'll ... leave ... me. We'll be off with no more on."<br />
<br />
"Look, im not gonna make this decision for you."<br />
<br />
"I just need help. Please. I'm lost. I miss Doc. I just need help." Her eyes watered. Janine's priorities were changing and she was turning into a real person. A person that she liked and wanted to be full time. Not just with Maddox.<br />
<br />
"Lost why? You knew what the job was before you accepted it."<br />
<br />
Janine clenched her jaw, "I was also a child when I got brought into this! FORGET IT." She hung up.<br />
<br />
Just as janine sat there, maddox came barging in like always, "Lucy, im home!" He said in his best ricky ricardo voice.<br />
<br />
Janine sighed and looked at him. "We can't ... I can't," she choked out, "I can't give you ... anything."<br />
<br />
"Why not?" His smile instantly disappeared.<br />
<br />
"I want to be ... normal. And I can't. I love you. I want you. But ... it's too risky. I'm scared for you and whatever kids we have. I'm lost," she started sobbing, "I can't fix this."<br />
<br />
Maddox just looked at her, so disappointed, "well, our anniversary is coming up, i wanted to take you to meet my family in italy." He tossed the ticket to her, "be right back," he went to the bathroom, mainly to yell and curse silently.<br />
<br />
Janine finished her crying and waited for him. "I'll go." She yelled towards the bathroom and figured she'd completely break up with him when they got back.<br />
<br />
Maddox came out, face red, "im hungry."<br />
<br />
Janine got up and raced to the kitchen to get him something. She didn't come out until the food was done. She handed him dinner, then sat quietly while he ate.<br />
<br />
"Thank you.." he finished eating and handed her his plate.<br />
<br />
She took it to the kitchen, then sat on the edge of the couch, curling herself up into a ball with her legs pulled into her body. She didn't know what to say.<br />
<br />
"Come here, man," he opened his body to her.<br />
<br />
She shook her head, "I'm sorry. I don't know what to do. I can make every decision when it comes to how to quietly kill an entire group of people but I can't figure this out. I called Carmine for advice and he gave me nothing so ... Im frustrated and Im scared. So. No."<br />
<br />
"Get over here and stop playing." Janine got down off the arm of the couch and sat next to him. Maddox put his arm around her, "im not about to lie to you and say im not disappointed, i am. However, i get it. Im just most pissed that we will most likely end up breaking up soon because of it. That shit is lame."<br />
<br />
"We've broken up a lot already." Sighing, "we'll figure it out after we come from italy."<br />
<br />
"Yeah, but I never felt like it was final until now."<br />
<br />
"Yea," she nodded, "I hear you."<br />
<br />
He kissed her on the lips and held her waist, "love you," he stood up, "im going to pack."<br />
<br />
| Days Later - Italy |<br />
<br />
They'd arrived and gotten themselves settled. That same evening, they had dinner at Maddox's Grandma's house. The next day, they went out for a walk. It wasn't Janine's first trip out of the country, but it was her first to Italy and she loved it. Maddox hadn't been to italy since he was a teenager. This was the perfect time to come back although, the woman that he was with, he'd no longer be with after this trip most likely.<br />
<br />
"I think we should have some cake," Janine was looking at a pastry shop they were walking past, "or a tart," she stopped, looking at the window, "or a muffin."<br />
<br />
"What the fuck do you want woman?" He pulled her head to his chest and kissed the crown.<br />
<br />
"Everything!" She was getting excited, "no. A tart. With the pretty fruit on top. Is it sweet?" She broke away from him and went inside, "I want this," she said in Italian and pointed to it, then to a muffin repeating the same thing, then to a slice of cake, "what kind is that? I can't have coconut," she told Maddox in Italian.<br />
<br />
"I know babe, don't get it. Try the strawberry and blue berry tart," he responded in Italian.<br />
<br />
"But I think that cake might be worth dying over." She looked up at him, then looked around some more. They finally left the shop with 2 pieces of cake, neither coconut, 2 fruit tarts and 1 muffin. "This is my dinner. I WANT THAT!" She'd walked away again. A couple of hours later and Janine purchased a vintage tea kettle, venetian glass earrings, bottle openers with the Pope's face on them, lace ... Just lace. She had no idea what she wanted with it but it was pretty and she wanted it. And a carnival mask. After the last thing she bought, she'd tried on the mask and as she took it off, there was Doc. Across the street. And the mutherfucker had the audacity to stroll through town after all the shit he left her with. Did Maddox see him? Should she say something? He was hiding so maybe she shouldn't but she was itching to. Still, she looked down at her bags, "I think i have everything." Then turned to go in the opposite direction.<br />
<br />
"Hold on, I need to get my Nonna some candles from this place up here. I told her i would," maddox turned around holding most of Janine's bags and heading in the direction she was leading him away from.<br />
<br />
"There's a place down here ..." She was desperately pointing in the other direction. Finally, she went and walked along side him, then stopped him, "let's take a picture."<br />
<br />
"Janine in a second, damn.." he put his arm around her and turned almost right into his father. It was like he got socked in the face. He looked Doc square in the eyes, then down to his feet and walked right around him, "they should really work on cleaning the bums off the street ..." he said to janine and to no one in particular.<br />
<br />
Janine sighed and walked with Maddox, glancing back at Doc, then back to Maddox, "how about we go drop this stuff off and relax on a gondola for a while?"<br />
<br />
"That's fine, but damn woman, let me get these damn candles" he walked into the shop. Janine stayed put as Doc walked up to her from behind.<br />
<br />
"May I help you?" She asked in Italian as to not blow his cover.<br />
<br />
As soon as she turned around. He hugged her, and said into her ear, "i miss you, im proud of you, stay strong," he kissed her temple and walked away.<br />
<br />
Janine held her breath and watched him walk away. She wished she'd said something to him. She wished she'd hugged him back. She wished she'd said 'thanks.' She just wished. Janine looked up at the sky, nearly at the sun, in an effort to keep the waterworks from starting but was unsuccessful. She walked away a little down the strip, in the opposite direction, hoping to give herself time to breathe before Maddox came out looking for her. When he did, she held her phone up and took a picture of him, then showed it to him, only to distract him from her face since she wasn't sure what she looked like at the moment. "How many did you get?" Looking at the bag.<br />
<br />
"Ten," he smiled and kissed her, "whats wrong? You got the, 'I just ugly cried look in your eyes." He sat the bags down and pulled her into his body to look at her, "and tell the truth."<br />
<br />
She immediately laughed and put her face on his chest, and put her arms around him, "he just told me to stay strong and then I crumbled like a child."<br />
<br />
He rolled his eyes, she couldnt see, "why are you crumbling? You should always stay strong. You dont need him to tell you that."<br />
<br />
"Because their is a huge part of me that constantly needs his approval. I like to know what he thinks of me. It's important."<br />
<br />
"What do YOU think of you? " He rubbed her back<br />
<br />
"I don't like me at all. Not anymore."<br />
<br />
"Why not baby? You are amazing" he rubbed the back of her head, "you are everything"<br />
<br />
"Everything except a real person," she let go of him, took a few bags from him and started walking again. "Now i just have to figure out how to become a real person while I have this job. I may know where to start."Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-63650400526648118572016-01-14T13:58:00.001-06:002016-01-14T13:58:17.876-06:00Doc's Little Girl - 6| 1 Week Later |<br />
<br />
"Are you coming home as scheduled?" Janine was talking to Doc on the phone, "I've been in this house even though I don't need to be. Did you notice?"<br />
<br />
"Yes, i also noticed that maddox has been there often. No fucking in common areas."<br />
<br />
"We didn't! I wouldn't do that!"<br />
<br />
"You guys like each other?"<br />
<br />
"Hmmm, I don't know." She shrugged and looked up at the camera as if he were watching, "I don't know how to tell ... I should probably just ask."<br />
<br />
"That question was directed at you. I know my son likes you since hes always around you."<br />
<br />
She shrugged again, still looking at the camera, "maybe he's bored. But yea ... I like him."<br />
<br />
"You're impossible." Shaking his head, "ignoring a man's word about his own son. And another thing. If he's bored. He doesn't have to travel out there for a friend. He's good looking and he could see multiple women and have them know about it without a problem. Ask him, but i know JR."<br />
<br />
Smiling, "okay. I'm listening. I'll be waiting when you get here, don't make me come get you. I know where you are," she hung up and then died laughing.<br />
<br />
Janine froze. The phone started ringing. Janine saw the phone call and sighed, then stomped and screamed out loud, then answered, "DADDY!" She sung.<br />
<br />
"What did i tell you would happen if I found out you were snooping? "<br />
<br />
"That ... I'd have ... to ... move out?" She said slowly as if she were in disbelief. Yea, she knew but still. She didn't think he'd enforce that.<br />
<br />
"Exactly, you have 2 weeks.." he hung up his phone and turned it off.<br />
<br />
| 1 Week Later |<br />
<br />
Doc returned and Janine was in the process of packing. She met him at the door and faked sad eyes, "I found a place."<br />
<br />
"Good.." he walked passed her, still wearing the weight of his trip on his shoulders.<br />
<br />
"You're gonna miss me?"<br />
<br />
"I'll be fine..." he spoke honestly, "but the moment i cant trust you to do as i say, you gotta go."<br />
<br />
She poked her bottom lip out, "okay ... okay ... Fine ... Okay," she just kept on mumbling but followed him, "are you okay?"<br />
<br />
"I am fine, but im sick of all you muthafuckas being sneaky." Doc looked crazy for the first time around Janine. He was pacing and looking around as if for someone to choke. "I never in my life yelled or cussed at you or even wanted to, but right now. I want you the FUCK out of my face!" Of course, he was angry about his what his trip meant for the future and taking it out on her. Yes, he was pissed at her for snooping, but needed to get this off his chest.<br />
<br />
She blinked, her eyes oversized, but didn't flinch. "I'm sorry," she said in Italian, "there's a bottle of scotch and a glass on your desk. I forgive you," she said as she walked away. As soon as she was in the clear, she cried.<br />
<br />
Doc then slammed the door behind her and picked up the phone and called his brother Constantine.<br />
<br />
"What?" Constantine answered.<br />
<br />
"Fuck you." Doc hung up.<br />
<br />
Doc was ready to do what he had to to free himself. Distancing himself from his family wasn't working and he needed to take more drastic action. He called a family friend. Walter Bovin answered his cell, "everything alright, Maddox?" I heard about Russia."<br />
<br />
"I need a favor."<br />
<br />
"Anything."<br />
<br />
"I need to get out. Of the Business and I need your help. Help me figure out my options."<br />
<br />
"Only one permanent solution that you know. Or ... We could take a chance with a new identity. If you move home to Italy, it will work out better for you. Sicily even better. The island is Agnello owned, you could rest easily."<br />
<br />
"Ill take a chance on the 2nd..."<br />
<br />
"Alright. I can get everything you need to retire safely to you in a week. In the meantime ... What will you do about your son and daughter?"<br />
<br />
"Janine will be moved out of the house by next week and Maddox is oblivious to everything."<br />
<br />
Walter sighed, "who will take your place?"<br />
<br />
"Ive been training Maddox since he was 18 years old, but Janine has the stomach for it. Janine."<br />
<br />
He sat for a minute and weighed the pro's and con's but Doc was right. "You'll tell them about this decision?"<br />
<br />
"I will tonight.." he sat on the phone for a minute just talking other details and then hung up.<br />
<br />
| That Night |<br />
<br />
Doc sat in front of Maddox and Janine. Trying to figure out the best way to say it, when Janine cut in, "I'm not pregnant if that's what this is about." Janine started when Doc was taking his time.<br />
<br />
Doc rolled his eyes, as did Maddox, "So you two know ive been training you guys in preparation for taking over the business."<br />
<br />
Maddox nodded. "Yea." Janine respond.<br />
<br />
"Well its that time. I want out and im going to iron out the necessary details to make that happen."<br />
<br />
Janine frowned a little, "Okay ..." then she looked at Maddox.<br />
<br />
"I cant tell either of you where im going, and you wont be able to come with me. I just need to know who wants to run the business."<br />
<br />
Janine's arm shot up, then she registered what he said and slowly put her arm down, "why can't you tell me where you're going? What if I want to come visit? What if I get married in 20 years and you're still gone? What am i supposed to do then?" Her mouth kept running, "No. You stay here."<br />
<br />
"Look, it's just the way it is," he looked at Janine.<br />
<br />
"So this is how its gonna be. This the reason you broke ma's heart?" Maddox looked at him with a straight face.<br />
<br />
Doc nodded.<br />
<br />
"I .. I ... I don't understand. You kicked me out because I was snooping and now you're ... DISAPPEARING YOURSELF?!" Janine balled her fists up and then sat on them.<br />
<br />
"Better I told you then just leaving, right?"<br />
<br />
"Say something!" Janine snapped at Maddox.<br />
<br />
"Ok so calm the fuck down!" He snapped at Janine, "you think im gonna give him a reaction?" He looked to Doc, "the only gotdamn reason i got into into this shit was to be closer to you! Because when you did this AND the police force you never had time for me. As far as im concerned, Janine can have it and you can fuck yourself," Maddox stood and stormed out.<br />
<br />
Doc stood but didnt chase him and then sat back down as he heard Maddox's car speed off<br />
<br />
With that, Janine immediately started crying, "is this because I snooped? I'm sorry. I'll do whatever I can to earn your trust back. I don't want you to leave."<br />
<br />
"Janine, that never bothered me. You didnt find anything I didn't want you to find. This is how it has to be, i just didnt feel right not saying goodbye."<br />
<br />
Now what could she say to that. Absolutely nothing. She just looked at him with those sad eyes, then took a breath, "when are you leaving?"<br />
<br />
"Soon ..." he stood and walked over to sit next to her, putting his arm around her.<br />
<br />
"You'll keep tabs on me, right?"<br />
<br />
"Of course, on everyone..."<br />
<br />
"Oh," she nodded slowly and put her head on his shoulder, "are you gonna miss me at all?"<br />
<br />
"Yes, but you will be fine. You are a survivor. Maddox will be fine, just pissed at me his entire life. I love his mother and she is the love of my life. Everything ive done this far, is to protect her."<br />
<br />
"Why can't you take her with you?"<br />
<br />
"This is just how it has to be. No one in the business knows i have a wife or children. I want to keep it that way."<br />
<br />
"Fine. Okay."<br />
<br />
"Thank you.. i love you.." he pat her head, stood and walked away.<br />
<br />
| Days Later |<br />
<br />
Janine was in the process of moving her stuff out. It wasn't like she could get some movers so she had a few guards help her take stuff. When she'd spent a considerable amount of time putting things together in her place, she went back home, "it's set ... Do you want to see it?" She didn't get a response, "Doc?" Then went to his office. He'd slipped away while she was moving. She left the house and went to Maddox's. He wasn't home so she sat in her car across from his apartment, in her usual spot, and waited for him.<br />
<br />
Maddox pulled up and got out of his car, be began walking toward his apartment. Janine got out of her car, locked it and silently followed him up. "Janine, what did i tell you about stalking me? You have my number, we fuck, just call me. He said without looking back at her."<br />
<br />
"I was only waiting for you!"<br />
<br />
"Sure, what do you want?"<br />
<br />
She shrugged, "nothing. I just ... Wanted to ... Come over ...?"<br />
<br />
"Ok," he unlocked his door and stood back so she could walk in, "come in."<br />
<br />
She smiled and walked in, then sat down on his couch, "what'd you do today?"<br />
<br />
"Class and make lunch for my ma and sister." He shut the door, "you?"<br />
<br />
She shook her head, "finished moving."<br />
<br />
"How do you like your new place?"<br />
<br />
She shrugged, "I can sleep there."<br />
<br />
"Good ... sit," he nodded to the love seat where he was about to sit himself.<br />
<br />
She moved to the specified spot of the loveseat and sat on her hands. Janine didn't know what to say. She didn't have a plan when she showed up, just to sit around she figured. "I'm thinking of getting a cat and a dog."<br />
<br />
"Dog ... love dogs. I have one," he sat back and pulled Janine into his body, "you look good today."<br />
<br />
She figured that wouldn't be the best time to tell him she killed the dog Doc let her have when she was 11. "Thanks." Gingerly, she rested her hands out in the open.<br />
<br />
"When are you gonna stop being so damn awkward? You know i like you right?"<br />
<br />
"Yea." She said without hesitation. Doc had told her so so it had to be true. "It's not you. I have a wall."<br />
<br />
"What for? Im a good fuckin dude," he paused, "the kinda dude that likes that physical attention. Im very sexual ... i could fuck you silly, i just choose to give you a break."<br />
<br />
"Thank you," and she actually meant it, then laughed a little, "I was told to have a wall. I already had one but it I needed a better one. I'll adjust," she looked at him, "i will."<br />
<br />
"Ok. .. you chill with Sasha still?"<br />
<br />
"Yea. I tried to get her to help me pick out furniture online but she didn't like that. She MADE me go to a furniture store. I hate shopping."<br />
<br />
He laughed, "good, you need to get out and learn people skills."<br />
<br />
"Oh no, I can't do that."<br />
<br />
"You're doing it right now."<br />
<br />
"You're different."<br />
<br />
"How so?"<br />
<br />
"You know how all this can affect a person. I don't have to explain it to you. I can talk to you. Now that I'm in charge ..." She shrugged, "I'll be as isolated as ever so it's best not to get used to people."<br />
<br />
"I guess. Well, I dont want no part of it, so if you could ... for me ... Act as normal as you can, please."<br />
<br />
Smiling, "I can."<br />
<br />
"Thank you... just tired of that shit, and ready to get back to who I am."<br />
<br />
"Who is the Maddox that's not in the business?"<br />
<br />
"Im not serious about every damn thing. However i have a temper, but im caring, thoughtful, protective."<br />
<br />
Janine nodded, "So where is this dog? Is it big?"<br />
<br />
"At the groomer, he's a great Dane, his name is Kunta."<br />
<br />
Janine turned her lip up and just looked at him.<br />
<br />
"What?!" He smirked.<br />
<br />
"That's ridiculous."<br />
<br />
"How do you figure? Roots is my favorite movie."<br />
<br />
"Never seen it."<br />
<br />
"Then what is that reaction to the name?"<br />
<br />
"It being ridiculous. And racially charged ... Which I don't care about but still ..."<br />
<br />
"If youve never seen the movie, how would you know its racially charged? Plus, its my fuckin dog. You get a dog and call him or her what the fuck you want," he said with a smile.<br />
<br />
"Uh ... okay. You're odd."<br />
<br />
He just scoffed, "you definitely cant talk."<br />
<br />
"I guess you're right." She paused, "yea you're right. You like being right. Don't you?"<br />
<br />
"Sometimes, but i do enjoy a good debate," he pulled her thigh over his leg.<br />
<br />
"Cause you like to talk. Will you go with me to find a cat? A stray is fine."<br />
<br />
"Alright," he nodded and moved her leg. "I have a friend who collects strays. Sounds weird but she's good with them and they're all well taken care of," he pulled her to her feet.<br />
<br />
"A friend who collects strays ..." She looked up at him, "interesting hobby."<br />
<br />
"Shes one of those people who believes she can save the world."<br />
<br />
"Light skinned and thick?"<br />
<br />
"Yeah?" He looked at her suspiciously.<br />
<br />
"I know who you're talking about. She looks like the type. Making dresses all day and such, then saves an animal."<br />
<br />
"How do you know her?" He sighed, "nevermind.." he rolled his eyes, "yeah she's a really sweet girl."<br />
<br />
"I liked her more than Colette. She was too old for you anyway."<br />
<br />
He shook his head, "Colette was just someone i fucked anyways and age is only a number."<br />
<br />
"Her voice was annoying. I heard her at the coffee shop talking on the phone. Bragging about sex with a younger man. Ugh. I almost cut her throat."<br />
<br />
"Why were you following her.." he stopped and looked at her. That shit will get old with him.<br />
<br />
"That was 2 years ago. Jesus."<br />
<br />
"Fuck, Janine, are you following anyone else in my life?"<br />
<br />
"Not since we went out."<br />
<br />
"Ok," he pulled her face to his and kissed her lips, "good, thank you."Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-7804981622479557592016-01-11T15:40:00.000-06:002016-01-11T15:40:43.823-06:00Doc's Little Girl - 5| Next Day |<br />
<br />
Janine came down for breakfast, smiling and grabbing the first thing she saw to eat. She joined Doc at the table, "morning!"<br />
<br />
"Morning. Why so cheery?"<br />
<br />
She tried to figure out the best way to tell a father figure that she got laid. "We had a nice time last night. Maybe I've turned a corner with Maddox."<br />
<br />
"Ok?" He raised a brow, "did my son deflower you?"<br />
<br />
"Yep!"<br />
<br />
"Ugh gross.." Doc frowned and even gagged.<br />
<br />
She laughed way too hard, "that's your fault. I was trying to be subtle."<br />
<br />
"Im not surprised, the kid is charming."<br />
<br />
"So am I!" She was almost offended he didn't recognize her charm as well.<br />
<br />
"Please ... You have a cute face, sweetheart ... and a lot of other things I'd like to not mention, but the kid is not blind."<br />
<br />
"okay okay. Back to a previous conversation ... Do you WANT me to move out?"<br />
<br />
"I dont care if you stay, but I believe you should get your own place."<br />
<br />
"Well ... I ... Like ... You being here. Since I was here my whole life up until last year with a nanny I didnt like."<br />
<br />
"I understand."<br />
<br />
"Is their no way I can just ... Co exist with you here as an adult?"<br />
<br />
"I have already said you can stay here."<br />
<br />
"I mean ..." She just started eating, "okay. Awesome. I'll suit up when I finish."<br />
<br />
"Good... so im going on a business trip for 3 weeks "<br />
<br />
"I'm going with you."<br />
<br />
"No you're not."<br />
<br />
"Yes I am," Janine countered, "it's too dangerous right now."<br />
<br />
"Exactly why you're staying here. You dont call the shots. I do."<br />
<br />
"Stay here and do what? Protect the house?"<br />
<br />
"Sure or call Maddox or Sasha over. Be a regular 21 year old." Doc suggested.<br />
<br />
Freedom. That appealed to her but she wasn't buying it. Doc always had plans on plans. "Maybe ... Where are you going though?" She'd just find out later.<br />
<br />
"Where are you going?" He mocked her. Incredulous. "When did you become so damn nosey?"<br />
<br />
"I want to make sure you're safe, Doc."<br />
<br />
"Thank you ..." he paused, "look i love you, YOU ARE my daughter and i would fuckin die for you, but you gotta get a fuckin grip. Everything that i do ... isnt your damn business and i need you to learn to stop asking."<br />
<br />
"Okay," she mumbled. Not defeated, but pretended to be so. She would snoop as soon as she could. WHo was he to not even answer her damn questions? When she finished her food, she left the table to get ready to do a job.<br />
<br />
Doc rolled his eyes, "just so you know if any thing of mine is out of place because you were being nosey. You will have to move out.." he yelled after her.<br />
<br />
She immediately giggled, "okay!"<br />
<br />
| 1 Week Later |<br />
<br />
Janine was laying on the couch, sharpening a knife when Maddox walked in. He saw Janine laying on the couch and sat at her feet, "yo."<br />
<br />
"Hi. What's up?" She looked at him and continued sharpening.<br />
<br />
"Nothin, this all you been doin all day? "<br />
<br />
"This. Meditating. Snooping. Working out. Yea."<br />
<br />
He put his hand on her thigh, "workout? Why didn't you just call me over?"<br />
<br />
"I was trying to see if I could deal with living alone."<br />
<br />
"Even when you live alone, you have company over," he scooted closer to her and pulled her feet to his lap.<br />
<br />
"Yea. You're right." She nodded and put the knife down, "What are you doing today?"<br />
<br />
"Chillin with you... thats why im here. Pops said you were here alone and i told him I'd come keep you company"<br />
<br />
"Thank you. What's college like? Real college."<br />
<br />
"College is chill. I really enjoy it on one side but im glad i graduate this summer. You should go and experience it. It'll teach you some people skills."<br />
<br />
"Yea. I have 2 degrees already but yea, I just wanna go and try to be normal. I don't know. I don't like to study. Sick of all the studying."<br />
<br />
"Studying is my favorite part, but then again im a history minor and a business major. I love knowledge."<br />
<br />
"It's horrible... All the languages I had to learn on top of school work. I cried a lot my teenage years," she smiled, "I almost killed myself once."<br />
<br />
"What the fuck, why?"<br />
<br />
"Just angry. I was 15. I'd conquered Spanish, Italian, and French. Doc wanted me to learn German next. Anyway ... I told him I'd learn it faster if I could go to a real class and be around other people. I started screaming and throwing shit. I just wanted out of the house is all. The backyard didn't count. I was sick of being grounded for life so I cut up my wrists. Doc was pissed," she laughed.<br />
<br />
"That's not funny." He shook his head, "i never went through that teenage angst bullshit," he massaged her feet.<br />
<br />
"You have great parents. You were normal."<br />
<br />
"I did. .. but you had my father and he was great to you?"<br />
<br />
"I had a nanny up until last year. Your dad would come a couple times a week for training until he moved in here. I wish he could have been here the whole time. I understand he couldn't but it would have been nice." She paused, "he was great when he was here." Nodding.<br />
<br />
"What was up with your nanny?"<br />
<br />
"Doc needed someone here with me at all times. Especially when I was little. She was a nanny and a tutor. She wasn't big on affection. I tried to like her but she made it clear it was a job to her, that She didn't like me and that was the attitude I should adopt. I hug doc. That's all. I don't touch people and don't want them touching me." She paused, "You're okay."<br />
<br />
"Oh? Because i can stop."<br />
<br />
"It's okay. Feels nice. Thanks."<br />
<br />
"I cant believe you were a virgin for so long. That shit went out the door for me at 13 years old."<br />
<br />
"I wasn't allowed around anyone other than whoever doc brought here ... And of course, when I was out on jobs." She sat up and folded her legs up close to her chest. "Tell me about your job."<br />
<br />
Maddox was in the middle of rubbing her feet as she pulled away so he just rested his hands in his lap, "which one? The one my dad is training me for?"<br />
<br />
"No. Your regular job."<br />
<br />
"School is my regular job..."<br />
<br />
"Oh ... okay. I never got to follow you during the day. I just thought you had a regular job."<br />
<br />
He shook his head, "you really gotta learn to be a real girl. Stalking is not attractive."<br />
<br />
"I know," she nodded, "or at least I just found out a few weeks ago," she chuckled. "If I move out ... IF ... I'll get friends maybe. I'd rather stay here but Doc wants to keep me locked up if I stay here. And look at me ... he's not even here to watch me and I'm still in the house."<br />
<br />
"And thats why he trusts you, so keep it that way. Be careful who you call your friend though," he adjusted his man package with one hand and slipped his opposing hand under one of his ass cheeks. He was so horny. He just was hoping her weird ass would reciprocate.<br />
<br />
Nodding, "true." She raised an eyebrow at his movement, then smirked, "do you hate my hair? When it's curly ..."<br />
<br />
"Nah i like it better than your straight hair. If i wanted to date a white girl, I'd date a white girl."<br />
<br />
Janine narrowed her eyes. She was gonna give Sasha a really good tongue lashing, "okay ... That makes me happy."<br />
<br />
"What was that look?"<br />
<br />
"I was told that my curly hair could possibly be seen as a turn off because I'll look too young."<br />
<br />
"Hmm, i think your actions and you not knowing where to place your hands when i am clearly flirting with you is what makes you seem young. The straight hair makes you look older and it was sexy, but being that I'm a man from the south. Im attracted to those cornfed black women. With a fat ass and a nice rack, but also, natural hair as long as the shit dont look dry and unkempt."<br />
<br />
"Mine is moisturized and really soft!" She'd perked up and then calmed herself, "so that's what you're doing ... Flirting with me ... I'm so stupid," she laughed and shook her head, "let's go upstairs. Doc's got cameras down here."<br />
<br />
Chuckling, "yeah, that's what im doing" he stood up and followed her upstairs.Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-6997887726450991862015-11-16T11:25:00.001-06:002015-11-16T11:25:33.822-06:00Doc's Little Girl - 4| Next Day |<br />
<br />
Maddox showed up in a pair of black dickies and a black tank top. He walked in the house and yelled out, "janine!"<br />
<br />
"You bellowed," she said from the top of the stairs.<br />
<br />
He walked up the stairs, "where do we need to be?"<br />
<br />
"Back yard." She strolled downstairs in sneakers, thin sweats and a tank top.<br />
<br />
He let her walk past him and then followed her, "where's pops?"<br />
<br />
"In his office."<br />
<br />
They walked out to the back yard, Maddox asked her, "how are you?"<br />
<br />
"I'm fine. Thank you. I like your ..." She motioned to his clothes, "relaxed look."<br />
<br />
"Thank you..." he gave a slight smirk.<br />
<br />
"Okay. Let's get started." They went out back to a real dead body. "This one is fresh," Janine smiled, "only dead about half an hour.<br />
<br />
"Alright guide, guide me."<br />
<br />
| Hours Later |<br />
<br />
After they'd gone over everything a few times with more than that one body, they disposed of their clothes and went back inside, grabbing more after doing so. Maddox and Janine went to Doc's office after, "we're done," she said.<br />
<br />
"Good. Maddox, how comfortable are you with killing?"<br />
<br />
He hesitated, "fine with it."<br />
<br />
Doc shook his head, "no you aren't ... you hesitated. You should know. You wanted in on this, right?"<br />
<br />
Maddox nodded, "yeah."<br />
<br />
"So when you answer a question, there better not be any hesitations. Janine ..."<br />
<br />
"Yes?" She answered while in a daydream. Her head was still at the body dump that just took place so her mood was a little awkward.<br />
<br />
"Pull Armand out of his cage. Maddox, kill him. I dont give a fuck how you do it. Leave."<br />
<br />
Janine blinked one time and relaxed, ending her daydream, "Kay!" Janine happily walked off, Maddox behind her while rolling his eyes. The two of them went down a level to the basement. Once in the basement, she walked to a big door at the end of the room. Janine punched in a 4 digit code at the door, then swung it open. She and Maddox walked through, then janine closed that door and went down another level of stairs to a sub basement. They walked through what seemed like an ordinary bedroom. In the closet, Janine put her hand on a digital 'clock' and the wall moved away. She and Maddox traveled down another level to the sub basement.<br />
<br />
Inside the subbasement was a row of 5 holding cells. They were all square shaped, 5x5 feet each, with thick metal bars that had a door on the front and a gaping lock hole. Armand was the only one present in the basement at that moment. "Good morning, Armand!" Janine went to the cage and rattled it as if she were playing with an animal.<br />
<br />
The spanish man, scared shitless, scurried to the back of the cage, saying prayers in spanish. Janine had been playing with her pet for the better part of 2 weeks. "Should we spin the wheel today?" Janine pointed to a circle on the far wall that looked like an elaborate prize wheel. "Yesterday was ........... Clean Cut. I really enjoyed that." The day before, to just have some fun with Armand. Janine tazed Armand and took him out of his cage to strap him to a table. She then put tiny cuts all over his naked body with a knife. When she was satisfied with a nice even 200 cuts, she poured alcohol all over him, then peroxide, then alcohol again, and then more peroxide. When she was satisfied with the amount of screams, she put more cuts along his scalp and poured vinegar all over it, citing that he needed an ACV rinse to keep his hair and scalp happy. "Just kidding," Janine told him with a laugh, "it's execution day!" She said Spanish, then looked at Maddox, "How do you want it?"<br />
<br />
"Just open the cage" maddox stood back, mentally preparing himself, but completely ready.<br />
<br />
Janine opened the cage and then stepped back. "You've been granted mercy," she told Armand in Spanish, "he'll do you instead of me."<br />
<br />
Maddox had closed his eyes and then walked up to the cage, he pulled a knife from his pocket and grabbed the guy by the neck. Janine leaned against the wall and waited. Armand figured he had it easy and calmed down a bit. He was praying for death and his prayer was answered. As soon as he relaxed, maddox grabbed the guy from the cage by his ankle. Each ankle he grabbed, he stomped on it, breaking them. He knew his father, and Janine, wanted it to be dirty. Janine, in the meantime, made mental notes to take back to Doc while Armand howled about his broken ankles.<br />
<br />
Maddox broke a few more limbs, snapping his body at the joints with sheer strength. He then pulled a serrated blade and began to saw at Armand's neck with his bar hands, while Armand was screaming. In the moment, that fucked him up, but of course he played it off. Tossing the head to the ground, he looked to janine who had a look of pleasure on her face. It was the look a woman has when she's found the perfect pair of shoes. This ... Was her perfect pair of shoes. Janine nodded with a huge smile, "next time, if you want to cut it off with your hands, I'll give you a better blade. Severing the spinal column can be a bitch."<br />
<br />
"Alright..." he took his shirt off and cleaned his hands of with it, "thank you."<br />
<br />
"Sure. Do you want to go get some drinks tonight? Relax a little?"<br />
<br />
"Sure. Okay," he nodded as they began to clean up the mess.<br />
<br />
| Later |<br />
<br />
After Maddox left, Janine went through her workout routine, then accepted a job from Doc to take place the next day. She got dressed in skinny jeans, heels, silk tank and stopped by Doc's office to ask if she can go out. But first, she put a jacket on to cover her rack. "Doc." She met him in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"Yes, sweetheart.." he was standing by the window looking outside.<br />
<br />
"Uhmmm so can I go out? I'm already dressed," she sung.<br />
<br />
"Go where?"<br />
<br />
"Restaurant .. Or bar... with Maddox."<br />
<br />
"Oh ok, go ahead"<br />
<br />
"Doc. When can I start leaving without asking?"<br />
<br />
"When youre 25 or move out," he smirked.<br />
<br />
She opened her mouth and then closed it. "I don't want to move out."<br />
<br />
"Youre gonna have to cut the cord sometime janine. What are you afraid of?"<br />
<br />
"Being alone. I don't want to be alone." She sighed.<br />
<br />
"Find a roommate."<br />
<br />
"I don't like them."<br />
<br />
"Well, find a husband."<br />
<br />
"That's stupid and you know it." She chuckled, "Whose gonna marry me with the job I have?"<br />
<br />
"Thats why you lie and say you - you know what? I dont care... leave, just as you asked. Go have those drinks."<br />
<br />
"I don't want to have to lie." She ignored the rest he'd said.<br />
<br />
"Bye," Doc said simply.<br />
<br />
Janine stood for a moment, then nodded a bit, "bye." She took some car keys and left.<br />
<br />
| Coraline's Tapas Bar |<br />
<br />
She and maddox met at a bar that had decent food, "hey," she sat on the stool next to him."<br />
<br />
"Hey..." he greeted her with a half hug and kiss on the temple.<br />
<br />
"Did you start without me?" Then looked at the bartender, "bottle of Patron and shot glasses. Also give me Singapore Sling and water."<br />
<br />
"Yeah, got here early." He stared at his glass.<br />
<br />
"You okay?" She looked at the side of his face.<br />
<br />
"I'll be okay." He was still shaken up from what he did earlier. he'd always been a good guy and that day, he killed a man. No questions asked.<br />
<br />
"I was 12," she glanced at him, then nodded at the bartender as he put the bottle of patron and glasses down, "Thanks," and poured herself a shot of Patron.<br />
<br />
"12?"<br />
<br />
"When I first ... went to work." She said since people were close by.<br />
<br />
"That wasn't my first time," Maddox told her.<br />
<br />
"Really? When?"<br />
<br />
"20 was the first time. Then last year again ..." he looked at her, "I'm different from you. I have feelings. Real emotions and a conscience, so it takes more out of me."<br />
<br />
"I understand. No one should be a robot."<br />
<br />
"The first time i did it, I began to see a change in myself. The way i viewed people and talked to people. Im not the same funny light hearted person i used to be."<br />
<br />
"Do you want to do this ... job?"<br />
<br />
"Yes..." He didn't hesitate with that answer.<br />
<br />
"Well alright. You'll get through it."<br />
<br />
"You want to go back to my place?" He just needed to bone.<br />
<br />
She grinned, "Yes." Janine knocked down a shot down, then stood up.<br />
<br />
Maddox put some money on the counter to more than cover everything. He picked up the bottle of Patron to take it with them. They left the bar, got in their separate cars and went to his place. Once there, Maddox took Janine's coat and hung it up, "welcome."<br />
<br />
"Thanks. It's so different from the inside," she started looking around<br />
<br />
"Yeah, sasha put it together.."<br />
<br />
"Nice job. She's wonderful."<br />
<br />
"Yeah..." he took janine's hand and began to lead her through his house.<br />
<br />
They went on to his bedroom and Janine sat on the corner of his bed. This was it. She was about to lose her V card. She was so excited, she didn't knew what to do.<br />
<br />
Maddox took off his shirt and then sat on both knees. He looked up into her eyes. She had a small smile on her face. He unbuttoned her pants and pulled them off along with her panties. Before going down on her, he grabbed her head and kissed her on the lips. In that kiss he pulled her down to sit around his waist while he still sat on his knees. Stopping the kiss, he put two fingers in his mouth, pulled them out and went back in the kiss, then took those wet fingers and began to rub her spot from behind her. She wrapped her arms around him tighter as he made her wetter and wetter.Devahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743041306853418331noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522772939727183426.post-29456077498495254412015-11-16T11:23:00.003-06:002015-11-16T11:23:45.755-06:00Doc's Little Girl - 3| 2 Weeks Later |<br />
<br />
Janine loved being in the shadows. It was her favorite place when she was working. She was in all black, fitted cargo pants, black work boots, long sleeved black shirt, black gloves and a ski mask. She was standing beside a closed door in an alley way. When out jobs, Janine was always told to cover herself from head to toe. She was a weapon and Doc made sure, that as a child, she knew that secret weapons weren't to be paraded around. So while the rest of the men in the Business were in regular tailored suits and glocks, she was to be a shadow on the wall, stealthy and lethal.<br />
<br />
Janine beat on the door three times with her fist. It was the kitchen of a fancy uptown Ukranian restaurant. Their was a thin layer of smoke in the air and 5 people rushing around putting food on plates, but Janine wasn't stupid. Anyone who was employed here worked for the Russian mob. "Rastitel'noye dostavka [vegetable delivery]," she called out in perfect Russian. Then followed with, "svekla, kapusta, luk [beets, cabbage, onions]." She reached down into her combat boots and pulled out two black objects that fit in her hands. They resembled 1 pound weights. The door clicked and then was pushed open. Janine pressed herself against the wall behind the door, waiting for the man to come out into the alley. He didn't, which was fine with her, she just needed his neck. 'Come on,' she mouthed to herself. He stuck his head out further beyond the door and Janine clicked a small button at the back end of the hand object. It grew into a foot long baton. Collapsible. But the end of it was a razor sharp and ready for stabbing.<br />
<br />
Janine whipped the baton, hitting the man in the adams apple. He stumbled forward and Janine grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled him out to the alley where she used the sharp end of the other baton to open a hole in his carotid artery. Blood started to squirt out in short spurts and the man collapsed to the ground. Janine grabbed the closing door, opened it wide and walked inside the kitchen. 3 of them started moving in her direction, while a 4th went to a phone. From Janine's back pocket, she took out one of her many 4 inch steel and hollow throwing knives and launched it at the guy, catching him in the base of his head to catch his spine. As long as he went down, she'd deal with him later. He did. She advanced.<br />
<br />
She broke into a run with her body leaning slightly forward. Both batons were at full length and she ran up to the first two advancing, slicing, twisting her body, striking. Her right baton connected with the left mans face, left baton slapped the right mans neck. Every strike leaving welts on the skin where the skin had broken. She dipped low and started laying lashes onto the two that were behind the previous. She took little time with the baton, instead lifting her foot and and kicking one mans knee, bending in completely backward, then twisting her body to the other man, turning her batons sideways in her hands, and laying two quick punches to his throat. Seeing the first man in her peripheral vision, she ducked under his swing and laid a killer blow to his kidney, then used the sharp end of the baton to stab him there as well. He wailed a bit and Janine kicked him off of her now bloody baton.<br />
<br />
Only a few minutes after, Janine cut the throats of all 5 men that were laying on the floor. She hadn't been touched. Her batons dripped blood as she walked through the kitchen, into a tiny hallway and to the office she was originally targeting. They knew she was coming. As soon as she opened the door, the boss was standing in the center of 4 other men. She could have been flashy but Doc wanted this hit done quickly and she already used too much time playing with her food in the kitchen. She stood for a second. The boss opened his mouth to speak and Janine threw a knife, catching him in his throat. He clawed at the knife, pulling it out of his throat as he went down. Then the gun shots began. Janine quickly dropped to the floor, rolling in their direction while pulling out a handheld Cobray M11 Fully Automatic Machine gun. She started to spray random bullets, making them take cover, then crouched down and played a quick round of target practice with their peaking heads. When the last flunky fell. Janine stood up and then skipped. Yes, skipped ... Over to the boss, who was half dead. She smiled down at him, "Doc sends his regards," then lifted her foot and came down hard, crushing his throat. When the life drained from his eyes, she smiled and waved, then skipped out of the office, through the kitchen, and out of the back door she came through.<br />
<br />
| 1 Week Later |<br />
<br />
Maddox came to the hideout house to shoot off rounds. He was seasoned with smaller guns but was getting acquainted with a sawed off shot gun and bigger things as well. Doc was with him when Janine and Sasha came out from practicing lightweight natural makeup. It was true in that last moment Sasha was told not to come by but she couldn't help it and made a point to hang with Janine just to be her sexy spirit guide, "Your boy looks good," Sasha smiled as she naturally sauntered alongside Janine.<br />
<br />
"He can't even handle a sawed off ... I can't do anything with him," Janine turned her nose up.<br />
<br />
"Girl, we all have to start somewhere. Dont be salty from that old ass rejection." Sasha walked off as they finished, "may we?" Sasha asked more so to Doc, flirting as always.<br />
<br />
Doc nodded, "by all means..." He stepped away.<br />
<br />
Sasha tossed Janine a sawed off, then grabbed one herself, "don't be fancy and do it with one hand, Sasha. You're a show off," Janine joked.<br />
<br />
"Oh baby, i can shoot one of these with my feet. ."she smirked as sheet cocked it and began to shoot the targets.<br />
<br />
The ladies finished off all the targets with a variety of shot guns. Janine made lots of lewd comments about the persons head exploding from a close range shot. When they finished, they were so kind as to change out the target sheets. Janine was caressing a long shot gun with a chrome handle when a woman approached Doc and Maddox.<br />
<br />
It was Lynn Ames. She and Doc were currently separated which is why he was living mostly in the hideout. She looked to be a bit annoyed, "Maddox..." she looked to Doc, unamused.<br />
<br />
"Oh crap." Janine stopped moving.<br />
<br />
"Lynn ..." Doc sighed but walked towards her.<br />
<br />
She looked like she'd been crying, Maddox kissed his mother on the forehead before she continued, "I need to talk to you," her eyes trained on Doc, "can we go back into the house please?"<br />
<br />
Doc turned to the group, "clean this up," then walked away with Lynn.<br />
<br />
They did as they were told, "so, little doc, how have you been?" Sasha smiled at him.<br />
<br />
"Well..." he dissembled the guns, "you?"<br />
<br />
"Same. Anything I can do for you?"<br />
<br />
"What do you mean?" Maddox looked at Sasha, clearly they were cleaning up all the shooting gear, "no, Im good, sweetheart," he then looked to Janine, "how are you, Janine? "<br />
<br />
"Awesome. Yes. I'm good, thanks. Shotguns make me jittery." She giggled just a bit and started sweeping up shells.<br />
<br />
"Why..." he checked out her ass while she was sweeping. Sasha saw him.<br />
<br />
"I like them and want to keep shooting. I like big guns. My hands feel empty when I put it away."<br />
<br />
"Oh. I have to say Im a desert eagle kinda man."<br />
<br />
Nodding, "that looks like you actually."<br />
<br />
"Yea, it does."<br />
<br />
"So lil doc. ." Sasha began<br />
<br />
"Yea?" He looked to her<br />
<br />
"Why you playing hard to get with Janine?"<br />
<br />
"Me? Naw... no hard to get.."<br />
<br />
"Then what's the issue?" Sasha asked.<br />
<br />
"Who said there was one?" He looked at her, "Janine, did i ever express to you that we had a problem?" He turned and crossed his arms over his chest.<br />
<br />
"No. It's no problem that you don't like me in that way." Janine answered without emotion.<br />
<br />
"So you came to that conclusion on your own?" Maddox actually showed emotion, "you want my complete opinion of you?" Walked to stand in front of her.<br />
<br />
"Yea." She dropped the broom.<br />
<br />
"I like you. Im attracted to you. How you look, dress or no dress. I would still fuck the shit out of you. My thing is you are so inexperienced when it comes to everything except how to extract someone's organs and make it look like nothing happened. Also, you gotta stop assuming you know who the fuck i am, im not a fuckin puzzle and im as simple as just opening your gotdamn mouth and asking!"<br />
<br />
"Ooo.." sasha smirked as she watched on.<br />
<br />
"You want a fuckin kiss, ask for it, just dont go around here gossiping or saying he don't like me, fuck outta hear, girl. .." he continued taking the guns apart.<br />
<br />
"Oh how interesting," Janine picked up the broom, "duly noted."<br />
<br />
Sasha just looked at her, "you are something else,"<br />
<br />
"What?"<br />
<br />
"Are you that dense?" Sasha laughed, "he just ... nevermind.." as maddox walked to carry the guns inside and down the cellar.<br />
<br />
"What? I heard what he said. I'll figure out how to proceed later," Janine assured her.<br />
<br />
"Ok girl.." sasha smiled as they heard yelling coming from the house.<br />
<br />
"I NEVER! WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MADDOX!" Lynn ran to her car and drove off as Doc walked off.<br />
<br />
Janine went around the side of the house and looked at Doc who was standing at the door. "Are you okay?" She didn't give a shit about Lynn.<br />
<br />
Doc watched as Lynn drove off, "I'm fine, and she will be as well" he turned around and went back in the house.<br />
<br />
"What happened to Ma? Why the fuck is she upset?" Maddox came from the gun cellar.<br />
<br />
"She'll be fine," Doc brushed it off, "if you're that concerned, go after her."<br />
<br />
Maddox just shook his head and left the house.<br />
<br />
Janine followed Doc inside, right on his heels and almost bumping into him when he would turn a corner, "Doc."<br />
<br />
"Yes, Janine?" he turned to her.<br />
<br />
She took a quick step back, looking up at him, "What happened?"<br />
<br />
"Don't worry about it."<br />
<br />
"Doc ..." She sighed, "you want a drink?"<br />
<br />
"Don't worry about it."<br />
<br />
"No, im fine, just let her believe what she wants. If it'll keep her safe, that's fine by me."<br />
<br />
"Can I do anything?"<br />
<br />
"Janine, what the fuck do you want me to say? If i needed something, i would ask!" Truth was he plotted for weeks to get Lynn to ask for a separation, because he knew things were heating up and he couldnt risk it. Thats why for the past 10 months, he's lived in the safe house as opposed to his original home, "Janine there is one thing i want you to do."<br />
<br />
"Okay ..."<br />
<br />
"Train Maddox on clean up."<br />
<br />
"No problem." She went and hugged him. "I love you." Then disappeared.<br />
<br />
Doc nodded and picked up the phone to make a few calls.<br />
