Wife of a Mob Boss

Chapter 16 <3

"Who is this," Greg asks picking the yellow folder I was holding out of my hands.

"Hey!"

"Oh this guy," Greg says with chuckle leaning against my beds frame.  "He got himself shot in the knee yesterday.  Moron."

I gave a sigh and retrieved the folder back from him.  I was blushing slightly, mostly from crying.  Greg had held and protected me as I had cried and after I was finished offered to help me with my homework.

He now lays beside me on my bed and I sat beside him.  Ever since we got back he has been cracking jokes none stop.  Not that I minded it though, it is about the only thing to help get me back from my depression.

"This is boring," Greg complained with a groan.  He put his arms behind his head and crossed his legs.  I glanced over at him with a frown.  "Your the one that wanted to help me remember?"

Greg looked at me with a frown.  His heavy atmosphere surrounding us.  I rolled my eyes and gave a sigh.  "Nock it off, Greg.  I am in no need for your stuffy air."

Even after I looked away I could still feel Greg's watch on me.  I looked at the clock several minutes later and it read ten o'clock.  So late already I wondered with a yawn.

My eyes had began to droop and I decided to lean against the head board to read.  I was surprised I had read through so many on my first day.  I went to pick up the next and saw a familiar name printed on the front.  This was Rachel's file.  Before I could read though I drifted off to sleep.

I was so comfortable and warm I was reluctant to get up when the sun shined on my face from the window.  I was huddled against something warm and was thinking nothing of it until that something moved.

My eyes shot open and I realized I was cuddled up against a sleeping Greg.

W-what is this!?  I stiffened and looked at Greg's sleeping face.  He seemed so peaceful even though he is in a strange girls bed.

I moved slightly away to plot my escape.  If I could just get away from him while he is asleep maybe I can try and find a way out of this Mob train.

As I was just about to get up off the bed Greg squirm slightly as if having a nightmare.  I became ridged as a rock and waited.  Greg continued to squrim and he even let out a small whimper that caused my heart to suddenly jump.  I leaned over to him and touched his shoulder to try and wake him.

"Greg?  Greg wake up."

"Nn...E-ellen..."  Greg had spoken a woman's name I'm his state.  My heart beat slowed and I suddenly became worried.  Who...is Ellen I wonder...

"N-no..."  Greg now began to sweat badly now and I soon began to worry more.  I rushed into the bathroom and retrieved a wet cloth and wiped his forehead.

I became self conscious as I realized his close my face was to his.  Why is my heart beating this fast?  I stopped the cloth on Greg's cheek as my face flushed from realization.  C-could it be that...that I might have...a crush on Greg!?

Greg's squirming seemed to slack off as I continued to wipe his face.  B-but this can not happen!  Not here!  Not like this!  And why him?  Am I trying to get us both killed!

I gasped dropping the rag as I grabbed my head with both hands.  What happens if William finds out!?  He will kill Greg!  He might even kill me!  I suddenly felt ill.

Greg opened his eyes then.  He blinked a few times before propping himself up in one arm.  "Wh-what is going on?"  He took one look at me and froze.  "U-uh-Jady?  You don't look so good."

"Ah, you don't say- wait!  Your the one who fell asleep in my bed!". I pointed to him and spoke loudly to cover the fact I was totally embarrassed.

Greg was shocked before he frowned.  "You could have just told me to leave."

I started and I could not stop the red I knew that was creeping into my face.

"Let's just go," I spat out to which Greg shrugged to with a sleepy grin.

"Jun!," Kettle called out running up to me.  She had a smile that I knew to well and I felt myself become scared.

"No!  Kettle stop right-"

"So what is up with you and Greg," she demanded grabbing onto my arm.  Her blue eyes sparkling with delight.  "Come on!  You have to tell me!"

"T-there is nothing to tell," I said guarding the fact I had realized I may have feelings for Greg.

"Oh please!  Do you think I was trained as an assassian because I was good at my shot?  I can read people just as good as you so spill!"

I became flustered and confused.  I can not tell her I may have crush on Greg with putting both of our lives on the line.

"I-I think I left something I my room!  Be right back!"  I lied and ran away before Kettle could follow or protest.

Back in my room I breathed a sigh of relief.  Walking over to my bed I noticed the file from last night.

RACHEL LILA RUTS

I felt myself grow in easy at the prospect of reading my soon to become mother-in-law's history.  What will I learn of the former Jade?  I swallowed the lump in my throat and began to read.
