Make me

Bellamy

I glanced back momentarily at Adrian to see how he was doing, the male was trap in his thoughts. It was the most quiet I had ever seen him. I gripped the handles of the bike, speeding up.

"Slow down, why are you speeding up so suddenly!" Adrian spoke loudly, I could barely hear what he said due to the howling wind. I assumed he was telling me to slow down, which I sped up more.

I felt Adrian's grip get tighter around my waist. I began to slow down to pull over. I searched around, before heading to a coffee shop. I wanted an explanation on who that man was in the tent. When I had burst in, it seemed the two had some kind of history, they definitely knew each other. We came to a complete stop, I looked back at Adrian before getting off the bike.

"Where did you get the bike?" Adrian took the helmet off. "Stole it" I answered with a proud smile. "Stole it?" Adrian frowned as he got off, "return it" he ordered. "Why would I? It's a nice bike." I gave him an annoyed look. Adrian just looked at me "Then go back and pay for it.". "No money" I lied, I had money but I didn't want to spend it.

Adrian sighed "I'll buy it then- as a thank you" he said quickly, trying to by past the thank you part. I released a chuckle as I followed behind him as we walked in, "So, who was that guy?" I began my series of upcoming questions. "His name is Cain. He's the head of another powerful Mafia group- His father used to be partners with Marlin.." Adrian's voice got low when he spoke about Cain, "he was in prison for the past few years.." he muttered.

My eyes scanned Adrian, he didn't look hurt- only that he had a small bruise on his face, it wasn't yet noticeable, though in a few days it would be.

I studied his expression before giving a sympathetic smile, I wanted to gain his trust and love, "what do you want? I'll pay" he changed the subject for a brief moment. "Thought you had no money" He gave me a side glance, "Yeah I don't, I got like twenty bucks. Max" I laughed as he cracked a small smile, it was obvious he was trying to hold it back. The two of us ordered, then took a seat near the window.

I played with my straw debating whether or not I should ask more questions, I opened my mouth to speak but Adrian spoke first. "I'm assuming your wondering why he was in jail or who he is to me." Adrian didn't look up from his drink. It seemed something that weighed down on his shoulders. "No not really, but since you brought it up, you might as well share-" I acted as if that wasn't what I wanted to know. Adrian was more observant than I expected, he was really good at reading people and guessing what they wanted to know.

Adrian gave a small smile, finally looking at me "He's my first boyfriend, my love, my rapist.. my abuser" The expression in his voice shifted as he spoke, it was cold and plain. He spoke as if there was no hope left in the world now that Cain was released. "He's four years older then me, I met him in my second year of middle school- his father worked a lot with Marlin so naturally I hung out with him. Damn I fell for him hard" Adrian covered his face with his hands, his voice held regret and pain.

"I was in eight grade and he was a senior in high school when we dated, I hung out with him and his friends a lot- they weren't the best influence on me". "Woah woah wait, you were in middle school and you went out with a senior- a senior in high school" I spoke in disbelief. "Yeah I was very dumb and naive.. our relationship became toxic, I did a lot of things I didn't like.. anyway his father found out about us and tried to kill me" He muttered.

"My father was quick to act, he killed Cains father and pinned his death on Cain." Adrian frowned a bit. That was the first time I heard Adrian call Marlin his father and not by name. Adrian's face said it all, he still hadn't forgave his father, but was relieved Marlin acted.

"Going to jail for murder, would be years or a lifetime in prison not just four or five- assuming he got arrested his senior year?" it didn't make sense to me. "He was arrested two years after he graduated. Maybe had someone on the inside, who pulled strings. He's back now and he wants to get revenge on Marlin"

"Your dad has a lot of enemies- hypothetically speaking say, Cain managed to take your father down, would you automatically become the next boss?" I gave him a side glance as I took a sip of my drink. I wondered if this could be my ticket in.

"No.. Cain would.." Adrian grumbled nervously "Technically I would but I can't defeat Cain.. so I would end up giving it up..". "Ah I see, what I weee were to- I don't know, marry each other- hypothetically speaking" I rubbed my chin, Adrian didn't seem to find my question strange.

"Then we'd be in power, unless Cain kills you" Adrian shrugged, he really didn't think my question was off? "Him, kill me? Oh please I'm the best there is" I spoke in a cocky tone. "You had a shot today why didn't you take it?" Adrian questioned with a small frown.

"There were people around, a lot. I couldn't risk putting them in danger, anything could happen." I explained before giving a devilish smirk "You know we'd be a great power couple" I spoke in a seductive voice.

Adrian raised a brow before giving a small smile "You think so? If I didn't know any better I would say your hitting on me." He challenged the look in my eyes. I leaned forward as I placed my elbows on the table and my head in my hands "Maybe I am"

Adrian let out a nervous giggle, which I found cute. "Let's not joke around, Cmon let's go home." He was quick to change the subject. I watched as he got up from his seat and hurried out.

Was what I said bothering him? I frowned a bit, getting someone to like you is harder then it seems.

I rose from my seat, grabbing my drink. I heard Adrian scream from outside, the worse came to mind. Under my shirt by gun was slightly tucked in my pants. I hurried out to see the commotion. I placed my hand on my gun before removing my hand from it.

Adrian used the bike to block himself from a barking Doberman, that was tied to the nearby sigh. I gave a displeased look at Adrian "what are you doing?" I crossed my arms. "Shoot it! Before it gets loose" Adrian spoke fast, his voice trembled.

I put the pieces together, I crotchets next to him "the dog isn't going to hurt you, you know they sense when someone is afraid, which makes them want to go to you to show you they aren't bad, at least most dogs do that" I spoke, I grabbed his hand. "As if, big dogs are the spawn of the devil" Adrian spat taking his hand from me.

"I wouldn't have suspected you were scared of dogs." I put the helmet on his head. The dogs barking got loud, which Adrian seemed to react to. "Just breath and ignore it, he can't get to you" I spoke in a soft tone. My phone began to ring, I pulled it out and looked at it, it was Nick.

"Who's that, your boyfriend?" Adrian mumbled, as I put it away "Nah, it's a friend of mine" I lied as I got on the bike before Adrian did. The male put his arms around my waist as we started up.

I had forgotten about Nick, I couldn't think about him in the moment, I wanted to keep my attention on Adrian.
