R&R

Chapter 8

I woke up with my phone ringing. It was Tommy. I pressed the red button and turned to see Randy, he was fast asleep, he had a hickey on his neck and it was very apparent. My body ached, seeing him lying there asleep was making me frustrated again. I let my hands wander and it woke him up. He smiled and we were at it again.

I walked through to the sitting room with a nightgown on. April, Ramee and Vinny were there and they looked tired.

"Ray!" April stood up.

"Hi..." I stood awkwardly.

"Are you okay?" She dashed over to me and pulled me in for a hug. "We sorted it, don't worry." She took me to the table.

"What do you mean you sorted it?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Vinny, Ramee and Curtis hammered him into the ground." Her lip twitched in anger. "They didn't kill him, he's definitely at his house licking his wounds." She turned to Ramee and put her hand on his leg affectionately. "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" She turned back to me.

"You beat him up?!" I gawked at the boys.

"Of course we did." Vinny sat up with a frown. "He disrespected one of K's favourites." His chest puffed out proudly. "You hurt the heart the hands get involved." He assured me. "The only reason we didn't kill him is because K doesn't want the heat." Vinny almost growled bitterly.

"You didn't have to do that." I took Vinny's hand. "But thank you for having my back." I squeezed it. "You too Ramee, you're the best family ever." I smiled at them tenderly.

"Anything you need Ray." Ramee nodded to me as he put his hand on April's.

"I need sleep." I chuckled. "I'm going back to bed but again, I can't thank you enough for having my back." I smiled at them but got up to go back to bed. I got back into the room and saw Randy sprawled out on my bed and my stomach hit the floor.

What the fuck was I thinking?! Sleeping with Randy?!

I heart started beating hard. He was lying on the side I usually slept at. I picked up my phone and saw I had loads of messages. Even ones from Tommy.

'It's not what you think!' He started with. 'Ray will you pick up! I need to explain.' My mouth twitched angrily. I opened the ones from Dean and few more Mandem boys but I ignored them all. Even Lana had messaged me.

I got into bed putting my phone on the bedside table. My life was uprooted again but I got myself into it, this was the path I had chosen so I had to stick it out. I felt my heart harden a little bit. Tommy was supposed to be something sturdy, someone I could rely on.

I turned to Randy who's sleeping face was so relaxed. He was sturdy, my best friend, well he was, I had no clue how we would be now...

I couldn't deny the guy was excellent in bed but... he was my best friend and that came first, even if it means swallowing this down like a bitter pill then so be it. I couldn't lose Randy too.

I lay down and fell asleep.

I woke to the sound of gunshots. I hopped up, grabbing the first things I saw to put on. It was one of Randy's t-shirts and leggings. I could see Randy was doing the same grabbing clothes to put on. I grabbed my guns and knives as I walked over to my bedroom window.

"This way!" I gestured to the wall you could jump to out my window. Randy and Vinny followed me as I soared through the air to grab the wall. I pulled myself up and stayed low as I helped Randy and Vinny up the wall.

The shots were coming from the front of the cubby. I pulled my Ak off my back and walked over to the cover shields. I peeked down fully expecting to see Mandem but it was GG. I opened fired taking down a few of them as they scattered.
