Deceit in their silence - Completed

Twenty Seven.

"Lennox!" I groaned and turned to face the door. "Open the fucking door now before I break it down." It was too early and too bright for this. I threw back the duvet and walked over to the door, unlocking it and opening it. 

"What Sonny?" 

"Fucking hell you look horrendous." He pushed the door open and checked all the rooms making sure I was safe. 

"Gee. Great way to welcome a woman. No wonder you're single." He pushed the gun I didn't realise he had out back into his pocket.

"I'm not." 

"Aw girlfriend back home?" 

"Boyfriend actually." 

"I'm too hungover for you to drop that bombshell. What do you want?" 

"Its 1pm and no one has seen you since you apparently tried to kill Carlos last night? We've not even been here 24 hours."

"He fucking deserved it." I walked back to my bed, laying back down and pulling a pillow over my head. 

"Yeah Jaxson said. I'm not even going to ask why you're wearing his top." I sat up quickly and looked down and suddenly last night came flooding back to me. 

"Shit." I stood up and walked past Sonny, grabbing my phone from the side I'd left it on yesterday evening "Nothing happened. I had too much wine he didn't want me to sleep alone just in case but I left his room and came here." I scrolled through the missed calls and texts from him. Oh god he probably thinks I'm pissed off.  "What do you want anyway?" 

"To check on you. Also Jaxson is looking for you. He said to go see him down by the steps to the lake."

"Can you tell him I'm too hungover. I just want to sleep." 

"No can do. He told me he wasn't taking no for an answer and to make it clear to you. I don't know why I'm playing messenger you guys have phones for a reason." 

"Yeah I kind of haven't answered any of his texts or calls about it. Thanks Sonny. Anything else?" 

"No. I'll leave you to get dressed. Oh actually. The girls said they miss you." I tilted my head and ran my hands through my hair. 

"Can you send them up? I don't think they even know where my room is. Just tell them I'm in the shower and to wait in here. Oh tell them coffee too. I need coffee." He nodded and walked out the room, closing the doors behind him. 

Sorry, only just woke up. Sonny pounding on my door when I'm severely hung over was not the best thing to wake up to. I'll get ready and come down but might be an hour? 

Okay see you soon.

I locked my phone after seeing his reply and walked to get in the shower, dropping his shirt to the floor. I'll tidy up later. I do not have the energy for it right now.  

After about 5 minutes of cold water pouring down on my head I was starting to feel a little better. I heard my door open and Sofia call my name. 

"I'm just in the shower give me a few minutes. Did you bring coffee?" 

"Of course we did." I smiled and turned the water off. I wrapped myself and my hair in a towel and walked back into the room, smiling at the girls but they did not look impressed. 

"What's up?" 

"Why is his top on your bathroom floor?"  I turned my head looking behind my and quickly closed the door. 

"Um-" 

"I thought I heard someone creeping about last night." Lexie smirked and sat backwards. 

"OKAY. Fine. I had 2 bottles of wine and he took me back to his room so I didn't choke on my own puke. We didn't do anything. Things got a little too hot and I ran."  I sat on the sofa beside Daisy and took the towel out of my hair, drying it carefully. 

"What do you mean got too hot?" Sofia held a cup out for me and I took it almost crying at its beauty. 

"I told him I didn't want to loose him again and he said he wasn't going anywhere. Then he lifted my head up and our lips were literally just before touching and then he told me he was struggling to keep his hands off me and he was mad that I had drunk so much because it meant he couldn't do anything. And then I got up and left." 

"Did you say anything?" Iris raised an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly. 

"I told him I needed to go and that I shouldn't be there. He's text me loads but I haven't fully read them. Sonny said something about he wants me to go down to the dock to see him so I text him I'd be an hour or so and that's it." I sipped the coffee and laid my wet head on Daisy. "There's something else I need to tell you girls though. So you know Roman is dad's 'heir to the throne' and everything?" They all nodded "Well my dad has decided I'm getting half of it now too." 

"What does that mean?" Daisy asked looking down at me. I sat up and took another sip of coffee. 

"It means when my dad retires or god forbid he passes, I will be helping Roman with everything. A working woman." 

"Oh my god are you going to be a mafia boss?!" Sofia slapped her hand over mouth and I nodded. 

"I guess so yeah."

"God that's different." I nodded 

"Is this why you've been so quiet?"

"I mean yeah. Its been a rough few days. Feels like everything's just gone mental. I've just been processing it. I mean Roman was raised for this. He's been training his own life and then I get told literally in the same sentence as I'm told I'm being shipped out here again. The last time I was here my mom was shot dead, who knows what's happening back home. I can't guarantee either of them are safe and if something happens that means the business is 100% mine and I have not a single clue what I'm doing." I put the coffee cup down on the table and sat backwards, breathing out a sigh that I'd finally got it completely off my chest. 

Daisy's arm wrapped around me as she hugged me tightly. 

"We've got this. We will work it out if it comes to that but I hope it doesn't and were back home soon. But right now we need to worry about getting you ready for Jaxson." Daisy kissed my forehead gently. 

"And whilst you're busy down there we will convince the guys we need some training. If we're going to be the mafia boss' best friends we should probably be able to fight better huh?" Sofia smiled and stood up, holding a hand out for me. I took it and she pulled me up. I loved these girls beyond words.
