"Val! Hurry Up were gonna be late." Dom groans tapping his foot impatiently. I hear a smack. "Ow!" He yells in shock. "Hey leave her alone." says Letty. I take one more look at my in the mirror before shoving on a pair my favorite . "You are so annoying ." I comment starting down the stairs.
"My engine needs work" Jesse says holding his head. "Well thats alright," I furrow my brows before smiling brightly. "You can ride with me ." I tease holding up the keys. He chuckles leading me outside.
The ride is a comfortable silence. I can feel Jesse's eyes watching me adoringly. I feel warm inside holding onto his hand I kiss it giving it a light squeeze. We pull up to the spot and in no time were ready to race. I step out of the car rolling my eyes at Dom and the cluster of girls surrounding him.
"RRRREOW" I purr glaring at them Letty steps in front of me '"I smell Skanks. Why don't you girls just pack it up before I leave trademarks on your faces" They roll there eyes and move on. I steer clear of Doms sorry excuse and spot blondie staring strait at my brother. Cop. Hes a cop and I know it. I start toward him.
"Hey" I say standing in his view. "Oh- shit-uh- Hey." He smiles unsure. "hows your er face?" he winces studying my expression "Hows yours?" I retorted. He stays silent. I sigh putting on an amused smirk. "Look, I know your a cop bro." He raises his brows swiping his nose. "I don't know what your talkin bout.-" I hold my hand up silencing him. "Maybe you aren't a cop, Maybe you aspire to be. Or maybe your just as normal as the rest of us. I love my family, and I cant afford anymore time without them."
I sashay away smiling in victory. Jesse holds his arm up and i sweep under. He kisses my nose and i blush furiously my gaze meeting Doms. Everyone's voice is drowned out as I get a text. It was my full intent to not answer it but before I knew it i was removing Jesse's hand and stepping away from the comfort of my family I bite my lip wincing at the metallic-y taste
. "He cant replace me V I'm the only one you'll ever need." I furiously typed back. "Hes more a man then you'll ever be." My feet carry me farther and farther away. Im stuck on this path now.
"You know whats your problem." Johnny's voice rings into my ears I gulp afraid of were my feet are taking me. "Im sure your going to tell me" I say my hands are stiff my body cold my veins boiling. "Your mouth says one thing and yet look were your feet carry you." I open my eyes wider Im looking around like a crazy woman.
Theres something about Jhonny Tran that makes me want to stay with him. He makes me feel wanted and cared for.I squeeze my eyes shut praying to get back home. I turn on my heels but 2 strong arms grab my waist gently and then theres the cool breath fawning on my neck. I force myself to breath evenly. "V" He whispers holding my hand. I spin around and push him. "Your an asshole and I told you to stop bothering me." He rolled his eyes letting his hands drop. "V dont be like that." He started. "Dont say anything! we had a good thing going and you ruined it." I yelled in disgust. "I told you that was before I knew you.-" He glared I didnt falter. "You didnt tell me ANYTHING" I emphasized . "I found out about it and you couldnt even deny it because thats who you are! WHY CANT I JUST BE FREE OF YOU!" My soul dropped in my stomach as he grabbed my arm shaking me once. "Youll never be free of me not even in death Valerie" His voice was low and threatening. I gathered the last of my courage and spat on the floor. "My brother will kill you." I grit my teeth quickly turning away johnny runs in front of me holds my face roughly in his hands and smashes his lips on mine. I wait until hes finished. He slowly lets me go. "Will he ever kiss you like that?" he whispers resting his forehead on mine, "Are you done?" I ask he steps back. "Jesse is my friend, and only my friend. And I never said you could kiss me motherfucker." He grips my arm but ive had enough im done being foolish with this man. I should be with my family. They may not understand my thoughts or feelings but they care about me. I punch him in the nose running as far as my feet will carry me.
Present Time
Im running out of things to procrastinate about. I can feel Owens gave burning a whole into me I dont have to try to keep my eyes away from him as i fix the vest across my chest. "What." I ask finally meeting his gaze. "Your in your head. Get out of it." I realize hes right theres no way i can pull off this heist if im sidetracked with intentions of dipping right afterward. My conversation with Letty caused quit the migraine that night I know Owen is worried about me but he dosnt press me. This is what I need from him. I think back to when we first met, I was working as a waitress at a small coffee shop in London. A big muscular man with white grey hair bumped into me spilling coffee all over me. "Ey whatch were your goin ey?" I grit my teeth resisting the urge to punch him in the nose.My nails are digging into my fist as i battle my demons trying to keep the monster at bay. The monster,the girl i once was. "Im the one with coffee on my clobbers and you expect me to apologize? Shove it prick." He furrows his brows backtracking until were close "What did you say." I smiled laughing. "Your as ignorant as you are tall hopefully next time youll be more respectful" His face is turning red. ""Thats enough Klaus." Both our faces turn to the man seated a table over. His green eyes shone with amusement as he sipped his coffee staring strait at me. "Your not from around here are you?" He ask's. So much for being stealthy. I take a sharp breath and nod once. "Is that a problem?" I ask not really expecting anything more. "Not at all, Valerie" I freeze in my tracks "How do you know my name." I try to glare but my faze feels as frozen as my body. "Your tag". he points to my name tag. "Assuming thats that val stands for" He smirks as my features breath with relief. "Ill be seeing you very soon." He says standing up setting his money down on the table. My tip that day was a crisp 100 dollar bill. Well shit, I thought to myself. What have you gotten yourself into now Valerie.
