Bet On Us 2: Love Me Or Don't

23. The Hate Is Real

I've been in New York for a week now, it's been the best 7 days of my life, although starting to like Teddy is one of them.
It's Sunday, it's currently 7:30am, I haven't slept one wink all night.
It's very lucky I stocked up on energy drinks isn't it?
I couldn't help the fact that Miah had the audacity, to show up at my place, thinking I won't fucking kill her.
It will only be a matter of time when Robert comes looking for her, with the police, I don't care anymore.
I've had enough of keep looking over my shoulder, this is the new me, I'm not changing for no man.
I currently grab an energy drink from my fridge, my pipeline punch, my favourite!
I grab a straw out of my tray cabinet, I put it into the can, as well as, taking a couple of sips.

Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door, I looked through the peephole.
It was Teddy, I thought he said he's staying away from me? Men do change their mind don't they?
I open the door, I let Teddy in, I close the door behind me.
I lock eyes with Teddy, I felt passion burning inside of me, could we actually become a couple?
I don't want to hurt him, he's a lovely man, I just don't want to fuck this up.
Reality snapped back at me, I regained my vision again, I take a deep breath.
"What did you come here for Teddy? Is everything ok?" I ask
Teddy tried to speak, but words were unable to move from his mouth, I've never known a Mafia man to become this speechless.
"Could I take you out for dinner after work Monday?" Teddy asked
OH MY FUCKING GOD!
As much as I wanted to, was this a good idea?
"Do you think that's a good idea? After all, I am your boss" I winked

I could Teddy's cheeks beginning to blush, he smirked, then looked at me.
"Look it don't matter, I think if we've got a chance, we should go for it" Teddy replied
He was right, I was too busy caring about what my dad might think, instead of putting myself first.
"You're right! I would love to go dinner with you, what time?" I ask
I watched him think for a moment, I waited patiently, I never thought I'd be going on a date with an older man.
"Around 8pm, sound good?" Teddy asked
"Yes, sounds good. See you Monday" I reply
Teddy walked out, waving goodbye, he got into his Mercedes.
I've got a date Monday, I'm so excited! I cannot wait.
I'd love to get to know Teddy more, I mean I've known him since I was younger, but I want to know about him now as I'm older.
I dialled Jaxon:
-Dialling-
Jaxon: Hey girl, you ok?
Me: Yes honey, guess what?
Jaxon: What girl?
Me: Guess who is going on a date Monday night?
Jaxon: You girl!
Samuel: You go girl! You deserve this, go for it boo
Me: Thank you boos! You going on any dates?
Jaxon: Yes, I'm taking Samuel somewhere Tuesday.
Me: Awe that's so cute! Have fun both of you, love you honeys.
Jaxon & Samuel: Bye baby girl! Love you honey
-Call Ended-

I'm so grateful for both of them, they've accepted me for who I am, they've stood by my side, since the day I first met them.
I do deserve happiness, but I cannot get distracted by work, even though I will try not too.
Unexpectedly, I heard a knock, I look through the peephole.
It was Psycho, what is he doing here at this time of the morning?
I open the door slowly, frowning at him, what could possibly be this urgent?
"Hi Psycho you okay?" I ask
I let Psycho in, I close the door behind me, I wait patiently until he decides to talk.
"I've got some bad news for you boss" Psycho explained
"What is it Psycho?" I ask
My heart was coming out of my arse right now, what could possibly have gone wrong at 8 in the morning? Couldn't this of waited till Monday?
"Robert has been trying to bomb the penthouse" Psycho cried
He's decided to bomb my dad's fucking penthouse? IS HE TAKING THE FUCKING MORAL HIGH GROUND?!

"Call a meeting today Psycho, this arsehole isn't getting away with this" I cried
Psycho nodded, I think he was expecting me to get a lift from him, I said I'll meet him and the others at the penthouse.
I quickly got dressed, brushed my teeth, slid into something comfy, put my hair into a messy bun.
I grabbed my energy drink, keys, phone, gun.
I closed the door behind me, I unlocked my car, I hopped in, shutting the car door.
I Put my seat belt on, placed my things onto the passenger seat, off I drove to my office.
-30 minutes later-
I parked up, unbuckled my seat belt, grabbed all of my belongings, then got out of the car.
I locked it, whilst running towards the building, I opened the door.
I strode towards the lift, pressed floor 3, DING!
I walked into the office, I placed my things onto the table, I took a deep breath.
Everybody turned up, they all sat down, they all looked half asleep.
"Sorry to bring you all in on a Sunday, it seems that my ex Robert, is planning on bombing the penthouse. I've looked into it, he's definitely working for the Turkish mafia" I said
"Have we got any leads?" I ask

"The Turkish mafia is still in Spain" Zeek cried
We've gotta blow up another warehouse, to grab their attention more, this is the only way.
"Where is there other warehouse located? How far?" I ask
"20 minutes boss" Tia cried
"Tonight, we blow up their warehouse, if anybody see's Robert again, lock him up in the cell" I reply
"How many exits has this warehouse got?" I ask
"3" Tia said
There was 10 of us, we could take them on.
"Tia, Zeek, Poppy, Fabian, Lorenzo, stick together. Keep your eyes peeled, make sure you kill them fuckers! Psycho, Teddy, Larissa, Fred with me. Everybody understand?" I ask
"Yes boss!" they all chant
