A Criminal's Woman (Charley (The Butcher Gang) x Reader)

Ch. 7: Living in the Warehouse

You and Rebecca are now walking down the street with your stuff. Your bags with clothes, toiletries, etc. You with your beloved radio, and so on. As you walk you say, "Good riddance, anyways. I hated that landlord. Asshole." Rebecca says, "You said it. And trust me, the guys will welcome the two of us with open arms." You sigh and you say, "I wish to be in Charley's arms.~" 

You hear this, "Hey, you two gals." You and Rebecca stop to see some middle-aged homeless guy. He's got a laundry cart that's empty. He says, "I see ya's got your hands full there. Kicked out?" Rebecca says, "Yes. Our chump landlord found out about our record and told us we needed to be out by tomorrow." You say, "And he called us floozies, too." 

The man says, "Ah, that's a shame. People like that make me wanna stay homeless, anyhow. Here. Take this cart with ya." You say, "A-are you sure? You might need it for something." He says, "But you two need it more than I do. Go ahead. You's take it. Gals are a big priority in my book." 

Rebecca smirks and says, "Hm... Thank you." She takes it. You say, "We really appreciate it, sir." He says, "Anytime. Besides, I can get another from the ol' laundry place. Can't see ladies carryin' too much stuff in their hands. Take care now, ya hear?" You say, "Goodbye, mister. Thanks again." Rebecca says, "We better get going, ourselves." You and Rebecca walk off.

You now have your bags and stuff in the cart and you say, "Good. Makes it a lot easier for us." Rebecca says, "You're telling me. Those bags get heavy and give me a hand cramp." You say, "Or a backache." Rebecca says, "(Y/N). There's no way you can get much of that. You're twenty for crying out loud." You say, "You're only twenty-seven."

She looks at you and says, "We'll get through with this. With the Butcher Gang, nothing can get to us or stop us. The guys are fearless and dangerous to others. Protective to us. From what I've heard from the guys a while back before they got arrested, it turns out Barley actually raised Charley as his own." 

You say, "He did?" She nods. You say, "What about Edgar?" Rebecca says, "His parents disowned him and Charley and Barley gladly took him in. He was better off." You say, "I see." You both continue your way down the streets with your stuff.

A moment later, you and Rebecca get to the warehouses near the bay. You get to the first one on the left and you get to the door. Rebecca knocks and you both wait. The door opens and there's Edgar. He says, "Rebecca. (Y/N). Hey, ya two." 

You say, "Hi, Edgar." Rebecca says, "Hello, Edgar. We... have a bit of an issue." He says, "Ey. What's with all the stuff?" Rebecca says, "Thing is, Edgar... (Y/N) and I are being kicked out of our apartment. You guys are our only resort." He says, "Ah gee. Your landlord?" You nod. He says, "Sounds like an asshole." You say, "He is one." 

Edgar says, "You two get in here. I'm gonna tell the boss about this." You and your sister head inside and the door shuts. Edgar says, "I'll be back. I'm gettin' Charley." He walks off. You and your sister stand there and wait.

You see a door opening. The door leading to Charley's office. He approaches you guys. You blush and you smile. Rebecca says, "Hey, Charley." Charley says, "Edgar tells me you've been kicked out of your apartment. Is this true?" You say, "Yeah. It is. We had to be out by tomorrow." You look at him. He says, "Ah, that's a tough break for you two." 

He looks at you and Rebecca and he says, "You two stay here." You grin. Rebecca smiles and says, "Much appreciated, Charley. You're the only ones we'll turn to, anyhow." He says, "There's an empty room up the stairs. Last door. You two take that." 

You sigh and you smile. You look at Charley and you say, "I appreciate this, Charley. So much." He smirks and says, "At least I'd have ya around, kid.~" You giggle and you look away. He grins. Rebecca says, "Well. We'll take our things up there. Unpack. Thanks again, Charley." He says, "Anytime, Rebecca." 

Rebecca takes your hand and you look at Charley saying, "Be down in a moment.~" You smile. He sighs and he smiles. You follow your sister and you take your stuff upstairs, leaving the cart behind.

You and Rebecca get in your room and you shut the door. You sigh and you smile saying, "I almost melted right there.~" Rebecca says, "You are definitely getting your chance. The way he sees you. The necklace he stole for you. It's all hinted, (Y/N)." You say, "The new Bonnie and Clyde. A dream come true for me.~" 

Rebecca says, "Go ahead and plug in your radio. I'll get the clothes out and ready." You say, "Can do." You take your radio and you find a spot for it. A small table next to the bed. It's a full-sized bed. No covers on it, yet. But it would do. Besides, you and Rebecca have covers and a couple of pillows of your own. You brought those along.

You set your radio down on the table and you see the outlet nearby. You plug it in and you immediately turn it on. It plays the song Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? by Bing Crosby. You say, "Oh. Here we go. Bing Crosby." You help your sister with putting clothes up and putting the bedsheets and all on the bed. 

You finish that and Rebecca sighs and says, "There. That should do it. For the time being." You say, "Looks fine to me." She says, "I think we should get downstairs now. We've finished unpacking our stuff." You say, "Yeah, okay." You walk to your radio and you turn it off. You and Rebecca walk out of the room to meet up with the others.

***********************************************************

Later on at night, Charley is in his room, which is through a door as you enter his office. He's sitting back on his bed. Cigarette in his mouth. He's in just his white shirt and a pair of underwear. His radio is on and playing the song All I Do is Dream of You by Jan Garber with Fritz Heilbron on vocals.

Charley sighs and says, "Ooh, (Y/N). You do something to me, kid.~" He puffs his cigarette and he exhales the smoke. He grabs the booze bottle next to him and he takes a drink. He says, "I need you close, (Y/N). That pretty face. Your voice. Ooh, everything about you is perfect, doll.~" 

He finishes his cigarette and he puts it out. He finishes his booze and he lays back. He sighs and he says, "I need to feel her touch. Have her close to me. Hear her sweet sounds as I rub my hands up and down that sweet body of hers. Ooh, god. I need you, (Y/N) (L/N).~"
