There was a sigh heard from his lips.
"That's not really what I meant, but fair enough," Jeremy replies.
"Capo, ci lascerai occuparci di quella feccia?" Tanner said.
{Boss, will you let us take care of that scum?}
"So, possiamo tutti, a turno, mostrargli cosa si prova per un uomo adulto a mettergli le mani addosso," Edison replied to Tanner before looking at all of them. They all seem satisfied with his response. As if happy.
{Yes, we can all take turns showing him what it feels like for a grown man to put their hands on him.}
The game finally comes to an end.
"Want to watch a movie?" Edison asks me.
"Anything but football," I teased him.
He chuckles softly, placing the remote in my hand.
"Uh, you want me to hold this while you go to the bathroom?" I question.
"Meredith, does it look like I'm getting up?" Edison questioned.
"No? Oh. Do you want me to pick something? Nah, im fine. I highly doubt all of you would like something I like. It's okay, thank you though." I say trying to hand him the remote.
"Well, here is how I see it. You saw something you didn't like and didn't complain. So we can do the same." Edison reply
"It's seriously fine; appease the masses, not just me," I say, trying to get him to take the remote again softly shoving it in his hand.
"Mer. I guess we will watch nothing until you pick something." Dexter says noticing Edison wasn't going to take the remote.
"Fine, what do you guys like?" I ask, looking at all the men before me.
No responses
"What kind of movies do you guys like?" I ask slightly louder.
"Mer, it doesn't matter what we like; just put something on," Alex says.
I scroll for a minute, picking a zombie movie. I pick it, but I don't play it.
"Is this okay?" I ask them, expecting a response.
When I don't get on. Edison's large hand plays the movie.
Then he takes the remote from my hand and sets it on the table.
It was a zombie comedy.
I pull my legs to my chest, resting my head on my knees as I watch the movie, softly rubbing my legs to keep warm in the freezing room.
All of a sudden, there was a warmth placed over my body. A soft blanket is now over me.
"You looked cold," Dexter says before sitting back down.
I didn't even hear him get up.
"Thank you," I tell him with a smile. Turning my attention back to the movie.
Glancing at their hard faces softens as the movie progresses.
The movie was over everyone except Dexter and Edison had left.
Edison tosses the remote to Dexter softly.
Dexter scrolls, trying to find a movie.
Edison looks at me moving more comfortably with the more available space.
Nervous yet again. I harshly chew on my bottom lip.
I feel a hand lightly brush my face delicately.
Softly tugging my bottom lip, freeing it from my teeth.
I look over at Edison, his face slightly stern.
"You shouldn't do that," he scolded in a whisper.
I look down. Embarrassed.
Then back to him, feeling his intense gaze on my face still.
I turn my gaze to the movie.
"Non mi piace il pensiero che lei stia da sola," Edison says, looking at them and exchanging glances.
{I don't like the thought of her being by herself.}
"Anche dopo che ci saremo sbarazzati di quell'uomo malvagio, se così si può chiamare cos"Dexter says
{Even after we get rid of that evil man, if you can call him that}
I continue to try and focus on the movie, though difficult, as they are deliberately leaving me out of this conversation.
"Non sono sicuro del motivo, ma sono d'accordo che per una volta ha bisogno di qualcuno che si prenda cura di lei," Edison says, looking at them carefully.
{I'm not sure why, but I do agree she needs someone to care for her for once.}
"Non credo che le piacerà," Dexter tells Greyson.
{I don't think she is going to like that.}
"Scommetto che hai ragione," Edison replied.
{I bet you are right. }
The conversation stopped, which I was thankful for; at some point the lights were turned off.
I found myself battling my eyelids to stay awake during the movie.
"Mer," I hear a soft voice say. I rub my eyes at the dim light from the credits flashing on the TV.
I yawn.
Looking at Edison.
"Why don't you go to the bedroom and lie down?" Edison asks.
"Okay, do you think you might be able to take me to my house tomorrow? I want to grab my stuff so my dad doesn't destroy it." I ask him to get up.
"How about tomorrow around lunchtime? My men and I have stuff to do that evening." Edison asks
"Sure, that's fine. Are you sure that you are fine with me staying here for a little bit until I find a place?" I ask him timid
"Mer, it's no rush; you have been through so much. Just take your time." He replied softly, tucking a stand behind my ear.
"Well, I promise to be out of your hair soon. Is everyone coming here after your plans tomorrow evening?" I ask him.
"Meredith, stop talking like that right now; you are being a bother. Yes, more than likely, why?" He asks me
"Well, I can make dinner for everyone if you want," I say
"Well, actually, I was thinking about everyone eating out; you need to rest," Edison replied.
I nod my head and start walking back to the room I was staying in. Opening and shutting the door softly. I lay down on the soft bed. The blankets warm up my body.
Closing my eyes, I felt safe, for once my body still aches and hurts, but not from a fresh beating, which I was thankful for.
