Justin's POV

"When's his funeral going to take place?" I ask Josh sitting down next to a wounded Harley. After the event the other night it had turned out a few people were injured, Harley was in hospital for the night after being shot in the chest. 

Camilla had to have her arm stitched after a gash at her flesh with a knife, Josh had been badly beaten.

"The funeral should take place in a week after they've had the post-mortem on his body" Josh tells me grabbing the TV remote for Harley who was desperately trying to reach for it without hurting himself more.

He hands it to Harley who sends him a quick thank you and a smile.

I sigh to myself rubbing my face with my hands, Christopher who was a friend of ours and part of my gang had died that night fighting for us, fighting for me. None of us were complaining as we knew wounds could come with the job, we also knew worst case scenario we could end up dying.

"How's your little lady doing? Asked her to be your girl yet?" Harley breathes out through the pain in his chest scanning through the channels on the television.

I scratch my neck nervously reaching for my can of coke on the table. "I uh..I haven't even asked her on a date yet.." I whisper out quietly embarrassed that I hadn't even made a move yet. Harley and Josh stared at me with wide eyes before Harley burst out laughing.

"Dude don't make me laugh, it hurts" Harley wheezed out spluttering on his laughs trying to make himself calm down.

"You haven't even asked her on a date?" Josh raises his eyebrow at me taking a sip from his beer shaking his head at me in disapproval.

"No I haven't I've-"

"Dude shut up whining, get your ass home and stop being a pussy and take the girl out before someone else does" Harley warns me poking the remote in my face not even giving me a chance to argue back.

I exit the elevator into my apartment making my way into the marble foyer, I place my keys down on the table in front of me jogging into the living room. Rose, Riley and Lily are sat on the sofa playing Mario Kart screaming at each other about who's cheating or whose first or second. 

I laugh quietly to myself slipping my jacket off and placing it over one of the dining room table chairs.

I slowly saunter over to Rose who has the cutest look of concentration on her face the tip of her tongue poking out from her plump lips. I lick my lips before leaning down in front of her and capturing her lips on mine, she gasps slightly before relaxing and letting her lips sink into mine.

My large hand finds her cheek as my lips move against her cherry chapstick tasting ones, she knows how much I love it when she wears flavoured chapstick. 

In the background I hear the end of the race on the TV and Riley and Lily cheering together. Rose suddenly pulls away leaving my lips lonely before looking at the TV screen.

"That's so not fair, I was first before Justin distracted me" Rose pouts to herself before looking up at me, I smirk down at her sending her a wink. "You did that on purpose"

"Me? Never!" I clutch my chest with my hand pretending to act hurt, Rose scoffs putting down her Mario Kart wheel.

"Did you have a nice time with the boys?" she asks me as I sit my tired body down next to hers slinging my arm round her shoulders leaving a kiss on her cheek.
