Black Widow - Part 2

23.

"Oh my God, what happened to you?" Mira asked when I walked in the hospitality the next day.

"I fell" I shrugged. She raised her eyebrow. "You fell against a door or something?"

I chuckled. "Yeah well, Alara pushed me against it"

But luckily, she didn't break my nose after all. She didn't hit me hard enough.

The wound on my shoulder on the other hand was definitely killing me. 

Unfortunately for her, not literally.

"Really? Did she do this to you?" Her mouth fell open a little. "Oh when I see her, I will-"

"Don't worry, I don't think she will be here again"

She better stayed away.

Liam, Oscar's PR manager walked up to us and patted my shoulder. "Hi are you ready to-"

He looked at me, frowned and took a step back. "What happened to you?"

"She walked into a door" Mira laughed.

Liam frowned even more now, looked at my cheek, my nose and my neck. "I didn't know Lando was that kinky"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

He pointed at my neck. "Did he choke you during sex or something?"

I put my hands around my neck, zipping my jacket all the way up, which didn't help much.

"Hey, I'm not judging, just didn't see it in him" he laughed, nudging me a little and pushed me with his shoulder.

I tried to ignore that he was pushing me against my shoulder, my bad shoulder. They definitely didn't need to know that she stabbed me.

"Hello baby" Lando walked up to us, put his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek.

"Speaking of the devil" Mira raised her eyebrows. "Am I the devil?" Lando looked at her.

"I think you were quite the opposite for her last night" Liam laughed, nodded at me.

Lando looked at me, still a frown on his face.

"Let's go Mira, I think they want a little privacy" Liam was still laughing as he put his arm around her shoulders and walked away with her.

I like them, they were funny and could get me in a good mood immediately, and after Shirley turned out to be a snake, it was nice to have other people around me.

"What are they talking about?" Lando whispered in my ear before placing a little kiss on my cheek.

"They think we had incredibly good sex last night" I whispered back. "And that you choked me"

I pointed at my neck, which probably had marks of Alara her little filthy hands on them.

He looked at my neck, stood in front if me and put the collar of my jacket higher.

"Did you find out who called the cops that night?" He changed the subject. "Not yet, I don't recognize the number and they probably bought a burner phone anyways"

But I was pretty sure it was Shirley.

"And those death threats?"

I shrugged. "Didn't receive any notes anymore but for some reason, I think he's getting close"

Lando licked the corners of his lips quickly. "I asked for the footage of the security cameras in that bar from that night"

"You what?" I pulled him with me to his driver's room. This wasn't a conversation I was gonna have in a fully packed hospitality.

"Someone spiked your drink that night, someone in that bar" he said, putting his back against the door. "And I need to know who"

"Did they-" I stopped, because I wanted to have hope a little while longer. "Did they give you the footage?"

"I had to pay them off" he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "But they will send it to me tonight"

"Fuck, you're amazing" I wrapped my arms around his neck, my lips against his.

He was the Clyde to my Bonnie.
