Married to the Money (Bwwm)

Bad Blood

I woke up around 2:00 in the morning. I patted the spot next to me and noticed Marciello was gone. That wasn't a shocker. I stayed up for a little while and Marciello came in the door, covered in blood. I watched as he went into the bathroom. I heard him turn on the shower. When the shower turned off he came out.

''What happened?'', I asked.

''Got into a fight,'' he said.

''Are you okay?'', I asked worried. I got up and scanned his body for injuries.

''I'm okay, Belle. There's no need to worry,'' he said as he leaned down and kissed me.

''Okay,'' I said. He dried off and slipped on some briefs. He climbed into bed beside me and pulled me toward his chest.

''Why do you have to do this?'' I asked.

''Baby, please I don't want to do this tonight,'' he said.

''Fine, but we will be talking in the morning,'' I said.

''Okay, we'll talk in the morning,'' Marciello sighed. I snuggled up to him and went to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning, Marciello was gone. Bastard! I went downstairs into the kitchen and saw Jackie.

''Where's Marciello?'' I asked.

''Oh he left,'' she said. That butt hole. He was going to get it when he got home.

''Where did he go?'', I asked.

''To the office,'' she said. Oh hell no. He promised we would talk.

''Calm down girl, he got a really important call this morning and he had to hurry down there,'' she said.

''Right. He didn't even say goodbye,'' I said, pouting angrily.

''Oh that's so cute. You wanted to kiss him goodbye,'' she said, smiling.

''I didn't say that. Saying goodbye is just the proper thing to do,'' I said.

''Right, you just miss your man,'' she said.

''Whatever. Since the boys are gone, why don't we have some fun,'' I said.

''Belle you know we can't leave the house,'' she said. Ugh! I had been trapped in this house for a month. A whole fucking month! I wanted to break free.

''Well they aren't here, so they'll never know,'' I said.

''Know what?'', Marciello asked as he came in.

''Can we go out somewhere?'', I asked.

''No,'' he responded.

''But why?'' I whined.

''It's too dangerous,'' he said.

''C'mon. I need some vitamin D. I haven't had sun in a long time,'' I said.

''You don't need anymore sun,'' he said, laughing a little.

''Is that another dark skin joke I hear?'', I asked.

''No, baby,'' he said, laughing. I gave him the finger and walked back upstairs.

''Damn,'' I heard him say. He was such a pervert.

''Wait for me,'' he said. I walked faster. I went into the room and laid back down. What else was there for me to do?

''Stop sulking,'' he said.

''Don't tell me what to do,'' I snapped. He came by the bed and squeezed my ass.

''Don't do that, you perv,'' I said as I smacked his hands away.

''Sorry I can't help it. It's like two soccer balls,'' he said as he smacked my ass.

''Marciello Romero Romani if you touch my ass one more time. I'm going to beat the shit out of you,'' I said.

''You sound like my mother,'' he said.

''You touched your mother's ass?'', I asked, raising one of my eyebrows.

''I was always fascinated with butts,'' he said, shrugging.

''When are we going to go on a date?'', I asked.

''How about we have a date right now,'' he said. My eyes lit up, I jumped out the bed.

''Let's stay in bed and cuddle while we watch some movies,'' he said.

''We always do that. Why can't we do stuff other couples do,'' I said.

''Because other couples aren't constantly being threatened by other gangs and the police,'' he said.

''Well if you weren't in the mafia, we wouldn't have to worry about that,'' I said.

''Well I am and there's nothing we can do about it,'' he said.

''You could get out,'' I said.

''I'm the leader, I can't just drop out and abandon my gang like that,'' he said.

''You could pass it down to your brother, you know how bad he wants it,'' I said.

''I don't want him involved in this stuff,'' he said.

''Oh, but you'll let me be here. Let me go,'' I said.

''I can't do that. I want you here with me, no one else. I know I'm being selfish and I'm sorry,'' he said.

''Do you ever think how I feel. Being stuck here all day, isolated from the world,'' I said. He didn't say anything.

''Do you ever think about the future. What if I get pregnant? What if we have kids? Do you really want them to grow up in this lifestyle?'', I asked. His jaw clenched.

''We'll think about all of that when the time comes. For now let's just think about now and what we could do to make you happy,'' he said, as he grabbed hold of my hand.

''Well I want to be in a safe place. Where we could be together and go out sometimes,'' I said.

''Well I'll work on it, but for now let's try to make the best out of this situation,'' he said as he kissed me sweetly. He pulled away and kissed my nose.

''Fine. What movie do you want to watch?'', I asked.

''How about....White Chicks?'', he said.

''Sure and go make some popcorn,'' I said.

''So demanding,'' he chuckled as he left out to make my popcorn. He came back in with the popcorn and put on the movie. He stripped down to his boxers and laid down next to me. I wanted to be with Marciello despite if I would admit it to Jackie or not, but I didn't want to live this lifestyle. Constantly running, gunshots, having people follow you, it was all to stressful. I just wanted to be able to relax and not have to deal with it. I really needed some things to change because I didn't know how long I could live with this.
