My Father Part 2

I woke up and looked around to see I was in the infirmary. I groaned and someone took my hands surprising me "Vince" I asked beyond confused "Hey how do you feel the doctor said your lucky" I snorted "Yea tell that to the burning feeling in my abdomen" he laughed and sighed "For a moment there I thought you weren't gonna pull through" he said even though I saw through to the concern in his eyes. He was actually worried about me, he genuinely cared "I'm glad you killed them motherfuckers before I had the chance I'd have tortured them" I didn't question it now that I knew the extent of his affection for me there was no question he'd have been cruel. It was sweet but unfortunate because I didn't return the feelings. I shook the thoughts off and sat up ignoring the burning. Vince grabbed my arm and pushed me back down "Don't move around so much you'll tear your stitches" I groaned "Danny promised he'd tell me what I need to know" the door opened and Danny walked in "Good thing I'm here to appease you" I narrowed my eyes at him unsure if he'd ask me to do something else. Vince got up and left and Danny sat in the seat he was just in "Your the spawn of Edward Butera and he is the biggest mob boss in the country we've had you for years cause it's the only way he'll share his assets with us... We promise your alive send photos of you from time to time and we get our work done but you've made our job a struggle lately all this running off and dating Christopher I'm sure if Daddy knew he'd never approve" I soaked in the information ignoring the dig "He's not my father I don't have one never have and Christopher is dead so leave him out of this or any other conversation and that goes for everyone" I said knowing he'd relay the message to that of his gang. They have my cooperation but that only goes so far. Now that I'm trained it's gonna take me now to intimidate me. He smiled and walked to the door tapping my knee. He turned before he touched the door "Vince was here the whole time during your recovery and how contacts are vital so your next assignment get closer to him a reward and incentive to stay" I inwardly groaned I'm not dating him "I'm not doing that" he chuckled "You will if you want to be a real member and see your dad again otherwise you know too much and we gotta get rid of you" my options limited and I have to do everything I can if I'm too protect Shay. I guess this is the beginning of the next phase. Phase two. Vince came back in and sat in the chair "Do you remember when you first got here" I thought about it and sighed knowing what he was talking about. For Shay. I nodded "You told me you'd never seen anyone more beautiful" I whispered recalling that and me pushing him away. Vince is still an asshole "That still stands to this day I have never seen anyone who matches up to you" I sighed "Why do you try to get at me so much? Why am I your main focus" he laughed "Do you ever listen to a word I say sweetheart.... Will I never get tired of saying it so I'll say it again... You're beautiful, smart, determined, I don't care how much of a badass you suddenly change into you'll always be that kind hearted person and to be honest that's what I admire most about that even though everything you've been through has been enough to change you and make you cold you've never changed" he went off into thought and I was struck silent. That was surprisingly not a douchebag thing to say. I guess if you think hard on it Vince is pretty cool "Thank you but Vince..." he cut me off "I don't get it anymore what's holding you back Chris is dead now and I know that's why you wouldn't get with me because you still loved him but I thought after all that it would over with" he's sharper than I give him credit for. I look down and sigh "I don't know I just don't wanna be another notch on your belt" I say honestly and adding a touch vulnerability in my voice so he doesn't question it. He grabbed and leaned in "I promise you'll be the only woman I won't mess this up with you" he said honestly I know he's not lying and I really just don't have anything to lose so why not? I leaned in a planted a small kiss on his lips ignoring the weird feelings in my stomach when I did. We pulled away and I bit my lip. I pulled him in for another him moving out his chair and on the hospital bed. He licked my lip and I opened my mouth slightly our tongues fighting for dominance. I moaned a little bit it turned into a wince and he got up sitting back down. I smiled a little as kissed my cheek and walked to the door "Get better then come see me I got something for you" I fake blushed and he left making me sigh. The shit I do for people. It took a minute but I finally stopped feeling pain every time I moved. There was a scar but nothing amazing compared to the others I have. I walked to Danny's office opening the door to see him talking to his wife Angelica "Angie baby look I have shit to do ok can we talk about this bullshit later" she huffed and stomped out giving me a look when I reached for my gun her face straightening. Bitch. I sat down and he groaned "She's annoying as fuck but I gotta deal with her she's a good piece of ass" I didn't say anything or make any face "I've done everything even entertained the idea of Vince now tell me everything I should know about this gang" he smiled "Alright so we have 3 major houses each one responsible for something... The one on Hangman and Pollock holds our guns and the one on Polovo and Henry Boulevard that's the one where we handle our international and inter-gang affairs finally the last one is the one where most of our fighters are and our drugs and our prostitutes" I frowned against having any to begin with. He finished telling me the basic layout of our territory and I was fairly impressed. The house of drugs is pretty big a fucking mansion and everyone in that place is gonna die. Except for the prostitutes clearly they've been through enough. I left Danny to walk downstairs to see Vince in the kitchen. He hadn't seen me yet so I backed out and headed to the back. The garden is one of my favorite places when I'm not busy I love to come down here. I saw Mike and sat next to him "Get buttercup what's good" I shrugged "Nothing much but I'm finally an official member" he smiled "Eyyyy all that hard work paying off" I laughed and sighed "I'm just hoping and praying for a break that's all" he laughed and put his arm around me. I laid my head on his shoulder and we sat in silence "Looks like you're getting one until Danny needs us again" I laughed "He always needs us" we laughed after that and went back to just bathing in the calm air. Then we heard "Hey there you are whatcha doing out here babygirl" Vince. I rolled my eyes and pulled away from Mike who gave me a sympathetic smile and left me alone with him. I smiled and walked over to him "Hey" he raised an eyebrow at me "Hey what were you two doing" a taste of jealousy in his voice "Talking Mike and I are actually pretty good friends if I recall correctly" he sighed and pulled me into him "Don't let me upset you it doesn't matter Mike is our friend but you I don't know what to call you" I raised an eyebrow at him "How about we go out tonight I asked Danny he said we don't have anything to do today so why don't you spend today with me" I thought about it and instantly hated the idea. Give up my first day off for work "Alright" I said figuring saying no would set us backwards. He's not been his usual annoying self probably just for me and I'd like to keep it that way. He grabbed my hand and we walked together back to the house talking about whatever. I stole a glance at Mike mouthing kill me and only getting him raising his glass to me in return. He knows where my heart lies in a grave next to Liam and Chris, wink wink. Now that I have trust and status I can successfully move around and carry out phase Two.
