Way Too Fast, Way Too Furious

Chapter 10

"Mom, why don't you cook. Since it's my birthday." Ariana said. My eyes went wide, that's something the LAPD never told me. She looked over everyone.
   "Happy Birthday Ariana!" Everyone said at the same time, she smiled and walked over to me and sat on my lap. Everyone stared at us.
   "Got a problem?" I asked and Roman laughed, Tej just grabbed Ramsey's hand and kissed her cheek. Brian and Mia laughed, Dom looked at me and smiled.
   "Brian I actually wanted to talk to you." I said Ariana stood up and allowed me to get up to talk to Brian.
   "What's up." Brian said I looked at him.
   "I can't keep lying to her. I have to tell her I'm a cop." The words hurt to say,
"Cam, don't do this to yourself. Just keep it on the low, she'll never know." He had done this before. When him and Mia first got together, he had to tell her he was a cop and then five years later they saw each other again and ended up together for ever.
"I know. How'd you do it man?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled.
"I was always in trouble with women, so I kept getting new girls ones that kept me stable until I met Mia again." He said. Brian had told my mom, his sister in-law, that he would always find girls that looked like Mia.
"I don't think that'll work for me man. I'm in love with her." I said making him smiled even harder.
"And she loves you. Just tell her and she'll be happy." He said and walked back into the kitchen. Damn it that man!
I decided to head back to the kitchen, when I walked in everyone had stopped talking and Letty sighed.
"We have to head out to Spain. That's where Shaw's men are. And that's where he's headed." She looked serious I nodded and sat down in my seat again, Ariana siting back down on my lap. I continued to eat my breakfast, we all sat in the kitchen and talked about things. Like when Mia's having the baby, and what gender they hope it'll be. Ariana was talking to Roman when my phone went off, she stood up so I answer it. I took it out of the room.
"What the hell do you guys want!?" I said a bit angry. The man I spoke to laugh and handed the phone off to someone else.
"Well Mr. O'Connor, what a pleasant surprise. You seem to be happy today." My boss said, his annoying voice gave me a headache.
"We need to know everything that's been going on there. Where are you guys headed next?" I groaned and didn't want to answer. I just wanted to know who was stealing those car parts back in L.A. And tell Ariana I'm a cop and live happily ever after.
"Spain. We're headed to Spain next." I said and he sighed.
"Mr. O'Connor, you seem to be a traveling man. Remember bring the girl in and you'll get your promotion." He said and then the line clicked off. I turned around to angry to care.
I walked into the kitchen and everyone was talking. Ariana was sitting in my car, she was talking to Tej this time. I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a water, I then walked out of the kitchen and up to our room. I laid down on the bed and screamed into my pillow.
"You know my dad does that." I hear Ariana say. I roll over on my back, she comes and lays down next to me.
"A lot of guys do that. It helps with stress." I say looking up at the ceiling.
"Come on what would a guy like you stress about?" She asked rolling over so that she was on her stomach and facing me.
"First off, his girlfriend who was shot in the shoulder. Two, my dad just got arrested for drinking and driving. Again." The last one was a lie. I had never met my dad. Brian said he was never around like grandpa.
"Oh... Sorry about that." She said looking me in the eye.
"It's okay. I saw it coming."
