Chris held onto my hand as he lead my back to where we had left Ricky and Angelo. The grip he had on my hand was quite thigh and he was all but dragging me as his leg took longer strides with each step then my legs could keep up with. Plus I think he was getting a sense of enjoyment from occasionally making me stumble behind him as I forced myself to keep up.

Walking into the room I could tell the two of them were on edge which made me question how far they thought that could have gone. I knew he would of caused me harm without a second thought about it but from how the two of them were acting it was like they thought he was going to bring my lifeless body back with blood dripping down onto the floor from my slit throat. I would like to think that if that was truly Chris's intent Ricky would of stopped him from taking me.

Ricky jumped up from the table and pulled me into his arms. "Are you okay?" He asked me in a mumble by my ear and kissed the side of my neck gently. I melted into his hold, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him a kiss.

"I wasn't going to hurt him. As I said I showed him what I do. It's nothing different then what he is exposed to from what you're around. Mine just go to a further extent. Plus he seemed to find some amusement in it." Chris said to him and I could hear the eye roll in his voice as he said it. I guess on some level he is right about all of that.

"There is somethings you do that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. I guess some of us have different set of morals though." I heard Ricky mumble under his breath.I don't think he was saying that with the intent from me or anyone else in the room to hear. It seemed to be that he was just thinking out loud. With how quiet the room was though everyone could somewhat pick up on what he had said.

Chris let out a humorless laugh at Ricky's comment, seeming to have seen some lie in his words. "If I remember correctly you've done just as bad, maybe even worse as me. I don't think you should be talking about morals."

"Can we just finish dinner before you two start bickering again?" Angelo ask quietly from where he was sat at the table with a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Ya of course baby, we can do that." Chris told him as he made his way back over to his seat. His demeanor seemed to soften a lot when Angelo spoke his request and he followed along with it without a second thought.

I sat with Angelo in the living room some time after everyone had finished eating. Chris had all but dragged Ricky away, claiming he had a business deal to disuse with him.

I felt kind of uncomfortable when he pulled him away. I was trying to hide how I was feeling though because I felt like it would make me appear weak. I needed Ricky with me here, he just made me feel more relaxed which was something I needed well I was here. You would think with how nervous he was to bring me here he would of kept me close to his side no matter what. I guess he viewed Angelo as harmless. He does seem that way but I don't know if I believe it or not.

I guess now that I was alone with him I could have a conversation on a few things he would of shied away from with Chris around. There was a few things that peaked my interest that I wanted to be able to ask him.

"So why did you really leave your job? I don't mean to pry but you just seemed sort of upset about it when it came up." I asked him in the kindest voice I could mange. Hopefully that would help show him he could talk about it if he wanted to. I think this was the nicest I had let myself sound all night.

He looked down at his hand, toying with them as I watched him process what I asked him. It may of been quite straight forward but he was taking it to a new level.

"I mean when I moved in here with Chris he promised to take care of me. It kind of just made sense to leave my job. He has enough money to take care of the both of us without a worry." He told me with a shurg. His words didn't seem to be his own. It was like this was what he was told to believe and no he was just restating it to me.

"So it was your choice to leave?" I questioned forward, wanting to get him to admit the truth that I was seeing through his words.

"Kind of. Chris and I decided that together." He shrugged his shoulders again as he spoke and something in his body language told me that it was more Chris's idea then his.

Before I could open my mouth to question him further but I was cut off by the door that lead into the room open and Chris and Ricky walked back in. I knew it would be best now to let the topic drop because I wouldn't get any real answer out of Angelo with Chris here. Oh well at least I tried.

Ricky came over to me and helped me up on to my feet and wrap his arm around my waist. "Are you ready to leave now?" He asked me, rubbing his hand up and down my side.

"Ya I am." I told him with a nod. I was holding back any remark I had wanting this night to end somewhere on a good note.

We made our way towards the front door to leave and Chris and Angelo trailed along behind us. Ricky help me put my jacket back on as I slipped my boots back onto my feet. I lent close to him as he got ready to leave and I almost jump out of my skin when I felt some one else arms wrap around me in a gentle hung.

"Get home safe. It was nice meeting you Devin." Angelo told me softly, giving me one more squeeze before pulling away from me.

I smiled at him as he pulled away. "It was nice to meet you too." I told him truthfully. If there was one nice thing I got out of this night it would of been meeting him. He was a sweetheart regardless if he was with someone like Chris.

"What? Do I get no hug goodbye sweetheart?" Chris asked me from behind where Angelo was. I shot him a glare, biting my tongue. I may of seen that he could be a nice person but I still don't really want him to touch me anymore then he already has tonight. I'm not in the mod for this bullshit.

"Looks like someone still doesn't know how to be respectful." He mumble under his breath, not pleased with how I was acting towards him. Obviously he wasn't used to being told no. That wasn't my problem though.

Angelo turned around to face him, lightly stroking his face which seemed to get him to calm down and distract him. I was thankful for that because if he said something else I wouldn't be able to stop myself from saying something back to him.

"Think about that suggestion I gave you." Chris said as he looked up at Ricky and I turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. He was going to have to explain a few things to me when we're out of here. I want to know what that suggestion Chris is talking about. He was going to tell me if he liked to or not.

Ricky stayed silent for a moment, thinking about what to say back to him. I think he was hoping to keep this from me but Chris just shattered that plan for him. I guess he was good for something after all.

"I'll give it a thought but you should already know what my answer is going to be. I think we've been through this enough and the slight change to it doesn't make me think any differently about it." He said that in a way that was so vague that it made me even more curious to what this was all about.

"I mean shouldn't you ask Devin if he would be interested. I did include him in that." Chris said to him with his eyes on me with a smirk, knowing this would get a rise out of me.

I looked over a Ricky with a rise eyebrow and a snarl. I wanted to know what this was about and what it had to do with me.

"I'll talk to him about it but that doesn't change anything." Ricky said back to him as he wrap his arms around my waist.

"Drive safe and I hope to see you again Devin. I really liked getting to meet you." Angelo said softly, tying to break the tension that filled the room. I was thankful for him doing that as it was giving me a way to get us out of here. I would be able to talk to him about this once we were driving.

We said our final goodbye and I gave Angelo a thankful smile. I didn't know if understood where it was coming from but I knew and that was what mattered. He had kept this dinner as civil as it could of got. He was too sweet for any of this, that was my impression of him anyways.

Ricky held me close as we walked down the driveway down to his car in silence. He knew what was coming and that I wouldn't drop this. I think he was preparing what he was going to say to me. I didn't really care how he worded it I just demand the truth out of him. He should know I'm not scared to walk away from him for a moment even if I did come back if he does something that upsets me.
