Criminal

Criminal 14: sweetheart...

“What’s their job?” I asked.

My voice filled the living room with silence. Zach was in the fridge, Sweetheart and Devlin in the sofa bed. Zach slowly turns to my direction. His eye brows met. Devlin and sweetheart looked at me.

“What did you ask?” Zach asked.

“I’m asking Sweetheart what’s your job…” I said innocently.

Zach slams the door fridge closing… and looked at me… “Why do you ask?”

“Because I want to know…” I said. Zach glares at sweetheart. Zach shook his head.

“I told you. I’ll tell you everything when I’m ready…” he said in a calm voice.

“And when is that going to happen? I want to know Zach…” I persisted.

He shook his head. “No… go to your room now…”

“but-“

“I said NOW!” he shouted at me. I flinched and stare at him… my face became serious.

“Fine…” I said shrugging and went upstairs… I slammed the door shut- in the room.

“That hurts!” sweetheart said when I poked her fore head when Hara was gone.

“What did you tell her?” asked Devlin to sweetheart.

“Nothing! I was about to say something when you called Me.” she answered and looked at me. “Zach, I think she has to know, you’re making her blind and stupid. Hara wants’ to know everything and you won’t let her? She’s going to feel alone and neglected if you continue hiding... such a poor girl.” She said in a sad tone.

“She knows I’m a criminal Sweetheart.” I said.

“If she knows that she won’t be asking Zach! All she knew you kidnapped her because you want her to be your girlfriend!” she said.

“She knows I have a gun.”

“Even her father has a gun! Everyone has a gun!” she said and gave me a death glare.

“She’s not stupid not to notice that sweet,” I said.

“Yes, she’s not stupid, what if she won’t put it in her mind that you’re a criminal? She doesn’t want to think that you’re a criminal as long as you say that you’re a criminal?” she said in a serious tone.

I froze… what if Hara was doing that? That’s why she keeps asking what his job is?

“She’s waiting for you tell it Zach! She wants to hear it from you. She won’t listen to her mind unless you tell her. You’re the one who is stupid! You kidnapped her? Just because you want her to be your girl? Did it ever cross your mind that you’re using her? Even though she’s happy having you, she is still lonely… because her family is not beside her. You’re killer her.” Sweetheart said in a serious voice.

“Sweetheart, Stop.” Said Devlin.

“You force her to be yours!” she said angry and stood up and went to the door. “She is not a replacement Zach, for the woman you lost. She is not a replacement.”

“You really know her already huh?” I asked sarcastically.

“Because I’m a woman! Remember when I found out Devlin’s secrets? I freaked out! And I don’t want that to happen to her! In fact she’s nineteen! Nineteen Zach! What if she can’t handle the truth? You’re being selfish!”

“It’s none of your business sweet.” I said in a warning voice.

“You are my business Zach! Because I know everything about you! Even that freaking slut Lena!” she shouted. “I warned you that time! But you never listened. You said it’s not my business, so I leave you alone. But I won’t let you make a mistake again Zach.”

“But you’re not my mother.”

“But I’m your mother nephew!” she shouted. “She said I have to keep an eye from you!”

“You don’t have to sweetheart. I’m 21, and I know what am doing.”

She stare at me… we fight with our eyes… signing in disappointment she sat again in the sofa bed.

“Ok you won Zach. But remember if you make a mistake again. I will take her…” she said in a warning voice.

“If that will happen…” I said and look at the stairs.

“Can anyone tell me if the fight is over? Shees! You two are like monster ready to kill each other! It’s messing me. I’m 23, it’s messing my head.”  Devlin said smiling. “By the way, Zach is breakfast ready?”

“Why are you two eating here anyway?”  I said not smiling.

“Because, were in a budget.” He said smiling.’

“Jerk! We just rob a bank last night!” I said in annoyance and continue to cook.

“I want bacon!” Sweetheart said.

“Eggs!” Devlin said. I shook my head.

I was frying eggs and bacon when sweetheart’s phone rang…

“Who is it?” asked devlin to her.

“I don’t know. The number unregistered...” she said then answer the phone.

“Who is this?” she asked. Then 5 second later she froze and slowly looked at me…
