Mafia Parade

4| Returning the favor

I looked at Eric for a moment, who was standing in the middle; I could see the confusion written all over his face.

"Well it's a pretty long story.." I replied " ...but simply put, I finally managed to run away"

"I can clearly see that." James managed to say, still puzzled. "But how-"

Eric cut him off "Can someone fucking tell me what the fuck is happening here?" He questioned furiously, drifting his gaze from me to James.

"Well..." James started telling him the whole story from A to Z. Until I started to feel sleepy.

I have to thank him later for making me look like a superhero.

"So you are not working for that Bastard?" Eric asked me taking a seat again.

"Nope, I'm not, and I've never been" I answered him.

"But that won't stop me from killing you..." He suddenly pulled his gun out "..Who knows? Maybe you are working for someone else?"

"Hey! Put that gun away it's dangerous!" I yelled at him, well guns are dangerous, don't you agree?

The glare he gave me afterwards made me rethink my actions.

Fuck, I shouldn't have yelled.

"And yet, you dare to raise your voice at me?" He pointed the gun at me "You sure took me lightly, didn't you? Don't you know who I am?" He glared at me with his stunning grey-blue eyes.

"Eric?" I answered, and I guess I made him even more upset.

"No! You moron! I'm the boss here, you shouldn't talk back to your boss, you shouldn't raise your voice at your boss, you-"

"Excuse me?! No one is my boss" I cut him off "I'm boss-less —"

"Since you are at my house, I'm your boss-"

"I'd gladly go away, so you won't be called my boss" I cut him off again, "Eric" I added his name with a smirk.

"Do you wanna die?" He said smirking as well. I was at a disadvantage, obviously, he had a gun, and I had nothing.

"Eric, I guess it's enough" this time James spoke," enough with scaring the girl."

"Scaring me? This? Owh please James-" James gave me a weird look, which its translation probably was:

Eric isn't the kind of men to play with so better shut up and let me handle this.

"Eric I'm sure that she isn't working for anyone, I guess that there is no need to go through this" James stated.

"I haven't done anything yet!" he said rising from his chair and putting the gun on the table." She is probably hiding something"

Oh please.

"What could I possibly be hiding?" I fired back.

"Maybe you are working for the Russians, who knows?" He darted back.

I stayed silent for a moment; James started talking to Eric, probably trying to convince him to let me go, which wasn't going well.

"Yes I'm hiding something" I finally said, and they turned to look at me both giving me suspicious looks.

Eric looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm .." I started .

"Well?" He said impatiently with a frown.

"I'm a lesbian" I finally said sternly.

I saw Eric's eyes widen for a fraction of a second, but then he just glared at me.

"Here we go again." I heard James mutter.

"What the hell? Do I look like I give a fuck about your sexual orientation?" Eric asked me totally upset.

"You said that I'm hiding something, so I told you what I was hiding" I answered him calmly, "and I don't give a fuck if you give a fuck about my sexual orientation"

The room fell silent for some time, until James asked Eric if he could untie me.

"She untied herself the moment you stepped into the room" Eric said while giving me a death glare.

"Did she?" James asked.

"Yes I did" I answered him while stretching my arms, and trying to get up from my seat.

"What do you think-"

Before Eric could say another word the door opened, and this time Anna entered with the man who came with Eric.

"She said she wants to come back, I couldn't stop her" the man said apologetically. But honestly his face was creepy.

"Thanks you helped a lot." Eric said with a fake smile.

Anna dashed toward me and hugged me. " I was scared they do something to you" she said.

I laughed lightly at that, " I'm the one who should say so, darling"

"You are into little girls?" Eric asked with a disgusted look.

"Didn't you say that you don't give a fuck about my sexual orientation?" I answered him raising an eyebrow.

"Who did this to you?" Anna asked me slowly moving her hand to touch my lip, which was bruised.

"Oh this..." I change my gaze to Eric who stood beside James, both carefully watching, and Anna looked at Eric and glared at him,"...I just bit my lip, nothing much."

Eric gave me one last glare and then walked out of the room, and the other man followed him, which left me with the room alone with James and Anna.

I soon laid Anna on the bed for that she was tired, and put her head on my lap.

"You made him mad" James told me.

"I know" I answered while playing with Anna's hair, who was falling asleep.

"You should be careful, he isn't the patient type." He stated worriedly, "I will bring you some clothes to change, you look terrible, Emilia" he added.

"I know" I said again.

I could say that I wasn't in the mood to say anything, I was thinking about everything, and mostly what I should do in the near future.

"James" I called out.

"Yes?" He turned to me before stepping out of the room.

"Thanks" I said giving him my best smile.

"No need to thank me, I'm just keeping my promise." He smiled back.
