Chap 13: Or do they?

"I cheated on Cam." I blurted out.

"YOU DID WHAT?" Mona asked getting up and rushing over to me. Shit! I had to escape those heavy hands of hers but before I could even move away Mona was already on top of me dragging my hair.

"Damn ma, get the fuck up off me." I said grabbing her hands.

"¡Maldito idiota!" She screamed at me. (Fucking idiot)

"¡Lo siento" I shouted back at her. (I'm sorry)

She got off me and started cursing in Spanish.

"No puedes decirle," She said.

"What??" I heard her clearly but I just wanted her to repeat.

"YOU CAN'T TELL HER." She shouted draping my shirt collar.

"Why not?" I asked confused.

"You just shouldn't okay?" She whispered kissing my forehead.

"Okay." I replied.

"I might've done something else too." I whispered.

"¿Què?" She asked with a shocked look on her face.

"Dejé mi arma en la casa de la niña" I blurted out
fast and grabbed a cushion to cover my face.

"MOTHERFUCKER SAY WHAT!!!!!!??" Mona shouted jumping out of my lap.

"I didn't remember to take it up okay!!" I still had the cushion covering my face when I heard footsteps. When I finally decided to move the pillow from my face I was staring down into the barrel of Mona's 92FS Beretta handgun.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Doing what I should've done the day you decided to leave the syndicate." She replied cocking the gun. "You're getting fucking sloppy and you don't even wanna come in for training anymore just to keep your skills up. You don't just fucking leave and you know that."

"Wow best friends huh?" I said chuckling and leaning back into the chair.

"I love you but mi papa y mi familia comes first." She said.

I held onto the barrel of the gun, stood up and placed it firmly up against my chest.

Staring deep into her eyes I said, "shoot me mi amor, I hope papa doesn't get mad when he heard that you killed one of his favorites or you might just flip the story however you want it. It's just a gun and it was just a mistake but pull the trigger if you think that's a good enough reason." I whispered maintaining eye contact.

"PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER MONA" I shouted getting impatient. Her hand started shaking and her eyes were tearing up. The grip I had on the gun was loose so she was easily able to pull up the gun and shoot the wall behind me.

"!Jesús, lo siento!" She said falling to the ground and dropping the gun. I bent down in front of her drying the tears that had begun to fall.

"It's alright mi amor," I said kissing her face. I bent down picking her up walking upstairs towards her room. I placed her in the bed, got in and pulled the covers over us.

She started singing in Spanish, it was the lullaby her aunt taught us. I hummed softly behind her and not too far into the song I started hearing her soft snores. I stayed a little while longer enjoying the comfort but I had to get my gun back and I had to meet up with Cam, we were supposed to be going to a party tonight and Mona was invited but let's see how that goes.

I slowly climbed out of the bed and crept downstairs. I picked up Mona's gun and placed it back under the table. I dragged on my loafers and my jacket and made my way out onto the driveway. Once I got into my Jeep I pulled out my phone to call Liza and she picked up on the first ring.
