All of the twins were sent home an it was just some guards and the Cartel

"Will you please just sit down?" I asked

We were in his office I was sitting in a chair the room was pretty dark

"No!" Carter said still pacing around

"Don't raise your voice at me this isn't my fault." I said giving him a look

"Yo nunca dije que era." He said in Spanish

Translation: I never said it was

"You puedo hablar espanol tambien sabas."

Translation: I can speak Spanish too you know

"Bueno, esa es una gran princesa que no suluciona mi problema." He said rolling his eyes

Translation: Well thats great princess but that doesn't fix my problem

"Bueno, entonces lo resolveremos juntos." I responded

Translation: Well then we'll figure it out together

"This is why I love you." He said holding my hands

"Oh so were speaking in English now?" I asked and a smile appeared on his face

"We can go back if you want." He stated

"No thanks I was struggling." I said and he laughed 

"Do you really love me?" I asked

"Of course don't even ask that." he said

"Is this you asking me to be your girlfriend?" I asked

"Something like that." He responded "But you know that can't happen."

"I can keep secrets." I said

Just then our doorbell rang and we ran downstairs it was Liam.

"Uh hey." I said Carter's arm was around me

"You gotta come home." Liam said shaking his head at me with pleading eyes

"I can't.... Exactly." I said

"Why not?" he asked

Carter left us alone at that moment

"Its too complicated to explain." I shrugged stuffing my hands in the sweater I was wearing it was Carter's so it was way too big for me

"Then explain it to me I'm your boyfriend aren't I?" He asked I stayed silent "Aren't I?"

"Uh-" he cut me off "Either stay here or choose me?"

"I choose here." I said in a second

He looked hurt but just left. And never came back.

The Next Day

The next day was crazy security had tripled and Carter would not leave my side which I did not mind at all

But now it was night and I was hungry 

"What do you wanna eat?" Carter asked

"Food." I responded

I was sitting on the counter and he was standing by the stove

"Woah don't burn down the house now." I laughed and he rolled his eyes

"Well I don't see you jumping your ass down from the counter and cooking." he said 

"Well then watch and learn." I said getting down from the counter I attempted to turn on the stove but failed

"What are you doing?" He asked in laughter

"Oh shut up." I said making a face and he turned on the stove for me

"I will cook pasta since you can't even turn on a stove." He said getting a pot and filling it with water and placing it on the stove

I handed him a box of dry pasta and he poured it in

"Now what?" I asked going back to my comfy counter spot

"Well we wait." He said coming closer to me holding my waist

"Do I smell smoke?" I joked and he rolled his eyes

"Ha ha." He responded "I'll have you know I am an amazing cook."

"We'll see." I shrugged

To shut me up he placed his lips onto mine and started kissing me

"Your a whole distraction you know that?" he asked turning off the stove cause the food was done

"Where is the tomato sauce?" I asked

"Thats your job." he said lighting a cigarette

The cigarette was in his mouth and he brought the lighter to it

I took it out of his mouth and put it in mine

"Watch and learn." I said getting a pan and finding some tomato paste this time I actually turned on the stove and poured the tomato paste into the pan 

"Where are the seasonings?" I asked still smoking the cigarette

"Up there." Carter responded he had already lit another cigarette for himself since I had stolen his

I took out some dry parsley flakes, black pepper and salt.

"What the hell kind of bootleg cooking is this?" Jasmine asked walking in with Jackson he was fanning the smoke

"Smoking is bad for you." Jackson said lighting himself a cigarette and I gave him a look 

the hypocrisy.

"I can barely breathe." Jasmine said taking all the cigarettes and trashing them

She then trashed all the food and ordered Chipotle and called it a day

"I can not believe you trashed all of our food like that." I said to her

"But I used my credit card to buy all this food though." She said

"Fair enough." I shrugged

"Yeah I know, Of course." Carter said into the phone he looked a little sad

"Hes fine he always is." Jasmine said

"Oh I wasn't-" she cut me off "I didn't say you were."

"Just be careful you know you can never date." Jasmine said

"He wouldn't want you anyway." Kelly added

"What makes you so sure of that?" I asked with an eyebrow raised

"Well your not even a proper Mafia Princess."

"A what now?" I asked

"Your not in the Mafia or Cartel Society." Jasmine said quietly

"All of the girls in this gang are you however are not." Kelly said

"Of course I have to explain this bullshit cause no one ever will." Meghan sighed 

"Okay so basically if your in the gang or cartel or mafia type of life your usually bonded by family or stuff like tattoos or jackets you know that kind of thing." She began "You are usually born into stuff like that, The Grand Godmother Kaci Knowles and The Grand God Father Jax Knowles are our current Mafia Kings and Queens once they step down you have the chance to be a princess or a prince but to be part of that you have to be a part of the Society and for that to happen you need a tattoo or a jacket or to just be related to Carter or Jax or anyone else in this life."

"Okay wow thats a lot." I said

"Yeah we know." Jasmine, Meghan and Kelly said simultaneously
