The Mob Princess

We need to get out of here

Joe and I sat and talked for the next couple of hours finally when I looked up from his eyes I found myself getting lost in the sun had set giving away to the darkness of night. I feel the all to familiar knot start to hitch in my throat and my palms began to sweat as my heart began to race, I was having a panic attack. I started to try to hide the fact that it was happening not wanting to let that vulnerable side show to Joe.

"Brook are you alright"

"Yea why"

"your suddenly pale and your body is shaking"

"ummm Im fine"

"Doesnt look like it"

"how do you figure that"

"Thats part of my job, watching and observing"

" So you were here just watching me"

" I cant help but look at you"

he said in such a low tone it was almost inaudiable.

"what"

"Nothing"

"O...K"

"You sure your ok, you look like something is bothering you"

"Im..Im fine really"

"Alright Im gonna clean up this mess and let Duke out. You wanna pick out a movie maybe after Im done we can watch a movie before bed."

He had this weird look to his eyes I couldnt figure out and there was a softness in his face and voice that started to set my mind at ease some. He went quickly to picking up the chinese takeout containers and soda cans, Duke quick on his heels. I slide of the couch walking over to the shelf that held the DVDs, my eyes began to scan over them. Most of them I had no interest in and then I seen it The Notebook it was my favorite movie, but it makes me wonder how someone like Joe who has nothing but Mafia movies and Action movies randomly has The Notebook. My best guess would be for the random girls I bet he brings home for the night. Joe doesnt seem to be the type of guy who has serious relationships, a fuck for the night maybe but nothing serious.

Joe walked back in a few minutes later,

"find something to watch"

"Yea"

I held up the DVD,

"care to explain this"

"I like the movie"

"sure you do, no guy likes The Notebook"

"I do"

"I can tell you what this is"

"oh really do tell"

"This is that random movie you have for the random girl you have over for the night."

"You think you got it all figured out dont you"

"its kinda obvious. Your not the type of guy it seems like who doesnt do a relationship more the hit it once  and bounce'

"Wow thank you Brooklyn for looking at me like a man whore. For your information I do, do relationships not just a one night fuck. Matter of fact I was in a five year relationship."

"listen Im sorry its just you dont seem the type"

"well your fucking wrong there princess we were together for 5 years."

"Then what happened"

"She died"

I gasped and my hands shot to cover my mouth, my heart sank. The look on his face was enough to bring a tear to my eye.
