Daughter of a Gun ➟ Reece Bibby ✔

chapter twenty five

After the ceremony ended we went back to his place. The rest of the gang wasn't very happy about what had just happened, especially not the ex-leader's people. I felt responsible about what happened so I decided that I had to protect Reece at all costs.
  When we arrived he went to the bathroom to take a shower. I wanted to make sure of everything so I guarded the bathroom door while he was in there. Call me overprotective but I couldn't risk anything happening to him. When he finished he got out of the  bathroom only wearing a towel. I couldn't help myself and I dropped my gun. He was so hot I couldn't believe it. I knew I had to get him closer to me. This guy was just too much. Before he could even say anything I dragged him closer to me and kissed him passionately. His hands running down my back gave me goosebumps. My hands going through his hair made him shiver a little and I found it so cute. Someone really enjoyed my touch. "I love you, Freya." he said, pulling his lips away from mine for a second. "I love you too, babe." I said, holding his face in my hand, rubbing my thumb over his cheek. "I should go get dressed." he said. "I mean, you should but you don't have to." I said winking. "Stop it right there!" he said laughing as he went to the bedroom. I wanted to follow him inside but he didn't let me. I understood perfectly and I waited him in the living room. He put on a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants and joined me on the sofa. We ended up watching a movie until I almost fell asleep in his arms. "We should get some sleep." he said trying to wake me up softly. "But first, we should get to the bedroom." he added as I stood up and looked at him. He turned off the TV and we went to the bedroom. I loaded a small gun and put in on the nightstand, just in case. "Is this really necessary?" he asked me. "In case you forgot, half of the gang still wants you dead. It is necessary. I have to protect you, Reece. I can't risk loosing you ever again." I said turning around in bed, now facing him. "You don't have to protect me. I can handle myself." he told me. "Last time I left you by yourself you had glass pieces in your face and a shit ton of explanations to do to the police." I said giggling sarcastically. "Fair enough." he said leaning in closer to me. I couldn't help it and I kissed him again. I put my head on his chest and he put his hand around me holding me as close to him as possible. Was it really real? We're I really sleeping next to him? We're I really cuddled up in his arms? I couldn't believe it. I fell asleep in a nick of time but I could still hear the soft snores that escaped his lips.
Far past midnight I heard noises coming from the kitchen. I took my gun and went to check. I walked slowly closer to where the noises came from. I noticed someone wearing all black looking through the drawers, possibly looking for a knife. Before he could notice my presence I shot him in his left leg. The gunshot was so loud that everything in the house shook a little and it also woken up Reece. He appeared right behind me also holding a small gun. "What's happening here?" he whispered in my ear. "Someone sneaked into your house and I shot him but he jumped out the window before I could do anything. I couldn't even catch a glimpse of his face." I told him. In that exact second tens of gunshots broke down the windows of Reece's house. Thankfully we dropped to the ground in time so we didn't get hurt. I assumed by the number of bullets shot that there were either more people with guns outside - ex-leader's people - or someone with a shotgun which I doubted. We hurried to a safer part of the house and I called Blake and George for backup. George assured me that he was about to bring some of his people with him as well. I rushed into the bedroom and loaded a bigger gun that I had while I was waiting for Blake to come with the heavy artillery. Several other gunshots were heard outside as a sign of our friends' arrival. Blake opened wide the door of the room where we were hiding and handed me a shotgun. "Come on, cousin, we got things to do." he said as he handed a decent gun to Reece as well. "Oh, how I missed gang wars." I said, loading my gun and walking out in front of the boys, leading their way.
