I waited in Raye's apartment while she went about doing her work; her gangster work I assumed. A big burly man with dark hair dressed very stylishly in what resembled 80's clothing was busily interacting with her. He was sheathed in a black jacket and a yellow floral print shirt underneath that was unbuttoned a few rows down revealing his very hairy chest; disgusting by the way. He was draped heavily in jewellery and had a thick drawl whenever he spoke and he smelled of stale cigarettes.

He and Raye were busy discussing something unknown, as the two spoke mostly in Italian. I caught wind of a few things however which led me to believe they were conversing about some guy that owes either of the two money. After I heard that, their conversation was paused for a bit and I was addressed by Raye. She came over to where I sat and pushed her way next to me.

"Hey there, sorry that I've been busy since you got here, I know you must be a little upset."

"No, I'm not I'm just waiting for us to be alone," I replied and she grinned, slanting her head as she looked at me. I could never get enough of gawking at her, she was that beautiful. She was simple in the way she carried herself: she rarely wore any accessories and if she did it wasn't anything expensive and it was what I noticed over time of being around her. She loved simplicity, she wasn't distracted by anything.

She gazed at me with her honeyed pools for some time before she leaned in and placed a kiss on my forehead which made me close my eyes for a few seconds to let the warm feeling consume me. "I can't ever repay you for how patient you've been with me, and I can never stop praising you for it."

"It's nothing, I swear."

"Oh but it is, it's a lot of things to me actually. Most people wouldn't be this happy sitting here waiting for me, they'd get frustrated and want to leave while you just wait, happily."

"It's because I know that at the end of the wait I get to be with you," I uttered and she studied me carefully, running her eyes along my lips and back up to mine.

"I may have to go away from you, just for a little tonight but I'll be back before you know it. Will you stay here while I'm gone?" She asked and I grimaced slightly.

"How long will you be gone for?"

"Not long, maybe about an hour,"

"Okay, then sure I'll wait,"

"There would be nothing for you to worry about when I'm gone because I'll have some of the guys come hang around my apartment, so you'll be safe."

Her words awoken a realization. The thought of her having her guys guard me was a serious deal. It clicked just then at how potentially dangerous being in this building with her was, but the moment she kissed me I seem to forget all of it. Her tongue flicked against mine and when I tasted the sweetness of her and I melted.

"I promise I'll be back soon," she muttered, pecking me on the cheeks before moving away from the couch. The man that was talking to her a while ago eyed me intensely while she made her way back to him. They shared a few words again in Italian and then left; the man's voice boomed on the way out. Raye gave me one final glance when she was at the door, and it held so much gentleness. Then it was gone when she locked the wooden surface.

I sat alone in Raye's apartment for almost an hour doing nothing but watch TV and wait for her, my girlfriend to come back from living her life of crimes. It was crazy how fast life could change I thought. One minute you're living a particular way, then the next you're doing some shit that could get you arrested for being guilty by association. I knew if my family ever found out about my relationship with her they would probably want me to end it, not only would I be putting myself at risk but also them. Somehow I just couldn't imagine separating from Raye now, not when I've been hooked.
