The New Driver (COMPLETE)

Five months until Carter's release/Phoenix pov

The sun is warm on my skin as i sit by the pool. I need to go see some of Carter's buisness partners later, but until then I'm determined to soak up some me time. That kind of time can be hard to have when the cops decide to watch you like a hawk to bust you.

Markham is almost acting like a jealous lover. I can't help but snickering at the thought.

The club I'm meeting the others in is nowhere near as nice as Pearl but still decent enough i suppose.

"Ah, miss Cortez. I hope the journey here wasn't difficult." A man that looks to be in his forties smiles and leads me over to the VIP section. I motion for Roberto and Enrique to stay close just in case.

There is already sitting another man there and a younger one. "Miss Cortez, allow me to introduce myself and my partners. My name is Damian, this is Alex," He motions to the younger guy. "And this is Noah." He motions to the other older man.

"And as you know, my name is Phoenix Cortez. Right now I'm doing all the buisness for Carter while he is in prison." My tone carries a hint of boredom.

"Ah, yes. How is he?"

I shrug. "He's doing well and will be out soon."

"That is good. Now, we have a, proposition. A partnership, you could say." He drones on. "....... It would be beneficial for us all to work together on smuggling goods in. Less chance for the cops to get their hands on it."

For a few seconds i think about it before shaking my head. "My answer is no. If you want another one try taking things up with Carter." I get up to leave and just as I'm about to a heavy hand falls on my shoulder.

"You can't just leave, bitch. We aren't done here yet!"

Third pov

Phoenix glared at him. "Move your hand or i will hurt you."

Alex laughed. "How would you-"

Quick as lightning she had flipped him over straight into a table.

Damian and Noah sat still as they watched her and the two body guards walk away. They had only been sent to see what they could expect from Carter Verone's new girl.

Four months and one week until Carter's release

Jorge laughed. "Chika, you really don't know how to stay out of trouble."

Phoenix smiled. "I never have been good at that."

"Your boyfriend better treat you well. Otherwise I'm pretty sure you could kick his ass."

Three months and two weeks until Carter's release

"Well hello, lover. Coming to visit me again?" Carter's voice was almost a purr.

"You know i am." Phoenix took a seat in her usual chair. "Not long until you get out now. How's prison treating you?"

"It's trating me well. My reputation is quite well known by now, and when it came out that the woman currently jolding my business kicked the ass of one of Braga's men that reputation got even stronger."

Phoenix made a face. "I told him not to touch me. He didn't listen. Didn't know they worked for Braga though, they just said they wanted to start buisness in Miami."

Carter chuckled. "It's only good they know you won't be just a piece of arm candy. Though you do look good.~"

She smirked. "It's too bad your stuck in here for now. I would've loved some quality time~"

"Three months and two weeks left, lover."

Two months left until Carter's release

Phoenix braided her hair to get it out of her face as she worked. By now going to work on the cars was a break in normal work.

Okay guys. This isn't the 1000 words i hoped for but in the next chapter I'm thinking about jumping until Carter is getting out.

Unless you guys want to see/read about Phoenix doing anything specific?

Vote and comment, it keeps me motivated :)
