Vivian's pov

I looked around the mud room at all of the men's faces and smiled, they didn't look sure of me yet. "Y'all wanna play?" I asked teasingly.

"We're here for your protection miss Taylor." I knew that voice, it was familiar since Ashton had him here all the time. He was always guarding the front door. I don't think the poor man ever slept.

"Trust me, I'm my own protection." I said. I looked around at the plain wall and sighed. "Aren't you guys bored of always looking at the same plain wall? Wouldn't a little pop be nice?"

"Vivian I don't think that's a good idea." The ma with black eyes said.

"Yes, I know, but who asked?"

"Vivian." He said stronger.

"Please," I asked softly. "Just let me." I held eye contact until it made him uncomfortable. "Just let me have some fun."

"My job-"

"Is not to stop me from having some fun." I scolded. I pointed to the front door and then looked back at the man. "Just do your job."

I ran back up the stairs and down the hall, I went into the bedroom. I popped open a drawer and pulled out a pair of leggings, I kept Ashton's T-shirt one and took my hair out of my bun. I slid on my forces and grabbed my phone, keys, and wallet.

I ran back downstairs and straight to the front door. "Vivian, where are you going?" The guard asked.

"To target, I'll be right back."

"I'm sending one of my men with you." He said and started rapping on his Apple Watch.

"No." I argued. "No you're not."

"Vivian-"

"You're lucky I don't know your name or else I'd be scolding you too." I pushed past the guard and opened the door. I climbed in my car and started the engine.

Sams pov

I watched as tony drove away in his black car, abby held my hand as I leaned against the door frame of the front door. I waved once more and watched the license plate as it disappeared.

"You're still sad." Abby said softly. I looked down at her and picked her up quickly, making her laugh and touch her stomach.

"I'm okay, baby." I said. I walked inside and kicked the door shut, I walked into the kitchen and sat her on the counter. "What do you want to do?"

"We can play Gold Fish. I might be missing some of my cards though." She jumped off the counter and ran into the living room, I heard some shuffling and followed her. She turned from the closet and held up a box of cards.

"What do you want to do later?" I asked.

"Ice cream." She said sitting on the couch. I sat in front of her and smiled. "Oh, and can we do bubble bath? Mommy usually lets me, but she isn't coming home tonight."

"Why not?" I asked. My heartbeat sped up and I instantly reached for my phone, then I remember I couldn't call tony.

"She has doctor things."

"Am I watching you tonight?" I asked.

"Is Antonio not coming home?" She asked softly, she looked up at me with sad eyes.

"Bubby has something important to do, baby." She pouted her lip and looked down at the deck of cards. "Hey, it's okay though, because we're going to have a girls night, okay? Disney movies, hot chocolate, fudge, and whatever else you want to do."
