Good Girls Shouldn't Piss Off Bad Girls

You Promised

Rose POV...

I sit glaring at the two bastards and my half bastard of a sister, my son in my arms.

Me:Why are you here exactly? Especially you.

I watch them fidget as I don't blink. I get up and put cj in his play pen and look at them.

Me:You might want to start talking before I get mad. Why are you here? This is why I don't tell people my address Ruby...

Ruby:We need your help...

Me:With?

Annie:We have another gang friend that's not as effective as the last one...

Me:And?

Beth:We need you to come with us to get him out and find out where our money is...

Me:And why would I help you?

Annie:I mean, Rio isn't dead so maybe all can be forgiven? I mean you did technically get her back.

I turn my glare to her and walk closer to them all three leaning farther into the couch.

Me: Technically getting her back would be killing her. Speaking of killing her, why are you still alive?

I see her go paler and I squint at her trying to figure out a reason as to why she's not dog food yet.

Me:What lie did you tell him Elizabeth?

She looks at me then looks down.

Me:Alright, get out...

Ruby:What do you mean? She didn't lie to him he just hasn't been around.

Me:Chris leaves no pillow unfluffed when cleaning you really think this man is about to let a bitch who shot him three times get away with that? Either she's lying, she has something he wants, or he's prolonging it. Tell me. Which one. It is. Elizabeth...

She stares me in the eye, but it's not the soul searching or persuasive kind it's the kind you do when you want someone to believe that you are listening to them. Surface attention.

Beth:I guess he's prolonging it.

I nod. Lying bitch, I sit back down and take a deep breath.

Me:What do you need me to do?

Annie:maybe help us get more fake cash?

Me:I'm not in that business... I'm more legal if you will. I deal with real medical illegals, police dealings, company Gangster type shit. Rio is the Bronx, I'm the upper east side. I'm the one who will get you 23 kilos of unfiltered coke that will make you O. D off a pinky nail amount... In other words? All my money is real I don't do fakes.

Ruby:When...How...

Me:Them streets easy to maneuver when you smart enough. I got a connect I'll see what he can do. Now you two? Get the fuck out before my husband think I'm trying to help you with whatever.

Beth and Annie jump up and leave out, I grab cj and look at ruby.

Me:You-

Ruby:Strawberries...

Me:Don't you-

Ruby:Strawberries!

Me:Are you real--

Ruby:Straw- berries.

She gets up kissing my forehead and cj's before leaving. I roll my eyes and huff.
