His Girl

chapter 24

Note: so I've been considering making James a little more mafia type. Hes too nice at the moment so wanting to show his dark side. Next few chapters will be pretty dark. Am also considering writing about Harper's family.

James
We were driving back home and we both couldnt stop smiling, her cause she shot me and me because she called me James. We both had fun today and I wanted to have more days like this. First though I needed to get my revenge, of course I wouldnt harm her but i would get even.
"thanks for today" her voice brings me back to reality and pulls me from my revenge ideas.
"No problem, we should do it again sometimes, if you want. You don't have too" I reply feeling nervous at what her response would be."sure, maybe we could do a different activity" she replies and my smile grew. She wanted to spend time with me. This was great.
"Of course anything you want we will do"

Soon after this conversation we arrived home.  A unfamiliar car was parked in the driveway making me suspicious.  I reached into the dashboard and grab my hand gun. I didnt miss the look of fear on my sweethearts face. I wanted to put it back and hug her telling her it wasnt really but I couldnt. "Go straight inside" I tell her and we get out. I knew staying in the car was safer but I couldn't have her witness what was about to happen.

I approach the car while she goes inside. The man got out as soon as she disappeared. Dylan.

Dylan was from a small gang, he used to be in the mafia. A close friend actually but that all changed after Aria.
"What do you want Dylan" I ask pointing my gun at him. He looks unbothered instead he looked towards the door that Harper had gone through. "shes quite pretty, would be a shame if anything happened to her" he taunted. At this comment I pinned him against his car and held the gun to his forehead. How dare he. "Chill I'm just here to tell you Max wants to see you"  I hated max even more than I hated dylan. "he might take your girl though, hes got a habit of that hasnt he" dylan chuckled at his joke. I backed away leaving Dylan speechless.  "Then I best make sure he knows shes off limits" and with that i shot him in his ribs. "Get the fuck off my property or the next is through your skull" I shout making sure he knew who was in charge here. No one undermines my authority.

"You shot him"

Harper's voice sounded heartbroken. After shooting him I went into the house, Harper appeared. Tears in her eyes. Did she see what happened. I hope not.
"Yes" I tell her fearing her response. Shes obviously  gonna hate me now. Damn it I'm the mafia leader and I'm fearing a little girl's answer.  I'm pathetic.
"He was unarmed though, he didnt hold any threat"
She saw.
"I went into the living room, the curtains were open and he saw you pin him to the car pointing a gun to his forehead. I didn't mean to look " she explains.
"Hes trouble,  I shot him to set an example,  to send a message" I tell her not wanting to continue this conversation any longer. "Surely there must be a nonviolent way if sending a message" she asks. She sidnt get it. Fuck her. I snapped "Do not question me. I shot him, get other it or you will be next" as soon as I said this I saw fear in her eyes. What have I done. The silence was deafening. "You're right, sorry sir" and she walked upstairs.  Probably to her room. I felt guilty.  How could I say that to her. "Harper wait, I'm sorry I shouldnt have said that" I call her but didnt expect her to answer how she did. "No I'm sorry, I shouldnt have said anything. You're in charge here, sir"
Damn it. What the hell have I done.
