Blood Money - The Sequel

•2•

"Good morning darling" Haz kisses my head.
I roll onto my back, stretching my arms out. I slept rough last night, the dreams continue. Ever since my mum was killed I have very vivid dreams. Dreams of my mum, not in a coma, living her life with me. Dreams of what life would have looked like if the accident hadn't of happened when I was 17. I can't help but mourn the loss of what I never got with her.
"You were tossing and turning all night" Haz says, a concerned look on his face.
"I'm sorry" I apologize.
"You didn't bother me.. I just wish I could help you." He sighs.
"I love you." I say, running my fingers down his warm cheek.
"I love you too."
I get up and out of bed, I have school all day today.
"Wear the cute little Gucci track suit I got you" Haz smiles. "It looks adorable on you."
"Haz people already give me weird looks when I show up in a Lamborghini" I laugh, grabbing a pair of jeans and my Armani hoodie, changing into them.
"Fuck what they think" he shakes his head. "I work hard to spoil my girl. Sucks if they don't like it"
I walk into the bathroom, grabbing my tooth brush and brushing my teeth, then finishing up with my hair and makeup. Haz sits on his phone, texting.
"Who ya talkin to?" I ask, plopping onto the bed when I see I have a little bit of time before I need to leave.
"My mum" he says.
"When will I meet her?" I ask.
Harrison doesn't talk about his family much, or at all for that matter. I'm surprised he's even texting with his mum.
"Don't know.. maybe Christmas" he says, locking his phone.
"So.." I trail off. "You only see her on holidays?"
He gives me a small smile.
"Well aren't you so inquisitive this morning"
"Well you know my family." I say.
"That's not the same" he laughs. "You're going to be late for school."
"I will get my answers." I point my finger at him.
I stand up, slipping on my Gucci slides.
"So you won't wear the tracksuit but you'll wear the slides?" He laughs.
"Not as obnoxious" I shrug, kissing his lips. "See you later"
"Bye baby"
I walk upstairs, grabbing an iced coffee from the kitchen before headed out.
"Oh sorry Scuse' me" a girl says as she bumps into me.
"Who are you?" I ask, the words sounding meaner than I meant. I'm just genuinely curious why some random chick is here.
"I'm here to see Mr. Holland. He's offered me a job" she says.
Long hair, long nails, heels. Ohhhh.
"His office is right down there. Last door" I smile.
"Thank you" she nods.
"I'm Aria." I say.
"I'm Gabby" she introduces herself.
"Nice to meet you. I'm just headed out but I live here so I'll see you around." I say.
"See you" she smiles and I grab my bag, headed out to my beautiful lilac Lambo that Tom got me.
The drive to school is quick, literally. This car drives crazy fast. I park and of course see a guy or two gawking at my baby. I swear ever since Tom and Haz have started buying me nice things people constantly are trying to be my friend now. As if they weren't just being assholes to me a couple months ago.
As I walk to class, I see Ben walking towards me. This boy has been trying and trying, and it's driving me crazy.
"Hey Aria" he smiles.
"Hi Ben" I say, continuing to walk.
"So I was thinking this weekend-" he starts and I stop in my tracks, turning to give him my full attention.
"Ben, how many times do I have to tell you I have a boyfriend?" I question.
"You've known the guy for what? A month? Maybe two?" He asks. "You haven't even spent enough time with him to know if he's a good guy or not."
I raise my brow at him, like he's really one to talk.
"Funny cause I've known you for three years and you didn't want to be seen with me cause I was a stripper." I say.
"It's not my fault you didn't tell me that!" He exclaims and I laugh.
"Why? Wouldn't have gotten involved with me had you known?" I ask and he instantly realized what he said was stupid.
"That's not what I meant." He says.
"I have class." I shake my head, walking off to class.
Jesus Christ I swear that boy just doesn't know when to shut up. I walk into class and take my seat.

"I really don't feel good about Ari being at school alone" I say to Tom, fiddling with the pen in my hand. Aria just started going back to school this week and it's been really stressful for me.
"You really think I've let her go alone?" He laughs.
"What?"
"Mate I've had someone with her all week, she just doesn't know." He says and my mouth drops.
"Are you serious?" I ask.
"Hired personal security, she's never met the guy before so she has no clue." He shrugs.
"Holy shit dude, if she find out she's going to hate you." I say.
"She can hate me all she wants. I'm her brother and I'm going to protect her."
Part of me knows that this would upset Aria, mostly the fact that it's being kept from her, but I'm relieved to know she's okay and that someone's with her. Just because we killed Barrett doesn't mean she's safe, he has a whole mob out there that has no clue what happened to him. It's not a matter of if they find out, it's when.
He signs some papers, handing them to me.
"Can you throw these into the file for Uhh.. hmm what was her name.. Gabby." He says.
I look over the paper work, putting it in the file.
"Hired a new stripper?" I ask.
"Keeps them out of my way" Tom says, referring to all the men. "You're not allowed though."
"Don't need to see her, I've got my own personal stripper" I laugh and he throws his pen at me.
"I'll fuck you up so quick" he warns.
"she sure does know how to dance on my pole" I joke and laugh even harder when I see him stand up.
"That's it you're dead." He says, throwing a punch at my arm, hard enough to hurt.
"Ow!" I back away. "Okay I'm done I'm done!"
"Swear to god I'll make her dump your ass" he shakes his head.
"Don't think that will work out" I shake my head.
"Why not?" He asks.
"She takes my orders a lot better than yours" I say and run before he can even catch me.
"You fucker!" He yells and I laugh loudly.
