No Harm List

Chapter 2. "Cherry"

~Conor~

I had just laid down for a nap when my phone started to ring. I reached over to grab it grumbling. I looked at the caller ID and smiled.

"Yes?"

"Hey how's your day been?"

I smiled at Travis's rough voice, "Good. Just woke up from my power nap. Yours?"

He let out a sigh, "Could be better. My men can't do their fucking jobs right."

I could tell he said it loudly so his "men" could hear his displeasure with them.

"They're lucky I haven't used them for shooting practice yet."

I laughed and moved to the bathroom to run a bath, "Travis. That's not okay."

He let out a groan, "I'm going to skin them alive in the next day or two. I swear."

I laughed at him as I moved to get into the warm water. I put my phone on speaker and sat it on the tallow that was placed on the floor. Apperntly I had made some noise because Travis's voice cut though.

"Where are you? Are you okay? There is a water sound did you get hurt? Do I need to leave work?" His voice got quicker and more worried with each word he said.

I smiled, "I'm fine Trav. I just ran a bath because I just got up."

I could tell his was still worried about me and I kind of found it more sweet then possessive.

"Travis if your so worried why don't you come over and check on me? We can even go on a date afterwards."

I heard the sound of a door closing and then Travis's finally calm voice, "On my way."

There was more jokes and talking until he started talking to someone else, "Cherry. Is it ready? Well get it ready, I don't care if your favor isn't ready yet make it happen quicker. Oh also I'm clocking out, your in charge while I'm gone. No you don't get to know where I'm going. Last I checked I'm the boss not you. Got it? Get it done."

"Who was that?" I was kind of scared he would yell at me for asking he didn't sound happy.

"No one important. I had one of my people do a side job and they thought that it would be okay to fuck around and not get it done."

I sighed, "Still impatient after all these years?"

He laughed, "You have to be in this line of work. If you wait on people they think they can do what ever they want, and we can't have that."

I laughed and looked at my closet. I settled on a white shirt with long sleeves, a tan cardigan, and blue jeans. As soon as I got done with changing I heard my front door open. Oh Travis you are lucky I care about you or I would be mad about you lock picking my door.

I walked to my door way seeing Travis standing there smiling at me.

"Did you really pick my door Trav?"

He shook his head, "I have a key."

I looked confused but then sighed, "Did you get one made?"

He nodded and smiled at me, "I had to make sure I could protect you if need be."

I blushed and walked over to him. He returned my blushing with a smirk and wrapped his arms around me.

"Or maybe I want to sneak in while you were in the shower and sneak a look. Or even better catch you while you were getting-"

I covered his mouth blushing, "I get it."

He pulled me closer burring his face in my hair, "I hate how you do this to me. I've had countless men and women who are more then okay with me using them for my pleasure. But you- you make me feel like I need to please you as well."

I snuggled into his chest a little, "I'm not that special."

I let out a yelp as he grabbed my ass, "Don't lie to your self. No one is a hot as you are when just blushing."

"Now come one we'll be late."

I looked up at him, "For where?"

He smiled, "Just a random place I go all the time. Now come on it's time for us to get going."

I sighed and fallowed him outside of the room smiling as he held my door open for me. I got in my seat and clicked my seat belt into place waiting for Travis to get to his side.

Once he got into his seat he started the car and drove us to this small bakery. I smiled at him as he grabbed my hand and lead me inside the store.

I ordered a blueberry muffin with peach tea asking if they could put some creamer in the tea. The woman was to busy looking at Travis.

I heard Travis let out a growl, "I think he asked you a question ma'am."

He preictally spit out the word ma'am. Really Travis? I know your annoyed but come on. Once the woman nodded Travis ordered black coffee with a chocolate chip cookie. I smiled at him once we found a table.

"What?"

I laughed a little, "I'm just surprised that big bad Travis got a chocolate chip cookie. You don't change do you Trav?"

He looked the other way mumbling something. I loved how I could get away with things that no on else could. He looked back at me and smirked, "And did you? I mean I know I'm still big-"

I blushed and smacked his arm, "Why is everything about sex with you?!"

He smiled showing his white teeth, "Because sex if fun and I'm a fun guy."

I glared at him and shook my head. Soon the door opened and a woman walked in. Travis let out a growl and got up getting in front of me. I didn't even get a good look at her, how in the hell did he know right then and there to do that. Unless he's just being really possessive.

The woman made her way up to us and I smiled when I saw who it was.

"Connie?"

She smiled, "Hey there cakes. This man treating you right?"

Travis let out a growl, "You better have done what I asked or so help me-"

She put a finger to his lips, "I'm your loyalist girl. You want something done you ask me. I'm can be sweet but also bitter. Like a cherry."

He smiled, "I'm well aware how you picked your codename."

She smiled, "It's done. Everything you asked for is complete."

He smiled, "Perfect you may leave."

I held up a hand halting their whole conversation, "Travis. How do you know Connie?"

He smiled, "Connie is in the mob. She goes by Cherry. I've had her checking up on you ever scene I got into the mob business. But once she met you, you two became friends and it became her favorite job."

I looked between them, "Your both lucky I like you guys or I would smack you both in the face and walk out of this shop."

Travis smirked, "I now. But come on you have a surprise waiting or you."
