Alfie's POV
"Fucking pricks!" I turned my head to the door, seeing Mar storm in clearly annoyed I laughed at her, abandoning my work at the table and turning around to face her "I fucking hate them! Fucking self absorbed childish little fucking dicks!" She screamed annoyed, throwing her coat on the floor and sitting on the end of the bed, taking a breath.
I won't lie, she looked fucking sexy when she was angry. Her hair flailing everywhere, her face flushed, the fire in her eyes.
"Alright dove?" I asked amused She huffed and glared towards me I laughed, getting up and moving over to her, kneeling between her legs "Bad morning?" I chuckled, she sighed "They're just... so frustrating" she said, rubbing her forehead with her palm.
"You give em one fucking job and they go shouting off about fucking bullets" she said annoyed "Alright dove, breathe" I said, she took a deep breathe, looking down at me already tired "Why you helping them anyway? They treat ya like shit and they clearly don't give a fuck whether you're there or not" I said.
She sighed "Because without me there it'd be ten times worse" she chuckled dryly, leaning her forehead against mine. "I don't like you hanging around with them" I told her.
All they did was take advantage, and treat her like she was nothing. And she was everything "I don't 'hang around' with them. I do business with them" she clarified, her dainty hands coming up to grasp my nape "Mm, or... you can tell them to get fucked and they can stay out of our lives?" I suggested She laughed at me, but said nothing.
And I knew she would never agree, she was too loyal to them to abandon them again. So I'd just have to put up with them, no matter how much I hated the fuckers.
I rubbed the outside of her thighs in circles, both of us just taking a moment of silence.
"Your dad rang me" I mumbled out, her head shot up, confused as ever, but she looked adorable with her head tilted and eyes wide "What?" She asked "Ray. He rang me. Wants me at the Marigold hotel tonight" I explained "Why?" She asked, I shrugged, she looked down for a moment, thinking "Well then let's go" she said simply, getting up and grabbing her suitcase.
"Really?" I asked, she nodded, beginning to pack her clothes "We were leaving soon anyway, and I'm not staying around for the shit Johns put us in with Tommy" she said I nodded, helping her pack I couldn't wait to get out of this shithole, back in our house... well her house, I haven't been to mine in months.
When we'd packed all our shit up we were on our way back to London, and I couldn't be more relieved. I hated Birmingham, and everything in it.
