What is Love?

Name Calling

VANESSA

Ugh. Why the hell is my head pounding like a ton of bricks went straight through it? I sit up from my bed and widen my eyes realizing why I feel this shity. I have to warn Diana!! But as I'm fully waking up and analyze my situation I realize that I'm, you guessed it...handcuffed.

"Fuck." After I cuss I hear a gasp. By sheer impulse I roll my eyes.

"I don't believe I've ever heard you cuss when you're sober. It's quite exhilarating to see, all I need now is some food to munch on and to lock you in a room with your brother and Alonzo." Says Derek while chewing on a donut. How does he eat so much?! I glare at him, hopefully that will get him to leave me the hell alone; better yet have him uncuff me from my bedpost.

"Why are you here?"

"Well no thanks to you I'm the babysitter. In fact, until your boyfriend can man up and put his job before you, I'm going to be your new personal bodyguard." He says this while smirking at me.

"A, I don't have a boyfriend. B, if your the babysitter shouldn't you be downstairs with the baby? And C, you are soo not hot enough let alone smart enough to be a bodyguard even mine."

"Bitch"

"Bastard"

"Whore"

"Dick"

"Slut"

"Pussy"

"Meanie"

"Fucktard"

"Crazy pregnant lady." I go silent. I look at him and burst out crying.

"Damn, I'm sorry. If I knew you'd start balling your eyes out I would never have said it. Please don't cry! Here do you want a donut? Maybe that will help you feel better." He comes over to me and starts to hug me tightly, but in a friendly way. Then offering me his half eaten donut.

"How did you find out? I've been trying to keep it a secret." I look up at him and as expected his eyes hold pity. I don't need pity!

"Your brother had a doctor come and check how you were doing. He wanted to make sure he hadn't pumped you with too much of the drug. As the doctor was checking your vitamins and scanning to see if you were all right he took some of your blood in for testing. He came back later telling me you were pregnant. I told him he could take his leave and that I would tell Nicholas about it."

"Please don't tell Nicky! Him and dad are both gonna kill me! To them I'm still a little princess needing protection!" Derek chuckles at me and I look at him like he's gone crazy.

"Girl, your crazy if you think they'd kill you. If anything they would kill Alonzo. He is the baby daddy am I right?"

"H-ho-ow d-did you know?"

"Girl, from the moment I saw you punch Al to today begging for him to help you it was pretty easy to figure out. Besides, I know almost everything that goes on in this house."

"Well atleast it's reassuring that if there happened to be a spy here you would know." We both laughed at this because there was no way in hell that there was a spy or would ever be one.

"Can I have my phone? Please, I promise I won't do anything I shouldn't." He looks at me as if to say you can't fool me.

"By that I assume you meant, can I have my phone and the keys to the cuffs while you go to the kitchen and eat all the left over pizza while not giving an ass about me. Yup that's how I'm gonna take that please, make it into a help me fuck shit up kind of plead." I laugh as he says this and does exactly as he just said, only I bet he's gonna be disappointed knowing I already finished that pizza off this morning.

Now how am I supposed to explain all this shit to the chief of pigs daughter!?

DIANA

It's been 7 years. 7 years since seeing my father die. 7 years since my freedom or revenge began. And 7 wonderful years since I was betrothed to that hunk of muscle. Mmm, he tasted like cherries that just ripened on a summers day. Ahhhh! No! Snap out of it! I can not get all girly at this time, no I refuse to even think about how that kiss made my insides quench for more.

*RING* That would be the bell to the bar door. I glance up and realize it's neither him, his friends or my friends. It's my big brother Josh probably coming to check on his little sis. He has always been so sweet to me, annoying but sweet non the less.

"Hey Josh, what brings ya down town to my sweet ole liquor shop?" He wonders over to me and sits at one of the bar stools.

"A stressing night out at work, I still can't seem to catch those good for nothing bastards!" He hits the island with his fist.

"Care to elaborate who these good for nothing bastards are?"

"Nicholas Night and his little gang of miscreants."

"More like little mafia of miscreants. Drink?!" My calm nature quickly went back to mafia queen nature. In other words pissed off and has a twitchy trigger finger. I find three beer bottles and pop the caps off. Why three you ask? Well I've got a couple reasons. 1 being I have 2 hands, and 2 being I need liquid courage of one of them shows up anywhere. And trust me when I say they will show up somewhere.

"Sure, wait you know that he's in the mafia?"

"Dad told me, but that's beside the point. I sure hope you get something soon."

"Me too sis. Hey you hear things that us cops don't, have you ever heard of the Viper?" I have to say I was this close to spitting the beer I had just taken a sip of. Unknown to my brother or anyone for that matter I may or may not be this so called Viper.

"No can't say that I have, why?"

"I think we have some sort of vigilante in our midst." His phone rings shortly after and he answers. "I'll be there in a few."

"Sorry sis I gotta go, but call me if you get information. Oh! I almost forgot! We have a family dinner in a couple days, don't miss it or dad will kill me." With that he rushes out of the door. But unknown to me because I start to wipe down the island, mica slipped through the door without ringing the bell.

*Buzzz*Buzzz*Buzzz* I see my phone ringing so I answer without taking a glance at the callers id.

"Hello?"

"Diana, its me Vanessa."

"What is this about Van, I'm busy. Couldn't you just come to work and tell me what you need to say here?"

"No! In fact I can't leave the house, I'm currently cuffed at the moment. But that doesn't matter, you need to go home. Better yet ask your father for police protection! Nick is coming to get you. You need to get out of there as soon as possible!" I finally look up and see Mica with a dagger in her hand pointed directly at me. Unbeknownst to any of my customers of course.

"Thanks for the info Van, but I think it's a little too late for running. I'll get back to ya soon." I cancel the phone call.

"First we're going to chat and catch up. Than I'm going to decide which of my bosses gets you in the end." Smirking she uses the dagger as a motion to move toward my office. This is going to be a long chat.
