Willow's POV
Look. I'm not saying that stepping in like that was my best idea, I mean, Jase is the leader, he's the one who gets to decide on the punishment of his men but who was Smalls to decide on whether Michael lived or died. That was Jase's decision not anyone else's.
As I stormed away from the scene of the verbal downpour that I unleashed on Smalls I could practically feel Jase's eyes burning through the back of my skull, while one half of the crowd picked their drooping mouth's up off the floor the rest of them muttered incoherently.
I walked straight to the bedroom only to be followed by a hobble, which is safe to say was Jase. By the time I made it to the bedroom door Jase had caught up and was now standing over my shoulder, his warm breath moving over my neck sending a shiver down my spine, the hallway was so quiet I could hear his heart beat at the same time as mine.
Was this it? Was this the one line I might have crossed that made him snap? Then he whispered, so low that I leant my back into his chest.
"I know why you did what you did, but don't ever do that again" and without another word he walked away and I felt my heart drop to my stomach. I knew I shouldn't have said anything, this was one of those times where my brain should have filtered what my mouth was going to say but there was a malfunction and instead I found myself in someone else's territory, somewhere I did not have the right to be, blabbering on despite the fact that Jase had already said what needed to be said.
Jase's POV
Willow had left the room and yet I was still in shock, never had I met a girl that was willing to speak up like that. I almost couldn't help but smile. The only issue is that these men needed to know that I am the boss, if I have her doing shit like that then I lose the respect and anarchy ensues.
I follow her down the long corridor towards our bedroom and try to think about how to handle the situation. She needs to know that is not acceptable in this house but shit I was proud.
I stood over her shoulder and whispered "I know why you did what you did, but don't ever do that again." That was enough words spoken.
As I turned to walk away I could hear the dull thud of the bedroom door and the complete silence from downstairs, by the time I got down they were all dispersing, all bar one, Ryan.
"What's up?" I ask, while I attempt to ignore the smug look on his damn face.
"Aside from the fact that your girl just reprimanded us all on behalf of you?" He sniggers.
"We've got an issue, the Hunter boys did some more recon into O'Brian and he's been hanging around some shady guys from the Houdini's. The boys are thinking something's gonna go down this week." He states
I stop mid stride and remember the last time I spoke to O'Brian.
"Man I don't want you doing that shit, it's no good for you. She's no good for you. None of them are good for you." I yelled across the carpark at Matt.
"Do I look like I give a shit, whether you like it or not I'm marrying her and we're gonna curb the fucking market with this new shit. Make millions" He screamed back
He was oblivious to the way Lea was fucking him up, in his eyes she was a Queen who could do no wrong, getting him into messy drug deals with messy people and getting him involved with the wrong fucking crowd.
"Matt, if you do this you're not welcome back, we're fucking through cause she's a sinking ship, you're already going down and you're not taking us when you do." I screamed, grabbing him by the shirt and shaking him.
"Then I guess we're through then" He spat at me and walked away
It wasn't long after that day that his place was raided, the cops found $40,000 worth of cocaine, MDMA and LSD.
Judge sentenced him to 6 years jail. The last I heard he was released early, still hanging with Lea and the Houdini's.
I snap back out of the trance and turn to Ry.
"Tell the Hunter boys to watch him and I want you to be ready, when he makes his move it will be bad and I don't want any collateral damage. Get together a group of our best guys, start planning to move the weapons and ammo we don't need, and move the $200,000 to the safe down below. I don't want any of that here if shit goes south" I say, leaving him in the hallway while I head back up to my office.
I sit down in my chair and go to check my calendar when I see in big bold letters DINNER. 7 AT PUCCINI'S I sigh and shake my head, could this shit get any worse. I call out to Sam who has been my best friend since grade school. I know his sister Katie will be able to help Willow out with a new outfit suitable for dinner, heck she'd probably love it after having to hang out with all us shit heads all day.
"Yeah, what do ya want?" He asks
"You reckon Katie would go up and help Willow with a new outfit. Important dinner tonight"
"Yeah man, no worries. I'll let her know. Are you all good though? What's happening there?"
"Ah fuck man, I don't know yet, I'll let you know after tonight though." I say while he just walks away laughing
I just know that tonight is going to be a fucking disaster.
Willow's POV
I hear a knock on the door, thinking it was Jase I called out to let him know it's open and instead, in walks this gorgeous brunette, wearing beautiful yellow summer dress paired nicely with her white wedge heels. I was in awe until I realised I didn't know her and that I was standing there half naked.
I said hi and she pretty much lunged at me
"Oh my gosh, you are stunning, Jase has made this way to easy. Don't worry, you'll look absolutely stunning for dinner tonight"
"Dinner?" I ask, not knowing exactly what she was referring to since I was 100% planning on eating pizza in bed while watching corny movies purely as a make up since the last time I did I ended up lying on the floor in a pool of my own blood.
"Oh he's hopeless, apparently you are both going out to dinner tonight, so I've been sent to be your shopping buddy, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it except learn to love me. Now, go shower while I steal the snacks off your bed and then we'll go."
"Go go! The more time we spend here the less time we spend shopping!" She screams like a drill sergeant while hopping onto the bed.
On that note I take my queue to leave and head to the bathroom, maybe this will be my chance to make it up to Jase. Maybe this will be a new chance to make some actual friends outside of school.
I guess I'm going to have to make him drool.
As I'm showering I can't help but think about how soon I'll be heading off to college, starting fresh without the people that have spent so long trying to keep me down. I'll finally be free of Luke's grasp but what will that mean for Jase and I? Is that something I should even be thinking about right now. Who knows...
