Spike (POV)
"So you think, you can owe the boss $10,000 and still buy that new car over there?" This moron borrowed ten thousand dollars from the boss two months ago, claimed he didn't have it then went and bought a brand new Range Rover. "S-spike, please. I'll get the money ju-"
I rolled my eyes, "I'm so sick of your shit." not long after I planted a bullet between his eyes. "Lets role boys, take the car, boss might like a shiny new toy."
Everyone piles into the van except for me and Nathan. We drive the rover. "Did you call Clover to clean up?" I ask him, while he slides into the driver's seat.
"Yup, why don't you do it sometimes through? I always have to be the one to call in."
"You know why." She's been trying to 'get it' with me since I must be the only guy in the gang that hasn't slept with her. Well me and the boss. Despite his reputation the boss loves his wife and family. I've never even seen him look at another woman lustfully other than his wife. And I find that admirable.
Nathan starts talking about the cars that the boss has while star out the window, momentarily ignoring my friend. And that's when I see him. The most beautiful boy I've ever seen in my life. His dusty brown hair a brushing over his eyes as he gazes longingly into the bakery before shaking his head and continuing his walk. He's not short, but not tall either, maybe around 5'10. His sharp features contrast with the soft look in his eyes. His clothes don't seem to match him and he looks a bit too skinny but still beautiful. "Stop the car." I say forcefully to Nathan who immediately pulls over. "What's wrong?" he asks while looking at me with concern.
I don't say anything as I watch the boy continue his walk to I assume School.
I'm only able to get back my concentration when he rounds the corner. "Dude what's wrong with you?"
"Did you see that boy?"
"The cute one with the old clothes?" I nod in conformation. "Yeah I saw him, he's cute."
My head snaps toward him. He wiggles his eyebrows and chuckles.
"Shut up, let's go."
"I didn't say anything."
"Whatever.'
We make our way back home, well our boss' home. "Spikey!" says the bosses wife, Liz.
"Hey mama Liz, how you been?" I ask while she brings me in fir a hug. Liz has been like a mom to me and my younger sister since our parents are always on 'business trips' for gang. Which is very often. chilling she responds, "I've been good, can you please go call the girls for breakfast?"
"Sure" She plants a big kiss on my cheek as says
"This why you're my favorite." Laughing loudly I climb the stairs to Lucy's room where they usually hang out. Lucy is my best friend. She's adventurous, and fun to hangout with. She doesn't take shit from anyone and that one of the things I love about her. Her sister is the complete opposite of her though. Hailee is more the indoorsy-type and shy, she's really girly. My sister Thalia is the biggest nerd out of the three of them and the youngest. She loves to read everything. I always tease her that soon her brain will get so big that it'll explode, she used to believe me when she was younger.
When I reach the room I don't bother knocking and go straight in. Thalia is on Lucy's desk reading something on her laptop, while Lucy is on her bean-bag playing a game on her phone, and Hailee is on the bed taking a nap. Typical. "Don't you ever knock?" asked Lucy with fake-annoyance without looking up from her phone. She knows I never knock, and I don't plan to start either. "Vey funny." I say back sarcastically. Finally looking up she send me a grin.
"Is food ready?" asks Thalia. I just nod in response.
"Alright we'll be right down after we finish up and wake Hailee." they both say with sweet smiles.Suspicious. They always play pranks.
I give Lucy a look, to which she responds with a nod. We're gonna talk after breakfast on the way to school, since I have to drop her.
I made my way back into the kitchen and helped set the table. As soon as I placed the last fork down the boss came in. Smiling I nodded my head in respect "Good morning." Nathan and I said simultaneously. We're not allowed to call him boss at home since none of the girls new what he did for a living. If you ask Lucy, she's probably tell you that he was a very good business man. Which he was, just not in the type of business she thought. Lizz knows though, but she made it very clear that her 'babies' are not allowed to be informed. That included me too, but then the incident happened and was briefed on all the workings. Now I'm his right-hand man, so if anything happens to him, I'll take over. I don't want it but if I have to I will.
(A/N I can't remember if I gave him name in (WTBBH) but imma rename him. SORRY)
Lucio is actually Italian, which is where Lucy and Hailee get their, dark long hair from. He even has family in America, his brother is the official boss of the 5 families in New York. He large form strides gracefully over to me and engulfs me in a fatherly hug. "Spike! How are you."
"I'm good pa." I've always seen him as a dad to me so I've always addressed him like this, even when working.
"Come è stata questa mattina" "how was this morning" we always talk about business in Italian. its a way of separating it from the family. "Bene, l'idiota ha comprato una macchina nuova di zecca invece di pagare il debito. Quindi mi sono preso cura di lui." "Well, the idiot bought a brand new car instead of paying his debt. So i took care of him."
"E la macchina?" "and the car?'
"Out front" I said, switching back to English.
"Good job, son." He responded, patting my head in approval.
Suddenly sound feet scrambling down the stairs can be herd and a grin makes a way to his face. He's got a soft spot for those three. All the girls come barreling in, Both Luce and Thalia ready to go and snicker, while Hailee tries to sort out the toothpaste in her hair. Shaking my head I motion for them to start eating so we can go.
After dropping off Thalia to the musical side of the school, we drive to the other side. The school in my opinion is quite weird. It's split into 'departments'. So for example, someone who likes doing art will go to the art department, that Hailee's field, so that's where I drop her off. Lucy is taking her English exam today to I'm dropping her off at the English department, but that on the other side of this huge school. So on the way, we talk.
"What did you want to talk about?" she asks, her eyes burning with curiosity.
"I saw someone today. He looks a bit familiar." Her eyes widen in realization.
"Could it be -"
I nod "It was him."
By now she looks like a fish, her mouth opening and closing. She's speechless.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Just as I am going to describe the beautiful being to her, someone is pushed in front of me. Slamming on the brakes of my car, my heart pounds in my chest. Turning to check on Lucy, she holds a hand to her chest, "What the-"
"Watch where you're going Fag!" quickly I turn to see the boy quickly getting up and scrambling onto the side walk on the other end of the road. Realization hits me as I recognize him as the boy from before, but now his hair is disheveled, his clothes worn out clothes are torn. But what really caught my attention was how pale and terrified he looked.
At the sight I can feel my anger rising. I was so focused on him that I didn't notice Lucy observing me. "Is that him?" she asks but didn't need to respond for her to know the answer.
It's him.
