Mila

When I came back from my small panic attack in the bathroom Hero was slung over the side of the bed grinning at me. "Harry went to get you some tea" he says as his eyes follow my movements across the room. "Are you scared?" He asked and I shook my head. "Not scared just shocked... I mean I'm engaged to him and well we all just... and I didn't know that you did that for work or that he used to do that..." I say trying to make it all make sense in my head. "He's intelligent and charming he was really good at what he did" Hero says and I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse. "And you want him to help you now? Does that mean he'd move to London?" I ask and Hero furrows his brow. "Mm not move to London we are kind of expanding I have a few guys in the states as well, but Harry would have to come visit London every little bit" he says honestly and I nod my head. "I brought you some tea. It's peppermint. I figured you probably were anxious and I know that makes your stomach hurt and peppermint always soothes it" Harry says as he walks back into our room. "You should probably put clothes on" he says as I look down. I forgot I was ass naked but I'm sure that happens to most people when they find out their fiancé was a criminal. "I'll get you something" he says as he disappears into the closet. "It's not that big of a deal Mila people do this shit all the time and we do it with purpose it's not like random violence" Hero says and I roll my eyes as I take a sip of my tea. "Arms up" Harry says as I sat down the cup sticking my arms up as he shoves one of his hoodies over my body and falls on my upper thigh. "Mila it was just good money and you know childhood wasn't always that easy for me and it was just something we both fell into" he says and I just look at him. "Well... how much more money would you make than you do now" I ask hesitantly. "A lot. A lot more. People pay big money. We have a reputation underground and it shows in our pay" Harry says as Hero just watches me intently. "I think I need to go for a walk or something I need air" I say as I head to the closet and pull on some leggings and tennis shoes before making my way down the stairs with my phone in my hand.
After fifteen minutes of mindlessly driving I arrived at my happy place. Target. So cliche but something about the fluorescent glow of the lights and the sound of people buzzing about made me feel comfortable. I hopped out of the car grabbing my purse and making my way in the store. It had been a rough morning and I decided to treat myself to some Starbucks while I aimlessly wondered around the store. Aimlessly wondering soon turned into shopping. My cart was filling up and my worries were slipping away. How did I never know Harry used to be like that? Why didn't he tell me? It didn't really matter to me right now. Retail therapy seems to have that affect. The only thing on my mind that did bother me was if he would take the offer Hero had for him or not.
