Gianni runs a local bar affectionately known to New York's finest who occupy the precinct across from it as the Watering Hole.  When he inherited it from old man Davey, it seemed appropriate to officially register the business as the Watering Hole.  

There's a radio that's always tuned to the police scanner just in case because even on duty cops have to eat.  The Watering Hole's clientele are as choosy as it's owner.

So come have a pint or a cocktail or two.  Just don't expect a wine list.  We only import ales here.  Quench your thirst, drown your woes, but leave your worries at the door.  Don't forget to take them on your way out.  If you should slip and whisper your secrets, don't worry, the bartender and the walls have plenty secrets of their own that no one has discovered yet.  

Welcome to the Watering Hole.  We got drinks, food, and a few things that aren't even on the menu.

They were her sentinels, her saviors, the reason that she refuses to let her past consume her. 𝐆𝐈𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎, a young girl who lost everything when she fell victim to her psychotic mother's actions. Growing up to be fifteen years old in her mothers reckless care, Giulia had been through what most girls her age haven't. From drug runs to police raids, Giulia's mother ruined Giulia's one chance at a normal childhood. One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again. Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, barely even conscious, I heard a familiar, raspy voice that sounded as though they haven't slept. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani mia cara." I felt two hands hold my cheeks and a soft kiss on my forehead. The covers over me shuffled as the familiar person wrapped me in them. (𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐚.) Simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off into a deep sleep. ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚 I downed a shot of tequila, allowing the burning liquid to slide down my throat and settle in my stomach. I deserved to have some fun without boundaries. I poured a second glass and it disappeared as quickly as the first. Then came the third, fourth and fifth. Still I wasn't satisfied. My landlady was a bitch, I was fired and my boyfriend cheated on me. My nerves were shot to hell! My eyes lazily scanned the nightclub as I consecutively downed my sixth shot for the evening. Life's a bitch. 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐨 I sat in the VIP section of the club, a glass of vodka in my hand as I watched the woman several yards away drowning herself in tequila. My lips curled in amusement. The red dress she wore showed a generous amount of cleavage, her ass was ripe and full, begging to be groped. She looked to be eighteen. I wondered what a pretty thing like her was doing in a place like this, drinking like there was no tomorrow. Not that it was any of my business. Women came, got laid and wasted in this nightclub every night. Nothing special to see here. "Muori figlio di puttana." I pulled the trigger on my gun and shot the Mexican in the head after he was caught stealing coke from my warehouse. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the walls and my designer suit. I tucked my gun back in my pocket and left the ally. "He killed a guy!" I shrieked as I turned to run away from there as fast as possible. Just as I was about to run back inside, a large hand clamped around my neck and I was pressed up against a rock solid chest. My jaw was caressed by - a gun!? "Going somewhere piccola?" a deep voice whispered in my ear. "Let me go, you sick twisted bastard!" I growled. "Feisty and a foul mouth. I like it," he chuckled. "You killed someone! I'm calling the cops!" I shouted. "Princess I own the cops," he said stroking my face. "and now I own you. Say goodbye to your old lif

Be careful love:) ~~~~~~ Once you become addicted to something it never goes away. And that's what we are addicted. When addicted you'll do anything to get your next fix and for us that involved fighting, murder, and risking our lives just to see the other breathing. and even when your "sober" you'll always be addicted, that will always be your one true craving. That's exactly what happened too. We would set fire to the world around us and never let a flame touch the other because if we did... ... we'd destroy ourselves in the process.
