"Baby wake up" I heard someone say.
I'm so tired, I really do not want to open my eyes to see who it is.
"Baby." I heard the voice again.
"hmm" I managed to mumble.
Seriously I don't want to get up. Go away.
"Get up, we need to talk" I recognized his voice…. Braiden
Awe fuck. I knew he would come over and wake me up because I ignored his damn calls.
"Not right now, sleeping" I said as I rolled over away from the direction his voice was coming from.
I'm still pissed at him, and I want to sleep.
"No, wake up" he groaned as he ripped the blankets off of me
You fucking jackass! I didn't think he was that close to the bed.
"Alright, I'm up!" I said very frustrated and still groggy.
I opened up my eyes, sat up looking around. I was in my room. Then I looked over at Braiden. He was standing beside my bed, looking at me. He looks pissed and I think he is wearing the same clothes from yesterday…. I swung my legs over the edge. Ugh I don't want to be awake right now.
Braiden grabbed my hands and helped me stand up. He guided me over to the love chair that was in my room. And I sat down still yawning. He reached for something on the table next to me… COFFEE!!!
Even though I am mad at him, he is the sweetest guy in the world, he always makes me some coffee before he wakes me up! I'm lucky to have him as my cousin.
"Thank you" I said still a little groggy. And he walked over to my bed and started making it for me.
"Your welcome" he replied, still straightening out the blanket on my bed
Ever since we were kids, he has always had this tidiness about him. It doesn't matter where he is, he has to have everything cleaned, and neat. So, I'm use to him making my bed. If he doesn't make, I wont do it.
I walked over to my bed and helped put all the pillows back on the bed. What time is it. I looked at my phone. Its 9am. Ugh. I was only asleep for about 4 hours. Maybe not even.
"Have you slept?" I asked him without looking at him.
"No." He said sitting down on the bed, pulling out his phone to look at it.
Great. Which means he has been trying to call me all night and finally got fed up with not getting in touch with me, so he drove down here from Aurora.
"What time did you get home?" he asked turning his attention to me.
I gave him a weird look, are you fucking kidding me?
"You know what time I got home; I was on the phone with you when I walked in the door. Don't even act like I lied to you" I replied in a cold tone.
He nodded his head yes.
"So where were you last night?" he asked still looking at me.
"Where were you last night Braiden?" I asked him
He laughed and looked at his phone for a moment then looked back at me.
"Diamond Cabaret, then argued with you all the way home. Once you started ignoring all my calls, I came over here, about 630am and sat in that chair until it was time to wake you up." He stated as he pointed at the love chair.
"I went to Tyler's, and to a party with Lex, Megan and Camille." I said, which wasn't a lie. Gemini and the guys picked out some girls for themselves and then we went to Lex's boyfriends house. Megan puked in one of the 4 Runners on the way home. Trey was pissed about that one. I need to tell Uncle Brian, as he has a certain car detailer, he likes to take my vehicles to.
"Where else did you go?" he asked probing for more information
"It doesn't matter. I was safe the entire time." I wasn't lying I really was safe.
"Baby, we don't keep secrets from each other. What has gotten into you?" he finally let out with frustration.
Braiden is right. We typically don't keep secrets from each other. However, the person I keep going to see, we made an agreement to make sure no one knows about us. And I plan to keep up my end of the deal.
"Your right, we don't keep secrets from each other, but we also don't tell each other every single detail either." I said turning to look at him, he is leaning on the edge of my head glaring at me. I turned and walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me.
After a 45-minute hot shower, I finally emerged from the bathroom in a towel. Braiden wasn't in here. I wonder where he went. He doesn't usually give up that easily.
I picked out a dark blue jean mini skirt, a black tube top, and my black stilettos over the knee boots. I quickly got dressed and headed to the bathroom to dry and curl my hair and put my makeup on. About an hour and half later, I decided to go see if Braiden was downstairs in the living room.
As I opened my bedroom door, to the addition, I could hear several voices talking downstairs. Including Braiden's. Then Gemini was standing guard at my door.
"Baby, good morning" he said smiling at me.
He was dressed in the White Tee, you could see the outline of every muscle in his body, black khaki pants, and he was wearing the black chain I had given him. Damn! He is hot!
"Morning Gemini." I said smiling back at him and I closed my bedroom door.
"So here is the deal, I have most of the guys up North handling everything. I have Braiden, Corey, Jackson and Austin on the East side." Bryson stated as he was lighting his cigarette.
I just sat there waiting for him to finish so he could tell me where he wanted me.
"I want you, in the South West Area. It's a decent size area… Braiden has this area from here to here so you will be right next to him starting here in Englewood" he pointed at the map.
"Going all the way down here into the Mountains stopping Just past Conifer, then you will hit everything from Lakewood all the way to Waterton Canyon." He added pointing to the areas on the map.
Holy shit, that is a lot of fucking area to cover. I'm going to need to hit the Hot Box and get more guys.
"Okay I can do that" I said looking up at the map to see Bryson's face.
He had a cold look. I can never tell what this guy is thinking when we talk business. Which is probably why he is more successful than my dad.
"Good, clean house, and start pushing whatever you can." He stated as he got up off the chair he was sitting on.
He walked towards the mini bar and I turned my attention back to the map.
"Good morning gorgeous girl" Bryson said, you could hear the smile in his voice.
I turned to see who he was greeting even though I could guess. Bryson has never been that way with any chic, but everyone says he is different with his daughter. Damn! My jaw hit the floor. Baby was coming down the stairs, wearing a mini skirt, black half shirt, that showed those damn tattoos on her hips, going to her pelvic bone in the front, over the knee boots. Her hair was curled, her makeup was done, but she didn't cake it on like most girls. her eyeliner was a little dark, but I liked it. It really made the color of her eyes stand out. I couldn't stop looking at her, but I made sure she couldn't tell what I was thinking.
"Morning Dad" she said as she hit the last two stairs with Gemini and Traeger following her.
She really did look like a Princess. Gemini and Traeger seem protective over her for only guarding her for 24 hours.
Marcus, Trey and Donnie came out of nowhere. They didn't hover over her, but they all stayed semi close to her. Just watching and waiting. Protecting.
"Baby, you remember DJ?" Bryson said turning to point me out with a wicked smile.
This mother fucker… what are you up too?
Baby looked directly at me. "How could I forget?" she stated in a cold tone
Taking my lead huh….
"Nice to see you again Baby" I said politely with a smile.
I'm just going to be nice, no matter how much attitude she throws at me. Braiden said she didn't know about the offer her dad gave me.
"Nice to see you too DJ" she said not exactly thrilled to carry on a conversation with me, she then headed to the mini bar her father was standing at while smiling and shaking his head.
So, this is how it's going to be.
Just then, Bryson stated. "DJ we are done here" and dismissed me
Perfect timing. I got shit to do.
I said my goodbyes and took my leave.
"Did you have to be mean to him Baby?" I said moving to lean against the back of the love chair
"What goes around, comes around" she replied pulling out a cigarette from her dads pack.
I just literally told him the fucking truth and got him to chill out on her and she does that?
I looked at Bryson, he is trying to hold in his laugh at her comment.
I mean shit if he thinks its funny, they keep treating each other like shit, they will never end up together, so sure go ahead encourage her…
"Not the point" I said turning to her with an intense glare, so she knows I am upset with her.
Nothing. She said absolutely nothing.
"I handled that shit with DJ last night, hence the attitude change. Maybe you could try to give him a chance." I changed my tone as to persuade her.
I don't really know how I feel about Bryson trying to push Baby and DJ together. My intent is not to push them together. But DJ is going to be out here for a while. At the very least they could get along. I don't want to have to kill DJ over Baby. But Ill do it.
"Give him a chance? I'll be okay with not ever seeing him again." She spouted staring at me.
There goes Bryson's ultimate plan. I glanced at him, he just looked at his glass of liquor which was half gone already. I don't think he has slept. He was up when I walked in the door this morning. Although he is wearing different clothes today. A red shirt, blue jeans and his red Jordan's. Guy always has to be looking fresh. But he seems kind of out of it today.
"Baby, that's not nice" I said glancing back at her.
She is acting like a child right now.
I decided to turn my attention to the living room, in the middle of the room, the glass coffee table which had two black suede sofas and a love chair surrounding it, one sofa facing the TV on the wall, Brain and Dad were on the other sofa to the right, closest to the glass patio door. Dad wand Brian were both on their phones texting probably getting things together for tonight. There was an empty love chair to my left which Bryson was sitting in before Baby came downstairs. Brandon, he was standing at the glass doors looking outside. There is a sofa against the wall next to the mini bar. Billy was sitting there just watching us. Blaze was across from Billy in one of the two love chairs in front of the picture window playing with his phone but also listening to us.
"I'm tired Braiden" she gave a bullshit excuse. Maybe. I did wake her up early.
"Okay, well I will apologize to DJ on your behalf and explain to him that I woke you up too early and that's why your bitchy" I said walking over to the mini bar.
She started laughing at me. Good, she knows I don't want to argue with her. I'm tired, I haven't slept, and I just want to go home and take a shower and relax.
"Uncle Brian?" Baby asked gently but loud enough to where he could hear her.
He got up off the couch and walked over to the mini bar.
"Yes?" he asked once he got to the mini bar.
"Megan puked inside the 4 Runner last night, who do you take the cars too?" she asked sweetly
Yeah, right like he is going to let her take the car in.
"I'll handle it, leave the keys with John" he said smiling at her. John is Brian's Head of Security.
Megan puked in her 4 Runner. So, they were at a party… Megan might be in on her little secret. I need to talk to her.
"Spoiled" I retorted jokingly. If it were my car, he would have told me to clean it out myself!
She stuck her tongue out at me.
"You ready?" I finally asked her, I know this is going to start an argument, but it is what it is.
"No, I have other things to do first." She said, the look in her eyes tell me that she doesn't want to fight.
"Well, we can go to my house and I can get changed and then we can go do what you need to do." I explained I wasn't giving her a choice in the matter.
I need to keep her close, I need to train Gemini and the guys. This way no matter what she will always be safe. Maybe in the meantime I can figure out who she is hiding and why?
"Braiden, I" she began but Uncle Brandon interrupted her
"Don't argue with him" he gave her an order. She didn't say anything else.
I looked over at Uncle Bryson, he just stood there, obviously he isn't going to argue for her.
After my Uncle Brandon ordered me not to argue with Braiden about leaving with him, I went upstairs and packed a bag to take to Braiden's. I made sure that my security had done the same. After all, wherever I go they have to go too. It took about 30 minutes to get Braiden's house in Aurora.
"Where do you need to go today?" Braiden asked helping me out of the front seat of my 4 Runner.
I'm trying not to be irritated with him, I know he misses me, I miss him too, but I don't need a babysitter. I have security and they can protect me just fine.
"Camille's. I need to drop off an eight ball to her" I said as stood facing Braiden's house.
It really was more of a mansion than a house. Uncle Brenden built it for Braiden. It was like a cabin, except for about fifty times bigger. It had a deck in the front that went halfway around the house. Inside the house, it was gigantic! It has a huge living room, with a 103 in flat screen curved TV. It has about 3 couches in the living room, all in an angle facing the TV and a huge glass table in the middle. The kitchen is enormous too with granite counter tops. There are 10 bedrooms in the house, but only he, Kenny and Ashton live here. I have my own room here anyways so there will be just enough extra rooms for Gemini and the guys.
"So, we only need to go to Camille's? Braiden asked.
"No, Matt and Joel also need an ounce each." I said as Braiden and Gemini grabbed my bags and suitcases from the car.
"Send Traeger to deal with Camille, Matt and Joel." Braiden said talking to Gemini and myself, a bit more to Gemini though.
I turned to look at the guys, Gemini gave me a look, as if he were unsure to follow the orders, I nodded yes to him.
We walked in the front door "Kenny, show Gemini and the guys to their rooms, and take Babys things to her room please. Gemini you and the guys, make yourselves at home, you will be here awhile" he told them with a smile.
I looked at Braiden, "A while?" I asked confused. The deal was only for a night.
"Yeah, a while. I don't want to argue about it" He said as he turned to walk through the living room and into the backroom.
In the backroom, its more like an enclosed patio area, Braiden has a bar with about 4 pool tables, and some tables with chairs set up. It actually kind of reminds me of an actual bar. Just outside the backroom, is a deck that has seating areas everywhere and a swimming pool. Usually during the summer Braiden throws a ton of parties.
"I don't want to argue either, but I want some answers here" I said following him to the bar in the back room.
He was behind the bar, getting a few glasses and putting ice in them from the cooler that was underneath the bar.
"Did your dad tell you about Timmy and Alan? He asked as he poured some vodka into the glasses and slid one over to me.
I climbed up onto the bar stool and grabbed the glass "Thank you and yes he did" I replied taking a sip.
Typically, I like vodka with some orange juice, but Braiden, he drinks that shit straight. Too much for me, so I need to sip on it.
"He said that Georgia was in the basement" I said taking another small sip.
Braiden leaned in on the bar. And began "Yeah, well Dad and the Uncles are not going to send anyone after Timmy and Alan, I sent my guys looking for them when shit went down and couldn't find them. I flipped Brighton upside down. Still, nothing. So, with that being said, you know they are headed to Washington, and once they reach Tyler, they will report to him on the situation. And whatever he is looking for, he is coming to get himself." Braiden said slamming his drink
He then stood up and added more vodka to his glass.
"So, knowing how impulsive Tyler is, it wont be long before they are on our front doorstep. Shit is probably going to get messy." He said leaning back down onto the bar, so he was eye to eye with me.
Well, I didn't think that was going to be said. I mean I know Tyler is out of his fucking mind, but I never thought in a million years he would just get all his crews and come here. Last I heard he was afraid to even be near my dad. Let alone come up against him on the fact that we just found out he managed to flip two guys that we handled business with and have done so for the past 5 years.
"So, what does that have to do with me staying here for a while?" I asked calmly looking into my cousins eyes.
"There is a war coming, you have men to protect you, but they are fresh out of the Box. They don't have the experience." He said taking another drink.
At that point Kenny, Gemini, Traeger and Ashton walked in and sat at a table near us.
"Braiden, dad would not have let me bring them home unless he knew they were good." I started out but he interrupted me.
"I'm not saying that they are not good, what I am saying is that they need more experience, and that life is different out here compare to inside the Box. When you're in the box, you don't have someone you have to worry about. Someone to keep an eye on. You only worry about yourself and you make sure you're the best. Out here, these guys have you to worry about. And it's a whole other ball game when you got bullets flying past your head." He explained without taking a breath
"I told your dad to let you choose some guys, then give them to me and I would give you my best guys, this way you had the protection you needed while Frankie and Bobby went to Florida to handle some shit, and I would make damn sure these guys knew exactly what it takes to protect someone and then when they were ready, I would give them to you and get my guys back" he paused
I didn't know that he and dad had talked about this. Not only that I thought that this kind of training was provided inside the Box. Braiden would know though cause he spent 3 years in there. Only came home on the weekends to see me. It was a rough three years for me. I missed him so much.
"Not only that, Gemini and the guys, they need to know the ins and outs here. Who they should be watching for, who to trust, who not to trust? They need to make connections with all of the crews so that way they can communicate with us, so that way when shit is going down, in a certain area, which happens more often that you think Bryia, they can keep you out of that area, or if your in that area they can get you out." He finished explaining
He only calls me Bryia when he is extremely worried about me. And with everything he said, I know he is right. I brought the guys home and rushed out the door immediately and took the guys with me. I never gave anyone a chance to go over all of this with me. I never gave the guys a chance to talk to anyone. Fuck… he is right.
"Okay, your right. Its best if we stay here for a few weeks then. "I agreed with him.
"Good, not only that I know your dad is just cutting them checks, but they need product, this way they can make more of their own money. They can push while we are clubs, bars, walking down the street whatever works for them. But they need a system. They will follow Kenny, Ashton, Willis, Watson and Alex. Since those are my best guys, they need to learn from them. Kenny will show Gemini how to make money plus watch your ass, and make sure you get home safe at the end of the night." He explained even further.
I sat there taking everything in. It's not like my dad doesn't want me to be protected, but at the same time, he doesn't really go against me. He doesn't sit me down and talk to me like this. HE just lets me run around town. I'm going to have a serious talk with him.
"Okay so how do we get them to make connections with the other crews? I asked as this is my first time having to think about this shit.
I mean I know that they have to talk to the other crews, but what am I supposed to do, pop up in their territory and be like, yo we need numbers and 411? No that's not going to work.
"Well, it's Friday night, crews are going to be everywhere, but I figured we would start out downtown. Corey, Austin and DJ should be down there. DJ is still new in town, so he is going to want to party and check things out before he starts to clean house in his area. The guys can make friends, chill out, follow Kenny's lead" He explained after he took the last drink of vodka in his glass and set it in the little sink next to the bar.
Fuck, I don't want to see DJ. I just seen him this morning.
"Speaking o f DJ" Braiden began still standing on the other side of the bar directly in front of me.
I just looked at him, knowing what he was going to say.
"I know he was a dick, but I handled that shit last night, please be nice. I'm not saying you have to be friends with him, but please just be civil. He is a good guy." Braiden explained in soft tone. He is trying to get me to see reason.
What I told my dad last night is how I feel, he doesn't deserve my attention, he was dick to me for no reason. But Braiden once again, is right.
"Okay I will be civil, but understand that I am doing this for you and you only. He doesn't deserve to have my attention. Not after the way he was looking at me. " I explained my feelings
"Understood" he nodded.
Just then, I remembered what Braiden had said, he was going to give me his best guys, and take my guys with him to train him.
"So, you were going to give me Kenny and Ashton?" I teased but also questioned.
Kenny and Ashton are the best! All leaders want a Kenny and Ashton. They have my cousins back no matter what. They see everything and they know everything before anyone else does. I looked over at the table where Kenny and Ashton were sitting. Thy were smiling because they heard everything, I said. I looked back at Braiden and he was shaking his head laughing.
"Yes, I was going to give you Kenny and Ashton. I have trained them to be the best and only my baby cousin gets the best" he gave me a cheesy ass smile. I don't know what I would do without him.
The rest of the afternoon, we kicked back and relaxed. Braiden ended up falling asleep for a few hours. I'm pretty sure he hadn't slept in a few days. I hate when he does that. He is not invincible, I try to tell him that, but his stubborn ass doesn't listen. Kenny took Gemini under his wing and they were bullshitting and talking business. Traeger and Ashton were with them. So, I decided I was going to go take a shower and start getting ready this way when Braiden woke up, I would be ready to go out.
I opened my bedroom door, my bed was located in front of the picture window but facing the fireplace, I huge walk-in closet, my clothes that I brought with me were already hung up. Kenny usually does that for me. Closest to the door, is my bathroom, the countertop is long, it can fit all of my makeup, hair products, curling iron and straightener. There is a jacuzzi tub and a walk-in shower that can fit like 5 people in it. I'm pretty sure Uncle Brenden designed this room for me. It doesn't surprise me honestly. I have always been close with Braiden and I where ever he is. I usually am there with him.
I walked into the bathroom and of course all my make up and hair products were set up on the counter. Kenny is awesome. Every time I come over; he always gets everything set up for me, so I don't have to do it later. I'm going to have to thank him for this. One thing about Kenny, he is a complete sweetheart to me. But you definitely don't want to get on his bad side.
About a year ago, I decided I was going to go to a party. This party happened to be hosted by Paul leader of the Blood drops Everything was going good for the first few hours. Then all of sudden as I was standing there, this guy Leon flipped his shit on Kenny. I have no idea what is was about. Kenny out of no where pulled out his guy and shot the guy three times in the head. Right there in front of everyone. Dude was dead. Leon was one of Jackson McConnell's guys. Jackson runs Crimson Brotherhood. His dad is one of our allies in Florida, Jackson on the other hand, well I believe he has other intentions. One he absolutely hates Braiden. Two he is head over heels in love with me and I can't stand the mother fucker. He is cocky, shallow and he thinks he knows it all. Anyways, after Kenny killed Leon, everyone in the room just stood there. No one bothered to run to Leon because they were afraid that if they tried to help him, Kenny would kill them too. I wouldn't be surprised. Kenny is vicious that way and if you try to cross my cousin, it's the end of Kenny's gun your staring at.
Kenny isn't like that with me obviously. We get a long great! And before I got my guys, he would always watch me when I was around. And Ashton would take his place next to Braiden. So, the fact that Kenny is going to train Gemini, I am totally fine with it. Gemini will learn a great deal from him.
Johnny came busting in my hotel room, as I was laying on my bed, trying to get some sleep.
"Hey man, so I just got off the phone with Evan, he said that they are going downtown tonight. Apparently, there is a new club that's opening up DX. You want to go? He said as he sat down at the foot of my bed.
"Sure." I replied
This guy, I swear he can never sit still very long and no matter where we go, he has to check everything out.
"I'm letting him know now. We also need to find some bitches." He said as he was looking at his phone.
He was right, we do need to find some bitches. I fucked that bitch last night, but it wasn't enough, and she didn't want to leave afterwards. Johnny had to carry her out of here kicking and screaming. It would be nice to be able to fuck someone and then they leave after, with no issues.
"Ask Evan if he knows where we can get some." I suggested still laying on the bed
"I will do that" he said as he got up and walked out the door.
After he shut the door on the way out, I still just laid there thinking. I have 6 months to give Bryson and answer. I have 6 months of freedom, then I have to make her fall in love with me, just so I can have the entire cartel to myself? How could you do this to me Bryson?
If I don't make her fall in love with me, who would get Bryson's side? I mean Baby doesn't know enough about the business to actually run it right? Would be Braiden? I could handle working with him. Could it be Jackson? That guy I cant fucking stand. Ugh..
I closed my eyes and waited to fall asleep.
"Baby!" I heard my name from Braiden as he came walking into my room, at his house.
I was in the bathroom, finishing up my make up when I poked my head out the bathroom and replied to him "Yeah right here"
Braiden came to the doorway as I returned back to the mirror to finish my makeup. He leaned against the doorway and watched as I finished my make up
"Well don't you just look gorgeous" he smiled at me.
Ever since we were kids, Braiden has always told me how gorgeous I was. I know that in his mind no one is good enough for me.
"Well, you mister, need to go get yourself all handsome for tonight" I said looking at the clothes that he was had been wearing for at least two days.
He laughed at me, and I smiled
Braiden looked a lot like his dad, stood about 5'11 160lbs. He was cut, you could see his muscles but you could tell, his priority was to not hit the weights everyday.
"Can you get in touch with Tyler? We need some girls tonight." He asked
As I finished my eyeliner I said "You need some girls you mean." I corrected him. I don't need no bitch. I do need to get laid but, if I sneak off, he will follow me im not stupid
He laughed again, "yes, I need some girls tonight" he agreed
"How many?" I asked
"umm.. .20" he stated looking at a text message
"okay Ill get in touch with Tyler and we can pick them up. Any specific time? I asked
Its normal for Braiden to come to me about getting girls. Actually, all the guys come to me. I have a friend, Tyler. He is in Bailey, which is up the mountain. He runs an escort service, but he has virgins. He has a rule though. The virgins have to be 18 years old at the very least. They also are brainwashed. I'm not entirely too sure how he does that. But these chicks really are brainwashed. Also, you can not give them any drugs or alcohol. Whatever he does to them, the drugs and liquor will reverse it, then you end up with a chick that has pretty much woken up and is no longer willing.
Tyler refuses to work with the crews though. I'm not sure why either. He never bothered to give more on the situation, and I never bothered to ask. He knows exactly who I am though. We met a bar down in Lakewood called Lucky's. I was with some friends just hanging out, playing pool. Next thing I know Tyler is flirting with me. I never fucked him, but we became friends, and next thing I know, he is showing me warehouse full of girls. Its actually a win, win situation. I get him more business, and I get discounts on the girls that I get for my guys. Plus, he wont work with my family or the crews. So I took advantage of that situation. If I don't get what I want, the guys in my family don't get virgins who are willing. And trust me they are willing. They even grope me when I'm next to them. Once I was finished with my makeup I walked out of the bathroom and over to the night stand and grabbed my phone to text Tyler
Hey, Need girls tonight
Tyler: How many?
17
Tyler: They are ready when you are
Braiden is coming with
Tyler: ok
See you soon
"Girls are ready for pick up whenever your ready" I said looking at Braiden who was standing at the bathroom door still
"Dude I thought you were bringing bitches" Johnny said to Evan as we were standing on the side of 16th street mall.
"I didn't say I was bringing bitches. I said I know where to get some bitches" Evan replied being a smart ass
We were standing outside this shop that apparently had burned down about 5 years prior. Corey was standing next to me and we were waiting on Braiden to get here, meanwhile Evan and Johnny were arguing.
"What's taking him so long?" I turned and asked Corey
"He is coming down the mountain" he replied throwing his cigarette down on the ground.
"Damn." Was all I said.
I've been out here a few times to visit. But I never really had a chance to do much as it was always for business. I'm not used to having mountains that you drive to. So hearing that Braiden is coming down the mountain, I wonder how long that is going to take.
Just then a group of people came walking up on us.
"What's up?" Austin said as he approached us.
Corey shook his hand, so did I
"Just waiting on Braiden" Corey said
Austin nodded his head, "He will be here in about 5" he added
We stood there bullshitting and talking. Johnny was getting more and more hyped up. He defiantly needs to get some pussy. That's all he keeps talking about. We had been standing there for about 15 minutes when all of a sudden, she walked up with Braiden's five top guys.
She was wearing, black leggings, a white shirt that was only covering to the bottom of her tits, she had her black boots on from this morning, she also was wearing some kind of double chain that was hooked to her belly button piercing, her hair was straight this time instead of curly. Her eyeliner made her eyes stand out even more. She looked gorgeous.
"I was wondering if you were going to join us tonight Gorgeous Girl" Corey said walking up to meet her. Evan, Johnny, Austin and I all followed. The rest of the guys that belonged to the 3 crews stood behind watching.
"Of course, someone has to keep you all out of trouble" she smiled giving Corey a hug.
I figured they were close, with him being Braiden's best friend and all, but damn, they look like they are very close. Even the way he talks to her. Why doesn't Bryson give her to him?
Baby said hello to Austin, Evan and Austin's Head of Security Matt came out of no where and gave her hug. Where is Braiden?
"Nice to see you DJ" Baby startled me. I didn't expect her to say anything to me especially after the way things went this more.
Before I could say anything, Johnny began to say "So you must be Bryia" he asked looking much like the guys around her. In love.
Baby smile and said, "Call me Baby, everyone does, especially in public and you are?" she asked Johnny curiously.
Johnny replied, "I'm Johnny, from Devil's Desires." He shook her hand lightly
She glanced at me for a moment and said with a smile "It's nice to meet you Johnny." Turning back to him.
Well Johnny just made me look like a fucking dick, with how I basically introduced myself yesterday. Fucking asshole.
"Alright lets get going" Braiden said as he walked up with Gemini, Traeger, Trey, Marcus and Donnie. He swooped in next to Baby, the opposite side of where Corey was standing and put his arm around her shoulders, and she walked with him. Johnny and I watched as they walked ahead of us. Corey and Evan followed them.
"Isn't that his cousin? Johnny asked Matt, Austin's head of security who was walking with us. Austin was next to him.
"Yeah why?" Matt asked Johnny
"Why is he walking with her like that?" Johnny asked. I mean I get where he is coming from. Only guys do that to chicks they are dating
"To keep her safe. We have had problems in the past where people target her on the street. So Braiden shields her so she wont get shot" Austin explained. Johnny and I both looked at each other.
We were walking for about 5 minutes. We were following Braiden but not too close. And that's when Johnny broke the silence.
"You didn't tell me she looked like that DJ" he said lighting up a cigarette
Austin and Matt just looked at us. They had no idea what the fuck we were talking about.
"Does it make a difference that she looks like that?" I asked Johnny trying not to give any other information, but Johnny's stupid ass gave Austin and Matt all the information they needed.
He turned on me and I stopped. So did Matt and Austin and they listened to every single word.
"Yeah, it makes a huge difference. You are offered her, in return you get the whole fucking cartel and all you have to do is love an extremely beautiful woman like that for the rest of your life. I mean I would get it if she were ugly and looked like Bryson, but she is not! She is drop dead gorgeous and any guy would jump at the offer your bouncing back and forth. You need to rethink some shit here DJ." Johnny said and he started walking again.
I looked over at Matt and Austin. The looked like they were about to pass out at the news that they just heard. Remembering Braiden's words that Bryson doesn't want Baby to know I turned to them.
"Not a word of this in front of her or Bryson will kill you. Understood.'" And I walked off after Johnny before either of them had a chance to respond.
I can not believe Johnny did this. Besides, he was on my side. I mean why should I have to dedicate myself to one person, no matter how beautiful she is. Ugh. I'm going to fuck him up later.
We came to the end of the street and turned the corner. There was a huge warehouse, you couldn't see inside the windows but there was a sign on it that had "CLUB DX" Grand Opening. The line was so long. Probably about 2 blocks long. We were going to be here forever. Braiden handed Baby over to Corey who then put his arm around her and Braiden, Gemini and Traeger all ran across the street while we stood there on the corner.
A few minutes later, we seen Braiden walking back towards us, he waved at us to come across the street. As we got to the other side, Baby went back under his arm. She just passed from guy to guy like nothing was going on all the while texting on her phone. Why was Gemini staying close to Braiden? Not going to lie, that kind of irritated me. I mean I was supposed to get him. Now he is with them. Nothing seems to be going as planned.
"Megan and the girls are already inside" I said to Braiden
Braiden nodded his head and we picked up our pace, to the front of the line, all of the guys that were with us, followed. As we got to the bouncer, he let us in immediately as Braiden had already paid him off. We walked down a hallway that led us to some stairs and straight to the dance floor. There were 4 different bar son the main floor. There were lights above changing colors. The music was so loud. Off to the right side, there was set of stairs that went up to s second level which you could see there were tables and chairs more bars, and pool tables. I love this place!
I pushed through the crowd and walked to the stairs and headed up. Megan, Lexi and Camille were already up here with some other girls waiting on me. Kenny and Ashton were trailing close behind as I had left Braiden behind with the others. As I reached the top of the stairs, I seen Megan.
"Hey!" I said getting her attention.
"OMG BABY!!" she screamed so loud and stumbled back a few steps.
I shook my head and reached out for her. Kenny and Ashton seen and helped me with her.
"Jesus Meg" I said laughing. Ashton moved to stand behind her.
"What are you doing beautiful?" Meg asked as she wobbled in the same the place
"Looking for you and Lex. Where is she?" I asked her
Meg thought long and hard for a second, but then got distracted by Braiden, Corey and DJ.
"Braiden!" she said as she flung herself at him
Braiden, who usually doesn't like when chicks do that, generously caught her and helped her to stand straight. "Megan, how are you doll?" he asked her
She laughed and reached up to kiss his cheek. He allowed it to happen, but only because she was my friend. "I miss your face Braiden!" Megan said drunkenly
I laughed at her shaking my head, just then Lexi showed up out of nowhere.
"So that's where she ran off too? Lexi said as she walked over to give me a hug,
"Yeah she fell right into his arms once again" I smirked at my cousin.
Just then, DJ caught Lexi's attention, and she elbowed me. I followed her gaze to see who she was looking at. DJ who watching Lexi, looked directly at me.
"Its okay, he was just having a bad day" I said making up an excuse for his behavior yesterday.
Braiden turned to DJ and gave him a look I couldn't quite see as his face was not looking at me directly. He then passed the very drunk Megan off to Dominic to deal with. Dominic looked at Megan and did what he could to stand her up and have her walk on her own. But she failed, miserably.
Lexi and I turned, and we walked over to a pool table where all my friends were hanging out. Camille was sitting there with Rory, Monica, Chelsea and Veronica. All of the girls seen us and got so twitter pated once their eyes landed on my cousin.
"Hey Braiden" Chelsea said as she eyeball fucked the shit out of him.
I laughed, he smiled and said "Hey Chelsea, how's it going?". Chelsea is in love with my cousin, but thankfully Braiden hasn't slept with her because she would hate him afterwards. Braiden is fucked up towards the chicks he fucks. But I cant get that through her head. Oh well, at least I can trust my cousin does not fuck with my friends.
We all sat there and chilled out, talking. Kenny and Ashton came back with drinks for everyone. The guys took over the pool table and played games betting each other. Poor Donnie was stuck with Megan who eventually passed out in his lap.
"Ill be right back" I said to Lexi and Braiden as I walked away to go to the bathroom.
The bathrooms were behind the bar, the line was so damn long. It took 15 minutes just to get in there. Once I was done washing my hands, I came out of the bathroom and I headed down the hall again. Out of no where someone came up behind me, covered my mouth and dragged me through the door at the beginning of the hall before I hit the bar.
Once inside the room, he turned me around to face him in the dark. He didn't say much but started kissing me. By the smell of his cologne, the taste of his lips, I knew exactly who it was.
He backed me up and put me on a table, so I was facing him as he stepped between my legs and moved from kissing my lips to my neck. My body responded to him. I was getting hot. His hands continued to search every inch of my body as he slowly moved to my shoulder and bit me just enough to leave a mark. I grasped for him, pulling him even closer as I wanted more. He moved back to my lips as I moved my hands to the bottom of his shirt, and I lifted his shirt up over his head, I could feel every muscle on his chest, his stomach, underneath my fingers as I headed for his V line.
He trembled at my touch and his got rougher, showing me how hungry he was for me and that I was starving for him. He pulled my pants off as I kicked off my boots, exposing even more of myself to him, those golden eyes looked at me while his hands gripped my hips and pulled me closer to him. My breathing was getting heavier and I could already feel I was wet, but I wanted more, and he knew it. He reached down and played with my clit, kissing and biting on neck. I tried to be as quiet as possible, but before I got louder, I finally found his lips again. He pulled out his dick and began to rub it against my clit, I could feel I was getting wetter. I wanted to feel him inside me, so I put my hands between my legs and guided him inside me, he responded by thrusting gently. As he went further in, I could feel every inch of him.
My body was getting hotter by the second, he was so fucking hard I wanted to scream, but I kept kissing him. He began with slow long thrusts, as he wrapped one arm around my ribs and set his hand on the table right behind me and gripped my hip with the other hand to keep me from moving, he thrusted harder and harder, and harder.
It was our 11th game of pool; Braiden and I were killing Austin and Corey. We each have made about $2000.00 so far and we were getting ready to get started on this game when Kenny came up to us.
"Baby's gone." He looked at Braiden with a cold face.
I looked over at Braiden who had a deadly look on him.
"What the fuck do you mean she is gone?" He demanded throwing the pool stick onto the pool table.
This got everyone's attention around us that we were chilling with.
"She went to the bathroom, and never came back so I went over there to see what was taking so long. When I got there, the line was long, so I went and stood up by the entrance and waited for about 10 minutes, she never came out." Kenny was in the middle of explaining.
Braiden was seriously about to flip his shit. I will admit I'm a little concerned as well. Where the fuck could she have gone?
"So, go in there!" Braiden demanded pointing in the direction of the bathrooms.
Kenny looked like a small child getting yelled at by his parents and slowly answered.
"I did. Braiden she isn't in there" he explained.
Just then I seen worry flash across Braiden's face. He picked up his phone and began calling her repeatedly. Corey and Austin had moved in by this time and they were very concerned. How can someone just vanish into thin air with so many people around. Corey and Austin called their guys and sent them looking for her. Kenny took off to continue his search.
"Johnny, get on the phone, tell the guys what's up, and start looking for her. She has to be here somewhere" I ordered him.
As I gave the order I noticed that her friends, were standing there watching us. No said anything.
"I gotta go" I said giving him one last kiss and headed for the door.
"Come to me soon, or ill come find you again" Kearen smiled looking me up and down as I walked out the door.
II swear he seems he can never get enough. I was just with him last night and now he shows up here unexpectedly. I walked out into the hall and the line was still so long for the bathroom. Fuck, as I walked over to the line, Kenny came up behind me.
"Where have you been? I have been searching everywhere for you" he said wide eyed and worried.
Oh shit how long was I in there?
"I have to pee but both lines are long as fuck." I explained as I stood in the bathroom line again.
It really wasn't a lie, I had to go again.
"Okay, Ill wait with you'' he said as he pulled out his phone and text who I assumed was Braiden.
I didn't mean to make him worry. I didn't even know Kearen was going to show up here. I hadn't seen him since last night or talked to him since then. Great. Here we go. Braiden is going to be so upset with me. As we were standing there, Braiden, Corey, DJ and Austin came around the corner. Braiden looked pissed off.
As soon as Braiden got the text, he stormed off. I looked at Corey and Austin but the look they gave me, they didn't know what was going on either. So, we followed him just in case. We rounded the corner to the bathrooms and seen where he was headed. Kenny was standing with Baby in the line to the women's restrooms.
"Where the fuck did you go? He said in an off tone I have never heard him use before.
"To the restroom, but I this line was so long I decided to try the one downstairs, it was longer" she said looking at him.
Right at that second Gemini and Watson came up to us.
"Line downstairs is twice as long as up here. We didn't see her" Watson said. But then he realized that Baby was standing next to Kenny and took a step back.
"Told you" Baby said as she gave Braiden a dirty look and turned away from him.
As she turned, her hair swayed off her shoulder and I could see that there were bite marks on her shoulder. Fresh ones at that too. I looked to see if any of the other guys caught it. When Braiden walked over and pushed her hair off her shoulder. And gave her a look. Baby nodded her head no and looked away from him. He then looked at me and looked back at her.
"Who were you with?" he asked her a little irritated.
She was with someone? Who was she with? I suddenly felt like I needed answers that were honestly none of my business.
"Those are from last night" she said as she turned around and walked away from him. She pushed past the rest of us who were just standing there. Corey leaned against the wall and looked right at me. I turned to look at Austin and he was watching Baby as she walked away, with Kenny and Ashton on her heels.
When I finally looked at Braiden, he was watching her walk away. He looked hurt and then when he looked at me, he just went cold.
Corey spoke first "She doesn't know, you can't blame her for having her fun when no one is telling her about DJ.''
Damn he knows too. I didn't know if Braiden would tell him or not, but I should have expected he would. However, I'm pretty sure that comment was made more for me than for Braiden.
"That's not why I'm upset man. She has been doing this for the last three months. She takes off, no one can find her and then she pops back up. I question her, and nothing. She wont tell me who this guy is. She wont tell me anything. I don't know what to do man, we never keep anything from each other and now this guy has her lying to me and hiding.'' Braiden said as he leaned against the wall looking at the ground
"Have you told Bryson about what's going on?" Austin questioned. He was concerned for Baby as well
Corey answered before Braiden got a chance. "Yes, Bryson knows, he's freaked out about the situation as well. He doesn't get why she wont tell anyone. We have been on her case about it. Following her, but she just randomly disappears when she is with us like tonight, or she runs when she sees us." He explained looking at the floor.
"So what is it that you're after? I asked. I wasn't going to say anything but I they all seem very frustrated and concerned for her as if her life is in danger. "Is it only to see who this guy is?" I clarified to see of there was another reason.
Braiden and Corey looked at me not expecting me to say anything. Which is normal I have been quiet but every time I turn around its all about her. So, fuck, might as well see how I can help
Braiden was the first to speak "Yeah for now. See who this guy is. But the issue is Baby knows when she is being followed so she waits until she has an opening and then she runs for him.
I can not believe I was about to do this.
"Okay, so let's say this." I began turning around to make she wasn't anywhere near me. She was not.
"I put some guys on her, because she hasn't been able to get familiar with any of them except for Johnny she won't be able to run because she doesn't know them, and they can figure out who this guy is." I asked Braiden giving him a solution
Braiden moved closer. But Corey answered.
"You would really do that?" Corey asked forgetting my question I had asked in the beginning.
It was Braiden who answered my question.
"We need to know who she is running to, I get its her personal life, and you don't care much about that right now, but there is someone else working for Tyler here in the industry. The way Baby has been running off and refusing to tell who he is, I'm afraid that this person is the guy we are looking for and he has Baby brainwashed or something. Baby doesn't keep secrets from me DJ. This kind of behavior isn't normal for her. "he explained showing that he truly was worried about her.
I nodded my head yes, he wasn't lying. We know Tyler has flipped a few people. Which is another reason as to why I am out here. I just cant picture Baby sleeping with the enemy.
"I wasn't going to ask you to get involved in this DJ" Braiden started but I cut him off
"I'm involved no matter what. I mean technically she is my problem if you think about it. I don't want to go back to Chicago to run half an industry, and I know you don't want to run the industry at all. So, she is my problem. Weather I want to admit it right now or not. I'm involved because this is about her." I said stating the damn truth., Fuck. I have been out here for like 48 hours and already I am choosing her. What the fuck is wrong with me?
I leaned against the wall and looked at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry man, I'm just worried about my cousin" Braiden said as he stood next to me and lit a cigarette.
"I get it man, she is gorgeous as fuck, and anyone can take advantage of her and she has more enemies than she probably realizes'' I said thinking about all the reasons why Bryson would want me to be with her.
Braiden just laughed. Corey and Austin joined him. I looked at them all. They could see I was starting to turn in her direction.
"Fuck you guys" I said laughing
"Should I call Bryson now and tell him the news or" he stopped to laugh some more.
I laughed too; I cannot believe I was actually going to go through with this. But I know what I want, and I have 6 months to decide.
"Hold off on telling Bryson. I want to make him suffer a little while longer, In the meantime, ill put guys on Baby. See if we can figure out who this guy is." I said making myself clear on the situation.
"Hold on." Austin said as we started to turn to leave.
"Why put more guys on Baby, when you, DJ, can easily get what you want from her?" Austin said and that caught everyone's attention
"What do you mean?" Braiden asked with a twisted look
"Well, think about it? Say DJ's guy find out who he is. Baby being, well, Baby, is gonna throw a temper tantrum and she isn't going to cooperate with any of us and we all know she will never trust us again. We all know that except for DJ of course. But…. DJ could move in on her… get her to talk to him. He can get her to give him more information that way." Austin explained to our little circle.
We all sat there thinking. If I were to move in on her, then that's it, that's my freedom. No other chicks, no nothing…
"if he does that though, that's it, Bryson will know, and the deal is sealed." Corey said
"True but just because the deal is sealed, doesn't mean he has to act on it right now. Not only that, Austin is also right. Baby has been getting more distant from me, but I can pull her back in. She finds out that DJ is following her, that's the end of their relationship before it even began. What kind of life is that going to give the two of them? We all know Baby can hold a grudge.'' Braiden said trying to find another solution
