Cheers to claustrophobia.
“Finish your fucking sentence.”
“Leave it alone man, this is not the time. We have other matters to deal with, than your lovers quarrel.”
“Later then,” Shadows grits.
“Never actually,” I smile.
I wiggle out of Baby Face’s grip and storm out of the bathroom. There is a door across the room, so I go up to it and open. It’s Baron’s closet.
“Whatever thoughts you have going through your mind, put them to a halt. You don’t want to antagonize them more, especially not Baron.” Baby face shuts the door before I can go in and rip his expensive suits to ribbons.
“Eagle, let her be. She wants to push her luck and end up in Baron’s playroom again then let her,” Shadow sighs and sits at the desk chair.
“Seriously man, we need her alive.” Baby Face gives Shadow an incredulous look.
“You need me alive? What the fuck is going on?”
“You never told her?”
“Drop it Eagle.”
“Damn you really are an asshole.”
“Enough fucking talking. Eagle put your mask back on. And you,Little Monster, sit your ass on that bed and get some rest,” Shadow orders.
I look at the lamp on the nightstand and impulsively chuck it at Shadow’s head. He dodges it and is in my face immediately. His hand wraps around my throat pushing me into the wall but I don’t try to fight him. Despite everything, I don’t think he’ll kill me. Well at least I hope not.
“Fuck you! You have no right to call me that. I am nothing to you.”
“Let’s get a few things straight,” He spits. “One- You nearly killed Carson; they will not take that lightly. As of right now, Baron and Gunner have claimed you, and Nik on occasion. But you keep this up, Vaughn will surely try tostake his claim as well. If you think Vaughn repeatedly drowning you and Nikolas beating the shit out of you or Baron carving his god forsaken initials into your skin is their worst? I can tell you from my experience here, that is nothing compared to what they can do.”
He lets up on his hold as he continues, “Two, you have always been something to me, do not say that shit again. And three, I have the right to call you Little Monster , Alley. I don’t care what they say, you will always be mine. I may not be killing them with my bare fucking hands for touching you, yet, but that doesn’t change the facts. You fucking belong to me.” He releases me and backs away.
“I belong to no one, especially not you,” I say, rubbing my throat.
“She is going to be the death of you,” Baby Face, I mean Eagle, laughs going back to his post.
A terrible idea crosses my mind and I decide to act on it because I need the distraction.
“Scratch that, I pledge my loyalty to Baby Face over there,” I smile while eyeing Eagle.
“His name is Eagle not Baby Face,” Shadow grinds.
“I’ll just shorten it toBaby.” I blow a kiss to Eagle.
“You are going to get me killed, honey,” Eagle snickers, shaking his head.
“Her name is Alley to you,” Shadow snaps.
“Ignore him baby, you can call me whatever you want,” I wink. “That also includes calling me yours.”
“Alley, do not fucking push it.”
“Baby, I think Shadow is jealous. What do you think?”
“Jealousy is an understatement for what he is when it comes to you, Alley,” Eagle states with amusement in his voice. He is helping me rile up Shadow and I am all here for it.
