[17] Talking, Party

Fiona walked into the secure room in the basement hugging herself nervously.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry that I kissed you... I'm sorry Savannah broke your heart." Fiona suddenly said while hugging me from behind.

"It's alright Fi, I'm sorry I didn't handle it properly either." I replied softly as I covered her hands with mine and pulled them a little tighter against me.

"We need to talk about Carl having a bag of coke and an Uzi Fi, I get that Steve's been fucking with your head…my relationship with Savannah has been messing with your head…But Fi, that's not him torching a stray cat in his bedroom." I said softly as I turned around and hugged her closer to me.

"I know, I know…I'm sorry Izzy, I-I haven't been myself since that night." Fiona said as she started to cry against my chest with her ear pressed over my heart.

"I-I can't do this on my own anymore Izzy I need you, I need someone…" Fiona cried and I kissed the top of her head before resting my chin on top of her head.

"You always have us Fi, I'm sorry I didn't put forth enough time with the family these past months…but we both need to live some of our lives for ourselves, sure Fi

… Lip, Ian and I are old enough to look after ourselves and to help more with Liam and Carl, but Debbie…she needs more of a mother figure, I mean come on if Savannah and I hadn't stopped her she would have kidnapped that kid the other day." I told Fi, making her nod against my chest.

"I know, I'll try to be there more for her…with the job you gave me at Pillow Fights, I don't have to work so many jobs so I have a lot more free time now…I-I Steve and was trying to convince me to go to South America with him." Fiona said and I had to roll my eyes.

"Sis, I know you love Steve.. don't try to deny it…but I think you love the fact he's a lot like Frank, just not an alcoholic that reeks of his own bodily fluids and dog shit." I joked and Fiona giggled against my chest.

"So…what can you tell me about Gisele?" Fiona asked me though her voice was slightly combative.

"She's beautiful, graceful, skilled, cute, she's a total badass…and she is trustworthy, so are the others Fi." I replied to Fiona who I could tell was rolling her eyes.

"You know you came back just in time, V and Kev want to get married…she and Kev mentioned you fucking V for a wedding present and having a threesome with both of them for a present to Kevin." Fiona finally said to me as she pulled out of the hug and I arched an eyebrow at her and she rolled her eyes.

"You okay with that?" I asked her making her roll her eyes again.

"As if I've ever been able to stop you from doing what you want." Fiona made an exasperated noise before replying with a smile on her face.

"Haha, you have." I joked before playfully pushing Fiona away and then wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

"I'm glad you came back Izzy…I almost thought you'd stay gone." Fiona said to me as she kissed my cheek and then we walked out of the secure room to join the party.

"It…was tempting, I plan to travel more often though." I replied to Fi once we crested the top step out of the basement.

"Will Gisele be sticking around?" Fiona asked me just as Gisele walked past us and sent her a glare.

"No, she has to leave." I said as I found myself watching Gisele walk away.

Fiona didn't say anything but I felt her staring at me.

"You like her a lot." Fiona finally said with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Yeah…but it probably won't come to anything." I finally said as it seems like Gisele just likes to bust my chops.

Separating from Fiona going over to see Roman and Tej who were just pulling up.

'I wouldn't be so sure.' Fiona thought to herself as she noticed Gisele's gaze on her brother definitely wasn't the gaze of a woman who only wanted to be friends.

"How'd you guys make out?" I asked the two as they got out of their vehicles receiving big smiles on their faces and they gave me bro handshakes and one armed hugs.

"Good, real good." Roman said as he lifted up his shirt showing his waistband stuffed with 10k stacks of hundred dollar bills.

'This nigga.' I thought to myself while using a flex of will not to roll my eyes.

"Issac, this is your share…Dom won't let you turn it down and neither will any of us." Tej said.

"I mean if he don't want it." Roman said with a big smile splitting across his face.

"Nah, I'll take it. best we get it inside…chances are these cars will be stolen by morning." I said and Tej nodded and Roman went aww man but smiled at me anyways as he moved to help me and Tej carry large metal briefcases into the house.

"Damn, this is some next level shit." Roman said as I opened the door to the secure room and Tej looked around at the computer shit like he was gonna have a nerdgasm.

"Damn bro you gotta let me use your setup." Tej finally said as I grabbed my bug scanner and went over the briefcases, making sure they weren't bugged before opening them up and double checking.

"Help yourself, but get some food first man." I told him and grabbed the Ak-47 from Roman's hands.

"Careful Roman, all my guns are locked and loaded unless they are torn down on that table." I told him as I removed the 30 round mag from the Ak and the one that was in the chamber before handing the rifle back to him.

I looked over to see Tej shaking his head at Roman.

"Do you use all of these?" Roman finally asked me.

"Nah, I typically only carry this." I said as I pulled my Infinity 1911 out of its tactical holster that was kept in my waistband and set it down on the table.

"Damn, that's a nice piece bro." Roman said as he picked it up and did a banger hold on it.

"Thanks, it's a Strayer Voigt Infinity in .45 ACP." I told him as I went over to a rack and grabbed the second one I had M get me as I planned to start carrying around two of them.

"Here, she's brand new and all of you guys should be carrying some form of protection around." I told him.

"Thank you bro." Roman said while pulling me into a one armed hug.

"No problem Bro, make sure to keep yourself safe." I told him.

"Tej, you want something, take it from the shelf ." I told him but he put his hands up.

"I don't do guns." He said and I resisted the urge to chuckle.

"That's all good man, I don't much like guns myself either, they're loud." I told him honestly.

"Then why do you have so many and use them?" Tej asked me, sounding honestly curious.

"Arrows aren't efficient enough, swords need to be up close and within grabbing distance and crossbows haven't had any major improvements since compound bows were invented." I told him as I started thinking about designing a crossbow.

Which made Tej nod.

"Well I want to get something to eat so, I'll talk to you guys later." I told them and both Tej and Roman followed me out of the secure room.

I saw Mia tiredly laying on the couch while loud music was coming into the house as Brian sat down next to her.

"Hey." I walked over to the two.

"Hey man, awesome party." Brian told me and I smiled at him before looking over at Mia.

"You guy's take my room upstairs, it's soundproof." I told them both, making Mia look at me slightly relieved but also slightly unwilling to take the offer, and was about to refuse.

"I won't take no for an answer. That's my godson or daughter in there and you need some restful rest." I told her gently, making her smile.

"Haha, I told you he'd accept." Brian laughed happily while standing up and pulling me into a bro hug that I returned.

"Shut up Brian." Mia said while pouting slightly.

"The room is at the top of the steps, there's fresh bedding in the wardrobe if you think the bed needs it." I told Brian who nodded and offered me a fist bump.

"Thank you." Mia said to me and gave me a hug before her and Brian went upstairs to "sleep".

Going outside grabbing a paper plate and piling it high with food and then joining my siblings at a table to eat.

"So…how's things with Karen going?" I asked Lip who immediately looked down.

"She's refusing to see him…though, Mandy has been getting on Lip's case and making sure he goes to class." Ian told me while stage whispering.

"Mandy's a good girl, born into a shit family." I said making everyone look at me oddly but I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Fuck you." Lip finally said as he bumped his shoulder against mine.

"Do me a favor Lip, give Mandy a real chance." Told him softly making him look me in the eyes before nodding.

"Alright." He replied to me.
