"You're not involved, give me what you've got, but you're out of it, from now on you don't do anything you hear me?"
"Uh, are you off your meds again ...bless your heart? You don't get to tell me what to do capisce?"
I was back to wanting to pop her one, I should be able to get away with it for all the aggravation she's caused me.
"Mouth, I'll fucking lock you away somewhere, swear on my mother."
"Let me know how you make out with that one........jackass."
I pulled her in and bit into her bottom lip just to shut her up, but I'd overplayed my hand. I'd forgotten how the taste of her went straight to my head, and how she always just stopped whenever I touched her. It was like pulling a switch; she melted into me with a sigh. I took her mouth forgetting our audience until I heard throat clearing and chuckles.
"Boy you're mighty brave manhandling my kid in front of me like that; I guess any man who has the coglioni to do that is good enough to be my son in law, my male heir." He actually rubbed his hands together.
"Even though you're medigan, I would've chosen a nice Italian boy for you though Ari, but when have you ever listened to me?"
I was ready to go apeshit when he mentioned choosing an Italian as her mate but Mouth calmed the situation.
"Dad you knew there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell that I'd ever marry one of your cronies or any of their deadbeat sons, knock it off."
"See Roberto that's gratitude for ya, I told you we shoulda sent her to the nuns when she was little, she's got way too much fire in her, that can't be good."
"She gets it from her mother, God rest her soul."
"You're right about that, Dahlia was known to have a temper." He laughed in fond remembrance.
"Are we through with family hour, because I heard something about some asshole plotting to take me out so he can take over my shit, not only that now I have to deal with the fact that said asshole's son was planning to kidnap and force my wife into marriage."
"Uh..." Mouth raised her hand as if to interrupt, but since I knew what she was about to say I cut her off at the pass. She's my wife in my eyes and that's fucking final.
"You're as good as; I don't need to hear it from you. Now what the fuck are we going to do about these fucks?" I turned back to her annoying family.
"What you got Ari?" Rossi looked at his daughter expectantly, it didn't escape my notice that he still hadn't gotten too close to Mouth, he must really think she would slug him for making her believe he was dead all this time.
She folded her arms and tapped her foot, aw shit, here comes the fucking attitude. Fuck my life, will she ever just do as she's told, I guess not, hard headed fuck. She's going to make me batty. This is what I'd chosen for myself, this is what I took one look at and decided I had to have it. Fuck me.
"I want in, I did all the ground work it's only fair." I opened my mouth to blast her, no fucking way, if she thought I was kidding she could think again, I don't care what she'd gotten up to before she became mine, but there was no way I was standing back and letting her put herself in harm's way ever again though. Ma would have a coronary if she heard about this shit. She liked to pretend that I was just a night club owner; I liked to keep it that way.
"Be reasonable Arianna, you never wanted any part of the life remember and this thing is big, this could mean all out war. Flanagan's right, you need to stay out of this."
"Dead man talking. No." She actually held her palm up to him.
Damn she even gives Roberto Rossi shit, this did not bode well for me, she was gonna run circles around my ass for sure. Shit, I am so fucked.
Right now I have to find a diplomatic way to get her to pull out, she had that mutinous look on her face which meant we would be here all night with the back and forth and I wanted to get things rolling as soon as possible. Somehow knowing they were after her was more significant than them wanting me dead, and that's just plain fucked up. I think I might've borrowed Mikey's vagina. Pussy whipped motherfucker.
"Okay Mouth, you got a point, you did the ground work, let’s see what you've got and we'll go from there."
"Uh uh, promise me first and then I'll share."
I had to give my wording some thought, couldn't lie to my woman now could I, that's no way to start a relationship, not to mention crazy woman would have my nuts if I fucked with her.
"Okay, I promise that we'll let you help with the situation."
"Thank you." She smiled and headed towards her bedroom returning with a box full of folders and what looked like her school shit.
"Fuck Mouth, how long you been on these guys?" She preened at me so I stole a smooch.
"Alright you two knock it off, Flanagan I hope you know what you're doing letting her get involved, she's obviously not listening to anything I say, not that she ever did. I can make grown men shit themselves but this little bit of a thing ignores me, now how fair is that I ask you?"
