Risk. Part 19

Once we were outside Denny picked up the pace, "Call Doc, have him meet us at the house but tell him not to go in until we get there. We don't need Jonah flipping out." He whispered a hint of panic in his voice.

Sliding into the back seat with me still in his arms I let me eyes slide shut.

I was close to losing it. If Denny didn't show up or call me soon I was going to have a mental break down.

When Denny got the call that Olivia had accidently been picked up by Adams boys I almost lost it right there in the club. The only thing that had stop me from storming into Adam's house and beating the living s.h.i.t out of everyone was Denny reminding me that Olivia wasn't talking to me because of the person she thought I was now that she knew about the drug business.

Pacing back and forth through the living room Mason told me it was fine, for the hundredth time. One more fine out of his mouth and it was Mason I was going to beat.

Mason's cell ringing had me lunging for his phone but d.a.m.n him, Mason was faster.

Nodding his head and saying yes a lot made me almost lose it for the second time today.

Finally hanging up Mason gave me an uneasy look, "You need to be prepared," Oh s.h.i.t how bad was it? "Olivia has a pretty nasty b.u.mp on her forehead Denny's called Doc out."

I Wanted to scream and beat who ever hit my Olivia but I did neither as the door opened and Denny came in with Olivia in his arms, I froze, with a big b.u.mp on her forehead cut and bruised and tears streaming down her face I lost all the fight, thoughts of killing anyone who'd played about in this screw up went out the window as all I wanted to do was hold her and take care of her.

Snapping out of it I went straight to them, Olivia arms reaching out for me before I even got there. Taking her into my arms I kissed her gently as she wrapped her arms around my neck holding on like she feared I might let her go. She had another thing coming, I was going to be stuck to her like glue for the rest of her life.

Moving across the room I sat on the couch so Doc could check her head without me having to let her go and by the way she was still holding on she wasn't going to be letting me go any time soon either.

As I sat down my arm under her legs moved to rest on her hip, Olivia's body tensed up and a hiss left her mouth. Pulling her shirt up and the waistband of her jeans down slightly deep purple bruises shaped like fingers had my vision turning red and thoughts of killing the person who put their hands on my girl back.

Denny and Mason stepped in closer to see what had me freaking out, Denny cussed while Mason's hand found one of Olivia's which she grabbed a hold of.

Trying to hand Olivia off to Mason, I got nails dug into my skin, "What are you doing?" Olivia croaked out in a rough voice.

"Mason is going to take you for a little while I've got to deal with the person who put that mark on you."

"Denny took care of it." Olivia whispered holding me tighter.

"Is he still breathing?" I asked really hoping the answer was no.

"Not through his nose." Denny hissed.

"Not good enougha'"

"Jonah no. That's not my Jonah." Olivia spoke over my rant.

"What?" I asked looking down at her face.

"Before I was grabbed I was on my way to you because I remembered who you were before I found out. But being with Adam and his boys showed me that you and Denny are nothing like them. You may work in their world but you do not belong in their world. You're a good person Jonah, you just made a big mistake you need to fix."

A hundred different emotions were running through me leaving me speechless. Settling back into the chair I held on to Olivia a little tighter kissing the top of her head.

Doing what he was paid to do without asking how or why Doc did his thing asking Olivia annoying questions, and poking around her head.

After another round of stupid questions Doc determined Olivia had a very mild concussion and other than some pain from the b.u.mp and cut she would be fine with over the counter pain killers, some more ice and being woken up every hour for the next twelve.

"You sure she's ok Doc?" I asked wanting to make sure.

"She's fine Jonah just a nasty bruise." Doc a.s.sured me as he gathered his stuff, standing straight up he looked around the room, "Try not to smother her boys it's a minor injury."

Looking up I saw it wasn't just me worrying over Olivia, both Denny and Mason were huddled close, concern written all over their faces. It was obvious that they loved Olivia too.

Announcing I was taking Olivia to bed both Denny and Mason came to her.

Leaning down Mason kissed the uninjured side of her forehead, "Glad your home honey."

Taking Mason place Denny cupped Olivia's face kissing her softy on top of her head. "No more crying sweetheart it breaks my heart." Denny said catching the tear with his thumb, "Next time you and Jonah get in to it don't leave us please." Nodding her head yes Denny gave her another quick kiss then left the room.

Standing up with Olivia in my arms I carried her to my room to let her get some sleep before we had a very long talk.

Chapter 20.

Finally the longest twelve hours of my life were up; I'd woken Olivia every hour on the dot. For the first half she was groggy but smiley, the second half she was tired and mean and I found out last night, you should never wake a sleeping Olivia.

I hadn't slept at all last night instead I'd laid next to her watching her sleep. During the night Denny had come up and explained what had happen, that Adam's boys had taken her because they thought she was part of Mika's group. Mika's boys being in town was bad news, Olivia's brother once being involved with Mika was worse. Mika was a top drug lord in the Russian mob and pure evil; you didn't cross Mika and live to talk about it. If Mika had sent his right hand man to take over Vinnie's business we were screwed; Mika would have Vinnie's business sooner or later.

I didn't really care if Mika took Vinnie's business or not right now, I wanted to know how the h.e.l.l had Olivia's brother crossed Mika? Was it Mika that had been following Olivia, wanting her to pay for something her brother did? That thought both scared me and made me feel less guilty about bringing Olivia into my life because there was no way she could face Mika alone. And the guilt of exposing her to the harsher side of life was eased a little more by the voice in my head telling me that I did not show her the bad she had already seen it. Even if I'd left her alone like I should have she would have still been pulled into the bad because of her brother. What I would give to have a conversation with Olivia's brother.

Movement beside me pulled me away from my thoughts, looking down I found big blue eyes staring at me.

"What were you thinking so hard about?" Olivia asked sleep still heavy in her voice.

Did I tell her what I was thinking? Would talking about her brother send her into a panic attack? I couldn't deal with a panic attack on top of what happened last night, she already taken ten years off my life. "How are you feeling?" I asked going for the safer route.

"Tired and my head kind of hurts still." Pulling her face up so I could look at it better I gently felt around the b.u.mp causing Olivia to wince, kind of hurts my a.s.s she was in pain, "I'll get you some more pain killers."

"Thanks but I can get them I need to get up anyways."

Was she freaking kidding me, "Where do you think you're going?" I said stopping her from sitting up.

"Jonah, I'm fine."

"I know but you scared the h.e.l.l out of meaagain, so just let me take care of you, ok? I need it."

Staring at me for a long moment Olivia eyes filled with tears, "I'm sorry I scared you again."

Pulling her against my chest I kissed the top of her head. "Not your fault baby." I whispered into her hair.

"I shouldn't have been out so late but I needed to see you."

This is what I needed, lifting her face up with my fingers on her chin I searched her face, "Why did you need to see me Olivia?"

"I missed you."

The words barely left her mouth when my lips crushed down on hers and took the kiss I'd been dying without.

Pulling her mouth away from mine she put her hand on my chest stopping me from moving back in. "Truth Jonah, do you want out of Vinnie's business and are you trying to get out?"

"Truth baby, I want out bad and I am trying to get out."

"Ok."

Pulling back a little stunned I raised one eyebrow and tilted my head to the side, "Ok what?"

"Ok I'm staying with you and probably for a really long time."

"Really?"

"Jonah I understand how and why you got into Vinnie business. Does me understanding make it right? No, I don't think it does but you're trying to make up for it and honestly my heart wants what my heart wants, it doesn't really care for right or wrong. But you should know I wouldn't be coming back if you weren't trying to get out."

Taking a deep breath to calm the emotion rage through my body I breathed out slowly, "I'm trying baby but it's not something that is going to happen tomorrow or even next week. I can't give you a time I can only tell you I'm trying."

"Good Jonah." She said kissing my lips then slipping away from me and getting off the bed leaving me too stunned to move.

What the h.e.l.l just happened no argument just a simple *good Jonah' what was she thinking or better yet what was she up too?

Jonah had sent me back to bed after I was done in the bathroom. I could have argued but it wasn't just Jonah I was up against, Denny and Mason were backing him. I was seriously waiting for them to brake out the bubble wrap.

By lunchtime I was so bored I was willing to fight Jonah, Denny and Mason on the whole bed rest thing. But thankfully I was saved from what would have been me crying until I got my way by a very uneasy looking Ty.

"What are you doing here?" I shouted as walked into the room.

"Nice to see you too friend." Ty said giving me his full sa.s.sy girl att.i.tude.

"Not what I meant."

Flopping down beside me Ty folded his arms across his chest and stuck his nose in the air, "Uh-huh."

"I meant how did you know I was here?"

"When I came home last night Darcy said she hadn't seen you for a couple of days. I called your cell but what has become your norm you didn't pick up. I got worried so I called Jonah."

"Darcy is back?"

"Yeah got back last night an hour before me." Ty said dropping the att.i.tude to give me a sad look, "She hasn't called you?"

"She doesn't like me right now."

"It's not you she doesn't like Liv."

Wasn't that the truth Jonah and Darcy had had a screaming match last time they saw each other.

"So umaI actually came to see you for more than just to see you." Oh gosh his eyebrows were bunched together and he was doing that nervous chin-rubbing thing. "Your parents came by the apartment today."

"Goody, what did they want?" I said sarcastically, smiling big and batting my eyelashes.

"They're worried about you. They think your acting out because you're in trouble."

"Acting out?" I asked my eyebrows just about hitting my hairline, acting out how and for what.

"Getting drunk at a family dinner." That wasn't my best move ever but Jonah and I were playing a game it wasn't from me acting out. "Not taking their calls or seeing them," Still not acting out I'd never wanted to take their calls or see them, why would you want to see or talk to someone who was nothing but mean to you, "And now you have a big b.u.mp on your forehead," I thought I did a pretty good job coving it up with make up, guess not. "And Jonah's face looks like some tried to beat the s.h.i.t out of him. Seriously Olivia I'm really worried about you."

"There is nothing to be worried about, I'm fine Ty."

"What happened to your head?"

s.h.i.t what did I say, I couldn't tell him the truth then he really would have a reason to be worried. Lord I was going to have to lie; I was so going to h.e.l.l for all the lying. "I ran into a door." Oh that was a good one I thought as Ty looked at me with disbelief and a hint of anger.

"You're such a liar. You know Olivia it's really easy to dig up dirt on just about anyone as long as you're digging in the right place. Don't make me dig up dirt on Jonah."

Holy s.h.i.t that was it, if I could dig up some dirt on Vinnie I could use it against him and make him let Jonah go.

"Olivia!" Ty screamed shaking my shoulders.

Umm ouch freaking b.u.mp on my head.

"What the h.e.l.l is going on?" Jonah yelled flying through the door shoving Ty away from me. "Olivia what's wrong baby?" Jonah asked pulling me off the bed and running his hand down my body searching for, well I wasn't really sure, I was wearing shorts and a tank top if I was injured it would be on display.

"Stop nothing's wrong." I said grabbing his hands before he could show Ty more than I'm sure he wanted to see.

"Then why was Ty screaming your name?"

"I was just thinking. Ty freaked out for nothing probably because you scared the s.h.i.t out of him the moment he walked through the door."

"d.a.m.n right I did. You have a head injury Olivia no way was I letting him up here without tell him the signs to look out for."

Forget the bubble wrap I'd already had enough. Time to grow a pair and show Jonah I would not be treated like a child.

Sliding my hand up to his chest slightly digging my nails into his skin I gave Jonah an evil smile, pushing him with all the strength I could Jonah fell back on to the bed. Straddling his hips I placed my hands on Jonah's very stunned face, "Let's get one thing straight Jonah I have a b.u.mp and bruise on my forehead but I am not hurt nor do I have a head injury. You want to treat me like I do," I said running one hand down the middle of his body. With wide eyes and a loud groan Jonah tried to grab my hand obviously knowing where I was going. "Then I will become your worst nightmare." To prove my point fully I grabbed his crotch a little too firmly. "Got it."

"Oh I got it." Jonah whispered in a husky voice flipping me onto my back. Turning his head to Ty he point his chin towards the door, "Goodbye Ty."

"Have fun Olivia." Ty yelled from the door sounding a little angry at being dismissed.

I would have yelled at Jonah for being rude but the green and yellow in his eyes were burning bright, his body was hard against mine and his tongue was wetting his lips.
