Mariana's POV
"Stop" I laughed, unable to get free from Alfie's gold "No, just give me this" he said, twirling me around He insisted on a dance A dance that would definitely knacker his legs
"There's no music" I laughed "We'll make our own music" he said "You mean you'll hear opera music in your head" I teased
"Shut up and hum or something" he chuckled I thought about what to hum, what to dance to But as a song came to mind, all that filled the air was gunfire
Alfie pushed me down into the sofa "What the-" I looked up, Alfie slowly neared the window, peeking out, before a bullet shattered the glass "Fuck" he muttered "Who is it?" I asked
"Fucked if I know" he mumbled, making his way into the hallway I slowly neared the window myself, trying to see what was going on
The men we had stationed around the street, seemed to be in a war with a bunch of blokes wading in one end Who were they? Irene's men? Someone else?
"Here" Alfie said, handing me the gun from underneath the stairs "I know you like a fight but do not step foot out of this house" he warned, before he opened the front door I positioned myself in the window, shooting whoever I could
"Come here you fucking cunts" Alfie seethed, shooting anyone in his path as he worked down the street "Mum?" I heard Carter call "Go back to bed" I shouted
"What's go-" "Go back to bed! Now!" I shouted again When the gunfire eventually ceased And all of the opposing side had either been shot or ran... we were left with one thing. Questions
"I bet it were her" Alfie muttered, slamming the door "Got to be" he went on, throwing his gun down "We should have that permanently boarded up" I chuckled, looking at the window
Before sitting down exhausted "I heard today she was here. She got off the boat days ago" Alfie mumbled "And you didn't say anything?" I asked, rolling my head to the side to look at him
"I was going to. After we had a nice evening. She fucked that though didn't she?" He grumbled "No. Never been in a shoot off with you. It was quite fun" I teased, leaning over to kiss his cheek "Oh yeah?" He asked, pulling me onto his lap
"Mhm" I hummed, kissing him slowly I pulled away slowly, before he sighed, sitting back "We really have got to do something about her though, get her before she gets the jump on us. This was close" he explained
