After everybody got changed, a head count was done to make sure that all of Richie's men were here and alive, which they was and with almost double the amount of money that was originally lost back in the bank account and their rivals warehouse burnt to the ground this meant big celebrations were in order.
Richie gave a very respectful speech to his men and told them all that they would be rewarded generously with a big payment in their banks by the morning. He then personally served us all drinks on the house, and that's when the party began. Just as I finished talking to Callum I felt my hand being taken, Richie's fingers interlinked with mine as he stood by the side of me, I couldn't get used to it, every time he touched me felt just as exciting as the first time he had done it,

"Welcome her to the family then Cal, go on" Richie's smile touched his eyes,

"She's gonna be a part of us?"

"Well yeah. Thought I'd tell ya first, before filling in the lads"

"But Jada, you won't have time for your university studies?" He looked at me unsure,

"This is the life I want Callum" I nervously smiled at my knight in shining armour, no, fuck that... my Joker, my Mr. J,

"But you're gonna throw away all of ya education, all that hard work? For this? A smart girl like you? Rich come on mate, you can't do this to her. What if it was your sister?"

"She's gonna do what she's gonna do, and as her older brother you're gonna support whatever she decides, ain't cha, Cal?" This wasn't a request, and Callum knew it, I could see it in Richie's dominant glare,

"Right you are Richie" he backed down,

"So we approve. Lovely jubilee. Right! Everyone! EVERYONE!" He suddenly shouted and everyone quickly quietened down,
"Now I know I just spat out a few precious paragraphs from my Gang And Mob (gob/mouth) but... I think there's something you all should know..." he got his glass of whiskey from the bar and jumped up on top of one of the tables, everyone looked up, grinning at him, waiting for the leader of the pack to speak,
"So... we all know what happened tonight. I'm a tuff man, ok? I handle myself, alright. But somethin' carried on after I sent you all on ya merry way... this little ocean pearl (girl) saved my Niagara Falls (balls) because for the first time in my life I was about to be caught off guard! I was about to be shot from some Jam Roll (Arsehole) that somebody failed to finish off. Now, if it wasn't for Jada here, I wouldn't be stood here right now, going on with myself, so I'm officially welcoming her into our family and I'd like for you all to do the same, alright?!"
Literally everybody stood up and cheered and then they all came over, everybody hugging me, I looked up at Richie who was smiling down on me, holding up his glass with the brightest glint in his eyes,
"I'm raising my glass of frisky (whiskey) and I want you all to get ya drinks and make our Jada here feel welcome, and ya look after here like she's the queen mother d'ya' hear?!"  I couldn't stop laughing as a group of them picked me up and threw me about like I weighed absolutely nothing! They raised me up high enough so I could clink my glass with Richie's, and then he unsuspectingly bent down and pecked me on my lips in front of everyone!
"Now if you excuse me I'm off to take a piss then Do The Franky's (leave)"
When he got down from the table everyone kind of pushed us together so they could all surround us, we all jumped around all arm in arm, I loved this! LOVED IT!!! I'd never felt so accepted in my WHOLE. ENTIRE. LIFE. I felt like royalty! Richie ducked down and pulled me out of riffraff, both of us laughing breathlessly as he stole me from the show.

"Are we leaving?" My nerves and excitement peaked as we slipped out of the door unnoticed!

"Nothing slips past you does it" he joked,
"I reckon its time to get you back to your Gaff"
