Getting Close To The Gangleader

Chapter 6

The Next Day...

I wake up and look around me to see that I'm back in my room. I stretch and pick up my phone. When I look at the time I jump up out of bed and get ready in a hurry. I throw on a random shirt and jeans, put a pair of sneakers on and tie my hair up in high ponytail. I exit my bedroom and begin my search for Aaron.

"Aaron? Where are you?"

"I'm in the game room."

I jog over there and see the room is filled with a bunch of guys.

"Good morning boss. You know it's one o'clock and you're just waking up."

"I'm aware. Guys can you give Aaron and I a minute to speak with him?"

They get up and walk out of the room. I close the door and have a seat next to Aaron.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier and what did you do about Zander?"

"I wanted you to rest and I told him to stay away. I told him his sister and himself could be put in danger, hopefully it works."

"Thank you for everything. Since day one you've always been there for me and I know that I can count on you."

"Aww, are you getting all sentimental? You're welcome Ana. I told you we're best friends and I'd do anything to protect you."

He extends his arms out and I crawl over onto his lap. He wraps his arms around me and I snuggle into his chest. I close my eyes and just relax into him. We stay like that for a while and then a flash of light goes off. I open my eyes and frown when I see the guys in the room.

"What the hell? Did you guys just take a picture of us?"

"Yeah. Look, you guys look cute!" He shows me the picture and I pretend to still be mad when he shows me it.

"I thought I told you guys to wait outside."

"Nope. You just said to give you guys a minute and it's been more than a minute."

"Whatever. Send me the picture. If you guys need me call me, I'm planning on taking Gabriel out."

I get out the room and go towards Gabriel's room. My phone dings and I pull it out to see that it's the picture they took of Aaron and I. I smile when I look at it and save it. I forward it to Aaron and write,

'We do look cute.' 

A couple minutes later I get a response.

'Of course we do.'

I park the car and get out. I open the door for Gabriel and Aaron gets out. He decided to tag along when I told him where we were going to go. Gabriel runs ahead of us eager to go paint balling and calls out to us.

"Hurry up! You guys are walking like turtles. No, actually turtles would be going faster than you!"

"Go slower." I whisper to Aaron. He smirks and we both start walking at a much slower pace. We both hold our laughter as Gabriel looks at us like he's about to beat us.

"Okay okay. We're going, calm down."

"Ugh, finally. I thought I was going to be an old man by the time you guys got here."

We get dressed and after a long debate of who would pay I pay and Aaron stands next to Gabriel with a frown on his face. I smirk and walk ahead of them. We're on the same team and we're going against another three players. We enter the arena and hide behind a wall as we try to form a strategy. Gabriel listens to us intently as he had a serious face on.
