The Girl At His Door [Parts I & II]

Part II. Chapter-13

MERCURYS POV.

"No! I won't agree to that!"

"I wasn't asking for your permission Adaline."

"No! I have to try to make things right, and you won't even let me near her?!"

I clenched my eyes as I came back down the stairs, trying to drown out the shouting.

"The three of you are the last people I would trust with her. Don't act surprised."

   "Angelo, she's still my daughter!"

"Mom, just listen to him." I came into the conversation just as he was about to yell at her again.

    "Mercury-,"

"Mom, I don't feel comfortable with you anymore. And I feel the same way about your family."

   "Mercury, look I know you're upset." She looked straight at me. "But he's not the same as Warren. They're good people. You'd be safe."

   Yeah right.

"I don't trust any of you." I shrugged. "No one has given me a reason to trust any of you. I don't want to trust any of you. Just leave it alone."

    I knew she didn't want to hear those words leave my mouth, but I didn't care.

   She needed to hear the truth.

ANGELOS POV.

   "What happened up there?" I asked as I opened the car door up there.

  "Nothing." She shrugged.

Yeah right.

"Mercury." I warned.

I knew her well enough to know that she was avoiding telling me something.

  "Where's Gino?" The topic was easily changed.

Oh this isn't over.

It didn't take me long to see him.

  He was across the street, flirting with a fucking neighbor.

   I'm going to kill him.

"I'll be back." I shut her door.

    What a dumb bitch.

"Hey. I'm going to have to steal my brother here." I slung an arm around his shoulder. "His husbands mother just flew in and trust me, she's a handful." I winked before pulling him away.

    "What the fuck Angelo?" He fussed at me.

"You were out flirting instead of inside of that damn house? Really?" I shoved him towards the car.

 
    "Hey! I was just trying to find Mercury a godmother!" He attempted you defend himself.

   "Just get in the car you prick." I rolled my eyes.

   I should've been an only child.

"So I went out with this girl last night, smoking hot. All around."

   I was too busy watching Mercury through the rear view again.

 
She's too quiet.

"Ow! What the hell?" He asked after I gave him a sharp jab to the side.

  "Women aren't objects you dick head."
