"Well cmon! Get dressed, less you wanna dance like that in which case I won't mind." He laughed and jumped up and smiling at her.
(Fuckin hell man. I was mostly inside but this guy wants this bar built and its nearly done. But its 105 and it was even hotter in the garage that he wanted the bar in)
As they dance he kisses her head and rests his chin on her head, "This is like a dream....being with the one I love and having a nice dance with her." He sighs, "It's a great day."
He laughed, "Oh well I don't think I can bring myself to hurt your feelings, hun." As the song ended the dj began to report on the shootout last night. Reporting that the only one kept alive was the boss leader himself, by the name of Vadim Sidorov. Alex walked over to change the radio, "Heh...we don't need that."
He sighed, "You know...there were several times where I sat at your performances and just thought maybe I should drop out of this, live a normal life and try to get a normal boring job. I still have that question. And its pushing me more and more to drop everything just to protect you."
"I would!" he said looking back to her but looks to the side, "But I can't. I want to help you live your life. And sadly being nice doesn't help me make cash for you. But this? Runnin' a bar? It brings in money for us to live and eat where ever we want. High risk, high rewards kind of deal...but what happened yesterday...only made me want to quit more."
"Which is another thing as well." he sits down and puts his face in his hands "One answer to that would be, 'Well why don't I just live you?' And that would be because I don't have any weapons here, and it'd look pretty suspicious if two people just ran off one day after the house was shot up and mafia men were dead outside on the lawn. And if you lived with me, I'd be well armed but still. Same scenario." He grunts and just looks up at her, "They just want the bar because they don't think I should have it simply because of my skin." he paused, "W-why are you with me? I just wanted to show you a good time? I mean I just was helping you out...and then...things just took off and..."
"And I love you too. But...now you too are a target to everyone. You're in my shoes now..." he held his head, his mind racing as he remembers all of the things he had to go through that might be pushed on her for simply being with him. The veins on his hands began to show themselves as his grip on his head tightens as he realizes how much he's messed up, they'll kill her if he stays, they'll kill her if he leaves. There was no in or out.
He looked at her then stood up and caressed her cheek then kissed her, "Sorry...call me selfish...but I want to be with you till the end of days, and even then I'll fight like hell to keep you safe." He kisses her once more then chuckled, "So you'll have to be stuck with this ugly mug." He smiled at her.
(Oh if it happens again he'll probably drop out. But there arent just the russians. Its other bars too now. Could be anyone. One boss made a move on another. That means the boss that was attacked had an open weakness for all to attack easily)
