Realistic or Modern Writing our Sins one at a time

He smiled and lifted her up to sit on the counter behind her. “Hold up beautiful. We got another hour before we gotta leave.” He told her.

Rick frowned shaking his head. “Munson do not take me for a fucking idiot.” He snapped. “I’m glad that’s worked out but when I say leave Gerry alone I mean leave him the fuck alone. Be glad nothing happened and if he tries something else then we will handle it but do not be stupid boy.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max squeaked when he picked her up and smiled wide "Oh right." She giggled before pecking his lips gently "Mmm you know I love you right?" She murmured

Eddie gave a dramatic sigh before nodding "Yes father." He muttered before pinching the bridge of his nose "I'll let it go this one time, but if it happens again there will be hell to pay."

 

[decadent-rider]

Rick sighed and shook his head. “Shit like this makes me glad I got them to let us bring Aaron back.” He muttered, discussing business with him a little longer before finally letting him go.

Carmen got home a little while later, setting her shopping bags down in their room and heading to find Eddie in his study. “Hey, I booked us a spa day for a couple days time. Way out of town. Couples massage the works. You need it.” She told him, pecking his cheek.

He nodded and smiled. “Mmm I do… you know that’s why I asked you to marry me right?” He chuckled, sighing when hee phone rang and he saw Richie’s name on the caller ID, rolling his eyes and stepping outside for a smoke.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie looked up at Carmen when she came in to the room and smiled happily at her "I ever tell you how much I love you? I don't know how I got so lucky." He murmured before reaching out for her to come to him.

Max smiled widely at him and then went wide eyed seeing Richie's name. She quickly picked up and immediately went in on him when she heard his voice. She stayed on the phone with him another ten minutes or so before she said goodbye as Aaron came back in "I'm going to strangle him the next time I see him I swear." She muttered to him.

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled. “You do… and it wasn’t luck. You came into the show with Gareth and demanded to see me afterwards. And I seem to remember you refusing to take no for an answer.” She pointed out. “I won’t lie Ed I thought you were a creep when I first met you.” She giggled some. “Go get cleaned up. We have company arriving soon.”

Aaron frowned and shook his head. “What did he do now?” He asked, acting clueless for now and just hoping Richie wouldn’t run his mouth.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie laughed lightly and gave a small shrug "I knew you were the one for me, what can I say?" He joked before getting up and pecking her lips gently before he went to get himself cleaned up like she had requested him to.

Max frowned some and shrugged "He said something came up and he had to leave town for a bit. Said it was last minute, I of course don't believe him but I won't push the subject any further. He is safe and thats what matters most to me." She explained before pulling him to her again.

 

[decadent-rider]

He sighed a little and shook his head. “He really should be in supervised accommodation yknow.” He muttered. “I don’t know why your parents never got him tested for anything.” He glanced at the time and nodded. “Alright. Let’s get ready to go.”

She smiled some, going to put her shopping away and get the dogs fed after double checking it hadn’t been done already, leaving our Eddie a suit as well to change into once he was ready.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max laughed lightly and got her things "If they had the money they might have." She said before taking his hand in hers walking out with him and swinging their hands some "So if everything goes well tonight...you going to let me have some fun?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows a bit at him.

Eddie got himself cleaned up and made his way downstairs to the smell of food cooking. He smiled some seeing Carmen sat at the island chatting with their cook "Hey beautiful, whats for dinner?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled. “No promises sweetheart.” He told her looking a little worn out considering he’d only done one job for Eddie so far.

She smiled and reached for him. “Alyssa is making us a really good risotto.” She told him, rubbing his back when he came to stand next to her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small frown and stopped him noticing how tired he looked "Hey. Hey look at me." She said softly cupping his face when he looked at her "Are you okay?" She asked with genuine concern.

Eddie smiled some "Mmm sounds delicious." He said sweetly before kissing her temple "You want something to drink?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and nodded. “Yeah I’m fine why?” He asked quietly. It was the bit he’d forgotten about. The part of working with Eddie he’d not liked. The exhaustion. Eddies energy was constantly up and Aaron was always trying to keep up with him and stop him from doing something stupid. The fact Aaron had been too exhausted to join him on the job he fucked up on wasnt just a coincidence and it was already concerning him a little

She shook hee head. “Not til they get here. Then we can open that bottle of Sauvignon blanc.” She told him. “Pairs well with the seafood risotto.” She smiled, winking at him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max sighed softly and gave a small nod "You got that tired look in your eyes again. I just want to make sure you don't burn out like last time." She said softly. She knew the job was draining, but the last time it had caused him to collapse at the house. He'd pushed himself too far and she had begged him to stay behind that day the job went wrong.

Eddie nodded and smiled a bit "I'm glad you know all this wine stuff, because I sure the hell don't." He teased as he lent against the island watching her some "You're beautiful, you know that?"

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded “I have a great tool at my fingertips. See when you take out your phone… and you type into Google a question, you can find out.” She teased him.

He shook his head “listen I’m probably just a little out of sorts still from being poisoned. I mean it took me long enough to get on my feet at all let alone working again. I’ll be alright. Promise.” He smiled, “we’re gonna be late we better head out.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie rolled his eyes and laughed again "And see I thought it was all that time spent in Italy." He teased before going to the door when he heard a knock.

Max gave a small nod and pecked his lips "Okay babe, lets go." She murmured before getting in the car with him. Once they arrived she held Aaron's arm as he knocked and smiled as Eddie opened the door "Hey Ed, thanks for having us!"

 

[decadent-rider]

Aaron stepped inside with her and nodded to him. “Everything’s sorted.” He told him and headed to the lounge, seeing Carmen walking out of the kitchen.

She smiled, stepping into the hallway to see them heading to the lounge. “Ed have you offered our guests a drink yet?” She asked him, as milo f a little teasingly

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie looked over at Carmen and gave her a small smirk "Sorry, must have left my manners back at Wayne's trailer." He teased "You guys want something to drink? Food should be done here soon."

Max gave a small smile to Eddie and Carmen before nodding "Some water would be great." She said sweetly before taking Aaron's hand in hers she sat with him.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen sorted them drinks and took them out to the lounge, taking a seat next to one of the dogs, running g hee fingers through his fur. “You guys settling into the house okay?” She asked

Aaron nodded, crossing his leg over and leaned back. “Getting there. We’ll probably unpack and then immediately find a new place that we like more. But it’s easy and it will do for a rushed move back here.” He smiled

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max laughed lightly and nodded some "I think its definitely a njce place for such a short turn around. We're just happy to be home in Chicago." She said happily before taking a sip of her drink

Eddie smiled some and nodded "We're glad to have you both back here." He said giving a small smile. They sat there for a little longer just talking to one another until the food was now ready.

 

[decadent-rider]

Aaron walked with them to the dining room and sat down to eat, waitin for Carmen to get back from sorting the dogs and chuckled “what is nice is in the city there’s a lot more to do, keeps the wives busy much more than the small town life. Keeps them out of our hair more.” He chuckled with Ed a little, keeping an arm
Around the back of maxs chair right as Carmen walked in.

Carmen stood once Alyssa let her know it was ready, taking the dogs to have their dinner as well before joining the others in the dining room and taking her seat, listening to the conversation for now. “I don’t much care for jokes about women yknow. I find them tasteless.” She told Aaron, staring him dead on before turning to her food. “What isn’t tasteless however is this food. Ed you really should pay her more. I will always say Alyssa is dad too humble.” She smiled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max rolled her eyes at Aaron's remarks but leaned into him some "Mmm I bet you love that." She teased him before pulling away some once the food was placed infront of them.

Eddie chuckled trying to lighten up the mood a bit when he saw the look Aaron was giving Carmen "Maybe I will. You know, maybe you and Max could go on a shopping day sometime. Get to know one another." He said trying to change up the subject quickly and stear away from the business side of their lives.

 

[decadent-rider]

Aaron scoffed a bit at that. “I don’t think we got the budget for your kinda shopping Ed.” He chuckled, taking a sip of his wine and tensed a little when she immediately retorted. He waited til they were finishing up and max had gone to the car, frowning a little. “Ed who is she? Cause I know I told you she’s good for you but that’s not how the women around us behave…. Where did you find her?”

Carmen,a head snapped up and glared at him for a moment. “I usually use my own funds for shopping. I’m not a gold digger.” She muttered, still choosing to stare him down but stopped once Eddie interjected. “But that would be nice. I’m sure we could arrange it.” She smiled at max, enjoying dinner the rest of the time until they were both leaving and Carmen was heading up to get ready for bed, taking her jewellery off by her mirror.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie rubbed the back of his neck when Aaron came to him after dinner "Met her at a club. She was dancing and we hit it off." He explained before shrugging some "She is just very headstrong and independent." He murmured before telling him goodbye. Once he was in their room and frowned deeply at Carmen "I know I don't tell you what to do, but you need to watch what you say around Aaron."


Max smiled softly when she saw Aaron come out to the car after dinner. She took his hand in hers and sighed happily "That was a nice dinner." She murmured before kissing his knuckles.

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded slowly. “Eddies fucking hiding something from me.” He muttered, starting the car and driving them home

She rolled her eyes a little and sighed. “I get he’s your best friend but I’m not gonna be disrespected in my own home.” She muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned a bit and sighed heavily "I'm sure its nothing that could hurt you Aaron." She murmured to him

Eddie shook his head "I'm serious Carmen. Aaron isn't as stupid as you may think. He knows something is up, you need to watch what you say before he catches on that you're from this life." He told her seriously

 

[decadent-rider]

She scoffed at that and shook her head. “I meant what i said.” She muttered, going to take her makeup off but frowned when he grabbed her arm.

He nodded. “I think you’re right but doesn’t mean I’m not worried about it. Cause Eddie doesn’t think before he does shit.” He muttered, parking in their garage when they got back and headed inside, taking her hand and pulling her in close. “Go wait for me in bed. I’m just gonna lock hp okay?” He smiled.
