I place my plate down on the table and I clasp my hands on my lap as I look at her. “Yes, Mom, I am.” I reply. “Mom, you're standing here, being so disrespectful toward everyone. I met Hudson two years ago and he took my breath away. He made me feel something I have never felt before my life. I not only left, I moved to another state, every day for those two years he was all I thought about. He was my biggest regret. Imagine my surprise walking into your wedding celebration and you introducing him to me as my new stepbrother. It was as though fate had brought us back together. What you don’t seem to realize is that every day since your party he has made me feel loved. If I ever have a daughter, I would want someone to make her feel the way that Hudson makes me feel and the fact that you can't see that shows that you don't really give a shit about me. So please, Mom, I’m asking you nicely, please just go.” My voice is shaky, but it had to be said, right now I’m focusing on me, on what makes me happy and that’s Hudson.
She gasps. “Mia you’re brainwashed.”
Hudson’s had enough. “Tina, you can either leave by yourself or you can be escorted out. Either way your ass is getting out of my house now.”
Harrison grips Mom’s wrist, tugging on it as he leads her out of the house.
“Mia, fucking hell, I’ve never heard someone say something so beautiful”, Jagger says, a stupid grin on his face.
“Shut up,” I grumble, not really in the mood for praise.
“Princess, I love that you think that, but if we have a daughter, I can tell you that no man is ever getting with her,” Hudson tells me putting his arm around me and pulling me into his body.
“No one will ever get the chance to get that close, just as they won’t with Allie.” Jagger smirks.
“You two can’t be serious?”
“Deadly,” they reply in unison. “Mia, your mom said it, we’re criminals, we’ll kill anyone who hurts our women and children.”
I groan, god help Allie, she’s screwed having Jagger for a dad and Hudson for an uncle, I can envision them killing any potential partners she may have. “I’m going to finish my dinner and then watch a movie. I want to forget about what just happened,” I say, wanting all this shit to be over with.
“I’m up for a movie,” Jagger tells us with a smile, “Lethal weapon?”
I frown, “Don’t you want to go home to Sarah and Allie?”
He sighs. “I do, but they’re not there tonight. They’ve gone to spend the night with Frankie, they’re were at her mom’s today.”
“Oh God I can just imagine how that went.”
He nods. “She said it was okay, her mom seems to have changed.” He doesn’t seem to buy it. “We’ll see what happens, only time will tell.”
“Lethal Weapon?” he asks hopefully and I nod with a smile.
“Like we had any other choice,” Hudson tells him.
“You do have a choice, one, two, three, or four?” Jagger replies with a cheeky smile.
“Which one is Chris Rock in?” I ask, that’s my favorite.
“Four,” they respond together and I’m getting freaked out. “Four is my favorite too.” Hudson tells me, passing me my plate.
I don’t have the heart to tell him that I’ve lost my appetite. Jagger puts the movie on as the room descends in darkness, before the screen lights up. I place my plate back down on the table and bring my feet up onto the sofa and snuggle up against Hudson, it’s not long before I close my eyes and sleep takes over.
Banging breaks through my sleep, causing me to wake with a start. My hand reaches out and connects with Hudson’s bare chest. There’s that banging noise again, my hand shakes Hudson’s body and he groans, “Hudson.” I call, shaking him once again.
“Princess, what’s wrong?” He asks as his eyes pop open.
“Someone’s banging on the door,” I tell him and he immediately jumps out of bed, grabbing his pants and putting them on as he walks to the bedroom door. Swiping his t-shirt off the chair as he walks past it. “I’ll be back in a minute,” he tells me and I nod pulling the sheets up to my neck. I turn to the clock and see that it’s seven in the morning. God, who is calling at this time in the morning?
Hudson returns to the bedroom a couple of minutes later, his expression blank, I can’t read him but I do know that something has happened. “Hudson?” I ask, softly.
He walks over to the bed and sits down beside me. “I’m going to have to leave for a while. Someone’s been shot and I need to go to the hospital to check on them. I won’t be long.”
I nod. “Who is it? Are they going to be okay?”
“We’re not sure yet, it’s touch and go right now. Aaron is going to stay with you while I’m gone. Dad and Jagger aren’t here,” he says and I nod, I’ve met Aaron a few times, he seems nice, he respects Hudson a lot, it shows on his face every time he speaks to him.
“Okay, I hope that everything’s going to be okay,” I tell him, hating that someone else is hurt in this stupid feud.
