Friendly Fire, More Than Flames of Passion[Vampire07]

The sight of her laugh was infectious, causing Angel to laugh some as well. He thought nothing of the cheek thing even though he knew it was something he rarely did. He just didn't see it as that big. He did enjoy the feel of her skin for something other than something that dealt with battle or war. The sight of her redden cheeks causes a smile to come to his face. He wanted to tell her how well that suit her, but he decided to let it go and just keep that to himself.

Angel wasn't sure where their friendship was and maybe she did see him as just her guardian or friend. Granted she was like a baby sister to him, but he would have to be a fool if he didn't notice her form and beauty. All accompanied by the thought that hey weren't actually related, things he had to force from his mind. "I guess you can come to my room to get something to wear then. I don't think you want me to pick." He said with a grin on his face that could leave one to think he was talking about the collar again. However he just found himself laughing some and taking a step back.

With his head tilted to the side, he listened to her feelings which caused him to grin. It seemed she didn't know a nice big piece of information that was important to her. But he was address the other things first. "I mean to say, you are on equal footing with the rest of the soldiers. Only me, Tony, Trey, and Troy can order you around." He laughed when he realized what she said. "And Tony ain't got no damn good temper. He's like a dog on a leash. When I am around, he is calm and relaxed. When I'm gone, he can flip out over the smallest things." Thats how he was around Tyree and old man Carter, knowing they wouldn't allow such disobedience in front of them.

"Oh and Travis was a fed." Angel said like it was nothing as he motions her to follow and began out of the room towards his chambers. So he was sure that no one would be that bothered he had been taken care of.
 
Her eyes went wide when he told her he was a Fed so Travis was using her as she was using him in a sense. Sighing as she crawled off the bed with her arms stretched up and back over her head like in the old times.

"I'm such a fool. Either way he was fated to die." She looked to the ceiling but she could hear the men chatting about some things and how they noticed Angelo was protective over her. Aiko smirked as she thought only if his men knew of their history. Moving to Angelo's side as he entered through the double doors of his bedroom. She knew he was kidding bout the leash and collar but there were times she wasn't so sure about it.

Moving into his bedroom to see it was larger than she expected. The bed looked to fit five people or more if the person who owns it wished it. Aiko ventured past Angelo to the windows to see it over looked a peaceful of nature. It didn't matter to her if it was man made but the grass was green, the trees provided shade as she can see a large pool in the back.

"Wow, I never expected this of the Carter family." She said amazed as her eyes took in every sight there was possible. Curious as she looked over her shoulder at Angelo to see him standing there. "Is there more to this estate? Like gun ranges...Or perhaps stables and gardens." She had to admit since she got out she resorted to things that were peaceful and she lived like that until the Crescent Family located her. From there she was suffering to keep some men alive. Slowly she walked over to him as her skin was stained with blood, bruises and cuts but that didn't stop her from standing before Angelo. "Lead me to your unwanted shirts!" She was trying to lighten the mood but normally she was the type to sit back and stay quiet though for some reason she felt the need to speak up and try something different.
 
"Odd, you saved his life and took it." Angel said as he lead her out the room only to explain. "The party was suppose to be his last day. Him and his grandmother, if she wasn't lucky." He told her with no concern if the old woman ended up in the crossfire. "But when I saw him with you, I figured he was your man. So I took the price from his head until I figured things out." He told her only to laugh some as he grabs the knobs to the dual white pained oak doors only to push them both open to reveal the room. The room was completely white, from the furniture to floor and walls. The bed massive king size bed was on a small rise, two steps to get up on it.

Four white bedpost helped to frame the thing. Decorated with white pillows, covers, and shits that happened to be the softest material money could buy. On both sides of the bed were end tables. On the left wall there was a dresser that had a mirror standing on it. A door was on either side of it. The door on the far side lead into the private bathroom while the one on the other side lead into the large walking closet.

On the right side of the room there stood a vanity cabinet and on the far side of that was two double glass doors that lead out to the balcony. There was a lounge chair, a small table and two chairs placed out on it. There were also chairs in the bedroom. Three white Victorian chairs with gold frames. There was one on either side of the hallway entrance and one in the corner by the vanity cabinet. There was no tv or anything like that, if he was bored he could bring his own entertainment to the room.

Hearing her question, Angel found a small smile on his features. "The Carter family owns a stable and gun range, but stable isn't on the land. Just a garden to the right of the pool.The gun range is in the basement. " The balcony actually over looked the pool and garden which gave it an nice relaxing view. Watching her come back towards him, he couldn't help but raise a brow at her upbeat attitude but it did feel off. "I don't give you hand-me-downs. You get the good stuff." He said before pointing towards his dresser. "Undershirts are in there." He then opens the doors to his closet which was just as nice as the room.

The room was big enough to have an island counter in the middle of the room and a place to sit at either end of it. Each wall was divide into two as well as the wall directly across from the entrance. On left closest were suits pants and bottoms. Next to that was the suit tops and shirts. On the right closet to the door was the casual bottoms with the tops next to that. The wall directly across from them held the dress shoes on the left with tennis and boots on the right. The island held jewelry and sunglasses that he rarely wore, most of them gifts.

"Find something. But wash up before you put anything on." Angel told her as he heads back into his room and peels the shirt from his body. He needed to take a shower and get into some comfortable house clothes now that he thought about it. He felt no shame as he began to undress in his room, they were close enough to each other. And thanks to the time they served, they seen much more of one another.
 
Her up beat attitude was a way to lighten things up abit though she followed him to his closet only to see his closet was a walk in closet. Shocked at the size and the collection he had but she went over to his dresser and opened up the drawers to see some of his under shirts. The more she thought about it perhaps the happy go lucky type of personality wasn't her thing. Blowing the strands of hair up out of her eyes to see Angelo stripping down with her in his room. True, they've been naked around each other but she was always under the water not allowing him the chance to see her naked form. Smiling as he told her to get cleaned up first before pulling one of the under shirts on.

With his shirts in her arms she walked to the door before looking over at him. "Mind sending the Doctor over after I bathe? I'd like help to redress the bandages." She said softly before leaving his room but she shut the double door behind her.

Silently she went to her room where she was staying. There she left the door ajar with her finding the guest bathroom. Smiling softly as she tossed the shirts onto the bed before disappearing into the bathroom. There she pulled the curtain closed around the tub and started the hot water. Sighing softly as she bit her lower lip with her getting undressed then undressing the blood soaked bandage.

Trembling as she stepped into the shower as she ran the soft clothes over her tender form to wash all of the blood away. She took her time at it but when she was done she grabbed a towel that was left nearby. After drying off she wrapped the towel around her body and ventured out to her room wondering if Angelo was going to send the doctor to make sure her wounds weren't infected nor torn open. Looking around the room as locks of her wet black hair stuck to her neck as she went over to the window where the sun warmed her exposed skin.
 
Did Angel want to see Aiko in a happy upbeat mood? Of course. Why wouldn't he want his closest friend to be relax and enjoy herself. But there was no way he would want her to force something like that. He wanted it to be natural, genuine, and not some mask she was wearing just to make him feel better. He stood there in his boxers now when he heard her speak of sending the doctor by. He nodded his head while trying to see what it was that she had picked.

Angel didn't expect her to find anything sexy to wear, but he figured whatever she picked would have him stunned. He was sure that whatever she picked would fit and look tons better on her than it would on him. "Sure." Was all he said in reply as he watched her leave the room. He picked up the phone on the left side of the bed and called down to the front to put that order in. Afterward he would go and take himself a nice warm shower to wash the crime and death of the day off his body. Once done he exited the bathroom and returned to his bedroom to dry himself off before getting dressed.

Out of all the fine clothes Angel owned, his attire was simple and basic. He picked a black wife beater that fit him like a second skin and a pair of cotton pajama pants to wear around the house. Leather slippers cover his feet once he finished brushing his teeth and putting on some lotion. Soon he made his way down the hall to see Dr. Jills entering the room ahead of him. "You called?" Dr.Jills asked the young later with his bag in his hand. He paused though when he noticed she was just wearing a towel. He loved his job to the fullest.

Angel came to stand in the doorway to Aiko's current room with his shoulder leaning against the doorframe. He folds his arms across his chest to watch his close friend and the doctor. He was curious to see how she was doing. If it was too bad, she would be rushed to the hospital before she even knew it.
 
She was lost in her own train of thought but heard Dr. Jills entering her room. The sun's rays was drying her hair at this point but she turned slightly to face Dr Jills.

"Yes, I was wondering if you could make sure my wounds didn't reopen on the way here and perhaps...Help me rebandage them?" She said with a smile to him as she lowered the towel to her waist then tighten the towel around her waist as she covered her breasts with one arm and raised her hair in the other hand.

On her bed was Angelo's under shirts. They were simple as some ranged from white to black but she didn't bother to grab any bottoms because she thought it was best of her to stick to her room as she healed. Her eyes moved to the left to see Angelo standing there with his arms crossed over her shoulder. Smirking as she called over to him.

"Angelo, mind stepping inside and shutting the door. I don't want the rest of your gang getting a free show." She said with a smile to him but she remained relaxed so it wouldn't put stress on her body any further.
 
The doctor felt his eyes moving over her figure and even more so when she lowered the towel. At that point he was wondering why he hadn't gone into plastic surgery, not that she needed it. But it would give him the chance to see forms like this more often or at least have a hand in creating it. Hearing her request, he gave a node of his head. "Sure and I have some cream to rub onto your wounds. This should help with the healing." He told her while placing his bag on the bed only to pull out the gauze and the ointment he had told her about.

"Come come." The doctor ushered her over so he could do his job and leave her bed. Most the house was slowing down with most the members heading back to their own places. Some just camping out downstairs or something, either too tired to leave or worried that something else might happen. So the doctor saw this as his last thing to do before going home. His own pride as a doctor and fear of his boss would ensure that his last job was a good one.

A smirk came to Angel's face when he heard her remark only to say. "With a body like yours, I'm sure they'd pay." He teased as he pulls the doors clothes. Oddly enough this room had been modeled much like his own only with black silver instead of the pure white. Because of the position of the room, it lacked a balcony though. The bed also had four posts with black drapes hanging from them.

In truth, Angel was glad she spoke to him, he had lost his train of thought when she dropped her towel. Her voice helped him realize who he had been looking at. Of course he had seen her body before but it still managed to stun him every time. He closed the door behind himself and moved over to the window to lean against its edge while he waited.
 
Aiko ventured closer to Dr Jills as she noticedhis eyes staring at her form. This was professional anyways. Aiko stood close to him to allow him to apply the ointment and the bandages on her. The truth was she was scared if she tried it by herself she may rip the stitches out. With her unable to help Dr Jills she looked over at Angelo seeing him standing next to the window looking comfortable in his settings. She'd didn't think he'd be here when she was being treated. Smiling as she looked away from him with her finger tips pressing into her soft flesh.

In the past when they were doing their rounds she'd see the forgein women stare at Angelo then giggle behind their hands. Back then Aiko gotten jealous and she didn't know why exactly. To this day she doesn't even know why but lucky fo rher she'd calm down enough not to lose her temper.

From a woman's point of view who doesn't know Angelo very well may think he was one of the good hearted men. Aiko knew otherwise now atleast. Aiko stood there looking down as Angelo kept running through her mind once again trying to decode him. When she got an answer she kicked that one aside thinking it wasn't the right one. With her standing there partially naked she started to get cold as her body began to tremble. "Are you done Dr Jills?" She asked in a soft voice before she looked at him.
 
Angel watched her with a smirk on his face. He remembered when she first entered his unit's barracks back then. A place with mostly guys walking around in their boxers or completely nude from their shower. Of course when at base she had her own private area, but the sight of her was still rare. They were rude, lewd, and chauvinistic males. Angel was in his own world reading a book when one of his soldier decided to mess with her in pretending to be him.

Odd that the two of them never got a long very much and always ended up finding. Then again, that made sense giving that day. He was hard on her, for reasons he didn't fully understand, and to think it was the two of them that were always paired together. The strange thing is that the same reasons he thought she wasn't fit to be a commander or that could make her a bad soldier. They happen to be the things he liked about her as a person. She was strong, bold, a fighter, and headstrong. Just to image that all this was wrapped into a body like hers with a face of a model and brains suited for more than a soldier. Granted these were things that he most likely wouldn't and never would tell her.

Angel knew they were friends but wondered in what regards? Were they still commander and subordinate? Family like a brother and sister relationship? Or mentor and pupil? Whatever it was, he was glad something existed between the two of them.

Dr.Jills had wore gloves as he rubbed the ointment on her skin and wrapped the gauze nicely around her form. He pinned it to one another to make sure it was all neatly in place. By the time she was asking him if he was done, he had already removed his clothes and was closing his bag. "Spaced out?" He asked with a smirk and raised brow. "My girlfriend does the same when I touch her." The man gave a nice laugh which Angel couldn't help but join into with a shake of his head. "But everything is good. Just don't over do it for the next week and change the gauze regularly." He told her as he bows his head to Angel and began to the door only to pause and add.

"Oh and you don't have to call me for that, unless you prefer my touch. For the first few days someone else can do it and after that if you think you're up to you, you should be able to. Goodnight and sweet dreams." Dr.Jills finished and headed out the door as Angel wished him safe travels.
 
She did space out but when he teased her about her prefering his touch. Laughing softly as she turned to face him but didn't move to smack him upside his head. Listening to him informing her that she can change it for now on. Shaking her head as she went over to the bed side where she waited for Dr Jills to leave. When he did she let the towel drop to the floor not thinking Angelo would see her naked for once.

Grabbing a white shirt as she slipped it over her head. She gave it a gentle tug and saw it fell right under her buttocks. The shirt formed to her curves as she turned to Angelo.

The first day she met him she didn't believe who he was since one of the men pretended to be him then destroyed any positive opinions she would have on him. Either way the truth was found out but she still didn't have a complete positive opinion of him.

Now here they were in this mansion together and parterned up for this under world. Her steps were silent as she walked over to his side looking out over the grounds eith her arms crossed over her stomach. Her mind was blank as she didn't know what to say to him at this point. A thought came to mind as she rubbed the back of her calf with her foot. "Thanks for the loans, Angelo."
 
With another bow, Dr.Jills left the room and made his way back home to his girlfriend. A woman who thought he was some rich and famous doctor and not at the whim of a local crime lord.

Angel moved towards the door to make sure it was locked since he knew she was about to get dressed. However he figured she'd ask him to leave and not just bare herself before him like that. His feet were slow in taking him back to the window since his focus was caught on something else. The sight of her body, even with the gauze, was still something stunning. Things seemed different though than the other times he had seen her bare. This wasn't some tent where they had to quickly dress or their barracks.

It wasn't some bathroom or hotel room in the middle of one of their missions. At the moment they were just two civilians which made this feel very different than before. Maybe Angel was just thinking too much about it. He should just clear his mind and enjoy things for the moment. Hopefully at least for the week, things would be calm and relaxed. When she came to join him by the window, he turned to look out of it feeling no pressure about the moment.

Angel glanced to her at what she said only to lightly bump her forehead with the bottom of his head. He made sure not to hit her hard since he wasn't looking to cause her much damage, actually none at all. "Stop making me worry about you." He shook his head only to let out a sigh as he leans close to place an affectionate kiss to her forehead. His right hand resting a the small of her back for a moment. "You are still a pain." He confessed before parting from her and going to the bed to sit upon its edge. "But thats why I love you." He told her as he picks up the phone to order himself something to eat. "Chinese or pizza?" He asked her.
 
She was grateful when he locked th edoors when she let the towel drop to the floor. When she stood there naked she didn't bother her since in the past she did walk in front of Angelo in her panties and bra or did a nake dodge when it came to changing clothes. Aiko smiled at the memories but looked up to get thumped on the forehead.

"Hey!" She went to push him but he caught her by surprise when he kissed her forehead. Standing there in shock as her hands were on his chest. The feeling of his hand on the small of her back made her tense her body up. This was something she didn't expect to come from him. Was there something between them? Coming back to her senses as she watched him go over to her bed to order something to eat. Smiling soflty as she sat down in one of the chairs.

"Chinese sounds good." She did hear him say he loved her but she wasn't going to think beyond that. He may love her in a sense that they fought together in the past. Gathering her hair over her shoulder as she began to braid it wondering why exactly he was staying in her room when it was locked. More importantly he could be down stairs and doing business. Though Aiko did enjoy his company and it was nice in her eyes. When she was in her apartment or with the Cresecent family she was alone. Bringing her knees up to her chest as she wrapped her arms around her knees. Though she winced when her stomach growled and cramped.

"Ow..." She reached down and rubbed her stomach. She smirked as she looked back over at Angelo getting the feeling he heard it. "I guess its been awhile since I've eatten anything."
 
Angel actually thought nothing of it. "Whatcha want?" He asked her once she agreed to the chinese and went along with his order as he waited for her. "Get me some extra spicy szehchuan chicken with shrimp fried rice, crab meat wantons, and some shrimp egg rolls, along with a root beer soda." He told the kitchen staff who was going to actually put the order in. "Oh and if there is anyone else here, order them some pizzas." He told the woman and waited for what Aiko wanted. If she told him, he would relay the message to the woman on the other end of the phone and if she couldn't decide he'd just get double szehchuan chicken.

"Oh and have it brought to the theater room." He told the woman who took down the order and said her farewell. Angel rose after he finished placing the order only to pause and raise a brow at the sounds in her stomach. She was in for another thump to the forehead but let her slide this once. "C'mon. I got that new Avatar and Book of Eli down in the theater." It was clear he wasn't asking her, telling her they were going to do that besides just sit there and stare at each other. The view would be better than he could ask for, but a bit strange and awkward if you ask him. So his hand reaches out to grab a hold of hers to pull her along.

"It'll do you some good." Angel told her as he hooks her arm around his only to take her down two flight of stairs. He paused when he heard a lot of talking and laughing, so he looked into the game room. A large place that held a pool table, large screen tv for the video games, and even some Arcade machines. Not to mention the vending machines for snacks, they actually had to use their money for, and a stage with a stripper pool. The room was filled with maybe a dozen or so people who was enjoying their success and survival of the day. "The chief is ordering yall a pizza. I'ma be in the theater, don't break my shit." He said the moment everyone realized he was there and fell silent.

The man smiled and nods their heads. "Thanks, boss." A few said and with that they headed into the double doors at the end of the hall. It looked like an actually theater but with soft recliner chairs that were so soft they seemed to swallow you. "Go sit down while I put one of them on." Angel told her as he went into a backroom to get things started.
 
Smiling as she reclined back in the chair hen he asked what she wanted. "Beef with mushrooms and chicken friend rice." Hearing him tell them to bring the food to the theater room. Thankfully he didn't thump her on her head when he heard her stomach growling. "Whoa..." She put her hands up in front of her as she was just wearing a shirt and nothing else. Feeling him grabbing her hand then yaanking her out of her chair.

Dr Jills was a good doctor for doing great work on her wounds. Instead of lagging behind where anyone behind her could see her tight round ass, she stuck close to Angelo. There she reached behind her to pull the shirt down a little bit more when she heard the men shouting. The sight of their "game" room was shocking. The pool table brought back fond memories of when she was a kid but when she saw the stripper pole, she looked away from the men.

With Angelo addressing them she stepped behind Angelo enough to keep herself covered. She thought the men weren't excited about the pizza but it could have been her presence that made them uneasy. Finally she let go of the tail of the shirt and grabbed onto Angelo's arm. The side of her face rested against his arm for a split moment before the pair left his men. Staying silently as she looked at the covered walls but she still had a grasp on his arm. "Hm?" She looked up when he pulled away from her; nodding ot his suggestion as she went to the rows of seats. "Um Angelo why did you yank me from the room when I'm wearing just a shirt?" She called out to him as she sat down in one of the soft chairs.
 
Actually they were confused mostly. She had transformed into three different people and it was hard to connect her with either of them. First she was dressed to kill in her gown at the party. Second she dawned a pinstripe suit and looked like some gangster out of an old Italian movie. And lastly she was dressed in a white shirt with that left little to the imagination, no makeup and her hair down. They were unsure if she was the woman that was brought in earlier or another RA their boss had brought in. Random ass that is.

It was clear Angel didn't care, even as they whispered to each other to try to convince them of their opinion. With that, they made it into the theater where he put on Book of Eli first and how could he not? Denzel whipping ass was a sight to see. Of course he wasn't no fangirl to drool over every movie he was in, but he had to admit the man was badass in his movies. The lights dimmed until going completely off, only the small bulbs in the floor to light the path to the doors could be seen. Just barely at that so not to take away from the movie.

Soon the projector started up to broadcast the move onto the large screen that took up the entire wall before them. "Maybe when you feel better we can go out to the theaters." Angel told her as he returned to slip in next to her. He lifted the arm rest to reveal a console where he placed the remote and pressed a button to cause the leg rest to engage. His seat leans back some as the leg rest comes up, lifting his feet up as it did. "I hope you like the movie and dinner should be here shortly." He told her as he raises the armrest between them, that one was just a normal one, to make sure there was nothing hindering them. Not like he was going to try anything, he just didn't like the feel of separation. Soon the opening trailers began to start and he sat there silently as he watched.

Hearing her question a grin came to his face as he slides his arm around her to pull her close. "Because you look so damn good, I had to show you off." He teased with that grin relaxing into a small smile. "And I couldn't bare giving you a chance to cover up anymore." He told her before releasing her so she could pull away if she wanted.
 
The sudden movement made her fall back into her chair causing her to laugh softly. Her laughter died down when he mentioned about them going to the movies. Shifting her body around but winced as the muscles pulled at her wounds. Hating the fact she was usless as she settled back in the chair to see him lifting the arm rest that was between them. Smirking softly as she thought he didn't like to be alone.

"Oh thanks....Remind me to punish you when I'm healed up." She said with a smile as she looked to the large screen seeing the trailers coming up. The sight of the men sitting there did make her curious. Shaking her head slightly to push the thought out of her mind. When the air conditioner kicked on she felt the cold air currents hitting her bare legs. Slowly she crawled over to Angelo and rested her head onto his shoulder with her hand resting on his thigh. She never got to see the Book of Eli before so this would be interesting.

Though one thought crossed her mind. What was she going to do about clothes? She didn't want him to spend any money on her since he's done alot for her already. She thought of getting someone to get her clothes since Angelo disarmed all of her traps. Resting at his side as the images of the trailers went by as if they were super slow. All though Aiko's mind was else where. At this point her mind was all over the place by the time the movie started. The first gun fire brought her back to reality as she watched Denzel kicking some ass already.
 
Angel laughed at her reaction. The look on her face and sound of her amusement was enough to set him off. He was glad she was with him now and no longer his enemy. He felt more relaxed and at ease for some reason. He watched her pull away and let her be as he turned his focus onto the screen. He wondered how much he would actually see of the movie before his mind got away from him.

Thinking about what was next for the family and where would they go from now. The Cresent Family wasn't the only enemies they had and surely they wouldn't be the last. At some point someone would try to fill those shoes. He needed to have his strength together and his men ready for when it did. After thinking about it, he didn't think it be wise to let his men take the week off. Sadly he had already given it to them and he couldn't be the type to take back what he said. Then it was decided then.

Angel would do what he could without then and at least use this week to lay down the foundation of their growth. He hadn't even realized that she had moved to lay against him, his body reacting to the presence of her. Sliding his arm around her shoulder to hold her close to him with a small bit of movement from his pants. That alone had brought him out of his thoughts to glance down and notice the placing of her hand. He sighed inwardly and turned his focus to the screen. He needed to make sure he remained focus and not allow a part of him to get ahead of himself.

Angel knew it was nothing like that, but dogs got excited off the smallest things. He never classified himself as one of those animals, but he came to realize a piece of his body shared the thoughts of such creature. By the time the guns starting firing, he had managed to gain his focus on the program, enjoying as much as he could until their food arrived.
 
When the sounds of bones being snapped caused a reaction in her. The sound was sickening to her as she hid her eyes within his shoulder then lightly dug her finger tips into his thigh. That sound made her leg ache to the bone and her stomach turned in nuts with a nasty taste swimming up into her mouth. With her hand being there on his thigh she didn't think it would stir something within his loins because she noticed when she was naked in front of him in the past, nothing happened.

When the fighting was over she looked back at the screen seeing from transporting going on. Relaxing within his grasp as she watched the movie until the end. She knew there were other enemies of Angelo's out there but who was one and who wasn't? That was the big question. In her mind she was grateful to be on the same side he was even though she suffered until the time she reached him.

She noticed a few things in the movie that was off. The weapons for example the women who were firing large heavy duty weapons could be easily knocked back. Aiko handled simliar weapons and she was always struggling after firing one. After being in a position for so long her back was getting stiff. Shifting around as she sat back up with her arms stretching over her head.

Apperantly their food had arrived during one of the battle scenes. She was shocked the people who delivered it were so silent. Standing up as she stepped over Angelo's legs hoping he didn't grab her then yank her into his lap. Walking over to the cart as she grabbed her plate of chicken fried rice. She stood there with her back to him as she ate in silence. The taste lingered on her tongue which was wonderful to her.
 
Angel put his mind at ease and just enjoyed the movie. He didn't let his mind get too technical on how weapons worked and whether or not someone could fire something from such position. That would be a waste and pull him out the movie. She did allow him to laugh a bit more. Her flinching and jumping was something to enjoy and wondered how she'd react if they were watching a horror movie. To think a skilled killer would have such problems as she was having now.

Though it wasn't all fun, her hand on his thigh only continued to remind him it was there. He began to curse the fact he only wore those pajama shorts, lucky she couldn't see the growth along his inner thigh. He was relieved when the movie went off, disappointed a bit when she pulled away from him. Then she climbed over him which caused his eyes to trail her figure. That was a view he would have paid to see. He put the leg rest down until he heard the click and knew it was back in place.

"Whatcha wanna watch now? We got damn near any and everything." It was brighter in the place but still wasn't much until he turned on the light, something he didn't need to do yet. Nor did he want to since the problem she caused him had yet to go away. Angel wouldn't bring attention to it. They didn't have that type of relationship and didn't want her to think all he had done and given her was for this. They were true friends and the only one he could blindly trust, or so he told himself. He wasn't about to ruin that for something so small.

"You standing like we don't have seats." Angel teased as he brought the cart closer to the chair. He stood though as he waited for her movie request. While he waited, he mixed the chicken with his rice and blended them together pretty well.
 
She had forgotten she was standing as she looked over at him with the fork captured by her lips. Smiling as she felt silly now but she returned to her seat at his side and thought of a movie they could watch.

"Surprise me." She said before taking another bite of the food. "Sorry I can't be more speific but I'm enjoying the food way to much." She was being honest with him as she curled her legs up under her naked rump. Though she imagined her reaction to certain parts of the movie amused him but its the way it was. If a killer never experienced a broken bone then the sound of it wouldn't bother them, right? Well it bothered her since she knew how it feels to have something that strong broken within then suffer from it for months afterwards. You want to put someone through hell then take something away they do everyday and can't live without.

She looked over at him seeing he wasn't moving much. Curious as she turned to him but she didn't reach over to touch him.

"Did me actting like a normal human do something to you?" She said softly as she rested her head to the side looking at him. In the past her thoughts of him were nothing but professional but recently she began to think deeply about the things thats been going on. Such as him saving her, keeping his men poliet when she was around him, protective over her but there were many things he's done so far that she never thought of.
 
Angel looked towards her when she said that. That was such a cop out, but he let her be. Plus her reasons wasn't all that bad, though she would have scored more points if he personally cooked it. "Yeah yeah." He told her as he rose and went to the back to try to find something good to watch. He decided to go away from action movies, they didn't own any romantic flicks unless there was some comedy in it. So he wasn't sure what to watch.

Angel did say Avatar but now he wasn't in the mood, so he put Hangover on and decided to call it a day with that. It was funny and could serve to let the mood relax and he didn't have to worry about anything happening. Any other girl that wouldn't be any hesitation, but this was different and he didn't like himself for it. He felt like a punk, but sometimes a man had to swallow his pride. Soon he came back to join her only to hear the question she sent his way. He brought his plate into his lap and began eating it as he thought about it some.

After swallowing the first shovel full Angel went to answer. "Nah. There's nothing wrong with you. I'm just trying to get use to us not being soldiers. Just everyday people. I mean the last time I saw you I was your superior, so this is a bit new." He told her as he put another fork full into his mouth. He chewed a bit before continuing. "I mean before at the party and diner, we only had a little bit to speak. But now its different with us alone and nothing blocking us." He found himself wondering if that sounded right, but decided there was no point in second guessing himself now. It wasn't something he was use to so there was no point in stressing over it.

Angel reclined back in his chair and began to dig into his food, glad it was still hot and that it was still spicy.
 
Listening to him explain he was getting use to them not being soliders but she smiled at him then answered him when he was done.

"If you think about it you are still my superior." She said it without thinking but ate bit more of her food before thinking about it further. "Hmm either way you surpass me in som eways but I surpass you in others...So you couldn't be my superior at the moment since I'm not under your ruling yet." She det her empty plate aside and reclined back in the chair.

Resting back in the chair as she felt tired and full. She laid somewhat on her side as she looked at him. He was some man that any woman would want. Though she was wondering why he was still single or did he love the single life of screwing around with whoever he wanted to.

This topic seemed a touchie one or one she wasn't willing to bring up. Closing her eyes as her hand rested on her waist and her other arm under her head. After a while she looked at the movie screen and laughed once in awhile. The movie was entertaining though everything was starting to catch up on her. Sighing as she sat right back up and touched his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Angelo but everything from earlier has caught up to me." She gave him a weak smile before she crawled over him and headed to the exit. She hated to leave him there but she felt like she would pass out if she didn't head back to her room. Sighing in disappointment that her body wouldn't do as she wished but it couldn't be helped. Walking alone as she went down th ehall retracing their steps to hear the men placing bets on the pool game and anything else to keep themselves entertained. Smiling at the sight of them as she walked past them then up the stairs having her hand on the stair railing.

She stopped mid way on the stairs and looked back thinking Angelo was behind her. Shaking her head to herself as she laughed softly. "Of course he wouldn't follow."

Smiling as she went past his bedroom then entered her room where she left the door ajarred. Her steps were heavy when she apprached the bed but fell into the soft covers with her head nestled within the soft folds of the pillows. At this point she didn't think she could move her limbs to crawl under the covers. Closing her eyes as she couldn't get out of her mind on how inviting and secure Angelo was but Aiko wasn't stopping herself from thinking such things about him. There was a second where she wondered why she was thinking so highly of him at this moment.
 
Angel glanced to her when he heard what she had to say. She clearly was thinking too highly of him, but there was nothing that could be done. He surely wasn't interested in breaking her imagine she held of him. That made no since as far as he was concerned. "Talking like that, I'm starting to wonder if you got an alter of me or something." He teased with a bit of a laugh. Less than half his main meal was left as he sealed the container up and pushed it aside.

Angel finished the egg rolls and the wanton which helped to fill him up. With the heavy root beer added onto his stomach, he was good for the night. When she was done and everything was on the cart, he pushed it aside so he could recline back and enjoy the movie. He began to pick up on the fact she wasn't fully into it since she wasn't laughing at parts that were clearly funny. His right hand rested on her thigh, he found it odd that when she wasn't touching him he had a part of his body on hers. He didn't let it control his thoughts and instead allowed himself to enjoy the movie.

It had been a while since Angel was able to watch a movie and just let his mind be at ease. His goons were always starting trouble or shouting at the screen which can become very annoying. He turned his attention to her when she said she was going to bed. "Alright. I'll see you in the morning." He told her and watched her leave before turning his attention back to the movie. He remained where he was and finished the movie off before putting everything back where it was and wheeling the cart to the kitchen. He went back to check on his crew in the room only to check his watch.

"You muthafuckas going to be up all damn night. It close to one." Angel said to them and they could tell by his stance and the vibe he gave off that he wasn't angry or anything. He was just messing with them. "C'mon, its been a while since we had a day off!" A few shouted back which only brought a smile to the crime lord's face. "Have fun at your own house!" He said and waved to them as he began to head down the hall. "And no bitches! There's a lady in the house!" The boss shouted back only to merely receive a goodnight in unison from his crew. He was glad that Old Man Carter did this for him, there was something about this lifestyle that spoke to him.

Angel could only guess because it was like a constant battlefield, always around soldiers and warriors who were willing to lay their lives down for you. Once he got upstairs, he passed by Aiko's room only to notice her laying across her bed. He could see the underside of her ass, which actually concerned him. He moved into the room and as gentle as he could, positioned her the right way on the bed. He pulled the covers back and placed them over her, to conceal her form. "Goodnight." He whispered so not to wake her up before leaving out the room.

Angel closed and locked her bedroom to make sure she didn't have to worry about nothing besides rest tonight. On his way down the hall, he lifted his tank top over his head to remove it. It landed on one of the chairs in his room once he entered and closed the door. After using the bathroom he moved to his bed to sit on the left side, facing the balcony like he was always ready if he needed to escape in a hurry. He grabs a remote from the end table to press the button which caused the radio to come on. A soft rumble came from the vanity cabinet, playing some good soul R&B which helped him keep his mind clear at night.

With that, Angel slid underneath the covers of his bed and laid on his side facing the inside of the bed. There he closed his eyes and waited for sleep to take him over.
 
By the time Angelo go tto her she wass curled up around one of the pillows as if it was a subsitute for something. Aiko's feet were tucked up to her ass as she seemed to be in a deep sleep which was unusual. Apparantly her body refused for her to remain in a light slumber. Though she moved when she felt something laying over her. She opened her eyes to see it was Angelo who was once again looking after her. Smiling softly as she closed her eyes having her body slowly loosening up to where she stretched out under the blankets he placed over her.

The warmth under the blankets ensured she wasn't going to wake up any time soon. The blankets fell into her form as she clung to the pillows for comfort. During the night she didn't dream nor had the feeling she needed to be alert since she wasn't in her own place where she wasn't protected. With hours crawling by her body was repairing itself. When morning came she didn't even bother to open her eyes as she hid futher under the blankets.

"To bright..." She groaned softly whoever designed the mansion knew what they wanted. After growing hot under the blankets Aiko's sat up and pushed them back. She rubbed her eyes seeing this wasn't her boss's building nor her room. "Wha..." At first she didn't recongize the room but let off a soft laugh with her falling back into the pillows realizing she was in Angelo's guest room.

Laying there against the pillows as she looked up at the ceiling seeing the colors of the sun playing across the dark colored room. Moving out of bed as she straighten her bed out before she headed to the bathroom. Though when she walked by the door to her room she unlocked it thinking someone would come in to "wake her up". Once in the bathroom she took care of all of her needs before stripping down to strip her bandages off. She looked in the mirror seeing the wounds were red still but not as bad as before. Shaking her head before she started the shower then stepped in as she washed up with a body wash that smalled of roses. Surprised by the delicate scent that was in a house of men she rinsed the suds off. Her hair was cleaned and rinsed before she turned the shower off.

In silence she dryed off in the bathroom and gently tended to her wounds where she wrapped them up. She looked around seeing she didn't bring in a clean shirt. "Fuck..." She cursed to herself before walking back into her room butt naked to find one of the shirts in a dresser. Reaching into the drawer as she pulled a black shirt out then slipped it over her head but she sat down in one of the chairs by the window with her rubbing her hair dry.
 
For the things he has been known to do. The things that had given him the title Angel of Death, he slept soundly. There was no tossing and turning and no nightmares or reflections of past events. If anyone saw him, they would have sworn he looked like a baby or as his mother said; An Angel. He woke with the first rays of sun, another reason he laid on the side facing the balcony doors. He groan his protest but it was clear the ball of fire could care less, so he climbed out of bed.

After a quick shower, brushing his teeth, and a bit more grooming Angel got dressed. He would have loved to spend time laying around with Aiko today but he had to put some plans into motion. Once dress, he stood before his mirror to make sure everything fit well. The brown pinstripe suit did more than fit him well and with how much it cost including it being custom made, he better had. He stood there with just the pants and vest on, the jacket laying across his bed. He fastened the sleeves to his white dress shirt and placed the white diamond cuff links to keep them in place.

Angel buttons the vest up making sure the brown and white striped tie was tucked underneath it. The leather holster to his gun was securely placed against the small of his back. After grabbing his jacket, those brown leather dress shoes carried him out of the room and down the hall. Suddenly he came to a stop next to Aiko's door with the thought of entering it had crossed his mind. There was a lot of things he had plans to do today and he wasn't sure if it was wise to waste more time than this. He had to make some calls and make sure to bring in more shipments.

Then there was property he needed to get before they vanished to better spread out his forces. Of course he had to make a visit to the chief of police to make sure he had those pockets lined just the right way. He thought it be wise to bring Tony so he could pretend to be in charge once more. Oddly enough he wanted to scrap all of those plans to sit and relax with her for the day. Something he knew couldn't nor would he do, but he couldn't help thinking about it. Toying with the idea in his head enough to bring a smile to his face.

No, Angel had to keep his promise to old man Carter. It may not have been one he made vocally to the man's face, but one made when he took up the position left to him. With that in mind, he was about to walk passed when he figured he should just check up on him. With the belief the door was still locked, he removed his key from his pocket to unlock and push the door open. Those light brown eyes found her sitting by the window, a sight that looked more serene then he would have imagined. He said nothing as he leans his shoulder against the frame of the door to watch her.

His jacket draped over his forearm.
