“Look Ash over,” Giancarlo said.
He yanked out a cigarette, and I grabbed it out of his hand. My fingers hurt like a bitch as I brought it to my mouth. I took a pull from it and coughed as the smoke entered my lungs. I handed it back to Giancarlo. I wanted to try it at least once.
“I’m going to get a shot or two, aren’t I?”
Melony looked me up and down. Her soft smile wasn’t reassuring. “Are you going to be a big baby like a certain someone?”
“Hey. I’m right here.” Giancarlo placed the cigarette between his lips. He moved next to me, getting as close as possible.
I leaned against him as Melony checked me over. She was thorough, and for the most part, I zoned out. It was impossible not to. The shots were quick, and I didn’t check back in until it was Giancarlo’s turn.
“At least your knuckles don’t need stitches. There’s a first for everything,” Melony said.
Gin smirked. “My boyfriend got me gloves so I won’t ruin my pretty hands.”
Boyfriend.I shot up and stared at Giancarlo. Was I hearing things now?
“Oh, it’s official?” Chelsea asked. She winked at me.
“It’s always been official. Ash has been mine since the day I brought him home. I picked him out— Oh, son of a bitch!”
Melony smiled, backing up with a syringe in her hand. “See? Not so bad. All done.”
“A little warning, doc,” Gin growled.
She shrugged. “I saw the opportunity, and I took it.”
I covered my mouth as I hid my laughter.
“Rest,” Melony said. She packed up her stuff as Chelsea helped her.
The only thing I wanted to do was crawl into the shower, wash away the filth, and pass out in bed.
“Nothing’s broken, thank goodness, but the bruises are only going to get worse. The pain pills are only going to do so much work.” Melony pointed at Giancarlo. “I don’t want to hear about you bungee jumping off bridges or some crap.”
I looked at Giancarlo. He shrugged as if what Melony said wasn’t absurd.
“I hear you, doc. I’ll be exerting my energy in other places, don’t worry.”
“Gin, some things I don’t want to know. Even doctors have limits.” Melony shook her head, passing over more stuff to Chelsea.
I hadn’t known they were together, but the little smiles and touches said otherwise. They were cute together.
“Oh, Gin, tell Benito I have those files on the Hayashis,” Chelsea said.
Giancarlo grunted in recognition. Chelsea and Melony headed out, leaving us alone.
“Are your brothers coming over?” I didn’t mind, but I just wanted it to be Gin and me right now.
He glanced down at me before snatching up his phone. He typed away on the screen. “Told them to come over tomorrow. Let them know nothing’s broken.”
I relaxed further into the couch cushion. “Who are the Hayashis?”
“You getting involved?”
Right, some things I didn’t need to know about. That and he probably still didn’t trust me. The thought made my stomach sour. I wrapped my arms around my midsection.I hope I gain his trust again soon.
“Hayashi Denji is a yakuza. A lieutenant to the Kotetsu-Kai Clan in New York.”
