My Richie Kray

"Your crazy, matches my crazy"

"You look bloody lovely you do" Callum caught me looking in the mirror at the top of our stairs,

"Lovely... She'll be known as the local slag hanging off that man's arm. A gangster wannabe? That's who you wanna date is it?" my mum barked at me,

"He ain't a bad guy mam. You just got to get to know him"

"Get to know him? He's a fucking bully why'd I want to get to know him for"

"You couldn't stop laughing at him when he was in the kitchen this morning"

"Well how do you tell a man like that that he ain't welcome in ya home. You bring him to our house again and I'll kick you both out on the streets d'you here?"

"He looks out for us mam, protects the family" Callum stuck up for him,

"We wouldn't need fucking protecting if you hadn't gotten involved with a Kray! What was you fucking thinkin' you daft twat?!"

"Shut it mam your soundin' daft. Are you ready Jada?"

"Mitchell god damn Richardson. What do you see in that guy. He's gonna get you killed he is Jada. You stupid little girl" Knowing my mum hated this union only made me want to do this even more! I gave myself one more look in the mirror before starting to come down the stairs, I looked like I belonged on his arm, I really did scrub up well, if only those bitches at school could see me now, they wouldn't of dared to lay one finger on me,

"He's highly desirable. Every woman wants to be with him, every guy wants to be him... who wouldn't date him" I smirked to myself,

"Well he ain't to step foot in this house again! D'you hear me? The pair of ya!"

"C'mon Jada. Let's get you to the ball" my brother escorted me past my mum and gave her a mean scowl.

"Callum... Where's your car?" I looked around on the street for it but none of the parked cars were his,

"It's right here" he pulled out a key fob and the beautiful black shiny Merc that had caught my eye on the way around to mine earlier this afternoon was his!

"What? Callum! It's a brand new 16 plate! Even you couldn't afford this!" I couldn't get into it quick enough! The inside was beautiful! White leather with an LED dashboard it was gorgeous. He got in and started it up with a mere push of a button, the cars navigational system even greeted him in a posh, female accent,

"D'you like it?" He honestly looked like a little kid in a sweet shop,

"Like? I... It's just... I want it. How can you afford this? Has work given you a pay rise?"

"I'm..." he sighed heavily,
"This doesn't leave the car, alright?"

"Callum I'm not going to say anything am i"

"Anything I tell you from now on or anything that happens whilst you're with me and Richie, you don't tell a fucking soul"

"I know how it goes. Honestly I won't say anything. So go on?"

"Richie bought me the car. He sold my old one, and the money I'm giving to you"

"What?! I don't want your money. Callum you loved that car? What the..."

"Richie took me down to a dealership, the cars all in my name, I signed for it. Richie just paid for it. I drive him around, so he wanted a car like his to feel more comfortable in. That's why I tried to call you earlier. I wanted to know if you wanted it before he sold it onto a friend of a friend. But you never answered so Richie suggested giving you the money so you can buy a crash course, pass your test and get yourself a car. He doesn't want cha walking around or traveling on buses now that your essentially becoming involved in his circle" This... this was too much to process! My Richie, thinking about me like that! We hadn't even had our first date yet! Should this have rung warning bells? Maybe. But did it? Absolutely not.
