The Gangleader Paction

Chapter 9: ➣ Stupid Zoo Escaping Through My Stomach

Heyyyyyyyy Munchkins! OMG my story hit #57 in the Whats Hot for Humors this week! God I can't thank you guys enough. It's a weirdly amazing feeling to know people actually love what I do and write about! Geez you guys make me so happy <3. 

But it's kinda short today cuz I really didn't feel like writing anything in this chapter cuz I wanted everything to happen in the next. I know, i'm weird. haha.

So get reading bubs!!

Btw Chace Crawford is a new level of cuteness. ☝︎Too bad Xavier isn't. 

----------------------------------------------

"So...." I drawled out sheepishly, "What now?" Turning my head, I managed to muster up the courage to actually look at Xavier as he silently steered the car.

"We go home," He replied plainly, his hard green eyes not even making contact with mine as he continued his task. I bit my lower lip mentally debating whether to ask the question that has been itching my butt since all this happened. Actually, I had more than one question but was provoking the tiger worth the risk of knowing?

Up until the gunpoint event a few hours ago, I hadn't really cared about what Xavier had going on in his life since it really didn't concern me, nor did I want to get involved with gangland business. But now after Poo Brown's encounter, the mysterious warning to stay inside and now three men attacking, I don't think my obliviousness is going to help the situation in any way.

"So um...Xavier?" I pursed my lips, shuffling a bit towards him in my passenger seat. His eyes cast a quick glance at me but didn't speak, so I took his silence as a consent to speak further, "Can I ask you something?" I mumbled cautiously.

"What do you want?" He questioned rudely, and a small smile took my face as I shuffled over a bit more. Success!

"What's going on?" I blurted out all in one breath, my shoulder raising a bit in anticipation.

"Nothing of your concern," Was his helpful answer. My mouth fell open and I furrowed my eyebrows at the blunt answer I was given. 

"How is it not any of my concern?!" I fought back stubbornly. I wasn't going to have this, I was held at fucking gunpoint, harassed by a creep and am completely clueless what the hell is going on!?

"Skyler," He warned at the tone of my voice as I continued to glare at him, "Don't test me." He replied, completely ignoring my question.

"Xavier please," I groaned clenching my fists in desperation. I was completely in the dark and soon enough I am going to slam myself into a brick wall not knowing it's there.

"Shut up Sky, you're annoying me," 

I pouted, furrowing my eyebrows in annoyance, "First of all, it's Skyler! And second, I want to know what you're on about!"

"It's everyday gang business Sky. Something you shouldn't be involved in," he answered in a bored emotionless tone as he continued to stare at the road instead of actually answering my question.

"I am involved! I was involved the second you kidnapped me!" I argued stupidly. This could go two ways, either I go too far and Xavier kills me or he gives in. I'm hoping for option two but option one sounds more realistic.

"I didn't kidnap you," He replied nonchalantly shrugging his shoulder.

I scoffed sarcastically earning a hard look from him, "Then what did you do? 'Burrow me' for a tea party?!"

His jaw clenched visibly at my sarcastic remarks but he chose to remain rational, "Don't push it, Skyler," He gritted out, "I didn't kidnap you. You belong to me and I was rightfully collecting what's mine,"

"I'm not yours!" I yelled stamping my foot on the floor of the car in aggravation. He didn't even glance at me and still gazed at the road, "My arrogant father may have sold me to you but that doesn't mean I'll be here forever!"

"Technically yes it does. My property stays with me until I get bored of it," He said casually. No way was I staying Xavier until he got 'bored' for me. I wanted to live my life out there, doing what I love and with the people, I will find to love. Not a narcissistic asshole.

"Kill me now," I sighed. I wasn't getting any information out of him and I was surprised me managed to stay calm all through my outburst. Shocker.

"That can be arranged," He added smirking all the while. God sometimes I wanna dent his gorgeous face inwards to shut him up.

The rest of the ride was an uncomfortable silence from my behalf, I'm not sure about Xavier since he really doesn't show any emotion through his facial features except for maybe anger. We were back at the mansion in 20 with a few scratches but nothing too lethal, or painstakingly gross to look at. Thank god.

"Boss," Two unfamiliar guys greeted in monotone as Xavier stepped out of his side of the car, slamming the door behind him with a blank face. I peeked over the hood of the car at Xavier's muscular back as he talked to the two men even though I couldn't really hear what they were mumbling about.

"You okay?"

I squeaked, catching Xavier's attention for a split second as I turned to glare and the baffoon who scared me. Gabe smirked at me, his eyes flashing an evil glint seeing as his face was up close with him, "I'm fine," I told him, pushing him a good meter from me.

"So how was the romantic shopping spree with Xavier?" He chimed sneakily, leaning back on the balls of his feet.

"Yeh romantic, except for the three men that almost killed me. Not to mention the guns, the screaming and the almost bullet to the head," I counted sarcastically and rolled my eyes, shutting my car door gently. "And I clearly have no idea what's going on!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Xavier sauntering away with the other two guys by his side as he entered the house leaving me here with Gabe. "Gee, wasn't that quite the romance date?" He chuckled, leading me as he walked into the house.

Hold on...

Gabe was a part of this gang. Which means he knows what's going on! Which means I could be the cunning little witch I am and get it out of him! 

Ha ha, I'm a genius.

"You bet," I rolled my eyes, stepping into the house. Even though I wasn't a fond of Gabe's little ship of Xavier and me, it still didn't help the butterflies than ate out my stomach every time he said something like that.

God, I'm hopeless. Me and my hormones!

"YOU'RE OKAY!" Someone shrieked happily, cutting me out of my thoughts as they squashed me in a bear hug. Blonde hair smothered my face as I felt like my bones were being grinded on the spot.

"Natasha let her go, you're suffocating her," Gabe cut in with a shake of his head as the bone-crusher released me, staring at me in relief. I coughed out, gasping for a breath of fresh air.

"You're okay right?" Her eyebrows furrowed in doubt at my gaping silence as I took a large intake of oxygen. Dear god, this girl can hug.

"Please." Jason's annoying voice scoffed as he stood behind Tash with his arms crossed over his chest bored, "Like Xavier would let anything happen to his precious property," His stupid smirk broadened and I glared at him, cursing at the stupid zoo stampeding through my stomach.

"Yeh like he hasn't aimed a gun at me the last three times I got on his nerves and if that wasn't enough he actually fired it!" I exclaimed, glaring daggers at his stupid face.

"Yeh but he would never hurt his dainty little girl," Xaviers girl. It felt weird but I shook my head managing to ignore his stupid remark as Natasha and Gabe chuckled at the comment. "You know I think he-"

"Jason!" Xavier's authoritative voice boomed, making all of us jump at the commanding power that rolled off him. He stood at the door of the living room, with no company except for an irritated expression. "Shut the fuck up before I place a bullet between your eyes," He snapped and Jason  gazed at the ground with a submissive expression while I stood there trying to stop myself from giggling out loud and landing a bullet in my head too.

One of these days Jason is going to get what's coming for him and I will laugh so hard when that happens.
