"She's got a lot of spunk, that Red," Rose smirked as she settled at the dining table with her cup of hot cocoa. She picked up a small bottle of bourbon and poured it in and sipped it looking out her apartment window towards the little mobile home park that it over looked. She could clearly see Padre's old mobile home from there, and the light that shone from the back window that she knew belonged to Red.
"Tell me about it," Liam said around an unlit cigarette, currently carefully weighing small, green and sticky buds out into smaller containers.
"We can't let Padre suck that out of her... Like he did us," Rose said, taking a worried sip of her drink. Liam looked up from what he was doing, and set the cigarette down in an ashtray. He reached over and put his hand on her arm.
"Don't worry, babe, I'm going to get us out of here. You, me and Red. Few more months and we'll be far away from here, far away from this fucking city. And far away from Padre,"
Rose smiled, and rested her hand on his. "I know... It's just..." She bit on her red tinted lip.
"It's just, what?" Liam asked his brows knitting.
"It's Kev..." She whispered.
"What about that stupid fucking prick?" Liam snarled.
"He came by morgue today. I could hear him and my dad yelling at each other from the garage," she rotated her mug nervously. "Dad said he threatened him. Wouldn't say what about or what the threat was. Just went on a rant about him threatening him,"
"Did he tell Padre?" Liam asked. She shook her head.
"He doesn't take Kev seriously. But something... It doesn't feel right,"
Liam waved his hand dismissively and went back to his task.
"Fuck him," He said putting the cigarette back in his mouth. "He's already missing an eye, now finger. And if he doesn't learn to shut his fucking mouth I'll take the next fucking body part,"
Rose smiled, shifting in her seat and leaning back a bit more, her worries washed away by Liam's rant. She circled the top of her mug with her finger.
"y'know, it's kinda hot when you get all defensive," she bit her lip. Liam froze and looked up from his task again.
"Y-yeah?" he stammered, a blush forming on his face. Rose set her cup on the table, getting up to straddle his lap.
"Yeah," She whispered.
