Chapter 23: indigo

It's been a few days since the sleepover at my parents and everyone's been really weird around me, why? I have no idea.

My period finished this morning so I'm in a much better mood, the mission is tomorrow so I'm currently packing as we're staying at a hotel tonight. The plan is to go to Franco's location and ambush, he won't be expecting it. We have very little intel though on how many men he has and his position with other mafias, if he's involved with another gang, we might run into some trouble.

I chuck a bag at greys head because he's still sleeping and he needs to pack, we're not really acting on anything that we said a few nights ago we're just normal, I thought it would be weird after our conversation but it's not. I want to see how this goes.

He groans and turns over, his messy bed head looks adorable and hot at the same time and he sits up resting himself on his elbows. He looks around confused and then his eyes land on me and he scowls.

"Why'd you wake me up?" He asks, holy shit his morning voice.

"You need to pack grumpy" I tell him

"Look who's talking" he utters and gets out of bed, his sweatpants have slid down a bit in the night so I can see his defined v-line and his abs. On the bright side at least I'm not marrying a 50 year old pot bellied pervert who smacks my ass every time I turn around.

He goes into the bathroom, while I grab a few of his clothes out his draws, we're back at his house now but we're leaving for mine in 10 minutes.

"Hurry up!" I shout to him

"Sorry let me just ask my dick to piss faster" I roll my eyes at him and quickly finish packing my stuff while he brushes his teeth. He rinses and I take the toothbrush out his hand, wash it off and put it in my wash bag so he doesn't forget it, I tell him to lift up his arms and I spray deodorant under them and pack that as well.

"Jesus would you like to dress me too" he says sarcastically as I walk out the bathroom and chuck all the stuff in his bag.

"per l'amor di dio andiamo e basta" (for the love of god, let's just go already) he looks at me and sticks his middle finger up.

"I don't know what you just said but I'm convinced it was bitchy" he says nodding his head and jogging over to the bed to grab stuffy who I had forgotten about. He puts him in the bag and we turn around to roger.

He looks at us and turns his head.

"Ok baby, mummy and daddy are leaving for a couple days, granny and grandpa will take care of you" i coo at him and stroke his head giving it a kiss. I turn around and grey is looking at me weirdly.

"What?"

"You talk to him like he can understand you" he tells me and roger gives him the side eye.

"He can" grey holds up his hands and walks over to roger and pats his side.

"See ya rog"

Roger lays down and groans, I wave at him and we leave the room walking down the stairs quietly as it's only 5:45 am.

"Where do you think you're going without saying goodbye to me" Alessias voice rings out, she's sat at the island with a coffee in her silk nightgown. If I have one wish it's to look like her in my 40's.

"Sorry mum" grey says and walks towards her to give her a kiss on the cheek, she hugs him and grabs his face.

"If you get hurt again, I will pull the plug on your life support, I didn't push you out of me so you could get yourself killed, love you lots" she says and let's go of him.

"Indi sweetheart, be careful and I love you" she tells me and I smile at her.

"Love you lots" I reply and grey and I walk out the door and get in the BMW we're taking. He gets in the drivers side while I put our things in the boot and get in the car with him. He starts the engine and we drive out of the gates.

"I'm driving today" he states and I look at him and shake my head.

"No, no, no you're not driving, I'm driving" I argue and panic crosses his face slightly.

"You're a shit driver, no way are you driving" he insults me and I look at him in shock.

"I am a fantastic driver, I past my test 1st time"

"Only because you threatened your instructor with a gun indigo, you are not safe to drive" he reminds me.

I ran over one old lady and she shouldn't have been walking when the light was going from Amber to red.....for the cars, not the people, but still.

"You're being so over dramatic, give me one example when you've felt in danger while I was driving" I say and smile triumphantly, he won't think of anything.

"Hmm let's see... there was the time you reversed into the bins and then accelerated forward to a toddler on a bike"

"That's one thing" I scoff

"Or the time you pulled a u-y on the highway, and the day you drove through the barrier, also let's not forget when you totaled the car drunk driving and-"

Ok maybe my driving could use a little improvement but I'd never admit that, especially to Greyson.

"I don't remember any of that happening, I don't know how safe it is for you to drive seeing as you've clearly been hallucinating, are you on drugs" I emphasize and widen my eyes at him, he's not but...

"No what the fuck- I think we should let Oakley and you're dad decide" great I know they'll be on my side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"No way! Greyson is driving that's final"

"Yeah I'd like to get out of that car alive"

Ok maybe their not on my side.

"Fine" I tell them and roll my eyes.

Oakley has a pair of sunglasses on, a pink neck pillow and a blanket . He's also got a suitcase. You would think we were going on a weeks vacation.

"Don't you think that's a little bit overkill?" Elliot asks him and oaks shakes his head.

"Not at all, this is light packing el, your backpack will not satisfy your packing needs when you get to that hotel room tonight" oakley informs him and gets in greys car.

"Alright, we'll see you at the hotel" my dad says

"Bye dad" I say and hug him, hunter and Enzo are getting in the car and Matteo and Elliot are arguing about who gets front seat in dads car.

"You're both in the back, I don't want either of you in the front with me" my dad calls to them and they both sulk and get on the back of the Range Rover.

I release my dad and head to the passenger side, greys already In the drivers seat putting the directions into the map.

"So guys let's play eye-spy" oakley suggests and starts before we even agree.

"I spy something beginning with t"

"Tree"

"God dammit you're good"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's only been and hour and I'm bored out of my mind, oakleys humming and In a minute I'm going to reach back and strangle him with his seatbelt.

"Grey-" he starts but he's interrupted

"No" grey says his eyes on the road one hand on the steering wheel and one arm resting on the window ledge. His tattooed biceps straining at his muscle tee

"I didn't even finish my question" oakley complains and kicks greys chair .

"If you kick my chair one more fucking time oakley I will stop this car and you will get and walk the rest of the way" grey threatens.

"Can I-"

"Still no" grey says again and oakley looks at him with hatred .

"You don't know what I'm going to say" oakley whines

"Yes I do, your going to ask if you can play music and your music playlist consists of only that Olivia girl, I refuse to listen to the song about driving again" grey tells him

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, I STILL SEE YOUR FACE IN THE WHITE CARS, FRONT YARDS, CANT DRIVE PAST THE PLACES WE USED TO GO TO, 'CAUSE I STILL FUCKIN' LOVE YOU BABE!" all of us pelt out as we drive into the services, after 30 minutes of back and forth grey finally caved. I put in earphones after 30 seconds of it.

We finish the song and grey turns it down.

"Right let's go"

We all get out and grey locks the car, we head into the services and grab a coffee, Oakley repeatedly tells us he doesn't need the loo and so after grey and I use the toilets we grab a Mac Donald's and get in the car again.

"If you drop food in my car oakley, I will shoot in the dick I swear to god" grey warns him and hands oaks his food.

We all eat and I get out and chuck the rubbish in the bin, I turn around and go to get in the car but greys driving away and waving at me, I laugh thinking he'll stop but he doesn't. I shout out to him and run after the car. But he's still waving and oakleys got his out the window and he's laughing at me. They are both so Fucking annoying.

So I do the only rational thing, I grab out my gun and shoot the wheel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"God indigo, I can't fucking believe you, we were joking and now a tire guys replacing my wheel" grey tells me "I've had to pay off the 5 people that saw you do it"

"It's not like you can't afford it" i mutter and he glares at me

"Can we-"

"NOT NOW OAKLEY!" grey shouts and Oakley shuts the door again.

"Well maybe you shouldn't of driven off without me" I reply and cross my arms. Grey looks down at my chest and smirks

"Not now Greyson" I scold him, his head snaps up and he gives me a boyish grin.

I admire his dimples and the way his brown hair is tousled and fluffy, his eyes sparkle and his muscled arms flex as he crosses them.

"Not now indigo" fucker

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Grey?"

Silence

"Grey?"

Silence again

"Grey?!"

"What Oakley!" There it is

"I need a piss" grey slams on the breaks and takes a deep breath, who's the irresponsible driver now bitch. Luckily no one's behind us.

"How long were we at the services Oakley" grey says oddly calm

"2 hours" Oakley replies warily

"Yes Oakley...2 FUCKING HOURS, WHY DIDNT YOU GO THEN?!" Loud much?

"I didn't need it then Greyson" oaks says and leans back in his seat.

"We're not stopping, the hotel is 2 and Half hours away still so you'll have to hold it" grey tells him and Oakley sighs.

"I will piss in your car-"

"You won't"

"I won't" loser

"Just hold it oaks ok?" I say and rest my head on the head rest. I close my eyes, there has been no quiet this whole cat ride and I'm so close to opening the door and jumping out, but Greyson put the child locks on the first time I suggested I'd do it.

"Hold it...you want me to hold it? I am not a camel indigo-"

"You look like one" grey jabs and smiles at his own childish joke.

Oakley gasps

"I am your guest passenger Greyson,I won't be giving you a good report on the uber website at all"

"Im not an Uber driver-"

"Hush now Uber boy, if you're quiet I might give you a star"

"Oakley?" Grey says

"Yeah"

"Do you like your life?"

"Very much so" Oakley responds

"Then shut up before I end it"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally pull up at a fancy looking hotel and see the other cars already here, grey parks and Oakley runs out the car with his stuff to the toilet with his neck pillow still on.

Im never riding with Oakley again

"I am never driving Oakley again" Grey just mirrored my thoughts, we grab the stuff out the car and head in the lobby. It's a beige color and very open, we walk up to the seats where the rest of the guys are waiting.

Matteo is asleep on Elliot's shoulder and a trail of drool is running out his mouth. Ew.

"Hey sweetheart , what took so long?" Charles asks as he walks up to me and gives me a Kiss on the cheek, I smile at him and wave my hand.

"I shot a tire" I tell him and his eyes widen.

"Sounds like you hunny" he says and greets grey as well with a bro shake think.

"Why did Oakley run past us?" Enzo asks, hunter is asleep on his shoulder as well and I laugh.

"He needed a wee" I explain and my dad tuts

"He does that every time" he sighs and gets up from his seat. He ushers us to the desk and we stand behind him.

"Mr Knightly" the lady greets and looks my dad up and down. Gross.

"You're rooms are ready, if you need anything please don't hesitate to call down to the front desk here and we'll help you" she tells us and my dad scrunches his face at her nods his head.

She leans over the desk and her fake boobs are practically in her face.

"Or call me?" She winks at him and holds out her card, I snatch it from her and she glares at me.

"My father is perfectly happy with my mother Barbie so fuck off, and you might want to move away from the heater before you're ass starts melting" I snap at her and her eyes widen.

She awkwardly clears her throat and hands my dad 6 room keys-

6 room keys?

That's not right it should be 7.

One room for hunter and Enzo, one for grey and I, one for Elliot, one for Matteo, one for my dad, one for Charles and one for Oakley. Maybe the twins are staying together.

"Oh yeah, and just so there's no funny business between you two, oakleys sleeping in your room" my dad says pointing between grey and i.

"WHAT!"
