Chapter 50: Indigo

"It'll be fun now stop being such a grump and get up" I tell grey as he sulks in the bed. Bea and I have organized a double date at an ice skating rink and guess who doesn't want to go.....surprise surprise it's Greyson.

Antisocial rat.

I walk over to him and whack him on the head with a pillow, he reaches up and grabs the pillow from my hands before it makes contact with the back of his head once again and he chucks it across the room. So I do the next logical thing. I get on the bed and stand on his back.

"Get up. Get up. Get up." I repeat to him as I bounce my feet near his broad shoulders. He groans and turns over, I fall off of him and onto the mattress beside him. He chucks his arm around me and pulls me to his tatted chest.

"No...no no no, not happening, we need to go, I'm dressed and ready, get the fuck up before I stab you in the ass to kick you into motion" I say to him and he shoots me an icy glare before rolling out the bed and onto his feet and heading into the bathroom.

I'm already dressed in black skinny jeans and a racer jacket, with a black cami top underneath. I'm wearing black heels and grey walks out the bathroom with a matching color of clothes on.

He's wearing a dark green hoodie with a black jacket over the top and loose black jeans. We match.

"We do not match indigo" how did he know I was thinking that and obviously we don't match he just copied my style.

We go downstairs and ollie jumps onto greys front, grey stumbles a bit but smiles down at Ollie and Ollie beams up at him in return. It's cute the way he admires his asshole older brother.

"Belle and I got back together" he says excitedly and greys eyes turn a stormy gun metal grey.

That's funny. The grey eyes and the fact his name is grey. Welcome to indigos random as fuck thoughts. Take it or leave it. You'll learn from my weird brain. Plus I'm hot as fuck so...

"What do you mean, she dumped you didn't she, I swear to god if she does that shit again I won't hesitate to fucking kill her, kid or not" Grey says seriously and Ollie laughs at his older brothers protectiveness over looking how deadly truthful grey is being. That's what's most lethal about grey. He's so loving and kind toward his family that the fact he kills without thought and tortures like the devil himself would slip your mind if you didn't know him well.

"No, she only broke up with me because girls at school where saying things to her about us" seriously....these kids are so young and they feel pressure to do things like break up just because others told them too.

Grey nods skeptically and sets Ollie on the floor, we bid him goodbye and head outside and into the Jeep which grey has had all fixed up. He's very proud.

"Be nice to them alright" I say to him as we pull out the drive and go to where the rink is about 25 minutes away.

"I've done background checks" he tells me and I settle into my seat for the rundown on their lives he's no doubt about to give me "Maverick Carter, brought up in Dallas and moved here 3 years ago for his racing which he makes a fair sum out of every year. He's 20 years old and his mother and father were both dead beats, he was tossed around in the foster care system until he was 12 when he found a stable family who adopted him. I think something suspicious happened with them as he cut off all contact with them as soon as he left" I nod at the information and wait for the rundown on Bea.

"Bea Tuffin, raised by foster parents in Alabama she had a nice upbringing, she moved to the city 4 years ago and moved in with her boyfriend Mav last year. She works at a local bookshop and she struggles with severe social anxiety and paranoia." grey finishes and I feel a pang of sympathy for the shitty hand these two have been dealt with their lives.

We arrive at the location a few minutes later and grey parks, we get out and I look at his parking.

"Give me the keys" he scoffs and walks off.

"No. Fucking. Way" he tells me and I sneak them out his pocket. Oblivious idiot.

I run to the car and unlock it at lightning speed. I start the engine after I hop in the front seat and I reverse to pull back in straighter than grey had. I blast the music and when I get out the car is much straighter. There a strange abundance of feathers at the front of the vehicle but I ignore them and turn to a very pissed off looking grey.

Thoughts with indigo? I think today might be the last day of my life.

"What. The. Fuck. You hit a fucking bird. YOU DROVE 2 FUCKING METERS AND YOU TOOK LIFE, THIS IS WHY YOU DONT DRIVE!" he yells and I can't help but realize that maybe he's right.

I'm not going to tell him that though.

"At least it isn't all wonky now" I try to smooth out the situation I've got myself into but he rolls his eyes and holds his hand out for me. I take it and we walk through the doors together and into the ice rink.

I spot Mav before I spot Bea and I don't think he's any happier to be here than grey is. I pull my grumpy fiancée over to the couple and they look at us waiting.

Bea pulls me into a hug and Mav glares at me.

"It's cute you think that's scary sweetie" i say to him and he glowers even more.

Now I would be scared and even though I'm a trained assassin and I've killed more men than I can count, I have the added bonus of also having a 6ft 4 wall of pure muscles, glares and tattoos right behind me.

Grey steps around me and him and Mav do that bro shake thing again like a couple of weirdos. Just at that moment a voice I know all too well is heard above the chattering of the crowd.

"No Amelia, I'm not going on that thing, it will crack and I will die and then when you cry at my funeral I'll haunt you with my ghost who will remind you that I said this was a shitty idea" I thought they couldn't come?

Oakley and Amelia appear next to us and I don't miss how oaks stands slightly behind grey as Mav sends him a glare as well.

"Hello!" Bea greets them and Amelia looks slightly startles when the little ball of sunshine pulls her in for a hug which she still returns in her shocked state.

"I'm Bea" The little sugar engine buzzes out with her high energy and Am looks at her and smiles. She probably reminds her of soap.

"I'm Amelia" Am introduces herself and nudges oaks who is now fully behind grey.

"I'm Oakley and grey is my bestie so if you try and kill me which is what you look like you're about to do my bro here will fuck you up" oaks says and shakes mavs hand.

Maverick laughs slightly and I do a double take.

"It has emotions?" I tease and the easy smile he has on his rugged face is replaces with his usual glare.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have an RBF"

"the fuck is that" he rumbles out and Oakley leans to whisper into my ear.

"Don't poke the bear idiota" (idiot) I roll my eyes at him and answer Mavs question.

"A resting bitch face" I explain and Bea giggles while she pulls Mav down to put his skates on.

"Well done indigo, you poked the fucking bear" oaks says and sits down to put his skates on as well.

Grey and I walk up to the desk and get out skates before putting them on and hobbling over to the ice.

"ITS CRACKING" I hear oaks screech and I laugh at my brother.

Grey and I skate onto the ice and glide over to where oaks is having a mini melt down while Mav stares at him funny.

"DONT YOU TELL ME IM BEING SILLY AMELIA, I. SAW. IT. THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK AND NOW WE CANT MOVE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHATS BELOW THE SURFACE!" Oakley screams once again and Mav rolls his eyes.

"Floor....floor is under the surface" he states simply and oaks mocks his tone and gets himself up from the slippery frozen surface, he brushes himself off and tries to skate off before he falls flat on his face and Am cackles in laughter.

"Oh my holy macaroni! Are you alright?" Bea asks and maverick grabs her waist just before she falls in her rush to check on Oakley.

"Careful baby" Mav mutters to her as she straightens herself up.

Oaks gets up and grabs on to Am who holds his hand and skates off with him.I grab greys hand and we skate off together. For such a large person he's actually not half bad at this.

"This is peaceful" I say as we skate around hand in hand.

"Yeah, it is"

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

"So you're a street racer?" Grey asks Mav when we're seated in a small diner off the highway after our skating earlier on in the day.

"So you're a mafia leader?" mav responds and oaks chokes on his coke.

"He's good"Oakley concludes when he finishes his coughing fit and looks to me. I shrug and he busies himself with the salt shaker.

"I work at a bookshop!" Bea adds enthusiastically and her and Am get into a conversation about different books they've read. I look out the window and freeze when I see someone watching us from a distance.

Grey immediately notices my change in posture and looks to me in question, I keep a calm persona as I explain the situation to him and he nods and pulls the gun from his waistband, maverick notices and he flashes me the end of a gun from his waistband and nods at me in reassurance.

He pulls Bea to his side and kisses her forehead.

"Back in a second baby, you stay here with Amelia ok?" He says softly to her and she nods, from my point of view i don't think this is the first time they've been in a situation like this because not once does she ask a single question she just whispers something in his ear and kisses his cheek.

I look at oaks and he huffs and rolls his eyes.

"I just want one day" he mutters to himself and shudders when I hand him a small pistol. Oaks may be absolutely pathetic but he's a 6f 2 muscular, tattoo covered man. He looks scary whether he is or isn't.

"Indi and I will go out the back while mav you go with oaks, shoot to kill" grey says and we head out the diner from the back while mav and Oakley leave from the side entrance, both out of the eye line of the person watching us

Grey and I run behind the trees until the man is in sight and mav and oaks are on the side, he spots us first and goes to lift his gun at me but grey steps in front of me and I shoot the stranger in the head, he falls to the floor and the bushes cover his body.

We walk up to him and mav and oaks meet us at his body.

"Russian" Mav confirms and grey looks at him weirdly.

"Why do I feel like I missed something on my back ground check" he says suspiciously and mav smirks at him.

"Grey I was a hitman before I was a racer, why do you think you weren't able to find any further information about me from when I was adopted to when I moved here?"

"You we're off the grid" Grey completes Mavs sentence and they both give each other weird smiles.

"Why'd you stop?" Oaks asks and mav shrugs.

"I didn't have a steady employer and It wasn't going to pay my bills so I stopped" he informs us briefly and I know what grey is going to say before it even comes out his mouth.

"What if you were to have a steady employer?" My fiancée asks and Mav smirks at him

"I would do it again" he answers in a beat and they come to some arrangement while I deal with the body and call for some men to pick it up before we head back to the diner where Am and Bea are still happily chatting to one another without a care in the world.

Grey, oaks and mav all walk in together smiling and I sit down and join Bea and Am in their conversation.

Thoughts whith indigo? A bromance is blossoming.
