On rare occasions,

he would have to keep a low profile,

when he was an even more wanted

man than usual

which you loved because you

got to spend more time with him

than ever.

Of course,

the chaos never came to an end.

If he wasn't carrying out plans,

he was arranging them.

He could control things from home

whilst his men would handle

things at the club,

various deals and any incoming

shipments at the docks.

"What are ya doing doll?"

He appeared in the doorway to the bedroom,

a cigarette in his mouth,

his intense blue eyes falling onto you

because he could only stay in his office

for so long without being bored to death.

"Angel Cards"

You answered him quietly,

too focused on what you were doing

to want to have a full conversation.

"What's that?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Angel Cards are like tarot cards

except you contact angels instead

of scary people

and they cannot tell the future"

You explained to him,

placing the cards down one by one.

"Contact?"

He scoffed.

"What do ya mean?

You think you can fucking talk

to an Angel?"

"Yes daddy"

You sighed softly like he was

inconveniencing you.

"Yeah..."

He leaned down to where you

we're sitting on the floor,

taking the cards from you.

"I don't think I want ya

playing with this shit baby.

It's fucking weird"

"What?"

You breathed out.

"Daddy,

You can't take my Angel cards!"

"You're talking to imaginary

Angels now?"

He rolled his eyes at you.

"Read my lips little girl.

I said no.

That's it alright?

Dont fucking argue with me.

Why don't cha go outside or something?"

"I hate you"

You mumbled under your breath,

getting up from the floor to find a cardigan

to wear so that you could go outside.

"What the fuck did you just say?"

He narrowed his eyes at you.

"You fucking hate me?"

"Nothing daddy"

You choked out,

the look in his eyes enough

to scare you out of having an attitude

with him.

"Get the fuck out of my sight"

He told you firmly.

"And don't leave the fucking garden

cos I'll have you locked in this house all

summer long"
