Big Bad Handsome Man
Eleven.
“When does she want to make the exchange?”
“In a few days, three at tops.” Brian answered leaning back in his chair. “Wherever we want to meet she’s down with, just as long as we don’t let anything leak out.”
I nodded my head slowly, my fingertips drumming against the beer bottle as I thought. It had been almost a month since we took Kara, and now in a few days I’d have to give her back. I didn’t know where I stood with that honestly. I was so torn between the choices, I wanted Kara to stay here yet I knew once she found out what we did she’d hate our guts.
“Matt?”
I snapped out of my thoughts, finding the guys looking at me. “Set it up at the beach or something at night. Less people around, plus the water will be loud incase we need to shoot anyone.” I answered rubbing my temple.
“How’re you going to tell Kara?” Johnny asked quietly.
I was quiet for a few moments, not sure how I was going to tell her at all. She had been so happy recently, and I knew I was the reason for that. Just thinking about how much she was going to hate me killed me inside; I don’t know how I managed to sleep at night honestly.
“I don’t know… I’ve got a few days to think of a way don’t I?” I laughed weakly.
We were all quiet for a few minutes, just drinking and thinking things over. If there was any way I’d get to keep Kara here I’d go for it. I’d also take anyway that meant I wouldn’t have to let her know what we had done. It was just going to break her heart beyond repair.
“Matt… I have an idea.”
Normal POV:
I let out a bored sigh as I tossed my book onto the floor, leaning my head against the window. I had been up in Matt’s room all day reading, and I was beyond bored. He had gone downstairs about two hours ago to talk ‘business’ with the guys, and I knew they had to be talking about when I’d be going home.
I had tried to listen at the bedroom door, but it was pointless of course. I was beyond curious to know what was going on, yet I didn’t want to risk another episode of Matt’s anger. Luckily he hadn’t shot anyone in front of me, or gotten mad since a few weeks ago.
I didn’t want to leave honestly.
I liked being here with the guys and Val. Especially being with Matt, just thinking about going back home to Karen made me feel miserable. It’s not like there was any choice in the matter, I’d have to go back to her eventually, after all this was just a job. Matt and the guys would get their money and I’d never see or hear from them again. Maybe if I was lucky I’d run into Val somewhere in town, hopefully she wouldn’t disappear on me.
I looked away from the lake outside when the bedroom door opened slowly. Matt sent me a small smile before shutting the door behind him. He collapsed onto the bed with a groan, one of his thick arms draped over his eyes. I got off the window seat, sitting down next to him on the bed.
“Are you alright?” I asked as one of his hands intertwined with mine.
He uncovered one of his eyes, “just a little headache, nothing serious. How’re you feeling?” He asked with a dimple grin. I swear those dimples could end up being the death of me.
“I’m alright, dying for fresh air though.” I smiled hoping he’d get the hint. It was beyond lovely outside, and I hadn’t gotten to go outside for a few days.
He chuckled, “is this your way of telling me you want to go outside for some fresh air?” He asked.
I smiled innocently, “well if you’re offering I wouldn’t mind.”
Matt laughed as he sat up, looking down with me a grin. “I have a better idea, how do you feel about going swimming for a bit?”
I nodded frantically, “that sounds amazing!”

“Matt come into the water!”
“NO! It’s cold!”
I couldn’t help but giggle as I tilted my head back into the water, enjoying the feeling of the sun on my skin. It was nice to get some fresh air, even if Matt was being a big baby about some cold water. I swear he was so manly looking, yet could be a girl at times; it just made him that much cuter.
I lifted my head up when I heard splashing, a cringing Matt making his way over to me. “It’s not that cold Matt!” I laughed floating over to him.
“You don’t have boy parts.” He grunted. “You look like I’ve been starving you from going outside.” He commented.
“I like being outside,” I answered with a grin, “fresh air does the body good, I could’ve used it when I was sick.” I teased, splashing some cold water his way.
He cringed again, “fuck I don’t know how you warmed up so fast.” He mumbled, “But I should’ve let you get some fresh air sooner, I never realized how boring it must be in the house.”
I shrugged, “it’s not that bad, just gets depressing to see the outside but not be able to go out and explore it. I’ve also never been up here before, so of course it made it a bit worse.” I added wrapping my arms around Matt’s thick middle.
He chuckled, wrapping his arm around my waist. I couldn’t help but blush when Matt adjusted me until my legs were around his waist, less than an inch between us both. Matt and I had been in this position a few times before while kissing, but something about right now made it seem new.
“You’re cute when you’re blushing.” Matt smiled.
I smiled nervously, “Thank you Matt.”
He chuckled, “you’re also cute when you’re nervous.”
I groaned, resting my forehead against his shoulder. Matt definitely knew how to make me nervous to the point that I couldn’t even talk. At least he found it cute. Matt was moving around in the water, a few splashes of it landing on my upper back as he walked. I could feel the water moving up higher, which made me slightly scared.
“I can’t swim.” I mumbled.
“What? Really?” Matt asked tilting my head up.
I nodded a sheepish smile on my face. “I tried learning once… but almost drown. Swimming doesn’t agree to me, so I use pool floaties.” I answered with a grin.
Matt gave me a dimpled smile, pressing me closer to him. “Well than, I won’t drop you… at least I’ll try.” He teased tossing me around a bit in his arms.
I let out a small scream, clinging onto him like my life depended on it; if he dropped me I would make his life a hell. I scowled at Matt’s chuckling, not happy that my fear was amusing him. At least I had gotten into the water instead of whining about how cold it was. You would think all those muscles would keep him warm.
I was going to mutter a threat to him when I noticed something going on over his shoulder. I pressed my hands against his shoulders, giving me a boost to see what was going on. All of the guys were getting into the car; they waved once they noticed I was watching. But after that they drove away, making me worry that something was going on.
Did they betray Matt?
Where the cops coming?
“I asked them to go into town for the day so we can have some alone time.” Matt mumbled from under me, making me look back down.
My eyes widened with horror when I realized Matt’s face was quite literally smashed against my chest. I was practically smothering him, in a hurry I pushed myself away, almost landing into the water. My cheeks felt like they were on fire, and even Matt’s cheeks had a faint tinge of red to them. Despite the numerous times Matt and I made out, he had never once groped at me. I liked that.
“Matt… I-I’m so sorry.” I whimpered nervously.
He cleared his throat nervously, shifting me around a bit. “It’s alright. I um, asked the guys to give us some alone time for the night. I have some things planned for just us and I thought it’d be awkward with all of them here.” He replied.
I couldn’t help but smile, “what do you have planned?” I asked sweetly.
He smirked. “It’s a surprise.”
“In a few days, three at tops.” Brian answered leaning back in his chair. “Wherever we want to meet she’s down with, just as long as we don’t let anything leak out.”
