Wrong Kind of Love

by Nichol-Louise Andrews

  “I‘m sure she did” Lucas rolled his eyes.

  “Ah ha she tells me your tapping that Amelia lass. You could share stud” she laughed “But no seriously are you guys like serious n shit?”

  “Yeah I guess you could say that.”

  “Well this is a sad day the great Lucas Valentino is off the market many a girls heart will break” Ty and Trey walked over to them.

  “What you two talking about?” Ty asked.

  “Oh nothing just about Lucas and that Amelia lass, there like serious and shit”

  “No fucking way. Since when?”

  “Since I dunno, since when stud?”

  “A few months” Lucas replied.

  “A few months why aint you told me before. She any good you tapped her ass yet?” Trey laughed impersonating spanking Ty’s ass.

  “And you wonder why I ant told you!”

  “That would explain why Kesha‘s all pissed then” Trey piped in.

  “Hey if your with Amelia that makes Kesha free, you mind if I try it on with her?” Ty asked.

  “Sure, go ahead” Lucas replied.

  “As if you stand a chance Ty” Trey smirked. Kesha and Dena joined the group, Kesha avoiding Lucas she stood as far from him as she could without isolating herself from the group.

  “Where‘s Ben” Dena asked.

  “He‘s in the principle’s office with that Inspector Detective or is it Detective Inspector fuck knows he’s with that pig Andy Cole.” Flick replied. The group had all been in now except Lucas, he watching the halls to see if he could catch a glimpse of Amelia, she was walking towards her locker as she put her books in a kid tapped her on the shoulder and passed her a note, she read it and slammed her locker shut. Lucas walked over to her.

  “Hey what‘s a matter?” he asked.

  “I gotta go to the principles next”

  “Why you weren’t even at the party”

  “I know, I guess its coz of the past you know” her eyes started to tear up, Lucas took her in his arms and kissed the top of her head.

  “You‘ll be ok. Don’t worry bout it” he kissed Amelia on the lips and she went to face the police and principle, she was dreading this.

  “Come in” the principle insisted, Amelia cautiously entered the room.

  “Amelia this is Detective Inspector Andy Cole” the principle pointed out a man she recognised from the news regarding the two men who were shot and whom one had his head cut off.

  “Hi” Amelia took her seat.

  “Hi Amelia, lets jump straight in I have a long day ahead and I’m not even through half of the pupils here yet. Now we know you was not at the party Saturday night can you tell me what you were doing please.”

  “I was at my boyfriends all night, he went to the party, I stayed and crashed at his.”

  “And he would be?”

  “Lucas Valentino Sir” the inspectors eyes sparked open.

  “I see. Now I know that you have had involvement with the two that were murdered. Can you tell me why this was?”

  “I used to go out with Jonathan Bury.”

  “And Daniel King?”

  “He was my ex‘s best friend.”

  “Is it true that he raped you?”

  “What has that got to do with anything?”

  “I‘m trying to establish a motive, please answer the question.”

  “Yeah he raped me.” a tear ran down Amelia’s face the principle passed her a tissue.

  “I‘m sorry I understand that this is hard on you”

  “I‘m sure you do.”

  “Why don’t you tell me about you family Amelia.”

  “My mums dead and I never met my dad.”

  “I thought your dad was Vinnie O‘Doud?”

  “He‘s my stepfather”

  “Ok so why don’t you tell me a little about him then and your Uncle Jimmy O‘Doud” Amelia’s face was shocked “Yes we know your related to them.”

  “Just because I live with them it doesn’t mean I‘m related to them sir, I don’t spend much time with them.”

  “Ok. Tell me about their work what do they do?”

  “You will know that better then me, like I say I don’t spend much time with them and I most certainly don’t have anything to do with their business Sir, I live their yeah but at a different side of the estate. I don’t bother them so they leave me be.”

  “Did you know that Bury and King worked for your stepfather and uncle?”

  “No” she genuinely did not know this, she felt sick, had they been in the house her bedroom, she felt faint next thing she knew everything went black.

  “Amelia, Amelia can you hear me are you ok?” she could make out the faint voice of the principle “Amelia, honey can you hear me?” she came round, her vision blurry, the principle helped her to sit back on the chair.

  “I‘m sorry Amelia I guess you didn’t know that, that will be all thank you. Your not a suspect so don’t worry ok, go get a drink and have a sit down.” the inspector instructed. Amelia got to her feet and staggered to the door she turned around and looked at the inspector,

  “Did they come to my house, were they in my house?” she looked scared.

  “I‘m sorry I don’t know.” he smiled.

  Amelia closed the principles door behind her, she slumped down onto the seats outside, Lucas had been waiting for her.

  “Jesus are you ok? You look like you’ve seen a ghost” Amelia did not reply. “Amelia baby are you ok” he place his hand on her knee but she shuddered under his touch, looked up and burst into tears, “Oh baby its ok, its over with now” he held her in his arms, her tears dampening his sleeve. The principles door opened and out walked the principle, he looked over at Lucas and Amelia

  “Lucas its your turn, is she ok?”

  “No thanks to you guys. Amelia I gotta go in now, I‘ll catch up with you in a bit. I love you” she nodded at him, wiping the tears from her eyes.

  “Take a seat, what’s your name son?”

  “Lucas Valentino” he glared at the inspector.

  “Valentino ay that wouldn’t happen to be the mafia Valentino would it from the east coast” the principle coughed he did not know this.

  “Yeah in the flesh why you gonna hold that against me?”

  “Should I?”

  “I did fuck all to them dick heads.”

  “I never even asked.”

  “That’s why I‘m in here that’s why you’ve been hauling our ass‘s in here all day.”

  “I met your girl Amelia right. She seems nice”

  “What’s your point” he snarled.

  “Lucas I mean no disrespect, it was a compliment. So are you two serious then.”

  “Pretty much”

  “Pretty much is that a yes or a no?”

  “Yeah were serious.”

  “So did she tell you about her past with Bury and King?”

  “Yeah”

  “And how did that make you feel?”

  “How do you think it made me feel?”

  “Well if I were you I‘d of been pissed, some cheap ass thugs hurting the girl I cared for.”

  “Course I was pissed, she was a wreck about it.”

  “How pissed were you?”

  “I was majorly fucked off and yeah I wanted to fucking kill them but it don’t mean I did”

  “Did you?”

  “No.”

  “When did Amelia tell you?”

  “A few months ago, so don’t you think if I‘d of wanted to kill them I would of done it then rather then months later.”

  “You might have been biding your time”

  “Please I aint got time to bide I‘m always here at school” the principle coughed “Ok so I‘m mainly here during the day or down at the beach hanging out with the gang and on nights I spend them all with her.”

  “You sleeping with her?”

  “What the fuck has that got to do with anything?”

  “She‘s a pretty girl i bet she’s a good li
ttle mover.”

  “Don’t you think you’re a little old for her” he laughed “I know what you doing trying to goad me into reacting. I aint gonna bite.”

  “Daddy trained you well. What you doing on the west coast Lucas”

  “I came here to get away from home, my father thought it bout time I went to public school”

  “So why not in New York?”

  “I‘m mafia you’ve already said that, it would have been like sending a lamb to the slaughter and anyway California was my choice, sun, sea and girls why not here.”

  “Good point” he laughed “Ok were done here. You can leave.”

  “Gee thanks”

  “Oh Lucas before you go, don’t go leaving California just yet”

  “Why am I a suspect?”

  “Everyone’s a suspect Lucas.”

  The Detective Inspector did not like Lucas, he was mafia and this to him meant trouble and his family name meant a whole heap of it.

  Chapter Fourteen

  “She‘s pretty” Valentino stated as Lucas answered the phone.

  “Who‘s pretty?”

  “Your girl, what’s her name Amelia.”

  “I don’t know what your talking about father.”

  “Cut the shit I can see her on your balcony.” Lucas turned to look at his balcony, Amelia was stood looking over the neighbourhood.

  “Hey Amelia, come in for a few mins I wanna have a smoke.” Amelia nodded in agreement and came and sat on the sofa, Lucas went and stood on the balcony, he lit up as he was surveying the area, he could not see anyone. “Ok so where are you.”

  “I‘m around. I have eyes everywhere Lucas you know that. I thought I told you to get rid of her.” Lucas thought his father must have had cameras installed in the apartment, it was something he would do.

  “I…” he paused “I couldn’t father.”

  “Yeah I gathered so I take it your loved up and the reason you killed them lads was because they hurt your girl. Am I right?”

  “Yes father.”

  “Lucas, how many times did I tell you revenge killings never go the way you want. Did anyone see you?”

  “No father.”

  “Well that’s a good thing at least. So how much do you know about your girl, I mean really know?”

  “Everything father we talk all the time.”

  “I hope that’s not all you do” he laughed “What I mean Lucas is do you know who her family is?” Lucas went quite, he and Amelia had never really discussed their families. “I take your silence means no.”

  “Well yeah I guess it never really came up. Why are you asking this father?”

  “Because son your girl, she‘s an” he waiting a second whether this was for a dramatic pause or because he did not know how to break it to his son “Your girl Lucas, she‘s an O‘Doud.” Lucas’s eyes widened he looked back at Amelia so perfect, so pure, she was not meant for this world to live in it with mafia in her life.

  “No father she‘s not. She‘s to pure to be an O‘Doud anyway her surname is Macalister.”

  “Yeah your right she‘s a Macalister that was her mothers name. Her mother Anna Macalister had Amelia to a dead beat guy, your girl she never met him. Anna met Vinnie O‘Doud when Amelia was seven years old but she died when Amelia was ten ever since then Amelia has lived in the O’Doud estate you know the place, your looking at it now. I don’t believe Amelia is in any way caught up in her step fathers business in fact Lucas I know she isn’t but you gots to be careful. If Vinnie O’Doud even suspects that she’s hooking up with a Valentino this will cause big problems, do you see what I mean?.”

  “Yes father. I never knew.”

  “I suggest you get rid of her and soon Lucas.”

  “Father I… I cant.”

  “We expected you would say that. Just be careful Lucas please, Amelia may not have much time for the O‘Doud’s but if one day she starts talking about this guy she is seeing and names you it‘ll be deadly to both of you. Take care son and please be careful.”

  “Yes father I will.” Valentino disconnected the line on his son. Lucas stood with his hands on the railing and inhaled deeply on his cigarette, he could not believe the girl he loved was part of the same family that he was sent here to spy on, he had no clue what to do or if he should ask her, tell her who is, tell her what he is, would she still love him if she knew he were mafia. All he knew was that he did not want to lose her, she was the single best thing in his life.

  “Hey gorgeous” Amelia wrapped her arms around Lucas, she kissed him so passionately that he was stiff straight away, she moved her hand down to his crotch and under his jeans, he hardened more. “I love you” she giggled unzipping his jeans. Amelia took his hand and walked him to the bedroom, she pushed him playfully on to the bed and stepped out of her jeans, she peeled of her shirt and stood in front of him in her underwear, she wore a dark pink thong and matching push up bra. She climbed ontop of Lucas and was straddled upon him, she leant down and kissed him again and pulled off his t-shirt. Lucas sat up so Amelia’s legs were wrapped around his waist.

  “Hey you, what‘s this? Feeling horny ” she nodding biting her lower lip. Lucas picked her up, her legs still wrapped around him, he shook off his jeans and entered her while he was stood up, Amelia gasped, he lay her on the bed and started thrusting into her. He loved making love to her, she was amazing, perfect and she was all his. They came together and Amelia lay in Lucas’s arms “Wow, how do you do that?”

  “Do what?” she asked sweetly.

  “Make me want to make love to you every second of the day your fantastic. I love you”

  “I love you to” she snuggled up to Lucas and he held her tighter. “Hey who was that you were talking to on the phone earlier?”

  “My father he was just calling to say hi.”

  “That was nice of him.”

  “Hey how come you never talk about your family” Amelia looked up at him and smiled a smile that said she had secrets.

  “Not much to tell really, I never met my real dad he skipped out on my mum when I was little but its ok she fell in love again not the nicest of men they only had three years together and then she died, when I was ten.”

  “Oh god I‘m sorry” his voice showed surprise but his face showed none.

  “Oh it happened a long tome ago”

  “So you and your step dad are you tight and shit?”

  “Nah” she laughed “We never were, he knows I don’t like him and I don’t think he really likes me, we don’t interact at all. He keeps away form me and in return I keep away from him.”

  “Sorry, I bet that’s awkward and lonely for you.”

  “It was” she straddled Lucas again and laid her chest flat on his pushing her breasts up against him. “But then I met you and I‘m not lonely at all.”

  “No your just hyper sexy and a big tease”

  “Tease I don’t think so. Hey if your up for round two then I‘m game” she laughed as Lucas rolled her over and entered her for a second time.

  If Amelia was not going to come out and say who her step father was Lucas was not going to press it, if she knew his family name then he would have had to admit that he was part of their world and he did not want Amelia to know that. Not yet.

  Chapter Fifteen

  The police were interviewing pupils at Cal High for a few weeks and they were coming up blank, no suspects so far, other then Lucas.

  “Fucking pigs still here, why don’t they just fuck off back to the canteen and order another coffee and doughnut?” Trey was not big on the police he had been arrested a few times, nothing major just light possession and kerb crawling, he liked the hookers.

  “Tell me about it they had me in there for like an hour asking me all sorts of shit

  fucking morons” Ty replied “What they say to you?” he asked Lucas

  “Same old shit” Lucas glared at the principles door.

  “Hey I saw your girl in there yesterday, she weren’t at the party wh
at they want

  her for?” Ty asked.

  “She used to go out with that Jono kid.”

  “No shit. I dint see her as a party girl.”

  “Yeah who‘d figure little miss all shy likes shaking her ass for the bad boys” Trey

  laughed. Lucas turned round and grabbed Trey by the neck and pushed him up

  against the lockers.

  “Fucking hell Lucas I was joking, shit man get the fuck off me” Lucas glared at him

  his eyes were dark and cold.

  “Yeah come on Lucas he meant no harm” Ty pulled Lucas off Trey, pushing the

  pair apart just as Detective Inspector Andy Cole walked out of the principles office.

  The inspector looked over towards the scuffle and walked towards them.

  “Not always so calm are we. Lucas I‘d like another word please” the inspector ordered.

  “You arresting me?”

  “No”

  “Then I aint got shit to say to you.”

  “Well we can either do it here or I will haul your ass down town. Now can we talk?”

  “If we must” Lucas turned to Trey “Sorry mate”

  “S‘ok. What they want you for again?”

  “They think I did it I guess.”

  “Why?”

  “Bury and King raped Amelia, they think I got a vendetta against them”

  “Shit well if that’s the case them dicks deserved it.”

  “Thanks for your input Mr Carr but unless you want to come talk to me again I

  suggest you keep your opinions to yourself”

  “Free world Detective, I can say what I want to who and when.” The Inspector just

  looked at him and escorted Lucas into the principles office.

  “What‘s happening? What they want with Lucas again?” Dena asked.

  “I think they think he done it?” Trey shrugged his shoulders.

  “No fucking way. Why?”

  “Amelia. Se was raped by them and they think Lucas did it to score one.”

  “Oh right, they fucking deserved it then”

  “That’s what I said.”

  “So why am I here again then Detective, I thought I answered all your questions.”

  Lucas asked, taking a seat in one of the chairs.

  “I just wanted to go a little more into depth on your time and location on last

  Saturday night, if that’s ok with you?”
