Chapter 26: Jolene
Jovie's POV
I stared at him.
I must have heard him wrong. There's no way. Absolutely no way he said he lost all of our money. The money we needed to get to LA.
Even though I was absolutely dreading going to LA, I knew we had to get there. I knew the diamond had to be sold.
Did Reno somehow forget that?
"How could you?" I asked. "Reno, what the fuck? We needed that money!"
My yelling seemed to sober him up a bit. "Jovie...I...I thought I could win."
"Well you didn't. You lost!"
"Yeah that was true before I stepped foot in this casino." Reno mumbled.

Reno's POV I was relieved to see Jovie squirming until he brought her back up. “Now that’s something I missed.” Xavier grinned. “You don’t see angry at me.” Jovie pointed out. “Look where I’m living Jo. What do I need to be angry about?” “Well the whole...situation.” I was confused. Was this about what Jovie’s parents stole from him? “Water under the bridge baby. Especially since you're still as gorgeous as the day I stole your wallet.” Xavier smiled. “Well I hope you keep a tighter grip on your wallet and phone than you did that day.” Jovie smiled slightly. “Is that Hobbsey?” Xavier asked with a grin on his face. “Lookin good!” “Nice to see you, Xavier.” Hobbs grunted. “And you are?” He finally looked at me. “Reno. Jovie’s boyfriend.” I said firmly. His eyebrows raised. “Oh. I see. You have a type Jo. What happen

Jovie’s POVI was shocked when we entered the dining room to see the whole gang there. Dallas, Scotty, and Dewey.“Jo!” They chorused.I was buried in a hug from the three boys. I laughed happily. I really had missed them.“Alright enough!” I laughed.I surveyed the three guys in front of me. They hadn’t changed one bit.Dallas had a goofy grin on his tan face. The freckles decorated across his nose were more prominent than ever. His dark blue eyes were crinkled in joy and happiness. He was always such a positive force.Scotty flipped his long brown hair out of his face. His snake bite piercings gleamed in the light as he grinned. His large brown eyes looked me up and down, taking me in. It was like he forgot what I looked like and now he needed a full on reminder.Dewey was the tallest of the boys. Standing at six five he seemed like an intimidating dude, but he was a

Reno's POV “Fuck!” Jovie screamed as Tommy fell to the floor. “Oh fuck, fuck, fuck! Reno I fucking shot him!” “Um...he-he shot you first baby.” “Like a week and a half ago, I don’t think this counts as self defense!” “We gotta get out of here. People probably heard the shot, come on!” I pulled her arm. “Do I take the gun?” Jovie cried. “Definitely!” “Wait!” She said. “What baby?” I asked. “The donuts.” Right, of course. I quickly picked up the box and we hauled ass out of that alley. We hopped into Xavier’s car and I drove off quickly. “Holy fuck. I shot someone!” Jovie laughed. “I actually shot someone! I know I should feel bad, but I feel like kind of a badass!” “You were a badass.” I glanced at her. “Did you see yourself back there? Holding the gun and giving that ultimatum. That was so fucking hot, babe.” “Yeah? I

Jovie’s POV “So...Jo. When we meet this guy about the diamond, I need an appearance from Olive Atkins.” Xavier informed me. “Wait who?” Reno asked. “Olive Atkins is my alias. She’s done a lot of bad shit.” I stated. “Well do I need an alias too?” “Um, actually, Reno. My man.” Xavier winced. “It’s gonna have to just be me and Jovie for this. Can’t have too many people there, it might scare my guy off. Dallas said he’s real suspicious.” Reno frowned. “Oh,” “That’s okay, right baby?” I asked. “Um, sure, of course. Getting it sold is all that really matters to me anyways.” “Okay. You can stay with Hobbs. You guys haven’t had alone time in ages.” Reno couldn’t help but smile. “You’re right about that.” “I’ll come back and we’ll have the money and then we can go to Greece and fuck on the beach.” I smiled. Hobbs cleared his throat. “Yeah, you’ll get over it.” “Sounds perf

Reno’s POV “You scheming motherfucker!” I exclaimed. “This was your plan all along! This is why you agreed to help sell the diamond. So that you could get rid of me and try to get her back.” “Look, man, that was not my initial thought.” Xavier put his hands up. “It’s just being around her again made all the memories come back. I miss her and what we had isn’t done.” “Yes, it is! It’s been years. She’s in love with me now.” “And where has that gotten her? Beaten up by the rich prick! Shot! Chased across the country!” “And where did your love get her? Getting involved with armed robbery? You know, you’re the reason she even got back with Jasper to begin with? She had to go back to him because you fucked everything up here and she had to go back to that house where her parents didn’t care about her and allowed her to be hurt! At least I’m trying to get her away from that!” “By putting her in more danger?” Xavier asked. “Has her life been

Jovie’s POV“Reno?” I called, running into the bathroom. He wasn’t there.Oh no, he left. He went to a casino! He’s losing all the money we just got. He was going to be dead because there would be no more money to pay Vigo with. He was going to be killed! I was actually going to lose him!I’d have to go back to New York. Or maybe I could go stay with Mom while being depressed for the rest of my natural born life because the one man I loved even more than myself was gone. My world would be crushed. I’d have nothing to live for. My one true love would be gone.I would never get married or have kids or grow old with someone I loved. My life was over.“Jovie?” I turned and saw Reno standing there.“Reno!” I ran over and jumped on him.He lost his balance and luckily fell on the bed with me on top of him. “Hey, babe. What’s wrong?”I kissed him

Jovie’s POVMy head felt foggy and disoriented.My vision blurred as I opened my eyes and tried to focus. I was in a dimly lit room, on a mattress.

He looked positively thrilled to see me.“The great Jovie Wimberley seems afraid,”“You think I’m great?” I whispered.“Is anything serious for you?” Tommy asked.
