Her Heart

1206 Words
Aurora loved her Aunt.  Sophia was the woman Aurora would be if not for her childhood. If not for her f****d up ass life.  So beautiful with her thick brown curls, caramel skin tone, and big hazel eyes Sophia was the envy among women. She had a curvy body that was still supple and perky in her late thirties from not having children, and the biggest heart.  The only thing is, her Aunt Sophia irked the young woman with her daily reminders that Aurora wasn't normal.  "You run around murdering people like you're freaking Tony Montana! One day it'll get you in trouble or killed!" Aurora almost banged her head on the table, "You make me want to snort cocaine like Tony Montana."  Smacking her niece with her wooden spoon Sophia snapped, "Don't be a smart ass!" Aurora sighed, "Sorry." Sophia softened and walked to the young woman she had always struggled to love. "You're starting to frighten me. This vengeance, this lust for revenge,  it'll swallow you whole. It'll break the sweet heart I know is still in there."  Aurora couldn't face her aunt who sighed and went back to dinner. Aurora walked to the backyard and sat on the porch with her knees against her chest.  She knew Sophia was trying to help.  But damn did she wish she'd keep her opinions to herself. Of course she would tell anyone else that in a heartbeat. But telling her aunt  to piss off would not go over well.  Sophia had already put up with so much of her s**t. She couldn't keep putting her through it and be a b***h to her too.  Not like how she use to be... When Aurora was sixteen, living with her Uncle Pablo and Aunt Sophia had been a drag. She missed Mexico, she missed her godparents. But Sophia had stuck her nose in their business and her uncle had demanded she be sent to live with them.  Years after just sending money through the mail on birthdays being their only form of contact.  Now he suddenly had the balls to demand her to come live with him. All on the begging of his barren wife.  Aurora had been pissed to say the least.  She knew her uncle of course, had seen him multiple times in the last few years. But what she didn't know was why his wife felt the need to question how she was being raised. It didn't make sense to Aurora on why she got an opinion. Or why that opinion had her uprooted to another country.  When she got there Sophia tried to get the young girl to warm up to her. But Aurora was more interested in continuing her training. Staying up late pounding the bag, tossing daggers at the lemons in the tree for practice.  Using her Double Eagle Sniper Riffle BB Gun on the neighborhood kids for practice.  Sophia finally got pissed enough to confront the young woman. She barged in her room to see the young girl hitting the neighborhood bullies who knocked over their trash cans.  Sophia groaned, "Listen I know this is a transition, but you can't keep doing this." Aurora huffed pissed off, "You are not my mother and I do what the f**k I please. Now piss off you fugly puta."  Sophia roughly snatched the riffle from Aurora's hands and she glared down at her, "You do not speak to me that Aurora! You keep this up and I will-." Aurora laughed,"What? Ground me? b***h please."  Aurora turned and looked out the window wanting her to go away now. She hated the uppity mexican woman who might as well be as white as Britney Spears.  Sophia shook her head in defeat, "You're not even trying! You're so happy to be miserable and I don't know why." Aurora rounded on the lady pissed, "You're right! You don't know why because you don't know s**t about me! God Mama Adena told me all about you though."  Aurora snorted ripping her riffle out of the weak woman's hands, "The barren, spineless,  wimp that made uncle quit the familia all because she couldn't handle it. You're the reason why he wasn't there for his family."  Sophia's jaw wobbled as she fought tears, "T-that's not true." Aurora mocked her, "T-that's not true. Please, you know it and so does he." Aurora pushed past the weak lady, "I'm just trying to help you!" Sophia wailed lost at how this was going down the drain so horribly.  Aurora rolled her eyes, "No you wanted a child so badly that you sneered the way I was being raised so I could be brought here. You thought I'd bridge the huge as hole in you and uncle's marriage but I can assure you I won't. I'm not your daughter and instead of trying to be make me be, you should just take up knitting. Not get the f**k out of my room before I show you what your insides look like."  Aurora had been a b***h.  A mega supreme b***h to her aunt. Still hurting inside and having no way to release it, she lashed out on everyone. Her the worst for not condoning her rage.  "She means no harm." Looking at Cypher, the hunkering black man that her uncle hired to watch over all of them, she nodded, "I know."  Cypher sat beside Aurora, and she kept silent. Cypher was a friend of sorts, he had her back in certain situations when she needed to get to a target. But if he had a better chance at a distance then she'd let him do it for her.  Cypher was handsome, with his tall built physique, crew cut wavy hair, and big lucious lips. He was sexy in every way and his smooth chocolate skin made every female want to nip and suck on it. ' She would have if she hadn't been so f*****g damaged.  He would have been a great partner in every sense. But just thinking of trying to be with him made her blood chill in fear.  The only thing she feared in this world, was supposedly the most naturalist thing in the world.  "If you know this then why are you looking so down? Didn't you just get another? You're usually more upbeat." Aurora instead asked, "What do you know about Stephano Ricardo?"  Cypher hummed in confusion at the change of topic but replied, "He's a retired businessman. He runs a lot of business downtown but he's passing the reign to his eldest. Mateo I think."  Aurora smiled thinking of the man who chased after her, "And do you know what those business consist of?"  Cypher stared at her, "The legit or illegal?" Aurora giggled, "Both if you don't mind Cy." Cypher smiled a little, "Oil, booze, and Electronics for the legit. Illegal, I don't they'd meet your criteria babes."  Aurora hummed, "Humor me." Cypher sighed, "Drugs, weapons, and there's rumors millions of dirty money being cleaned through their business."  Aurora nodded, "I need to get my uncle to pull the father."  Cypher glanced at Aurora as the sun began to die down. "Why? Is he a target?" Aurora shook her head slowly, "I don't know...but I want to make sure he's not."  Cypher snorted, "Why? Who would care?"  Aurora didn't say it, but the concern in the mans' voice brought him back to the fore front of her mind.  Mateo would care.  And for some dumb as reason that was enough for her.
