Morning came around pretty quickly, with a quick morning stretch I cleared the sofa of the blankets and went back to my room. My bare feet padded against the cold wood making me shiver.
With a yawn I gently opened my door to see James laying so still you'd think he was dead, the blanket covered half his body leaving the rest out to be seen....by me cause he's sexy.
After I put the blankets away I sat on the bed and started to shake him harshly, this guy is going to take at least 10 years to shower and get ready, I cannot be late today.
" James....James wake up " I groaned whilst pushing his solid muscles, his face atayed unnervingly still making me groan again. Dammitttt I'm gonna kill him.
10 minutes of constant shaking and groaning did nothing, he still lies in my bed with his face looking peaceful and his body relaxed. Ok then Mr dick plan Emily might wake you up.
Taking in in a deep breath I calmed myself.
Ready steady go.
" Omg James Emily is screaming!!!" I yelled into his ear with fake fear lacing my tone, out of no where James' body jolted from the bed and out of my room. Damn I'm good, laughing to myself I patted my back with a smirk, well done Ava you deserve a fucking Oscar.
A minute later James ran back into the room with his jaw and fist clenched, he looks furious,
"Ava what the fuck" he whisper/yelled at me, his intense gaze burned into my soul forcing a shiver to run down my spine. Literally ruining my whole mood.
" James it was a joke" I yelled back, He held the door frame with such pressure his hand started to turn yellow, as I slowly stood up James quickly grabbed his shirt from the chair before storming out of my room.
What the fuck was that.
After minutes of revaluating everything I did I made my bed, pushed my feelings down and walked towards Emily's room.
" hey Em" I whispered as I stepped through the splintered door frame; her eyes met mine with gloss covering them. There's worry radiating of her.
" James ran out of my room angwy, is he mad with me" she quivered, her breath started to shake and I knew exactly what's coming next, crying; the old routine.
" no baby don't worry he just went home to get clothes" I said as I stroked her silky hair. Pulling her into my lap I rocked her back and forth whilst whispering sweet nothing's intending to calm her down.
After Emily stopped crying I got her changed and got ready into a pair of black skinny jeans and a black tank top with a black hoodie and trainers, I don't want to be noticed, I don't know what to do with his bipolar ass.
He just apologised yesterday yet here he goes again doing the exactly same thing, what am I to do.
Leaving home was a hard thing to do, I had to convince Emily that everything was fine. She made me promise the boys would come over today, this would be the only promise I won't be able to keep.
Once I got into school I headed straight for my locker. I can't miss classes so hopefully this day will go by quick with no interruptions from James or the guys.
Unfortunately he was right there, James was stood a few feet away from my locker speaking to Aiden and Connor, they seemed to be in a heated discussion. Look away Ava it's none of your business, I had to tell myself.
I'll just ignore him. Taking out my English and maths book I tried to ignore the lasers burning into my back. I hope it's not him that's staring.
As I started to walk away I felt someone grab my legs, the person threw me over his shoulders easily causing me to drop my bag and book.
For a second I thought it was a random man but the whiff of air around me fixed the puzzle, his Paco Roban trophy scent flooding my nostrils.
"James you dumbass let me down" I screamed whilst pounding on his back, he ignored my pleas and carried on walking. There wasn't many people littering the hallways but they still could have helped, they stood still and watched in shock. Pussys.
After a minute I went quite, my screaming wasn't doing nothing but hurting vocal chords.
He opened a door and I was dropped onto a table, I glared at James but he stuck his usual blank expression on.
" why would you do that" he asked calmly, I was confused for a second before it clicked, why did I pull a joke are you fucking kidding me?
" it was a joke, you wouldn't wake up so I decided to do that, why did you become so damn sensitive" I accused angrily, my anger from this morning adding to the blood being forced into my head.
James didn't say a word, silence falling over the tense atmosphere. I can't deal with this shit right now. Pushing the chair out of my way I began walking towards the door, just as I reached for the handle James pulled me back roughly.
" I'm sorry" he whispered for the second time, I looked at my trainers trying to avoid piercing gaze but that's until he gently lifted my chin forcing me to stare into his emotion filled eyes.
" Ava please listen I'm sorry" I couldn't help but reply.
" why did you do that, Emily cried when you left, she though your anger was because of her" I said in hope of understanding his random outburst, his face looked confused, as if having a mental battle with himself. Taking a deep breath he sat on the table behind him, running a hand through his hair again. He does that when he's nervous.
" fuck baby" he grumbled insider his breath.
" I'm...I'm a"
James pov FINALLY " I'm a gangleader" I mumbled quietly, I was afraid of this, of her being afraid of me. I finally got the courage to look back up and all I saw in her eyes was worry." James" she whispered looking at her feet and then back up at me. I could see fear in her eyes, pure fear. Well fucking done James you've scared her away." I can't" was all she said before she left the room taking my rotten black heart with her....... Shit I sound like a bitch now. She didn't even listen for the whole story.She doesn't know why I'm here, she doesn't know what I've been through or what I've had to deal with.I can't fucking let her walk away from me like that, not many people make me feel. Ava's pov Shit. He's a gangleader How could I not see this coming. Nothing ever goes right for me I should have fucking expected it. I have to take Emily and leave fast. I'm not risking anything if they find us this time we're going to die, don't get me wrong I don't care about my life whatsoev
I stared into his bluish orbs trying my best to force the words out of my mouth. They wouldn't come out. James gently held my hand rubbing them to make me feel better. " I...I was abused" I whispered slightly turning my head so I don't have to look into his disgusted eyes. Taking in another deep breath I started with the full story. " I was abused every day by my parents, I kept Emily safe by hiding her they forget she even existed" I laughed with no humor present in my voice, wiping away the falling tears I kept my eyes glued to the floor." one day I decided to escape, so we ran, I stole money from my dads safe, he had millions but I only took a few thousand, yes I was a bit stupid. We ran here to start fresh" I'm not even near finished, he hasn't even heard the most important part but he interrupted me." I'm so sorry Ava" he said as he pulled me in for a hug, " but why did you run, you know I can protect you" he whispered huskily into my ears, I looked up at him and wiped the
We had been in the penthouse for a few hours and James had been in his room since he showed us around. He said he had some business to take care of, I tried not to dwell on the word business to much.The clock hit 9pm, Emily and I were busy watching spongebob whist James was still stuck in his room. I should probably go check what he's doing. Slowly pulling away from Emily I nervously walked towards his door and knocked three times. After a few seconds I heard a 'come in'.
After I put Emily to bed I walked into the room opposite. The walls were black and white and so are the bed covers, there's 2 other doors which I'm guessing lead to a closet and a bathroom. Like his office there was again nothing sentimental or anything that reflected a home.This penthouse feels like a pretty prison.
I woke up on top of a hard yet soft rock, oh wait it's James. Snuggling deeper I sniffed him by accident. Honestly he smells so fucking good all the time. I was too busy in my sniffing moment that I didn't feel his body shuffle under mine. Oh shit, he probably thinks I'm a weird sniffer person." good morning avyy" he sighed, I internally smiled at his beautiful morning voice, mumbling a morning I stayed laying on his chest comfortably until his phone rang.
James povI woke up with the feeling of guilt floating in my stomach, maybe it's because I know I have to tell Ava that Im going to kill her father.I need her help to do it.
I woke up to an empty bed,I almost started to scream when I realised James definitely had her, it's hard to get used to this. Slowly crawling out of bed I fixed my clothes before walking towards the living room.James sat feeding Emily pancakes, the amount of happiness shining on his face in this moment is slightly unbelievable. Aiden and Connor would not believe the sight in front of them.
Stopping my body from shaking I slowly stepped out of the room whilst wiping the sweat of my palms onto my black trousers.Looking up from the ground I stopped mid step when James gasped in shock. He gleamed up at me in shock.My face was coated in light make up bringing out my greenish blue eyes. I left my bru
This is just an overview of everyone's lives 10 years later , after Angel is bornAiden is now married and his wife is pregnant, him and James are still best friendsConnor is a single pringle and still has his playerish ways, he had a serious girlfriend when he was 21 they wer
5 years later" James get your lazy ass downstairs now" I yelled, hearing his loud footsteps coming down the stairs, I gently sat on the sofa leaning my body against the back casually." baby I'm sorry I was changing are you ok" he asked before glancing down at my large p
I woke up spooning with James and let me tell you he didn't just wake up with stinky breath if you know what I mean ?.Before he had to go work he made sure I remembered the date.It was 6.00 when I finally checked the time, obviously I'd be late to our first date. Ja
I don't even think I remember getting up from Julie's lifeless body never mind be back at James' penthouse. When I woke I was laying down on James' bed, staring at the plain white ceiling....... I BLOODY KILLED SOMEONE.Whilst I was cursing myself in my head James walked into the room, he laid beside me and pulled me in for a hug. Snuggling into him I slowly closed my eyes lost in his musky fragrance.
James and I got into his BMW I8 and the boys got into a charger. We left Emily with Dixie and got ready for our long journey ahead.We reached the mansion in 5 hours, I held my feelings down and balled up my fist, before zipping up my hoodie. We still had Ricardo locked up so the security would be tight but I know the flaws since I've already escaped twice.
" Jammmesssss" I mumbled into his chest, he did not move an inch. I'm not usually a morning person but I needed to get the mission over and done with. With one last huff I slapped his chest and slid out of the warm cozy bed." Ava what the fuck" he yelled, smiling at his reaction I started gathering my clothes for the mission. Turning my head towards the sexy man in the bed I threw a hanger at him.
James came two minutes later and hugged my frozen body, I leaned into his warm embrace and couldn't help but let the tears flow." hey baby it's ok, I promise you never have to see him or have anything to do with him again " he whispered, he lifted his head and kissed my forehead trying to make me calm down, Sighing slowly I wiped the remaining tears and let go of him.
Stopping my body from shaking I slowly stepped out of the room whilst wiping the sweat of my palms onto my black trousers.Looking up from the ground I stopped mid step when James gasped in shock.
