Jack’s POV
I was surprised about how much fun we all had making dinner with Charlotte. As soon as we sat, and I had my first mouthful I almost groaned. The flavours and texture were just amazing. I now hoped that we could get her to cook for us more often.
I was so happy when Grant brought up her cooking more often with us helping. I made her a promise that I would make sure that she had at least one person to help her at all times. She even made us chocolate cake for pudding. How had Phillip treated someone so perfect so shit?
Once we were done Charlotte collected all the dishes and started to clean up the kitchen. I glanced over as I was about to get the men to help when I noticed that she was bent over, and I could see right up her dress. I glanced at the men and thankfully they did not seem to have noticed.
“If any of you dare look towards the kitchen I will doc your fucking pays for a month. I want you too to get up and leave now&rd
Charlotte’s POVWe pulled up outside the office and I did not want to get out of the car. I wanted to ask Warren to keep driving. Jack climbed out and offered me in hand, damn I could not get out of this. He looked at me with so much affection that I could not abandon him. I took his hand and let him pull me out of the car. As soon as I was out his arm went around my waist and he leaned down to give me a soft kiss on the cheek.“I promise you will be safe, if they try to hurt you, I am sure that the men will fight over who gets to shoot them”.I could not hold in my laugh as I looked around at the men who were all nodding enthusiastically. “Ok I guess we should get this over with then” I groaned as Jack started to steer me towards the entrance.As soon as we entered everyone stopped what they were doing and observed Jack with his arm around me. I could feel them turn their attention to me with hatred. I had gone from been no
Grant’s POVI was worried about Charlotte going to the office this morning. I was sat having breakfast with the others and Jack and Charlotte had still not come down yet.“Do you think she is trying to pull a sickie” I asked.“I was thinking the same thing, I have never known Jack to be this late coming down before. Do you think that one of us should go up and check on them?” Ryan asked.“They will be fucking” Lance advised as he took his empty plate into the kitchen.“I agree with him” Warren chuckled.Sure, enough they both emerged with smiles on their faces.“Took you long enough” Ryan laughed “We have already finished our breakfast”.“Just swing by a shop and grab us something to eat on the way then”. Jack called over his shoulder as they walked towards the car.The others quickly followed behind leaving me alone in the house. I
Ryan’s POVIt was Monday morning, so I was up making breakfast. I kept glancing at the stairs but both Jack and Charlotte had not come down yet. I was used to Charlotte being up and ready for her work out with Warren. I guess that now she was able to walk she didn’t really need the sessions anymore, but what about Jack? He used to always have a workout before breakfast too. Grant was the first one up and came and took his spot at the table. I saw him glance at Jack and Charlottes spots, but he didn’t say anything. Warren and Lance came next, and we all sat and started to eat. I could not stop looking at the empty spots wondering where the hell they both were. We had all finished our food and they had still not come downstairs.“Do you think she is trying to pull a sickie” Grant asked.“I was thinking the same thing, I have never known Jack to be this late coming down before. Do you think that one of us should go up and check o
Jack’s POVSince Charlotte’s desk and computer had been set up, she had been busy working. I kept looking at her hoping that she would notice and look back, but she did not notice at all. By lunch time I admit I was over it and wanted some attention. How can she sit in the same office as me and not even glance at me once? I got up and walked over to stand behind her “Stop working, you made me skip breakfast and now I am hungry” I moaned. “That was on you not me, I was just going to have a quick shower”.“And I wanted a quickie in the shower” I laughed causing her to blush and hide her face so the guys could not see.It didn’t work and they all laughed even harder at my comment.“Arsehole” She grumbled as I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her on the cheek.“Yet you keep coming back for more” I chuckled as I moved her to my side and left the
Charlotte’s POVI had finally finished setting everything up on my computer. I glanced over at Jack who was focused on what ever he was working on. I suddenly felt naughty so sent him an email advising that my legs were shaky and asking if he could assist me to the bathroom. I watched him as he glanced at me confused, I gave him a wink and watched as he went back to his computer I hoped to read my email. Suddenly he was out if his seat and walking towards me.“Let me assist you princess” He chuckled as he lifted me into his arms.“Are we leaving?” Ryan asked looking at his watch.“Nope” Jack told him as he walked me towards the bathroom, as soon as we were in, he closed and locked the door behind us. “Do you actually need to pee?” He asked as he placed me down.“Yes” I giggled as I ran into the cubicle and closed the door. I did my business and went back out to wash my hands. He came
Grant’s POVFuck that was an intense tattoo session, everyone was walking on eggshells and Charlotte was giving Jack the cold shoulder for the whole time. I was glad when it was finished, and we got to leave. I had never been so happy knowing that I came on my own, so I did not have to ride back with the others. I got on my bike, and I arrived back before the others. I decided to wait in the kitchen to see if we were getting takeout or if Charlotte would be cooking for us again, though after that session I was not sure she would even want to be in the same room as Jack. I hoped that they would be able to work though it as Jack had been so much happier and more relaxed since they got together.The others arrived back, and Charlotte was the 1st one though the door, she did not even glance as me as she went straight down the hall to her old room. Fuck I guess she really was mad. Jack came in with the others and they all looked broken.“Where
Charlotte’s POVI was so angry at Jack, I ignored him the rest of the session with Reece. I could tell that the others all felt awkward, but I was just so angry. Once we arrived home, I did not even think and just stormed off back to my old room. It was not till I sat on the bed that I realised where I was, and the fear set in. I quickly closed the curtains and made sure that the doors leading to the patio were locked. I was not risking anyone getting in. I sat on the bed and started to think about what happened, maybe I had overreacted. I would not be happy if Jack sat around in his jocks in front of a heap of women. By the time Ryan came to get me for dinner I had calmed down and was just feeling embarrassed about the way I reacted. I sat down and gave everyone a weak smile. Jack returned with the food and looked at me in shock as he placed the food on the table and grabbed some plates before finally sitting down next to me.I ate silently while sneaking glance
Jack’s POVI watched Charlotte caressing the steering wheel, I guess she liked driving. Maybe I could go out with her one weekend and let her do the driving. I was about to climb into the passenger side when Lance stopped me.“Let one of us, we can keep an eye out and shoot if anything happens. You will be safer in the back”“What about Charlotte?”“I will keep an eye out for both of you” he told me as he pushed me towards the back of the car while he climbed in the passenger side.Once we were all seated Charlotte started the engine and took off. I was glad I was in the middle seat so that Ryan and Warren could stop me from going flying. “Not a rally car” I called out.“You guys drive this beast like a bunch of nanas let me drive it like it deserves to be driven” He laughed as she floored it around another corner. We arrived at the office with a screeching of breaks in record
