Jack’s POV
She hopes that my dreams come true, does that mean that she wants to marry me too? I could not get the grin off my face as the waiter came over. Thankfully it was a male, so I did not need to worry about them being rude to Charlotte. I was getting so sick of it that I wanted to start shooting them. Once we had all placed our ordered the waiter quickly left. I could not blame him, the men all looked angry after the way the maître d treated Charlotte. I could not blame the guy for feeling intimidated.
“Are you ok” I asked.
“Of course, why would I not be? I am in a nice restaurant with you and our entourage” He laughed motioning to the men at the other table.
“Because of the way that woman looked at you, I don’t want you to feel hurt by other actions”.
“Jack, I spent the last few years of my life been abused. I can take a few dirty looks and comments”.

Charlotte’s POVJack has been so sweet to me, I cannot believe he notice me getting food envy when the boys got their mud cake. We got into the car and made our way home. I wondered if Grant would be there when we arrived. I still felt bad that he did not come with us. Once we got back, we all made our way to the lounge since Warren and Lance had decided that we should all watch yet another movie. I had started to realise that was all that they liked to do in their spare time. I had watched more movies since living with the boys then I had for the last few years living with Phillip. Jack sat down and pulled me on to his lap, I let out a sigh as I got myself comfortable. I grinned when I saw Grant come in and Jack patted the seat next to him for him to sit down and join us.“Did you find anything out today?” Jack asked him.“I did, Phillip has moved back into the house that he used to share with Charlotte” I noticed him watching me a

Jack’s POVI tried to watch the movie, but it was so hard to concentrate with Charlotte on my lap. I kept looking at her instead of the movie, then when she caught me looking and pulled me down for a kiss, I lost my control and spun her around to straddle me. I deepened the kiss and could not contain my moans, fuck I have never wanted anyone so badly in my life. Then fucking Ryan had to go and open his big mouth and ruin our moment. I glared at him after Charlotte excused herself and left the room.“You’re a twat do you know that”.“Sorry, but I could not resist boss. I have never seen you lose it like that before and I did not think that Charlotte would be like that”.“Well now you have all embarrassed her” I growled.They all looked away bashfully.“You are all going to do something to apologise to her” I told them as I got up and went to find Charlotte.I entered our room,

Charlotte’s POVAfter our bit of fun in the shower I was feeling more relaxed, even after the conversation about babies. I had no idea Jack even thought about having kids, to be honest I had never thought about having any before now either. Maybe it would be nice to settle down with Jack and start a family.Once we were all cleaned up and dressed Jack forced me to face to guys and carried me down the stairs. I was not impressed, I was not ready to face them and see the looks of disgust on their faces. They had to deal with women throwing themselves at Jack all day, and here I am fucking straddling him while they are trying to relax and watch a movie. Jack sat me down in the kitchen and turned me to face the guys. I didn’t want to do this, I tried to stand up while telling the guys to just forget that it ever happened. Only Jack was not allowing that and pushed me back down on my seat. I wanted to curl up in a ball, I did not want to do this.But they

Jack’s POVI 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
