My face is in front of his chest, his abs are defined and every time he breaths you can see the hard muscles move, he’s so gorgeous and I can’t help that I want to touch him. I run my hands gently down his stomach and he shivers under my touch, I hear him groan.

I giggle and softly kiss his chest; I kiss my way up to his neck, slowly and gently. I notice his eyes are still closed but his face holds a smile. I work my way towards his ear and suck on his earlobe causing him to moan into my ear, he puts his large hand on my hip and pulls me against his firmness so he’s now pressing against me.

He whispers with a rough voice into my ear as I continue to kiss up and down his neck, “Babe, see what you do to me? It’s all yours baby but… if you carry on kissing and leaning against me… we’re going to be late for school… because I’m not going to be able to control myself.” I moan at the images that he gives me but give him a quick kiss before I get up.

“You’re right and if I don’t stop myself right now …I might just let you...” I wink at him as he playfully tries to catch me and run to the bathroom with clothes before he can.

I take a long relaxing shower and steal a few more
 of Georgina’s pain pills that helped with the pain yesterday. I put on some skinny jeans with my boots and a tee with a hoody over since it’s pretty cold today. I put my hair in a messy bun. I don’t put a lot of make up on apart from some eye liner and mascara. I look at my watch to see that we only have half an hour to get to school. I walk into the kitchen and see Drake in different clothes making scrambled eggs and bacon.

I pour us some orange juice. “Drake, you didn’t have to make us breakfast." give him a kiss on the cheek. "Did you go home and change?” I ask him as he dishes me some food onto a plate.

“Yeah I took a quick run up there, had a cold shower and collected my car.” He winks at me.

I laugh at him, “That’s was pretty quick huh? How was that shower? Cold enough?” I wink back at him, and he laughs.

“We better hurry up or we’re going to be late for school.”

We arrive at school just as the bell rings; we keep getting the odd look from people when they see us holding hands. I saw Jax and Ronny in the hallway and they gave me hugs but Ronny just ignored Drake.

I’ve got to make this right
.

The morning goes by quickly and now its lunch time, I share a lesson with Jax before lunch so we walk out the room together. I‘ve noticed that Jax has been pushing all the girls off him this morning and he’s not his normal flirty self. He puts his arm over my shoulder and walks with me to the cafeteria earning me dirty looks from the same girls that Jax has been avoiding.

“How you feeling baby?” Jax asks me before we get to the table.

“I’m feeling much better thank you, the pills actually helped with most of the pain, I’m just a little stiff. Thank you for all your help yesterday Jax.”
  I put my one hand around his waist and give him half a hug.

“Jax? Why do you call me baby?” I ask out of curiosity.

“I call you baby because you’re so small and adorable, and even though you have a boyfriend now, don’t think I’m going to stop calling you that. And it’s a pleasure BABY!” he smiles and winks at me, I can’t help but laugh. I playfully roll my at as we make our way to our eating spot.

I sit between Drake and Jax at the table and I notice the awkward silence. I look at Ronny who’s chatting to everyone besides Drake and I can see that this is hurting him.

I ask Ronny to take a walk to the bathroom with me quick and she agrees. As soon as we get into the bathroom I look in all the stalls to make sure no one’s there then I sit on the counter by the sinks and fold my arms and raise my eyebrows at her waiting for her to explain.

“No Lexi, don’t look at me like that! I’m still mad at him and I’m not going to acknowledge his company until I calm down.” She says but I can’t help notice her hesitance and the hurt in her face, I know she misses chatting and joking with him like they usually do.

“Ronny please, I was also mad but you weren’t there when it happened. He wasn’t himself and as soon as he saw he was hurting me he stopped. You don’t understand how sorry he is and how much he hates himself for doing it. Please Ronny I forgave him, please just forgive him too? I know you can see how much this whole situation is hurting him and it hurts me to see both of you ignoring each other. Please Ron… I know you miss the fun and happy Drake.” I beg Ronny.

“Yeah he does look pretty depressed, okay I’ll do it - I’m doing this for you BUT if he EVER hurts you like that again I WILL hurt him Lexi!” she says in a serious tone.

When we get back to the table Ronny gives Drake a quick hug and Drake smiles and the mood is instantly lighter. Drake looks over to me and kisses my cheek and thanks me.

“Lexi, our parents are all going for dinner at Milo’s Bar on Friday night and they’ve been hearing us talk about you so often that
 they wanted to meet you-"  Ronny says before she's interrupted by Jax.

“They won’t stop hounding us; do you want to meet them? I mean ,it’s cool if you don’t or whatever.” Jax trails off.

“What! Of course I want to meet your parents. I thought you guys were embarrassed by me or something because you haven't really introduced me to any of your family.” I ramble on.

“No Lex. Don’t ever think that, I think we’ve kept you away from our parents because they are most likely going to embarrass us!” Drake says as he looks at the others and they nod in agreement.

"Wait till you see Jax and Ronny's dad! They’re so scary! Ron's dad isn't so bad but Jax's dad ...gosh!" Chloe says in a hushed voice to me and I start laughing at her expression.

“I remember when Ron said something about you guys living together? Do all your parents live together also? I’m confused…” I look at them and they look like they’re trying to come up with an explanation.

Jax explains for me though, “Our parents are all best friends like us, there’s a couple of cabins that some other family’s live in whom are  also friends of my parents and their cabins surround our house, which is the um…main house. We all stay in the right wing of the house and the parents are on the left side but when we’re all eighteen our parents have already decided that they are going to travel so the house will become mine. The house is so big that’s its basically two houses in one because we have our own kitchen and lounge or whatever but it’s just easier for all us kids to stay together on the one side of the house so we don’t bother the adults you know?”

“Oh okay …I see. Shit, that’s cool though, you stay there too Chloe?” I turn my gaze to Chloe who has become rather quiet.

“Um…no…I’m not a … um … I mean no… my parents stay in the complex's near the Mall.” She stutters with hesitance.

“But as soon as we leave school Chlo will move in with me, right Chlo?” Ron asks Chloe holding her hand.

“Of course Ron.” Chloe replies looking happier.

“You guys are too cute together.” I blurt out making the boys next to me shake their heads and smile while Ronny just blushes.

I haven't been to my secret little fountain for a while so I haven't see my brown wolf because I've been too busy with my friends and school. I called Alex and Johnny a couple of times throughout the week and they say they miss me and I need to visit, I arrange with them to come over Saturday night because mom usually stays with her boyfriend or at Amber's and she leaves me the car. I’ve also been texting Talon and Tyler constantly, those boys are too funny – they can’t wait to see me.

Schools been cool and Drake and I had our first date on Tuesday night , he took me out for dinner at the only Italian place in town, followed by a heated make out session in his car by the beachfront parking lot.
Cliché I know.

We are just so attracted to each other that we always need to be touching when we’re near each other.

Chelsea and the bitch squad have been avoiding me throughout the week and I’m so thankful. It’s already Friday and tonight I meet all my friends as well as my boyfriend’s parents for the first time. I’m pretty nervous, people are so quick to judge appearances and with all my tattoos and piercings people usually get the wrong impression of me.

Thankfully Georgina isn’t working at the bar tonight, she’s staying over at her boyfriend’s house so she won’t make a scene in front of everyone.

I decide that I’m going to wear a dark purple dress of moms; it’s not too short it comes mid-thigh but I’m going to put black stockings underneath with a pair of flat indigo pumps. I place a navy blue cardigan over the dress and put my hair in a neat bun. I decide that a Smokey eye using purple and a dark blue to match my outfit is a great idea.

Looking in the mirror, I don’t even recognize myself because I look pretty good. I lounge in the sofa near a window as I wait for Ronny to fetch me.

“Lexi you are gorgeous!” my mom squeal’s from the kitchen holding a wine glass wobbling her way toward me.

“Where you going dressed up all fancy?” she slurs.

“I’m meeting Drake, Ronny's and Jax’s parents tonight for dinner. Apparently they want to meet me.” I tell her as I pick off a piece of handing cotton off my cardigan.

“Wow. That’s nice, just make sure you put out a good impression because Jax’s parents are important people in this town and I don’t want them to think I raised a careless weak little girl. You better respect them and not be all cocky like you are with me.” she says in a snotty tone taking another gulp of her wine.

…and that… just puts a damper on my mood… why can’t she just be happy and encourage me like she used to, now she just has a way of making me feel more shit and unworthy
.

I hear a car pull up outside and I get up to go. “Don’t worry
Georgina
I won’t embarrass you or make them think you “
raised
” someone weak.” I sarcastically say as I slam the door closed.

I jump inside Ronny’s white Mini Cooper. “Damn! You are one
 SEXY MAMA tonight!” Ronny squeals as she checks me out.

“Ronny!” I playfully push her and I can feel I’m blushing.

“Don’t look at me like that or I might tell Chloe you’re checking out other girls!” we both laugh as she raises her hands up in defeat.

We walk into the busy bar and head to a table near the stage, there’s a band of older men playing Bon Jovi cover songs. Ronny grabs this tall man who’s wearing a tight black vest that shows all his muscles with dark jeans. He has shaved spiked black hair with some grey hairs on the sides, his skin is tanned just like Ronny’s.

She pulls him around so he’s facing me, “Dad this is Lexi!” Ronny says.
Oh this is her father; yeah no doubt he’s scary looking!

I pull out my hand to shake his. “Hi, it’s nice to meet you-” he moves my hand away and pulls me in for a hug and I can see Ronny laughing behind her father at me.

“Oh nonsense! Give me a hug, I know so much about you, you’re practically my long lost daughter!” I laugh at him.

”You can call me Uncle Mike, okay Lex?”
  I nod and he pulls me through the crowd toward a table.

“Charles, Alice, meet Lexi, Lexi this is Drakes parents.” I look at the couple and they look quite young. Drake's father
 looks like an older version of Drake but I think Drake might be a bit taller. Drakes mom is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, she has a short blond bob and I can see where Drake gets his dimples, she is short but taller than me of course.

Alice squeals and gives me a hug. “It’s so nice to finally meet you! I’m so happy you and Drake are together, your absolutely beautiful sweetie!”

“Yes you most certainly are! It’s good to meet you love, we have heard so much about you!” Charles says to me as he gives me a hug.

“I'm so happy to meet everyone finally-” I stop talking when I feel someone tugging on my dress. I look down to see a little blond boy with the most beautiful brown eyes.

I bend down so that I’m eye level with him, “and who might you be?” I ask the boy.

“I’m Donawin, are you the bewtiful Lexi?” he asks me, I giggle at the cute
 pronunciation of his words.

“Yip that’s me! The one and only beautiful Lexi.” I smile at him and hear the people around me laugh, I always wanted siblings but mom said I was enough for her all on my own.

“Come Lexi, let me go introduce you to Jackson’s parents, they’re dying to meet you!” Alice comes and puts her arm through mine guiding me through the crowd. I watch Charles pick up his son and hold him close.

“Frankie, Scarlet, this here is the one and only beautiful Lexi.” I laugh at her repeat of Donavon and
 my words. She laughs with me.

Frankie is tall and good looking just like his son, he’s the same height as Jax but he has neatly combed blond hair. He’s big built like Jax and you can see the muscles in his arms through his shirt. Where my uncle Johnny looks like he could belong to the mafia Jax’s father looks like corporate mogul.

The way he presents himself oozes authority and power and I can’t help but be a little fearful. This time he’s the first to pull me into a hug and swing me around, he laughs as I squeal. He puts me down and I can see everyone else’s faces look surprised at what he just did. From the way Jax talked about his father, I thought he was an uptight, strict emotionless zombie but he seems fine to me.
