Alexia Eden (FairyTales Don't Exist) (18 page)

“Jax? W…What are you doing?” I whisper trying to hide the fact that I was drooling over him a few seconds ago.

“What does it look like? You honestly don’t think I’m going to leave you here alone? I know your mom isn’t here…” he says as he climbs and pulls my hips so that my back is flush against his warm chest, he spoons me. He pulls the blanket over, tucking me in and I can’t help but look at his muscles on his forearms and biceps as his arm moves.

He laces my fingers through his that’s resting near my head, just as I did with his hand the first night he slept next to me. He moves his other hand over my shirt by my belly button. I instinctively move my bottom closer seeking more warmth, he lets out a small sigh.

His hand that was near my stomach starts to move toward my hip where my shirt has risen up, my underwear can be seen and felt. I know it doesn’t cover much, because I can feel the bottom of my ass cheeks sticking out. His hands slowly move to my hip as he feels the lacey underwear I hear him take in a sharp breath when he notices I’m only wearing underwear and a baggy shirt. I feel him stiffen against me, he moves his hand toward my ass and I can feel him touching the fabric of my underwear. I suddenly have goosebumps down my back and arms. His giant hand is resting on my ass before he grabs it and pushes himself against me. I let out a soft moan and close my eyes enjoying his touch even though I know I shouldn’t do this to Drake.

“Baby, you’re driving me crazy, your skin is so soft I just want to feel it all over…” he whispers against my ear and I can feel his lips on my neck driving me crazy.

“I know Jax... I don’t know why I’m feeling like...I’m just so confused because I think…I want you too.” I whisper back to him.

I feel his smile against my neck as he holds me closer. “Oh baby, you already have me…” he whispers directly in my ear and then he kisses my neck gently.

I turn around to face him; he puts his one hand on the base of my back and pulls me closer to him so that my chest is against his.

“Jax, I feel like I’m betraying Drake. I can’t do this to him…” I see his eyes falter but I continue. “I know it’s like I’m stringing both of you along but I don’t want to lose you either Jax. I don’t know what it is but it’s just that I know I need you...” I say looking into his eyes as they shine in the moon lit room.

“Lexi I need you to, I’m just happy you finally realized it though. I know you are with Drake and I know we can’t do this to him behind his back and we need to stop but I just can’t stay away from you. I need to touch you and be around you. I know deep down though that fate has everything planned. I want whatever that is between us to happen but it has to happen the way it’s meant to and we can’t rush this. I don’t want you to resent me for breaking you and Drake up.” He takes a deep breath and runs his hand through his hair as he looks at the ceiling then he looks at me as he says. “I think it’s best if we continue as if none of this happened, I’m not going to lie though... it does hurt when I see you and Drake together and just the thought of you two hooking up breaks my heart but I just want you happy Lex. I’ll do anything for you…“ He says as he kisses my cheek and I can see the pain in his eyes so clearly.

“Jax I swear I’m not the whore that I seem to look like these days, I’ve never been in this situation before. I’ve had a couple of boyfriends before but I’ve never really had such an attraction to them like I do with you guys, it’s just when I’m with you I go crazy and just want more. I’m so sorry for putting you through all of this. I don’t ever want to hurt you Jax. It's not as if I sleep around. Drake and I haven’t had sex yet….I mean… I haven’t... I… I’m still a virgin.” I tell him and his eyes widen and a grin appears on his face.

“You guys haven’t had sex yet? You’re still a virgin? Really baby?” he asks me his face filled with awe.

“Yeah we haven’t, I just haven’t met the right guy yet and I at least want to get to know the guy before I jump in bed with him, you know?”

“Babe you are amazing you know that?” he pulls me tighter into his arms, “You are unlike any girl I have ever met.”

“Thanks Jax…You're pretty amazing yourself.” I yawn and snuggle into his big warm body. We fall into a deep sleep against each other.

In the morning after Jax leaves, I quickly pack a bag of clothes and head for the car. I send Drake, Ronny and Jax a text saying I’m about to leave and that I will text them when I get there.

Then I send one to Alex telling her I’m on my way, she replies instantly telling me how excited everyone is to see me.

Since todays a sunny day and the weather is great outside I wear a pair of shorts with a plain navy shirt and my converse shoes. My hair is in its
usual messy braid that falls over my shoulder and reaches just above my belly button.

I park the car where I did last time near the other expensive looking cars. The car is not even switched off when my door flies opens showing a toothy smile from Tyler, I jump out the car and he grabs me in a tight hug.

“We missed you so much love, the days have just dragged on without you. Shit…Talon and I even contemplated sneaking into the other packs territory to come and see you.” he tells me his voice laced with excitement.

“I’m glad you didn’t do that. I don’t want to cause any trouble.” I tell him and he still hasn’t let me go.

“We wouldn’t have minded. We will do anything for you Angel.” I hear Talons deep voice from behind.

“Well…can you um...put me down?” I ask Tyler.

“Oh! Yes! Sorry!” he laughs and I see blush creep up on his cheeks and neck.

“Thanks.” I smile at him as he lets me go only Talon pulls me in for a hug but luckily doesn’t hold me up for too long.

They help me grab my bag as I type a message to my friends letting them know I arrived safe.

Alex runs out from the main pack house where she lives and gives me a hug. I hold her tight and relish in the comfort of her affection, reminding me of how much I miss my mother’s hugs. Alex smells of citrus and fresh fruit, it calms me.

“Oh Angel…we missed you so much, I think you’re going to have to visit us more often. These two wouldn’t stop talking about you!” She says pointing to a blushing Tyler while Talon just avoids looking at us as if it doesn’t faze him. I smile at her thinking about how these grown men are blushing from such a simple comment.

“I missed everyone, I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner it’s just been a little busy with school but I think things are going to start cooling down now especially with exam prep so at least I’ll have more time on my hands to visit.” I tell them as I walk with them into the house.

Johnny walks into the lounge where we’re all laughing and joking. “You’ve arrived! Why didn’t someone call me?”

“Honey, we didn’t want to disturb you in your office.” Alex replies.

“You should have called me, I don’t mind being disturbed when it comes to Angel here.” he chuckles.

“Why does everyone call me Angel?” I ask out of curiosity after he hugs me and we sit down, I notice Johnny stiffen next to me before giving Alex a panicked look.

“It’s the name you were supposed to have and we thought it suited you best when you were born but Georgina decided to call you Alexia.” Alex says and I can’t help but notice the sourness in her voice when she mentions the part about Georgina, she should be happy, my parents named me after her.

“Yip, Alexia Charlie Eden…they had quite the imagination didn’t they?” I say with sarcasm.

“Charlie?” Johnny blurts out, his face softening. “Your second name is Charlie?” he sounds as if he’s in shock and his pale face confirms this.

“Yeah? They told me they were supposed to have a boy and dad wanted to name his son Charlie but I popped out so they used Charlie as my second name instead.” I tell Johnny and notice that both Alex and Johnny have huge smiles on their faces.

“No love, you were
definitely
supposed to be a girl. Charlie is actually my first name but everyone calls me by my second name - Johnny, which is short for Jonathan. You see my father and I share the name Charlie so it confuses everyone having to Charlie’s around so everyone adapted to calling me Johnny instead.” he explains with a proud grin on his face. “But you will always be our Angel.” he says.

“Why don’t we show her the lake?” Alex asks looking at Johnny.

“Yeah good idea, but first we have a surprise for you Angel, come with me?” Johnny says as he puts his arm over my shoulders and guides my up the stairs towards the direction where Tyler and Talons rooms are.

He walks to the room that’s next to where I slept the weekend before.

“Open and have a look at your new room.” He says with a big grin on his face, I cannot believe how much he reminds me of my father. I think its most probably because he’s a big man just like my father was, he has the whole don’t take crap thing down even though he’s got a heart of gold on the inside. I notice his eyes share the same qualities as mine do. They’re forever changing.

My eye colour tends to shift according to my mood or the weather my eyes are either a dark blue or a green colour but most of the time they are a mix between the two. When it’s really sunny like today, my eyes go more towards a vibrant blue but when it’s rainy and gloomy they are mossy green, it’s rather strange.

I blink outta my daze as I turn my attention to the door as I open it, I instantly spot the colour of the walls, my whole room is purple and black with silver trimmings it’s not a little girl’s room….it’s a room fit for a woman.

“Wow…” I sigh as I walk slowly into the room taking in my surroundings. The three walls are painted in a brilliant purple colour. Where my huge bed is, is a black wall that has Victorian patterned wallpaper in black with tints of purple and silver. My side tables are all black wood and my bed is one of those dark wood
 slay beds, it’s absolutely massive covered with silver silky bedding and plenty of pillows.

On the other side of my room is an antique dressing table with a huge oval mirror. I walk to the window that turns out to be doors which open up to a tiny balcony. I feel the thick soft curtains beneath my fingertips, they’re thick black lace with the same Victorian style on them. I walk to one of the doors in my room and open it to find a huge cupboard filled with clothes. I step out and take my shoes off to feel the huge fluffy silver carpet underneath my toes and I let out a giggle.

I look up to see Alex, Johnny and the twins all standing near my doorway staring at me in silence. I didn’t even realize they were there because I was too engrossed in my new room. Alex has tears running down her face with a smile and Johnny looks like he’s about to cry any moment now. The twins are smiling at me as always. I feel something wet on my cheek. I touch it and look at the teardrop on my finger.

Damn! I didn’t even realize I was crying.

I smile at them, and rush over to give Johnny a hug, I squeeze him tight. “This…this is really… my room?” I ask him.

I look at his face and see his eyes are watery, he’s trying desperately to swallow his tears away and he clears his throat.

“This is ALL yours Angel, I hope you like it, the boys mentioned that you like purple, and Alex basically designed the whole room for you. I noticed you like wearing dark colours to so I made sure she didn’t make it too girly for you.” he winks at me.

I give a weeping Alex a hug followed by the boys, “I can’t believe you guys did this for me! I’ve never had something so beautiful before, you don’t understand how much I love it! This means so much to me. I can never thank you enough!” I tell them wiping away my own tears and try to catch my breath.

“Honey we need to make up for the 17 years of your life that we missed, this is the very least we could do. We want to make you feel at home because this is your home, here…with us. Even if you don’t decide to stay here when you finish school, it will always be your room and you’re always welcome here.” This only makes me cry harder and hug her tighter.

“You haven’t seen the best part yet.” I notice Johnny roll his eyes as Talon says this and Alex giggles and shakes her head.

“Look behind door number two.” Tyler points to the door near my bed and balcony.

“I'm scared…” I say cautiously as I walk the distance, they all laugh.

I open the door and peak through only to find that it links to a bathroom, the bathroom has a huge shower and tub with a wide mirror that takes up the one wall of the bathroom by the two sinks. I let out the breath I was holding in.

“Nah-ah, open the other door.” Talon says pushing me towards it shaking his finger at me, I look behind to see naughty grins on both of their faces. I open the door just like I did the bathroom door, slowly. As I open the door I see a bed beside the same wall my bed is against, it’s someone’s room.

No not
someone’s …
the twins.

“Really guys? My door better have a lock on! The bathroom too!” they look at each other as if they’re up to something and then they run, each going to one of the doors and stealing the keys that were in them.

I chase after them throughout the house until I’m out of breath. “Okay, you guys win! I give up!” I laugh trying to catch my breath.

“You guys ready to go to the Lake?” Alex shouts from downstairs.

“We’re coming!” we shout back in unison.

“I’m quickly going to get my swimsuit.” I tell the boys; luckily I decided to pack it just in case.
