James entered my apartment with a balling Emily in arms, I prepared to take her but he only walked away from me before I could try.
" give her to me " I asked as I locked the door and threw my keys on the coffee table.
"no" he whined, rolling my eyes, I left them in the living room both of them struggling whilst I went to change into my Batman nighty shorts and shirt.
Walking out of the room my eyes widened at the sight in front of me, I couldn't help but gawk. James paced the room rocking Emily gently trying to make her fall asleep as he mumbled sweet nothings into her ear.
"hey" I mumbled throwing my clothes into the laundry, as I stood up I noticed James staring at my shorts with a smirk. Damn pervert.
" go have a shower" I said hurriedly, a weird feeling hitting me, please don't tell me I'm starting to like this man. I pray I'm not, there's something up with him and I can't pin point it.
" Fine, I'm taking her back as soon as I'm out" he said as he walked towards my room.
"She's my sister jerk face " I yelled at his retreating figure, he only shrugged and disappeared in my room.
How quick do men get attached, GOD.
Taking Emily to her room I changed her into a onesie and placed her on my bed, she was already half gone. Thank god for that I needed to get my clothes in the laundry before I get to sleep. With her awake I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
I ambled to the dirty clothes corner, yes I have one of those. Who doesn't?
Bending over I grabbed a majority of the clothes.
"Damn" I heard from behind me, my face turned beet red. Dropping the clothes back on the floor I turned so quickly that I think I got whiplash.
"JAMES" I yelled at him, instead of replying he jumped straight on my bed and laid by Emily pulling her into his arms. Even though it looks very cute he shouldn't be on my bed.
"what are you doing?" I curiously asked, he was supposed to sleep on the sofa not beside Emily and I, a small smile made its way onto his face
" your sofas too small I don't fit" he said as he rolled onto my side of the bed ugh dammit I don't have it in me to me to argue.
"ok well move your ass that's my side" pushing him away from Emily I pulled her close.
••••••••••••
Stretching the sleep out of my body I sighed, last night was honestly the bed sleep I'd had in so damn long. I didn't worry or have to worry about Emily.
" James, get up" I mumbled turning towards where he slept last night, as the room became clearer in my blurry eyes I shat myself. They're not here, James and Emily are not here!
"Jamessss!!!" I screamed in panic through the corridor, nothing. No please god no. Panic shot through my body as I started running.
Sliding into the kitchen relief washed over me as I spotted James holding Emily by the table feeding her pancakes. A sigh escaped my parted lips as I walked towards them.
"what happened to you" James chuckled, I rolled my eyes annoyed at the fact that he doesn't understand.
"well I woke up without my sister next to me you dummy" pushing his arm away I grabbed a pancake and sat down, I tried to grab Em but he only pulled away sticking his lower lip out. Dammit why does he have to look hella cute doing this.
"want a picture sweetheart" he smirked, my whoremones need to calm the hell down. Turning around I hid my smile.
"Oh shut up man whore" I playfully pushed him he didn't move an inch, why's he gotta be strong for.
"I'm going to get Emily ready" I said taking her from him.
"don't take to long" he yelled across the corridor. Ok this man needs some help, I need to push him away. He's already toooo attached, what if something happens to the guys because of me, it can't happen again.
Pushing the negative thoughts away I put Emily in some black joggers, a red top and her trainers. I placed her on the floor and grabbed my clothes from the closet. When we were both happily ready I opened the door and watched Emily run towards the living room.
James lifted Emily from the ground, " my little monsterrrr" he cooed.
It was then I realised that he had different clothes than he wore last night on.
"where did you get the clothes from" I asked, my tone laced with confusion.
"I had spares in my car" woah this dude is prepared isn't he. Shrugging I checked the time, it's 7.50 this is too early.
"Where do you drop Emily of when you go to school?" James asked as he put Emily on his lap, she grabbed his neck and started to slap his face gently. It's so weird how close he's gotten to her in literally a day, same for her. She usually only talks to Dixie and I.
" next door" I murmured before sitting next to them, he muttered an ok then turned on the tv flipping it straight to Emily's fav channel.
" yeyyy pappa piggg"
James's pov
Last night I slept at Ava's and I can't lie it was the best sleep I've had in such s long time. I haven't slept since everything went down. I woke up hugging Ava in an iron grip, it felt good almost natural but I can't carry on with this, the Red Dragons may find out and use these two against me. I know I only met this girl yesterday but she has a weird effect on me and Emily reminds me of my.....
I can't get too attached fuck. People gonna be like you only met her yesterday how the hell are you in her bed and honestly I don't know, she has this inviting aura that surrounds her which she most likely doesn't know about. It attracts anyone and everyone, it's slightly worrying.
After we all got ready I sat on the sofa holding Emily close I can't get attached, was what I kept telling myself but it's already happened........
James drove us to school today, I didn't feel like walking at alllll.We reached school slightly early, the car ride was filled with James chatting about the weirdest things in the world and me playing along. It's been quite a while that I've been able to relax.It's worse than yesterday, everyone is gob smacke
I woke up to a firm grip on my waist, his warm breath tickled my ear causing butterflies to erupt in my stomach. Damn it why's he doing this to me, slowly jiggling around I got out of his grip and ran to the bathroom. I gotta pee so bad I swear if he didn't let me go I would've peed right there.I need a damn shower, who else wakes up in the morning sweating buckets, it's not just me. Dropping my clothes I took a 5 minute shower. Emily usually wakes up around this time.
"James get your fat ass out of the shower we are going to be late" I screamed through the corridor, I've made breakfast and even cleaned everything up yet his ass is still showering.I swear I thought it's women who take longer to shower yet this man has been in there for a good hour." chill out chicken"
Dixie could tell I was in a bad mood, she handed me Em with a small smile.I changed Emily and I into our nighties before sitting on the bed, she sat beside me mumbling weird words. Usually I would concentrate on her but today my mind isn't letting me.... He pissed me of and I let him. I didn't even do anything.Emil
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.
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'.
