ログインIt's day five, and the pattern only continued.Today, I decided it was going to be in my room the whole day. I skipped breakfast, and everything I was going to do was on my bed.I could hear him downstairs with our Mom and Dad.My phone was beside me on my bed.An unexpected knock came on my door at about 9 AM. "Scarlett?"Mom.Shit."Come in," I called out, sitting up fast with my laptop open.Mom entered with a very concerned face. She sat on my bed. "We need to talk."Uh oh."I'm working," I tried, showing her my screen.She wasn'tdeterred."What's going on with you and Jax?" I deflected. "Nothing. We've both been busy. Ask him, he's been busy."Mom shook her head. "You're avoiding him. It's very obvious now."I can't deny that."We're just in different places," I admitted, struggling to explain. "It's complicat... It's not... It's not complicated, we're just growing up."Mom's worry was very clear and obvious."It's just it Mom. Growing up."Tears started forming on my face. I co
Day three of space, and it was starting to become very unbearable.My new strategy was to avoid him completely. Wake up earlier and leave before he's up.I set my alarm for 6:00 AM. I'll fix something for my self. Breakfast alone would be safer.It worked. The kitchen was empty when I got downstairs. Mom was not down yet, and i had coffee, by myself.I left the house before anyone else woke up.My guilt at actively avoiding him was growing. This wasn't just space. This was running. But it felt necessary.I went to a coffee shop paid for a drink, dropped it on the table, pulled out my laptop and started working. Time passed. Morning started turning into afternoon, and that space, being outside of the house gave me the chance to be able to do work. Real work.I didn't return until past 8 PM. They've already had dinner.Mom had saved me a plate. She saw me when she wanted to get out of the kitchen, so she just turned in and started reheating it."You missed dinner." She asked when I go
The ray of the orange morning light shown across the room, waking me up, and the first thing I did was remember last night. The conversation, and the pain returned immediately. Freshly.I checked my phone. There were no messages from him. And I could say i expected My certainty was still there though. I did the right thing. It's painful, very painful but still the right thing to do.Time to get up. Shower, get ready and have a boring day.Down the hall, Jax was probably waking up too. In his room where he'd barely slept, I was guessing, probably staring at his ceiling, replaying our conversation, and every single thing in his head again.Everything I said, the questions i asked. They were probably killing him.His certainty was probably unchanged though. It's real, she'll see eventually.But the waiting, that has to be torture.I tried to get ready, and I did. It was my normal routine. The dread was real for both of us. How to act, what to say, and how to pretend everything is norma
I was pacing my room rehearsing words in my head that I knew would hurt him. My heart was racing, and i was literally dreading this conversation but I had to do it.The day was very short, and very long at the same time. It's just five minutes until midnight, and Mom and Dad were asleep. The house was very quiet.My certainty kept wavering. This was going to hurt us both so much. But it was necessary. I've texted him to come, and I'm waiting for his response, or knock on my door.My phone buzzed, and the screen lit up.Jax: "On my way"The soft knock came just a few minutes after I got the text. I'd been expecting it but it still made my heart jump.I took a deep breath. "Come in."He entered, closing the door behind him and locking it automatically. When he turned to face me he was smiling, and that made everything worse.He started coming toward me, his arms were already reaching to pull me close like this was normal. Like we were normal.I put my hand up. "Wait."He stopped immedia
I woke up alone.The bed was empty, cold from where he'd been. I remembered our new rule, and thought about how it's the right decision.But fuck, it felt lonely.I checked my phone. 7:03 AM. Time to get up and have a normal Monday morning like nothing happened, or change.Except everything had changed.My body was very aware of last night. I was feeling sore everywhere. The kind of sore that came from twenty-two edges and being fucked thoroughly after.My jaw ached slightly from the gag. My wrists had faint marks that would probably fade before afternoon. My pussy was tender in that satisfying way that made me remember exactly what we'd done.I stood under the shower letting hot water soothe everything, and my mind kept replaying the crazy moment.The crazy moment when I heard Dad's footsteps, and I saw the doorknob turning. How close we'd come to everything exploding.What if he had walked in? Opened the door instead of just checking it was closed? Seen us naked in my bed, with Jax'
The doorknob was turning in slow motion. My heart completely stopped. I couldn't breathe.Jax was behind me, his arms were still around me, and we were both stark naked. My mind raced for explanations. None of them worked. We are both fuck.The doorknob kept turning, almost open.Then it stopped.It stopped halfway and turned back. The footsteps moved away, down the hall. Toward the guest's bathroom.The bathroom door opened, and closed.Oh.OH.Just a bathroom trip in the middle of the night. What's wrong with their bathroom? And what's with coming here?Coincidence?My breath released all at once. I didn't even realize I'd been holding it. It was gasping and shaking.Jax exhaled behind me. "Jesus Christ," he whispered.We were both trembling. Adrenaline, terror, and relief, all at once.My heart was still racing. It wouldn't slow down. That was too close. Way too fucking close.We stayed frozen, listening to the bathroom sounds. The sound of the water, just a normal middle-of-the-
My eyes opened slowly, and I realized it morning.I woke up first, and I was still in his arms with my head resting on his chest in that same little spoon position. I like it tho.His chest was against my back, and his arm was heavy across my waist. Very possessive like he owns me, even while he's
Dad and Mom were waiting at the bottom of the stairs, they were both dressed impeccably.Dad was in a tailored black tux that was crisp and clearly very exquisite and very luxuriously looking. Mom was in the same dress we snapped with few minutes ago. An elegant navy blue gown with diamonds glitter
I reached back and found my zipper, pulling it down carefully. The dress was expensive even if it was completely ruined now.Lexi was doing the same thing, her pink mini dress coming off."God this wine is so sticky," she complained."Tell me about it."It wasn't really awkward between us, we've ch
We walked through massive double doors. They were coated with gold and ornate, and reflecting the light in rainbow type of waves.The ballroom opened up before us and it was an absolutely breathtaking sight.It was cool and cold. There were crystal chandeliers hanging everywhere, and marble floors
