Well nothing more happened last night. I finished and Rexford was very happy to help me out. God he gives me butterflies.Rexford booked our trip and it will be so much fun. We packed a bag each and left soon. We will be gone for two days.I text my mother about our plans and she says to be careful. I grab my bag and head downstairs. Rexford is already waiting outside. When I step out he opens the car door for me then he gets in the driver seat. He seems a little tense but hides it. After all, it's not a normal trip. He's got a lot of work and will probably have to have a good plan to get what he wants. I usually ask about his work. He does what needs to be done, I am more than happy to help but he likes to do it himself."I'm happy I could come with you" I say looking out the window as he drives. "Well I thought I needed you if I lose control." He mumbles. I smile. I like that he can calm down when he is with me. He never loses his temper when he's with me.``Okay so I didn't know
CHAPTER 21*REXFORD'S POV*The food was good. We both finished our dinner. I am waiting for Lucy to get out of the bathroom so I can shower. She's been in there for quite some time now. I've made myself a bed on the couch. Since the fucking hotel couldn't get it right. Tomorrow we will be getting a new room at least.She walks out of the bathroom. She's so perfect. She takes a seat on the bed and looks over at me. "Are you just going to stare or get in the shower?" She asks, smiling. "Can't help it if you look too good," I mumble. She gets all shy and red. I like it when she blushes.***I took a shower and put some pants on. I realized I forgot my shirt outside so I went out to grab it. Lucy watches me the whole time from the bed."Should we sleep?" She asks and I nod. "Yes we have to be up early tomorrow." I say. I move over to my couch and get comfy. She tucks herself in the bed and we sit in silence. "Good night, Rexford," Lucy says.I've never had anyone tell me that in the past
We are still in bed. The sun peeking through the curtains. Rexford's arm is under my head and the other one around me.I had no more nightmares this night. Could it be because I felt protected by him? He held me like this the whole night and I loved it. He's not not the type to comfort people. But last night it really felt like he was worried for me.Rexford starts to wake up when I move a little. I get out of bed. "Good morning" I say with a smile on my face. "God you killed my arm" he mumbles, his eyes not open yet. "It's not my fault you put it there" I say back. I suddenly remembered. We kissed last night. Was that just a dream because it felt like it? I don't get to ask much when Rexford stands up and gets ready for breakfast.***I take a bite out of my sandwich not knowing what to say. Rexford hasn't talked much either. I swallow. "So...about last night" I say as he immediately starts smiling. "What about it?" He says like he doesn't know we just had our first kiss. Well the on
I woke up feeling so happy. Rexford lays beside me and I turn to face him. He looks so peaceful. So much happened last night and I have to say it felt good. So good we fucked so many times.I am now very sore in that area. God it hurts. I don't know if I will be able to walk. But I'm happy it was with him. I try not to wake him when I get up from bed.Shit I can't walk. It hurts so bad..I grab the wall to get myself to the bathroom. Nope this isn't working. "Rexford" I whisper his name. He wakes up to the sound of my voice. He rubs his eyes to wake up then looks at me with a soft smile. I'm only in my underwear and a shirt."What is it love?" He asks sleepy. "I'm so sore I can't walk" I say and without hesitation he gets up and walks towards me. "Wait really, I'm so sorry" he apologizes. "I really need to be able to walk" I say smiling. "Don't worry I will carry you for a whole week if I need to" he says then scooping me in his arms. He carries me to the showers and tears fall down m
*REXFORD'S POV*The ambulances have arrived. They take each body and put them in the cars. Lucy is still crying in the living room. She's on the floor not able to get up. How the fuck could I let this happen. I should've been there protecting her family. Fuck.I don't want to cry. I don't do that. But seeing Lucy so broken hurts my heart. I move over to her as I get low to where she is crying.I don't know what to do. When my mother died I had no one holding me, how do you comfort someone so broken. Whatever I say, it won't make her happy. So how will I fix her now?I reach for her back rubbing it because that's what others do. I've seen it in movies. I want her to know that she has me. She isn't alone. But how will she believe that when she saw her family dead on the couch. She grabs my shirt and pulls her face towards my chest. Crying so, so freaking much."I...I need to know they are fine" she lets out sobbing. God how do I tell her that they are not fine. I think she knows that but
*Lucy's pov*We have spent the last two weeks at the hospital. When I get too sad or tired Rexford brings me home. I haven't eaten today. Well not for many days. Rexford tries so hard to make me feel better but I don't think it can be. Nothing will ever get better.I haven't talked much to Rexford or anyone to be honest. I'm just so empty. It's like I have nothing left. My body won't eat or talk.I'm in bed right now and Rexford knocks on the door. He steps in with a plate in his hand. He has brought me food these past two weeks even if I don't eat it he brings it every morning, lunch and dinner. "Morning love," he says, putting the plate on the bedside table. I give him a smile as he takes a seat beside me.He moves his hand to my face and gently rubs his thumb on my cheek. I close my eyes to take in his touch. "Feeling any better?" He asks. I don't answer meaning no. "I brought you breakfast, '' he says, smiling. "Thank you but I'm not hungry" I mumble."Rexford, please you haven't
Alex has a hard time walking as normal. He follows me as I lead him to the car outside the hospital. Rexford is in the car waiting for us. I step inside the car. I sit in the backseat with Alex. Rexford looks once in the mirror to look at my brother in the back. And something in his eyes changes. Relief.He's so relieved Alex is alive. Even if he hasn't admitted it."Thank you for picking us up," Alex says. "I did it for Lucy"Rexford answers with a straight face. What the hell. Why would he be rude right now? I mean I know how he is to other people. And how he was to me in the beginning but like he's my brother. "Rexford" I say hitting his arm from behind.Alex then turns to me "I told you he's a fucking bitch with anger issues" Alex says. "What the fuck did you just say..." I cut Rexford off before this escalated. "Both of you stop it! Can you just get along for an hour" I say annoyed at both. I just wish they gave each other a chance.Alex sighs annoyed. When we arrive Rexford walks
"Well when will I meet this Rexford for real?" Alice asks because last time they met she was very drunk and said some things she probably doesn't remember."Soon I hope, I just have to convince him. He's not much of a fan of guests" I say knowing that he probably doesn't want to meet her. "Anyway it's time for me to leave, and one more thing I won't be working here anymore I've told Mr Leo. But we will always be besties" I say, hugging her."I know Mr Leo told me but I'll see you soon anyway and don't ignore me this time" she says smiling. I'm so happy to finally have a best friend like her. I've always had friends but never those I could open up to.I walk back home and step inside the house. I see Rexford talking with Chris. I am happy because I haven't seen him in so long. We get along well since we train together. "No way, Rexford!" I say running up to hug him. "Hey you left me for training alone for weeks" he says, hugging back. I laugh out of joy.Then I realize Rexford watches
