Chapter TwentyFive
**The Next Morning**
I laid happily in Alexander's arms as I slowly woke up and just enjoyed the feeling of his strong arms wrapped around me. I had my head on his chest so I could hear his heart beating and it was such a relaxing sound.
‘I know you’re awake’ I heard him moan sleepily and I looked up at him, smiling.
‘I never said I wasn’t’. I leaned up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips before snuggling back down again.
‘You should move in with me’. I didn’t respond at first because I wasn’t sure if in my half-awake, half sleepy state, I had heard him correctly. ‘Hey? Move in
Chapter TwentySix** A few weeks later **Things had been a bit stressful recently. I moved in with Alex a few weeks ago, as planned and Ron did everything he could to stop it. He really really didn’t approve. Even Jemma told him to just back off and let me live my life the way I want to, with Alex, but he was so flat against it and to be honest, It was starting to drive a wedge between us.Everyone else was happy for us though which was nice. I tried not to get Ron or his attitude to get to me, but at the end of the day, he was my dad and it hurt that he wasn’t supportive of someone I clearly loved very much.Alex told me the night I moved in, Ron had pulled him aside and basically threatened him to try and get A
Chapter TwentySeven**A week later**Alex came back from the bar with Harry and Jackson and proceeded to pass out the drinks. As a sort of ‘’Last Harrah’’, My friends had taken the four of us out for a night out. Jamie’s brother was a co-owner of a nightclub in the city centre and managed to get us all into the VIP section which seemed pretty awesome.I’ll be honest, I was really annoyed when Ron made Harry and Jackson come with us, it was like he couldn’t accept that me and Alex were going away together ‘’unsupervised’’ but of course, he said it was ‘’for our own safety’’. What SS rival is going to follow us all the way to the United Kingdom to attack us?!
Chapter TwentyEightAs soon as we were in the bedroom, I slammed the door closed behind myself and instantly pounced on Alex, making us both fall back onto the bed. I was on top of him so felt slightly more in control than normal, normally he takes the lead but… I don’t know, maybe it was the insane amount of alcohol in my system, maybe it was because I was in my old bedroom and felt more in charge, either way, I WANTED to be in control and Alex realised that pretty quickly.Our kissing continued as we moved into a sitting position so it was easier for me to unbutton the nice, black button up shirt he had put on this evening, and throw it randomly on the floor… followed quickly by my dress and I pushed him back down again, shimmying down his body, trailing kisses, until I reached his trousers. I stole a cheeky look up at him as
Chapter TwentynineBreakfast so the next morning was just so awkward. There was clearly tension but no one wanted to bring it up. So... We sat and ate in complete silence. We all had a simple breakfast of toast or cereal and coffee. I hadn't even looked at Amanda or Jackson, let alone spoken to either of them. Sure, you could argue it wasn't my business, but I just couldn't believe Amanda would do something like this KNOWING he had a family! I was so ashamed of her and I was just flat out pissed off with him.Eventually, what sounded like a Skype call, cut through the awkward silence and everyone checked their phones to see who's it was. Conveniently, it was Jackson’s phone and the caller was Cleo. As he excused himself from the table, I couldn’t help but steal a glance at my friend, she kept her eyes firmly on the table. He didn
Chapter Thirty** Days Later **Ron and the rest of the guys were waiting for us in the carpark of the airport, Alex asked if I wanted to ride home with him or in the van, of course I wanted to ride with him. Ron told the guys that they had business to discuss when we got back to the garage.Jesus, couldn’t we have 5 minutes to relax first? Apparently not..Things had been a little awkward those last few days while we were in England. Amanda never did come back around and nor did any of my other friends. I had text them the last night but none answered. I guess that part of my life was over. It was sad because they were my friends, people I had grown up with, but if that's how it was, then fine. I was more than happy wi
*** Thank you so much to everyone who sent their well wishes and asked about my little boy. He’s home now, thank god. Little bugger, has had hospital ‘’sleepovers’’ every month since Christmas :( Thank you for your patience and understanding, I hope you enjoy the chapter (I know it's short, im sorry) and the ones to come! ***Chapter Thirty OneI pulled dinner out of the oven just as Alex walked in the front door. I smiled to myself, glad that I had timed it, literally, perfectly. He came straight into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.‘What did you make?’‘Nothing amazing, just some homemade Spaghetti Bolognese. I told him.
Chapter Thirty Two** The Next Morning **Alexander’s Point of ViewMy phone vibrating on the bedside table woke me up. The sun was just coming up outside but it was still really early. By the time me and Harley actually went to sleep last night, it was after midnight. She wasn’t best impressed when I told her I had an early morning start to meet Ron at 6 am at the warehouse.She has this idea in her mind that he’s trying to cause drama and trouble for me and her… and the club. I can’t say I didn’t think the same, but there wasn’t much I could do about it... Just try not to let it get to me I suppose.By the time I dra
Chapter Thirty-ThreeRon’s Point of View.I left the warehouse and started riding back to the garage, Only stopping to throw the gun into the creek on the way. It wasn’t on the usual ride to or from the warehouse, so none of the others would ever find it. It was a cheap throwaway, Not part of the club or my own private stash of weapons. Absolutely nothing to point a finger at am.I told Jemma I was working late last night and that I was staying at the clubhouse so even if she wouldn't think twice about me not being there when she woke up this morning. I’d simply tell her that I overslept and missed the meeting with Alex and the DA’s. They weren’t expecting Alex, so the ‘’shot on sight’’ excuse would fly. It would caus
