Without Jaxton (Loving Jaxton Book #2)

ruined - chapter 18

Rylee's POV

The next morning I'm woke up to the sound of Jax's breathing in my ear. He's softly cuddling into me and we're holding each other perfectly, I'm wrapped in his embrace, and our legs are together. I rub his arm when I wake up in our position. We're spooning and the position makes me laugh.

I yawn reaching for my phone to try and look at the time but, it's dead. I grab Jax's instead and see the time, it's seven, way too early. But what stops me is what message he has this morning.

Good morning! I can't wait to see you! It reads as my gut turns. What the fuck? I look over my shoulder and see Jax still sleeping before I open his phone fully. And my heart drops to my ass, I feel tears whelp in my eyes, and vomit wants to rise in my throat.

"Oh my god" I whisper looking at the name. I never thought I would see that name, and now, my heart can't take it. Poppy Jenkins.

The tears whelp in my eyes and I feel them leaking down my face before I sprint out of bed and leave Jax there, naked. Naked after what we woke up in the middle of the night and did, and naked after he went to the kitchen to get water and came back harder and ready for more last night.

By the time I've shut the bathroom door I'm in a full blown sob. I can't believe this, he-, I can't function. I believed him, and a part of me wants to hold onto hope that she means nothing, but I also know she's his past, and she meant something to him or he wouldn't have fucked her. Immediately I dress myself, I can't believe I actually gave him my body again.

I find the closed toilet and sit down on the lid before shutting the sliding door to it so I can cry in peace. I'm a mess, a fucked up mess.

I knew it was too good to be true. I'm wiping my tears constantly, and trying to hold back my sobs when there's tapping on the bathroom door. "Ry baby you okay?" I hear Jaxton's voice and immediately my anger flares.

I yank the bathroom door open and immediately meet him face to face before reaching up and slapping his cheek. "How fucking could you?" I ask him through my tears as he grabs my hands and pushes me into the wall so I can't move.

"What the fuck is your problem?!" He asks angry flaring from his nostrils.

"Really? You think I'm this stupid! You fed me bullshit! I thought you cared, I thought you really meant you wanted this but no. You're fucking another woman behind my back?!" I shout at him with blurry vision from my tears.

"What the fuck are you talking about Rylee? I'm not fucking anyone but you!" He shouts at me as I try kicking him away from me. That only fuels him to push me harder into the wall, not enough to hurt me, but enough to keep his grip. His full body weight is against me when he reaches up and holds my jaw in place.

"Stop crying." He tells me as he wipes my tears. "I can't when you've hurt me again! You promised me Jax!!" I shout at him as he sighs and pulls away.

"I didn't do shit! What the fuck is wrong with you?" He ask walking away to put his hands on his hips.

"Is there something going on you'd like to tell me? Because from what I thought we were finally okay." He tells me as I now look at his body, with the boxers covering his private area. I wipe my face when I look into his eyes and I can tell he's confused, he thinks I'm stupid.

"You fucked Poppy. Why else would she be texting you? Good morning I can't wait to see you? Do you think I'm that fucking stupid! My phones dead and I wanted to check what time it was so I could check on the kids but no! No! You're whore is texting you and obviously needs some good dick to hold her over until you fuck her again so you know what stay the fuck away from me!" I shout walking towards the bathroom door to walk out.
