Take me Home

Chapter 44

They both talked and laughed as they ate dinner and when they were finished, Marcus cleaned up as Jade moved the pillows around to be more comfortable. She uncrossed her legs in the most un-ladylike fashion and leaned back into the pillows and waited until Marcus came back. She reached over and grabbed her laptop and turned on Netflix because the removalist had taken her tv the other day along with most her furniture.

When Marcus came back he saw Jade lying on the pillows and scrolling through Netflix.

"Any preferences?" She looked over her shoulder and smiled at him.

"Nope. You pick this time." Marcus came over and sat next to Jade and rearranged her in his arms. He wished every day would be like this. The week had been good, and he found himself growing closer to Jade on a more personal level. Looking back, he could see how much of an ass he was to her. He also realised that he could have lost Jade for his selfish and arrogant ways before he even got to truly get to know her. He knew when he left on tour without telling her was a dick move and something he would regret for the rest of his life, and it made this appreciate Jade even more because she was giving him another chance after all his fuck ups.

He watched as Jade put on 13 hours and snuggled into his arms. He smiled to himself because this was one of his favourite movies. They both watched the movie in each other's arms and before the movie even reached halfway they both fell asleep tired from the busy day they both had.

"Come on Jade I didn't mean it like that." Marcus pleaded as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"I don't care you're being an ass," Jade said as she turned her back on Marcus and went to help Sophia put plates away. It had been a stressful morning for Jade and Marcus wasn't helping by being a moody, jealous bitch. Looking at her newly renovated kitchen Jade was happy with the lowered marble bench tops that contrasted the dark look of the kitchen. The kitchen was a decent size with a standard size kitchen bench in the middle and a lowered bench which created an L shape which connected to the cupboards. Sophia smiled at her and handed her some plates to put away.

"I have already said I am sorry, what more do you want me to say. Do you want me to get down on my knees and beg you?" Jade turned around and looked at Marcus with her arms crossed against her chest and a single eyebrow raised.

"If you want." She waved a hand dismissively and Marcus growled lowly. He knew he had been an ass when he saw Noah helping Jade and saw them laughing together. He knew he shouldn't be jealous, but he was, so when he walked into the room and saw them laughing he felt his blood boil and he may or may not have said some asshole things he wasn't going to repeat.

"I've said sorry to Noah. I know I am an ass most of the time, but I'm trying Jade, please forgive me. I know I shouldn't be jealous and that's something I got to work on, I'm sorry." He looked at Jade who still didn't look impressed and looked to Sophia for a little bit of help.

"Marcus, how about you finish off putting the kitchen stuff away and Jade and I can work on the bedroom." Marcus walked over and grabbed the box Jade was working on while she ignored him and rolled into her bedroom where Noah had just finished putting her bed back together.

"Bed all done. Any other heavy lifting that needs doing?" He asked, and Jade shook her head not in the mood to talk to anyone at the moment. "I can go start putting some of the boxes in the lounge room away." He left the room leaving Jade and Sophia.

"You okay Jade?" She asked after some time of working in silence and Jade just shrugged her shoulder.

"He makes me so mad." She grunted as she aggressively put her clothes away. "He is such an ass and makes me so, ugh." She threw some more clothes away and Sophia just watched.
