"Her heart and mind made peace in his arms."
-Atticus
.........................................................
We all look at each other as the guys alarmingly rush to the living room. We follow out of curiosity.
Jayden quickly walks out, to see where the noise came from and my heart beats as I hope it's an animal. Jordan follows rather quickly, Hunter looks through the other windows, Xavier grabs his phone.
Alice decides to record for some reason, Lizzy whisper-yells at Jayden and Jordan for walking out.
I rush to the door, peeking out as Jayden and Jordan investigate.
"Who the fuck is there!?" Jordan yells.
"It sounded like a person banging on the window, but how the fuck did they run away so damn quickly?" Xavier says, walking out.
Jayden starts walking away, looking behind the trees and around. I run over to him, "Jayden please come inside, this is so creepy. Whoever it is probably ran away." I grab his arm.
All of a sudden we hear shuffling behind some bushes, Jayden grabs my waist protectively pulling me closer to his warm body.
Jordan and Xavier rush over, "go inside, Angel." Jayden whispers, gesturing to the door.
"Uhm no." I clutch onto his arm.
Jordan walks over to the bushes ready to kill whoever it behind them, Xavier follows alarmed. "Amber seriously, please go in." Jayden requests.
We hear someone in the further trees, Lizzy runs outside to Xavier who proceeds to yell at whoever is out there.
Jayden's grip on my waist tightens.
"Wrong house, buddy!" Xavier yells, as Lizzy slaps his arm.
"Multiple people?" Jayden asks, Jordan.
"I don't know. They're fuckin' dead as soon as I..." Jordan says, looking around.
"Guys let's go back in. Please." Lizzy pleads.
"I agree. This isn't normal." I add.
"How about you two join Hunter and Alice inside? While we figure out who's here?" Xavier suggests.
"Jayden inside right now, please. I'm scared." I say softly.
He nods, agreeing. Lizzy manages to convince the other 2 guys to come in.
Jayden calls people to search the entire forest and bodyguard the house that night. After dinner I can barely sleep, Jayden's arm is wrapped around my waist as I look out the glass window.
Who was out there?
"Go to sleep, Angel." Jayden mumbles, kissing the back of my neck.
"I'm scared." I confess.
"I got you." He mumbles, pulling me towards his warm embrace.
I lay on his chest as he wraps his arms around me, and slowly the fear leaves my mind as I slowly start to fall asleep.
.................................................................................
"Jayden, it's..." I turn to look at the bedside clock before finishing my sentence. "5 in the morning. Where are you going?" I ask, sleepily.
"Gym. Wanna come?" He asks, moving the hair off my face.
"We're in Costa Rica." I remind him.
"Hmm really?" He asks sarcastically before placing a kiss on my forehead.
"Why would you want to... nevermind. Have fun. I'm gonna go back to sleep." I mumble, putting a pillow over my face.
"Come on. It'll be fun." He says, moving the pillow and kissing my neck.
"Nothing about the gym sounds fun." I answer.
"We can watch the sunrise and get breakfast." He offers.
I shake my head, no.
"We can get coffee." He adds.
"Ugh fine. Give me an hour." I say, getting up.
"An hour? For what?" He asks.
"To get ready." I say, in an obvious tone.
"30 minutes?" He suggests, instead.
I sigh, walking into the bathroom.
An hour later, I've changed into a sports bra and matching leggings, brushed my teeth and done my skincare, and tied my hair into 2 Dutch braids.
"So where exactly is this mystery gym you're so looking forward to?" I ask, as he opens the car door for me.
"Not that far away, baby." He says, getting in the driver's seat.
"Ok." I smile as he starts driving.
The sun is barely starting to rise, and the only thing keeping me going is the thought of coffee.
Jayden drives to what looks like a gym.
"Hmm by gym did you mean a boxing gym?" I ask, confused.
"Mhm." He nods, holding my hand as we walk in.
"Jayden I'm gonna kill you," I say.
He smiles, as we walk in.
"Hey Jayden. Are you trying to tell me something here. Taking me to the gym? How rude." I say, grabbing my phone.
"What? No. Jesus Amber." He says, shocked.
I give him a look.
"Oooh there's a normal gym over there. Yay." I say walking away from the boxing gym.
The mirrors here are perfect for Instagram pictures.
A couple insta pics later, I decide to actually do my workout. I grab a weight and do my squat routine, as I turn up the music in my AirPods a guy walks in.
I get uncomfortable so I decide to go check on Jayden in the boxing gym.
To my surprise, he's training. With a really pretty girl.
I walk closer, she puts her hands on his abs. None of them see me, but Jayden immediately pushes her hands off and tells her to F off.
I clear my throat, Jayden turns around and so does the girl.
She's a pretty blonde girl, her hair is up in a ponytail, she's wearing matching baby pink spandex and top.
"Amber." Jayden says, walking over.
"That is my name." I say, dryly.
"Jealous?" He smirks, grabbing my waist.
"No." I smile, pushing his hand away. "In fact I had a great workout with this one guy in there. He was spotting me with squats." I lie.
His jaw clenches as he looks at me in disbelief.
"Why was he spotting you?" He asks, clearly pissed.
"Uhm because my boyfriend was out here with this girl." I shrug, innocently.
"She's a trainer. I didn't pick her. I don't have a say in who my manager picks for that. I have a fight tonight." He explains.
"Oh." I say, softly.
"You really let some guy..." he starts.
"Yeah. He asked. He was hot. I was like, sure. He complimented my leggings. His hands on my waist, real close. We did squats together." I lie, feeling petty as I try to make him jealous.
I don't recognize myself.
Before I can tell him I'm lying, he angrily walks away. To the gym room I was just in.
Oh no.
I can't keep up, and before I know it that poor guy is getting shoved by a really angry Jayden.
"What the fuck, man!?" The guy yells.
Jayden punches him. Hard.
"Jayden. I was kidding. Holy crap. Oh my god." I say, panicking.
"You were what?" Jayden asks, annoyed.
"Oh my God. Are you okay?" I ask the guy.
"Not after fucking hulk just punched the shit out of me. I think my nose is broken." He says, as blood drips down his nose.
Jayden walks out.
"Jayden. I'm sorry." I go after him.
"Get rid of that guy in there." Jayden says, to some random worker.
"Wait. What did you mean by get rid?" I ask, grabbing his arm.
"I'm not gonna kill him, Amber." Jayden says, rolling his eyes.
"Your hand. Jayden I'm sorry. I didn't think you were gonna go.." I look at his bruised hand.
"What did you think I was gonna do to the guy who I just heard my girlfriend call hot and basically cheat on me with?" He asks.
I bite my lip, nervously.
"Did you think I was gonna have a drink with him? Invite him to go fishing? Shake his hand?" He asks, his tone filled with sarcasm.
"I love you." I say, wrapping my arms around his neck and hugging him.
He softens up and wraps an arm around my waist. "And I love you."
Just then a voice interrupts us, "Hi. I'm Isabella. You must be the girlfriend." The same blonde girl speaks up.
"Amber." I say, still leaning into Jayden.
"We should really get back." She says, putting a hand on Jayden's bicep.
I want to punch her in the face.
Jayden pushes her hand away. "We're done. My manager said at least half an hour with you. The half an hour is over. Get out."
She scoffs, walking away.
"Your hand. Is there a first aid kit here?" I ask.
"Probably." Jayden shrugs.
I look around and end up finding one on top of the shelf. I grab it and sit down, "give me your hand," I say opening the kit.
He puts his hand in my lap and I start dressing it.
"Who told you to punch him that hard? You're lucky this isn't broken."
"It's fine, Angel."
"You better cancel that fight." I say, wrapping a bandage around his hand.
"No," he chuckles.
"Jayden. This is gonna hurt." I remind him.
"I've had worse. Really. I'm fine, baby." He says, casually.
"Another pretty girl coming to help examine your abs?" I say, sarcastically.
"She wasn't even pretty," he says.
"Oh shut up. She was literally perfect." I say, rolling my eyes.
"You're the only perfect pretty girl I see, and she's got nothing on you." he says.
"But you look incredibly hot when you're jealous, Angel." He chuckles.
"I wasn't jealous." I lie.
"And I didn't punch that guy." He mocks.
"You're such a jerk face. I bet I can take you in a fight." I say, truthfully.
"Oh yeah?" He says, amused.
"Yeah. Especially with that hand." I smile.
"Care to prove it?" He asks, getting up.
"Of course, I think your fighting skills? Very overrated. You can't be that hard to take down." I say, getting up.
"Someone's confident," he smiles.
"Very," I smile.
"Let's see what you've got," he says.
I take off the shirt I had on as I confidently get ready.
"That's not fair." He states.
"What's not fair?" I ask.
"The shirt. Put it back on. Don't try to distract me." He says, offended.
"Awe suck it up." I smile, pulling my sports bra down purposely.
His eyes trail down my chest.
Who said I can't use his weakness against him?
I back up as he reaches for me. I swat his arm away as he reaches for me for the second time, this time moving in to try and trip him.
It doesn't work, Jayden dodges it. He grabs my thigh, pulling my leg forward gently causing me to trip. But I take him along, causing us both to fall down on the mat.
He relaxes putting an arm underneath me, but I retract and get on top of him shifting my hips.
"Awe, would you look at that? Need better trainers? You're a bit rusty." I smirk.
"Yeah?" He breaths out, gripping my waist and flipping me on the mat softly, making sure not to hurt me.
He shifts his body weight so he's not fully on top of me, and lightly kisses the sweet spot on my neck, I close my eyes as he sucks on that spot.
I take that chance to push his shoulder off, and lock his legs with mine and get on top of him.
"Holy. How the hell did you do that?" He asks, out of breath.
I smile, moving my hips against his. I trail kisses against his jawline as I feel something harden between us. I move against him, kissing him.
Pulling away, I quickly get up. "That was like 15 seconds. That means I win, right?"
I smile as he rolls his eyes.
"You cheated." He says, out of breath.
"How so? You were down for like 20 seconds." I smile, putting my hand out for him to grab.
He grabs my hand, pulling me down on him. I gasp, falling on top of him. Both his hands go around my waist as he kisses me.
"This doesn't count." I pull away.
"You won, Angel. Get over it," he says, kissing me.
I kiss him back as his hand trails down my waist to my butt.
"Okay someone's gonna walk in." I pull away.
"You want that?" He smirks.
"Oh my god, Jayden, go take a shower or something. I'm hungry." I say, trying to get up.
"Me too." He says, kissing down my chest.
I laugh, pushing him off and grabbing my shirt.
"Is there a shower here?" I ask.
"Yeah. Let's go." He says, getting up.
"Get me something to wear from the car, I have a pile of clothes in your trunk for these situations." I say, putting the shirt on.
"What situations?" He asks.
"Shut up." I joke, handing him the keys from the floor.
"What do you want?" He asks, referring to the clothes.
"Anything, hurry, I want coffee after this," I say.
"So you've said... like a hundred times." He says.
He walks out, and I look for signs for where the showers are. After finally figuring it out I walk in the empty shower room.
Jayden finally walks in with a short purple summer dress he so kindly places on the table.
Of course he would pick that. Not that I'm complaining.. because it's adorable.
"Thank you," I smile, undoing my braids.
My hair falls into loose braids as I turn around to see the clear glass shower steamy from the hot water Jayden turned on.
I look over to see Jayden taking his shirt off. His abs do look really good today.
I see what Isabella was thinking.
**mature scene ahead** written by Angxl11_
"Your turn baby." Jayden says smirking as he places his shirt on a nearby bench.
"Excuse me? See I was thinking I would shower while you face the wall and then when I was done then you could go-" I start sarcastically before he crosses the room and wraps his arms around my waist.
"You're so funny." he sarcastically as he brings his mouth down on mine.
I feel his hands under my thighs as he pulls me up wrapping my legs around his waist. I bring my arms around his neck as he begins to kiss me moving his tongue skillfully against mine.
"Jayden" I moan softly as his kisses move to my neck and the top of my breasts.
He holds me up with one hand while his other goes under my sports bra.
"This." He says fisting the material "off."
"Someone's gonna walk in." I state, pulling away.
"No one's here. I locked the door. I want you so fucking badly." He says, trailing kisses on my neck.
I move my hands off his neck and remove it quickly.
"Such a good girl huh?" he smirks.
Lifting me higher his mouth comes down on one breast as he sucks it into his mouth. I throw my head back moaning as I put my hands into his hair.
I tighten my legs around him.
As if reading my mind he puts me down and starts taking my leggings off. He finally does and I raise myself on my toes to kiss him again.
"You're so pretty, Angel." He says, pulling me closer.
His mouth crashes down on mine as he takes his shorts off. He picks me up again as I feel his hard cock underneath me.
He moves inside the shower as I open my eyes to look into his blue ones. He moves me higher to position himself in front of my opening.
The warm water falls over us intensely.
I feel my back line up against the wall as Jayden holds me there. He holds me up with his hands on my butt as he sinks inside of me. His grip tightens on me as he thrusts inside me and out.
I throw my head back moaning loudly, feeling myself rile up. If he wasn't holding me as tightly as he was right now I'm positive I would have fallen on the floor.
"JAYDEN" I moan loudly.
"Fuck angel" He thrust inside faster filling me completely "Goddamn you feel so good."
"Jayden- oh god" I moan as he goes faster and harder at the same time bringing his mouth down on my chest.
He sucks all over my neck leaving hickeys everywhere for sure. The pressure fills me and biomes too much as my legs shake vigorously and I feel myself get closer and closer to my high.
He pushes me up with his hand under my thigh causing him to move deeper inside of me. I gasp, as his sucks a spot on my neck.
The erotic feeling continues as he moves in and out of me, hitting all the right spots. His fingers find my clit as he roughly plays with it, I immediately fall apart coming undone.
His thrusts don't stop. "You feel way too good." He says, out of breath. My barely finished orgasm exploded again as he throbbed inside of me. His grip on my waist tightened as he came.
He kisses me under the water.
Intensely. Gently.
Two words to describe him perfectly right now.
He pulls his face mere inches away.
"I love you so fucking much" he whispers so close to me.
I gently cup his face and kiss his cheek.
"I love you too" I whisper closely.
"Are you gonna put me down now?" I say sarcastically, raising my eyebrows.
"Funny I was under the impression you liked being up here" he says rolling his eyes as he lets go of my waist.
My legs feel like jello as my knees almost give out.
His warm strong arms wrap around my waist as he kisses my cheek.
I finally get the whole walking thing down as we move closer to the shower.
I rest my back against his front as the water hits his back and hits me a little.
I turn around and kiss him as the water hits us both.
"It's not fair. I have so many hickeys to deal with, and what do you have? Your perfect little self doesn't have to hide hickeys." I rant.
"First of all, I'm not little. Secondly, give me a hickey. I don't mind at all. In fact I'd love it." He says, kissing my temple.
I smirk, standing of my tippy toes and kissing his neck. I find a perfect spot and suck it trying to make it as dark as possible. His hands go down to my butt, pulling me impossibly closer as I give him a hickey.
"Wow." I say looking at my creation.
"That's it?" He smirks.
"You should go actually shower now." I smile.
"I'd rather be here with you." He pulls me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I need to shower. And I can't do that when you're all..." I laugh pointing to his arms around me.
"Fine," he says, kissing me.
After taking an actual shower, I change into the cute little summer dress and brush my wet hair.
I grab my stuff and walk out of the shower room, looking for Jayden.
I find him by the door, so I follow along. "Ready to go?" He asks, interlocking my hand with his.
I nod as we walk to the car.
By now it's like 9 in the morning, I'm sure no one except for maybe Hunter is awake back home.
"Ok I really need to cover that hickey on your neck up, it's too dark." I say, examining his neck as he drives.
"No, I like it." He says, putting a hand on my thigh.
I roll my eyes playfully as I find directions to a café nearby.
"So since when did you have a fight tonight?" I ask him, as I connect my phone to the car.
"Since like forever." He shrugs.
"Who knows about it?" I ask, curiously.
"Just Jordan," he answers, as he continues driving.
"Hmm." I nod.
"What do you wanna eat?" He asks,
"Um... I don't know." I say, truthfully.
After a short drive we arrive at a cute looking restaurant, as we walk in a waitress escorts us to a table for 2. She hands us menus and leaves shortly.
"You know what you want?" Jayden asks.
"There's too many options." I say, scanning the menu.
"You order for me, Surprise me." I smile, closing the menu.
When the waitress arrives, Jayden ends up ordering 2 Gallo pintos and 2 Costa Rican Batidos as the drinks.
"So where's the fight tonight?" I ask, as the waitress leaves with our order.
"Amb, don't worry about it." He smiles, putting his hand on top of mine.
"Why?" I ask, suspiciously.
"Cause' you're not going." He explains.
"Excuse me? I love you but you do not decide where I go and where I don't go." I slightly laugh.
"You know that's not what I meant." He clears. "It's just not a very safe place, baby." He adds.
"I'm sure Jordan, Xavier, and Hunter can take whatever or whoever you're afraid of." I say, sighing.
"So how's your sister?" Jayden asks, casually changing the subject.
"Fine. In Hawaii with Zion and his family." I answer.
"That's fun, so is she dating Zion?" He asks, as the waitress brings us our batidos.
I whisper a quiet thank you to the waitress before answering Jayden, "Uhm no.. They're strictly best friends. They should date, though. He's way better than Tristan." I answer.
"He doesn't seem bad." He adds.
"Who? Tristan?" I ask, chuckling.
"No. Zion. He seemed cool." He says.
"When did you meet Zion?" I ask, confused.
"He was there when you were in the hospital, remember?"
"Ohhh right. Yeah. Zion's the best. I remember when I broke up with Colton a long time ago, he brought me a box of chocolates. And stopped the rumors." I smile.
"What rumors?" He asks, before sipping his drink.
"Uhm a bunch of stupid ones." I shrug.
"Like?" He asks.
"One was that I was gay and that's why I didn't sleep with Colton.. or anyone else for that account." I say.
"Who spread that rumor?" He asks, in a serious tone.
"Probably Colton. I mean who else would know that me and him hadn't... yeah well anyways that was forever ago. I'm over it." I smile.
"Say the word and I swear he'll be removed from the face of the earth, Amber." Jayden says.
"No... you're gonna do no such thing." I say, shaking my head.
"I can make it look like an accident... or better I can make him disappear." He says, completely serious.
"If I didn't love you so much, I would be a bit alarmed." I say, leaning over and kissing him.
Just then, the waitress brings the food. The Gallo pinto looks delicious. I thank her as she leaves.
I take a bite and it's seriously the best thing I have ever tried. "This, is so so so good." I say, honestly.
"I knew you'd like it."
I'm concerned at how well this man knows me.
After paying for breakfast Jayden drives to a café for the coffee he promised. I feel like myself again as soon as the iced coffee enters my system, "this is so good," I smile.
"I love your smile, so much." Jayden says, as we drive back home.
"You're so sweet." I blush.
By the time we got back home everyone was awake. As soon as we walked in, Alice runs over pissed.
"You didn't fucking tell me you were fighting the reaper tonight!?!? Jayden what the actual fuck." Alice yells.
Jayden rolls his eyes glaring at Jordan.
Who's the reaper?
"I didn't say shit. I slightly mentioned it to Hunter assuming he already knew. But I forgot he's Alice's little bitch." Jordan shrugs.
"Alice. Relax." Jayden says, Closing the door.
"Wait who's the reaper?" I ask, worried.
"This guy who's never lost a fight." Xavier explains.
"That's because he plays dirty. He's known to hurt his opponents. He's even killed some." Alice says, glaring at Jayden.
My heart sinks.
"Jayden." I whisper.
"Shut up." He tells Alice before turning to me. "Relax. It's really not a big deal.." he says, grabbing my hand.
I pull my hand away.
"I'm scared for you, Jay." Lizzy says, drinking her smoothie.
"You guys are all so fucking dramatic. Yeah the kid's never lost a fight. Neither has Jayden." Jordan says, rolling his eyes.
"Thank you." Jayden says, sarcastically.
"Jayden your hand." I say, softly.
"What happened to your hand?" Hunter asks.
"Literally nothing. It barely hurts. I'm fine. Would you guys have some faith in me please?" Jayden says, walking upstairs.
"What happened to his hand?" Xavier asks. "Shit. Lemme guess." He clears his throat. "Guy breathed near you, Jayden got territorial and decided to punch the kid?" He asks.
"Worse. The guy didn't do anything. I was... never mind that's not important. I can't believe he didn't tell me." I mumble.
"I'm not going to that fight for sure. It's gonna get bloody." Lizzy says. "Shit. Babe I'm sorry, I'm sure he'll be fine." Lizzy says, sincerely after realizing the horrified look on my face.
I go to the kitchen to get some water. "You okay?" Hunter asks, walking in.
"No." I state.
"Amb. I've known him for a while. He's gonna be fine. Okay? He's really good at what he does." Hunter says.
"I know but..." my voice cracks.
"Hey." He pulls me closer as I hug him. "He's gonna be alright."
"You don't know that." I state against his chest.
"You're right. But I know for a fact he's gonna win. I've seen that guy. Yes he's good. But Jayden's better." He explains.
I just hope he's right.
