I flopped onto my back staring at the celling. I tucked my hair behind my ear and sighed I felt almost disorientated I looked to my right and saw my iphone it flashed again I looked at the screen and saw messages from my sister and brother and even my parents
Nick: "hey jen what going on?, apparently someone went up to the penthouse"
Bradely: "jen are you okay and safe?"
Mommy: "jenna why are you not picking up the phone"
I flopped back as I went through 35 missed calls from everyone. I ran a hand through my hair and that's when the event of last night came flying back to me Braxton had come to the penthouse drunk and practically said what he feels and looked stupid doing it. Man, I kind of felt bad now for leaving him out there after all the things he said to me. I crawled out of bed and made my way to the door and unlocked and opened it and looked down to sleeping Braxton his back was against the wall and slouched over I smiled at how cute he looked when he slept he looked peaceful and siren. I kneeled down and took the bottle of alcohol away from him and rose. I sighed as I looked down at him I walked to the kitchen and emptied what was left of the content in the bottle and leaned on the counter and looked around at least he didn't trash the place to make his presents noticed. I tossed the bottle in the refusal bin so my brothers wouldn't find it; I had to get Braxton up and out of here before my brothers got home and things gets out of hand. I walked back to the passage and stop by Braxton and sat down, I grabbed hold of him and brought his head to my lap he laid down and got comfortable I smiled and played with his hair I rubbed his back.
"Brax... Come on wake up" I whispered
He moaned I'm pretty sure that's from the hangover he might have. He turned on his back and looked up at me, I carried on brushing his hair out his face and looked down at him. Braxton grab hold of my hand to stop me from what I was doing
"Jenna I really am sorry, I meant every word I said to you last night" he said blinking the sleep away
I placed my hand on his chest, I looked at his chest his been working out I rubbed hes chest and said
"I know" I said sighing
I leaned against the wall and he rose from my lap and sat up he propped himself against the wall and placed his hand in mine I looked at him
"If you have the slightest bite of remorse after me making a fool out of myself"
I giggled, man when was the last time I laughed?
"would you please give me an hour of your time to show you how sorry I am, and if you still don't feel satisfied after I promise I will leave you alone and never enter your life again" He continued
I sighed I loved Braxton, he is half the man I expected him to be he came to his senses and asked for forgiveness and made a fool of himself while doing, but never the less he did it because his fallen in love with me too. I had always been taken a leap of faith with Braxton why couldn't I do it one more time for him to prove to me how much he want me back. I sighed and nodded my head
"okay... yeah let's do it" I said feeling a smile come on
Braxton gently bumped me and smiled I giggled and watched Braxton get up he held out his hands I reached up for his hands and he helped me up. He held me close I looked up into Braxton's eyes and blushed
"Braxton?" I said caged by his arms, sparks ran through my body as he held me
"yeaaa"
"Are we going" I asked blushing
"Oh yeah yeah" he said realizing he was staring at me
He let go of me. I smiled and walked back into my room
"I'll be out in a sec" I let him know
I looked back at Braxton who was standing at the door of my room. He was looking down at his phone now
"Yeah nay take your time" he said putting the phone to his ear and making his way over to the couch by my window
walking into my closet i picked out a white long sleeve Adidas shirt with blue sweats and white converse
***over heard conversation***
Braxton: "yes Mr B, thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me, the boys are at the house and in position, I'll bring Jenna over to my house and the job can be done there, okay babye now"
***end of conversation***
My hand flew to my mouth I held back my scream what did he mean, who are the boys?, what job can be done with me?, WHOS Mr b?. I heard footsteps come into my room I ran back into the closet
"JENNA ARE YOU ALMOST READY WE NEED TO GET GOING SWEETCHEEKS" Braxton yelled from the door of my closet
sweetcheeks my ass, what the hell was he going to do with me, I grabbed my jacket lemme play it cool and pretend I don't know anything I breathed out and started walking out my closet
"yeah just about lemme just grab my phone and we can get on our way"
I pulled off my best smile and yanked my phone off the charger and made my way over to Braxton he put his hand on the small of my back and guided me out. As we waited for the elevator Braxton was texting away on his phone he stood by the elevator button to make sure I wouldn't see what he was doing.
"who you texting?"
I knew this would throw him off because he is never on his phone when I was around he locked his phone
"aah you know my mom.. shes always worring when I don't make it home"
he flashed the dark screen at me before stuffing his iphone 7 in his pocket. Man he is good at hiding things, this only made me madder and I wanted to confront him but what if it back fired on me with no help. I smiled and remembered the jacket I was holding to give to Braxton he had left hes red Pablo jacket when he came over the last time for breakfast
"oh yeah I thought I might give you this, it looks cold outside"
he smiled and he reached out for his jacket when the doors to the elevtor opened and he looked at me and gestured to go in first. Walked into the elevator and leaned against the far side of the elevator and Braxton stepped in and stood on the opposite side of me. He reached for ll4. We stood I silence
"What you thinking about?" he said breaking the silence
I looked up and didn't even realise I was bitten my nails
"uhm I'm not thinking about much actually"
The elevator door opened and I sighed as our small conversation came to an end. He walked out first and held open the door for me we walked out to the lobby there were a few students standing in the hall way. It was a Saturday so I didn't expect much I made my way to the front door and a firm grip had taken me back I looked down at the hand gripping my arm and looked up at
"What are you doing?" I asked smiling up at him
"Let go this way, I have to pick up my car anyway" he said smiling down at me and loosened his grip
He turned his back to me and dragged me towards the flight of emergence stairs I frowned and snatched back my arm
"Where are we going?" I said more worried than I wanted to
He opened the door and looked to his left and right to see if the coast was clear. I frowned and looked around too there was no one in the hall way. He took hold of my wrist and wanted to lead me to the stair well I held back and I won't lie I was scared. His look on me went soft
"Jen trust me you are safe with me"
I gulped and nodded slowly and let him direct me into the stair well. We walked down the stairs to the bottom and I looked around it was dark it looked like the basement of the building. I looked back and didn't see Braxton I felt a sudden panic rush through me, I breathed in and looked for him frantically then the lights switched on and a buff guy was standing before me I backed up and bumped into something hard I stepped forward and looked back to see Braxton I let out a slight scream. God Jenna get it together! I breathed in heavily and Braxton laughed
"Jen seriously relax, this is my brother Derick he will be riding with us and my other brother Colin and my sister Tiana will be meeting us on the road"
I took the opportunity to look around we were in an underground parking garage filled with cars that looked almost brand new I frowned this area was marked as the besement in the blue prints, I turned and looked at Braxton who was stuffing things into a black duffle bag
"What is this place?" I asked looking back at him
He looked up at me then to our surrounding
"Our private own parking lot, we don't drive your average cars that can be left outside so our father pulled a few strings"
I folded my arms and nodded and carried on looking around if there space was bigger than ours I was going to complain to our uncle the next time I see him. Braxton walked up behind me and placed a hand on the small of my back
"You ready" he asked
"Yeah" I said as I felt a chill go down my spine
He tossed the bag at his brother who smirked at me. I didn't like that look it looked very devilish.
"Don't worry jen you in very safe hands" his brother said
"So this is the girl that is going to get herself along with us killed"
Braxton growled. Blinking frantically at Braxton he just growled at his sister like a damn dog
"That's enough Aaliaah!" Braxton's voice boomed through the garage
I jumped at the firmness of his voice. Aaliaah rolled her eyes and made her way to the car that was parked in the middle of the room. It was a Mercedes G-class it was a gleaming white with tinted windows a very beautiful car
Braxton walked past me and made his way over to the car he opened the back seat door on the right and looked at me. I smiled and made my way to the car and held onto the door and got inside. Braxton slammed the door closed and ran round to the other side and got in next to me and closed his door. Derick got into the passenger's seat and closed the door. He looked at Aaliaah
"ayt babe lets go"
she smiled at him and she rev ved the engine and she sped off out of the garage. Braxton held onto my hand this made me relaxed that feeling of being safe when he was around was still present I breathed in and moved to the middle seat and leaned my head on Braxton's shoulder, whatever was going to happen to me at his house, I was okay I was calm and ready for whatever came at me.Headlights flashed four times behind us I looked back and saw a navy blue cadillac
"shouldn't we let them past"
Braxton wrapped his arm around me unfazed by what just happened
"no its just my brother and sister letting us know its them" he said planting a kiss on my hand
I held back my tears we were getting close I could hear Mrs Boltens thoughts. I breathed in a tried to relax. We pulled off into a dirt road. I have never been to Braxtons house and I hardly knew his brothers and sisters like he knew mine that's one thing that upset me he knew so much about me but I hardly knew anything about him and how he became to be. Aaliaah took a hard right that made us drift and she sped up and
"yaaa wooah" Derick yelled at the top of hes lungs
this made me smile I looked at Braxton and jerked as we went over another hump and landed. He smiled and kissed my check
"I love you" he whispered
I smiled and enjoyed his presents when
"ayy okay okay you two" his brother yelled
I looked up and giggled and Aaliaah took another hard turn and she came to a stop she turned in her seat
"okay you can get out now"
"Don't need to tell me twice"
I smiled and got out. I looked up at Braxton's house it was more a less the size as mine maybe bigger
I stood in front of the house admiring its beauty I looked at Braxton
"Your house is beautiful" I said
"It better be my mom designed it herself, well she designed it for us as her kids" he said looking at the house and smiled
"Let's go this way" he guided me away from the front door
I smiled and nodded he lead me around the house to a small black gate he pushed it open and let me go first. I walked into the garden and was amazed his mother was truly talented if she did all this we walked through the mini maze to the centre to find a bench I looked around, why did he bring me here what was going on. I looked up at Braxton he looked nervous and scared I held his hand
"Brax what's going on making me a bite scared"
"No no sweet cheeks don't" he said passing back and fourth
He stopped grabbed hold of me and made me sit. I held onto his hands on my shoulders
"Okay?" I said nervously
"You can come out now guys".
Now this made me scared who is guys what's going on?. I looked around and saw his brother and sisters emerge from behind the bushes as well as his parents... My parents emerged from behind the bushes with my brothers and sister on either side of them. Tears pooled in my eyes, I looked from the Bolten to my family then my eyes searched for Braxton, he was on one knee right before me. I gasped; a single tear fell for my eye. I covered my mouth
"Jenna ever since I met you, I've wanted to make you mine. Jenna you make me feel whole again. I stumble upon you and said to myself, 'oh there you are I've been looking for you my entire life'. I never thought making someone such as you happy could bring me such joy. My parents, brothers and sisters can tell you I've had my share of romance and love, but never quite like yours. I have never wanted something as bad as I have wanted you. as everybody knows I recently messed up... big time with you, usually when this kind of thing happens I say oh well and move on with life... but this time round I couldn't quite do that, knowing what I did to you nawed at me every day, not seeing your smile, hearing your voice, and not seeing you cringe that nose of yours after I've made you laugh made me go crazy and that when I realised I had fallen for you. Jenna Olivia Brandson i stand... well I kneel before you, your parents, my parents and each other's siblings and say from this day fourth I promis.." he trailed off reaching into his pocket and takes out a velvet box and opens and holds onto my hand
"with this promise ring, I promise to uphold the values of being your boyfriend, I will love, protect and nurture you... I can't promise a perfect relationship but ill try if you just stay. Will you do be the greatest oh honour in being my girlfriend"
My free hand went flying to my mouth I tried to hold back my tears but couldn't I nodded and he extended my hand so he could slip on the ring. I opened my arms and he hugged me, he picked me up and spun me around I giggled as he set me down on my feet, he cupped my check and pecked my lips lightly before the boys came running and took him away. I smiled as clary and the girls came skipping to me
"omg lemme see" they all yelled
