HENDRIX'S POV:
I held Daisy's hand as we walked over to Trixie's front door. I felt a gun in my jacket pocket and goosebumps started to rise on my arms.
"Trixie!"
Daisy's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see Trixie in the doorway. Daisy ran over to her and hugged her knees, stopping her from being able to move. I watched Trixie reach down and ruffle her brown curls up as Daisy smiled up at her.
"Hey baby" she said to me, letting Daisy go upstairs. I smiled at her, wrapping my arms around her waist. I buried my head in her neck as she ran her fingers through my hair.
"You're gonna be fine, Hendrix" she whispered, gently kissing the top of my head.
"I love you" I pulled away, taking her hand in mine. I took a few shaky breaths in an attempt to calm down.
"I love you more" she said, slowly letting go of my hand. I blew her a kiss before walking back to my car. I felt my hands shaking slightly as I started my car, taking a few deep breaths to steady myself before I started driving.
I wasn't even scared about the mission, or meeting Carlos. I was scared over what he'd do if he knew I was seeing Trixie. I knew what he was capable of when he saw something he didn't like and for all I knew, Trixie's whole life could be in danger.
OLIVIA'S POV:
I held Grayson's hand as we walked onto Ocean Beach. It was a particular favourite of mine so I had to bring Grayson here as soon as we got into Jersey.
"Here good?" he asked. I nodded, holding the other side of the towel as we placed it on the warm sand. I took a seat on it and Grayson smirked at me, taking a seat next to me.
I opened my mouth to question him but he already reached forward, pulling my shirt over my head and revealing my bikini.
"I could've done that" I said, fighting a smile as I wriggled out of my shorts. He pulled his shirt off, knowing I was staring at his abs whilst he smiled to himself.
"Enjoying the view?" he asked, standing up and looking towards the sea. He held his hand out at me, helping me up as I ran my hands through my hair, putting it into a messy bun.
"Shut up" I scoffed, looking behind me to see a bar "I'm gonna get us some drinks". He nodded and ran towards the sea, not giving me a second glance.
I laughed at him and picked up my phone, walking towards the bar. I joined the back of the queue, looking up at the menu for pina coladas. I sent Trixie a message that I'd be home by the evening.
"Oh yeah? Really?"
I heard a girl laughing behind me and ignored her but she only became louder, drawing attention from everyone.
I turned around to see her on his lap, her arms around his neck. One hand running through his straight brown hair, that used to be my fucking hand. I looked at him, he wasn't staring at her, he was looking right at me, a smirk on his lips as she traced his jawline. I snapped my head back around, feeling my heart beat out of my chest a little.
"I'll just see you tonight, baby"
I heard footsteps and swallowed, my throat unseemingly dry. My eyes wanted to turn around but I stayed in my position, facing the menu. His hand rested on my lower waist, I felt his mouth nearing my ear, his breathing tickling the top of it.
"Thought I'd see you here" he whispered. I bit my bottom lip, my knees going weak at the mere sound of his voice.
"What's tonight?"
"Nothing, just wanted to lead her on" he replied. I could sense his smirk. I pressed my lips together, playing it cool as he moved his body closer to mine, increasing the sexual tension between us both.
"Is that why you called her baby?" I asked, feeling a tinge of jealousy go off inside of me. He laughed softly, that laugh, it was home.
"She might be baby but you're wifey"
I pulled away from him, the butterflies swarming my entire body. I felt people staring at us but that had never bothered him in the slightest. He reached out, grabbing my wrist and pulling me back towards him.
"Let go, Mattia"
"Make me, Liv" he said, his arm snaking around my waist and pressing my back into his chest as we stood in the queue. I couldn't stop myself from smirking but still hated him.
But the way he was acting? It was like we were 18 all over again.
