A Dozen Roses(A Skylox Fanfic)

Chapter 18 Keep our secret

Chapter 18

Sky POV
I sighed loudly at Jerome. The burly man just crossed his arms and gave me a dirty look.

"Tell me Sky. Where did you get that hickey? Did Deadlox give it to you?" I gulped at his question and he took that as a yes.

You can't lie to Jerome. He'll read you like an open book.

"No." I answered sharply. He stared me down with those cold brown eyes "okay yes! He did! Stop giving me those creepy animal eyes."

"Damn it Sky. Your getting too close to him! Do you want Ian to take you off the case? You know he will. Dating is strictly prohibited in the team and especially with your mortal enemy." He turned away and headed for the door angry.

"Wait!" He turned, "If you tell Ian or anyone about this. I'll tell him about you and Mitchell." Jerome's eyes grew wide and his arms fell to his side.

"There's nothing going on between Mitch and I." I leaned further into the pillows.

"That's not what I saw this morning. I believe it was 5:15 when we were all getting ready and you and Mitchell were snogging in the kitchen when you didn't think I was dressed yet." His eyes grew wide.

"I-uh.." I smirked watching his face turn a bright shade of red. "Shit fine. You keep your mouth shut and I'll keep mine."

"Deal Fluffy. But could you run to the house and get me some new clothes and my personal laptop? I'm going right back to work once I'm free of here." He rolled his eyes but nodded.

"Yeah I guess. I'll be back soon. Get some rest or something." He turned and walked out the door. I sighed and closed my eyes. Maybe I could use another few hours of shut eye.

Jerome POV

I drove back to mine and Sky's house with Mitch. He was singing along to the radio and dancing in his seat while I drove. Mitch didn't have his license but I didn't mind driving.

The house was dark and I had forgotten to leave the porch light on for the third time these last two weeks. So I shined my phones flashlight on the door as I unlocked it.

"Ah home sweet home that isn't mine" Mitch exclaimed flopping down on the couch, his hair covering his face. I felt myself smile.

"Yeah. Well we won't be here for long." Besides where ever you are is my home. I thought and grinned stupidly at myself. "I'm gonna shower and get clothes for Sky" he nodded and I hurried down the hall.

Mitch and I had been together secretly for about six months now and it's the hardest secret I've ever had to keep. To not wrap my arms around the skinny guy and kiss him repeatedly around the team. Do you know how difficult it is to do that?

We had been best friends since he joined the team a year after me. From then on we became closer and closer. We liked all the same things. Same foods, same colors, same movies. All the little details.

I shook my head and sighed contently as I gathered a bag of clothes in Sky's room. I'd keep Mitch and I a secret as long as needed.

Beep beep beep

Huh? What's that. I turned my head towards Sky's personal laptop which was beeping irritably. I cautiously walked over and clicked the little box in the corner.

Suddenly Deadlox's face appeared on the screen. He seemed generally confused for a moment but smiled.

"Hello Jerome." I felt complied to sit down in the chair as I watched him. Was this how Sky knew so much about Deadlox?

"Hello Deadlox" I said back,"Or should I call you Tyler Ellis?" He laughed.

"I see where Adam gets his sass." He snickered, "where is he anyways?"

Why did he want to know? And why was he allowed to call Sky by his real name?

"In the hospital because of you." I hissed. He sighed contently.

"I know. I had to be stitched up myself. But then again Adam has always had a good right hook." He laughed to himself and spun around in his chair.

"I taught him how to fight."

"That's lovely Jerome and I'm sure you'd love to tell me more. But I have to get some sleep. Please tell Adam I've called and only Adam." He flicked the hair from his eyes and I leaned back in my chair. He continued.

"Or of course you can tell everyone this is how we communicate and I could let it slip that You and Mitchell are in love."

Fucking hell! Did Sky tell this guy everything?! I was so gonna have to pick a fight with Sky after this.

"I hate you. But fine." I leaned forward and closed the window making his face disappear. Then shut the computer and got up.

"Jerome?" Mitch stood leaning in the doorway. "I thought you were getting in the shower?" I set Sky's computer next to the bag I packed and slipped past Mitch walking towards my room.

"Yeah I just got distracted." I grabbed a towel off my hamper and threw it over my shoulder.

Mitch watched me with those caramel brown eyes and sandy brown hair. You could see something in his eyes. Desire? Lust? Love? All three?

"Would you like some company in that shower?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise but nodded.

"Yes I would."
