Working With The Rockstar - JH

Chapter 65

Liza pov

"Yes Finn. I promise I'll be okay here without you." I assured as they offered to stay back.

"I just want to make sure you aren't going to go off the rails while I'm gone. I can't call Jaden when I'm five thousand miles away." They teased, but with a hint of seriousness.

"I'll be fine. I promise." They gave me a look that told me they didn't believe me. "Come on Finn. Go and have fun, stop worrying about me." I laughed.

"Okay, okay. Bye Lizzie." They laughed back, picking up their bags and walking to the door with Vanessa.

"Have a good time in Scotland." I waved as they walked down the hall and shut it when they got into the elevator.

I decided that because Jaden was busy, Travis, Colson, Megan and Kourtney went to Marbella, Landon and Bama were at school and with Finn going to Scotland, I was going to go to the gym. It had been a few weeks since I last been and it was starting to show.

I had gotten changed into a pair of pale blue leggings and a matching sports bra. I grabbed my gym bags that had a change of clothes in it and a pair of boxing gloves and made my way down to my car.

I rolled my eyes when I got out of the car as I saw the familiar slime ball crawling the streets with his camera. I tried to scope out a way I could get to the gym without him harassing me, but he was blocking the entrance and the alley that leads to the side door. So either way I was fucked.

"Liza, how are you?" He asked.

"I've been good." I replied stiffly.

"Good. So the fans wanna know, what's going on with you and Jaden? After that video of you two you both kinda fell off. Is there a relationship happening?"

"Well, you see not a lot of influencers would want to throw themselves back into the online world so quickly after something so private was revealed." I dodged, thanking the lord I was nearly at the doors.

"You right. So uh, the fans wanna know, are you ever going to press charges against that guy that raped you? I mean you have his name and what he does, why won't you press charges on him?" Oh great.

"Thank you man. Have a nice day." I ignored, walking into the building.

I spent about three hours in gym. By the time I had finished it was around four o'clock and I had worked myself to exhaustion. Now all I wanted to do was go home and shower before ordering in food and binge watching Shameless. Luckily for me, I had gotten a friend to tip off the paparazzi guy saying that some A-list celebrities had started a fight on the other side of town.

The drive home took longer than expected due to the surge in traffic coming away from the airport. A new flight must have just landed. Once I had gotten a little bit away from the airport, the roads were less busy.

When I walked through the door, I dumped my bag on the floor and made my way to my room. Landon had taken Fro-yo to keep him company since Travis and Kourtney had taken their dogs away with them, leaving the apartment dead silent.

A silence which was soon disturbed by the sound of running water. I stripped the sweaty gym clothes off my body and threw them in the laundry basket. I looked at myself in the mirror as I waited for the water to cool down a little. I was mainly focusing on my hips and thighs where Jaden sized hand prints were starting to form in subtle purple. I flattened my hand out over the print and admired how much bigger his hand was compared to mine.

Never in a million years did I think I'd be happy to see a man bruise my body.

I got in the shower and scrubbed all the sweat off my body before running shampoo and conditioner through my hair. I shaved my legs and quickly ran a moisturiser up them before getting out. I dried off and placed a robe over me, tying it off and running a dry towel over my hair so it wasn't exceedingly wet.

"Hey baby, what's up." He groaned from the other side of the line.

"Uhm, am I interrupting something?" I half laughed as he continued to groan and grunt.

"What?"

"Why are you so out of breath?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm moving the boxes from the guest room to the garage and they're fucking heavy." He replied, laughing as well as the noises he was making sounded rather odd.

"Sounds like you're having so much fun." I teased, hearing him grumble under his breath.

"They're just boxes from my parents house it's a bunch of st-"

I didn't hear the rest of what he was saying. I was more occupied with trying to figure out who the fuck just opened my door.

"Hello?" I called out down the hall, trying to see if there was someone here.

"Shit." The didn't come from the phone.

I quickly grabbed my bat and ran back to my room with my phone still in hand.

"Jaden, someone's in the apartment." I rushed as I ran into my closet and shut the door.

"Well, yeah. It's you." He replied, not thinking I was serious.

"No, as in someone just walked through the door. As in someone else is here."

"Wait, you're being dead ass?" He questioned, all playfulness in his voice completely gone.

"Yes." I whisper shouted as I heard footsteps down the hall. "There is someone fucking else in this place with me right now."

"I'll be there soon okay. Just stay where you are." He instructed, making me roll my eyes.

"Well what the fuck did you think I was going to do? Invite them in to eat pizza?" I asked, making him sigh.

"Okay, I'm sorry. Just be careful."
