Sinfully Ruined [17+]

Chapter 12: The Watch.

Jace Carson

Looking up, my gaze travells to the tranquil shade of dark blue blending in the sky, dark silhouette of birds flying high their distant chirping makes the evening seem more enthralling. Sitting by the rooftop of my apartment I see the beautiful night taking dominance while hundreds of stars light up the sky.

It has been two days since we decided to give up our search, everyone had been going on with their lives as usual ever since. I'd been conflicted at first but eventually had to gave in.

Alexis has planned an outing with a bunch of our friends which includes visiting a zoo. She has a weird fetish about animals and finds even the reptiles cute. Crazy I know. But I just couldn't deny when she asked me in that cute little bubbly voice dancing with excitement. It almost felt like a crime to say 'no'.

I dress up in my faded blue jeans and dark shirt, styling my hair back I keep them messy. Content with my look, my hands wander into the drawer looking for my watch.

After a whole minute of nothing, I pull the whole thing out. My eyes travel to all the different sets of tie and watches but I still don't find the one I am looking for. The analouge blue dial metallic watch, one of the many collections I own.

Sighing, I grab my car keys and rush towards the parking lot. As I get settled back into the car I couldn't help but think about my watch. It had been a gift from Nathan on my 20th birthday. The only coolest thing I received that day because we were in the middle of our training period. Though I don't know how he got it for me but I've kept it since then and also because it went well with most of my clothes. Now that I think of it I haven't seen it for quite a long time.

Unconsciously, my mind keeps wandering over the watch as I drive, various possibilities keep dancing in my head making me frustrated.

Not long after I find myself in front of the Los Angeles Zoo, as it's massive structure greets me. Parking my car back I try locating her towards the entry point. My eyes instantly catch my girl waiting on me towards the entry gates. She has a sky blue blouse on with white pants to match. Her hair tied into a messy bun, smokey eyes with a slight blush brushed on her cheek. Carrying my feet towards her I notice a few of her friends along with Ash and Nathan casually trying to make a conversation.

"Someone's looking hottt!" one of her friend comments while playing with her hair, her eyes raking me from top to toe.

"And that hot stuff's mine." Alexis finishes as her lips hold me in a possessive kiss. She pulls away to eye her friend who raises her hand in surrender. I chuckle at that as I pull her close to me.

"Let's get going, all that sexual tension is driving me crazy." Ash huffs out while Nathan smiles at me proudly.

Grabbing my hand she pulls me towards the gates while others walk leisurely behind. "You can all go see whatever you guys want to, just stay close and don't fuck up." she announces back to everyone with a bright smile glued to her face.

"Hey, have you by any chance borrowed a watch from me a few weeks ago or something?" I ask Ash slowing my pace with my hand still resting on the small of her back.

"Nah, I don't think so." he shrugs as he walks away to watch a bunch of koalas jumping. Alexis guilty eyes meet mine as she walks away following Ash.

"What's with the watch?" I hear Nathan's voice behind me. I sigh slightly frustrated with having to deal with this now cause I certainly couldn't lie to him.

"The blue dial watch. One that you got me a few years ago on my 20th birthday. I'd kept it with me all these years but somehow I accidentally lost it. And I can't find it since the Mason's party." I state, involuntarily adding the lost detail with my back still faced to him.
