Part 19

"Connor, what are you doing here?" I asked as Connor looked at saw how I was dressed and saw Johnny.

"What is going on? Were you two on a date?" Connor asked and I groaned.

"Yeah, we were." I heard Johnny said behind me and I just looked at him.

"Johnny..." I said and he sighed but disappeared out of sight.

"Connor, come inside. We need to talk." I said and he nodded as we walked to the couch.

"Let me start Cece." He said and I groaned.
"Can you please call me Gracie and Grace? Cece is a name that only one person calls me and I cant take that away from them. I thought I could but I cant." I said and Connor slightly shook his head.

"Whatever, Gracie listen, I know I screwed up everything when I stormed out that night and then didn't talked to you for as long as I did but I wanted to come and make it up to you and hope you would give me one more chance." Connor said and I sighed.

"Connor, you ran out at the first sign of trouble or issue with my brother. I mean okay he brought up me letting someone go right before I met you but I bet if I went through your ex list and how soon you dated after you broke up with someone I would find something wrong there too. I'm sorry I just cant take getting hurt again when you walk out when someone else does something to upset you." I said and Connor groaned.

"So you are letting me go, just like that? Because I made one damn mistake?! Sorry I couldn't be perfect like you think you are." Connor said raising his voice and standing up.

"I think you need to leave Connor." I said standing up and going to talk to the door but Connor grabbed my upper arm.

"We aren't done here." Connor said and he gripped tighter.

"Connor, you are hurting me." I said trying to get out of his grip and he gripped tighter.

"You don't know how bad I can hurt you." Connor said.

"HEY!" Johnny yelled and threw a fireball just missing Connor and he quickly released me. Johnny rushed over to me and pulled me behind him.

"You okay?" Johnny asked me as I rubbed my arm.

"I'll be fine." I said.

"Next time I wont miss." Johnny said to Connor.

"So this is what you want? First Victor Von Doom and Now Johnny Storm, you have a type don't you Gracie?" Connor said as he headed to the door.

"Meaning?" I asked confused.

"Always go for the rich and famous guys." Connor said and Johnny went to send another fireball at him and I placed my arm on his shoulder.

"Hey, stop. Don't want to set the apartment on fire." I said and Johnny said.

"I want him gone." Johnny said.

"Don't worry I am gone." Connor said and left. Johnny turned and looked at my arm and he saw it red and starting to bruise.

"Has he touched you like that before?" Johnny asked and I shook my head.

"No, that was new." I said and Johnny groaned and then I placed my hand under his chin to look at me.

"I am okay, I promise. You were here to protect me." I said and he smiled. He leaned in and gave me a small kiss. It started off small and quickly turned passionately and Johnny gently laid me down on the couch. As we made out I pushed Johnny off.

"Nope not happening Storm, you have a lot to make up for. You don't get rewarded just for saving me." I said and he laughed still hovering over me.
