Husband Beater

Chapter Eight

Hey, I had no idea where to go with this story and I want to start another jalex, so I'm gonna end it on some sort of sappy note.

A year later.

It's amazing on what the power of force and love can do. It can bring people up, and bring people down, but if you use it just right, it'll do a mixture of both.

By show of example, I brought Jack down so he realized what he was really doing to me. Then, Jack used his love to bring me up and trust him again.

Jack proposed to me about seven months ago. We got married on a beautiful beach with amazing views of water, and the sunset, and the stars and planets.

We also bought a new house; we bought it to make new, positive vibes. It's a simple one story house with a great view of the water.

Also, we got a bigger bed. Not only for sexual activities, but it tends to get cold easier, so I always find my way to Jack in the middle of the night.

We have a cat, too. His name is Cosmo, due to the stars and planets and galaxies. He's orange and white with rust stain stripes. Cosmo has the most gorgeous pair of green eyes I've ever seen.

Jack and I have argued a few times, but it always winds up with him apologizing, or me if I start it.

Just last week we got in an argument.

"Alex?" Jack called as I added the broccoli to the soup.

Arms found way around my waist as Jack pulled me into his chest.

"I'm sorry I yelled." Jack mumbled.

I sighed and leaned back into him.

"It's okay." I smiled as he pecked my temple.

"Prove it," Jack winked with a firm slap to my ass.

I smirked, turned the soup down, and chased him to the bedroom.

Jack still works his usual shifts at the hospital, and I've picked up a job where I help nurse couples who have been in an abusive relationship back to life.

Sometimes, it works out and sometimes it doesn't. You've gotta try, but if it's to no avail, leave.

"Alex,"

I jumped and spun around.

"Jesus Christ, Jack."

He smiled and grabbed my shoulders to pull me into him.

"Sorry, baby."

I grinned and wrapped my arms around his torso. Jack ran his hands up and down my back and twirled his fingers in my hair softly and then brushed it back down.

Our cat meowed and I picked him up to cuddle him.

"That cat gets more love than I do." Jack whined as he crossed his arms over his chest like a four year old.

"C'mere."

Jack came closer and hugged me from behind, while letting Cosmo. I made little noises at him and bounced him in my arms. Eventually, he wanted down to go nap on his cat bed in the living room.

"My baby," I gasped desperately as Cosmo trotted out of the room.

Jack rolled his eyes and turned me around. I tossed my arms over his neck and stood on my toes to push a kiss into his lips. He met me halfway and held me, while working his lips with mine.

I tangled my hands in his hair and did the same.

Eventually, Jack and I ended up on the bed, shirts and pants left by the door, and we were both dry humping each other.

Our relationship is a mixture of best friends, super cuddly and cute, and hardcore sexual.

Yes, the perfect relationship.

"I love you, Alex."

I smiled and pecked the corner of his mouth.

"I love you too, Jack."

He rolled over beside me and held me to his chest.

This is a lesson learned, children, when life gives you a wilted flower of a relationship, you nurse it back to life.
