More Than Love - Part 5

Please don't kill me. I know it's been about three years since my last update but I'm SO LAZY. I promise not to make you wait years for the next update. I PROMISE. Unless I have a surprise pregnancy or die of some mysterious illness, the next part will be up this week.

Or next week. Or the week after.

"Stone, let me out," I said for the umpteenth time.

He ignored me just as he had for the past twenty minutes, and I decided to stop trying, instead, pulling out my phone to text Tyler.

Me: Won't be home till late

Tyler: Why?

I glanced over at Stone who was grinding his teeth, his jaw clenching.

Me: I quit work so I'm going to go look for some potential job interviews

Tyler: You quit??

Me: Yeah

Tyler: Why?

Me: Eli's a bitch

Tyler: Oh, ok

I hearted his message and went back to staring out the window, quickly becoming dizzy from the way the city was passing by. Stone was definitely going over the speed limit.

My phone dinged and I quickly unlocked it.

Tyler: It's okay that you're going to be late

The three dots appeared and the disappeared, like he was thinking about what to type.

Tyler: I'm held up

The three dots appeared once more.

Tyler: Held up at work. Sorry, gotta go.

I sent back a thumbs up and put my phone on the console, before drumming my fingers on my knee. The car was too silent for my liking. "Stone? Can I go?"

He didn't reply.

I decided I'd have to take drastic measures. I sniffled and pretended to wipe away a tear, putting my head down in my arms.

Loud honking nearly made me have a heart attack, and the car began to swerve, before coming to a screeching stop. I heard the car door open, but I refused to lift my head to see what was going on, I was insistent to keep up the act.

I felt my car door open, and warm hands pressed to the sides of my head. "Ella? Ella?" Stone rasped. I felt him lean closer to me. "Baby? I'm so sorry. I wasn't trying to upset you. Please stop crying."

I started to feel bad but I was still upset over how he had kidnapped me, so I sniffled and buried my head deeper in my arms.

I heard Stone take a sharp breath, and he started to run his hands through my hair. "Please, love. I'm sorry. Please stop crying. I'll listen to whatever you have to say." He took a sharper breath. "I'll even... Take you back to Tyler, if that will make you stop crying."

I lifted my head at that and gave him a weak smile. At the sight of my non-red or puffy eyes, and the clear lack of sadness present on my face, Stone glared down at me.

"You little liar," he murmured in a gruff tone, his eyes piercing through me.

I shrugged. "You wouldn't listen to me."

He huffed. "Because I don't want you anywhere where I am not."

I tilted my head and smirked. Deepening my voice, I said, "I'll even... Take you back to Tyler, if that will make you stop crying."
