Bucky POV:
We walk in and she looks around.
"You grew up here?" She gasps
"Yep"
"It looks like a museum"
"Oil money, Angel"
It's true, we were stupid, nasty, dirty rich. The money went back years.
"Jamie, I can show Ms. Lavender around while you put away your bags"
"Quit the act, Jax"
"Bucky, don't be like that" She whispers
"Fine, go and do whatever"
I roll my eyes and go up the elevator.
Jaxon was known for being the "womanizer" everyone loved his charm and charisma. He was the golden boy. The only flaw he had was that he was aggressive. Dearest mommy and daddy tried everything to get poor Jaxy-Waxy to calm down, but nothing worked. Also tried everything to get that assault charge off his record, and of course, money buys everything.
I drop the bags on the floor and go back down.
I hear her giggling and I walk into one of the living rooms. He was covering her hands with his, looking at her just like I did, but of course only one of them was real.
"I just really can't believe that you did that" Jax laughed
I fake laughed at whatever they were chuckling about and lean on the frame, looking severely unamused.
"Bucky" She smiled, taking her hands from under his. "I was telling Jaxon how I had a water balloon fight with my cousins in an unfinished house"
"You've never told me that" I mumble
I sit next to her and flip through the channels on the TV. "Jamie, I can't believe that you never told me about your wonderful fiancé! She's an Angel"
"Aw, no! I'm just a regular person trying to get by. But you all! Wow! Bucky never told me he was this rich"
"Poor Jamie doesn't like talking about his family"
"Where's Jesslyn?" I change the subject
"In the kitchen"
"The main kitchen?"
"You know when we have guests we use the main kitchen"
"You have multiple different kitchens?" Dove gasps
"3, My dear" Jaxon answers
"Oh, fuck off" I scoff
"Is something wrong, brother?"
"You putting on this cutesy little charm boy act? She can't see through you, but you're a glass wall to me"
"Bucky" She mumbled
"I'm so sick of you" I point at Jax
He glances at Dove, looking as innocent as he tried to.
"Why are you being like this...? Your brother has only been nice to me. Whatever you have going on with him, doesn't have anything to do with me"
"What I have going on with him? Jaxon, tell her what you did. Tell her how the hell Jace died"
"Jamie, now is not the time" He mumbles
"Tell her who the fuck drove the damn car"
He looks at his hands.
"Tell her"
"Fine" He sighed. "Dove, when I was 16, Jess 17, James 13, and Jace 12, we went on a joyride. My idea. Jace and James were the only ones who didn't want to go, but I knew if they stayed behind Mother would become suspicious. So he came. I didn't have a license, only a permit and I was swerving around the neighborhood as I owned it. One wrong turn and suddenly a homeless man popped up, I swerved and hit a tree. 5 minutes later a fireman, police and our parents were there. I and Jess got out. James had Jace laying on his shoulder. Dead. Jamie looked horrified. The homeless man was dead too"
"Wow, how have I never heard of this before? A rich family with two deaths?"
"Dearest mommy and daddy paid them off" I scoffed. "Painted the picture that Jesslyn was driving and someone was standing in the road, screaming at us like a manic and she tried to swerve and he got in the way. She hit the tree and Jace died. Didn't want poor Jax's future to go to shit. We as the hero. Jace as the victim and the guy as the monster"
She looked at her hands while me and Jaxon traded nasty looks.
"I'm really sorry. For both of you." She whispers
I pull her into my chest and rub her arm. "You don't need to be sad for us"
She looks up at me and I kiss her.
"Well, now that our dirty laundry is all aired out, who's hungry?" He laughs
"Go on, I have to talk to my fiancé"
"If he's mean to you let me know" He winks
"I'd knock you out in seconds" I scoff
He walks away and I look at Dove. "Keep your distance from him"
"You sound jealous"
"This isn't up for discussion. I can sound like a jealous asshole all damn day but you don't get close to him"
"Why?"
"He's dangerous"
"Dangerous? What's he gonna do? Kidnap me?"
"He'll manipulate the shit out of you. He would manipulate God if he had the chance. He's a narcissist. Stay the hell away from him"
"And who are you to tell me who to be around?"
"Absolutely nobody, Angel" I grin. My lips press against hers and she licks my bottom lip.
I take the kiss further and she puts her hand on my crotch. "After dinner, we can go upstairs and do whatever you want" I whisper
"Yay" She whispers back, biting my lip
I sink into the kiss until I hear heels clicking. "Glad my baby brother decided to visit me"
I sigh and hang my head down. "Jesslyn"
"Mother said to come to the kitchen"
"I'll be there in a second. Unless you wanna watch us make out, I recommend you go"
She snickers and walks away.
My lips immediately go back to Doves.
"You're stalling" She laughs
"Sadly" I smile
I take her hand and pull her up from the couch, taking her to the kitchen.
"Wow" She whispers to me
"What is it?"
"Your dad. He's hot"
I snap my head over to her. "Dove, really?" I laugh
"And your sister"
I brush off her admiration and we take a seat at the dinner table.
"How have you been, James?" My dad grinned, the lines on his face showing
Let the games begin.
A: N (I'm sorry how short this is, I wanted to get you a chapter before I went to sleep but I had to write an essay and I got school in the morning. I'll try to make the next one longer)
