BILLIE-HALES & ZEALOUS

Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE

Eventually, Jax gets in and once he closed the door, he starts the engine. Yet out of nowhere, Zeal slaps his hands against the passenger side window.
That's when I look at him I see him and he looks hurt too, but it's not the only thing I see no I see a red mark. I see a red mark on his face.

"You, you hit him?"
I'm looking at Jax when I ask this. It made his eyes go wide before shaking his head.
"Baby, Angel, that mark was already there. You watched us. I didn't touch him. Oh, believe me, I so want to hurt him! I want to go back there and knock him into the next century. Just because he'd put those tears there. I don't know why yet, but I'm hoping you'll tell me and then if I find out that he'd physically hurt you? I swear I swear to Jesus Christ that I'll go looking for him, but for now, you're my priority. I'm doing as you'd asked I'm getting you out of there."

Wow. Not only am I swooning a little, but I'm also wondering who the hell hit him. I'm guessing one of his many conquests you know after seeing all these girls lift their hands.

After about ten minutes of driving around, he finally asks where I want to go. So with my head resting against the headrest, I turn to look at him, and with a small smile, I tell him to take us to my grandpop's place.

"Don't worry. This one doesn't want to kill all, of my boyfriends. Not like my Mum's dad anyway and my dad's." I tell him with a chuckle, especially when I watch his eyes go wide.

"You can win him over though, in case he. You know, in case he gives you the look? Just mention you play rugby, and you'll have a friend for life."
Now he's grinning, and with his response, my face flames.

"Thanks for the tip, but what I'd really like to know is, I'm your boyfriend?"
He's still grinning and all the while he's doing so I want to die. I end up hiding my face, in the palms of my hands. Much to his enjoyment.
He chuckles and then takes hold of my hand, shocking the shit out of me when he brings it up to his lips.

"Just so we're clear. Angel, for as long as I am around and for as long as you'll have me? Then I'll take that title."

As he pulled the truck to a stop, we both take a deep breath.
"Wow," he said, making me smile.
"It's beautiful isn't it?"

While looking over my great-grandfather's land, I see the fields surrounding his huge farmhouse. On the side of that, there's a barn that houses all our family's horses. All descendants of Allstar and Rhy. My granny Hale's mother's horses and Star my horse. Her mum and dad are Lucifer and Angel. Awesome right? She happens to be out running around in her playpen. Only it's a little strange because she'd normally be in her stable round about now.

"Does she have a name?" He asked, and I look at his line of sight obviously looking at her too. So with a big smile on my face, I tell him.
"Her name is Star, and she's my horse. My grandparents had given her to me just last year you know for my eighteenth birthday. She's beautiful isn't she?"
I don't say this as a question. No, it's a statement because she is. She's a beautiful black horse, just like the horse they call Black Beauty.

"Yeah, she's perfect."
When I turn my head, I turn to look at him. Oh lord, he's looking. He's not looking at Star anymore. No, he's looking at me.
"She's perfectly beautiful just like her owner."
Yes, my face flames with a shy smile.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to my baby."
As I say this, I'm just about to open the passenger door when he takes hold of my hand.

"Wait. Just wait. Will, you tell me? You know, about what all that was about? You know, back there with him I mean, if... Shit, if he's like your boyfriend."
I'm shaking my head, knowing where he's going with this.
"No-no, he's definitely not my boyfriend."
