Her Right Hand Man

Chapter 4

I hear honking horns and feel a hot ray of sun hitting my face as I begin to flutter my eyes open. I then sit up and stretch and when my eyes are fully open, I am met with an unfamiliar room. I look around as I begin to freak out till I see a pair of glasses on the nightstand...I am in Jaxon's bed. I quickly pull up the comforter and meet with my clothes still on, I sigh in relief until the memories of last night hit me. I was an idiot and confessed my teen crush on him, "Oh shit..." Just as the words leave my mouth I hear the sound of an opened and shut door sound outside the bedroom door. That gives me the sign to get up and think of somehow I'll sneak back to my room, but just as I am about to open the door I am met with a shirtless and sweaty Jaxon. I take a couple steps back so he can come in, "Well good morning sleeping beauty, I see not much has changed. You still sleep in till exactly 10:30am." Jaxon says as he walks in and goes to the boxes marked as clothes. He squats down rummaging through them, but while he is looking away I begin to make a small getaway until a knife flies right by me and hits the wooden door. "I know you aren't trying to run are you," he says before he gets closer and whispers in my ear,"little volpe?" My body gets a chill as those words leave his lips. I clear my throat before I begin to speak,"No, I just wanna take Gunther out on a walk. I am not avoiding you just because I mysteriously woke up in your bed." I obviously lie because I can't lie to someone who knows everything about me. "I already walked him...so you aren't trying to leave because we shared secrets last night? Not because you confessed you had a teen crush on me? Or was it because we made out till you fell asleep suddenly?" He says while taking a step each time he asks a question. At this point I am up against the door, I can't come up with an answer so I just look away from him trying not to give him eye contact.

He lets out a heavy sigh and moves back to give me space, "Go, I know if I try to fight you. It'll cause more issues..." He says while looking away from me. I begin to run away from his room and go up the stairs to mine.

After some time and a long shower, I get dressed up and begin to make my way downstairs. Just as I go down the last few steps, I see Jaxon waiting on the couch patiently waiting for me. "Come on, I have the car waiting down in the lobby for us." He says while getting up and making way to the front door. I follow close behind but before he even opens the door; he turns back around and pins me against the wall and leans down. With our faces a couple inches apart, I am sure he can see the redness in my face while I feel him breathe on my face. Before I know it, he leans his head on my shoulder and takes a deep breath in and lets it out. "Sorry." Is all he says before he goes back to open the door for me. I place my hand over my heart to calm it down before I let out a deep breath and begin to walk to the elevators.

After that we continued in our quietness, I attended various meetings and looked over potential deaths that happen in the week. I scheduled out my week on my phone and on the planner book my mother gave me on my 18th birthday. Just when I feel a migraine, I begin to silently scream from the pain before I go into a drawer and get pills and then walk over to the mini fridge for a water bottle. I pop the pills and drink water before laying on the couch. I let out a sigh before I rub my eyes—I have been working for more than 60 hours this week, but that's the way of life in being a mafia head.

I sigh and hear Jaxon shift against the door. I roll my eyes and grab my phone and begin to look for Angel's contact information. I press the number and begin to hear it ring until the line is picked up. "Hey Angel...yes, I am fine. No I'm not dying, I have called you first before, don't make this into a big shocker." I let out a sigh while Angel tells me I never do and she always has to call and make sure I haven't drowned in wine. "Are you done? Okay, well I need a break and to talk to you...yeah I know rare. Anyway, Fallen Heaven around 8:30-ish, drinks are on me and you are in for a big shocker. Yep, see you tonight bye darling." I say and hear Angel agree and begin her farewell. I check the time and it's about to turn 6 so I go ahead to grab my stuff so I can leave, but just as I am about to leave I hear a knock on the door. I open it and see Jaxon,"Hey. The club is about to open and I wanted to see if you wanna leave." He says as looks me in the eyes. "I was about to come out and tell you and also we are coming back because the girls want to go to the club." I say as I walk out my office and close the door to lock it with my fingerprint. "You have other friends than me, ugh how could you." He says acting all dramatic-like while wiping away a fake tear. I laugh but inside I am slightly happy that we are forgetting what happened earlier today. "In all seriousness, you can join us and hangout with Angel's bodyguard and Mia's husband or sit on your ass at the penthouse." I say while we get into the backdoor elevator and I go against the wall opposite of him. He lets a small chuckle before he says,"Hmm tempting to have the house to myself, but I get paid too well to take care of a very sexy lady who will definitely need protection from drunk bastards." I roll my eyes as we reach the ground floor and begin to walk out to the parking lot and go to my black R8 Audi. "You know I can take care of myself. You can stay home or join us in drinking. Also lying isn't very good for your soul, so just be honest." I say and before he opens the door he turns me around against the car door trapping me with his arms. I look at him confused, but before I could get a word out he brings his hands to my face and pulls me in and begins to kiss me.

At first, I didn't respond to the kiss but then I started to go along with the kiss, but just as fast as it happened it ended just as fast. We pull away from each other and he leans his forehead against mine while my eyes try to find somewhere else to look; he clears his throat and pulls apart from me. "I would never lie to your face." That's all he says before he opens the door behind me and holds it for me. I run a hand through my hair and duck into the car. Once it closes, I feel my face become heated and I cover my face with the palm of my hands.
This is going to be an interesting night...
