Trapped In Your Love

22

Sitting on Ella's lap, Ashton excitedly sliced the cake as he heard his uncles and aunt sing 'Happy Birthday' for him.

Ella happily clapped and then preceded to give everyone a slice of cake. Everything was good, except the fact that she was seated beside Xavier, who was acting a bit weird since Augustus came in. And Augustus who sat in front of her, was looking like he was ready to murder Xavier anytime now.

"The cake is really good, Ella." Aiden said as he took another bite.

"You baked it?" Xavier asked to which Ella just nodded.

"Lucky Augustus," Xavier said with a sigh and kept his plate back on the table: "I also want a wife with long hair and who can bake me amazing cookies and cakes." He completed tucking a strand of Ella's long brown hair behind her ear.

Ella just flashed him an awkward smile, not quite sure of what he was up to. But Aiden seemed to be holding back his laughter, as his face was red and Augustus on the other side was just wanting to kill him more and more brutally each passing second.

"Are you for real?" Ella asked between her laughs as Xavier continued to tell her about one of the incidents, where the three of them were banned from a street race.

"Seriously. Right, Augustus?" Xavier asked as his arm came around Ella's shoulder. Augustus' eyes had darkened and his whole demeanor had changed to a scarier one than it usually was.

"And you remember the other time when we were arrested?" Xavier asked sensing the dangerous air which lingered in the atmosphere. He was thankful that Ashton was sent to bed because it was his bedtime.

"That one was a real mess." Aiden said laughing as he remembered what had happened. His best friends may be crazy, but he was thankful that he had them.

"Yeah..." Xavier said as his other hand came to Ella's knee caressing it.

Seeing his hand Ella looked at Xavier with a raised eyebrow, not sure of the reason he was acting all weird.

"Play along." Xavier whispered leaning towards her ear. He smiled knowing what he was doing might have some repercussions.

Ella just stared at him, trying to figure out what was going on in that psychotic mind of his. She didn't know what it was, but it sure had its reactions, and one of the major roles in those reactions was played by Augustus, who sat right in front of her, angry as hell, and ready to kill Xavier or anyone in a matter of seconds.

"So, Ella... I bet you have some experiences to share." Xavier asked as he moved his face a bit close to Ella's. He knew it was just a matter of seconds before his dear friend would just drain the life out of him.

"Uhm... I-" Ella started but was cut off when she felt Augustus pull her behind him. His grip a bit tight and she was pulled behind his large behind, blocking Xavier's view.

"Whatever the fuck you think you're doing," Augustus said to Xavier as his eyes represented nothing but pure anger: "Don't."

"She's mine." Saying this Augustus dragged Ella with him towards their bedroom.

Watching the couple go Xavier smirked while Aiden just chuckled seeing his friend.

"You think it worked?" Xavier asked.

"What?" Aiden asked: "Making him angry or you peeing in your pants?"

"I did not pee in my pants." Xavier defended. He may not have done that but he sure was scared seeing how Augustus was completely driven by an unexplainable anger and possessiveness.

"You need to change pants?" Aiden teased his friend, chuckling.

"Fuck off." Xavier replied.
