Deceit in their silence - Completed

Thirty Three.

I heard my phone buzzing at the other side of the room and sighed. I should probably get it but I really couldn't be bothered. Let it ring. I turned over and shit myself, falling out of the bed. My eyes widened as I sat on the floor naked and last night came back to me with a throbbing headache. I ran around the bed and grabbed my phone. 

"Hello?" 

"There you are where have you been?" 

"Sorry You woke me up." I pulled the phone back looking at the time and who was calling. "What's up." 

"I'm having to take the girls to town to get their nails done and they want to do some Christmas shopping. I've left now because none of us could get through to you. I've brought the other boys with me except Jaxson. I think he's still in bed. Don't know haven't seen him." 

"Okay Sonny. No worries. I'm going back to bed. I'm hungover as fuck and no offence but your voice is making me feel sick." He laughed down the phone at me.  I picked Jax's shirt up from the floor and pulled it on, fastening the middle 3 buttons. 

"Okay. Call if you need me. I can be home in 3 minutes."

"Okay bye." I hung up the phone and looked back at the bed where Jaxson was sat up and smiling at me. 

"Hungover my arse." 

"Well I couldn't exactly say 'Sorry Sonny I didn't go to bed until gone 6am because I was having wild sex with my boyfriend that you don't know about' could I?" I walked back around to the bed, climbing in on his side, making him move up slightly. 

"Boyfriend huh?" I rolled my eyes and laughed. 

"Well what else would you label us as?" He rolled over and grabbed something off the bedside table. 

"No boyfriend works fine for now." He moved up slightly so he was sat up a little bit. I stayed under his arm, laying my head on his chest. He put the box from last night in front of me. "Its not THE ring don't worry. I got it as a Christmas present but after what we said last night I thought you needed it now." 

I sat up and crossed my legs. I bit the middle of my lip and looked at him. He nodded at it and I looked down, pulling the ribbon from it and slowly opening the box. 

I stared at a tiny gold ring with a knot in it. It was cute. I don't know what it was, but it was cute. 

"It's a promise ring." He took the box from me and climbed out of the bed. I spun around, staying sat but facing out as he got down onto his knees "This is me promising you that although I'm not proposing right now because it's way too early, I will soon. Its a promise that I will do everything in my power to not hurt you again like I did last year and a promise for everything I said last night." He took my right hand and slid the ring onto my ring finger. I looked at how it sat on my tanned skin. It almost melted in perfectly with how dainty it was. I loved that the girls probably wouldn't notice it because it was so small. I wasn't sure how they'd react to everything about last night. 

"I love it." I smiled as he wiped a tear from my cheek. "I love you." 

"I love you too Gorgeous." He grabbed my face in both hands and kissed my forehead strongly. "What do you want to do today since we have the house to ourselves?" 

"I really need to do some sort of exercise. How about swimming in the indoor pool?" 

"There's an indoor pool?" 

"Did I not tell you guys? It's down in the cellar. Heated and everything." 

"I can't believe you kept that from me." 

"Let me shower and get dressed and I'll show you." 

"We need to eat first." He stood up and I took his hand standing up beside him. "Can you wear that shirt all day please?" 

"Why?" 

"Because it looks so good on you. I love you in my clothes. They make you look so small." 

"I may be small but I can take you down easy."

"No you can't." 

"Yes I can. I've proved it once, I can do it again just as easy." 

"Prove it." 

"I will once your arm heals. I can't have you using it as an excuse." 

"I bet you can't take me down even with the bad arm." I turned around now and squared up to him. It looked pathetic considering the height difference. 

"Oh yeah? What are we betting?"  I raised my eyebrows. 

"Whoever looses has to cook and clean up Christmas dinner with their friends respectively." 

"Oh you are fucking on. Got get dressed I am taking you down, screw the pool." 

"No I want to go in the pool." 

"We can once you loose." 

"But I really want to go in." 

"Funny." I rolled my eyes and pushed on his shoulder. "Go on." I walked into the bathroom and dropped his shirt to the floor, knowing he was still watching me as I did. 

I felt his arms wrap around my waist in the middle of the bathroom and spun me around. 

"Jaxson." I screamed amongst laughter. "Put me down I need a shower." 

"Let me shower with you." He kissed my neck and kept his arms tight around my waist. 

"I don't think that's a good idea." 

"Why not?" 

"Because you need all the blood in your head if you have any chance of beating me." 

"Oh I'll fucking beat you alright." He spun me around and started backing me up against the shower wall, his hands firmly on my hips. 

"Jax-" 

"Shh. At least let me win one thing today." 

"Is that you admitting you know I'm going to win?" 

"Lennox." He sighed as he kissed along my collar bone "Shut the fuck up." I laughed and kept my hands gently placed on his shoulders. "You're so fucking hot."
