One to blame

45☘️

                  Jayson's POV

I watched as Cleo paced back and forth from the corner of my eye as I tried to keep my sole focus on the text messages in front of me

The first text was from a 404 number and it said "you think that's it?"

What the fuck does that even mean?

The second text was from a 603 number and it said "so that's the plan? You left me and found a man with Money?"

I just sat there confused as I kept reading

The last text was from a 319 number and it said "I went past your job today and they told me that you haven't worked there in a while. I went to your house too but you weren't home. I just wanna talk to you. I know you still love me"

This can't be who I think it is

This is what she was losing sleep over?

"It's the crazy dude isn't it?" I asked

Cleo nodded

I just chuckled and handed her phone back to her

"What if he finds out where we live?" She asked as she paced back and forth

I just raised my eyebrow and shook my head

"You have security now" I pointed out

"I have what now?" She asked in confusion

"Security...as in guards" I chuckled

"Since when do-" she started

"The moment you signed your name on that dotted line next to mine " I replied

Cleo just looked at me in confusion

"Have you not noticed the extra 2 men that follow us around on game days?" I laughed

"Yeah but I thought they were for you" she said as she pointed to me

"Nope, Randy and Jonah watch my back while Marcus and Hank cover you and Deuce" I nodded

"Oh"

"Trust me; you're safe. Anybody that tries to get too close to you without permission from either of us is either getting seriously hurt or thrown in a cell " I chuckled

I watched as she laughed

"Both can be an option depending how bad they piss me off" I added while she just laughed harder

After a couple minutes the laughter died down

"If you're still uncomfortable, we could go to the police station and file a report" I nodded

I watched as she shook her head

"I called Grace when it happened the second time because I was worried and Apparently the dude she's talking to is a Cop. He said the only thing that I could report is the strange texts; since they came from different numbers it would be hard proving that it's one person responsible" she shrugged

"Can't you still try?" I asked

"Yeah since I've already had issues with him..it's just that PROVING that it's him is impossible" she shrugged

"Well I can promise you nobody's gonna do shit to you as long as I'm breathing" I said as I grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to me

"I know, I honestly don't even understand why I was so nervous about it in the first place" she said as she laid her head on my chest

She's a worrier; sometimes she needs to panic about things first and that's okay

"Can we talk about dinner now?" She asked
