The UWI Lecturer & the Politician's Son BOOK 3- The King of Kingston

Chapter Nine: Old Fire Stick

Anashé

I woke up feeling the weight of Jaxn's arms around my waist. There was a slight ache in my head and my mouth was dry, like I slept with my mouth open. We are in the settee...I looked around to see the heap of empty bottles of light beer, the empty bag of chips and Netflix.

My head was killing me! I definitely drank too much.

Looking down at my body on the couch, I noticed Jaxn was behind me, his arms and his legs wrapped around me. Oh hell! This looks bad.

If any of my kids woke up and saw this, it just may confuse them. I know nothing happened...he's one of my best friends, and their 'Uncle Jax' but a just how it look.

Slowly, I eased out of his arms, careful not to wake him up.

Instinctively I started cleaning. Taking up the trash, and cups, headed to the kitchen and washed up as quietly as I could.

Last night was good. We watched 'round three movies on Netflix, ate junk food, drank, caught up and just laughed. It was like old times when we used to be each other peace. I needed that. I'm glad he snuck out. The kids were happy to see him as well. He was so good with them.

I wonder why he never had any kids? The way he was patient and loving with mine and Capri's, I just don't get it. He proposed to Liz, so I supposed he wanted to do everything in the right order. Nothing wrong with that.

I smiled as I put the plates in the dish drainer. I heard my phone vibrating on the counter and my brows knitted.

Who calling me at 6:30 on a Saturday?

Taking it up, I noticed it was Capri. I answered the phone with no hesitation.

"Pri?"

"Is Jaxn there?" She asked frantically. Huh?

"Why? What is it?"

"Anashe you need to tell him to leave...or hide him or supn, mi nuh know, cause Kai is on his way over there, and di man look like him out fi murda Jaxn today-today!"

"What the fuck do you mean? How does he know Jax is here?"

"Liz called him and told him," Pri sighed. "Apparently Jaxn told her he was by you helping you witt he kids and hanging out... when he didn't go back home, Liz mussi think unno a fuck or supn, called Kai crying."

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Same time I heard the door being banged down like a mad person was trying to get in.

"Fuck!" My heart was pounding... I'm shaking.

"Nash, jus' try and talk him down," Pri breathed. "Please nuh tell him I told you anything, it may get Ollie in trouble."

The banging got louder, and my stomach twisted into knots as I ran toward Jaxn.

"I got you, call you back soon, "Hanging up, I ran toward Jaxn to wake him up.

"Jax, Jax, Jax, get up!" I whispered as I bent the corner to the living room. Our eyes met, as he stretched and looked toward the front door, confused. Good he was already awake.

"It's Kai, you have to go...or hide or supn, he is not in his right mind right now, and your are shirtless in my living room!" I whispered.

Jaxn smirked and stroked my cheek.

"Relax, let me go talk to him."

"Relax?" Mi a hear him right?

"Jaxn, please, if he hurts you because he thinks supn happened lastnight, I would not be able to live with that, so can you please stop being stubborn?" I'm panicking and Jax was smiling. What the fuck is going on right now. I'm terrified, and with good reason, but Jaxn does not seem to understand the gravity of the situation. Getting up he made him way toward the door, and I watched in a trance, like someone glued me where I stood beside the settee. But mi couldn't move.
