COME.AND.PLAY - The Final Blow *Finale* *JAMES MORIARTY FANFICTION*

20. Runaways

30 minutes into the game and James and Zachary had both gone all in pushing everything they had into the middle.

"200,000 in the pot." The dealer said.

I was physically shaking. He just wanted to get revenge and it was such a bad idea. If he lost he would lose everything.

"Take my car." James said throwing his keys onto the table. Zachary laughed and threw his own keys onto the table. "Take mine." He smirked.

"James what the hell are you doing." Sebastian whispered. He was holding my hand tightly. "Sebastian he's going to lose everything he has to stop." I said.
"He won't he's as stubborn as anything. You know him." He sighed.
"Sebastian.." I trialed off. James said, "I think I'll call you on that one." Zachary shook his head. He laid down a pair of threes.

"Three threes and an ace. High hand." The dealer said. James shook his head. He laid down a Jack. He then shifted the jack aside to reveal another jack. "Four jacks and an ace." The dealer said. "High hand wins. Mr Moriarty wins."

A sighed a huge sigh of relief and Sebastian shook his head. "That bastard." I said. Zachary was mad. Angry. Pissed off. I tried to avoid eye contact but I could feel his eyes on me. James sauntered over to me and kissed me. "Told you I'd win didn't I?" He said smirking.

"No. You gave me the biggest fright of my life I thought you'd lost everything and I just-" I stopped. He grinned. "Don't look at me like that." I sighed.

"Honey let's go back to the room." He smirked. "Fine." I said and Sebastian said he'd stay in the bar.

We got back to the room and James took his jacket off. "Honey, we are now twice as rich as we were." He said.

"James I don't care about money I just want you to make the right choice." I said.

"I did honey." he came over to me and held my waist. "Stop worrying. We are going to start a family and be happy. He won't bother you anymore." He said. Somehow I wasn't so convinced. "I know." I said. "Good." He smiled and said, "I'm going to take a shower." I nodded and watched him disappear. I decided to get changed into something more comfortable.

10 minutes later there was a knock at the door. I opened it to find Sebastian. "Hey." I said. "Hey." He said grabbing me and pulling me out into the corridor. He closed the door behind me. "What?" I asked confused.

"Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah I'm fine why?" I asked. He swallowed hard and I could see the worry plastered across his face. "Where's Jim?" He asked.
"In the shower. What's wrong?"
"Zachary. I over heard him talking to that woman about how he's going to teach James a lesson. God, Charlotte I'm terrified for you. You and James need to both get back to London as soon as possible." He explained.

"He said that earlier?" I asked.

"Literally 10 minutes ago. I have a feeling he's looking for you." He said looking around. He grabbed my hand. "Look I don't care that James is holding a grudge against me for kissing you. I could kiss you again for all I care. And earlier today on the beach you looked so perfect I just wanted you to let me love you. I wish I had met you before James. You'd be safer, and no one would want to harm you. I'd come home every day and kiss you and hold you and make you dinner and breakfast. I'd look after you when you're ill and I'd protect you with my life. But I never get what i want. I'm always following his orders. Always. I want you I still do and that's why I want to at least keep you safe. So please, hurry James along so we can leave."

I was speechless. "Sebastian... I-"

"No we can talk later. Please go and get him." He said pushing me towards the door.

I opened the door and walked inside. As the door shut I was staring into space. I couldn't get his words off my mind. And as he said all this, he doesn't even know I'm pregnant...

I knocked on the bathroom door and he opened it. "Honey, come go join?" He grinned.

"No. Sebastian said we have to leave." I said. James frowned.

"And why is that?" He asked.

"Zachary, apparently he said he's going to teach you a lesson." I told him. He only chuckled.

"Let him try." He said.

"Well anyway we need to leave. Now." I said.

"Really? We just got here and-"

"But he followed us here! For the sake of me and our unborn child can we please leave." I said.

"Honey, but-"

"James! I'm not kidding. I'm feeling more paranoid by the minute over this. Over him. And I feel its going to have a negative effect on me and the baby. Sebastian is waiting outside. Please go and get dressed and I'll start packing." I explained.

"Charlotte-"

"Go!" I shouted picking up the suitcase and putting clothes and other things back into it.

Soon we were packed and James wasn't talking to me. He just didn't understand. Did the victory get to him or something. We cannot stay here.

Soon we were on the plane on our way back to London. James had gone to sleep and Sebastian and I were still awake. "Sebastian I think I should tell you something." I said.

"Yeah?" He asked smiling.

"Well, I figured I may as well tell you now since you're going to find out sooner or later. I'm pregnant." I said.
