Gang Leader's Little Princess

Chapter 2

When I woke up the next morning Jackson was sitting on the floor leaning against the door. He looked to be asleep but as I sat up his eyes sprung open. He asked, "would you like something to eat?"

I nodded my head "yeah please, why are you in my room?"

He got off the floor brushing off his pants "if you had looked around the house you would have noticed..."

"Noticed what?" I interrupted.

Jackson continued "it would allow me to continue, this is a one bedroom place. Last night I didn't get your permission to share the bed and you had all the blankets."

I nodded my head smiling sheepishly "sorry, you should have woken me up."

He shook his head "I could never do that when you looked so peaceful."

I nodded my head smiling sheepishly "thank you, Jackson."

He left the room without another word leaving me to freshen up. Once I had fixed my hair and brushed my teeth I went out and joined Jackson.

When he saw me he did a double take, I was still dressed in my pyjama shorts and a singlet. I sat down at the counter "so what have you come up with?"

He lifted the spoon to my lips "chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate sauce and strawberries."

I licked my lips "yum."

He smiled "I heard they are your favourite?"

I nodded my head "yeah they are, Jackson when are we going home?"

He brought his finger to his lips sucking away some sauce he got on his finger "Sapphire it won't be for quite a while."

I nodded my head giving him a tight smile "ok I guess I'll be in my room."

As I was at the exit in the kitchen Jackson spoke up "what about your breakfast?"

A few hours had passed and I was still in our room, I hadn't heard a peep from Jackson.
As I was walking to the bathroom Jackson interrupted me "Sapphire you need to eat your breakfast!"

I shook my head "I'm not hungry sorry."

He nodded his head "it's there when you want it."

I gently said, "thank you for everything."

He gently grabbed my hand squeezing it "if you need anything all you need to do is ask."

As he went to pull his hand from mine I stopped him "can you cuddle me for a while?"

He looked at me dumbfounded for a moment before laying down behind me. He scooted as close as he could before wrapping one arm around me. He ran his fingers over my slightly exposed stomach drawing circles. I asked, "where are your family Jackson?"

He cuddled his face into my neck "I don't have one, your father took me in at fourteen, training me to do this job. The reason he took me in was that I had been homeless since the age of ten because I was kicked out of home."

I rolled over to face him, I asked "why did you become homeless, that is if you want to tell me."

He nodded his head brushing some of my hair from my eyes "dad was a fireman he was killed in the line of duty when I was four, mum remarried to a horrid man. He abused me and one day I went to the cops he was let out and he made mum choose him or me. She made her choice and here I am now."

I cuddled into his chest burying my head into the crook of his neck "you haven't had it easy have you?"

He nodded his head "others have it worse, can I ask what happened to your mother?"

I nodded my head "dad was starting out in the gang world, mum and I were coming home from shopping. We had just gotten to the car when a few men came up behind us, they had guns. I was scared and we were crying, they took us to a warehouse. Mum went in one room and I went into another, they raped her while they had dad on speaker they then killed her." I chocked out through my sobs "I was in the room next to hers I heard everything all her pleas everything, three days later dad came for me and took me home."

He whipped the tears that had fallen down my cheeks, he asked "did they ever do anything to you?"

I shook my head "they just scared me, they would push me to breaking point but nothing too bad."

He nodded his head "you are one strong kid."

I punched him in the arm "I am not a kid!" I yelled at him.

He laughed while rubbed at the shoulder I had punched, he said in a teasing tone "for a kid you can certainly hit." I was then pulled into his arms so I was now laying on top of him "your also a beautiful girl" he added.

I nodded my head smiling wider "the prettiest you forgot to add."

He smiled at me "that I did."

I was running my finger along the scar on his chin. I looked up to his eyes as I did I saw he was looking at my lips. I whispered, "I want you to kiss me, Jackson."

He nodded his head "one condition, you tell me why you call me Jackson when it's meant to be Jax to everyone?"

I smiled at him "because to me you don't look like a Jax you look like a Jackson."

His smile grew before I could smile back his lips were on mine. It was everything I had ever wanted to be in my first kiss, even with the guy I wanted to take it.
