Crazed Heart (jai brooks)

Chapter 14

Riley's POV:

I woke up to a cold and empty bed. I looked around in search for Jai and lifted my head but quickly placed it back on the pillow as my heavy head ached from the pressure. I turned to my left towards my bedside table and noticed the alarm clock reflected the time of 4pm. I sighed. I hated sleeping through the day, because it always lead to me being awake and restless the following night. My attention quickly trailed over to the tall glass that stood still next to my alarm clock, along with two paracetamol tablets. I smiled, mentally thanking Jai for his sweet, kind gestures. The two pills slid softly down my throat with the help from the well-needed water. As I placed the water glass back beside me a pink sheet of paper stood out as it slipped from the table and onto the floor. I reached down to retrieve it and I automatically recognised jais messy handwriting. The thought put a smile to my face.

I read the note as I imagined Jai's voice. The note read:

Goodmorning!

Just went to the supermarket to get some groceries, when you wake up I may be gone but I fiured that you may need some things. I called your work and told them you were ill so dont worry, lol. See you when i'm back...

Jai xx

p.s hope the pills helped lol;)

I giggled at his ridiculousness. I bit my lip as the smile never shifted off of my face, even though I felt like shit, he always seemed to make me smile. Its just something about him. I pushed my thoughts aside when I warily hung my feet over the side of my bed, placing my bunny slippers on in the process. I stood up as dizziness filled throughout my head. I rubbed my temple as I walked groggily to the kitchen. I placed down a mug from the cupboard as I switched on the kettle as it started to boil. The sound of the whistling steam filling my ears and making my head ache in the process. The sound of the slamming from my front door echoed throughout the apartment as Jai stumbled in rubbing his hands together from the cold. I smiled as the feeling of warmth overcame my body. He placed down the groceries next to the door as he removed his dark laced boots. His gaze eventually tumbling over to me. He did a double take as he stared at me. A worried expression overcame his features as he rushed in, his cold hands immediately touching my small arms as he rubbed them softly. His gaze remained on me as he asked "What are you doing up?" with confusion laced onto his face.

"I woke up" I said, stating the obvious. 

"You need to rest" I trailed on as he took my hands and guided me back to the bedroom before I stopped him by unlacing my hands from his.

"No, I cant sleep" I said truthfully.

He sighed as he looked at me sympathetically. "Movie Night?" He asked after a pause. 

"Movie night." I confirmed with a smile.

He took my hand again before placing me on the sofa. He stood back up as he we went next door to get the spare blankets from the cupboard. Jai pretty much knew where everything was now. He had been here a few days and he has been great company for me. I found it weird how he knew where to put certain things and where things were. I know that when he leaves, I will miss him.

He strolled back in the room with the blanket in one hand and a tray full of treats and refreshments in the other. He placed everything on the coffee table as he placed himself behind me on the sofa as we both lay down in a 'spooning' position. I had already picked the movies that we were going to watch but we settled on 22 jump street. We cuddled up to each other as Jai's arm draped over my waist. I melted into him when the movie started playing. 

We continued to watch the movie as my thoughts trailed off to what happened the other day at the alley. What did Jai mean? He told me that I shouldnt be with him.... I know that there is a lot of chemistry between me and Jai but it hasnt been discussed between the two of us. I think we are both confused and just want to live the moment as it comes. I found myself asking more and more questions in my head, but the one that baffled me most was, Why was jai making himself out to be some kind of dangerous person? Why cant I fall for him? Why was he 'bad for me'?

Before I could comprehend what I was doing, the words tumbled out from my mouth.

"Jai? Why did you say you were bad for me and that I shouldnt fall for you?" 

He stared at me with a nervous look. 

"Look, all you need to know is that I have done some things in the past that I know you wont like, okay?" I could tell from his short and snappy answer that he was starting to get frustrated with my question. But for some reason, despite his agitated tone, I decided to question him more.

"What do you mean 'things that I wont like'?"

"Just drop it Riley" He said getting angrier by the second. This agitated me.

"No, if i'm not gunna like it I deserve to know" I said stubbornly. 

The crease in his forehead had now got bigger due to his increasing anger.

"Stop fucking questioning me all the time" He argued.

"Well why should I? I deserve to know about someone that I'm getting myself involved with" I argued back.

"Riley, Your annoying me, just leave it and watch the film" He said with his voice raising.

"No, I just want to know what you me-". I was cut off my Jais raging voice.

"JUST DROP IT RILEY, STOP BEING SO FUCKING NOSEY ALL THE TIME" He shouted before storming out the room and out the apartment with the slam of the door. I winced with the sharp sound. I sighed as the thought of what just happened made my head ache. I lay there with the TV still rolling, thinking about the previous events. But what bugged me the most, is that after all that just happened, I miss him already.
