Protected Love

Chapter 11

Tonys P.o.v

The buzzing of my phone woke me up. I had two text messages. The number was unknown but I was pretty sure I could tell who it was from.

without waking August up I moved my arm out from under her and began to read the messages.

from: unknown

8:00

hey Tony it's steph, we

need to talk.

Ugh. I sighed and read the other one.

from: unknown

8:30

okay I'm sorry Tony, but it's been 4 month's. I really, really messed up but we need to straighten things out.

I don't know why but, this made me jump out of bed. I rushed my clothes on as I sent her a message.

to: Steph <3

8:45

meet me @ Starbucks. coffee on me.

a couple minutes after I was ready I ran outside and received another message. As I was running I read the message.

from: Steph <3

8:47

Awe yay. see you then.

And with that I stuffed my phone into my pocket and rushed into Starbucks.

I could see a blond enter, my Stephanie.

"Tony!" She ran over to me and greeted my lips with a kiss. "I missed you so much, I was an idiot babe" she sat across from me.

the word babe felt like a slap in a face. Why? oh yeah that's what August liked to call everyone.

I sighed. August and I were only having fun it meant nothing. All I wanted more than anything now was my Stephanie.

"I missed you too" I smiled at her. a waitress brought over or coffees and we both took our sips.

"So, I need to go to work in an hour but we can hang out when I find back okay?" she held my hands.

I nodded. "Yeah. I really missed you Steph. You don't even know how good it feels to have you back."

"I know." she teased. "thanks for the coffee, see you later"

and with that my beautiful girl left.

After I drank my coffee I happily walked back to Vic and Mike's place. As soon as I walked in everyone eyed me questioningly.

"guys I got Steph back!" I announced.

everyone looked at me in shock then turned to disgust. I looked at August who remained in one reaction I couldn't tell.

"congratulations Tony" she muffled through her tears. before she could cry she ran past me and out the door.

"August?"I turned.

"August!"Vic yelled as he went after her. Summer followed.

Mike and Jaime just stood up and stared at me seriously.

Mike looked like he was a time bomb about to explode. I wonder if that's where August gets her anger issues. Jaime said nothing.

"okay"more said not taking his view away from me. "take a seat Tony"

I confusingly took the seat.

"What do you mean, 'your back with Steph'?" He asked trying not to yell " I thought you were with my sister?!"
