Montrose Academy

Chapter Nineteen

"And any angel can be naughty for the right bad boy."  

Third Person Point of View:

"Hey, beautiful." Justin greeted.

It would have made Allie blush, but it only reminded her of her encounter with Ethan at the gym. She had been practicing her boxing when Ethan had popped up from behind her punching bag and greeted her the same way as Justin did now.

"You said you needed help. Probably in Mrs.Harrison's class right?"

"Yeah, Kyle said that we had to write an essay and I forgot my notes back at my dorm."

It made sense. Justin's background wasn't covered in his drawings it was just a plain beige wall. Allie remembered when Justin had hauled her to the rooftop just in time to watch the meteor shower and told her that he was going to visit Stratford for his father's birthday.

"How was your dad's birthday?" She asked thoughtfully.

Justin smiled. He was happy that she remembered why he had visited home and it made his stomach clench.

"It was nice. He's not that excited about being forty but I'm sure he can live with it."

She gave him a smile and he noticed how white and perfectly straight her teeth were.

"Right, well I took some notes in class about the topic. I finished mine last night with my notes." Allie told him as she flipped through her notebook trying to find the page holding her notes.

"Here we go. Do you want to write this down?"

Justin was too busy staring at the length of her neck and the depth of her collar bones. He bit down on his bottom lip before releasing it.

"Justin."

"Oh yeah. Sorry, I was reading an e-mail." He lied.

"I asked if you wanted to write this down. The notes."

"Uh yeah that'd be a good idea." He said opening a blank document on his laptop.

Allie began reciting her notes to Justin. She sometimes had to repeat herself since he couldn't type as fast as she was talking or he got distracted when he looked at her and saw that her eyelashes fanned across her cheeks.

"That's all I wrote down but I think you should be fine with what I gave you." Allie told him closing her notebook and placing it beside her.

"Thanks. I owe you."Justin smiled at her.

A knock came from Justin's door and a second later his little brother came in with blue pajamas that had racecars printed on them.

"What's up munchkin?" Justin asked him, his eyes on Jaxon.

Allie furrowed her eyebrows at what was happening.

She heard little feet padding on the floor and then she saw a blonde little boy crawl on the bed and take refuge against Justin, while Justin wrapped an arm around the little boy protectively and securely.

"Did you have a bad dream, buddy?" Justin asked into his hair.

Jaxon mumbled a small yes.

Allie was watching Justin interact with his little sibling and the sight made her heart swell.

"You're alright now. Those monsters won't get past your big brother. Remember, I have super powers."

Jaxon nodded his head.

Remembering that he was still Skype with Allie, he looked at her and saw that she was leaning forward to see if Jaxon was in fact okay.

"Sorry. He sometimes have nightmares." Justin explained to her and she nodded.
