My Brothers Ally Is My Mate?

Chapter 22

Taylor's POV

Jace took us to s small restaurant Italian restaurant downtown for some food. It wasn't posh or anything. It was just a small restaurant.

When we went in, a waiter sat us at a small table next to a window. He handed us our menus and left. Me and Jace started talking about random things while looking over the menus.

"hi I'm Milly and I'll be your server today" The waitress was probably in her early-twenties, and had fake blonde hair. Her top was too tight and showed way too much cleavage, and her skirt barely covered anything. You could tell that as soon as she saw Jace she was eye-raping him, and honestly, I felt like ripping her head off. I don't know what it was, but I'm sure it wasn't jealousy. It was probably because she was taking time to get out orders. Yeah that's what it was.

"so what can I get you" she said in what was supposed to be a seductive voice.

"we'll both have the spaghetti" Jace said pointing between me and him. The woman's head snapped towards me as if she was just noticing me for the first time, and she gave me a dark look. I just smirked at her and watched her leave to order the food.

"what's the smirk for?"Jace asked

"nothing" I said shrugging. He smirked back at me, so I'm guessing he knew why I was smirking at the waitress. I looked behind Jace and saw a group of plastic barbies talking about something. I grinned and picked up a straw and put a tiny paper ball inside.

I brought the straw up to my mouth and blew into it, sending the ball flying to the barbies table. The spit ball landed right next to one of the girls

"damn" I muttere under my breath and Jace turned around to see what I was going on about. When the next spit ball came out, it landed right on the back of the girls neck.

"oh yeah that's what I'm talking about" and the people behind me looked at me strangely. I just gave them an innocent smile and turned back around.

"hey you want an arm wrestle" I said to Jace and he looked at me with a questioning look on his face.

"what" I shrugged. "I don't like waiting and the foods gonna take ages" he shrugged and put his elbow onto the table

Half an hour later, we went through two arm-wrestles, three thumb-wars, three games of rock, paper scissors and we were still waiting for our food.

"that's it" Jace said standing up with such force that he almost knocked his chair over, and everyone turned to stare at us.

"excuse me sir but is there a problem?" a waiter asked coming up to us.

"damn right there is" he shouted and most of the people flinched even though it wasn't directed at them. "we have been waiting here for over half an hour for our food and we haven't gotten it yet."

"I'm sorry sir but we'll try to get your food as soon as possible." the waiter said cowering back.

"forget it I'm outta here" he stormed off out of the restaurant and I followed after him.

"will you keep up?" Jace shouted over his shoulder.

"what the hell you shouting at me for" I said walking next to him.

"just carry on walking" I looked at him with my eyebrows raised and went to stand infront of him, stopping him from walking any further.

"look I know you're pissed off because you didn't get your food, but that doesn't mean you can go and take it out on anyone."

"Taylor move" he said in a low voice but I refused to back down.

"no I won't. Until you calm down and stop acting like such an ass then I'll move"

"Taylor get the hell outta my way. NOW!" I could see him slightly shaking but didn't pay any attention to it. If he wants a tantrum, let him have one. I just stood infront of him with my arms crossed.

"Taylor I swear if you don't move you're gonna get hurt"

"oh yeah how you gonna do that? I can take as much pain as the boys so I don't think you can-" I was cut off when Jace slammed into me sending me flying backwards into a wall. Jace walked up to me and stopped infront of me.

His eyes weren't their usual blue color and were a pitch black instead. I was suddenly really scared, not because of Jace, but because that was the color my dads eyes went everytime he came near me.I gulped audibly and my breathing quickened when he raised a hand.

I cringed back and shut my eyes tight.

I could feel Jace traveling his fingers down my face and i shrunk back even more, remembering the times my dad used to do that.

"Taylor" Jace called softly.

"Taylor look at me" but i still refused to open my eyes.

"Taylor just look at me goddammit" he asked more forcefully and I opened my eyes in surprise and shock.

"Taylor are you alright?" he asked softly. I guess he wasn't used to me being so vulnerable. All I could do was nod.

"Taylor I'm sorry about what just happened but it's really hard for me to control things. I really want to tell you about it, and I will, but just not yet." I felt a little more like myself, so I looked him in the eye and said

"look Jace it's ok. I just got scared because it triggered an old memory so don't worry about it." and it was true. He didn't have to worry about it because it did trigger an old memory.

Jace searched my face for something before leaning forward and pressing his lips to mine, setting fireworks off throughout my whole body. I was shocked at first but kissed him back. My hands found their way into his hair and I tangled my fingers into it, tugging it a little which got Jace to moan.

He bit down lightly on my bottom lip, causing me to gasp, which he took as a chance and slipped his to tongue into my mouth, deepening the kiss. Our tongues fought for dominance and Jace won. I pulled back slightly to breathe and Jace leaned his forehead against mine, both of us breathing heavily.

"come on let's go home" he said pulling away, and I couldn't help feel disappointed that he didn't kiss me again. I followed after him and we drove home at a normal speed, both of us deep into our thoughts.

When we got home, I parked Up and went into the house first. As soon as the front door opened, I was hit with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. I stiffened, remembering the smell and Jace ran into the back of me.

"what's wrong" he asked lightly but I couldn't answer.

He couldn't be here. Last time I was with him he nearly killed me, but this time I knew my brothers wouldn't be able to help me. They were away on business.

He stepped out of the kitchen and came and stood a couple of feet infront of me. I tried to keep my face blank but I was slightly shaking. Jace put his hand on the small of my back and it seemed to have a calming effect on me.

"hello Taylor" he said smirking at me.

"hello father"
