Chapter 18

"Honey, Wake up... We're here." Jimmy said as he shook me awake. I sat up and looked around.

"Where are we?" I asked. He smirked, "You'll see." He hopped off the car and walked to my side. He helped me out and looked around, examining our surroundings. I looked around and saw nothing but trees.

"Jimmy, are we lost?" I asked as he walked to the back to get our bags. He shook his head, "Nope."

I turned around and saw that a house was just there.

"Damn. Who owns this?" I asked. "Us." He smiled as he lead me to the front door. He got the keys from his pocket and unlocked it.

He walked in, leaving me, standing there.

All of a sudden, all the lights switched on. I was surprised. It was nice. When I say nice, it was legit nice. So modern, so neat. Just legit.

"Are you going to stand there or are you going to come in." Jimmy laughed. I looked at him and stepped inside. I closed the front door and followed Jimmy to the... Kitchen. Holy crap.", this is a nice kitchen.

"Is this yours?" I asked. He smiled, "Yea." He answered as he walked up to me.

"So you bought a big ass house for yourself?" I asked while hiding a smile.

"Well not really for myself. Gloria, Nick,Ali,Tracy.. Us." He stated.

"Us?"

"Yea..." He smiled. I nodded. He kissed my nose before leading me outside to the backyard.

Damn it was big. It had a pool, guest cottages. I can throw a Project X party here!

"Jim, this is beautiful." I said without taking my eyes off the Stary night sky. I felt him wrap his arms around me, "Not as beautiful as you."

"Remind me to give you fifty bucks." I smirked, he chuckled. "Okay." He smiled. "Can you make it a hundred?" He asked, "No. But I can give you fifty more tomorrow...I sound like a whore." I laughed.

" I love you." Jimmy said as he turned me around to face him. I smiled at him before he leaned down to place a kiss on my lips.

"I love you too." I replied. Jimmy looked at me but a knock coming from the front door stopped the intimate moment. Jimmy and I walked up to the front door and opened it to see Maverick standing there.

"Mav!" I exclaimed as I went to him and gave him a hug. He flinched.

"What's wrong?" I asked. He shook his head and walked to the couch.

"They know." He whispered.

"Who knows what?" I asked, I could see the tears forming in his eyes.

"Mav, What's wrong?" I asked again. He just shook his head.

"Its all my fault. Im so sorry. " he choked out.

"Mav, Whatever it is, Im sure its not your fault. Its okay." I said as I gave him a hug.

"No. No its not, Sarah." He said, "It was my job to keep you safe, and i failed." He said. I looked at Jimmy. He just shrugged.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Maverick just stared at me.

"Hey Jim, where can I bunk in?" He asked Jimmy. Obviously he was avoiding the question. What a dumb way to.

"No. What do you mean by that, Mav." I said sternly.

"You already know! Someone wants you dead!" He snapped. I was taken back by his sudden outburst. But focused.

"Who wants me dead?" I asked. His lips quivered.

"Your father! Your 'daddy' wants you dead!" He shouted. My eyes went wide.

"M-My Dad's still alive?" I asked softly. He nodded. "And he wants you dead."

"I'll go to bed." He announced.

"First door on the left." Jimmy told him. He nodded, grabbed his bag, and ascended the stairs.

The moment I heard the door close. I looked at Jimmy.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I shrugged, "I-I dont know." I answered. He sighed and pulled me close. "I wanna go to bed." I told him. He kissed my head and nodded.
