Game on [Hit the floor] {The wake up call: Book 3}

This ends NOW!

Gideon:

I had never seen my partner so angry in his life. I don't think I ever saw him angry at all...

When we were having our problems, he was hurt and frustrated- but never angry. When he found out that Lucas wanted him only for sex, he was pained and felt betrayed- but, then again, not angry. When the bitch of Jelena compared him to his sorry excuse of a father, he just acted indifferent- but, once more, not angry. When Oscar betrayed him, and didn't care of what would happen to him as long as his ass got saved, Jude was disappointed as hell- but not angry, at all.

I still couldn't understand why anyone would try to hurt Jude. He was the kindest person I know, he was selfless and has a heart of gold. He gave me friends, a team that supports me and a home to come to- a home I want to come to at the end of the day. He stood by me when I acted like an idiot, during the moments I lose control of my rage, when I close off. He loves me. He loves Gideon, not Zero. He loves all parts of me, even the broken ones.

So, when he came home distraught and eyes flashing with contained anger, as if he was about to crush someone's skull with his bare hands... let's just say it was puzzling, to say the least.

"They fucking did it! I am gonna call the cavalry, consecuencias be damned! They will be ruined for eternity, I'll make sure of it" he swore, furiously.

It took a while, and three rounds of sex, to calm him down and stop him from doing something very stupid... or at least, I think it was stupid. He had never mentioned a cavalry before, but whoever that person is... it must be dangerous. We've been in war for the ownership of The Devils for far too long, if he had a way to defeat them he would have used it. But he didn't. Which means that whoever is the cavalry isn't only dangerous, but will want something in return... something that Jude was afaid to pay for.

"Talk to me, Jude" I broke the silence that fell, after we finished fucking "What's going on?"

"Jelena and Terrence took advantage of our predicament with Raquel's impeding death, and used it to sneak behind our backs" he replied.

"What did they do?!" I growled.

I couldn't believe it! I couldn't believe how evil they were. They were taking advantage of the news of someone's death to play us. Of Raquel's death! Raquel who hasn't done anything, but be a good friend to them. Jelena considers her, her only and best friend. Why would they use her like this?!

"They found out a way to free Oscar from prison" his words froze me, making my blood run cold "He'll make all the small share owners turn against us in fear. I can try to convince one or two, but that won't be enough. I even arrenged to have a friendly tennis match with one of them, would you like to come with me? That will show them an united front"

"I would love to" I answered, my heart warming up at his consideration. For him I was an equal, not someone he could use to make him look better or get something in exchange "Jude... this cavalry, who are they? Do you think they'll be able to turn the tables around?"

"Yes, I do" was his response "You see, before I knew what a horrible person Oscar was or came out of the closet, I was a young man who only wanted his father's approval. So, when he asked me to get close to a big businessman's daughter I did. He wanted desperately for me to date her, maybe even marry her... so, I did. Her father also wanted her to have a relationship, she is very mature and didn't use to have a lot of friends her age- but older people adore her, that made her the great businesswoman she is now. She wasn't interested in dating, I wasn't ready to come out, so we both lied to our parents and began 'dating'. It got out of control, when we went to college our parents bought us an apartment to live together and were waiting for me to drop on one knee and ask the big question. The whole media was! When college ended, we just went our separete ways: she traveled to New York to achieve her dream of being the Media Queen, and I flew to Ohio and started as a junior agent. The rest of my story you know it, her's... she got everything she aspired"

"That's why when people asked you if you were gay, you said that you are bi. You didn't want to make her look bad" I thought out loud, touched at such a realization "You really care about her"

"I do, she is like the little sister I never had. Rowena was the first person I came out to, and she accepted me wholeheartedly" he told me "She never made me feel as if I wrong, or tried to convince me that I was confused"

"She seems to be a great person, why didn't you call her before?" I questioned him, confused.

"Because then I knew that she woulnd't be just happy with putting Oscar back on prison, she would want to destroy him completely. And even though he is the Devil, he is still my father" he answered me "But that doesn't matter now, we have Miguel to take care of now. I won't let him grow up thinking that his grandfather is a man he should look up to"

"So, you'll contact her?" I asked.

"I will. In the meanwhile, we'll try to win some time by going to that friendly tennis match" he told me "I hope you are good at tennis"
