The HeartBreaker

Chapter 6: Always

Jake

I drove home with a huge grin on my face, nobody has ever made me smile like this before. She was different, special even, I just didn't want her to get hurt because of what I do.

I would die if anything happened to her or I would murder the bastard who even looked at her the wrong way. I didn't mean to get angry last night when I was talking about my mother but France knows how to get under my skin without even being here.

My phone rang and I groaned, I looked at the caller ID: Sergio.

"Yes." I said into the phone.

"Sir, the warehouse alarm is going off, do you want me to check it out or should you?" Sergio said.

"I will, thanks Sergio." I said and ended the call.

I made a U-Turn and drove towards the warehouse. I made it under twenty minutes and when I pulled up, there was a green mustang in the parking space and the closer I got to the door of the warehouse, it looked like the lock was broken and I knew who it was.

I walked in the warehouse and to my office where there was a light on. I closed the door behind me and sat in my chair.

"Hello Franco." I said, my tone laced with anger. He looked at me, and walked away from the couch and sat on the edge of my desk and I glared at him and he stood up.

"What? No warm welcoming?" He asked and I scoffed.

"Never."

"Ahh, I see you're still mad about your whore of a mother, she was a good fuck and a even better kill." I stood up and slammed my hands on my desk and lunged for him and managed to punch him square in the face, he recovered quickly and uppercut me and I fell against the wall.

He then threw punches left and right at me and I managed the block the last blow and kneed him in the balls and he groaned in pain and I grabbed my gun from underneath my desk and aimed it at him. I could feel the blood dripping from my nose and I could barely open my left eye and my knuckles were bleeding as well.

"Do it." He said and I went to conk the gun but the room filed with smoke and when it cleared he was gone and I chucked my gun at the wall.

"Fuck!" I said and shoved everything off of my desk.

I walked into the cafe, hoping Abigail wouldn't noticed my wounds but the minute I looked at her, her faced was filled with anger, hurt, and even a hint of fright. She hollered to Carol and asked her to take over her shift, she walked over to me and pulled me out of the cafe and to the side of the building.

"If you wanted to kiss me, all you had to do was ask, love." I said trying to divert her from asking what happened to me. She grabbed my hands and examined them, then she looked at my face and grabbed my face in the hands and turned my head back and forth, so she could examine as well.

"What happened to you?" She asked, a tad sad.

"Nothing, no need to worry about me, love." I said, trying to coax her but it failed. I groaned and told her to get in my car, so we could go back to my house and talk.

***

"Now, explain." She said, a little feisty.

"Oouu, feisty. I like it." I said and winked, she tried to hide her smile but failed.

"I got in a fight with my brother." I told her and immediately regretted that because I told her I had no siblings.

"Is it always going to be lies with you?" She yelled and I felt like an ass. She went to walk away but I grabbed her hand and pulled her to me, she tried to get free but I held her tighter.

"I can't tell you the truth but I did get into a fight. That part is true, you just have to believe me and trust me." I pulled her away from me and looked into her eyes.

"How can I trust you when all you do is lie?" She asked and I had no answer for her, I was stunned. She grabbed my hand and led me to the bathroom. I sat on my toiler while she gathered the supplies.

She started washing my hand and cleaning up the cuts and when she applied the peroxide, it stung a little bit but I was so entranced with what she was doing for me, I didn't let it faze me.

"You don't need any stitches, but next time be careful. Just keep applying some Neosporin." She said and I just stared at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Where did you learn to do this? Why did you do it for me?" I asked and she looked at the ground.

"My...father taught me. He was the best doctor, what's ironic is he saved everyone else but couldn't save hisself. I did it for you because I care." A tear fell and she wiped it away and I was stunned. I stood up and went over to the sink.

She cared about me?

No one has ever, since my mom.

"I gotta get back to work." She said and walked out of the bathroom and I ran after her and pulled her into me and smashed my lips onto hers and she responded and kissed me back. The kiss was long needed and passionate. She pulled away, to catch her breath.

She then walked out the door and I stood there. She looked like she regretted it, did she?

I ran outside just in time to see a cab speed away and I sighed. I grabbed my car keys and drove to her apartment, to wait for her to come home. I made a key, yes, but so I could always make sure she was okay and maybe one day, if she needed me, I would be there for her.

***
After almost an hour, I heard her door open and I stood up and rushed to her and pushed her against the door and she gasped.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack. I thought I was about to get kidnapped or raped." She said and covered her heart but I saw something flash over her eyes.

"I would never let anyone do that to you, ever." I said and she sighed.

"Why did you run out so quick? Am I a bad kisser?" I asked and she smiled.

"No, you're good, too good." She breathed out.

"Then what happened?" I asked and her face fell.

"When I told you that I cared about you, you didn't say anything but you went over to the sink. So when you kissed me, I was so confused. I haven't been kissed like that since..." she trailed off and her face fell again.

"I'm sorry, its just nobody has told me that they cared about me since my mom. What do you mean, who kissed you last and hurt you,love?" I said and memories of that night came flooding back. Her face fell at my last question, I grabbed her face and kissed her and she gave in.

I pulled away and rested my head on top of hers.

"I care about you too." I said and she smiled and tears fell from her face.

"Why are you crying?" I asked and she blushed.

"Lady problems, im emotional this time of month." I nodded.

"Need me to get you anything? Do anything?" I asked and she looked like she just saw an alien.

"What?" I asked.

"Nobody has cared that much to ask me about my well being and what I need especially when I had my period." She said and I brought her to me and hugged her.

"Stay with me." She said and I pulled away and looked at her.

"Please, stay here tonight and sleep with me, not in a sexual way either." She asked again and I grinned.

"Always." I said and little did she know, I would never leave, she is mine, she just didn't know it yet.
