Calista

I decided today that I was was going to hang out downstairs instead of being secluded in my room doing nothing. Phoenix was still in my bed sleeping looking like an adorable little bean but I'm sure he'll join me when he wakes up.

Happily skipping downstairs, my mood changed once I had made it to the last step, as I had heard Aces booming voice in the kitchen.

Slowly I pushed the door open and was instantly greeted by silence and a warm smile coming from Bear. "Hi love, how'd you sleep" with a small wave I whispered a 'good' and gave him a smile.

"Oh so the bitch does talk" Ace mocked making me look in his direction after hardening my expression.

He sent me a menacing smirk and slowly stalked towards me. I didn't miss Bear standing up behind me. Willing to fight Ace if he needed to.

Instead of hitting me like I suspected he leaned in and went for my lips with his crusty ass ones.

I turned my head at the last second so instead his lips met my cheek. The kiss was wet and slobbery and I could feel his teeth.

I shivered in disgust which he took the wrong way and gave him a cold glare, harshly wiping the spit off of my cheek.

Walking to the counter I grabbed an apple and tried to walk out of the kitchen when Ace grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his chest.

I thrashed around trying to get loose when he slapped my cheek, his ring making contact with my lip and splitting it open.

I heard a chair scoot back and footsteps approaching us. "Stand down, Montez" Ace growled to Bear not losing eye contact with me. Instantly Bear stopped his actions and exited the kitchen.

"Next time I won't miss" his eyes held a mischievous glint and I knew he meant more than just a kiss and I shuddered.

He finally let me go when Phoenix walked in and smirked at me. I turned around ready to drag Phoenix upstairs with me when I felt a sting on my butt.

I saw Phoenix tense and his jaw clench when he looked at a not so innocent Ace who had just slapped my ass.

"Don't do that again Ace, she's not yours" he gritted out.

"As I recall she's not yours either. And you have no place to tell me what to do. She enjoyed it right Calista?"

He gave me a taunting smile and I subconsciously took a step closer to Phoenix.

He looked me in the eyes before he responded to Ace.

"As a matter of fact she is and if you touch her again, so help me god, I will not hesitate to kill you" the promise in his voice made the threat all the more scary.

Ace stalked towards us and Phoenix pushed me behind him, "Remember who you're talking to son, I can make you life a whole lot worse and we wouldn't want that, especially not your little girly" he said making eye contact with me.

And with that he left

Phoenix instantly relaxed and grabbed my hand, pulling me upstairs with him. I kept my head down the whole time so that he wouldn't see my lip, I'm surprised he hadn't seen it before but I didn't really make it that noticeable.

Once we made it to his room I tried to make a run to the bathroom before he saw my lip but he had other intentions.

"Look at me Calista, show me your lip"

He didn't call me ma—
He noticed the lip.

"Of course I noticed the lip" he furrowed his eyebrows in a thoughtful manner making me tilt my head, confused.

"Cute" he murmured, giving me a smile. Until his eyes caught my lip.

He instantly let go of me as his breath became ragged and his eyes became hard. It took everything inside of him to control the anger he was feeling.

He turned around and pulled his hair almost to the point of it ripping out. I went behind him and hugged his waist as hard as I could, smushing my face into his back.

He instantly tensed but then slowly relaxed and a shaky breath escaped his mouth. "He hurt you Calista." Pain lacing his voice.

"I know, it's ok Phoenix. I'm ok. Well get out of here eventually and everything will be fine."

"Promise?" he sounded like a child.

"I promise"

Me and Phoenix we're currently in his room watching a movie, my head was in his lap while his hand was running through my hair; honestly putting me on the verge of sleep.

"Hey mama?"

"Hmm"

"You know what I said earlier?"

"Sure"

"About you being mine?" Instantly my heart started fluttering.

"Yea.." I whispered

"I meant it"

"Ok"

He lifted me off of his lap and looked me in the eyes with a mix of surprise and excitement in his.

"Seriously you're ok with that? With being mine??"

I nodded my head slowly and laughed when I saw his eyes light up as he jumped out of the bed, doing his best not to squeal.

Finally after calming himself down he sat back down on the bed and grabbed me, putting me back on his lap, squeezing the shit out of me and placing a quick kiss to my neck.

That one spot felt like it was on fire and I had to bite my lip not to make a noise.

"Don't do that" Phoenix suddenly said startling me as I didn't know he was looking at me. I jumped back a little, a chuckle coming from Phoenix's mouth.

"Sorry" I whispered looking down

"Don't day sorry, you didn't do anything wrong. But if you do it again I may do something wrong." He said grabbing my chin to look into his eyes

I just blushed and pushed my head into his chest. Snuggling against his warmth and eventually falling asleep in his arms.

I think it's safe to say that we're friends now..
