My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 18

As morning rolled around I changed into a black and white striped dress. Then I headed down stairs for a quick breakfast. On my way to school, I thought over my ways I could tell Jax that Bobby knew about us. As I pulled into the car park Jackson was then walking through the front gate.

I ran over to him grabbing his arms "good morning honey bunny."

He laughed at me grabbing my hand gently squeezing. I placed our entwined hands on his chest reaching on my toes to kiss his lips. He instantly pulled away "what are you doing, word will get back to Bobby."

I shook my head "it doesn't matter, he knows about us."

Jackson was surprised "how we were so careful, he can't have seen us."

I nodded against his chest "we were good, I caught him with Danielle making out and then everything came out."

Jackson quickly kissed my lips again "now I can kiss you whenever I want."

I nodded my head "yeah you can."

Just as I was about to kiss him again, someone cleared their throat. I turned to face him "I'm shocked really, you two together...kissing."

Jackson laughed nervously "yeah, sorry man I should have told you."

Bobby shook his head "just do right by her."

Jackson nodded vigorously at Bobby "of course, wouldn't treat her any other way."

It wasn't long until all of the busybodies and a very jealous looking Jamie came over to us. Jamie harshly said, "so that's it, I don't get a chance?"

I shook my head saddened "you had a chance. You withheld the truth from me and you never fought for me. You just gave up and gave me space."

"And what my cousin fought for you, be real Matilda. Jackson just wants into your pants like half the school wants to do. If he really wanted you then he would never have left in the first place. Did he tell you he had an opportunity to stay and he passed it down?"

I looked back to Jackson before speaking to Jamie "Jackson may want to be in my pants but let me tell you the truth. Jackson got in my pants and is still hanging around. Thanks for letting me know that you only wanted in my pants."

I left it there and headed into the building. Jackson followed after me, he kept me insight but gave me the space I needed. Danielle side hugged me "well his an ass!"

I laughed "which one?"

Danielle looked over to Jackson "both but Jamie more so than Jackson."

I pulled Danny along the hall with me "did you know that Jax had the chance to stay? I assume it's when his dad sent him away for boarding school?"

Danielle shook her head "no but he may have a reason why he left. You won't know until you talk to him."

"I know, I'm staying over there tonight and maybe tomorrow."

The remained of the day flew by quickly. When I arrived home Bobby was sitting on the couch. His head thrown back against the headrest of the chair. I cleared my throat "are you angry at me?"

Bobby questioned "what part. You sleeping with my best friend, breaking Jamie's heart or putting a bigger rift between those two knuckleheads."

I shrugged my shoulders "that's a yes then."

He loudly huffed "it's not about them. Though. They aren't the reason I'm angry at you. You were meant to be the straight and narrow on, the cool-headed one who doesn't sleep around."

I raised my hands to my hips glaring at him "sleeping around, I am not sleeping around if anyone that is your brother."

I then stormed upstairs and packed a bag for tonight as well as a few extra changes of clothes. As I walked back downstairs Bobby was nowhere in sight. I quickly made my way to the car and drove to Jackson's. As I knocked on the door he took a few moments to answer.

He smiled warmly at me "I didn't think you would come about after Jamie today."

I nodded "yeah, I know I thought about it but we do need to talk and what a better way than staying together."

Jax laughed "come sit down and I will explain it all." Jax and I moved over to the couch sitting opposite each other. He sipped his sweaty palms on his jeans. He continued to speak "you know dad wanted to send me away because of my behaviour after mum died. Anyway, my aunt didn't agree. She offered for me to live with her and Jamie until the end of school. That made dad angry but he gave me the choice. That night I thought it over all night. It was the night before I left. I stayed at your place and I barely slept that night. You were in and out that night and I barely got to see you. I thought of everything I would miss but then I thought of all of the ways I could have messed you up if given the opportunity. Bobby didn't need that, you didn't need that. I decided to be sent away and I worked hard. Dad wasn't the one who decided I should come back. I decided it was time, it felt right."

As he stopped I threw myself into his arms kissing him "thank you for being you."

Jackson laughed "you're thanking me after all of this. I also need to say that I never just wanted to get in your pants. I'm a guy, of course, I wanted in your pants but I also wanted more than that."

I laughed at him "I don't know if I should be complimented or insulted!"

Jackson mumbled between kisses "I don't care right now I just want your lips on mine and then I want us to eat and then I want you in my bed so I can..."
