My broody boy

25. I'll be there

Resting on his side he watched as she slept beside him with a smile on her face. She always looked so peaceful sleeping, she always looked so perfect.

"Mmm..." she stretched out and he felt as her legs tangled with his and she let out a sigh of content before those gorgeous eyes fluttered open. "Morning..." she bit her bottom lip as she grinned up at him.

"Morning Pretty Girl," he took his finger to trace across her cheek. "You sleep well?"

"Didn't really sleep much," she smirked and he grinned as his finger hooked around her chin and gave her a sweet kiss. "I've missed you..." she whispered as his head rested against hers. "And all of this just seems...perfect...like some movie..." she giggled a bit. "Where the music starts to fade in and everyone just ends it with a smile and happiness," she traced her finger over his lips and hated when it dropped into a frown. "But it's not, is it?"

"Eve..." he sunk down beside her and gave her a sweet kiss. "I love you so much, you know that don't you?"

"Yeah I do..." she curled into him and kissed his chest and closed her eyes. So wanting just to stay in the moment with him forever. Just wanting to lay in his and never leave his bed.

"You have to go back..." he whispered low and felt as her body tensed against him. "I'm sorry..." he kissed the top of her head and squeezed her tight. "But you have too."

"I don't want to..." she bit her bottom lip as pressure built in her eyes. "Why can't I just stay here with you?" she clung on to him tight afraid to let go. "I could make you happy Jaxx... I could make you feel good again..." her finger traced on his chest and he hated when the hot liquid slipped from her eye onto his skin.

"Do you have any portion of a clue on how happy you make me?" he cupped her cheek to bring her head up to look at him. "My entire world just seems better when I know you're going to be in it."

"Then why are you making me leave?" her bottom lip trembled and he brought her down for a kiss that she felt tingle through her whole body. Turning her on her back his body slid on top of her as he went to deepen the kiss. His hand sliding down her naked body to curl her leg around him and she moaned.

"I love you..." he pulled back to pant out and pulled in a deep breath. "So much baby girl and if I had it my way you'd never leave. However that can't happen. Sophie needs you...Ethan needs you..."

"Jaxx..."

"I know you're mad at him, I get it. But he is your brother and no matter how mad you may be, you love him," he pointed out and she remained quiet. Jaxx is able to see all the million things running through her head. "And Sophie is pregnant...she needs you there to help her and can you imagine how hard it will be for her to deal with Ethan if you just left?"

"But I need you..." her voice cracked and tears filled in her eyes.

"Baby girl..." he pulled in a breath to calm himself, hating what she was going through. "Don't cry...please don't cry..."

"It's not fair Jaxx...I can't handle not seeing you anymore, well... it's killing me..." she sniffled as the tears started to fall. "And what am I supposed to do? You say I need to go back for them...they need me, but I need you. I need you so much Broody..." she swallowed the large lump and his eyes closed.

"I'm here..." he whispered, his fingers getting lost in her hair. "I'm always going to be here whenever you need me."

"It's not enough Jaxx," her temper flared a bit and she felt as his hand started to tremble on her side.

"Eve..."

"No!" she snapped and the anger started to build more. "Why does everyone get what they are wanting but me? Why do I have to be ok with this? I'm not ok with this!"
