JINXX'S POV
I held Mariah to me as I carried her to my bunk. It was the only available bunk that didn't have a naked CC or another woman in it. trust me, a naked CC is something no one wants to see. I looked down at her as she let out soft little snores. I wondered what her story was. I knew she was homeless and if I had anything to do with it, she won't be going back to that life anytime soon. There was something about her, something amazing. My heart skipped a beat every time I saw her and i had an instant instinct to do whatever I could to protect her from the demons that haunt her head or anything else that may cause her harm. I was intrigued by her. i wanted to know more about the beauty that was currently laying on my chest.
Just then I saw something glistening in the pile of clothes that she wore on to the bus. It looked almost like the wallet I lost earlier yesterday. I had to check it out. I carefully got out of my bunk without waking her up. I walked over and picked up the dirty pair of skinny jeans and took the wallet out of the pocket. I opened the wallet and was shocked at what I found. My ID was in the same slot as it was yesterday and no money was missing. She stole my wallet? She doesn't seem like that type. But if she didn't steal it, then why was it in her pocket? There had to be an explanation. Mariah was innocent, I know I just met her, but I felt like I could trust her with anything, but why was it with her? So many thoughts ran through my head. If she did steal it, I knew the guys wouldn't let her stay here if she was a kleptomaniac.
Then again, she was homeless at the time. How else was she supposed to live and get food? I went back to my bumk and saw that she was sprawled out and I let out an involuntary aww sound at the way her face looked scrunched up. She looked so peaceful when you couldn't see the pain behind her eyes. I didn't want to believe she took the wallet, I couldn't believe her. She was an angel. She was my angel and she showed up here on my bus for a reason and I'll be damned is I let her go. If she did steal the wallet, it wasn't out of spite, it was because she needed it. I climbed back into my bunk, the wallet still in my hand. I looked at the sleeping beauty beside me and knew that I was falling for her, and I was falling hard, and fast. I wrapped my arms around her and fell into a deep sleep with dreams of the girl that was in my arms.
MARIAH'S POV (THE NEXT MORNING)
I woke up the next morning still laying on Jinxx's chest. I was so comfortable and I didn't want to move, but I knew I had to. I would probably be leaving today to. I've already intruded enough and I didn't want to overstay my welcome. I thought about leaving them a note telling them I went back "home" but thought I should say it face to face. I carefully went to the bottom of the bed so I could jump down without climbing over Jinxx. He looked so adorable sleeping. My heart swelled every time I saw him, even though I've only seen him like twice. His voice made my heart skip a beat and the skin to skin contact made me feel more safe then I've ever felt before.
I went to get the wallet that was in my jeans to see if the guys could help me find who it belonged to since I couldn't look at the picture before I ran. I looked but found that the wallet was missing. What if one of the guy's found it, oh no, they're going to think I stole it. Crap! They're never going to trust me again after this. Shit! What if Jinxx found it? He probably hates me now?
"What are you looking for?" I heard a voice behind me say. I swallowed and looked behind me. It was Jinxx and guess what he had in his pocket, the missing wallet. Fuck!
"Look Jinxx, it's not what it looks like ok? I promise I didn't take anything."
"Then why was it in your pocket?" He asked kind of... angrily? Why was he so angry? Soon, the rest of the guys, all except Andy woke up and were standing in front of me to. Oh God, they all thought I was a bad person now and nothing I could say would convince them otherwise. I didn't know what to do, I felt cornered and kind of scared at the same time. So much for the safe feeling, I internally sighed.
"Please do explain." Jinxx said annoyed.
"I-I" but was cut off by Jinxx yelling "You what! What else did you steal!? Guys, go check your wallets, make sure nothing's missing?"
How did all of them turn on me that quick, they didn't even give me time to explain. I looked at Jinxx as the look of dissapintment crossed his face.
"Jinxx, I didn't take it." I said as a single tear left my eye followed by a million more as my walls broke and a broken sob left my throat. "I didn't take it! He did. I wanted to find the owner, but I couldn't look at it before I ran from him. Ask Andy, when he found me, that's what I was running from, I even told him about the wallet! Please believe me! Please Jinxx, Please don't hate me, please don't leave me!"
"I'm sorry, ok, I just got carried away, oh and by the way the wallet's mine, that's why i was so upset." He said as he took me in his arms. "I'm sorry for assuming things." He said as I cried on him, soaking the white shirt he had on. I don't know why I felt like I needed him, but I did, and i hated the fact that I would have to leave him behind soon, and I would probably never see him again.
"I'll never leave you." I heard hm whisper in my ear as I continued to cry my heart out.
