How Long Will I Love You.

Chapter Sixteen.

"Loyalty is everything in the game..."

---------------------------

"So Christmas is coming up" I told the guys as we were all sitting around in the back garden, discussing what happened a few hours ago. I text everyone once we got back, telling them all to get home. "Don't change the subject" Justin replied angrily, I turned my head to see him glaring at nothing, his jaw clenching "Excuse me?" I asked, not fond of his tone of voice "Quit changing the subject, explain what happened earlier" I looked around, everyone's eyes on Justin and I. The tension in the air around us. I looked at Matt and Johnny, who both shrugged their shoulders. I rolled my eyes and stood up "Joe came round and was being an asshole so we took him to the warehouse. Matt practically killed him with his bare fists and I shot him just in case. End of story. How many times do you need to be told?" I told them all before stomping away. Already I could hear someone following me, and when I turned around I saw Justin who was clearly still pissed.

"What?" "Why didn't you wait?" He asked, sitting beside me on the sofa "I called you multiple times and you didn't pick up. That's not my fault. The job didn't need more than two people, now stop being a little bitch about it" I told him, standing up once again to walk away from him. He grabbed my arm and spun me around to face him. His face almost touching mine "Is this how it's going to be? You going off on your own to deal with things your way, on your terms?" I snatched my arm away from his grip before pushing him away "If none of you answer your fucking phones. Then yes, that's how it's going to be" Justin took a step forward so we were close once again "I took River swimming, they had this babies thing on at the pool. So me, Ryan and Chaz went. That is why we didn't answer our phones"

The anger settle down a little as I smiled up at Justin, imagining them three with River, surrounded by women and their children "Well shit" I laughed, walking back outside to join the others nervously waiting for us to finish arguing "Why did you laugh?" Justin asked, to which I smiled "One, you three, guys who kill people for a living, at a pool with a load of women and their kids. Two, you think you have the right to get angry over me not telling you about a job when you went off doing mommy daddy things with our son, and not even bothering to tell me" I said, shoving Justin a little before getting off by Chaz coming up to us, and putting a hand on our shoulders "Sorry, that was my idea. Can't resist a women in a bikini" I rolled my eyes as he walked indoors, before turning my face back to Justin "Three, you're a hypocritical shit head" I finished, to which he smiled and slung an arm over my shoulder "I love your cute nicknames for me" I pushed him away whilst he laughed as we both sat back down by the others.

"Told you" "Told them what?" I asked Jason who had spoken "That you'd come out all smiles and loved up" "He's still an asshole" I told them "She's still a stubborn little shit" Justin replied, to which everyone laughed.

"So what was you saying about Christmas?" Dom asked "Oh yeah. I want to go back to England. All of us, for Christmas" Everyone seemed to sit up a little straighter "All of us?" Derek asked, who made an appearance as well "Yes all of us. That includes you" I told him, to which he smiled "Really?" I nodded "Wouldn't of mentioned it when you was around otherwise" I looked at Johnny and smiled "What do you want?" "You still have the lake house?" I asked, looking back at Johnny "Yeah" "I'll book everyone's flights tomorrow" I told them all, getting a little excited the more I thought about it.

"So how comes you want to go to England for Christmas?" Justin asked as we layed in bed later that night "It feels more like Christmas, usually there's snow, it's cold and I don't know..I guess I liked Christmas there more. And I'll have everyone I love with me this year" "Any ideas what you want from Santa?" He asked. We both turned on our sides to face each other, snuggled under the sheets "I have everything I want" I replied, to which he smiled "Me too"
