Ring, Rage and Jax.

Chapter 29- The one with the secret venue.

[ C A R A'S POV ]

"Princessa, Join us. It will be loads of fun." Kalyuua pleads. I groan as I follow to my bed. They've been on the phone with me for a few minutes. "Its very exclusive. You'll be thanking us when you get there. Trust us." Sullivan says with a finality. Like he had made his mind up. "Fine. Tell me where to meet you up." I say in a whisper. They laugh. I feel a smile make it's way. It had only been a short time since I've known them but somehow I was already attached to them. "Wait. Is there a fight? Are any of you fighting?" I ask and I hear the phone being passed around. "Not today, Cara. They are just inviting all the fighters from D'Horns." Falcon says. I nod my head understanding. Ah shit. I'm on a call. They can't see me. "Okay." I say.

"Okay you'll come?" Sullivan asks and I agree. They agree to pick me up from my house. They immediately cut the call. But I never told them where I had stayed. I shake the questions off and decide to go get dressed. "Will?" I call and there is no answer. He's probably busy playing on the console. I pick out a tank top with black jeans. My tank top showing a little cleavage and my jeans making me look curvy. I comb out my hair and let it cascade through my shoulders. "Will?" I call out again and check his room. Its empty. I apply a thin line of eyeliner and mascara. I decide to top it off with a little lipstick. Nothing too dark.

"Will? Stop playing with me." I say in a serious tone. I quickly run downstairs. I am greeted by many familiar faces. I'm sure I looked shocked. "Will let us in Princessa." Kalyuua says with a laugh. I glare at Will. Why would you do that? You don't even know these guys. I scold him through my eyes and hope he gets the message. He gulps sheepishly. He got the message. I see Reggie and Nancy seated opposite the guys. Studying them.

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask and they shrug. "Thought we'd hangout. Didn't know we had to book an appointment with you." Reggie says teasingly. I roll my eyes. Aiden was seated beside them. I decide to ignore him. He seems pissed. His eyes haven't looked in my direction. "Let's go then?" I ask and all of the men stand up. I usher Kaluuya, Sullivan and Falcon out of the door. Aiden following behind me. Right behind me. I could feel him behind me. I was trying really hard not to shudder at our close proximity.

Reggie tugs on Aiden and my hand. His face stern. "She never asked me about this and I don't really think it's a great idea but you better look out for her. You hear me?" Reggie says with a serious face. "I am not a child. I can handle myself." I say scoffing trying to free my arm. "I wasn't planning to let her off my sight. I don't understand why they wanted her to tag along. It's not exactly safe to bring her there." Aiden says. His eyes calm but a little rage still burned inside of them. His body seemed relaxed but I knew something was bothering him. "Fine. I'll make sure to stick by the guys throughout. Don't worry. I'm sure they'll be my personal bodyguards." I say and Nancy nods. Like she knew they wouldn't let me off easy. She does remember the whole me getting drunk with them incident anyways. "She will be fine, Reggie." Nancy says assuring him. Holding his arm. He calms down instantly. Some sort of magic powers she held against him. Nancy throws a wink at me. 'Love you' I mouth to nancy and she throws me back a kiss.

All of us head to the ride. Aiden in his own world. Completely far away. I decide to keep my mouth shut and let him be.

Once we reach the destination I feel a strong urge to pull Aiden to the side and talk to him. Throughout the ride, Aiden seemed so far like he hadn't been with the rest of them. The guys talked and laughed making her feel at home but Aiden was so bothered by something. It didn't feel right. Everyone gets off the car but Aiden doesn't seem to have noticed that they had reached. I take this as the opportunity to talk to him. I scoot closer to him. I slowly lower my hand to his thigh. This jolts him. "I'm so sorry." I say surprised by his reaction. His eyes take in the empty car. "We reached?" He asks softly. I nod. "Aiden-" I say softly. He turns to me. I chew on my lip.
