The Jackass and His Flower - Completed (The Nash Brothers - Spin Off)

2. Jasmine - Fears

Jackson's softly spoken "She's gone" was enough to free me from hiding under the covers.
"What the hell, how am I supposed to face anyone now" I growled at him.
"With me, they all know now and that's a good thing surely" he offered, his hands opening as if to say, this was wonderful, but it wasn't, I was a hypocrite, and now everyone knew.

"Jack, this is my aunt's house, I shouldn't be in here with you, what will she think, I can't face her, oh god, I have to go" I rush out of the bed and grab my clothes, pulling them on as I search and refusing to look at him.
"Jasmine, please, lets talk about this, don't keep walking away" he argues and I glare at him.
"I can't! no not now, Jack, please leave me alone" I'm dressed and grabbing my bag I rush for the door.
"JAZZ!" Jackson shouts behind me, I can see him grabbing for his clothes and I run, I need to get away. I see him appear in the rear view mirror as i drive away, the frustration clear on his face.

My phone buzz's with a message and I see Anni's name, I pulled over to open the text hesitantly, what does she think of me, but its just a message to say Matt had cancelled our meeting this morning, I groaned, the meeting that I had forgotten about, slept through because of... him.

I pulled my thoughts up short, I couldn't lie, it wasn't all Jack's fault, it was mine too.  Last night when he had walked me out to my car, he had caught my arm when I stumbled and that was all it took, next minute I was in his arms and mine were holding him tight back, our mouths fused together in need.
"Damn it!" I screamed out, fighting my own bodies memories of being in Jacks arms.

My phone buzzed again, Jacks names crossing the screen and I swiped the message open, feeling a mix of fear and love as I read.
'Please let me know when you are home safe, so I can stop worrying. I'm sorry, but not sorry, I would tell everyone and claim you as mine, if you want me to, think about it, Jack x'
I felt a tear trickle down my cheek as I rested back in the seat, was it that simple for him, could I really believe he would give up all the girls, for me. I just couldn't do it. I opened my text messages and sent him my answer.
"I can't do this, us, please leave me alone" feeling my heart tear as I hit send.

For the next three months I did all I could to avoid him, ignoring him when we were together, which was more often than I wanted but with Anni now being with my cousins and Jack being their best friend, he always seemed to join in the group activities.
I know Anni knew it bothered me, but I shrugged it off, I didn't want to add to her worries, but slowly I realised I missed him when he was not there and found myself looking at him more and more, catching myself hanging around to see him.

"Are you waiting for me?" His voice came out of the darkness behind me and I tensed, terrified about turning and him seeing my emotions.
His arms came around me as he stepped up close behind me, his lips dancing across my shoulder, my neck tilting automatically to allow him more access.
"Flower, is this okay?" He asked softly and I struggled to answer, nodding my head instead, tears filling my eyes as he held me close.
I felt his body still as he felt a tear hit his arm. And as his turned me in his arms, I felt myself let go, a sob coming out as he gathered me close, his whispered words soothing my emotions.
"Baby, tell me what's wrong" his hands cupped my face as he lifted my gaze to his. his eyes searching mine.
"I love you" I whisper but he hears me and goes still, waiting for me to continue. "I miss you, I don't know if this will work, I have worries, we clash, you and i and I am scared" I took a deep breath, "but if you'll have me I want to try"

The minute the words left my mouth, his lips joined mine, his arms holding me tight against his hard body and I felt my tension ease, I had told him how I felt and he was holding me close.
Finally he eased back, his grin telling me he was happy. "No take backs... you're mine now" he grinned kissing me again, before pulling back and looking down at me.
"We are telling everyone, tomorrow, no more hiding" he demanded and I nod, happy to let him take the lead, I just want to be by his side.
