Safe [punk l.t.]

Chapter 21

Jess' P.O.V

"Are you in or not?"

It takes him an eternity to decide before finally standing in front of me.

"I'm in," he wears his signature smirk I now somehow find sexy.

"Great," I breathe out.

He comes close enough to grab my waist and whisper in my ear.

"You know, I never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth. I can't wait to hear you moan my name."

"Keep dreaming," I pull away in disgust and start packing a backpack full of items for our escape.

"So where exactly are we running away to my love?" he asks.

"Anywhere really, do you know a place?"

"I know just a place. Outside the city limits is a small house I used to live in with my mum before she passed," he explained.

I stopped packing to look at him biting his lip.

"Louis. I'm sorry," I try to comfort.

"I am too Jess," he drawls out.

"For what?" I ask, confused.

"I feel like because of me you're pulled into my mess of a life. I'm putting you in danger day in and day out. You may not know it but you are."

"But Lou, that's what you're here for, right? Is to protect me." I walk over to him and touch his jaw.

I'm falling for him and I'm spiraling out of control...

"I'll keep you safe Jessica."
