Jaxon

When I woke up to see Angela in my arms I found a smile plastered on my face. I never expected to feel such happiness waking up beside her, the sun was about to go down giving a slight orange light through the room. It made Angela look even more beautiful.

I slowly caressed her face as she snored softly within my arms. To also wake up with her in my arms naked is something I could definitely get used to. Her skin was soft but what made me even happier is that she smelt like me. I heard my phone rang in the living room and I knew that I have to answer it. I slowly got out of bed making sure I wouldn’t wake Angela up, luckily she only stirred in her sleep as she hugged my pillow tightly.

I even smiled when she kissed the pillow, she must’ve thought it was me. I hesitantly left my room, not wanting to be away from Angela. As I grabbed my phone I couldn’t help but frown at the caller ID. I didn’t want to answer it but I knew that this person only calls when there’s an emergency.

“What do you want?” I immediately asked.

“Jax, he knows where you live. He’s coming for you.” Was all my friend said on the other line. My heart skipped a beat at the new information I just gathered. One of the reasons why I never went back to street fighting was because I made lots of enemies, and one of those enemies threatened my sister back then. So I disappeared from the streets and kept a close eye on my sister.

“And they know about the girl that you’re with.” he added. This time my heart filled with dread and absolute anger. I didn’t give my friend a reply as I literally threw my phone across the room making it shatter. I was heavily breathing from all the anger gathering. I felt like a beast fighting its restraints because there was an intruder trying to steal what’s yours.

I don’t ever want to lose Angela, I just got her. I’d be damned if I lose her to him. My fists started shaking in rage wanting to sink itself into something or someone. I was about to punch the wall until a beautiful voice rang through my apartment, a voice that I could also definitely get used to hearing in this empty apartment of mine.

“Jaxon, are you alright? I heard something break or something like that.” she said groggily as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She looked absolutely breathtaking standing at the entrance of my bedroom door with nothing on but the silk blanket covering her body. I started feeling excited again but I knew I had to hold back because she must’ve been sore by how rough I was just a few hours ago.

A bubbling feeling fluttered in my stomach as I saw her stare at me. I think I might be sick or this could be the after effect of my rage. As I stare at my Angel I knew that I would protect her no matter what, even if it’s from him. I slowly approached Angela and wrapped my arms around her. She looked down and saw that I was still naked and immediately blushed.

I smiled and said “It’s nothing you haven’t seen before.” This made her blush even more. She snuggled more into my arms and asked “Are you sure I belong to you and you belong to me?” I noticed the sadness hidden in the tone of her voice.

“What makes you say that Angela?” I asked with my arms still wrapped around her and her head tucked right under my chin.

“I may seem like this confident woman who seems to have it all figured out… but I don’t. I have doubts in myself and sometimes I wish I was someone else. Who am I to deserve someone like you?” her question made my heart clench in pain. I wanted to cheer her up and tell her that she’s not the bad person here. I’ve done terrible things before and instead of facing them head on, I ran from them. So if it’s anyone who doesn’t deserve anyone it would be me.

I don’t deserve someone like Angela. She might go to clubs, get drunk, and all but she hasn’t seen the dark side of life. The part where you walk down a dark and haunting path only to regret it later on. She’s still full of innocence, it’s a part of her that I don’t deserve yet here I am staking my claim on her. I’m greedy, I want to be the only one she has. The only person she touches. The only person she’ll look for when she’s feeling down.

I know I would have to accept her two other friends but at this point I would do absolutely anything for her.

“Angela, you’re one of the most amazing girls I’ve ever met in my life. Believe me when I say that because I’ve met tons of girls,” I laughed out but as she stayed silent I knew I had to be serious about this. “Who cares if I don’t deserve you and you don’t deserve me. If we want each other then we should be together even if the world isn’t on our sides. At least we aren’t fighting alone, we have each other now.” Her glassy eyes stared at me with happiness.

It looks like she couldn’t believe such words escape my mouth. I couldn’t believe it either. But that’s the thing about her, she’s the only one who’d see this side of me. No one else.

“That makes me happy.” she said as she smiled and snuggled deeper into my arms. Now all I have to do is keep him away from my Angel.
