Chapter 14
Jaxon
Shit.
This is all his fault. Anger coursed through every vein as I paced back and forth in the flower shop. I didn’t expect Angela to overhear our conversation. My beautiful Angela who always had a smile on her face when she’s around me, she gave warmth and happiness into this empty life of mine. She made me enjoy being at home.
Who knew she could’ve looked at me like I was the biggest scum in the world?
It was because he found me and the only way to protect my Angela is if he thinks that I don’t care about her. Angela just had to confront me right in front of him and this only made me even angrier. I suddenly punched the wall making a hole in it. A glass shattered behind me and when I turned around I saw my sister, Kathy standing at the entrance. She just dropped the vase that she got and was staring at me angrily.
“What the hell Jax!” she shouted as she stared at the hole in the wall that I just created.
“Not now, Kathy.” I tried staying calm but it was obvious that I was extremely pissed. Suddenly Kathy looked at me worried and asked “What’s wrong Jax? I’ve never seen you this angry before.”
I suddenly didn’t want to be here. I didn’t want to be anywhere if Angela wasn’t here. I wanted her in my arms as we laid bare naked while panting heavily from our love making. I wanted to feel her skin upon mine, to see her gasp out in pleasure as I touch her, and to have her lips interlocked with mine in a passionate intense kiss.
“Remember I used to hang out with this rich chick?” I asked my sister as I leaned against the wall. She grabbed her chin and said “Yeah, was it the one that lasted for about two weeks, and when you told her she was just a fling she started acting clingy?”
“Yes… Her name is Irina.” I told her.
“Wasn’t her brother like a high bidder in one of your street fights and when he found out you broke his sister’s heart he started threatening you?” she asked. “Yes, this time he threatened Angela. I told him that Angela meant nothing to me and Angela overheard it.” I explained.
“Then just explain to—” I cut her off by saying “She confronted me in front of him. So I told her exactly what I told him. I bet she won’t even talk to me let alone see me.” I said.
“Why don’t you just live your life the way you want to? It’s not like he’s going to really hurt me or Angela.” She said. She doesn’t know how dangerous this man is. They can throw anything at me and I’ll welcome it with clenched fists, but when it comes to the people I love I would yield. Kathy suddenly gave me a bouquet of purple Hyacinths which mean ‘I am sorry’.
“If you really feel strong for this girl then you should start from square one… First, go apologize.” she said. I smirked at my sister and said “You’re the best,” she crossed her arms and said “I know.” Proudly.
But then I added “But you’re still ugly.” Before she can start yelling at me I was already out of the flower shop and on my way to the apartment complex. I couldn’t wait for the train so I ran all the way there. I knocked her door impatiently but when the door opened it was a frowning Stephen, thank God it wasn’t Fran.
“What are you doing here?” he asked angrily. Did Angela tell Stephen what happened?
“I’m here for Angela.” This time I didn’t have any insult to throw at him because all that mattered was seeing Angela. Fast. Now. I yearned to see that gorgeous smile upon her face and I’d do anything to keep it that way. I suddenly felt like a complete idiot for hurting her the way I did. I can even imagine her bright smile as she made her way to me only to hear harsh words coming out of my mouth, if only I could punch myself.
“Look here asshole, I don’t know what happened between Angela and you but all I know is my girl crying and throwing stuff in her room. She won’t even come out so I think the last person she wants to see is you.” Stephan said. I growled when she called Angela his girl, she’s mine.
“I just want to talk to her.” I said as I gritted my teeth. Trying my best not to punch this guy. I had to remind myself that if I do punch Stephan than Angela would hate me, well more if she already does. Stephan stared at me with a deadpanned look and said “She doesn’t want to see you.” Then he slammed the door in my face.
I ran my free hand through my hair frustratingly as I clenched the flowers tightly with my other. I then kicked the hallway wall as much as I could then went into my apartment. I threw the flowers on the ground as I made my way to my bedroom. When I plopped onto my bed I heard sniffles coming from the other side of the wall.
Angela.
My pulse started racing at the thought of Angela being on the opposite side of this wall. I gently placed my calloused hand on the wall as if I could feel her warmth but there was nothing but the coldness of the wall upon my hand.
“Angela.” I called out but I could still hear her sniffling behind the wall. I sighed to myself and said even louder “Angela.” The sniffling suddenly stopped and was replied with “I’m not crying.”
I couldn’t help but smile at how adorable she is. “And besides we’re not together anymore so… go away!” she said. Although her voice is a bit muffled I could still hear her. I smirked even though she couldn’t see me and said “We’re still together. We won’t break up until I agree that we’ll break up.” But she didn’t reply.
I let out a loud sigh and said “I’m sorry Angel… What I said to that man back there wasn’t true. I had to lie to him.”
“Excuses! Excuses! Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie!” she shouted angrily as something hit the wall but then she mumbled “Ouch.” My guess is that she punched the wall. I leaned my head against the wall and said “This time I’m telling the truth… I promise I’ll make it up to you. I’ll do anything you want me to do. Just please give me one more chance.” I practically begged.
“How can I tell that you’re not lying?” she asked. It’s hard not seeing her face. I needed to see her. “Can we at least talk about it face to face?” I asked.
“No.” was her short answer.
“Please… And if you decide to not give me a chance then I’ll leave you alone for good. Heck, I’ll even move to a different apartment.” I assured her. It was silent for a while, I’m just glad that the sniffling stopped. I can’t stand to know that she’s crying and I’m the reason why.
“Okay, I’ll come over. On one condition, no kissing.” She said.
Oh.
This is going to be hard.
