I fist pumped the air seeing the double glass doors ahead off me. Yes yes yes I mentally cheered but in my mere moment of celebration I had stopped like the fool that I am, giving Joshua just enough time to grab a hold of me.

 “I have to go out but I want you to come with me.” It sounded as if he was asking me but the way he held me said the complete opposite. Swallowing the large lump that had lodged itself in my throat I opened my mouth to refuse but my dam voice wouldn’t work and instead my head nodded up and down while mentally I was shaking it screaming NO. However, Joshua had already taken my hand in his and was leading me out of the front door. My heart was hammering in my chest so hard that my ears had become deafened by its pounding beat. A wave of tenseness as well as tingles shot through me in a flash of light. It was as if I had been hit by lightning.

The drive to the club was silent, well for me anyway. I could see Joshua’s mouth moving but my mind was momentarily stunned. On the other hand, my body was full out rejoicing wanting nothing more than to be with this heavenly God of a man. This wasn’t meant to happen. I was not meant to be in a car alone with this man. God knows what was going to happen. Yes I could be feisty, I could even punch but damn this man took every bit of me and turned me into a big pile of mush, a lump of quivering jelly. What was it with Joshua? How did he have such a large effect on me? Damn I hardly knew the man. Just as we walked into the club it was as if my betraying brain had finally come back to me.

That’s it! I thought to myself as I mentally started to come up with a plan. I had my purse which luckily for me, held my purse and keys but then I realised that I had no car. Then again I had my purse and keys so at least I could get back into the house. That’s it! I’ll pretend I need the ladies room then I’ll make a run for it and grab a taxi! Proud of my intelligent plan making, I made my move to the ladies room and just like the way I planned up in my head. My plan had come through perfectly.

Once I got in the safety of my home I took in a deep breath. I hadn’t realised I had been holding my breath until I felt my lungs burning and black and white dots started blurring my vision from lack of air. My phone buzzed startling me to let me know that I had received yet another text.

Unknown:

I’m coming over!

J xx

I had stopped opening my texts but I had opened this one without even thinking and now J, who I can only think of as Jaxon was on his way over here.  What the hell? Feeling anxious I could literally feel the blood pumping through my veins until it reach my racing heart. I felt as if I was going to throw up as I bolted up from my crouching position and locked the door. Turning off all the lights I ran to my bedroom and buried my head under the pillow.  

With my body trembling, my brain automatically went into overdrive. If it was Jaxon; would I kill him, Punch him? Or would he have me melting just like Joshua had earlier?  Alarm bells went off in my head at the exact same time that the front door bell started ringing. The only difference being the alarm bells in my head couldn’t hurt me where the constant ringing from the door I wasn’t so sure of. I tried telling myself that it could be Joshua but who was I trying to kid because he didn’t even have my number or did he? All these unanswered questions as well as my still raging hormonal body was becoming too much for me to handle in my broken down state. I needed a break but with exams still running there was no chance in that. The bell had stopped ringing but my phone was going mental as well as the banging on the front door. I thought if I could just ignore it, it would go away but how wrong was I.

Not been able to stand the banging and ringing for another second I marched down the stairs and swung the front door opened. “What ……..” my word came short just as my breath and my anger. There standing right in front of me was not only Jaxon, who right at this minute looked as mad as hell but Joshua as well. The pair of them stood there looking at me as if they were waiting for me to say something. What? I hadn’t a clue because for the life of me, I hadn’t a clue what they wanted let alone why they were both here in the first place. What made it worse was that I was still in shock that Jaxon had the nerve to show up here on my door step. As well as how the hell did Joshua find out where I lived? Then again that one wasn’t hard to figure out because I had no doubt in my mind that, that was all Elle’s doing.

‘Ok Isabella pull yourself together!’ I internally scolded myself.

With my mind slowly regaining consciousness, the anger I had kept locked up so tightly bubbled to the service just like a volcano right before it blows. Feeling all my control slip away I lashed forward and began beating the hell out of Jaxon. All I could see was red as the text he dumped me by scrolled before my eyes like an advertising banner.

 Jaxon tried to block himself from each punch and kick I threw at him but I wasn’t having any of it. He tripped down the step which gave me better access to his six ft. structure. I began kicking him repeatedly until I no longer had the energy to move my legs.  Joshua picked me up bridal style and carried me into the house.  I could hear Jaxon screaming but the loud banging of the door slamming shut cut him off. I had totally forgotten that Joshua was even there in my crazy wild emotional mental breakdown. Then again it wasn’t totally my fault as that was the very first time I had seen Jaxon since he dumped me and left like the coward he was. Right at that moment I was too exhausted to even think what Joshua must’ve thought of me. All I needed right now was for Joshua to continue holding me and tell me everything was going to be alright even though I knew he wasn’t.

 My eyes became heavy as all the adrenaline I was feeling drained from my body.  I could hear Joshua whispering soothing words to me but I was too tired to fight against his warmth and just left myself sink deeper into his hold. Leaving my heavy eyes close, I fell into a deep but restless sleep.
