With tears in my eyes I grabbed my jacket and purse. In a hurry I stumbled on the stairs falling flat on
my face. As the pain sored through my hand a strangled cry fell from my lips. This was his fault, he had
caused this and for what?
"Leah, hey what the hell has happened?". Alanna was helping me to my feet but I pushed her away. I
just wanted to get home and away from here, away from him.
"Hey". Alanna yelled.
"Ask your brother Alanna". Wiping my eyes I pushed my way through the crowd in the main club area
and tried to find the exit. Pushing the double doors I sighed when the cold air hit my face.
"You alright little lady?". The bouncer from before stopped me by standing in front of me. I burst out
crying. I couldn't hold it in any longer. "Hey now did someone hurt you, are you hurt?". I was cradling
my hand to my chest. The pain shooting through it was excruciating.
"I-I just want to go home". I stuttered.
"Stay right there I'll be back". As he rushed off I started to look about myself to see if I recognised
where I was. Taking a seat on the kirb I kicked off my shoes sighing with relief when the coldness from
the ground hit them.
That felt good.
Just my luck it started to rain. Could this night get any worse?
"She was hysterical boss. I didn't know what to do". The bouncer from before was back but he wasn't
alone.
"That's alright Jimmy. I'll take it from here".
Looks like my night could get worse.
Leaning my head against my knees I turned it to the side. I felt his presence beside me but I wasn't
interested. I didn't care what he had to say. After what he said to me in there. I didn't want to be around
him anymore.
I was silent crying. I had to bite my lip to stop myself from making any noise. I didn't want him to see
me cry. I didn't want him to think of me as weak. As I felt his hand on my back I shrugged him off. I
didn't want his help.
"Leah". he sighed.
"Go away". I cried cursing myself for how I sounded.
"Baby you're drunk and you're hurt. I'm not going anywhere".
I didn't reply. The rain was getting heavier and the night was drawing to an end. Everyone was starting
to leave the club and make their way home. Still I sat in the pouring rain with my head against my
knees.
"Leah". He sounded frustrated.
"Go away Jake I don't need your help". Truth was I needed someone's help I just didn't want it to be
his.
"It's pouring with rain and you're soaked to the bone. You'll catch the cold if you sit here any longer. At
least wait inside until I can get someone to drive you home". Everyone was gone it was just me and
him left.
Getting to my feet I kept my hand close to my chest. This didn't go unnoticed by him. "I don't need your
help now leave me alone". Maybe a little childish but I didn't care. Shoes forgotten about I started to
walk down the street. I had no clue where I was going I just wanted to get away from him.
He followed my every movement.
"Just let me drive you home". He snapped.
By this time I was shivering with how cold I was. My clothes and hair were drenched and I knew it was
time to give up and let him take me home.
"Okay". I whispered.
"I live the other way". I frowned when he turned left instead of right. I was still shivering and my nose
was runny. He had turned the heating on full blast and for that I was grateful.
"I'm taking you to a doctor".
"What, no take me home". I demanded. I just wanted to go home, crawl into bed and forget all about
this night.
"No". His voice was stern.
There was no point in arguing. He was the driver and I clearly had no say. Leaning my head against the
window I listened to the rain as it battered off the car. As the car stated to slow down I lifted my head
and looked out the window.
Were weren't at the hospital.
"This isn't a hospital Jake". I was starting to get crabbit. I was tired, sore and feeling sick to my
stomach.
As he got out of the car I watched as he came to myside. Opening the door he leaned in as if he was
going to lift me into his arms. I pulled back.
"Touch me and I'll bite your nose off". I warned. I didn't care that I was bare footed. He wasn't touching
me.
Sighing he moved out of my way so I could get out. Closing the door behind me we made our way up
the drive. "You could have just dropped me off at the hospital". But no he had to be fancy about it.
Knocking on the door we waited for someone to answer and then the door opened an older gentleman
was standing there.
"Jake". He lowered his head and I made a face. Was he bowing to him?
"Sorry it's so late doc but I need you to take a look at her hand for me". The doctor moved to the side
and let us in.
"It's never to late when it's you calling Alp- Jake".
What was he going to say?
"Appreciate it doc". As he took a seat on the arm of the couch I waited for the doctor to return. He
looked so smug I wanted to punch him.
"Just because you're doing this doesn't mean I'm going to talk to you again". He made me angry tonight
but he also hurt me with what he said.
"I Know". He sighed.
"And just-.. Wait did you just agree with me?".
"Babe look-.."
"Don't babe me". I snapped cutting him off. "Stop calling me that in fact just don't talk to me". I regretted
it as soon as I said it. But what he did tonight trumped how my body and instincts reacted to him. He
was a loose canon waiting to explode.
"Just let the doctor look at your hand and then I'll take you home".
My hand was in fact broken.
I had spent hours at this mans house getting a cast fitted. He had prescribed me with painkillers and
Jake was kind enough to pick them up for me.
"4 every 4 hours. 2 of each".
Smiling at the doctor I placed my good hand on his cheek. Can you tell I had already taken some of
them. I was out my face and loving it..
"Time you get her home Jake". As he lifted me into his arms I didn't protest. "Thanks doc I owe you
one".
"Jake". I whispered trying to poke his nose. "Your face is so beautiful and you body". Sighing I smirked
at him. "I've never wanted to have sex with someone so bad". His body stiffened and I giggled. "You're
smoking". As he placed me in the passenger seat he clipped my seat belt in.
"Jake". I whined.
"Leah close your eyes and try to sleep". As he started the car I leaned my head against the window
and just stared at him.
"I danced that way tonight because I knew you were watching. I wasn't shaking my ass for all those
guys. I was shaking my ass for you".
His jaw clenched.
"You do things to my body Jake. I want to be near you all the time, I want to touch you, I want you to
touch me". Reaching my hand over I grabbed his arm. "I've never felt like this before. I feel attached to
you in ways I can't even explain. I'm so confused". I cried. "Why do I feel like this? If Jack wasn't in your
kitchen tonight I would have fucked you on the kitchen floor". Suddenly the car came to a stop. "I want
you Jake Taylor and I have no idea why".
"Leah babe you need to stop talking and just rest. We're nearly home". He was holding onto the
steering wheel so tight his knuckles were turning white.
"You make me feel alive". I whispered. "Being close to you is all it takes. You turn me on so much". I
moaned feeling that sweet little feeling build in the pit of my stomach. "Touch me Jake please". I
begged.
"Leah" He growled.
Within seconds I was out cold.
