CHAPTER 27
LUCAS’ POV
After we took care of everything to do with Madison and her father, we went back to the house and we actually felt pretty good about what was going to happen this afternoon. This should hopefully keep Madison away from Skylar and we might be able to relax a little. I got stressed out just knowing that Skylar was going to school and was going to be near Madison. After today, I now know exactly what that bitch is capable of. I didn’t realize how much she really hated Skylar. But now it was obvious and we had to do something about it. To make it stop completely.
As soon as we walked inside we saw Jax sitting on the couch watching a movie and Skylar was laying on the couch with her head on Jax’s lap asleep and his arms were around her.
As soon as I saw it, I stopped walking and I felt a pang of jealousy right in the chest. I tried not to let it look so obvious, but I think it was.
I walked across the room and sat on the other end of the couch but Skylar’s legs were tucked up so she wasn’t touching me as I was sitting there. But I liked the view from where I was because all she was wearing was one of Harry’s shirts.
“Perv.” Harry said, looking at the TV. But I looked back at Jax with a little disdain.
“What can I tell you, Lucas? I’ve known her longer. So, you’ll just have to get in line if you want to get this close.” Jax teased us.
I knew that I shouldn’t do it. Skylar asked me not to say anything, but I think that was more at school. She didn’t say anything about mentioning it in front of the guys.
“Who cares if you were the first to meet her. Have you ever kissed her?” I asked.
“No.” Jax said, suspiciously.
“I have. In bed this morning. Suck shit.” I said, flipping him off.
Jax ended up picking up one of the cushions and threw it at me, but he stopped me from throwing it back because it might hit Skylar and wake her up.
So I threw it at Harry instead.
“What the hell did I do?” Harry asked.
“I don’t know. But I can’t throw it at him.” I sulked and Jax was trying not to laugh.
But Harry then got up and tackled me off the couch and we started rough housing around the living room. But pretty quickly Jax stopped us.
“She’s gonna wake up.” Jax said. And we looked at her. She was tossing and turning and we weren’t even making that much noise.
I guess she was a pretty light sleeper. That sucked. But I grabbed Harry’s nipple through his shirt and twisted it until he kneed me between the legs and he fell off of me.
When we finally stopped messing around, I got back up on the couch where I had that nice view and I looked at what Jax was watching. Just the car races.
I’m guessing he put that on after Skylar went to sleep. She doesn’t seem like much of a car person.
“She’s really tired. Especially after I made her watch Paranormal Activity.” Jax said. So we both looked at him in shock.
“I’m guessing it scared the hell out of her?” I asked.
“Hell yeah. She was practically sitting on my lap by the end.” Jax smirked.
“That’s just playing dirty.” I said. And Harry started laughing.
“It’s good though.” Harry said.
“You two are as bad as each other.” I said. And Harry reached over to fist bump Jax and Jax looked so proud of himself. I can’t believe he would do that just to get closer to her.
Maybe I had to step up my game a bit. But I didn’t want to scare her either. I already said one thing that really upset her. I didn’t want to do that again.
“Fine. Just wait until the next time I’m left alone with her.” I threatened.
“Good luck. You aren’t going to be the only one there.” Jax said.
“I have my own charm that does just fine on its own without needing a couple of wingmen nutjobs like you.” I said.
I eventually got up and made it look like I was going to the kitchen, but while Jax and Harry were talking I took advantage of them being distracted and I picked Skylar up.
“What the hell?” Jax asked.
“You weren’t paying attention. My turn to put her to bed.” I said, carrying her out of the room.
“Asshole.” Jax said as I started up the stairs and I just laughed at her.
I got Skylar to her room and I opened the door and walked inside and closed it behind me.
I got her on the bed and managed to pull the covers back so I could put them over her.
I sat on the bed next to her, watching her peacefully sleeping face.
I moved her hair out of her face and I stared at her beautiful face. I looked down and her wrists were still swollen under the bruises and I gently rubbed them before I gently kissed both of them.
“I’m really sorry for what I said today. I didn’t mean it. If I didn’t say it then this wouldn’t have happened to you. I’ll find some way of making it up to you.” I said.
I sat there looking at her for a few more moments before I stood up and I was about to leave when I felt her grab my hand gently.
I smiled really joyfully at her and I pulled the covers back and I laid down next to her. She rolled over to face me and I put my arms around her.
“I don’t blame you.” She said, groggily.
“How long have you been awake?” I asked.
“Long enough.” She said. And she nuzzled her head into my chest, listening to me breathe. And it relaxed me as well. Until I finally fell asleep as well.
