Where we belong novel (Ava and Blaze) Book 2 novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I didn't go far only a few feet until I was sitting on the swing set my dad and the guys built a few years ago. I had no idea how long I was out there for, but it was peaceful, and I was enjoying my own company. Being back here was like I had never left, a fight happened, and everyone was in there getting shit faced. It was like Deja-vu.

Feeling the warmth of the blanket being draped over my shoulders I cursed myself for not hearing him approach. I was pissed at him and right now I didn't want to talk.

"You mad?".

"Furious".

"Smoke?".

"I just want to be on my own Blaze". That was the truth I just wanted peace and quiet and to be left alone.

"We need to talk about last night and the fact that I have a kid".

"And you want to do that now. You just attacked Jared because you're a jealous asshole and you want to talk about Everleigh really?".

"He had it coming". He growled.

"Why? Because he did what you asked him to do? He looked after me when you couldn't. Fuck he kept your daughter safe, yet the jealousy got the better of you just like old times huh".

"I asked him to look after you not fuck you".

"Is that what you think of me. That I'd jump into bed with one of your brothers. Wow Blaze I thought better of you". Getting to my feet I pushed away his hand when he tried to grab me "Don't, you've said all you need to say, and I'm not going to stand here and argue with you".

"Ava wait-...."

I gave him the benefit of the doubt and stopped. I wanted to hear what he had to say yet nothing came. Shaking my head, I went back inside and headed straight for his old room. He wasn't using it, so I took it when I arrived.

Stripping out of my clothes I grabbed a fresh pair of pjs and headed for the bathroom. Turning on the shower I stared at my reflection in the mirror before getting in. I missed being here I missed my family, but I didn't know how long it was going to take before I turned back into the person I was before I left.

Finishing I wrapped the towel around my body grabbed my pjs and headed back to the room. Jumping slightly, I gripped my towel tighter. There was no reason for him to be in here. Everyone here knew I was using this room and yes it was his but still he shouldn't just barge in.

"You need to get out".

"Last time I checked sweetheart this was still my room". He stood from the bed, his size was intimidating, his build frightened. Blaze had always been big, but his size now was something else.

"Fine then I'll leave".

"Over my dead body you're going out there in just a towel"

"Fine". With my eyes never leaving his I let the towel fall from my body. "Put your tongue back in your mouth Blaze". Pulling on my pjs I went about my business as he still stood staring at me.

"You're beautiful but what you just did is fucking dangerous". He growled but I didn't miss how he was creeping closer.

"How so?". I asked.

"It's taking all my will power not to fuck you on the floor right now. Prancing around in front of me naked with that hot little body of yours".

"You done or is there something you actually want?". I was getting good at hiding my feelings and playing the tough girl when in all honesty my palms were sweating my legs shaking and my insides filled with butterflies.

Smirking at me he brushed his fingers down my cheek. "You turned on baby? Is that little pussy throbbing?".

"What? N-no". I stuttered which only made his smirk turn into a full-on grin. "Fuck you Blaze". Putting some distance between us I climbed into bed pulling the covers up so I could no longer see him.

"To answer your question there will only ever be one thing I want baby and that's you. Night Ava".

Once I heard the door close, I pulled the cover away from my face. Yeah, he was still the same Blaze all right. That damn smirk. My heart was beating so fast and the way he made me feel. I knew there and then I was in trouble.

..

I was back there.

Back in that god awful place.

"Little whores awake"...

"No, no, no"...

The pain, the blood everything was as clear as the day it happened.

"Shut up slut"...

I was screaming, I was punching and kicking.

"Ava, baby it's okay".

"No". I screamed jumping up and frantically looking around the room.

I was safe, I was home.

Running my hands through my hair I glanced at Blaze as he climbed on top of the bed. I hadn't had a nightmare in years.

"Baby you're shaking". Placing his hand on my knee I flinched away.

"Sorry". I whispered.

"How often do they happen?". He asked taking my hand in his and I willing let him.

"I'm okay Blaze". Pulling my hand from his I hugged my knees. I so desperately wanted to go get Everleigh and bring her in here. When they used to happen, I would go into her room and lay by her crib, so I wasn't on my own.

"How often?". He asked again.

"It's doesn't matter it was just a stupid nightmare. I'm going to get some water". Pushing the covers off a scream fell from my lips as he pounced pinning me beneath him.

"Blaze". I hissed but he didn't move nor did his grip loosen on my arms. Sighing I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip.

"First one I've had in years now can you please get off me". I hated that he always got the truth out of me one way or another. I hated how fast my heart was beating or how my lower region was awakening. He was too close, and I needed for him to get off me now.

"God baby I've missed you". Moving the hair from my forehead he brushed his fingers down my cheek and over my lips.

Then I heard it, the faint sound of crying. I knew instantly it was Everleigh. Pushing on his chest I scrambled to my feet.

"Wow darling where's the fire?". He chuckled but I was already out the door him hot in my heels.

"Ava"....

"Everleigh's crying she's probably wondering where I am".

"How do you know it isn't Leighton?".
