Darby

I sit at the table staring at the doors Jonas left out of with Jax I’ve heard Jax giggle a few ti in there to see what they are doing I want to give theether They need it Hell, I need a ether MyA switch has been flipped and gone is the asshole that had hisbut a ood I could see why I was once in love with him

My hand goes to my chest when I feel a flutter there Love Could I love someone I don’t remember? Is that why I’ve been so drawn to his he’s said? If heso bad? Why had I so easily left with him? I’d let him hold me while I slept My mind may not know him but there has to be some part of me that does I’ve never had this reaction to anyone else The door opens and I turnit down

“He’s asleep He always crash like that?” Jonas walks toward ht hours have taken their toll on hi into account that this is a lot for him

“When he gets to cuddling he’s normally out a few minutes later”

“So he’s like his asp when Jonas lifts me from the chair I wrap my arms around his neck as he carries me over to a sofa, where he sits doith h we’ve done this sa thousands of times before

“I’m a cuddler?” I know Jax and I cuddle all the time I let him sleep in bed with ether as atch a ether More than anything, it warms my heart that Jax has soel deserves that and so much more

“I turned you into one” His nose rubs alongrow hard Yeah, I’ up fro slumber “I used to fall asleep wrapped around you Couldn't help s into h Fro The desire for me is written all over his face

“Has a lot about ed?” I still wonder what makes a man like Jonas fall for someone like me He said I was alone in the world I clearly didn't live up to whatever standards his grandmother had in mind In my defense, I don’t think anyone could live up to her standards

“No I wish I could have seen your body change To see you round with my baby That I could’ve been there for it all”

“I’m sorry” I know it’s not my fault but I’m sorry he missed it, too

“I’ll get to see the next one” He pullsanywhere I don’t want to

“You don’t likeht I ran from you Did I have a reason to run from you, Jonas?” He didn’t answer any of ht

“I didn't think you did, butyou froret in his voice If what he said is true then I wasn't the only one who lost soo to such great lengths to keep us apart It’s alinable

“Did you loveI already knew that answer to the question He was not only angry when he saw me but hurt

“Yes I will always love you Even before I pieced together what I think happened I was going to marry you I didn't care why you ran froain”

His words should scare me but I find that his possessive tone only turns ht I was all alone Now here is thisto havebad He doesn't care He just wantshim His hand slips under my shirt and up my back

“I’ve stalked you,” I aders find my bra In one snap he pops it open

“Keep going” He s Flashes of Jonas giving h my mind

“I would see you in azines” His thuthat I thought was h the memories may not be clear, at this moment, I know that I love him That I’ve always loved him

“We hate the azines,” he reminds me “They make shit up”

“So you weren't on a yacht not that long ago having the ti for his reply Mysuch a thing I don’t kno I know but I do Another thing that clicks back into place

“My life ended the day I thought I lost you” My eyes lock with his “I’ve h each day I would never move on from you, Darby I told you that the day I asked you to marry me It is you or no one for me I meant those words” My eyes burn with tears “Don’t cry You know it kills me when you cry” I do know that

“Kiss et the words pastback
