Loving Jaxton ✔️

Chapter 11 - worse

Rylee's POV

Five minutes later and after washing off all of my makeup I'm still sitting on the sink with Jaxton in front of me. I've stopped crying and I'm sitting quietly with my arms crossed while he stands in front.

"You can go now Jax." I whisper saying my first words to him as he looks at the time on his expensive Rolex watch. "It's eleven thirty, when's your lunch?" He asks as I wipe my face.

"Around now or 12, but I've been slacking today and I don't think I'm going to take a lunch break." I tell him as I look down at my scrub jogger bottoms. I slip off the countertop and tuck my shirt back in before fixing my hair and adjusting my pants. I start tying them together again when I see how I look.

Confused, flustered, and a mixed up mess.

I take my braid out and redo it before I feel his presence behind me and see him in the mirror. We've never looked like this, he's behind me in the mirror and I hate to say it but we look good together. We just fit, and I hate that.

"I've got to go." I tell him as he steps forwards and places his hands on the sink caging me in so I can't move as he stands behind me and leans his head close to mine on my shoulder.

I look at his eyes in the mirror as he smiles at me. "At least just let me buy you lunch so you can eat with my gramps. He'll love it." He tells me as I shake my head no.

"I don't want to, I can't do that. Not anymore. Everything has changed Jax." I whisper as he shakes his head no smiling at me.

"It hasn't. Nobody has to know what happened. Clean slate, I forgot already okay? Friends again?" He asks me as I let out a laugh and he kisses the side of my head. He makes me crack a smile when he won't stop smiling himself.

"You haven't seen me as an asshole so you're still my girl Ry. I won't mess up your relationship, I'd never mess up anything important to you okay? Even if he doesn't deserve you and is a complete dick in my opinion." He tells me as I nod and lean back hugging him with one arm.

"Thank you. We'll get lunch so your grandpa is happy." I tell him as he smiles and we walk towards the bathroom door. I look out and see the coast is clear so he comes out as well. Then, I see my nurse manager waiting for me at the computer as I push Jax off.

"I'll meet you in the lobby." I tell him pushing him away as she stares at me madly. I walk up to her as she starts, "I don't know what is going on today Rylee Jane but get it together after lunch. You're allowed to have an off day but I don't expect this from you. Come back in a hour and a half, I'll cover for you until then. I expect you to have it together when you get back. End of discussion." She tells me as she looks at my face and I nod.

"Honey are you okay?" She asks as I nod and force a smile. "I'll be okay." I tell her as she nods.

I walk into the lounge room and grab my keys and wallet quickly before going into the lobby to see Jax waiting by the front door with ladies drooling over him. "You ready?" I ask behind him as he turns around and nods. He walks behind me with his hand on the small of my back guiding me out the door and to his Camaro in the parking garage.

He must not like driving his truck much because this Camaro is what I'm accustomed to with him now.

He opens the passengers side door and closes it behind me before going to the driver side and pulling out of the parking garage. It's silent between us before he pulls through town. "Where do you want to eat?" He asks as I stare at his beautiful jawline I had in my hands minutes ago.

"I don't care, anywhere is fine. Where does you step grandpa like?" I ask him as I cover my drool from staring at him.

"I'll bring him a steak and mashed potatoes and he'll be fine. It's his favorite, anywhere is fine with me." He tells me as I nod.
