Always

Part 47

25th of December 

I woke up alone in the bed today. Jax wasn't there and I stood up. I grabbed Jax old sweatshirt to cover up my body. Without making a sound I slowly walked down the stairs trying to find Jax. It was quiet and I could not see him anywhere. I walked down to the living room but could not see anything that would help me find him. 

"Jax?" I asked but didn't get any answer. "Jax?!" I yelled again and walked out to the kitchen. "Ashley?" 

I turned around and saw Jax opening the front door. He had a bag in his hands and when he saw me he slowly hid it behind his back. "Uhm, marry Christmas I guess" He said and looked at me from top to toe, when he released I was wearing his sweatshirt he smiled. "Marry Christmas" I said and he sighted. "I was hoping you would not wake up for at least thirty minutes" He said and walked out to the living room. 

I looked around and then released what he have been doing up so early even though his not a morning person. The table in front of the TV was filled with breakfast. I turned to look at him. "You didn't have to do all this by yourself" I said and smiled. "It's Christmas Ashley, I'm pretty sure you're that kid that have been waking up to Santa every year even though you turn seventeen in like one week" He said and grinned I rolled my eyes and walked to the table. "Oh god you even made hot chocolate I said smiled big. "Oh wait" I said and realised what I have forgotten. 

I ran up to the bedroom and grabbed the present I bought for him just a few days before. It was a hard decision and I really hope he will like it. 

Jax was staring at me when I entered the living room again and I sat down next to him on the sofa. I gave him the small box and looked at him curiously. "It's from me, - obviously its from me but its my Christmas gift for you" I said and Jax grinned. "Okay..." He mumbled and I knew he didn't like this kind of attention, I looked how he slowly opened the box and as he realised what he have gotten he smiled big. He held the bracelet in front of him and I smiled proudly. "So I wanted to give you some kind of necklace but I saw that you had your chain so I came up with the idea of buying a matching bracelet to your silver chain" I looked up at him and saw that he was still smiling. "I really like it" he said and kissed me. 

"So... I have something for you too" He said and picked up a box in the same size I just gave him. "We have been thinking pretty the same, but I hope you like it" He said and I opened the small black box. I smiled big when I saw the necklace. It was a beautiful, it was a super thin silver chain that is carrying the small white pearl. I looked up at him with the biggest smile I think I ever smiled. "Its beautiful" I said and picked up the necklace. Jax helped me to put it on and I smiled even bigger. 

I almost jumped into his arms. "It's beautiful Jax" I said and he kissed me on the forehead. "I'm really fucking hungry, do you wanna eat?" He asked and waved with his hand to the full table in front of us. "Yeah" I mumbled into his chest and smiled before grabbing a mug.

I was standing in the kitchen putting all of the left overs in the fridge. "This is the best Christmas that I ever had in a long time" I said to Jax that was standing behind me putting all of the dish in the dishwasher. "For real?" He asked. "Yeah, for real" I answered and Jax closed the dishwasher and came up behind me. He put his hands on my waist and gently kissed me on the neck. I smiled. "I forgot to tell you how good you look in my shirt" He said and I closed the fridge and turned to look at him. "Really?" I asked and looked down at myself. I was only wearing his sweatshirt and I pair of underwear. 

"Ashley I'm not kidding you look really good" He said and I blushed. "I can say the same about you" I said and looked at his well trained upper body. Jax slowly took a step forward making me lean against the fridge. My pulse was raining. I don't know if I hate or love that he still has this effect on me. He slowly slid his warm hand in under the sweatshirt and I took a deep breath. "I really wanna take this further but I will save it for tonight" He whispered and I nodded and blushed again. 

"I'll go and get some wood, it starts to get cold in here" He said and I nodded again before he walked out from the kitchen and out trough the front door. 

I looked around in the kitchen and something caught my eye. Jax's phone was laying on the table and he have gotten a massage. I ignored the phone and sat opened my phone to text my father marry Christmas when his phone began to ring. 

I ignored it. But then it called again. And again. And again. "Jax! Your phone!" I yelled and looked at the phone screen.  It was from an unknown number, maybe its the same person who tried to reach Jax yesterday. I looked at the phone as the screen darkened. If the person is calling one more time I'll answer. And then it called. 

I slowly grabbed the phone and lifted it to my ear. I know I shouldn't actually do this but I really want to see who it is that is calling him and messaging him all the time. 

"Hello?"
