Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 84

This is how I imagine Jace btw since I got a question about him!

Alex's POV

Four hours later I land in Florence Airport and Jace picks me up. I am pretty shaken up by the events of earlier morning so Jace only hugs me and offers me to carry my suitcases instead of bombarding me with questions about my unplanned visit.

We get out the airport and he opens the door for me of this vintage Ferrari car that I have seen on TV several times. I am not in the mood too much to joke about it so without saying anything I get on the vintage leather seats while Jace puts my small suitcase in the trunk and joins me in the car.

"Want me to open the top?" He asks as he fiddles with the radio and I nod. A breathe of fresh air might feel nice after a whole two hour plane ride spent crying.

"So I might guess that everything's not okay?" Jace says once he pulls up on the road and starts to press on the gas, making my hair fly everywhere while the radio sends out tiny beats that he keeps up with tapping on the wheel.

"No, its not." I say as I giggle with him, my nerves on the edge.

He smiles at me and then continues to drive, silently waiting for me to spill. I wait until I feel better and the small forests and tiny houses among the sunny road really help with my mood.

"I'm pretty sure I saw this car on Miami Vice", I say changing the topic away from my affairs. I don't want to cry anymore but I don' t want to talk about it ether, not yet at least.

"Its because this is a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa." He says as he laughs and the collar of his polo shirt dance in the wind and his black hair tingle down onto his forehead.

"Which is?" I ask. I can tell what car is which most of the time but this is gibberish to me.

"A very exclusive piece of junk." He says as he laughs and I join in.

"How much was it?" I ask, not minding whats the price tag is really but just something to keep my mind off Harry.

"I bought this baby from an auction, cost me about 12.5 million." He says when my jaw drops to the floor.

"What?" I ask when he starts to laugh. I knew Jace was rich from the golden chains on his neck and the huge fist sized rings on his fingers but I never thought he was this rich.

"I know I didn't have as fancy babies as these in America but yeah..." He says as he smirks at me and turns the volume up on the radio.

"He cheated on me!" I yell to him over the music. He doesn't hear me.

"Harry cheated on me!" I yell again as he turns the music down. He hears me and then suddenly hits the breaks and pulls the car off the road to the side and takes his sunglasses off.

"He what?!" He screams to me as he turns in his seat to face me. The tears come to me again and as I start to cry, Jace runs his hands through his hair and stops the radio while panting.

I turn to stare at him and as his nose flares and his chest rises up and down under that polo shirt, his strands of black hairs fall onto his forehead and his five o'clock shadow glisten under the Italian summer heat, I feel calmer than I was in Dunkirk.

"I caught him in bed with someone else..." I say flatly, not believing the words as they come out my mouth. Even when Harry hugged me he said my name as if he was trying to buy some time, think of something to do. He wasn't surprised to see me, he was shocked, panicking... I did not see any of it.

Jace stares at me as if fire is coming is through his mouth and then tries to calm himself as my tears fall onto my lap.

"Please don't cry Alexandra." He pleas, his accent on my name making it sound like its Italian.
