CHAPTER 20
Ease Her Pain

[Wattpad removed image]

The second time Ezra opened her eyes, the room was light. Too light, and she blinked as she got used to it. She yawned and looked down to see a still sleeping Jax on her chest. Her limbs were all tangled around her so there would be no way for her to get up without waking her.

Ezra craned her head to see her alarm clock.
It was five fifteen.

She groaned, knowing the alarm was going to go off in ten minutes. She laid her hand on Jax's shoulder and shook her gently. As soon as she was slightly conscious she started to groan, and held Ezra tight. Ezra still pried her fingers from her side and sat up. Her eyes opened slowly and she pouted, puffing her cheeks.

Ezra chuckled, "I've gotta go to work."

She deflated her cheeks. "But it's five! It's still dark out! And I want you to stay." She frowned.

"Trus' me I'd rather stay, then go to work. But I've gotta. I'll be back at two." She reassured her.

"Alright." She seemed pleased with her answer. "Will you hang with me after?" She asked, giving her the puppy dog look.

Ezra nods. "Yeah." She told her, while yawning. She stood up and starts to leave the room.

"Ez?" Jax called.

Ezra turned back around. "What?"

She blushed, slightly. "Um... you think I could stay in here, 'till you get back?"

Ezra shrugged. "Sure."

She smiled at that and got comfortable again.

Ezra trudged into the house, barely remembering to close the door behind her. She almost tripped three times as she made her way up the steps. When she finally dragged herself into her room, she was exhausted and ready to pass out. She completely ignored Jax, who was in the middle of her room, and collapsed onto her bed.

"You been gone forever! It's eight, you said you'd be back by two..." Jax frowned.

"Shh..." Ezra mumbled. "Sleeping, now."

"You okay?" She asked, and Ezra heard her stand.

"Shh..." She repeated. She ached all over, she had a fourteen hour shift and it fucking sucked. She only got a thirty minute break. The guy she was supposed to be working with called in sick and she was somehow expected to load and unload hundred pound boxes without help.

Ezra felt the bed dip beside her and one of Jax's hand sat on her upper back. "Ez?" She called, trying to be quiet. "What's wrong?"

Ezra sighed. "I had to work a really long shift and my whole body hurts."

"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" She asked.

"Nah. I know I promised to hang with ya' but I'm real tired, I jus' wanna sleep."

Jax was silent for a bit but then spoke, "I could give you a massage?" She offered.

"What?" Ezra asked.

"A massage. To make you feel better. I'll let you sleep afterwards, promise." Jax told her.

"Umm... alright."

"Take off your shirt." She said and Ezra sighed as she sat up on her knees, stripping her shirt. Then she laid down her stomach, pressing her face into her pillow. Jax climbed on top of Ezra and straddled her hips. Her hands slid to her bare shoulders and started to give her a massage. She wasn't too strong and it felt good.

Ezra moaned softly when Jax leaned over and pressed her lips to the crook of her neck. She chuckled, her lips tickling Ezra's skin. She slid her hands down her back, slowly, pressing down. Ezra closed her eyes and moaned again, louder. Her hands got to her hips and she moved them back up, occasionally applying pressure.

"You feel any better?" Jax asked as her hands reached her shoulders. Ezra answered with another moan and her hands slid down.

Jax chuckled, "You smell like... bathroom cleaner." She said and Ezra couldn't help but laugh.

"That's what my work smells like."

"But you work with food." Jax stated

"Well yeah, but we don't make it or nothin' ...just ship it. The smell's from the trucks and the chemicals used to clean everything. It's toxic, but the food's all packed up, nothing touches it." Ezra said moaning halfway through.

"But what if someone gets sick?" Jax asked.

"I'on know, they probably blame the restaurant or the store they bought it from."

"And you're just okay with that?"

"Not my fault." Ezra stated. "There's a lot of dangerous things that touch people's food. It's cooked or washed out. But people get sick from food all the time, it ain't a big deal."

Ezra frowned as she realized her hands were moving across as well as down. They were at her sides, attempting to reach her stomach.

"What you doing?" Ezra asked, confused.

"Giving you a massage." She said, innocently. She kept one hand on her back but the other went underneath her. Ezra tensed as she felt her fingers touch the top of her jeans.

"Jax." Ezra warned.

She acted like she didn't hear her and popped the button, quickly pulling down the zipper.

"What you doing?" Ezra asked, again.

"You going to bed after this, right? You don't want to sleep in your jeans do you?"

She started to slide them off and Ezra let her, too tired to put up a fight. She let them fall to the ground and climbed off her.

"I can sleep with you again?" Jax asked.

Ezra flipped onto her stomach and looked over at her. She was wearing a shirt and joggers, with a new chain on. Ezra reached over and traced it until she got to the charm.

It was a tiny corked bottle, with yellow sand inside it and a small label with the word sunshine written on it.

"It's my bottle of sunshine. It's supposed to keep me happy." Jax chuckled shyly.

Ezra couldn't help but smile at that. She let her eyes trail up from her chest and to her lips. They were a soft pink and were the perfect size for hers to press against them. So she did.

She grabbed the front of her shirt in her fist and pulled her down to her, causing her lips to crash against hers. Jax let out a small gasp and Ezra took the opportunity to slide her tongue between her lips. Her arms snaked around her waist and Jax rested her hands on her shoulders.

Sorry, I know this a crappy chapter after being gone some time. But I'm working on the next one that'll probably be better. I'm not sure if it'll be done tonight though, I'll try.
