Chapter 12 - He’s Home-Alice

I woke up to see Jack holding me tightly like I was a teddy bear. I rolled out of his grasp and off the bed.

"Owww!" I yelled. Jack looked over at me and and fell back down with a smile on his face,

"Mrs. Peters, please come back to bed." He spoke. I felt my face getting hot and I turned to look at him. His hair was disheveled and he wasn't wearing anything on top. I stood and walked to the restroom. I looked at myself and grimaced. My hair was all wound up in a knot, my eyes were dull green and I had bags under my eyes. And Jack still loved me. He wants to marry me! The thought makes my heart flutter. I was walking out of the bathroom when I saw Mrs. Peters and my father sitting on the couch.

"Papa..." I said softly. His gaze shifted to me and he smiled.

"My Ali! Come on over and give me a hug!" He yelled, kindly. I ran over and hugged him tightly. I had missed so much, this was such an unannounced visit. I looked up and smiled at him. I heard footsteps coming down the hall. Jack's voice revealed himself before. "Mrs. Alice Peters I need help with my tie-" Me and my father looked over to see Jack in the entrance way with an undone tie. I watched fathers eyes change from warm and lighthearted to dark and upset.

"Father?" I said gently. He looked down and me and removed our hug. He stomped over in between Jack and I.

"What the hell is going on!?" He snapped. I looked at Jack and gave him an annoyed look. He shrugged.

"Heyyy, Mr. Pembrooke!" Jack said smoothly. I rolled my eyes and giggled. My father shot me an icy glare. I looked down and smiled to myself.

"My god! Alice, your tainted aren't you!" He yelled. I couldn't believe my ears.

"No dad what the hell!" I shouted.

"Alice! You cuss now! Oh no, my daughter has been ruined by you!" He yelled pointing at Jack. I tried to run over to him but my father stopped me. He made me face him and slapped me. My face was stung and tears ran down.

"Don't touch my wife!" Jack yelled. He sprinted over and punched my dad. I ran over to Jack and held him back. I put his face in my hands and stared into his mysterious lake eyes.

"Hey, Honey! I'm fine see! I'm ok, calm down ok! I love you ok. Let's go." I dragged him to our room and sat him down. He pulled me in and kissed me possessively. I sat on his lap and kissed him back. My hair was all down. I wonder what my father would think about me kissing a boy on a bed. Oh right! He'd yell at me and then slap me. I opened my eyes to see Jack reaching his hand up to my face. I intercepted his hand and put it on my face and smiled. God I loved him.
