Chapter 3 - Uppercut.

"So how do you know Jayce?"

Sebastian askes. We've both been sitting on the couch watching trash tv while we waited for Jayce to get home.

"Well it depends on how well YOU know Jayce."

I said, not sure if he knows that Jayce was in a orphanage, I'm not here to ruin his life that he built its none of my business.

Sebastian chuckled shaking his head and looked at me from the side, giving me a cheeky little grin. I turned my head back to the tv, stating at it not really absorbing any information its letting out, I started playing with a strand of my hair to distract myself from the heated pair of eyes on me.

"You make everything so difficult mi amor. If you must know I met Jayce by the bar he works at, we quickly became well acquainted with one another and shortly moved in with each other. I probably don't know half of his past life but I know him as a person, and he's one wicked 26 year old."

I nodded satisfied with the information I've gathered on this guy's and Jayce's relationship. He scooted closer to me leaning on the back of the couch.

"Ok ill stop asking about you and Jayce, rather tell me more about yourself."

I raised a brow finding it funny that he wants to "get to know me" comedy gold.

"What do you want to know firstly, then ill decide if I want to tell you or not."

I say grinning like I've just won the lottary, I liked aggravating this man it seems like a lot of fun. His eye twitch but he kept his grin firmly placed on his mysterious face. Ayana i swear to god if you don't stop ill-

"How old are you? What school did you go too and if you are available, see simple questions."

He says smiling from ear to ear, raising his eyebrow waiting for me to answer. I get up slowly walking to the kitchen as I hear him follow me.

"I'm 21 and yes I'm available."

I said leaning my back against the kitchen counter crossing my arms over my chest. I smiled at him feeling confident yet anxious. He came closer and placed both of his hands on either side of the counter I was leaning on, trapping me in the process.

"Well then aren't we the perfect match?"

He said leaning in, closer and closer. I didn't know what to do? What was I suppose to do? Let this stranger kiss me? There's no fuckin way in hell. I snapped my hormones out of it and punched him right on the nose.

He fell back cursing in Spanish, holding his nose and preventing blood from dripping on the floor.

"Don't fuckin do that again"

I say loudly holding my hand to my chest, when i heard the front door open and slam shut. Jayce walked in confused and wide eyed, I smiled at him and said Hi.

"What is going on here?"

He asks placing a grocery bag on the counter and helping Sebastian up.

"Your friend gives one hell of a punch that's for sure."

"You deserved it."

I mumbled feeling guilty for hitting him that hard, yeah he's cute but Jesus I've known him for 4 hours. Jayce crossed his arms, raising a brow and asked.

"Bash what did you do?"

"Oh I only wanted a kiss its not that big of a deal-"

Jayce immediately grabbed his collar slightly lifting him up, him being 6'4 and Bash being 5'11. Jayce looked furious.

"Don't you fucking touch her, she's like my sister and you'll treat her with the same respect you do with me. Do you understand?"

Bash nodded too shocked to respond with anything, Jayce let him go and went back to groceries. I had to pick up my jaw from how surprised I was.

"Jayce that wasn't necessary, I already handled the situation."

I say slightly offended that he felt the need to do that, does he not think I'm capable of defending myself?

"Don't look at me like that Ana, I know you can hold off your own but Bash here is a womanizer that I know very well. Now what do you want for dinner?"

"Nothing I'm not hunger."

I say a little bit pissed off. He looks at me and then some light ball went off.

"I need to tell you now before I forget. I got you a job interview at the bar, they need someone too work the nightshift and seeing your an night owl i thought you'd like an interview."

He says giving a me small smile. I cant help but smile back at him, he's always been overprotective and thoughtful. I gave him a huge hug squeezing all the air out of him.

"Thanks Jayce."

"No problem Ana, just loosen your grip a little I'm dying here."

He chuckled while patting my head.

"Yeah that's the point."

I say lazily as I let go of him.

"Ill sleep on the couch so that you can get your bed back, ill be out of you hair in no time big bro."

I said going to the fridge grabbing the orange juice throwing myself a cup, Jayce shrugged and said.

"We can always share a bed like we used to do."

I choked a little on my orange juice while whirling around to see if he was joking or not, but he looked dead serious unpacking the groceries unbothered.

I swallowed and relaxed my shoulders agreeing with him. Its not like we see each other like that why am i even shaken up?

Its just like when we were little right?

After Jayce, Bash and I ate some sandwiches Jayce took a shower while I laid in bed trying to fall asleep. I just couldn't, I was kept so busy all day I didn't even think about Sky or if her adoptive parents are loving and caring towards her.

Why did I leave her, what's wrong with me? I'm just like mom. I thought but was interrupted by Jayce climbing into the bed. I froze and immediately pretended to be asleep.

"You awake Ana?"

He whispered close to my ear and waited for me to respond but i didn't. He then grabbed my waist and pulled me against him, hugging me from behind.

I haven't felt this safe in a long time i hope Sky's also safe, i relaxed into his hold all my thoughts disappearing as darkness over took me.
