Soul-Mates Forever Read online

  I wash my face and find a packaged toothbrush and toothpaste, so I help myself. Glancing in the mirror, I see that I’m at least presentable again. Looking at the hanger on the back of the door, I notice Tuck had hung up my clothes from last night. So sweet! I quickly get dressed and by the time I leave the bathroom I see the bed is empty. Hearing a knock on the door, I head out into the living room to find a hotel personnel bringing in a roll cart full of food. The cart is round with a white table cloth draped over it. A single pink rose in a vase in the middle, and dishes all covered with silver tops. Damn! Not only is he hot and sweet but also so considerate. I think my wall just broke a little more. My heart begins to speed up as I remember our kiss from last night.

  My thoughts are interrupted when I hear the door close. Tuck is bringing over a second chair from the dining area and is placing it next to the one he already had put by the cart.

  “Hey, beauty! Come sit next to me,” he says as he extends his hand out to me. Smiling, I walk over and place my hand in his. He leads me to a chair and pulls it out for me. Once seated, he helps move me up to the table. Such a gentleman. He sits down next to me and begins uncovering all the food. Wow, there is a little bit of everything from the breakfast menu here. He stops, looks at me with his fuck hawt eyes and chuckles. “I didn’t know what all you liked so I got a bit of everything. I will know your favorites, one day. I promise. I want to know everything.” He smiles his gorgeous smile, and I melt. He reaches over and pours something from a small silver pitcher next to it and smiles again. “Oh! But I do know how you love your mocha lattes, just like Allie.” Wow!

  I give him my best smile and cover his hand that’s still pouring my latte, and he stills, looking at me in concern. “I love how you know that about me and thank you for all of this.” His smile returns and I remove my hand. He takes my napkin and places it on my lap for me and pours some water into our glasses as well. Setting my elbow on the table, I cup my chin in my hand. “I’m beginning to find out just how sweet you are. You have crumbled my wall a little since last night, just so you know.”

  He mimic’s my position, reaches across with his other hand and tuck’s some of my wayward long hair behind my ear, leaving his hand there. “I’m glad. I want that wall all the way down, at least for me. I understand you still need to guard yourself from others and you should. It’s a cruel world out there and I may not always be around to protect you every single minute, although I would in a heartbeat.” He sits back and picks up his fork, so I follow suit. He stops and points his fork at me. “But, don’t let my kindness get around. I have a reputation to keep up,” he says winking. We both laugh then start digging into all the delicious food.

  Damn, my beauty is fine! I don’t give a shit what anyone says about her, she has a heart of gold. Gorgeous looks, great head on her shoulders and fucking hot! Ok, I said that before but fuck! We finish our breakfast, and she calls Charles to come pick her up. While waiting, we sit on the couch just talking in general about the charity. I reach over and take her phone and punch my number into it. She gives me her fucking beautiful smile and calls my number. Finally! We’re making some progress. Thank fuck!

  “Now, anytime and I mean any hour of the day or night, if you need me, call. I mean it, promise?” I can see some wetness in her eyes as she nods. Fuck! How can anyone not want to spend time with this girl, not show her attention? I don’t get her parents, at all, but hey, look at mine. One’s in prison and never contacts me. No shock there. One is dead from a drug overdose. No shock there either. But hers are alive, rich and still don’t give her the time of day. I wonder why they even had a kid in the first place, but I’m so glad they did.

  After saying our goodbyes I take a long shower. Shit, my cock is always harder than a rock any time I’m around her. I lather up the soap and grip my steel hard cock and start stroking it. My other hand pushes against the wall as I conjure her face in my mind. Her mouth is covering the massive head of my hard cock, her tongue licking the tip, and then sucking me like a fucking Popsicle. Fuck! I just exploded all over my hand. That didn’t take long. So much for endurance. Guess it’s been way too long since I’ve been with anyone. Way too long.

  Once I turn off the shower and wrap my lower half in a towel, I hear my phone start ringing from the living area. I run my fingers through my long hair and head in there. It stops ringing but starts up again quickly. Damn, something must be wrong. I pick it up and see it’s my beauty, so I quickly punch the answer button.

  “Come get me! Please come get me! I… I have to leave! I…” The call goes dead. What the fuck? I run into the bedroom and throw on some clothes while dialing the front desk to get a cab. By the time I get downstairs an SUV limo is waiting for me. Hmmm. Ok, I can live with that. I give the driver the address and tell him to step on it, that it’s an emergency, and we are there in nothing flat. When I get to the door I can hear screaming from inside. I don’t wait for an invitation, I just go charging in. I follow the loud screams to the right and down a hallway and stop dead in my tracks at the doorway to a lavish office.

  “Fuck you! You never ever pay attention to where I am or who I’m with. Fuck you!” Paxton screams at what I assume is her parents. Jonsey is holding her back by her arms and shaking his head at me. “Why now? Why the fuck do you care what I’m doing NOW? What? You need me to get prettied up and be your public display girl again for something? What do you need to use me for this time?”

  Her dad takes a couple of steps towards her but backs off quickly when she starts trying to pull out of Jonsey’s tight grip. I see both of her hands are balled up in fists by her side.

  “Now, sweetie…” Her dad starts to speak.

  “Don’t. Ever. Call. Me. Sweetie. You don’t mean it. You don’t give a shit. Just. Don’t,” Pax says through gritted teeth.

  Her dad stands up straight, crossing his arms in front of his chest. “Very well. Yes, we have another charity planned for this weekend that you must attend. You simply cannot go anywhere right now. You are needed there.”

  She starts laughing hard, so hard she begins snorting. She stops struggling and relaxes. “Yeah, thought so. Funny that’s the only time you talk to me. When you need me to be somewhere and do something for you, for the company.” She’s laughing and snorting again but stops abruptly and strains against Jonsey’s hold. “No. Fucking. Way! I’m done! I’ve had enough of doing everything for you and your company when you don’t do anything for me. No love, no attention, no affection, no being a real family. NOTHING!” She screams.

  Her dad shakes his head. “Don’t we give you everything your heart desires? You have more money than most movie stars do. Is that not enough?” He takes a step closer to her and points his finger at her. “You will be there, you will look lovely and you need to get your fucking act together. NOW!”

  I walk into the office and stand between her dad and her. I turn to face him and cross my arms over my bulky chest. Not only am I much taller than her dad, but I am huge in comparison to him and I have had enough of his fucking talk.

  “Ok, I’ve heard enough of this shit! Look, you need to back the fuck off!” I poke him in his shoulder with my finger as I speak. I remove my finger and point it at my beauty, keeping my eyes glaring at his. “This girl? This woman? She’s the most caring, loving person I know and I am fucking sure you all had nothing to do with how awesome she turned out.” My finger points to both of her parents then back at him. “I seriously have no fucking clue why the hell you even had a kid except for just showcasing purposes which is so wrong on so many levels. Kids need love. Kids need affection and some of your fucking precious time. Kids need to know their parents’ had them because they wanted someone to love and someone to love them back.” My finger sweeps the room. “I see no love here. I see nothing but pain,” I sneer.

  Her dad steps up to me and pushes me back just a tiny bit. I have to hold my laugh in because now is not the time. Man, he has no idea who he’s messing with
.

  “Look, you piece of shit, she is my daughter. She is not leaving here, even if I have to lock her in her room and no one, I mean no one, will or can stop me. You got that, punk?” He says glaring at me, hatred in his eyes.

  “NOOOOOO! I won’t stay, you can’t do that you prick!” Paxton screams and struggles more against Jonsey’s tight hold.

  I turn to her, put my finger against my lips, smiling underneath. She abruptly stops her screaming and squirming and looks at me in shock. Turning back to her piss ant father, I cross my arms again and give him my cocky grin. Screams erupt when my fist connects with his face, knocking him out cold, his body falling hard onto the hardwood floor. His wife runs to him, immediately on her knees, gently smacking his face.

  “Alan! Alan!” She looks at me and scowls, “You fucking bastard!” She returns her attention to Alan trying to revive him.

  I feel a soft arm going around mine and turn my eyes to Paxton’s smiling face looking up at me. “Come on, beauty. Let’s go get you packed. We’re outta here.” She smiles and nods eagerly.

  Jonsey appears in front of us before we have time to take a step. “I’ll help. I know what all you need. Quickly.”

  We all walk up to her bedroom and start packing. While Pax is in her bathroom gathering all her stuff there, Jonsey stops and makes a call. I nod at him when he asks me a question and then he finishes. By the time we are done, her bedroom almost looks as if it’s not been lived in at all. We packed up six suitcases, two makeup bags and have four carry-on bags.

  We head downstairs. Jonsey already has taken most of it out to the car, when her parents walk into the foyer. Pax’s hand grips my arm, my other arm protectively wraps around her shoulder. Her mother is hanging on to Alan, who has a bag of ice covering his eye with his hand.

  “You’re not leaving! I forbid it!” He yells to my beauty. He looks at me, with his one uncovered eye and screams, “And you! I am pressing charges, you dick! I have the best lawyers money can buy. You will never amount to anything. I will see to it! And you can forget playing at my charity or anything else for that matter, you slime bucket! You will never get another job playing anywhere! I can and will make that happen! You’ll find out what it means to cross me!”

  Jonsey removes Paxton from my arm. She struggles a bit, but I look at her and wink. She gives me a sad smile and goes out the open front door with him leading her. I walk straight over to Alan, causing him and his wife to step back a few feet, and I laugh.

  I stop and laugh again. “Yeah, ok, big man. You really think I give a shit about my career?” My arm reaches around and I point at the open front door. “Do you really think anything matters but her?” I cross my arms, puffing out my chest. “I’m sure you don’t care, but you just lost one hell of a daughter. I hope you’re happy. Guess you’ll just have to go find another poor unsuspecting beauty out there to exploit.”

  I turned and starting walking towards the door, and as I cross over the threshold I hear, “Fuck you! You’ll just end up in jail, or dead just like your parents!”

  I don’t even bother with a retort on that one. I just half turn, grab the door handle and laugh while slamming it. Climbing into the back seat of the limo, I buckle myself in and grab my girl, holding onto her tightly. Charles announces in the speaker he’s fucking glad that’s over, and he’s proud of us, as we begin moving out of the driveway. My beauty looks up at me and mouths ‘Thank you’ and buries her face into my chest. Just where I want her to be.

  We stop by my hotel. I run in and throw all my shit in my one carry-on bag and check out. Once back in the limo, with my girl nestled against me, we take off for the airport. Kansas, here we come!

  Chapter Five

  We’re on the plane, and I am snuggled into Tuck’s body after eating a lavish lunch/dinner in first class. Yes, we stopped by my bank on the way to the airport, and I withdrew all my money from checking and savings. I had two accounts on each, from my modeling and one from the extravagant allowance my so called parents gave me. In total, I have enough to last me a lifetime so no worries there.

  Sitting here gives me too much time to think about my life. I am saddened by the thought of never seeing my parents again, but then I really didn’t see them much throughout my life anyway. What’s the difference? I look at Tuck, who is now sleeping, his head in his hand. I see the small amount of stubble on his face giving him an even hotter look, if that’s possible. Sigh. He’s done so much for me, in such a small amount of time. We talked through our meal about where I will stay, at least for a while. When he offered his humble apartment, he was shocked when I jumped on it. I laughed and told him I would be with Allie as much as I can, and that I trusted him. I saw the proud look on his face and felt the tingling throughout my body as he kissed me quickly. Shit! I’m so in love. Now, gotta get the rest of this damn wall down!

  Once we land Tuck grabs a cart at the baggage claim and loads all my stuff on there. When I tried to help him, he gently pushed me away. Sigh. How can I not just throw myself at him right now? He takes my hand, his other one pulling the cart, and leads me to a waiting pickup truck. I see a smiling Shane running around the truck, and he starts helping Tuck load my luggage onto his truck bed. Then Shane and Tuck do their man hug thing, after their man hug Shane grabs me into a big bear hug.

  “I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Allie wanted to be here but there wasn’t enough room in my truck and she hasn’t been feeling well, you know, morning/afternoon/evening sickness,” Shane says smiling.

  “Oh, my poor baby girl. I will need to provide my expert pampering. I know just the thing.” We both laugh. He opens the passenger door for me, I climb in, and Tuck slides in right after me.

  As we head into town, I look around at the landscape that is greening after winter. April seems to be bringing the flowering trees and bushes, and it looks as though some people have been planting flowers already at their shops and homes. It’s beautiful. Not having the changing seasons in L.A. it will be a great change for me, one that I can appreciate. Driving through town, we pass right by the tattoo parlor and Tuck’s apartment that’s located above it. I turn to Shane to see him smiling as he watches the road.

  His eyes move from mine to the road when he speaks. “Allie gave me direct orders to bring you right to her. She said no stopping for gas, peeing or anything else on the way.” We all laugh. “Said she’d have your latte waiting for you, even though the smell right now makes her run to the bathroom.” He winks. Oh, my poor baby girl. I love her so much!

  I give him a big smile and Tuck’s arm wraps around me and squeezes. “You see how much people love you, my beauty?” He whispers in my ear, kissing me on my cheek. My head turns and I smash my mouth to his. Damn! I just can’t help myself. He’s like a new drug to me. My wall just broke some more. I release our kiss and smooth his smiling lips with my thumb. He kisses it and smiles again. “Fuck! I’m gonna have to whisper loving and encouraging things to you more often if I get a thank you like that one.”

  Laughing I punch his shoulder. “Don’t push it, buster.” I turn to Shane, who is busting a gut, trying to keep from swerving off the road. “Not helping, Shane!” I laugh.

  Once we arrive at Shane and Allie’s, I run into the house and almost knock Allie over when I slam into her, our arms flying around each other, both of us laughing and crying. I finally pull back, our hands holding each other’s and we both laugh. I give her the once over and smile, “Look at your itty bitty baby bump. Are you not eating right?” The guys came in just in time to set down our bags and laugh with us.

  Shane puts an arm around Allie, making us release our hand holding, and I watch as he leans down and plants a kiss on her mouth. He looks up smiling and squeezes his girl against him. “Yeah, she’s been pretty sick. Doc Maddison says it’s normal but is a little concerned that the meds aren’t helping. She told us in another month if her stomach doesn’t calm down, she may need to spend a couple of days in the hospital with an IV hooked up to her.�
�� He kisses Allie’s head and looks at me again. “We’re hoping it won’t come to that. I’m trying to give her as much fruit and light foods but they aren’t as substantial. Best we can do right now.”

  I walk around Allie and put my arm around her waist. “Well, her bestie is here now.” I turn to Shane. “I know you’ve taken excellent care of her and the little raspberry but I will help not like I won’t have a ton of time on my hands.” I smile.

  Shane laughs. “Well, the little raspberry kinda turned into a plum now, but thanks. I’m sure my girl and I appreciate everything you can do to help.” We all laugh and head into the living room.

  A couple of hours of laughing and catching up, and I am nodding off on Tuck’s shoulder in Shane’s truck as he drives us to the apartment. I hadn’t been there since the day he moved in, but I remember it’s really small. We pull into the small drive. I see his motorcycle covered in a black tarp, and I look up at the outside stairs that lead to my new home, well at least for now. I’m pretty nervous. I’ve never lived with anyone before except mainly Jonsey and that doesn’t even count because he had his own garden house about a mile out on our property. Well, shit!

  I can’t stop yawning as we bring all the luggage in. Ok, they brought the luggage in, but I carried one of my cosmetic bags, dammit! We say our goodbyes to Shane, thanking him for helping, and I stand there just looking around. Fuck! How are we gonna work this? I hear the door shut and feel Tuck standing beside me.

  “Well, um. I’ll just take your things into the bedroom and clear out some drawers, closet space and stuff in the bathroom for you.” He looks at me smiles and shrugs. “I know it’s not much but we can make it work, right?” His smile turns into his fuck hawt grin, and I just melted again. My heart rate picks up and I’m a goner.
