have her.
    Where do you work?
    Not telling .
    I need to be around, wherever you are.
    As if.
    We have a man to lure out and I need you on my arm. Or to at least look like we are together.
    I’d rather die.
    Now your making me laugh. Later gorgeous.
    Asshole.
    I can’t help my smile as I put my phone down by my side; god that man knows how to push my buttons and make me melt all at the same time. He drives me crazy. I continue to nibble on my breakfast when a knock at my door sounds out. Great. I stand and walk over, still in my sulky mood. I open it to see my father, I frown.
    “Go away dad, I do not want to talk with you.”
    “Oh baby, I always wanted a daughter just for this.” He smiles, and I humph.
    Ok, I am being stupid. “I am sorry daddy.”
    “There we go, come here.”
    He pulls me into his arms and holds me tightly. I can’t help the tears that over flow.
    “I just…I just, I don’t want to share. I never got a loving, doting dad growing up, and I am greedy, if you fall in love, you might forget me and…”
    “Never.” He says, in a stern voice.
    I blink up at him. “I don’t want a life without you in it dad, not again.”
    “I know baby, I promise I won’t leave you. Ever again.”
    “Sam’s lucky.”
    “I like her sweet girl, can you handle that?”
    “Of course, god I am not going to go all mega brat on you.”
    He smiles and hands me a small chocolate bar. “To make it all better.”
    I laugh. “Now, how can I be mad at you after that?”
    “How are you feeling, really?”
    “Ok.” I say, walking inside. He follows me, and I switch on the kettle.
    “Listen, there are a lot of things going on, and I know it is over whelming, but I will never let anything happen to you princess.”
    I smiled, weakly. “Thanks dad.”
    “Are you ok with Jax being back?”
    “I’m hurt, I won’t lie. I missed him, so much.”
    “I know honey, sometimes life isn’t fair.”
    Mack stays for a while longer then leaves. With a sigh, I strip out of my clothes and head out the back to the pool. I need a swim. I turn on some music full blast and begin doing my version of a sexy dance. I wiggle about, hands in the air, wearing next to nothing. Thank G od I have a high fence. I turn mid way through my dance and yelp ; Jax is standing at the entrance way. He is leaning against the wall; arms folded across his chest. He has a wicked grin on his face. I scream and am about to fall backwards, but he steps forward and catches my arm, slamming me hard against his chest. I am standing on the very edge of the pool.
    “Saved by the pirate.” He whispers.
    Our bodies are pressed up against each other. I am panting.
    “I…I was going for a swim anyway.”
    “Looked like you were making love to the air if you ask me.”
    I blush. “It’s called dancing.”
    “It’s called air fucking.”
    “Jax.”
    “Jade.”
    “Let me go.”
    “No worries.”
    He lets me go and I fall backwards into the pool, screaming. I come up, and he has his head thrown back laughing.
    “That was mean!” I yell.
    “It was funny too.”
    “What do you want Watts?”
    He grins and slides his shirt off, then dives into the pool.
    “I came to invite you to the beach tomorrow.”
    “For what.”
    “For my birthday.”
    I blink. “It's your birthday?”
    “Tomorrow.”
    “Oh, I didn’t know!” I say, feeling terrible.
    “You do now.”
    “And why are you going to the beach?”
    “Sammy has organized a game of volley ball, and a bonfire.”
    I snort a laugh. “Volley ball.”
    He frowns. “What?”
    “You in white shorts…”
    He grins. “I think I would look pretty hot in white.”
    “Nah ah.”
    “Uh huh.”
    I laugh. “No man looks good in white shorts.”
    “I would.”
    “Tickets.”
    “Will you come?”
    “And see you in white shorts? Of course.”
    He grins. “It was Sammy’s idea, give a man a break.”
    “You are whipped Watts.”
    “Huh?”
    “Whipped,” I giggle. “Pussy whipped.”
    I duck as
