Chapter 4 I need you.

My phone lit up, and I wondered who the fuck it was. I changed my number. I answered the phone and the voice that came through made the glass bottle that was in my hand fall on the flour shattering to pieces.

It sounded desperate and in need. The old me would have cared, but that person no longer exists.

"How the fuck did you get my number?" my voice coming out harsher than I intended all the better

"That's the first thing you have to say didn't you hear me say I need you "

"It's fine, I'll just get a new one," I hissed and hung up my phone in his face.

I don't know why he bothered to call.

My phone rang again, and I answered it. "What the fuck do you want, Clay?"

"I'm coming over" I go to ask him what, but he hangs up the phone.

Coming over? what the fuck? How does he know my address? I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Rushing around in panic, I tried to find my phone book. Someone from my team will be fired. No one was supposed to find me.

I stiffened when I heard a knock on the door. "open up Ace, I know you're in there"

I open the door, prepared to tell him to fuck off but the look on his face made me bit my lips.

His blue eyes were like the sea on a stormy day. "I need you." His voice broke, and I pulled him inside, wrapping my arms around him.

Clay cries on my shoulders, holding on to me as if I would disappear any minute.

"What's going on?" I asked him once he calmed down.

"I miss you A" I kept quiet, not wanting to admit that I miss him too.

He pulls away from me and cups my face. I closed my eyes, not wanting him to see right through.

Placing his hands on either side of me, he strikes it, sending my body a blaze. "I know you do too," He whispers against my ears then licks it, my knees going weak.

"You wish," I scoff, pushing him away from me to go pour myself a drink. He catches my hands and pulls me to him roughly.

"What's wrong with you? "

"What's wrong with me?, I could ask you the same, showing up at my place in the middle of the night. How do you even know where I live? "

"I told you I need you. That's all that matters. " This statement angered the shit out of me.

"Need me?, you didn't know you would when you choose Trisha over us, over me, over what we fucking had? "

"I'm sorry babe, I screwed big time. I know that please just give another chance"

"Why should I?" I cry, mentally cursing myself like that. He cups my face.

"Because I love you with everything in me and I'm sorry I screwed up." I say nothing, not knowing what to say.

"Give me another chance baby to prove myself to you," I nod hesitantly and he smashes his lips on mine. My body reacted instantly, and I kissed him back.

His hands traced my skin while my hands were in his hair. I broke away so we could catch our breath.

We stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do or say

"I love you," we both blurt out at the same time

He winks at me and walks away, "where are you going ?"

"Looking for the bedroom, I'm tired," he tells me and I grab his hands, leading him in the other direction where my bedroom is.

His striking blue eyes widen at the sight of my room but he says nothing. Instead of taking off his boxers and jumping into bed, I do the same. Feeling shy, he pulls me towards him, wrapping his arms around me.

Clay's sent relaxing me. He kisses my neck.

"Have you spoken to Emma? "

" no, you? "

"Same but I want her back. I want what we had and even better," he answers, and I knew he was being truthful. The question is, will she?

He kisses my neck and pulls me closer. Being in his arms made me sleepy. I let out an enormous yawn, and he chuckled.

"Baby, when was the last time you slept?" I didn't get time to answer before I fell asleep. I take naps here and there but I've never really had a good night's sleep since I broke up with him or Emma.

****

I was woken by the smell of pancakes, eggs and bacon. I hopped out of bed and followed the smell to the kitchen. There Clay stood making breakfast.

"Hey sexy. "

He turns around and starts fixing a plate before placing it in front of me. I had taken my seat around the island.

"hey"

he finishes and fixes his plate before coming to sit beside me

I peck at his lips. "Did you sleep well? "

"Yeah "

We continued the rest of breakfast in silence, except for my moaning at Clay's food. I forgot how good he was.

After we finished eating, we headed back to my room to cuddle since it's raining outside.

"How do we go about getting Emma back? "

I ask him

"I was thinking you could um talk to her "

"Why do I have to? "

"Because she'd be more mad at me. Trina is the one who brought up who the father of the child is and me being her bitch ran with it, even though I knew we were both in a three-way relationship."

I nod. He's right, I'm to be blamed though.

"we'll get our girl back. "

I kiss his sexy lips
