A gasp came from behind Gavin so he looked over his shoulder and groaned. “Bronagh... let me explain.”
“You pal around with Jason? As in Jason Bane!” Bronagh asked, her eyes wide.
Gavin hung his head. “Yeah, he's a mate now.”
Bronagh lost her head.
“How can you be friends with Jason Bane? He was horrible to me in school, you know that!” she shouted.
“He fucked me over, you know that as well!” I growled reminding Gavin that Jason Bane was not favoured by us girls.
He was a wank stain.
“I'm beginnin' to feel like I'm not welcome here.”
No. Fucking. Way.
We all turned our attention to the doorway of my sitting room and gaped.
“Nice to see everyone, too,” the bastard himself smirked.
I didn't understand how or why he was here.
“You... get out. Right now!” I snapped.
Jason held his hands up in front of his chest. “Fine. I don't need to be told twice. I'll get me coat.”
He turned and walked into my sitting room as Brandon and Micah exited the room. Ryder, Nico, and Kane walked out of the kitchen and joined the rest of us in the hallway.
“I'm guessin' the party is over.” My uncle grinned.
I rolled my eyes. “Just leave. I'll talk to you later.”
My uncle chuckled, then walked over and kissed my forehead, before he nodded to everyone else and walked out of my house. Micah didn't look at me as she followed. Gavin walked out behind them and Aideen ran out after him shouting and demanding he listen to her.
I groaned, “Go, make sure she doesn't kill him.”
Bronagh, Branna and Alannah were already out the door, and the brothers were right behind them. I shook my head and went into my sitting room where I found Jason sitting on my sofa.
I saw red.
“Get. Out,” I snarled.
He stood and sighed. “We can't talk then?”
Talk?
“About bloody what?” I asked.
Jason shrugged. “You look good.”
I narrowed my eyes. “Don't you dare.”
“I can't say you look good?” Jason grinned.
“I don't know what game you're playin', but knock it off and leave.”
I was surprised when Jason closed the space between us and slid his hands around my waist. My reflexes weren't quick enough—scratch that they were worth shite because I froze as Jason kissed me.
He. Kissed. Me.
This bastard destroyed me three years ago, he was married to my cousin and now... now he fucking kissed me?
I saw no logic in that.
None.
I yanked my head back from Jason and screamed.
I don't know if I screamed words, or just made noise.
I tried to push away from him, but he was pulled from me with a force that caused me to stumble. I regained my footing and looked to Jason... who was being pulled away from me by a furious looking Alec.
Fuck.
“Alec!” I screamed and jumped backwards when he speared Jason to the ground.
I reached for Alec's shoulder in the hope I could pull him off Jason, but there was too much movement and I was not risking getting hurt to save Jason from a few punches that he bloody well deserved. I stood back and continued to shout at the pair to stop. I screamed for Bronagh when I spotted her at the sitting room doorway.
“Get Dominic!” I yelled.
She frantically nodded her head then turned and ran out of the house.
I looked back to Alec and Jason, and noticed Jason was now somehow on top of Alec and throwing punches at his face. I wasn't sure if one of them broke through Alec's guard or not, but I wasn't risking it. I jumped on Jason's back and wrapped my arms around his neck.
“Stop it!” I shouted into his ear.
Jason violently pushed his body back and I fell off him and onto the floor with a thud.
“Keela!” Alec screamed then turned his attention back to Jason. “You motherfucker!”
I groaned on the floor as I held onto my throbbing shoulder. I took in a few breaths and sat upright. I stumbled as I got to my feet, and rolled my shoulder to make sure it wasn't seriously injured. It hurt, but it moved so I knew the worst that would come from my fall would be a bruise.
I looked back down to Jason and Alec. Alec was back on top, and I felt like they were just about to break apart. I was preparing myself to jump in-between them, but when Gavin appeared at the doorway of my sitting room and narrowed his eyes at Alec and Jason, I gasped. Gavin shot into the room and kicked Alec in the side at full force. Alec hunched forward a little, but he jabbed his right hand out and caught Gavin in the stomach causing him to double over in pain.
“That's what you get!” I bellowed and rushed at him.
I shoved him in the chest and knocked him onto his back on the floor. He groaned and held onto his stomach and dry heaved.
“Don't you dare get sick on the new floor you prick!” I screamed.
“Keela?” Nico's roar sounded from outside my house.
I shoved Gavin back down when he tried to get up.
“Sittin' room!” I shouted.
I turned back to Jason and Alec when a glass shattering sound rang throughout the room.
I gasped.
My glass vase was shattered into hundreds of pieces on the floor, and the flowers Mr. Pervert got me were tangled in the glass shards.
“You bastard!” I shouted at Jason who was pushing himself up off the floor. Alec was also trying to get up, but the water on the floor from the broken vase caused him to slip. Jason got to his feet and angled his body at Alec. He reached for the clock that was sitting on top of my fireplace and raised it above his head.
He was going to hit Alec in the head with it.
I screamed in horror.
I felt a rush of wind brush by my body then all of a sudden Nico was there, standing between Jason and Alec. Nico knocked the clock out of Jason's hands and punched him directly across the jaw knocking Jason on his arse. The relief I felt when Jason was disarmed hit me full force, and I burst into tears. I quickly moved to Alec and helped him to his feet. He was wet from the vase water, but also groaning in pain and it worried me.
