The Jealous Ex - Chapter 4 - Jess
White. All I would see was white it was all around me, behind me, to my left, to my right, in front of me. Looking to my left I seen this one little bit of black in the corner of the room and it took me a couple of seconds but I figured out that it was Becker and he was asleep so he must of been here all night or if not then he must of been here for a good few hours to have fallen asleep.
Everything came back to me and how I ended up here "Becker?" I called out and the black shape shifted and in seconds Becker was standing over me smiling looking tired "How long have you been here?" I asked him looking over the clothes he wore yesterday or whenever I was awake last.
"It doesn't matter how long I've been here, are you OK? Do you want me to get the medic? Is there anything I can get you?" he asked looking concerned and worried about me which was really sweet, I declined his offers and he took a big breath as if he was scared to say the next thing "Jess I don't know how to tell you this but... Darren... he erm... he managed to get away. When he hit you over the head with the pole and you feel to the ground I rushed over to you and he ran out of the door, we looked for him but he had got away and I'm really sorry about this Jess I will get him back in custody... I promise" He looked down at the floor in shame.
He got away? Darren was not going to stop until he killed me I knew it and I needed someone... anyone to stop him before he does "Becker please get him... please because he will kill me" I told him and Becker grabbed my small smooth hand in his large rough hand "I mean it Becker, someone has to lock him behind bars so he can't hurt anyone else because he will Becker, if he kills me he will start on another girl and the cycle will continue... he needs to be stopped" I exclaimed and could feel myself welling up.
"I promise you that I will stop at nothing to find him and stop him... I will die before he does anything else to you" he promised and he kissed the top of my head "I'm going to go and get the medic" he stated and left the room.
Becker came back a couple of minutes later with the medic in tow and he started examining me and said that I could go home as long as there was someone there with me to keep an eye on me as I had a serious head injury and he also gave me prescribed pain killers for the pain and I was to take 2 every four hours for three days, then he gave me a doctor's note for sick time off work for a week.
I got home and Becker carried my bag in and he walked over to the sofa with me and made me a glass of water "I'm really sorry Jess but I have to go, there has been sightings of Darren and I'm going to go and see if I can find him, Emily said she will be here in half an hour... do not open the door at any costs unless you know for sure who is there OK? Just ring me if you need me" I nodded, he placed a kiss on my cheek and left.
Emily showed up half an hour later and she brought some movies with her and a take away for us to eat, she really has adapted to the 21st century really well "OK... so... you and Becker?" she questioned with a smirk on her face.
I shook my head at her "There is nothing going on between me and Becker, I mean he is really sweet and caring towards me but I don't think he cares about me like that. He has got major issues with girlfriends and stuff, I looked at his personal file and I know I'm not supposed to but I did and he doesn't have any romantic history... at all... nada, nothing, zilch" I shook my head and carried on eating my food.
"There is something there. He has feelings for you that maybe co-workers shouldn't have for each other but he does and I think he's too scared to act on those feelings in case you don't feel the same way" she told me and I guess I could see where she was coming from an outsiders point of view because me and Becker do spend a lot of time together and stuff and it's no secret that I have feelings for him, even Connor picked up on it.
"If I made a move on Becker do you think he will push me away, like, for example, if I was to kiss Becker do you think he will walk away from me and never speak to me again or do you think he will kiss me back?" I asked her.
She put her empty plate on the coffee table in front of me "I think if you kissed him he will want to take you to your bedroom and do a bit more then kissing" she said with a giggle "Is he coming back here tonight?" she asked out of curiosity.
I shrugged in response "I honestly have no idea" I stated and finished the last bit of food on my plate "Do you know what? Screw it. The next time I see Becker I am going to kiss him and just pray that he doesn't push me away and never speak to me again" I told her and my phone bleeped and I seen Becker's name flashed up on the screen;
I'll be at yours in an hour if that's OK; I need to talk to you about a couple of things
"Becker's coming round in an hour" I said panicked. "What do you think he needs to talk to me about? Do you think it's bad? Do you think it's about Darren...? Has he got away again? Has he been caught? Has he hurt someone else...? Why is Becker so evasive in text messages?" I practically screamed at Emily.
She grabbed the tops of my arms "Calm down Jess. Maybe he's coming here to tell you that he's got Darren in custody and nothing bad has happened... Well I'll go when he gets here and you and Becker can be alone" Emily said with a smirk on her face.
The doorbell rang an hour later and I opened it to see Becker standing on the other side with a smirk on his face "We got him" he stated and I threw myself into him and he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him with his arms wrapped around my tightly "He's not going to hurt you anymore I promise" I leaned back slightly and looked in his eyes for any sign of a joke.
Darren was gone and he was gone for good. He couldn't hurt me anymore and once again Becker had saved me and been my hero, I leaned into him and kissed him like I had never kissed anyone before in my life.
It took a few seconds but I realised that he was kissing back, we pulled away after a few moments and I took a gulp of air that was desperately needed and I smiled at him, I pulled him into the apartment "Hi Becker... Are you staying?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, I'm staying" he said looking at me with a smile, Emily said goodbye to us both and slipped out the door closing it behind us.
Me and Becker went over to the sofa where I grabbed him and pulled him down on the sofa with me as I kissed him with as much passion as I could, he was on top of me with his fingers tangled up in my hair "Why didn't I do this earlier?" I questioned and kissed him again, my hands went to his waist and the bottom of his top I looked up at him and he nodded so I tugged it over his head and soon enough the rest of our clothes were thrown on the floor and we were naked... on my sofa... I was about to have sex with Becker "Do it" I whispered huskily into his ear and he did.
Becker carried me to my bedroom and laid me down on the bed, he laid down next to me and pulled the covers over us so we were warm and he pulled me close to him and cuddled me "I cannot believe I finally have you" he whispered to me and kissed the top of my head "I'm not going to let you go and I'm going to keep you safe" he whispered and kissed me again but this time on the lips.
