I also started a new story its called Natalie Nobody. Its a story that actually just came to me, so you guys check that out! Thank you guys for all the reviews!
Eight months. It had been eight months since the first time that Gabriella laid eyes on Deckard Shaw. It had been two since they picked up and moved to Bora Bora. She loved it there. It was peaceful and quiet. She didnt mind being so far from the beach, she loved their little house. She loved being with him. Though they had their good, amazing moments, they also had their bad moments as well. Most of the time, the bad moments turn into some amazing sex afterwards but she hated him sometimes. She hated the fact that he knew everything about her but yet she didn't know a lot about him. All she knew was what she was told and she couldn't really tell him any of that without giving Mario and Gavin away as well. She had been keeping her distance from Mario knowing Shaw didn't like him too much. Of course he was why they were fighting right now. Gabriella rolled her eyes as Shaw slammed the books on his desk. She wasn't going to argue with him about a boy she has nothing to do with. It was always going to be able him. No matter about the first fight they had, Gabriella thought it was the end. But yet here they were arguing about the same damn thing. "You are the one who has him watch my every move. What would you like me to do, Shaw?"
"It was my mistake." He eyed her knowing he didn't like it when she called him that.
"Yes, it was. And if you would get your head out of your ass for two seconds, you would see that I don't care about him at all."
"My head out of my ass?" He pushed the books off the desk. She watched as they hit the floor before looking up at him.
"You are real mature." She spat before walking out the room.
"Don't you dare walk away from me!" He yelled after her. She continued to walk away, she walked straight out the front door. "Gabriella!" He yelled. She shook her head as she continued ignoring him.
"Go ahead, sends your goons after me!" She yelled. She kicked her shoes off and ripped her shirt off. She was wearing a tank top underneath. She turned back towards him and glared before taking off running. There was a beach about a mile down the road from them, he couldn't find a house on the beach this time. Maybe it was a good thing, maybe when a storm came, they didn't have to pack up and move because of all the damage. As she ran she put her hair in a ponytail. She was fuming. He was so jealous of Mario, it was ridiculous. She never looked at Mario that way, she never really noticed him even when he worked for her back in San Diego. He was just there. She sighed as she turned down the street, she could see the beach. She smiled as she began to run faster. She felt her feet hit the sand just as Shaw tackled her. Her body hit the sand hard as she leaned up and looked at him in disbelief. "Are you fucking serious?" She yelled jumping up amd shoving him backwards. She shoved him again as she noticed he had a smirk on his face. He grabbed her arms as she went to shove him again. He slammed her against a tree as he was inches from her face.
"When someone tells you to stop, you do it." He spoke between his teeth.
"I don't like being told what to do, especially when that person is being an asshole." She spat back. He chuckled. He pushed his body against hers. She had nowhere to go, she couldn't even move as he held her arms behind her back. She took in a breath as he moved his lips to hers. "You can let me go now."
He shook his head. "What you think we are just going to have sex right here and all is forgiven?"
He nodded his head. "Not going to happen." She turned her head away from his. He chuckled as he released her. She shoved him again before walking away. She knew what would piss him off. She looked around the beach, there wasn't a soul around. She turned back to him before removing her shirt.
"What exactly are you doing?" He asked walking towards her. She didn't respond as she smiled at him before removing her pants. "Gabriella," He warned her. She turned around and walked straight to the ocean. She let her feet hit the water before turning back to him. She unbuckled her bra and let it fall to the ground. "GABRIELLA!" She laughed to herself as she walked into the water. She let it go up to her shoulders as she looked back at him. He was fuming as he walked towards the water. He removed his shoes and pants before taking his shirt off. He walked into the water as she swam away from him. "You think Mario is watching us now?" She asked as she swam off. She knew that would piss him off. He took off after her, grabbing her foot and pulling her back to him. She tried to get away but he tightened his grip on her. He was glaring at her as she put her arms around his neck. "You don't like that do you?" She asked. He didn't respond. "I don't like that you think I would be with someone else. It's been a year and you can't even trust me."
"I do trust you." He told her. The water hit her in the mouth as he lifted himself up a little.
"No, you don't or it wouldn't cross your mind." She placed her lips on his and kissed him. It was gentle and sweet. The water hit them in the face as he continued to kiss her. It wasn't forceful or as passionate as they have been, but it was sweet. She needed him to know that she was with him and only him. She pulled away as she pushed away from him and laid on her back. She let the waves rush over her as Shaw grabbed her from underneath and held her there. She closed her eyes.
They had stayed like for a while, he just carried her around as she floated there in the water. She leaned up as he let her go, she lifted herself up wrapping her arms around his neck to kiss him when she felt a sharp pain in her foot. "AH!" She screamed as she felt her body go under water. She struggled to get to the top as the waves crashed down on top of her. A pain shot through her foot again. She felt her body being jerked from the water as Shaw jerked her into his arms and took off running towards the shore. He laid her down on the sand. "My foot!" She yelled. She felt like she was going to throw up as she tried to roll to her side. He began messing with her foot before he lifted her in the air again. He ran passed the clothes. She didn't care that she was half naked. Her entire foot was on fire. He ran the entire way back to the house. Gavin flew open the door with a concerned look on his face.
"I need some alcohol, Mario go run the bath, I need the water to be hot. Gavin, I need you to call the doctor and get some antibiotics. She was stung by a sea urchin. MOVE!" He yelled when he noticed no one was moving. He laid her down on the couch as she covered herself with a blanket. He hadn't notice she didn't have any clothes on. She looked up at him as she began to tremble. She was freezing. "I am going to get the spikes out of your foot."
"It's so cold in here." She stuttered. "Why the hell is the air on so low?"
Shaw laughed as she began to laugh too. "Here you go." Gavin gave him the alcohol and some tweezers.
"This is going to hurt." Shaw told her as she nodded her head. She made sure her body was covered as Gavin walked over. She grabbed his hand as he looked over at Shaw, he wasn't paying much attention to them. Shaw began to pull out the spikes causing her to jump. she flinched at each one he removed. He made eye contact with her as tears filled up her eyes. Her foot was still on fire as he pulled the last one out. She let go of Gavin's hand as Shaw lifted her in the air. He rushed into the bathroom and placed her in the bath tub. She hissed as the hot water hit her skin but it soothed her foot. She leaned her head back as she looked over at Shaw. He knelt down at her side her rubbing his hand through her hair. "Better?" He asked. She nodded her head. She kissed the top of his hand before closing her eyes.
"Shaw." Gavin was standing at the door. She felt Shaw release his hand. She didn't bother opening her eyes as she laid in the bath tub. "The doctor said to put vinegar on it and give her a Benadryl every six hours. He said it will swell and be swollen for about two days. But you did the right thing by removing the spikes. I will head to the store to get the medicine."
"Thank you, Gavin." Shaw replied. This caused Gabriella to open her eyes and look over at them. "I know she values you as a person, so I thank you for looking out for her."
"My pleasure, sir." Gavin nodded his head. Gabriella was in shock. She quickly turned her head back before Shaw walked back over to her. She looked at her foot, it was swelling.
"My foot is fat." She replied as she lifted it from the water. Shaw laughed as he leaned down to her. "Look at it, its huge."
"You ready to get out?"
She nodded her head at him. He helped her to her feet before lifting her up in his arms. He grabbed the towel from the rack and placed it around her body. "Shaw, where are your clothes?" She asked noticing he was still in his boxes. She began to laugh as he looked down.
"They are with yours back at the beach because someone decided to piss me off and go skinny dipping in the ocean."
"Oh." Was all she could reply before she laughed again. He jerked her in the air as she let out a squeal before laughing again. "Well go put something dry on." She finally replied as he laid her in the bed. She was fully naked as she pulled the covers over her.
"No." He replied jerking them back. "You need to elevate your foot."
"Yes, doctor." She smirked at him as he looked down at her.
"Keep it up." He warned her. She giggled as she turned her head to hide from him. He used two pillows to elevate her foot before pulling the blanket over her body. Gavin had returned when she looked at the door. He was standing there with water and a pill in his hand.
"Hey, Gavin!" She laughed again. He walked over to her shaking his head. "What if I don't want to take it?"
"You are taking it, it will help with the pain." Shaw replied. He was in the closet getting dressed. She smiled at Gavin as she took the medicine from him and downed it before setting the water on the table. "Thank you." She replied. He nodded his head at her before he left the room. Shaw walked back over to her and sat down next to her. "Um, if I am sleeping so are you." She replied. He shook his head with a laugh before climbing over her. He didn't get underneath the covers but he did bring her into his arms.
"Don't you ever do that again?"
"What? Get stung by a sea urchin?"
He growled in her ear. "Get undressed in public."
"Oh." She laughed. "You had fun, so don't you dare pout."
He tightened his grip on her as she closed her eyes. He kissed the side of her neck causing her to smile. "If you are wanting to do this now, I would hurry up because this medicine is going to kick in in about fifteen minutes."
He began to laugh, a laugh she hadn't heard before which caused her to open her eyes and look up at him. "You think that is all I want from you?"
"It's all I want from you." She replied. He tickled her side causing her to squirm beneath him.
"I'm just glad you are okay." He told her.
"Did I scare you?"
"You went under that water, I do not know what happened to you. At first I thought you were joking…"
"I'm fine." She cut in. "No need to worry anymore." She yawned as she felt him scoot closer to her. She closed her eyes letting the sleep take over. "I love you." He whispered just as the darkness took over.
It was hours later when she finally decided to wake up. Shaw was still beside her, reading when she looked up at him. "How are you feeling?" He asked setting the papers to the side.
"What is it that you are always reading?" She lifted herself up. He pulled her into his arms.
"Its just some papers, nothing too important. How is your foot feeling?"
"It's still burning a little." She removed the blanket from her naked body and saw her foot. It was still swollen. She looked up at him with a concerned look. "Is it supposed to be that big?"
"Yes." He replied with a soft smile. "It's just the poison, it should go down during the night."
"It doesn't look right." She moved it up and down. "It weighs a lot." Shaw laughed as he lifted her up and pulled her on to him. He had never put on a shirt, just sweatpants when he decided to get dressed in the closet. She loved looking at his body. She never saw him work out but he must do it often to be this fit. She had never really liked hair too much but on him it was perfect. She ran her hand down his chest before she kissed along the trail she had made. She rested her head on his chest as he began to run his hands through her hair.
"You are still tired?" She didn't know if it was a question or if he was telling her. She didn't respond as she closed her eyes. Yes she was definitely still tired. Her foot was throbbing and all she wanted to do was kiss the man she loved, but her body was fighting her. She drifted back to sleep with in minutes.
"Baby," Shaw was whispering in her ear when her eyes fluttered open. She moved slightly noticing she was still laying on top of him. "You've been asleep for five hours, maybe you should get up."
"No." She groaned. He ran his hand down her back before running them up and down her butt. Her body responded to that as a smile creeped on her face. "Stop it." She mumbled. Though she would be lying if she wanted him to stop. She lifted her head up and looked at him. He had reading glasses on. She didn't know why but that really turned her on. She jumped up and planted her lips on his causing him to chuckle beneath her lips.
"You are not a in position to be doing this." He grabbed her shoulders. She glared at him as he moved her on to her back. She leaned up to kiss him again but he moved away. "You need food."
"No!" She spat. "I do not need food!" She kicked her legs like a child. Shaw looked down at her before her jerked her up into his arms. "Oh."
"What do you want me to do? You want me take you like this," He jerked her head forward and kissed her. He moved his tongue around in her mouth before biting down on her bottom lip. He moved his lips to her cheek, over to her ear, where he just sucked on it. Gabriella felt weak. "Or this?" He grabbed her butt and lifted her into air where she wrapped her legs around his waist. "Or do you just want me to take you?" He threw her back on the bed as her eyes widened. She didn't know what was about to happen but she was ready. She bit her bottom lip as he got off the bed, he grabbed her by her ankles and pulled her to the end where her ass was nearly hanging off. A pain shot threw her foot.
"Ow." She whined. Shaw released her as she sat up. "No, it was a good ow." She told him when she noticed her wasn't going to do anything to her. "Shaw, I'm not hurt."
"You are injured. You need to keep that foot propped up. I will go get you some more medicine."
"I don't want anymore damn medicine." She pouted. "That was not fair and you know it."
"Hm." He smiled at her. "Giving you a taste of your own medicine."
"Whatever." She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him.
"You are beautiful when you are angry." He smiled at her before leaving the room. She picked the magazine he was reading and threw it at the door. She groaned as she laid in the bed. She was still completely naked, her foot was swollen. He did this on purpose. He knew she couldn't get out of the bed to put on clothes and follow him down the hall. She was going to prove him wrong.
Thirty minutes later she had finally gotten her clothes on as she stumbled over to the door. She held herself up praying no one came through the door, she would be on her ass in a second. She opened the door and peered out before she exited. She held on to the wall to brace herself up before she took one step at a time. He should be finished making her dinner by the time she would make it to the kitchen but she still went. She came around the corner and saw him staring at her, he still had his glasses on. "Are you fucking kidding me?" He asked throwing the spoon down on the counter. She hide her face from him to keep him from seeing her laugh.
"You were taking a long time." She lied. She tried to fix her face but she couldn't help but begin to laugh. He moved over to her as she backed away. "I am injured, so you better not touch me."
"I am going to give you five seconds to get your ass back to the room." He warned her.
"It's going to take me more than five seconds, it literally took me ten minutes just to get here." She smirked.
"Gabriella," His face was hard. She couldn't tell actually if he was mad or not. She thought about it for a second, yeah she didn't care. He was going to try and run her life. "One." He began to count as she just stood there. She didn't think he was serious. He couldn't be serious. "Two." He moved closer to her. "Three." She moved backwards, she beginning to run out of room to hold herself up. She continued to stare at him.
"Shaw." She finally spoke. She moved her hand behind her back trying to feel for the wall as he continued to walk towards her. She was completely defenseless. Her hands began to shake.
"Four. Gabriella, if I get to five, you will be sorry."
"Five." She replied as her back hit the wall. Her eyes widened as Shaw was in her face. She didn't have anywhere to go as she tried to stay focused on him. Her breathing became unsteady.
"You enjoy disobeying me?" She nodded her head at him. He was inches from her face.
"Gabriella." Mario was standing in the doorway. Shaw pulled away as he took a sharp breath in. "I found something." He was holding something in his hand. Shaw moved away from her as Mario walked over with the object and handed it to her. "I guess it was lost in the move." She looked down at the phone in his hand. She shook her head looking over at Shaw who went back to cooking the food.
"Why?" She whispered. "Why would you do this?"
"You lost it, I thought you would want it back. It has your family-"
"I know what it has on it. Did you take this from me?" She was hurt. She felt her heart breaking.
"No, I found it."
"You need to leave." She told him as she pointed to the door. "You need to leave. I don't know what you are trying to do but this is just wrong. Who does this to someone?"
"Gab..."
"No!" She yelled. "I don't want it and I don't want you here." She stumbled forward as Mario went to catch her. "NO!"
"She told you to leave." Shaw was standing next to him with Mario's wrist in his hands. She could see the pain on Mario's face as Shaw tightened his grip. " I would suggest you get the hell out of here." Mario let go of Gabriella who had her head turned away from him.
"Stop!" Gabriella yelled. "Let him go!" She was fuming. She refused to look at him as she heard the phone drop to the floor and the door open.
"I'll be right back." Shaw went to follow him but she stopped him.
"No!" She yelled. "Just stop!" She put her foot down on the floor, pain shot through it but she didn't care. "You let him go." Tears began to stream down her face as Shaw just stared at her. "You cant kill everyone that you have a problem with, Shaw. I will not be with a killer, do you hear me?"
"Let me help you." He tried to grab her arm but she jerked away shaking her head. She moved slowly towards their room as she held the phone to her chest. It took her longer to get back but she didn't want him to see her like this. She shouldn't even be feeling this way but it hit her. It had been over a year since she had seen her brother. She hadn't really thought about them for months now and that broke her heart. She opened the door and stumbled over to her bed. She climbed in and curled into a ball as she held the phone tight against her. She cried herself to sleep that night.
She didn't know what time it was when she opened her eyes. Her eyes were hurting from all the crying she did earlier. She rolled over to a sleeping Shaw and ran her hand down his face. She looked down at the phone that was still in her hand. She placed it on the side table and leaned up. She felt his hand on her back as she slowly turned to face him. "I hadn't thought about them in so long." She bowed her head. "Did I forget them?" Tears flowed down her face. "I didn't want to forget them, they mean everything to me." He leaned up bringing her into his arms. She sobbed into his chest.
"What do you want me to do?" He asked.
"What?" She asked pulling away from him. She wiped her face as he moved her hair from her face.
"What do you want me to do?" She shook her head not knowing what he meant. "Would you like to see them? Will that make you feel better?"
"I don't understand what you saying to me right now."
He sighed. "I am asking you if you would like to see your family and if you would, I can have the jet ready for you to go tomorrow. You wont make it until the next day but you can go there. It will then be your choice whether you come back or not." Her breath caught in her throat.
"You are letting me go?" She asked. He nodded his head.
