Every night I rush to my bed

With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you

When I close my eyes I'm going out of my head

Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?

I grabbed a spare towel on the side and ran my wet blonde hair through it. It had been just over and hour since I got home and nearly had a heart attack due the deep sense of guilt I felt and the knock on the door.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

There it was again, it was probably Butch. I sucked in a breath "yes?"

"It's me" butches voice echoed through the thin apartment walls. He told me to lock my door at all times. I rolled my eyes he worried about me, of course he did, but he'd never admit it would he? I sighed. What is it with men and pride?

"hello there" I smiled at him sweetly. He looked pissed and I thought I knew why. Ace had told him he saw me on my own in that dingy apartment all alone, well not alone. Bucth's dark eyes were narrow.

"bubbles?…" He closed the door behind him as he entered my apartment. I felt jumpy. I was a terrible liar and a terrible actress. He took notice of my stiff movements and gave me a weird look.

"what's up with you?" he asked "and why the hell did Ace tell me he saw you on your own today in that building of all places? Why were you there?" he asked me harshly.

" I just went for a walk after work I've had a headache all day" silence.

"you took a walk in a more dangerous part of town, in a random apartment?" his tone was cocky and his eyes were angry and suspicious.

"don't lie to me bubbles"

He could read me like a book. Was I really that see-through?

"bubbles.." his deep voice growling

"can you just drop it? I went for a walk, God butch give me some space! nothing bad would have happen to me in those few seconds I don't need you to be my bodyguard, just because I'm a girl doesn't make me incapable! I can look after myself! I'm not weak you know" I snapped panting and slightly out of breath my face felt hot and he smirked at me. I knew that look. I blushed pink.

"you're cute when you're angry" he said with a grin on his face, scooting over towards me. I smiled and rolled my eyes.

……………

The next morning I awoke comfy and warm in butch's arms. Our bare bodies were still sweaty from last night and it had settled on our skin. I needed to use the bathroom but as I went to move his grip on me tightened, unconsciously he pulled me closer to him, spooning me. I looked behind me, his eyes were still closed and he was asleep I kissed him twice on the cheek and he slowly opened one eye to look at me.

"good morning sleeping beauty" I teased him. He rolled his eyes I laughed at his response. He took his arm and flipped me over so I was facing him, my bed squeaked as he did, and he rolled over so he was on top of me, he shuffled all his weight to his elbows so that he didn't crush me.

"morning" he voice was rough and husky with sleep, he kissed my neck and I breathed in his musky scent.

My hands came up to smooth down and stroke his bare back, I could feel his muscles were relaxed. My mind slipped back so the nightmare I had last night, I frowned.

Stan's face was laughing, mocking butch "that's right, I was with your girl last night, all night long.." Stan gave butch a knowing look raising his eyebrows at him. Butch knew what he meant. I knew Stan and butch were enemies I honestly loathed myself for what I had done with that man. My heart sank when I looked at butch, surprisingly he hadn't lashed out. Butch's face was drawn blank, he truly did not want to believe it, he looked at me searching for the truth in my eyes, I felt like crying, I would lose him, I couldn't say a word. I couldn't speak.

He turned his sight to Stan "your lying." butch's tone was rough and threatening. Stan was scowling and then smirked "ask her yourself" the walls were crashing in around me I had ruined everything.

I looked butch in the eyes, he looked heartbroken but was doing his best to hide it, as if only the look in his eyes wasn't enough to make me cry, the sadness, the disappointment came crashing down on me and I broke, a tear streamed down my face.

"what's wrong?" butch was looking down at me.

"nothing, I just, I had a bad dream last night" I look up at him with a sad smile. Poor butch, how could I have done what I did ? I loved him, no one else but him.

He looked almost sympathetic and he kissed my lips.

"well I'm here now" another kiss "I'll protect you" I pulled him down onto me and hugged him, he sunk his face in the side of my neck and I heard him breath in deeply.

I melted into his form and I could feel his lips smirk, I smiled.

………..

"are you worried about him?" I asked butch, he just shook his head "he's always been the same, he'll be fine. He always is" Butch's younger brother had been out late drinking again as usual not knowing his limits with alcohol, and ended up in a fight.

I hoped he was ok, he seemed the softest of out the three sawyer brothers, not that any of them were soft, they were feared by many.

The wind was kicking up as it whistled through the rough city streets, we were on our way to work, the dinner should be packed today I was standing out side the dinner door.

"I'll see you later then" I swung my arms around his neck and his arms came up around my back to return the hug. He then turned and walked down the street on his way to the garage were he worked.

The dinner was already busy so I got to work straight away, there were a few rough looking people that came in, but I froze when I heard a familiar voice, I turned to see the shady looking man leaning casually in a booth. Ace.

"I'll have a coffee please doll" he smiled slyly. I nodded at him avoiding his eye contact at all cost

"how are you bubbles? Not getting into trouble I hope?" he gave me a knowing look grinning at me. He's such an ass.

"why would I be in trouble?" I replied. He shrugged

"just thought I'd ask" he said with that shady grin of his.

"I'll get your coffee" I turned my back to him and walked straight into the kitchen, then headed back to him.

As I was pouring out a cup for him he spoke up "I want a word with you, seems as I know a certain secret of yours" he smirked "I have a proposition for you its nothing big just a favour to me." I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stick up, I knew ace wasn't the kind of man to trust, I could ignore him, but what if he told butch I was with someone that day I ran into him? The day when I was just leaving Stan's apartment. I had no other option than to hear him out.

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Either way I don't wanna wake up from you

A/N: chapter three up! I was unsure to continue but I picked up on where I want to go with this story and I've got a slightly better idea where to go with it. I welcome constructive criticism to help me improve, and thanks for reading.

I understand that people will not like the fact that bubbles cheated on butch but you DON'T have to link this with 'Turn Out The Lights Turn Up The Volume' if you don't want to, not much happened in this chapter but alot more will happen in the next i promise

thanks again =)
