"I want to talk." He tried to push past her & she just blocked the door.
"I have nothing else to say to you, I think I made that clear last night." She looked at his cheek. "Nice cover up job by the way." She smirked still remembering slapping him.
"Jade let me in, I don't want to make a scene."
"No, now leave." She tried to keep her voice down.
"I can explain."
She laughed which caused him to give her a slight glare. "What is there is explain Punk? I caught you red handed. Oh no wait…I should of waited…what another 10 minutes & then I would have caught even more of the act?"
"It hasn't gone that far."
"Bullshit & we both know it. Even if it wasn't what I saw was plenty I don't give a damn at this point."
He went to push the door open again. "Jade let me in." He scowled at her "I don't want to talk about this out here."
"As I said before no, & there is nothing to talk about." She went to shut the door but his strength kept it open. "Leave Philip."
"NO, you're mine I am not letting you go."
"I am not some property you can claim when ever you like." Punk was still glaring at her when he quickly grabbed her by the arms pushing her back into the room almost causing her to stumble. Him holding her arms may have been one of the few reasons she didn't fall. "I am sick of airing our business in public." He kicked the door closed with his one foot. "You listen & you listen damn good. Nothing happened between me & Serena."
"You damn liar. What I saw was enough happening, if nothing happened after that it was because of god damn guilt." She tried glaring back at him. His hand trailed up her arm grabbing her shoulders. Her eyes closed shaking.
"I love you ba.."
"Don't you dare call me Baby…I am not your baby…I am not your anything at this point." She opened her eyes looking up at him "Let…me….go." She was trying to stop her voice from shaking.
"Not till you listen to damn reason." He tightened his grip when she tried to pull away. She closed her eyes her heart thumping in her chest. "So I had a moment of weakness."
"From what I picked up it had been a few." She fought to open her eye looking at him. "Was she the reason I couldn't reach you Valentines day? How soon after she joined you society did she get special lessons hmm PUNK!" Tears brimming her eyes.
"You set against me aren't you?"
"You brought it on yourself." She tried to pull free again but his just gripped tighter till he quickly pulled her against him her own arms wrapped around her. She tried to struggle. "Pu…Punk." She was panting heavy from struggling & fear. He leaned down kissing her shoulder &neck. She started to shake more tears falling her face. "Pl..please stop." He lifted his head closing his eyes cursing in his own head as he let her go. The lack of support she just dropped to her knees crying.
"Ja…Jade I'm so sor…"
"Ge…get ou…out." She said between sobs not lifting her head. "Get out now." Her body physically shaken he reached down to touch her help her up but she just gave a scream scooting away from him on the floor. "Don't touch me…don't fucking touch me! Just get the hell out of my sight you fucking bastard!" Punk hung his head slowly backing away from her before leaving her room. Hearing the door closed she just brought her knees up to her chest crying into them she hated feeling so helpless again. Out of anyone he should of known better then do that to her. He was just worried about his own wants.
Paul was just stepping off the elevator talking Shawn about dinner later when they saw Punk rush past them like a scolded dog mixed with a scared rabbit.
"What the hell was that about?" asked Shawn. "He late for something?"
"I don't know, but I don't like the look he had." Reaching Paul's suite he walked in placing his bag to the side pulling his phone from his pocket. He seemed to be debating placing a call.
"What's wrong?" Asked Shawn
"Just a feeling…I want to check on Jade, but I am not suppose to call her phone unless it is an emergency or a company matter."
"Is that written in stone somewhere?"
"Well, no…just sort of an agreement we had after everything that happened."
"Well put it this way you worried about her right?"
"Yeah."
"You both agreed it is time to move past what happened right?"
"Yeah."
"Your Family...right."
"Yeah."
"Then call her damned phone already man."
Paul nodded calling her phone. He tried not to get worried when she didn't answer.
"Maybe she isn't near it, all you know she could be busy."
"Busy with…never mind. I just don't like the look on Punk's mug when he went by us."
"Paul man you don't even know if she was on this floor or not."
Paul sighed lowering his head. "You're right Shawn. You're right."
"Now would she be petty enough not to answer the phone if she saw it was you?"
"I would hope not."
"How bout you give me her number & I'll try from my phone or you call the front desk & have them ring her room."
"Well if she isn't going to answer seeing it is me why would she answer the house phone with no way of knowing who it is?"
"OK then give me her number Trips." Paul nodded bringing up her contact info he handed it to Shawn, since it was her contract line for the company he knew it wouldn't be a problem. Shawn punched it in saving it first then dialing her. He tried not to get a worried look himself with her not answering. "How hard would it be for you to track her room number down?"
"I don't know. Being an officer I should be able to get it with some work. You worried about her now too?"
"Yeah, but let me try one more time. If she asked later why we kept calling just let her know we wanted her to join us for dinner. It the truth."
Shawn dialed her number again waiting for the voice mail again. Paul saw a look of relief on his face, but it then faded. "What's wrong Jade…I hear it in your voice hun. Talk to me what's wrong?…ok ok I understand, just calm down….ok I will what room you in…yeah just me hun." He hung up the phone looking at Paul. "I don't know what is going on Paul, she asked me to come down to her room. What ever happened she is having a hard time trying to keep it together over the phone. In case you didn't catch it she wants just me to come down. I guess she figured I may still be with you."
"OK Man, stop flapping your gums to me & go check on her please."
Shawn nodded heading out of Paul's room heading down to Jade's.
