Chapter 117

Cheyenne rushed out, too choked up to say anything. She sneaked into Romeo’s bedroom, making sure he was ok, she turned to Jon’s room to get dressed and get the hell out of the house.

How could they ever build a relationship on mistrust?

Cheyenne walked out on the balcony, the moon shining over Navesink river, a light breeze lifting her hair from her face. Tears ran freely down her cheeks.

God it hurts…why does loving him hurts..so damn much?

Richie and Jon had a good heart to heart. Something they haven’t done in a while. They gave each other a brotherly hug and Jon went back to the bedroom to see if he had the guts to tell her how he felt and if she even wanted to speak to him.

He walked into the room, his heart pounding in his chest.

Thank God she’s still here…

She was standing on the patio, moonlight spilling over her, a light breeze lifting her curls…her sobs ripped at his gut…

“Baby…”

Cheyenne turned around, wiping the tears from her face…

‘Jon I….”

“Sssshhhh….it’s my turn now” He pressed his fingers softly to her lips.

“I have so damn much to say to you. I want to apologise for paying you to sleep with me….fuck I don’t want to apologise cause then I would have never met you…Oh God…”

He pushed his fingers through his hair. She noticed how shaky his hands were.

He turned around and sat on a patio chair, pulling her with him. She stood in front of him looking down.

“I treated you like shit from day one…You deserved so much more. The day you left me in Vegas, It felt like I was dying…The day I found out you were attacked, took years from my life…I couldn’t lose you so when I saw the opportunity I took you home with me..keeping you close. Baby, the thing with Dot nearly killed me. I was to blame as well, but I never thought she would get someone else…so I’m not good at trusting people right now….ooh fuck I’m babbling….what I’m trying to say is …..I love you...”

He gripped her around the hips and pulled her closer, looking up to her astonished face.

“Oh fuck I love you so much I want to suffocate …” He pushed his face into her robe…groaning….

Her hands moved into his hair, massaging his scalp. Her heart was pounding and she felt faint.

Blue eyes looked up at her…seeking an answer from her brown pools.

She pulled him up by the hands, staring into his gorgeous face.

“I thought I’d never hear those three little words….God Jon I love you too….”

Her voice was a whisper, he took her face in his hands and sealed their newly found love with the gentlest kiss he ever gave her..
