Page 64 of Molly: Part One
“Right, ready?” he asks me. I nod and lift the side of my vest.
“You’re gonna need to take your top off Molly.”
I quirk my eyebrow at him, “now who’s the one trying to get who naked!”
“You won’t get the full impact if your top and bra are in the way.” I must look seriously shocked. “You can cover your front up still. You haven’t got to stand there totally naked and flashing me. Not that I’d complain of course.”
“Shut up Jax, I’m your boss!”
I turn my back to him and lift my top over my head. I remove my bra and throw it on to the sofa before gathering my top up and holding it in front of the girls, hiding them from view. “Better?” I ask turning back to him.
“Yes.” He grabs the sketch and holds it against my side. “What do you think?”
“I think I love it. You’re the only one that I’ve told about this, I haven’t even told Ryan I’m thinking of doing it.”
“Your secret is safe with me. Can you hold it and I’ll take a picture with your phone?”
“What the fuck are you doing? Get your fucking hands off her arsehole.”
Ryan’s shouting scares the shit out of me. I turn towards the door to see him storming our way looking murderous. Jax is still holding the paper to my side but he quickly screws it up and puts it in his pocket. Just as he pulls his hand out Ryan grabs his arm and throws him across the room.
“Ryan, what the fuck? Chill out. Jax wasn’t doing anything.”
“Then why the fuck are you both stood here half naked? I fucking told you he wanted in your knickers.”
“Dude that is not what is going on here. Molly’s my boss and like I said before I want nothing to do with her knickers. I was just helping her out with something.”
“What the fuck could you be helping her with that involves both of you being topless?”
Jax looks at me for help. I only just told him Ryan didn’t know but it looks like I’m going to have to tell him now though.
“Ryan,” I say walking over to him. “I want to get a tattoo and I was asking Jax to help me with the design because he has some experience with them, as you can see. He’s topless because I asked to look at his ink and I am because he was showing me what my design could look like. That’s it.”
“You’re getting a tattoo, since when?” Ryan voice has softened and his body has visibly relaxed.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I’ll explain later. Right now I’d like to put my top back on if you don’t mind. Turn around both of you,” I demand and watch them both do as they are told.
I’m just doing my bra up when I look to my left and see Ryan watching me in the mirror. His eyes meet mine and he quickly turns away looking embarrassed. I put my top on and turn around just as Abbi walks into the room.
“Abbi, I wasn’t expecting you,” I say walking over to her but she doesn’t even look at me, her focus is solely on Jax. I glance at him and see he is just as transfixed with her. I look back to Abbi to see her cheeks redden and her usually bright blue eyes darken. Wow, I could cut the sexual tension with a knife and they’ve only looked at each other.
I put my arms around Abbi and pull her in to a hug. “Close your mouth Abbi, you’ll start drooling in a minute,” I whisper in her ear. This seems to snap her out of it.
“Sorry. Who is he? He’s seriously hot,” she whispers back.
“Come with me and I’ll explain.” I pull away from her and look back to Ryan who is stood looking between his sister and Jax with a completely dumbfounded look on his face. “Ryan, pour us both a glass of wine and get Jax another beer. We’ll be back in a minute.” I grab Abbi’s hand and pull her downstairs with me to tell her who Jax is.
When we return to the boys they are sat on opposite ends of the sofa with scowls on their faces. I can’t help but think if something were to happen between Abbi and Jax, Ryan wouldn’t be too impressed.
“So, how come you came back early?” I ask Ryan.
“Liv had loads of work to do so we decided to come here. Abbi is staying until Saturday if it’s okay with you.”
“Of course it is, you know that. Have you guys eaten?”
“No not yet, we were gonna see what you wanted to do. Takeaway?”
“Yes perfect. Jax are you staying to eat? If you want to get drunk, you totally should by the way, you are more than welcome to stay the night.” I see Abbi’s eyes light up at this suggestion.
