Forever Love (Fghter Club 1) Read online

  He looked at her for a moment, ‘yeah please, I think we need to talk.’ She nodded at him and walked inside. James followed her and sat down at the table whilst she made them a drink. ‘Alexia I want to meet them,’ he said to her.

  ‘I’d worry if you didn’t after yesterday’s performance. When do you want to meet them?’

  ‘Today?’ he said hoping she’d agree.

  ‘Well you know what...I have an idea,’ she said looking at him, ‘but hear me out before you throw a wobbler.’ He was amused that after all this time she still knew him so well. ‘Two weeks today is the twins’ birthday and we are taking them to a Manchester United game and having a few friends there for a party. Every birthday when they blow out the candles....’ she started to cry, ‘they wish for their Dad to come home to them,’ she took a breath and he looked at her with a pained look and tears even threaten to leak from him, he took a deep breath and got himself under control. After a moment Alexia had gathered herself together and continued talking, ‘how about you come to the game and as they make their wish, you walk in and surprise them?’James sat and thought about it for a moment, ‘OK, I can agree to that,’ he said with a smile on his face. ‘Wow, this is going to be the longest two weeks of my life, I don’t think it’s sunk in yet that I’m a father.’

  Whilst drinking their drinks and looking at photos Alexia stood and really looked at James. ‘James how did you end up with this lifestyle? The fighting and becoming a loan shark, because I've got to be honest I'm not loving the idea of you been near the kids whilst you’re beating the hell out of people.’

  ‘That’s a fair comment, but you know me better than anyone Alexia. I'd never put those kids in danger or hurt them but to answer your question, anger is how I ended up with this lifestyle.’ Alexia looked at him confused and he moved to sit next to her and held her hand. ‘I was so angry, disgusted and ashamed of myself when you left me. I became angry and I mean really angry, then to top it off you wouldn't speak to me. I was always in trouble at university for fighting and one day one of the teachers said they were going to call my parents in and discuss my behaviour with them. Knowing that my parents worked from home the head teacher tried ringing whilst I was with them but there was no answer. I knew then that something was wrong as they always made a point of telling me when they were going out as you know. Anyway because there was no answer I went home and the nearer the stronger my gut feeling got something was wrong and I was right. I ran in through the front door and my aunt and uncle had been shot dead and were lying on the floor.’ Alexia gasped in horror and put her hand over her mouth and squeezed James’ hand with the other. ‘I then heard a noise coming from my dad’s office so I walked in thinking it was mum or dad phoning for help and found three men throwing things about. As soon as they spotted me they grabbed me and tied me to a chair and started asking me where the money was, of course I had no idea what they were talking about so they knocked me about a bit and left. Long story short that’s when I found out that mum and dad had gotten a loan from a loan shark and couldn't afford to pay it back. The guys who had gone round assumed that my aunt and uncle were my mum and dad. After that my anger just spiralled out of control, so my dad sent me to see one of his friends who ran an underground fight club so he could help me get my frustrations out in a more acceptable way and that's where it all started. I became very popular quite quickly because all my focus was on my fighting. I was winning every fight. I was making big money....I mean thousands some nights but I soon got a bad ass reputation and men wanted to take me on all the time. It went to my head and I loved the fact that I was powerful. God, I thought I was indestructible. All I had to do was look at someone and they would run. I was young and thought I was clever after all. One night I went out and a group of six guys started fighting me. I was doing well on my own until one of them smacked me over the head with a stool and that's when Sam and Matt came back into my life. Man you should see them, Sam is the violent but silent type, if you get in his face he'll just stand there and take it and then all of a sudden just knock you out. Matt is still the same loud, in your face, loves himself but hard as fucking nails. You look at him wrong and he’ll punch your nose to the back of your head. Anyway when I had managed to save a lot of money I wanted to help people who had been a similar situation as mum and dad so I set up my own loan company but didn't have the high interest that others do and I also had a repayment plan where they paid me what they could afford each month, so if they could only pay twenty pound one month then one hundred pound the next then fair enough. But people started taking advantage and treating me like an idiot. I did my books one month and saw that I had lent out nearly eight hundred thousand pounds and only fifteen percent of my customers were paying me back. I got Matt and Sam to come with me and visit people, I just wanted to shake them up a bit and start getting my money back but because of my bad ass reputation people started to fear me or fight me. So that’s how I ended up how I am today. I'm not proud of it Alexia but when you try to do something to help and they take the piss, you get very annoyed. To this day I have people owing hundreds of thousands of pounds to me.’ Alexia sat there with her mouth open shocked. ‘Well then, I need to pay my dads debt off to you then don't I.’

  ‘Alexia, I've already said no to you and I've written it off, I won't hear anymore of it,’ he said firmly and she knew not to push it when he was in that mood. ‘When are the kids coming home?’ He said whilst moving her hair out off her face.

  ‘Not for another three hours.’

  ‘Good,’ he stood up, took the cup out of her hand and put it on the side. Her breathing had already hitched up as she knew exactly what was going to happen.

  He grabbed her face and kissed her deep and passionately and she grabbed hold of his shirt to stop her falling. He pulled back and looked at her. ‘Where's your bedroom?’ She grabbed his hand and led him upstairs.

  ***********

  ‘MUM,’ the twins shouted as they came in through the front door. Alexia and James jumped out of bed. ‘FUCK,’ she whisper shouts. Looking horrified at each other at nearly being caught, James then smiled and put his hand over his mouth as he tried not to laugh out loud. Alexia glared at him whilst getting dressed quickly. ‘It’s not funny James!’ She ran to the door but before she opened it she stepped back to look in the mirror and noticed that she had her top on back to front and inside out. ‘Fuck,’ she mumbles to herself and as she sorted it out James went over to her, grabbed her face in his hands and kissed her hard on the lips. ‘Get them in the kitchen and I’ll sneak out,’ he says as he took a business card out of his pocket, ‘Here’s my number, call or text me about next week.’

  She smiled at him, ‘Ok, I’ll see you soon,’ and with that she ran out the door and downstairs. As she got to the bottom Tracy looked at her and did a double take, her mouth opened in surprise and she started pointing between her and the top of the stairs with a big grin on her face. Alexia grabbed her hand shushing her and tried not to smile but she was failing miserably. She told the kids to go and play outside and tried to push Tracy through the door to but she heard James coming downstairs. Alexia closed the door to stop the kids seeing him. Tracy smirked at them both and grinned at James. ‘Well Helloooooo Mr Lover man, I haven’t seen you for years.’

  James slightly nodded at her. ‘Tracy, how are you doing?’

  ‘Erm no time for small talk people, the kids will hear,’ Alexia waves her hand at James to shoo him out the door.

  ‘I’ll see you at Ben and Ambers’ party, oh and I’ll have Matt with me Tracy,’ he smirked and ran out.

  Tracy stumbled back and Alexia looked at her with her jaw on the floor. ‘OMG did he say Matt?’

  ‘Yes he did,’ Alexia said with a big smile on her face.

  ‘Oh god, what I am going to wear?’

  ‘Tracy you could wear a bin bag and it wouldn’t matter because we all know your clothes are going to end up on his bedroom floor,’ she smiled.

  ‘Oh I hope
so,’ she giggled.

  That night after Alexia had put the kids to bed she wanted to text James but couldn’t find a reason to. She knew she didn’t need one but she didn’t want to come across that she desperately wanted him, even though she did.

  She made herself a cup of tea and that’s when she saw her excuse lying on the kitchen table: the disks she had done for him. She went back into the front room to get her phone and she noticed there was a message from Facebook telling her someone had messaged her. She had a quick look and then searched for James but couldn’t find him, ‘Oooooo two perfect excuses to text,’ she said out loud to herself

  A: ‘You on Facebook?’

  James looked at the message and was confused as he didn’t know the number and then it clicked it was Alexia.

  J: ‘Yes, why?’

  A: ‘Can’t find you!’

  J: ‘And why would I want you as a friend?’

  A: ‘Cause I’m the mother of your children and as you left your disks here I want to tag you in my pictures.’

  J: ‘Well I think that’s a good enough excuse.’

  Before Alexia could think about it she texted him, ‘And because you love me.’ She shocked herself that she had sent it but held her breath waiting to see if he would reply and to her amazement he did.

  J: ‘Never stopped loving you Alexia.’

  She stared at the screen for a few minutes not sure of what to do and then she got a big grin on her face.

  A: ‘So tell me why can’t I find you on Facebook?’

  J: ‘Cause I’m on there as JT.’

  A: ‘OK, hold on.’

  A: ‘Found you, now get your arse on and accept me.’

  J: ‘And if I don’t?’

  A: ‘I’ll kick your arse!’

  J: ‘HAHAHAHAHAHA.’

  A: ‘Don’t laugh bitch, you taught me to fight!’

  J: ‘Shit! I forgot about that, Ha!’

  A: :-p

  J: ‘Done it, I tried to find you on here for ages but never found you.’

  A: ‘No me and the girls only joined when I moved here. Made sense with the new business to get with it and get ourselves on fb. I’ll tag you in some pics.’

  Alexia spent the next hour or so tagging James into her photos. As he sat in his office he watched all the notifications pop up. He went through them and so many emotions ran through him: happiness, sadness, anger, sorrow. The photos had made him realise he had missed so much and he was gutted but it helped that Alexia had taken a photo of them everyday and made sure she had taken plenty of them when something was going on e.g. Birthdays, Christmas, school plays, trips out, dance competitions, swimming badges. It was going to take him the full week to look at them but he didn’t care they were his children and he wanted to know everything there was about them. Alexia was nearly done when her phone pinged.

  J: ‘I’m sorry xxx.’

  A: ‘For what?’

  J: ‘You having to do that all on your own, I’ve missed so much, they look to be great, hard working kids. I’m so proud of them already. You have captured so much of their lives and I want to thank you as it eases the pain just a little.’

  A: ‘I’m sorry you missed out, I should have known it wasn’t like you to do something like that but just thought emotions were still running high. Yeah the twins are fab, I’m really proud of them. They rarely fight and are always getting compliments wherever they go about how polite and well mannered they are :-)’

  J: ‘I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to hold them in my arms xxx.’

  J: ‘Oh got to go, mother is ringing, she’s probably seen the photos and wants an explanation :-( xxxx‘

  A: ‘Ok see you later :-) xxxxx’

  A few moments later Alexia noticed she had three friend requests.

  A:’Oh! I have a friend request from your mum, sister and brother, is it safe to accept?’

  J: ‘Yes lol, Mum is going mental with excitement that she’s a grandmother and she even more ecstatic that YOU’RE the mother :-) xxx.’

  A: ‘Bless her, best I accept her then :-) xx.’

  Alexia accepted and logged off to go to bed, she lay in bed and after a few hours she decided to text James to see if he was awake. To her surprise he was and they exchanged messages for a while. She told him she wanted him really badly and that she hasn’t been with anyone the whole nine years since he broke her heart so he had opened up her body to sex again and now she found she couldn’t get enough. Thirty minutes later Alexia heard a knock at the front door, she looked out the window and saw it was James so she ran down to open it.

  ‘What are you doing here?’ she looked at him in his jeans and fitted light blue t-shirt which defined his muscles to perfection.

  ‘I’ve come to fill your needs baby,’ he said before he kissed her deeply. He picked her up and carried her to her bedroom. He laid her on the bed and they undressed each other in record time and looked into each others eyes.

  ‘I’ve missed you...thought about you everyday, I was lost without you Alexia and now I’m going to show you just how much,’ he whispered and took her mouth again. His mouth slowly moved down her body as he kissed her until he came to her nipples. He flicked them with his tongue and sucked on them making her cry out with pleasure. He moved down to between her legs and as soon she opened them he unleashed his fabulous tongue talent, licking and sucking her until she soon exploded, ‘Oh fuck, James...Oh god yes, yes, yes,’ she whisper shouts as she cried out, James continued licking her until her body stills from her orgasm. He moved back up and kissed her on her lips. Alexia flipped over so she is on top of him and moved her way down his body kissing and licking, lightly nibbling him until she comes to his lush cock which is throbbing. “Yum, my very own James Taylor lollipop again” she thought as she took him in her mouth all the way down, taking him deep into her throat.

  ‘Ahh god...fuck Alexia, that feels so fucking good, I never forgot the feeling of your mouth on me.’

  She locked her lips on him and sucked hard whilst flexing her tongue over his end. She stopped and started licking him and sucking his balls causing him to grab her hair and pull her head back. He then grabbed her arms and flipped her onto her back to climb on top of her and pushed himself into her hard taking her breath away.

  ‘Oh god, James...Yes...Fuck, you feel so fucking good.’

  He leant down to take her mouth and kissed her deep and hard whilst trusting in and out of her.

  ‘Oh god James, I’m gonna come...harder baby harder.’

  ‘Open your eyes baby, I wanna watch you as you come with me.’

  She opened her eyes to meet his.

  ‘Oh God James.....yes....oh god.....yes baby yes.’

  ‘Fuck Alexia....fuck, yeah baby.’

  He collapses on top of her, shuddering like a wild animal and they just lay and hold each other, absorbing each others passion.

  ‘I love you,’ he whispered in her ear. Her heart raced even faster and she smiled into his neck. ‘I love you too.’

  He pulled back and kissed her as if their lives depended on it.

  ********

  Alexia woke up the next day smiling and jumped out of bed when she noticed it was seven thirty and time to get the kids up and ready for school. James had gone home only a couple of hours ago so the kids wouldn’t see him.

  They all got up, dressed, made their beds and had breakfast and were ready in the space of an hour.

  Just as she was about to walk out the door she got a phone call from the Fight club saying they would like to offer her the Friday night contract so could she go in for a meeting to discuss. She sent a quick text to Tracy, Sarah and James:

  ‘Got offered the.....wait for it.....£1.5 million contract for the Friday night performances at the fight club, need to go in on Thursday to sign the contract...AAAARRRGGGHHH I’m so excited!!!’

  T: ‘OMG! Well done, that’s fab! Another excuse to celebrate in two weeks :-)’

  A: ‘Sure is my fabulous
lady.’

  S: ‘Waht contcted?’

  A: ‘Sarah have you been drinking? Or having sex with a sexy blond?’

  S: ‘It was the second one and you just woke me up after a very late night! But congratulations!’

  A: ‘Thanks! I want details!’

  J: ‘Oh god, I have to watch you dance in those skimpy clothes every Friday? That’s a real shame LOL. Congratulations by the way xxx.’

  A: ‘Yep :-), think you can handle that baby? Might put you off your fight. Thanks by the way, just taking the kids to school...can’t wait for next week cause I’m going to make you take them whilst I’m in bed! :-p’

  J: ‘Do I get to join you? xxx’

  A: ‘I’ll think about it. X ’

  J: ‘Tease...’

  A: ‘I know :-)’

  J: ‘I love you xxx.’

  A: ‘I love you too xx :-)’

  Saturday 3rd March had finally come around and Alexia was sitting in the front room with the twins while they opened their cards.

  ‘OH MY GOD,’ they shouted together as they read the note that Alexia had put in there about going to see Manchester United and having a party there. Over the next couple of hours they somehow managed to have breakfast, showers, get dressed and ready in all the excitement. Alexia had arranged with everyone to meet them there and Tracy was going to sort out James so he could surprise the kids. When they got there James was in a room nearby so can hear them shouting with excitement about being there and he smiles with a tear in his eye. Ben and Amber walked into the room to greet everyone with Alexia coming in behind them. Ben was wearing a black and white thin stripe shirt and black tie with black trousers looking very handsome, Alexia thought. Amber was wearing a really pretty pink dress with her hair in braids making her look like a little princess. Alexia was wearing a mint green maxi dress with a keyhole front and round neckline with nude heels shoes, with her swooping just over her shoulders, just how James liked it. She knew today would be the first family photographs she would have of them altogether and wanted them to be special. She greeted everyone and noticed how nice everyone else looked too and started taking pictures.
