Precious Bond Ch 2. Promises

JAX.

“Fucking hell,” Leo growls as he tosses the

phone he just hung up onto the table and runs

his hand through his hair. I cock a brow, exchanging looks with Jin.

“You’re going to have to step up soon,” Jin says

quietly.

The six of us are chilling together. It’s been a week or so since we’ve all been back home.

“I didn’t want this, nor did I expect it so soon,” Leo says, sitting forward and resting his elbows on his knees.

“No one sane wants this, but when things come your way, you gotta do what you gotta do. Alejandro knows he can rely on you.” Ace says, picking up Leo’s cigarette packet and offering him one. Leo takes one and Dan leans over lighting it for him.

“See? You’re already getting all this shit done for you, you’re king material already.” I joke, trying to lighten the mood. (1)

than he’s letting on.

“What are you afraid of?” I ask the question the

other four want to raise.

Li-Sheng looks up from where he’s sitting on a

couch that is towards the back of the room. Leo

tenses for a moment, taking a drag on his cigarette and shakes his head.

“Nothing.”

Ace cocks a brow. “Nothing? That shit ain’t

true.”

Leo sighs. “You guys are f**king bastards. Stop pushing me to answer that shit, then.” 2

“That ain’t a f**king option. Now spit it out.” I

say.

“That f**ker thinks I can take the reins better than he can, but the fact is he won’t just sit back. He’ll dive into all this shit that’s going on and he is the f**king glue that holds the Rossi family together. If anything happens to him…”

Leo mutters. 8

I can’t help but smirk. “Damn, is Leo actually worried for his uncle, and cares about the Rossi

family? Shit,” I tease.

He gives me a scathing glare. “Fuck that shit, do you want me to throw it back at you?”

“And what exactly do you have on me?” I challenge arrogantly.

“I don’t know, maybe the fact you were in a tad too much of a hurry to go see Shane this morning, or should I say Kareena?” Leo says coldly with a cocky-as-f**k smirk.

“Bastard,” I mutter. Nothing gets past him. ” The kid was my concern.”

Was it? I’m not so sure… I can’t deny that as the months went by, I’ve begun seeing her as a little more than my brother’s woman… but that was something I knew from the very start could happen.

Did I hate it? No… but that’s not something I wanted to ever push for… it’s getting harder to hold back around her. Especially when she doesn’t realise how sexy she looks and acts so
