Just The Three Of Us

Misunderstandings Pt.3

Shay Pov

I went to the tattoo shop but all I wanted to do was head over to Deckard's house and knock him out. I also wanted to hug and hold Rory. She has not only been through so much but is also so sweet. She doesn't deserve men to keep treating her like she is not enough. She is more than enough. I had been ignoring Jack's texts and calls. He was Deckard's brother so I didn't want to have anything to do with him or his family.

"Shay, you have a visitor," Tony said.

"s**t," I said to myself.

"What not happy to see me slick," Jack said as he came over to my station.

"What do you want?" I asked aggressively.

"Well, I wanted to see you but damn I guess the feeling isn't mutual," damn his glowing eyes. He is too damn sexy to ignore.

"I don't want to see you or anyone of your b***h ass brothers," I said rudely.

"Oh, it's like that," he grinned.

"Yeah," I said with my hands on my hips.

"You know what I think. I think you are just pushing me away because we are having a good time and you're scared," he said.

"I'm not scared, why would I be scared," I said sharply. "Scared of you, HA."

"Yeah, scared of how you feel when you're around me," he said. "You are scared you might start to like me and break more of your rules for me."

"Look, Jack, I am not scared. I just hate you and your brothers. Now stay away from me," I said harshly.

"Relax, I don't know what happened but if you want me to leave then I will," Jack said calmly. f**k, I didn't want him to leave but what else could I say. I was angry at Deckard and I was annoyed at how much fun I was having with Jack. I didn't want him to be my boyfriend or anything but I didn't want to have him around so much. What did that mean? Did I want it to mean something?

Rory Pov

I went to work and tried to forget about everything and everyone. I was so hurt and angry. Why was I so stupid? Why did I actually think I could trust him? I intentionally left my phone at home because I didn't want anyone to bother me. I didn't want to talk or hear from anyone. Especially not Deckard. I didn't know what game he was playing but I was done being a pawn in it.

An hour passed, I noticed my boss talking to someone. As I got closer I realized it was Deckard.

"Thank you," he said to Helen, my boss.

"No, thank you," she turned around the moment she noticed me coming up behind them.

"Hey, you can go home early," she said grinning.

"WHY? I said angrily. She looked at me with a puzzled expression. I don't think she has ever heard me raise my voice. "Sorry, thank you." I went over to the back to get my stuff. Deckard was of course still waiting in the store. He obviously had something to do with this.

"Hello gorgeous," he said to me.

"Hey," I said as softly as I could.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

"Nope," I said as I rolled my eyes.

"I fear I may need to teach you how to act properly around-," his tone was playful but serious.

"Around," I questioned "Around a liar or a cheater. A manipulator."

"Aurora," he said softly.

"Don't, just leave me alone," I said impatiently as I moved away from him.

"I won't let you go until you talk to me," he said as he grabbed my arm.

"Stop it, I don't want to talk to you, I don't even want to be around you," I said aggressively.

"I will pick you up and take you by force if I have to, now stop being a child and speak to me clearly," I was so angry  I slapped him and ran to my car. How dare he call me a child. I was beyond angry at this point. I called my agent and manager, I told them I was ready to leave for Australia so I didn't even go back home. I headed to their office and picked up my plane ticket. I didn't want to keep dealing with all this drama so I got on the next flight out.

Maggie Pov

"Shay have you heard from Rory," I called Shay and asked because she hasn't come home from work.

***KNOCK KNOCK*****

I went over to answer the door but the simple knock then turned into a pounding on the door.

"Hold the f**k up," I shouted.

"Where is she?" I heard Deckard shout as I opened the door.

"I don't kno-,"

"DON'T LIE," He grunted.

"I'm not lying, she went to work and hasn't come back," I snapped. "Why do you care?"

"EXCUSE ME," He said aggressively. "WHY WOULDN' T I CARE."

"SERIOUSLY," I said just as annoyed. "You were out on a date with some woman last night."

"What?" he asked.

"At the charity event," I said. "I saw you, so don't deny it."

"Oh the dark-haired, grey-eyed young woman I was with," he said simply. I could feel his condescending attitude emerging. "See a resemblance, did you?"

"Um," I was speechless.

"She was my cousin, she has just begun investing in hotels and just so happened to be invited to the charity event held in one of my hotels. I decided to attend with her so we could chat and I could give her some tips."

"Oh,"

"Yes, oh, now Aurora, the woman I really care about isn't speaking to me and is upset by your accusation," he said sharply.

"I'm sorry," I said softly. I was embarrassed and now felt like I ruined Rory's life.

"So, where do you think I can find her?" he asked.

"Um, Australia?" I said a bit unsure.

"Are you serious," he said annoyed.

"She had a job there,"

"Fine, I'll go and retrieve her then," and just like that he swiftly left.
