Alex's POV

"I don't see why I have to be dragged to your mother's I have fuck loads to do here." I said as I refused to move from under the covers.
"I can see your very busy." Jack chuckled.
"Exactly, I'm busy doing little as possible and making the most of humans running round the place." I said.
Jack walked over laid down facing me.
"Please, I don't that Anthony at all and I don't have the heart to turn down mothers offer off food." He said and moved a peice of hair which had falling over my eyes.
"What do you want me to do about it?" I asked.
"Just bare the disgusting food and talk and keep an eye on that bastard and look through his head to see if he's hurting mum. I know you don't like him whatsoever but he respects you more than me and I could also use you gifts to help see if I have to force him out and away from mum." He said.
"Your mums cooking is the best." I said.
"Seriously? Can tell you haven't had to grow up with her." He chuckled.
"Come on, I always get given posh food. It's nice to feel normal for once." I said and kissed the end of his nose.
"So are you coming or not?" He asked and sat up.
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Yes, because I know I'll be in the doghouse otherwise." I said and slowly got out of bed.
Jack smiled and went off someone.

"Seriously, I'm going to his house, I don't need dimwits following me around like I don't have a clue what I'm doing." I said to the guards who was being shits.
"You can't go off like you normally do. Your a king and one who need protecting." The boss guard said.
"Alex don't." Jack said from the sofa but I didn't listen, like normal.
"I am the one who decides who needs the fucking protecting, I don't need protecting." I growled and cornered him in a corner.
"I suggest you leave me alone and accept that I am fine without the guards." I said softly compelling him.
"As you wish Sir." He said.
I smiled a sarcastic smile and walked over to Jack.
"I believe we have to be somewhere." I said offering him my hand which he took and we walked to his.

I liked Jacks mum, I think she liked me as well but her man friend hated me and I made it very clear that I didn't like him.
We walked in the front door and his mum pretty much came running out the kitchen over to us.
"Jacky! It's been ages since you shown your face round here!" She said and pulled him into a bone crushing hug.
"Can't.. Breath.. Mum" Jack said and she let him go.
"Air." He said.
I chuckled.
"Alex!" She smiled and pulled me into a hug which I returned.
"You looking after him still!" She said seriously.
I pulled Jack to my side and kissed the side of his head.
"Nothing bad will happen to him. You have my word." I said.
Anthony showed.
"See your still here." Jack growled.
"Where would I be? I have no where better to be." Anthony said.
"Drop it, don't upset your mum." I said quietly in his ear.
He looked at me.
"Not now." I whispered and kissed him.
Jack sighed and dropped it for now.
"Come and have a glass of wine with us." Jacks mum said and grabbed Jack hand who still had hold of my hand which meant we both was being dragged by his mum.

Jacks POV

We was sat round the table and Alex looked lost in thought about something.
"Is he okay?" Mum asked and pointed to Alex.
"Yeah." I said and focused on Alex.
"Oi bitch tits snap out of this." I said and playfully pushed his shoulder.
Alex snapped out of his trance and glared at me.
'You okay?' I asked through the bond.
'Yeah, just got lost in thought.' He said back and smiled at me.
I put my hand on his knee under the table.
He put his hand on top of mine and linked his little finger with mine.

"So Alex, it was sad too hear about your parents and your grandmother passing like they did." Anthony said.
Alex had been really private about that and I didn't even know that much since he would just ignore that subject or distract me with something else.
I looked at Alex and he looked pissed off and you could feel the anger slowly coming off him.
"I never told anyone about that so how did you find out!" He growled.
"Jack told me." He said.
"I haven't set foot in this house for nearly 3 months so how could I possibly tell you what has happened and I never knew what happened either." I said before Alex could got to speak.
"Don't lie Jacky." Anthony said.
"Don't call him that!" Alex said loudly and stood up.
"Alex calm down." I said and got up and got hold of his hand which he snatched out of my hold striaght away.
He walked over to Anthony.
Mum was shocked with what was happening in front of her.
"His name is Jack. Only I and his mother can call him that. I know when people are lying and its you who is the billy bullshitter. So i suggest you get your facts right before you speak to me again." Alex said in a low voice but it seemed to go round the whole room.

Anthony looked at him shocked in someway.
"I also suggest you don't speak or even look at me for the rest of the night." He said and then he said something in Russian which must of been really offensive as he rarely spoke that language only when he was offending someone or talking to himself.
He came back over and sat in his chair and carried on eating like nothing happened.
I looked at him then too mum.
Alex looked up and looked at mum.
"I'm sorry the way I have just acted, it was wrong of me but he had to be put back into place." He said and had a mouthful of wine and looked at me and smiled.
I glared at him and sat down.
"It's fine Alex." Mum said.
After that we ate in silence, well mum and Anthony did me and Alex was talking through our bond.
'What the fucking hell was that all about!' I said.
'I told fucking no one I know you haven't either so he knows something we don't.' He said.
'That doesn't mean you go and fucking donwhat you just did! Especially in front of mum and the fucking fact we're in the middle of eat!' I snapped.
'Jacky all pissed off at me?' He asked
"Yes! Can't fucking believe you right now.' I huffed.
'I'm sorry.' He said.
I looked at him and he looked at me.
I kicked him playfully under the table.
'You're not leaving my sight and your not allowed to be alone with him.' I said.
'Yes mother whatever you say mother.' He said and he was fighting the urge to chuckle as mum and Anthony can't hear us.

Me and Alex was tried since we was up until 7 this morning.
"As much as I hate to say this guys, but we're heading home." I said and got up and Alex followed my lead.
"You don't have to go, you can spend the night here." Mum said.
Anthony was out the room doing something.
"It's for the best mum, Alex and Anthony are both ready to kill one another and its not fair on us or them." I said.
"I am here by the way." Alex said sarcastically.
I glared at him as a warning to stop, and for once he did, but that was only because he was in my bad books for the short moment of time.
"That's true." Mum said quietly and looked down.
"It's a not your fault, it mine so don't blame yourself." Alex said and went over to mum and pulled her into a hug.
I was the only person Alex would really hug but I guess he had to show he was sorry to mum for how he behaved.
"Christ you must of been a handful when you was younger." She chuckled.
Alex pulled back and smiled.
"Think I must of had more head slaps than what Jack will get in his life time." He smiled and looked at me.
Mum chuckled.
"I am really sorry for how I acted tonight, it was rude if me." He said on a more serious note.
"It's over and done with now. The main thing is that you said sorry and you enjoyed the food." She said.
"The food was lovely thanks." He smiled.
"How about you come round to Alex's on Friday for food or whatever." I said.
She smiled.
"I would love that. Is that minus Anthony?" She said.
"If that's okay." I said.
"Of course it is. I'm expecting something posh and good." She said and poked Alex's chest.
He didn't know how to react to that and it was funny.
"See what can be done Mam." He said.
"Joyce. How many more time do I have to tell you to call me that." She chuckled.
Alex shrugged his shoulders and I went over and gave mum a hug.
"I'll see you Friday." I said and kissed her cheek and went back over to Alex.
"What time?" She asked.
"7." Alex said.
"See you then." Mum said and we went home.

We crawled into bed and Alex put a film on and I cuddled into his side like we normally do.
"I'm sorry about this evening." Alex said quietly.
"It's fine." I muttered.
"You sure?" He asked.
I nodded and yawned.
I put an arm round his waist and got comfy and slowly fell asleep.
