Dave's POV

"Luke you need to get these girls out of here" I said as I pushed a girl off of me

"Chill bro" he said, smiling

"Lez won't be happy seeing you like this" I told him

"Nor would Ivy" he said

That's it.

I got up and moved towards the glass wall which showed the dance floor below and everything else.

Luke got up and joined me.
"You are soo whipped" he said

"Wasn't that obvious already" I said

He nodded
"Except to one important person"

I rolled my eyes at him
"Ivy knows I love her"

He raised his brow
"Does she?" He asked "Did you tell her?"

"No, but I've shown her" I said

"No matter what you do to prove your love, you still have to tell her in words" he said "Girls are weird that way

"Ivy's different, she knows I love her" I defended Ivy

"If you say so" he said

We watched as the crowd danced below us

"Does she love you?" He asked out of nowhere

I looked at him
"I...I don't know" I said "She's never said anything about 'love'" I said

"So she might have also shown that she loves you but she's never actually said it in words" he said

My brows creased
"...or she might not be in love with me yet" I provided

"You are such a fool" he said, shaking his head as the DJ changed the song "Ah! Lez's favourite song"

I smiled at him

He's as whipped I am.

I looked away from him and looked at the dance floor.

The crowd had given way for two girls to dance in the centre. I watched them and one of the girls caught my attention. They both did but the one in red caught my attention more than the other.

I squinted my eyes.

What the ?

Ivy.

She's here.

Dancing.

In 'that' dress.

What the heck!

"What the f**k!" I said

"What is it?" Luke asked as I looked at the second girl.

Of course.

My very own cousin.

I should have guessed that this was her doing.

"Our partners are both here, dancing" I pointed out

"Wow! I've never seen Ivy dance" he said "They got moves"

I stared at him blankly
"That's all you have to say?"

"Hmm, yea" he said

"I'm gonna go get them" I made a move to leave

"No!" Luke stopped me "Let the dance end. I wanna watch them"

I looked back at the dance floor and smiled.

I also want to watch 'her' dance.

She looks carefree, happy and like she's having the time of her life.

Dayum!

The way she went down and came up, ass first then swinging her head up making her her flip back, so freaking sexy.

I swallowed.

They finished dancing and high-fived eachother, grinning

"Give it up for those amazing dancers" the DJ said

I felt this gladness, a sorta happiness, pride. I was proud of her.

I wanted to show her off to the world.

The feelings just kept coming till a guy approached her and before I knew what was happening, she was dancing with him

"That's not good" Luke said beside me

I clenched my jaw as I stalked out of the VIP section, going down the stairs towards the dance floor. I got even angrerier when I saw her in his arms, her arms round his neck.

I stalked towards them, past the people on the dance floor and yanked her away from him, punching him square in the face before he could even process what was happening.

I heard Ivy gasp behind me.

"Stay away from my wife" I spat at him before I grabbed Ivy and made my way out of the club.

"Dave, let go of me" she said trying to pull her hand away

Trying being the operative word.

"Stop this right now Dave" she said as we got outside the club "What is wrong with you?" She asked angrily

I spotted the car as Phil pulled up in front of us. I opened the door and looked at her.
"Get in" I said trying to control my anger

"I'm not gonna get in, this is absurd" she said, furious

"Get in right now Ivy" I said through clenched teeth "I won't tell you again"

It hurt when I saw fear flash in her eyes before she got in without an more complaint.

I entered the car and shut the door.
"Home, Phil" I said

Phil drove home in silence as I tired to calm down.

I looked to my left and saw Ivy staring outside the widow staring at nothing in particular with her arms crossed.

I clenched my jaw again.

Was she scared of me when I almost yelled at her?

Oh shit!

Phil pulled up in the garage a few minutes later.

I opened the door and got out holding it open for Ivy. She had gine through the other door.

"Goodnight sir" Phil said

"I'll call you tomorrow Phil" I told him

He left as I made my way inside the house.

I shut the door and quickly made my way inside trying to catch up with her.

"Ivy!" I called her as she made her way to the stairs. She didn't bother to stop. "Ivy!"

I caught up with her before she reached the stairs. Grabbing her wrist I stopped and turned her to face me.

"Let go of me" she snapped, jerking her hand away from me

"What the heck is wrong with you?" I asked her

She looked at me
"'What is wrong with me?'" She asked "What is wrong with you?"

I raised my brow.

"You're the one who ruined my night not the other way round. So tell me, Mr. Connor, what is wrong with you?" She asked

"Ivy, I'm not against you having a great night" I said angrily "But can't that happen without dancing with a guy and having him all over you. What's even worse is you didn't do anything about it, you even offered yourself to him"

She stared at me, eyes widened.
"Are you for real?" She asked "This whole thing is about Richard?"

Now I was furious
"So you got his name"

"Yea" she snapped "Richard is a nice guy, very friendly and soo much more less complicated than you"

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked her

"You don't know what you want" she said "You're double minded. I don'teven know why I'm having this unreasonable conversation with you"

"Stop being childish, you're over reacting" I told her

"I'm being childish?" she said taking a step towards me "Do you want to know what's childish? Its you coming over and literally yanking me away from Richard, you punch him in the face and drag me out of the club like I'm a piece of shit and now you have the nerve to argue with me about it"

"Ivy..."

"I'm not done" she says "You have the nerve to argue with me about dancing with a guy, but what about you?"

"What about me?" I asked

"That girl who was all over you in the private room upstairs." She said

Oh shit!

"You think I didn't see that?" She asked "I did, but I'm not being childish about it. If you're tired of me and want to sleep with other women, that's fine by me, but then the same goes for you. I don't complain and you don't too" she began walking away

"Ivy" I held her back, grabbing her shoulder. I could feel her trembling. With rage?

She pulled away

"That girl you saw was just one of the girls Luke called up. It was nothing. She was all over me but I didn't like it. All I could think of was you" I said, controlling my anger "Then I saw you dancing with that...guy and I got really pissed. I was jealous okay?"

She turned around
"Why the heck would you be jealous!?" She yelled

"Because I fucking love you, Dammit!" I snapped

We stared at eachother, breathing hard and fast with the anger we felt burning in us.

I saw her eyes soften.

"I love you" I said softly this time
