SAGE novel Chapter 23

Sage Miller

I was officially over the Toronto visit. I don't know how Eve does it, pretending all the time, that shit is exhausting. Keeping up with appearances can be so tiring.

I needed to be myself. I never realized how much the gang was myself until I was away from it for three days.

I miss cussing for no reason at all, I miss snarling or sneering. I miss the blood, I miss being Sin.

I miss Sebastian. I miss Connor. Damn I even miss Styles and his annoying orders.

It's safe to say I was on edge and that's never a good thing because one comment from that little shit called Damien I know I'll blow and do something stupid cause damn the kid is fucking annoying.

Antsy and me are never a good combination.

I was making a mental note to arrange a fight as soon as I get back to Miami when I saw someone stretching.

Entertainment. I beamed to myself as I admired the girl. I wasn't being a pervert or anything, just admiring.

She was so beautiful and curvey but not as beautiful as Smurf-

What the fuck? Where did that thought came from?

Even with so much distance I can't get her out of my damn mind.

I shook my heart to rid myself of her and focused on the beauty in front of me.

Her hair was so red. I wondered if the rumors are true about red haired.

Is their temper how they say it is?. They say they breathe fire. Their temper is as red as their hair and in bed, fuck, in bed they are wild.

I chuckled as Connor's words popped in my head.

I truly do think with my dick.

Oh well, I can't change that about me and I happen to like the me that thinks with his dick.

I decided to just walk up to her and talk to her. I have two more days in this place. Might as well see how long it'll take me to get her to bed.

She decided to bend over then her ass was a perfect view for me to admire. The things I was doing to her in my mind should be illegal.

I imagined her ass bouncing on dick, leaving finger markings on her ass. My hand print on her ass check.

Fuck. I hope she's one of these easy ones.

"Hello." I cleared my throat when I realized she hasn't noticed me yet.

She quickly got up and turned around. Her cheeks were crimson red in embarrassment and I just smirked at her.

She reminded me of someone. She's one of those innocent ones.

"Eh.. um.. hey." She shyly said averting her gaze from mine when I wanted to her to make eye contact, maybe figure out her eye color.

"I just had to stop and say hey and admire your beauty and hot body." I shamelessly flirted with her.

"Ummm. Thank you?" I didn't think her cheeks could get any red. But because her skin was pale. I saw that the exposed part her chest, her neck was now scarlet red. She was as red as her hair.

"You're American." She blunted out then realized she said it out loud. She slapped a hand over her mouth and I chuckled. Her redness deepened. If that's even possible.

Before I could reply a voice. Anger, so angry spoke.

"Get the fuck away from her if you know what's good for you." He threatened. I looked around and saw a guy making his way to us.

I eyed him up and down and he did the same.

I could take him on. I said to myself.

Sure he was fit but I'm skilled and a fighter.

He too reminded me of someone with the crease and deep frown on his face.

His eyes were narrowed, rigid, cold, angry and hard. So familiar. The expression was very familiar.

"I thought I told you to step away from her." He said but this time much slower when he realized I wasn't going anywhere.

I smirked.

"You think or I should get away, which one is it? You don't seem very sure." I rolled my eyes and he balled his fist.

I heard Redie sucked in a breath like she's afraid for me or something.

"Whichever is efficient." He practicality growled.

"Big words. Woooo I'm so scared." I taunt him. This is the most fun I've had in days. Days I tell you.

I'm an adrenaline junkie. I can't be blame. Even if its just this.

"Fucking Americans." He grumbled and again I rolled my eyes.

"Protective brother." I said to Redie and her eyes widen. I knew the moment I saw him that he wasn't her brother. Far from it. He wasn't even family.

The guy's jaw worked so hard that I felt bad for his tooth.

"You're really testing my damn patience and I don't have much of it." He said through gritted teeth but his irritation amused me.

"Ahh baby gonna throw a tantrum." I cooed and in a blink of an eye his fist came out.

I barely dodged it. I grabbed his wrist and twisted it and a piercing scream was heard.

I was about to punch his sorry as when his girlfriend saved him.

"He's father is the chief of police." She rushed out and I stop mid air.

I looked at the girl then this fucker I was about to punch.

I would've rearranged his face nicely for him so he'll remember me for the rest of his life.

If I could just.... I twisted his arm a bit more but his girlfriend was pleading with me.

I could pound his face real hard and the time his father found out I'd be on my way to Miami. No.

His father is the chief of police

His father is the chief of police

His father is the chief of police

I repeated but that didn't stop the edge to punch him. Just once. Just a teny tiny bit.

I decided to push him off and let go.

His girlfriend gave me a thank you look and was by his side in seconds.

The fucker tried to get up and fight me but his girlfriend stopped him.

"Remember your father said one more trouble he'll ship you off to military school. Please stop Cole." Redie pleaded.

Then it clicked who they reminded me of. Styles and Eve.

His anger and her innocence. His jealousy.

I smirked at him then smiled at her.

"See you around Redie." I said to her.

"Fuck off." The guy I now know as Cole said.

I decided to let them go before I caused trouble and cut our trip short.

"Bye." Redie whispered and when she was about to wave Cole yanked her arm back.

They started arguing in whispers and I laughed as I walked away. Laughed real hard as I made my way towards grandma's house.

Walking up the driveway towards the front door I could feel the buzz of adrenaline and excitement leaving me.

I sighed and walked inside. The first person I saw was Damien.

I tsked. It was hard getting leaving that piece of shit alone and right now was the perfect time to 'talk' to him.

I strode over to him and swatted his phone away.

I placed my hand on his shoulder and he winced because I squeezed it hard.

"Shhh." I warned him. I did not care of he was my cousin.

No one. I mean no one messes with my Eve. And he's about to find out why.

"What do you want? I didn't do anything. I swear." He cried out like the pussy he was.

I almost laughed at how pathetic he sounded.

"You little piece of....." I started but saw Eve coming down the stairs. I cussed. "......amazing person. Yes. Amazing."

I talked louder than necessary which confused the heck out of the two people.

"Don't drop your phone. You'll crack the screen." I came up with the lie easy as I bent down and picked up the phone.

Only then did I see what he was texting about. My dear cousin has a boyfriend and he didn't want my fear Uncle to know and yes I got all that from the text I read from his phone.

I smirked and whispered to him.

"From now you're best friend with Eve. Understand? Unless you want me to tell dear mommy about babe and that you send BOYS your dick pics." I threatened.

"There's always two sides to a story Sage." She argued back quietly.

I was about to tell her something then remembered what I was suppose to do. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"I'll.... just stay there okay?... I'll call Connor he'll let you in." I told her.

"Ok." She said softly. And just as I was about to hang up she called me.

"Sage." Her voice was so soft, so quiet.

"Yes."

"When are you coming back?" She asked. I swear I heard the desperation in her voice. It pierced through my heart.

"In two days." I told her. My heart still clenching.

"Okay." She yawned.

"Don't fall asleep." I warned her.

"I won't." She yawned again.

I sighed knowing she won't stay awake.

I hanged up and called Connor.

He's gonna cussed the he'll out of me if she pass out.

Surprisingly he picked up early. Like he wasn't asleep at all.

"I don't appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night Sage." He grumbled as soon as he picked up.

"Hello to you too. Here I thought you'd be thrilled to answer my call because you missed me." I said sarcastically. I can almost see him rolling his eyes.

"First your girlfriend.. if that's what I can call her. Now you. What do you want Sage." He grunted in disapproval.

"Straight to the point I see." I stated clearing my throat. "Open the door for Alora. She knows her way I just want you to open the door."

He growled.

"Please." I added.

"I should've known that's why you called me." I heard rustling on the other end. "I don't even know why you put up with her shit. She always comes to you when she's drunk then as soon as she's sober she leaves your sorry ass."

I listened to his lecture. His words sounded very similar to Eve's and hearing them stings.

"Stop with the lecture. Open the door for her." I almost yelled angry.

"I'm looking out for you man. I don't even know what you see in her because all I see is a drunk and slu-"

"I dare you to finish that sentence. I dare you. If you don't have anything nice to say just shut up. Didn't your mom tell you that." I sneered knowing I hit a nerve with my words.

I didn't start it. I don't know why I always fight fire with fire.

"You're fucking messed up Sage. How could you say such shit?" Disbelief filled his voice.

"Open the Goddamn door Connor." I ordered him.

"She's fucking passed out." He called out.

"Yeah well I suggest you you pick her up and stop being a dickhead." I told him.

"Yeah well I'm not doing that shit." He said firmly.

"You better pick her up nicely and be gently when you go up the stairs then place her in my bed or you can get the fuck out of my house." I threaten slowly.

I heard his gasp and I knew I just fucked up.

"Fine I'm out of here." He scoffed.

"Fuck Connor. I took you in when you had nowhere else to go. I found you on the street dirty and disgusting. Gave you a roof over your  head and a warm place to sleep and this is how you fucking thank me. Pick Alora up and close the goddamn door. Go to sleep and we'll talk when I come back. Stop behaving like a bitch."

I ended my speech and hung up. I just hope he do it because I didn't mean every fucked up thing I said to him.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Why can't I just have a fucking filter?

It seems I'm only tamed around Eve. Everyone else is fucked.
