Sold? Oh Please - Chapter 219
“Jonathan? What are you doing here?” Jessie asked from behind Tony.
Turning around he glared at her. “Where did you pop out from? I thought you abandoned me to face the beast all alone?” He raised his brows at her.
“Hey, I was here all along.” She pouted “plus I can’t understand why you were so scared. It is just Jonathan” she laughed.
“What?”
“I’m just saying” she shrugged. “For someone so confident in ‘protecting’ me you didn’t do a very good job.” She said with a light smile and a mocking wink.
Tony scoffed. “Like you weren’t scared.” He eyed her.
“How are you guys joking right now?” Jonathan asked from the door, bringing the attention back to him.
“I heard the news, are you okay?” He asked.
“Well… what do you see?” She sighed. “Sometimes humour is the only thing that keeps us sane.”
“Are you sure you really want to stay here?” He said walking in after Tony gestured for him to do so.
“I can’t get into a fight with Jason and just leave like that. Besides Jason’s manor is too far to go to this late.” She frowned.
As though it was on cue something broke through the window she stood next to and before they could understand what was happening, Jessie was on the ground with a shriek clutching the side of her forehead.
Both men were immediately by her side, “are you okay?” Tony asked in a panicked tone.
“Where the hell did that come from?” Jonathan asked, his tone laced with anger.
“Is that?” Tony started.
“A stone?” Jonathan finished, as Tony stretched to pick up the sharp edged rock that broke into the window.
“Jessie lift up your hands.” Jonathan ordered after seeing the red that lightly coated the the rock. “You’re bleeding.”
“I’m fine” she said through clenched teeth as she pushed them away to stand up.
“No you’re not! You’re bleeding” He said his voice full of concern.
Shaking her head she insisted. “I’m fine, really. It must have been some careless kids. I really am fine.” She said, wincing as she did.
“I don’t like this at all, this isn’t safe. Where could a stone even have been chucked come from? Your fence is really high.” He argued.
“There is much blood I’ll go get the first aid box.” Tony said, leaving both of them in the hallway.
“It’s probably noth-”
“Justice for Diana Flores!” A loud voice cried and another stone flew into the house, created another crooked hole in her beautiful and expensive stained glass.
“I demand justice for Diana Flores!” The voice cried out again.
And Jonathan immediately used his body as a shield to cover Jessie as they ran further into the house. When he saw that she was safe he was already running out of the room to get the perpetrator.
“Jonathan wait!” She screamed after him. As she began to run after him, Tony held her back.
“Don’t. It not safe.” He said.
“But.. it’s not safe for him either, he can’t just go out like that fans can be brutal and dangerous. We don’t even know how many got into the house, and at this time…” she groaned. “I don’t know wether to be flattered at their determination or scared.”
“He’ll be okay.” Tony insisted.
Jessie would have none of it. “Please, at least you go.”
Before he could even leave the room Jonathan returned with eggs all over him. But the noise and breaking ceased.
Immediately Jessie saw him she pushed Tony’s hand that was currently disinfecting her wound away. Gasping she walked over to Jonathan who already shed of his coat. “Hey! You shouldn’t have gone out like that!” She cried.
“It’s okay Jessie” he began to say but she pulled him to the chair, grabbing the cloth and water Tony brought for her. Wringing the cloth she reached over to his face to clean off the eggs.
Jonathan grabbed her hand stopping her midway, she looked down at him in confusion and he realised she had no idea what she was doing to him at that moment. Standing inbetween his open thighs, her hand softly cupping the side of his face. It made him think about things he wanted to do to her that be wasn’t proud off.
“Jonathan you have to let me, please.” She said slowly.
He shook his head lightly. “I’m okay, you’re the one with a bleeding bruise.”
She shook her head stubbornly. “I couldn’t care about that right now. Please just sit still and let me do this.” She pleaded quietly again.
But still he wouldn’t let her. “You have to take care of that-”
“Will you just shut up and sit still?!” She yelled, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.
“Jessie” he said in surprise.
“Don’t you dare ‘Jessie’ me! What the hell were you thinking going out like that?! Do you not care about your life? At least even if you didn’t don’t you even the slightest care as to what I must be going through seeing you like this?!” She yelled, as she wiped the tears that dared fall before they even touched her cheeks. Tears of annoyance, and pain, stemming deeper than the wound of the side of her head.
Jonathan face immediately softened when he saw her tears. Tony’s eyes shut as he clenched his fist struggling to control the rage he clearly felt. She didn’t deserve this, she really didn’t.
She was supposed to be the most successful and famous actress in this country because she deserved that after all the effort she put in. She was everything that a celebrity should be and even more. Kind, charismatic, funny, hardworking and humble. She was nice but not a pushover and she always kept her life as transparent as she could, sacrificing for her fans every ways she could. But this was what she had to face now, it enraged Tony. To think that someone would be so petty. At that moment he decided he would not let anyone mess with her life like this and get away with it. Never.
