Julia

I'm still so ashamed that I was caught stealing from a charity shop and I swear the moment that he walked in I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole. I know that a man like him would never be interested in someone like me, but that doesn't mean that I can't daydream about it on the cold sleepless nights that I often face.

However, after my antics today, even I'm going to struggle to daydream about him wanting me after what he saw. Despite all my mixed emotions, the look on Nina's face when I got home with a coat, jumper, and boots for her made every single embarrassing moment worthwhile.

After being caught once today, I'm not up for any more stealing, so I'm staying here tonight with Nina and the others rather than going out on my usual nightly hunt. Thankfully, I managed to get a large amount of food last night, and we've kept enough for everyone to be able to eat tonight. Well, everyone except for me... I won't eat tonight. I'd rather keep my potion for tomorrow.

    RileyIt's been three days since I last saw her, only three days, and yet it feels like it's been forever. She's constantly on my mind. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, whether it's running my many businesses or working out in the gym or even at the club with Josh, she never leaves me, and it's playing with my head.Josh and I hit the club last night as the asshole part of me tried to convince myself that I just needed to get laid, but of course, the moment a woman come on to me, I had absolutely no interest in her and, I shit you not, she was everything that I usually look for in a one night stand and yet, I couldn't get further enough away from her which has pretty much summed up what I already knew, but just didn't want to admit.And so that's why I'm currently sitting in my car with the entrance to the alleyway in full view, hoping and praying that she will come out of there and that I can catch a glimpse of her and... Well, I don't really have a plan yet, I just know that I need

    Julia "Momma, will we ever have a Christmas tree?" the sad look in her eyes tugs at my heart. Her request is such a simple one and yet, still something that I can't give her. All children should know the pure joy of a Christmas tree, the twinkling lights, and multicolored baubles. I've only ever had one Christmas tree but I've never forgotten about it. "One year, baby, one year." It's the same line that I tell her every year but it's something that I plan on making happen.... one year anyway. "You said that last year, momma." this girl may only be three but she has an incredible brain and memory. The girl is home-schooled by me and with the limited resources that I have you would think that she would be behind for her age but she's not, she is incredibly talented and makes me insanely proud every day. "You're smart for a 3-year-old, chicken," Helen says as she comes to sit next to us. I swear this woman reads my mind several times a week. "I'm almost 4!" Nina rushes out proud to a

    Riley I'm in the car and on my way to downtown New York so fast that it feels like a blur. Thankfully, the traffic isn't so bad tonight so it's a pretty quick ride to the city centre. I quickly find a parking space not too far from the alleyway then waste no time in heading that way on foot. It's almost 9 pm and from what I've learned over the past few weeks of watching her, if she is out then she will be back soon. She doesn't seem to stay out late which makes me happy because I worry about her out there doing God knows what. I stay in the dark and out of sight so as not to frighten her or anyone else who may come here and get impatient as the time goes by and she doesn't return. Maybe she's not out tonight? Maybe she's up the alleyway with her little girl. I decide to give it another ten minutes and if there's no sign of her then I'll head further up the alley to see if I can spot her there. Another fifteen minutes go by with still no sight of her I finally lose it. "Fuck this!"

    RileyI shock myself with those words but the moment I say them, I know that I don't regret them. I mean every word and I may not have planned this to go this way but I don't care. I'm glad I said what I said. The sooner I get these two of the streets the better."Don't. Please, don't do that!" She pulls back from me letting go of my coat as she speaks and the saddest look covers her beautiful face. "Don't do what? I don't understand?" she gives me a disbelieving look but I'm still confused."It's mean to tease someone." I'm still confused. "You are fully aware that I don't have anything... have a home, yet you have it all and you're here just teasing me. Is this fun for you?" she starts getting angry again and so do I because clearly, she has had this done to her before. Clearly, someone has rubbed her unfortunate life in her face and that just pisses me off.I step in even closer to her filling in the small gap that she made when she pulled back from me and gently grip her chin maki

    RileyI'm pissed! pissed, annoyed, upset, angry, and just plain fucking gutted! I didn't plan anything when I went to see Gemma... Julia tonight but still, I feel like a massive failure and just... fuck, I don't even know what I'm feeling right now.When she finally told me her real name, I felt my heart kick up a beat. Julia... such a beautiful name. I wonder what the little girl's name is. I doubt that she would tell me her real name and I can respect that, she has to protect her and I get it. Tonight was the closest that I have gotten to her and somehow she seemed even smaller than before but still absolutely perfect.Seeing her hurt angered me like never before. Why would anyone hurt her? Those men are sick bastards and if I ever get my hands on them I won't be responsible for my actions!"How's that whiskey treating you?" Josh sits on the empty bar stool next to me as I finish up my drink. My reply is a grunt because I don't know what to say, and don't want to talk but I know Jos

    Nina "Momma, momma wake up!" The wind is so cold that my toes are hurting but my mom has got me so wrapped up that I don't feel it as much as I should. The wind got really scary and has broken our tent but my mommy laid over me to protect me and keep me safe because she's the best mommy in the whole wide world but now she's sleeping and I can't wake her up. I wiggle with all I have and keep calling her but she's not answering. Some of the other people who live here are sleeping too but the rest left here ages ago while mommy was laying over me. Finally, after lots of wiggling I manage to get out from under mommy. The wind isn't so windy anymore but she still won't wake up. "Mommy wake up! The wind has gone now, Mommy!" Why don't she listen? I'm scared and I'm cold and I just want my mommy to wake up! Maybe she's not well and that's why she's sleeping. She has told me before that if she's sleeping and I can't wake her up then I have to ask for help and now that it's happening, I'm ge

    Riley "So what's going on then? Josh gives me a sheepish smile as he orders another round of drinks. "I'll take a soda" he nods as he alters the order and I once again sit my ass down on the bar stool. "Your mom Is going to see Julia." I go to stand up but he places his hand on my shoulder and pushes me back down. "Before you go and start a war just listen." I nod my head as I take a sip of my drink. Hell, I should have had a whiskey after all. "Fine. I'm listening." "Ok, so after you spoke to your mom and told her what happened she decided to go and speak to Julia. She's not going to try and pressure her to change her mind about you like you're a child don't worry. She's just going to see if Julia will accept any help from her. Your mom knows that she means a lot to you so she said that she was going to try and help her. I know it's not the same but at least if your mom can get her to accept some help you can know that she's ok and you never know maybe in time, she'll give you that

    Riley For the first time today, I'm actually grateful for the snowstorm because it means less traffic and has allowed us to get to the hospital a lot quicker than normal. Once we are in there and Julia is taken away, Nina and I spent almost an hour waiting on news of her mom. It takes so long that by the time that the doctor has come to see us both my mom and Josh are here with us. "Are you the family of Julia?" I nod as I stand up. "Yes." I'm lying but I don't care, I need to know what's going on and now! "OK, so Julia is suffering from hypothermia. It's not as bad as it can get but still, she isn't very well and she will need to stay in for a while so we can monitor her. I am also concerned about her weight, she appears very underweight and it is something that we will need to address once she comes around." My mind whirls with the news even if I did suspect it already but at least she isn't as bad as she could be... small mercys and all that. "Is she awake yet?" "She is but she

    Julia It's almost fifteen minutes later when we pull into Mandy's driveway and my curiosity is piqued even more when I see Riley's mom, Grandad, Josh and none other than little Miss Nina standing on the front steps. "What's going on?" I'm less worried now and more excited as I see the people that I love on the steps as Jenny steps out from behind them with the twins in her arms right before Josh leans down and takes Jacob from her. I would question the fact that Nina is here even though I know that she left the house for the school bus this morning but it just so happens that Josh was the one to take her for the bus today and then he drove separately from us... It doesn't take a genius to work out what happened there. "Let's go and find out shall we?" He gets out of the car and quickly makes his way around to my side and opens my door before holding out his hand for me to take and we head towards the others as they all continue to look at us with cheesy smiles on their faces. As so

    Julia 5 years later I slowly open my eyes feeling groggy and insanely tired, inwardly groaning when I check the alarm clock beside me and realize that it's going to start blaring in exactly four minutes. Fuck my life! I shouldn't complain about getting up, not after I've had a solid 9 hours of sleep but still, between a bed that feels like I'm sleeping on fluffy clouds and an incredibly handsome husband wrapped around me how can I not? But with kids to get ready for the day and a job to get to I dont have much choice! Of course, Riley has always made it clear that I dont have to work and I did try it for a while but the truth is, the moment that I first walked into my office, I knew that it was the right thing for me. Of course, I love my children more than anything in this world but I can't be a stay-at-home mom. I need to be out working, helping to earn money and know that I'm contributing to their financial support. And honestly, being stuck inside the house for too long drives

    Julia"When will Daddy be home from work?" I can't help but smile as my little girl asks me that one simple question. It's only been a day since she 'asked' Riley to be her Dad and yet, I swear that she has said the word 'Dad' a thousand times and I'm not even sure who loves it more... her or Riley.When Riley had the conversation with her I didn't fully understand what he was doing, can't say I fully agreed with him, that was until he told me his reasons and I got it, I did, and I still do, and I think he did the right thing. Of course, being honest is the right thing to do but in this case, a little white lie seems the best way to go. She's never going to remember the conversation but she'll always remember Riley as being her Dad. besides, when we had a chat we agreed that when she is old enough we will tell her the story so it won't always be a secret."He won't be long, baby. How about you make him a picture while you wait with your new colors and coloring book?" She nods excitedl

    Riley "Why don't I haves a Daddy?" I'm sitting at the breakfast bar doing some work on my laptop while Julia takes a bath when Nina walks over to me and asks me that. She's been in the lounge playing with Josh so I don't know where that's come from. I look down at her and see sadness all over her cute little face and it breaks my heart. It's been almost two weeks since we found out that I am her Dad, but we decided to wait until after Christmas and New Year to tell her in case she got upset by the news. Of course, I'm praying that she doesn't but it is a possibility and none of us want to ruin her first Christmas and birthday with a roof over her head. I get off the stool and duck down so that I'm face-to-face with her. "What did you say, sweetheart?" I'm pretty sure that I know what I heard but I want to double-check just in case I'm somehow wrong. "Why don't I haves a Daddy?" Fuck, I was hoping that I was wrong. A million thoughts swarm my head while the words I want to say lay o

    Riley Julia hands both Josh and me some beers before saying goodnight to us and heading for the bedroom but there are two problems with that one, I didn't get a kiss goodnight and that's not how our relationship is going to go. There will be a kiss shared last thing at night and first thing in the morning at the very least. The second problem is that she's heading towards Nina's room. She had better just be checking on her before she goes to our room, even though I only left Nina's room around 30 minutes ago so I can't imagine she checking on her already but she's used to being with her all the time so I could be wrong so decide to check. I creep up behind her and whisper in her ear "And where do you think you're going?" It's really hard not to laugh when she jumps but it's the cutest sight, and then she laughs her beautiful laugh as she turns around to face me. "I'm going to bed. I just said goodnight."She has such an innocent confused look on her face that it's hard not to just sc

    Riley Nina's yawning brings my mind back to the room. "Are you tired, sweet girl?" My mom asks her. Her little head bops up and down as she goes to speak, but she just ends up yawning again. It's only 6.30, but it's been a long day for her and after an early start, I imagine she's more than ready for bed. After a few minutes of chatting, I start to gather our stuff while Julia gets Nina all wrapped up warm before we head out into the cold. "I'd best make a move too," Josh says as he removes the tiara from his head. His words give me a strange feeling, and I'm not sure what to do with it. We've spent every Christmas day together since we left school and his parents left to go travelling. Him saying he's heading off seems wrong even if I do appreciate him thinking about my family... my family. "Where are you going?" Julia asks him. He looks at me and then her before smiling, but I know full well that he's forcing that smile. "I'm going to head to the club." She tilts her head a littl

    Riley “You know, son. There was a time when I started to believe that I wouldn't see this moment.” My Mom says as she comes to stand next to me. “What do you mean?” She gives me a warm smile before nodding her head towards the piano where Julia is standing with her arms around my little girl as they watch my Grandfather play the piano. "You with a family. I'd always hoped that I'd get to be a grandma one day but after what happened with... Well, I didn't get the impression that you wanted to have that anymore, but I'm so glad that you did. I'm so glad that you went with your gut when you met Julia." One thing I've always been able to rely on my mum for is her honesty, and right now hearing her say all those things makes me insanely grateful for that trade in her. "I didn't think I would either. If truth be told Mom, I knew that there was something special about her the first time I saw her, but I fought it and yet, suddenly, I was seeing her all the time without trying and then...

    Julia "Mommy, mommy, wake up!" My mind feels groggy as I'm pulled from my sleep by noise and when I go to move my whole body feels like I've just done the work out of a lifetime but as memories of last night with Riley resurface, I don't care about any discomfort I feel right now because it was worth every single second of it. "Mommy!" My eyes snap open when I realise that it's Nina calling me and I swiftly sit up to see her, grateful when I take the blanket with me, I'm naked underneath and that is the last thing my little girl needs to see. I don't even remember falling asleep last night, never mind falling asleep in Riley's bed. Jesus, I'm an arse, I hope he didn't mind. "Good morning, baby." She looks to a still sleeping Riley whos laying beside me then a massive smile plasters across her face. Suddenly she climbs up onto the bed and dives straight for Riley landing on top of him and scaring the shit out of him. A laugh burst out of me while Nina laughed hysterically. "Well, go

    Riley How I manage to control myself when she gasps at the sight of my cock I have no idea but somehow, I manage it. I can see that she's nervous and I get it but I'm going to be as gentle as I can be which is going to be hard. My dick is so hard that I want to nail her to the bed and have her screaming my name. But this is her first time and I'm going to make it as special as I can. Besides, there will be more than enough time for harder sex in the future and going by how Julia has responded to my small bits of roughness with her breasts I think she's going to like the harder sex and I can't wait to find out for myself. I climb back onto the bed and place myself between her legs, she's still coming down from her orgasm, her pussy still soaking wet and so so inviting. I cover her body with mine and kiss her like my life depends on it as I line myself up. "Are you still sure, baby? Remember you can always change your mind." She shakes her head no while smiling.
