Riley

I stretch out my aching limbs and slowly open my eyes, looking around my still pitch-black room, which means once again I’m awake early. It’s been two days since Julie and Nina came to stay with me, and I’ve hardly slept. I can’t stop thinking about everything that happened over the last few days and I can’t stop thinking about the fact that Julia came downstairs with a gun, that girl is fucking crazy, and she’s going to be the death of me. I swear.

I don’t regret a second of them being here. If I’m being honest with myself, I love it, and despite the situation we find ourselves in, I know that I’ve never ever been this happy. I drag my ass out of bed and catch a glimpse of the clock 6:05 am. I've barely had three hours of sleep again, but it’s okay because I get to see my girls and that always makes it better.

I quickly head into the bathroom, do my business and get the shower running. Before Nina was here, I would spend a long time in the shower every morning getting ready

    JuliaIt’s been four days since Nina and I arrived at Riley's, and it has been both the best and worst four days of my life. The worst is because I’ve struggled with being inside a lot. I’m just not used to it, I'm used to being outside, and I never thought I’d struggle to adjust to being inside so much, but I am. I didn’t even struggle this hard when we were at the cottage, but maybe that’s because I knew deep down that it wasn't a permanent thing, whereas here with Riley, this could be a permanent place for us and that scares me.Another thing that scares me is just letting go. It’s putting my trust in Riley. He asked me to do it, and I am trying. He also asked me to let him take care of me and Nina, and I’m trying with that too, but it’s hard. I’m used to being independent, I’m used to being the one that Nina has to rely on.I’m used to being the one to constantly worry about where her next set of clothes will come from or her next meal, and now here we are in the penthouse of an ex

    Julia Mandy is a demon when it comes to shopping. Good lord, that women can shop and shop well. I can’t even begin to count the amount of shops that we went in today, and that’s without the huge shopping mall that she dragged me through. Jesus, that was massive and don’t get me started on the amount of stuff that she bought and made me buy too. I’m not even sure how to use half of the stuff, but she will show me what to do and how to use them. I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to it or not if I’m being honest about it. I mean, when did it become so hard to be a woman? I’ve either lived a very sheltered life and missed out on a lot of stuff, or I’ve had a lucky escape at this point. I’m not sure which one it is. I have bags of clothes and make-up, perfumes and shoes, handbags and jewellery. I mean the list goes on and on and on. And I just hope that Riley doesn’t get mad at how much I spend today. I honestly tried to stop Mandy, but she wasn't having any of it and said that Riley wo

    Riley Are you ready? I call out from the hallway while I hold the Christmas tree in one hand and a huge sack in the other hand full of decorations. "Nina. Close your eyes." I hear Julia tell her and, for some strange reason, it makes my heart fatter "Okay, ready or not, here I come!" I walk into the lounge to find Nina with her hands over her eyes as she bounces on her feet for excitement, ready for her surprise, although I can’t imagine she'd ever guess that it would be this. "3... 2... 1!" Julia sings then Nina’s hands fly away from her eyes, and she looks straight at me. It takes a moment, but then she notices the box in my hand with a picture of a Christmas tree on it, and I swear I have never heard anyone screaming so loudly in my whole life. She runs over to me bouncing on her feet. "Is that a Christmas tree, Riley?" It's clear that she knows that it is, and I know that the smile that has taken over my face is as big as ever, but I don’t care. Seeing this reaction from N

    Julia I've always heard people on the streets comment about how they are going home for a nice long soak in a hot bubble bath and as much as I could never relate I always imagined that it would be pretty amazing, it sounded it anyway. However, I was wrong, it is so much more than amazing, so much more. The moment I dipped my toe into the hot bubbled water I knew that when all of my body was in there it would feel like heaven and I was right, it did. It felt so good that I stayed in there for far longer than I had planned and only got out once my fingers had turned wrinkly and I was at risk of falling asleep. Once I'm out of the bath and dried I use some creams that Mandy had me buy. She put a whole face skin care pack together for me and a moisturiser that I can use on all of my body and told me when to do them. She also told me all the benefits that I would get from using them but if I'm being honest, I didn't take in a single thing that she told me, it was just too much. "Shit!" I

    Riley "Are the results in yet?" It has been two days since Mario's doctor took the DNA samples and the results are due today and Josh seems just as eager as me to hear the results. "Why are you so invested in the results?" He slumps down in the chair in front of my desk and starts loosening his tie. "I want to know if my best mate is a Dad, if I'm an Uncle." His cheesy grin makes me smile and his words just remind me of one of the many reasons as to why he's my best friend. "As soon as I hear anything, I will tell you. I swear, Scout's honour." He picks up a stress ball from my desk and throws it at me laughing. "As if you were ever in the Scouts." I throw it back at him but he is too quick and I completely miss him. "I would have been an excellent Scout thank you very much!" "You fucking wish!" My cell beeping stops me from saying another word and I smile when I see Julia's name on my screen. Today is the first time that I've been to work since they moved in. I would still be off

    Julia Seeing Riley in the lounge as I come out of the bedroom makes my breath catch my throat. It still seems surreal that we are here with him and it still seems surreal that I am standing in a lounge with my little girl here while we wait for a man to come home from work. This is some real suburban, family, shit and something I never thought I would experience, to be honest with you It's something that I never thought I wanted, I thought I was okay with my life and how it was. Granted, I wanted to get me and Nina off the street, but aside from that I thought it would just be me and her, and yet here we are standing in Riley’s penthouse, and despite the side of me that doesn’t want to think that things can work out, there's a bigger part of me, much bigger that is loving every single second of that and doesn’t want it to end, ever. Nina runs back over to carry on dancing to another one of the musical programs that she found on the TV. When Riley’s cell phone starts ringing in his

    RileyToday is Christmas Eve and once again, I'm up at the ass crack of dawn and already showered eager to see my girls. It's been two days since I found out that I am Nina's biological Dad and fuck, I swear that I've been smiling every second of every damn day since the moment that I found out. It’s been in the back of my head for so long, the fact that she could potentially be my daughter. There was even a time when I was beginning to think that I was imagining it, but then hearing those words out of Mario‘s mouth, hearing him say that she is my little girl...Well, fuck! It just blew me away and I’m pretty sure that I've been walking around in a daze since. How can someone so precious, so beautiful, so perfect, be a part of me? She has my blood running through her veins and that thought alone is insane and crazy. To think that I had a part in creating her is mind-blowing and brings out these strange emotions in me that I'm not even sure how to deal with right now.So yeah, knowing

    JuliaAre you ready baby girl? I call out to Nina as I put the last of my stuff into my bag, since Josh and Riley said that they have got to show us all the great things of Christmas, this penthouse has been nothing but a bubble of excitement, and I’m not sure who is the worst out of us all. Once, Riley told us what we were going to do first Nina ran to her bedroom to get dressed. That was almost 10 minutes ago, and I haven’t heard a peep out of her since.I go to call her just as she comes running out of the bedroom door dressed in some of the new clothes that Riley has bought her. She runs through the penthouse and straight past me, only stopping when she reaches the cupboard that holds her new coat, hat, scarf, gloves, and winter boots. I swear I have never seen the girl get dressed so quickly in her entire life."Are you two ladies ready?" Josh shouts as he makes his way across the penthouse from the couch where he's been waiting for us to get ready. "Yeah!" we both shout at the s

    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.
