Babes Stripping for Love 109. Deep Trouble
It was almost ten when Keegan arrived home and Mara was waiting for him in the living room. Looking beautiful as always. He missed her all day, and seeing her looking comfortable on his sofa was a view he could really get used to. "Cody's asleep?""Like a lump. He tried to wait for you though, but you took too long. Busy day?"It was a trick question, he knew, and Keegan was careful in answering just as he'd done before. "Busy, still trying to find your stepdad's whereabouts." Keegan had some leads and he had knocked on doors and used his resources, but it was not something he was going to share with Mara, not yet. He didn't want to worry her when he knew that she was being patient enough with him. "He's slippery, he probably go under different names if he had found me through my fake ID guy. How about the police, wasn't he let out on some kind of probation? there must be some trail, right?" Keegan sighed, knowing Mara was going to be persistent with her questions. It was not lik

"What do you mean she's gone?" Keegan was half furious when he got home only to find a note from Mara, telling him that Cody was at Seamus and Charlotte's. In the note, she did thank him for his generosity in taking them in but in the end she was going to let her stepdad find her. Keegan had read the note, then read it, probably a dozen times before he checked the guest bedroom only to find that it was empty. Mara and Cody's belongings were all gone. Keegan looked at the tidy room and found that there was no indication of them having ever stayed there before. "Exactly that, and no, I don't know where she is. She wouldn't tell me anything about her plan only to say that she will let you know when it's time. Look, Keegan, now that you know... why don't you do your best and find her?" Charlotte raised her perfect brow, silently judging him for not doing his job.Keegan grunted, while Seamus just shook his head, telling him silently that whatever he was going to say was going to be share

"B-big trouble?" Mara parroted from the other line. Okay, granted that she hadn't answered or replied to Keegan's many calls and texts, but she didn't want her focus to be sidetracked. Keegan would surely convince her to stay back and waited some more when he had enough."Yes, you ought to be proud of yourself that he has found you. He's in the same building as you.""He is?" Okay, now she sounded stupid for repeating his words. Mara had checked in the motel under her and Cody's aliases and she had been walking around town hoping to get noticed by her stepdad. It was an easy plan and she had nothing to lose, not when she knows that Cody was in good hands. If anything should happen to her, her brother would be taken care of. He was young enough that he'd forget about her when he reached adulthood. But when she heard Keegan's voice, she could hear his anger trickled with worry, yeah...it was clear as day. Mara had recognized and could already have imagined his facial expression. She ha

Mara felt pain coursing through her arm. She managed to open her eyes only to squint from the brightness of her hospital room. It took her a couple of seconds to get her bearings and reminded herself of where she was and why she was there. "Hey, you're awake," The heavy drawl of his voice made her turn to her side and immediately Mara was faced by Keegan. "What time is it?" Mara tried to sit up and Keegan helped her when she winced from the pain. "Nine in the morning. The nurse had your breakfast delivered, do you want to...""Ugh, I need to brush my teeth and I need to go pee. Can you get one of the nurses to help me?""Why don't you let me help you." Keegan smiled at her. Last night Charlotte had Marjorie deliver Mara's toiletries and her change of clothes after Keegan told Seamus's wife that he was hoping that she would be discharged the next day."Oh...""Come on, it's not like I haven't seen you naked before." He grinned and watched how her face blushed from his words. A few

"How long are we staying here?" Cody asked while his mouth was full of his favorite cereal. Marjorie was in front of the stove, making breakfast for the rest of us minding her task and trying to give us privacy. "A couple of more weeks, or at least until I'm better and get things sorted with our old place.""Oh...I thought we were going back to Keegan's home."Mara really didn't want to bother Cody with their future plans and she didn't like seeing the disappointment on his face. Honestly, she still hadn't figured out everything. Last night she was up late thinking about it. Well, part of her brain was trying to think while another was wondering why Keegan was not back. Or did he come back to his place instead? Mara was still in the middle of thinking about it when the man himself joined them in the kitchen. He greeted Cody, tousling his hair and making her little brother giggle. "How are you this morning, Cody? Sorry, I didn't see you last night. I had to work late." He said then

It was one month later when Mara finally moved back to Keegan's. They would've done it sooner if not for the job that Keegan had to do for Seamus. He didn't want her to be alone at the house when he was out of the country. Her arm was getting better, but still, Keegan said that he felt unease leaving her alone with Cody. So they stayed longer at Seamus's.Cody was enrolled back to his school under his real name, giving a backstory that he was previously in danger and had to go under a false name. But kids being kids, Cody was accepted in his social circle immediately. Mara's little brother was happy and enjoying his school time as if he had never taken the time off.Mara, with the help of Keegan, decided to tell the truth about his dad to Cody, but not reveal why the man had died. They both thought it was best for Cody to know as little as possible, though Keegan did get a copy of the 'official police report' of the incident that led to his dad's death should Cody asks when he's older

It was his day off, Keegan had planned to surprise Mara's little brother. He wanted to pick him up, have lunch, then maybe go for an ice cream, or maybe even to the cinema since he saw a movie that he thinks Cody might like. But when he was about to book the movie tickets, there was an email from Mara's grandparents. Keegan gave the email a quick read and sighed when her grandparents did an investigation of their own towards Mara and Cody and they decided that they wanted to meet their grandchildren. Keegan knew that he was going to face a very emotional Mara, but he did not expect that she was going to be that confrontational. "I told you already, Mara. Come on, baby, you gotta believe me..." Keegan pressed on when she accuses him to have gone behind her back when he told her that her grandparents would like to meet her and Cody. "Why, Keegan? I thought we were done with my family issues?" Mara sounded upset and Keegan felt bad, like really bad. But then again, he truly believed th
Babes Stripping for Love 116. Insecurity
Yesterday was a good day, Mara thought as she waited for Cody in the parking lot. It was still another ten more minutes before he was scheduled to go home. Cody was all ball of excitement the moment he woke up. He had never been so excited about school that he couldn't put on his new shoes and new backpack fast enough. Her little brother was even excited about the lunch she packed in his new lunch bag. It was not that she couldn't afford to buy him those, but things had gotten overwhelming with her stepdad that she had gotten used to spending the barest minimum on stuff aside from spending her income on food, rent, and utilities. It was not until Cody mentioned it and she looked at Keegan that she could imagine what Keegan must think of her. It was weird since she never considered it before. Mara never cared what other people think about her buying second-hand stuff as long as she has the budget for it so she could spare more for when she needs to move away. "Hey Cody, how's your da
