“Thank you for coming back to me.” I turn to Jordan and smile while expressing my appreciation.
“Yeah. Yesterday was a bit much. I just can’t believe I managed to get out of this one alive. Those guys seemed so intent on killing me. I mean who would have thought that George would have been at it again already?” He takes me in his arms and smiles before kissing me on the lips.
“Mom, mom.” Kelly runs in the door after her boyfriend Christian drops her off.
She glances at the both of us and then continues what she was saying, “Christian just asked me to marry him.”
Shocked beyond belief, I stand there in awe before blinking my eyes and waiting for her to say something else. I had figured something was going on when they have been going out for 2 years, and every time I turned around she was on a date with him before we went on the run. I remember the first time he came over to pick her up, I insisted
Shocked, I called the police and they showed up in the nick of time. If they hadn’t, I would have finished this miserable ass hole off before he hurts anyone else. At least it would have been the last time he ever laid his hands on any of them.“Mr.?” The officer places a hand on my shoulder while asking.I turn to him and try to keep everything together. They have already carted off Kelly, and Lillian is in the bedroom falling apart while holding Jon.“Jordan Hill” I state without any emotion to my voice.Sounding like a robot, I even shock myself a little. I guess this is all just too much for me right now. Seeing the look on Kelly’s face as she had lie dying on the cold tile floor, I felt horrible, because I knew that nothing, I did would make a difference at that moment. She would die and Lillian would never be the same again.“Can you tell me exactly what
“Crack”I wake up to hear a loud noise coming from the other room. Seeing Jon laying next to me, I carefully try to move without waking him. However, I need to go out and find what has just made that noise.When I finally climb off the bed and glance over to make sure he is still asleep, I hear another noise coming closer this time. Someone is walking towards the bedroom, and it sounds too heavy to be Jordan. Hearing a loud scraping along the wall, it instantly reminds me of when George used to do that with his nails whenever he got drunk and was about to beat me.Hurrying to the door, I brace myself in case I am right. Then when it does open quickly, I slam it right back at him. I hear, “Shit!” Then a grunt before I feel the door slam all the way open right into my shoulder.He appears around the door to stare me in the eyes with a wicked grin spreading across his ugly face. I cry out and
“Hey, how are you doing this morning beautiful?” I ask because I feel like shit for having to leave her alone last night.Realizing that it is hospital policy, I went home with Jon but not before stopping off at the pizza joint and grabbing a bite to eat. We were both starving apparently, because we finished off a supersize pizza and a large order of extra buttery breadsticks with garlic marinara sauce. It was to die for.When we arrived at the house, Jon was so tired that he went straight to bed. But I sat up for a while worrying if George might come back. The last thing we need is for him to show up while Lillian is in the hospital. Then I might actually kill him this time.After several hours of looking at my laptop, I place it on the end table and grab a cup of nice hot coffee. As I take a deep breath in, I close my eyes to revel in the aroma before I reopen them and take a sip. It&rsquo
“You are free to go. That is unless you want to stay?” Doctor Laramie says as he flirts with me.Jordan and Jon are not here yet, because it is only 8:15 and visiting hours don’t start till 9 a.m. I will just have to get dressed after they take out the I.V. and sign my paperwork before waiting for them to arrive. Once I step out those doors though, I don’t intend on coming back any time soon. Lately, it seems like I have been here one too many times.Sure, I feel bad about it all, but I feel even worse because I have totally disrupted Jordan’s business and his life. It makes me wonder if all this was really worth it for him. After all, if he hadn’t met me that day when this all started, he wouldn’t have had his life threatened or worse watched as everything he holds dear to him burned up in a fire.I can’t believe it has been over a year since this has all started.&nb
The moment she captures a glimpse of the place, I watch as her eyes light up and she smiles bigger than I have seen her in a long time. It’s an absolutely beautiful smile and I love the fact that something we did had this desired effect on her. It’s amazing.“Have I told you just how much I love you.” I say softly when I stop the car and stare at her for a moment before we get out and I help her inside.Watching her face when I unlock the door and she walks in, is priceless. I love the way she expresses everything so purely. At least I will always know when she actually appreciates things, she doesn’t seem to be able to hide her emotions at all. That is a good thing in some respects, a detriment in others. I wonder how all this time she lived with George or is this why he beat her?Could he not deal with the constant reminder that he was never good enough for her? I so often have remin
“I can’t believe this is happening again.” I say to Jordan with tears in my eyes. Barely getting out a word without bursting into tears, I wonder “Why won’t George just leave us alone? Does he hate me so much that he won’t stop till we are all dead?” Sitting next to Jordan, I snuggle up with Jon’s head on my lap as the police officers ask us all sorts of questions. It takes two hours for them to get the dead bodies out of the rooms and then ask us what happened. Then and only then, did they leave after Detective Roberts warns us to not leave town. “Honey, will you take Jon to bed? I think he is ready now. Besides I don’t want to wake him, especially now after all of this.” I raise my hands to gesture at everything around me. Jordan nods as he stands up and stretches before he scoops him up in his arms and takes him to bed. As I sit there all alone, I wonder if this will ever be over with. Looking up when
“That was so fucking hot!” I think to myself while remembering last night as I run my fingers through my hair and stare into the mirror after taking a shower. Lillian is still asleep, but I must make a trip into town and check on the guys at the shop, because it’s been a few days since I have checked in on their progress.A couple weeks back, I was forced to get a whole new crew and it is killing me. Not only do they have no idea what they are really doing, but they don’t have the same feel as the ones I am used to working with. I used to be able to leave the shop for days at a time or weeks and be somewhat confident that they would still get the work completed. Now, I am not too sure about anything.As I shave my head, I remember the days when I spent all day every day at the shop and I lived for it, but now it seems that I am always constantly worried about Lillian and Jon. Matter of fact, that is all I do.
“Jordan!” I cry out the minute I see him. When Jon still hadn’t got out of bed, I went to check on him. He was still asleep at 2 p.m., so I walked over to the side of the bed and shook him gently. I panicked and yelled for him, because after shaking him, he still wouldn’t open his eyes. Leaning down, I place my fingers on his neck to check if his heart is even beating. Thankfully, it is and so I try to wake him again. Nothing. Realizing that I must do something, I grab my phone and call an ambulance. While waiting, I sit next to him on the bed and hope that I am wrong, because if I am right, he may not ever wake up. As I sit there silently, tears fall well up in my eyes and then cascade down my cheeks. Why? Why does this always have to happen to us? Why can’t George just leave us alone? If this all wouldn’t have happened, my kids would be fine. Kelly wouldn’t be dead
“Lillian. Where is your something blue?” Mary asks in a panic, because it is two hours before we are supposed to be at the courthouse.Looking around frantically all over the room, I yell, “I don’t know. It was just here.” My voice trails off when I see it.I stare at the Sapphire heart necklace Jordan gave me and realize that would work perfectly. Sure, I really wanted to wear the necklace that Keith had given to me before he died for that very purpose, but since I can’t find it. That will do.Walking over to the dresser, I unwind the necklace from the stand and glance into the mirror. This morning when I started this whole excursion, I had no idea that it would all come together so well. Jordan hurried off in the early morning hours so he wouldn’t see me in my dress and told me, “Make sure you are there at 11 a.m. Not a minute later or they won’t marry u
It has been 3 months and I believe that she is finally coming to terms with her father’s death enough that we may end up getting married this time. With everything that has happened, it makes me wonder sometimes if we are just not meant to be after all. I mean, she has been shot before we could get married.Her ex-husband tried to kill us all numerous times and then just when I thought for sure that we would get married, her father dies the day before the wedding. I knew that there was no way I could even push it then. But now she is in her right head again and still hasn’t mentioned anything about the wedding.“Hey, Jordan. Can I ask you something? Man to man?” Jon asks while staring at me with a strange look on his face. He has grown another foot amazingly and now looks more and more like a man every day.“Man to man, eh?” I raise an eyebrow before sitting down next to him at t
Waking up in the middle of the night to the phone ringing, I bolt up in bed startled and then glance over at my phone. The screen shows Keith on it, and it begins to worry me from the minute I see it. I climb out of bed quickly and then I hear Jordan stir from behind me as I try to reach the phone before it goes to the answering machine.“Damn it!” I hear the answering message on my phone and then I trip over the end table.My phone falls to the floor and I as well before I pick myself and the phone back up. When I finally regain my balance, I stand up and walk over to turn the light on. I had managed to knock the back cover off the phone and the battery is on the floor somewhere now.Flipping the switch, light floods into the room and then I see it when I turn around. Rushing over to it, I notice that there is blood on my knee, and it is stinging as I kneel to retrieve it from under the bed. “Wha
Hearing her at the top of the stairs, I glance up at her and see my Lillian in the most gorgeous long red dress. It looks like it is made of silk and has a plunging neckline that shows her abundant cleavage. When my eyes travel down her beautiful body, I notice that the dress has a slit that ends at her hip. Which means that there is no way she is wearing panties under it.As it brings a smile to my face, I think of all the things I could do with her, if only we didn’t have dinner reservations in a half an hour. That is just my luck of course. The moment we must leave to get there on time, I want to strip her down and make wild passionate love to her.Sighing, I close my eyes and swallow hard before she reaches my side and looks down at me. “Hey, handsome. Shall we go?” She smiles at me with that sexy grin, and then I watch as her fingers run up her thigh to the top of the slit.I start to drool and the
“That dress is absolutely beautiful on you.” Mary states while a smile extends across her entire face.I am so happy, because today I get to take home my dress. Just a few weeks ago, I was trying them all on and it seemed as if I would never find one that I liked. But then the seamstress just happened to find this one in back and when I saw it, I fell in love, even before I tried it on.Jordan will be so surprised when he sees me in it. I can’t wait two more days. Matter of fact, I have even suggested to just run off to Los Vegas and elope instead, but Jordan won’t stand for it.“I just love it so much. If she hadn’t found it on the bottom of the pile, I wouldn’t ever have found one I liked, let alone I felt was absolutely perfect for me.” I say while standing in front of the full-length mirror and admiring myself.When Charity, the seamstress walks back in, she states wit
When I take her to the bedroom, all I can think about is tying her to the bed and filling her till she comes so hard she screams my name. “Baby, close your eyes.” Still partially clothed, I whisper in her ear as I hover over her naked body.Sliding down on the bed, I reach the edge and feel the warmth of her skin disappear from mine for a brief time, at least until I grab the restraints from the drawer. Raising an eyebrow, she opens her eyes and quickly glances at me. “Hey. What did I just say?” I say in a warning voice, before I proceed to the dresser.Just as soon as I open it, I feel the hard wood on my swollen shaft as I don’t even think about it protruding from me until now. Looking down, I smile and think to myself, “There, there, boy. Soon enough.” Then I rifle through the drawer and find what I was looking for. A package of black silk tiedowns.When I have the
“Knock”“Knock”“Knock”I hear someone knocking on the door and rush to answer it, because I have been waiting for Jordan for the last two days. He went with Jon on a fishing trip, just the two of them and I have been stuck home, moping around the house. Bored out of my mind, I called someone I knew from way back when.Someone from my childhood, who just recently has become a friend on my social media account. As I have talked to her for the last several weeks, I have grown to like her more than I have ever before and now we are about to meet again. She is a lot like me and has a teenager too.Finding that I miss my friends from before all of this, before George killed off everyone I cared about. It is just too bad we live so far from each other, or we might have met up sooner. So, I grow more excited as I approach the door and when I open it, I smile and say, &ldqu
“Where did you go?” I ask curiously, because when I woke up, she was gone and all I found was a note.She looks guilty and that makes me wonder exactly what is going on. Hesitating, she finally states, “I found out something today that I have wondered my whole life. The sad part is that I will miss him even more now that I know.”Cocking my head, I hate to ask because she maybe talking about loving someone else. But I must know, so I ask anyway. “What are you referring to?”Staring at me, she opens her mouth at first but doesn’t say a word, then she closes her eyes when tears threaten to fall. I move to hold her and then ask again, “What are you talking about?”“I found that my real father is dying of cancer. I didn’t know for sure, but for years I suspected who he was. Because of little things my mother would say here and there, it led
Lying in Jordan’s arms, I stare up at the ceiling unable to sleep. Even if I had just told half the cops that I am going to kill George, I don’t care anymore. I must do it, no matter what the consequences are.It’s 4 in the morning and all I can think about now is how I am going to stop this misery. The first thing I must do is contact a few people and find out who is the most reliable and can keep their mouth shut. The next thing I must worry about is the fact that my conscience will weigh heavily on me from here on out. If it was just a matter of getting rid of him it would be one thing, but how is what is troubling me.So, I devise a plan to hire a hit man and then have him either infiltrate the prison or arrange for someone already there to do it for him. But either way, he can’t live. Knowing this, I climb out of bed exhausted and worried, but somewhat finally at peace with all of it.A
