ChristianI swear this has been the longest night of my life. After Molly fell asleep on me out on the swing I kept her with me for a little while then carried her in and put her to bed. The poor girl was so worn out that she didn't even stir the whole time that I carried her. Tom and Callum had the kids in with them so I put Molly in my bed and I took the couch. I knew that I wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight so it really didn't make any difference to me and I was right, it's almost 4 am and I'm still laying here wide awake.I've tried everything I can to get some rest even the old classic counting sheep but nothing will work, my brain just won't shut off. Katie is at the very front of it and I can't get my mind off of her. I just keep praying that she's ok that Amy has got her somewhere safe. I reckon she has as all she cares about is getting her hands on the money and if keeping Katie safe and looked after is the way to do it then she will, that I believe more than anything.T
ChrisitanTom and Molly left for the bank almost an hour ago which means they should be here any minute, not a minute too soon if you ask me. I pace along the long driveway as I anxiously wait for them to get here with the money for Amy. "Chris, your going to wear a hole in the ground if you don't stop soon." Jack grabs hold of my shoulders bringing me to a sharp stop. "It's going to be ok, Chris we're almost there."I give him a nod as I will my body to stay still but it's a struggle, I feel like I have way too much energy and need to burn some of it off which is hilarious considering I didn't even get a wink of sleep last night and I haven't sat down since the kids got up at 5,30 am. Thinking of Sophie and Brody brings a smile to my face. My Mom asked them if they wanted to go to the movies today to see some new Disney film that's out and between that and the promise of popcorn and candy, I'm pretty sure that they were close to exploding with excitement and it was the cutest thing t
Christian"You have got to be kidding me, Amy!" Whenever I think that she can't shock me anymore she goes ahead and does just that. I've had a niggling in my brain all night telling me that she wasn't done yet and I think that's one of the reasons that I couldn't sleep and now here she is proving me right once more."Why the fuck do you need more money, Amy? Surely one million is more than enough for your drugs an-""Tom, wait!" He looks at me shocked and confused at why I'm stopping his rant. "Not in front of her." I nod at Katie who is cuddled up in my arms and I know he now gets it by the look of understanding that he gives me. "Sugar, I'm sorry baby girl!" He walks over to me and kisses her on her head. I know she's only a baby and doesn't actually understand what's being said or what's going on but still, I don't want her witnessing any of this."I'll take her." Callum comes to a stop at the side of me, they must be able to hear us inside the barn. "Hey bubble bum, wanna come cud
MollyFuck Amy has more front than Walmart, asking for more money when she's about to become a millionaire any day now. Although I can't say that I'm surprised that's why I withdrew that extra fifty grand. I just wish that I had been wrong about her but once again she sinks to new lows.It took everything in me not to knock her out when I heard her saying that she would keep Sophie and sell her to someone else. The bitch is crazy if she thinks that any of us would ever let that happen. As much as I despise giving her any money, I would give her my last to keep those kids safe.Another thing that's pissed me off about her wanting more money is that I was the one who had to go out and sort it with her. When Tom and I had picked the money up from the bank I was so concerned with getting it to the farm safe that I forgot to tell him about the extra money that I had withdrawn and so he was stuck at that moment and now... well now I'm pretty sure Christian knows that it's my money or at the
Christian "What do you mean she's gone, gone where?" A sinking feeling hits my stomach like a rock but I won't let it affect me not until Tom says the words I have a feeling he's going to. He stands from the table finishing his beer in one swift mouthful before heading for the fridge and pulling out two more and passing me one. "I can't... I promised Chris. I promised I wouldn't say." He looks torn and I hate to put him on the spot but there's a difference between her going to Penny’s for the night and leaving Huston. If she's at Penny’s because she needs a break then as crap as that will be I will deal with it for a night, I'll have no choice but if she has left Huston or is on her way to leaving then I need to know, and now. I have to stop her. She can't leave Huston. She can't leave me. "Can you answer me this then is she still in Huston?" He takes a moment to think about his answer before nodding his head. A puff of air leaves my mouth as I feel relief flood me. "For now anyway
Christian The traffic on the way to the hotel is busy, much busier than normal for this time of the day and it's pissing me off! Why the fuck is everyone out at the one time that I need the roads to be clear or at least as little traffic as possible? I swear everything is a fucking battle lately and I'm surely about due a break, right? My phone ringing through the car stops my loud cursing at the ass in front of me who's going 15 miles an hour and grating on my last fucking nerve. I notice it's Tom and I'm quick to answer, he may have something new that I need to know. "Hey, brother. Everything ok?" I can hear the kids in the background laughing and it instantly has me smiling. "Yes, brother all good. Are you there yet? Only the kids wanted to say goodnight to you before Zack reads them their bedtime story." "No, I'm stuck in flaming traffic that's never about at this time of the day! stick me on speakerphone." I hear the phone click before the voices of my babies come through. "Hi
MollyI feel so lightheaded that I wouldn't be surprised if I fainted at any moment. Christian has turned up here, kissed me like his life depended on it and is now pinning me down on his lap by my hips... Fuck my life! Why has he come here when he could have just stayed away without having to see me again just as he has always wanted? Why is he acting this way? and more importantly, why the hell do I like it so much?As for Tom, that little shit is going to pay for this, not only has he told Christian where I'm staying but he must have given him my room number too because there's no way the receptionist would hand out that information, she isn't allowed. "Molly, you ok?" I blink as I put my attention back on Christian completely forgetting that he was just talking to me. I'm so distracted by the hard bulge that I can feel under my ass that I zoned out for a moment there."Yes, sorry. So you want to talk about... us?" He nods his head with the sexiest smirk across his face and hell it
MollyI'm stunned by his words, stunned enough that it's left me speechless which is a rare thing, trust me. He leans forward and places a gentle kiss on my lips and it seems to bring my focus back where it's needed. "Molly, don't go. Please don't leave. Forget about your flight and come back with me. I don't technically have a home right now but I will soon and I want you there with me."His words make me smile for a moment but the fear that I've been feeling soon takes back over. "Molly, talk to me, sweetheart." There's so much I want to say but my throat seems to have tightened up making it hard to say the words, to admit the truth but I still force them out. "I'm scared," My words sound raw as if I've been swallowing razor blades but they are true and it's a truth that I don't like admitting."What are you scared of baby?" He takes his hand off my hips and slides them around my back pulling me into him until we are chest to chest, racing heartbeat to reaching heartbeat. "I'm scare
