The Jock - The Ashford Brothers Series - Book Four Chapter 55 - Fred Ashford
Fred POV“Shit, Fred, you need to get somewhere, go to Richard’s, or Mom’s,” Jude says and I frown, raising my head to see the light has turned green. I drive again and I have a terrible feeling in my gut.“Okay, what the fuck is going on?” I ask, and Jude takes a deep breath on the other side.“Look, are you closer to Mom’s or Richard’s house?” Jude asks and I look around to notice I am a couple of blocks away from Richard’s penthouse.“Richard’s, two blocks,” I say, and Jude hums on the other side.“Go there, I’ll let him know, and once you get there, don’t speak to anyone, go up straight away, and don’t check your phone,” Jude says and I can’t help but feel my heart tight.“Is it Tatum?” I ask and the line is silent, “Jude, is it fucking Tatum? Is she okay?” I ask.“It’s not her, just do as I asked please,” Jude says, and I agree. We end the call and a few minutes later, I am stopping my car in one of the several spaces Richard owns in the building. I can’t help but look at my phon

Tatum POVI finally could come home after staying in the hospital for several days. I had a serious concussion that needed hospital treatment. Thatcher has been very patient, and he has been spending more time with Grace, taking and picking her up from school, taking her home to sleep, and giving her every meal and breakfast. He bought her some game system I know nothing about and he took it to the hospital where they spent hours playing. It’s nice to watch them actually bonding, creating the father-and-daughter relationship I always wanted Grace to have.He is making an effort and even though it doesn’t erase everything he’s ever done to me; it helps the fact that Grace is a lot more comfortable with him. Even Mara seems to be accepting him a little more. She still hates him, she still keeps her distance, and makes me feel guilty when I tell her Grace will spend time with her father. But at the end of the day, he is here, and there’s progress between them and I am actually believing

Fred POV“What are you doing here, Ashford? Haven’t you done enough?” Pedro asks as soon as I walk into the church and he sees me. He walked towards me with such focus that I almost felt like turning around and walking away. I know he hates me, and I know he blames me, but I have to be here. I need to pay my respects to Caroline’s parents.I lost someone that was important in my life, but they lost their reason for living. They lost their only child, the girl that they were proud to call daughter. I take a deep breath as I keep my hands in my jacket pockets while my mom holds on to my arm and squeezes it slightly.“I don’t want to cause any trouble, I just want…” I say, but he stops me as he scoffs.“You don’t want to cause any trouble? A little late, don’t you think?” He says, and I look down at my shoes. I know he is grieving, but there’s no reason to speak to me like that. I didn’t give her the drugs and I sure as hell didn’t make her take them.“I’ll leave,” I let out under my bre

Tatum POV Julien sent me the address to Fred’s mother’s house. That’s where I am supposed to meet him. The coast is clear there because she is with him and the press won’t be around the house, not when they are not there. His family has been through the scrutiny eye of the press and everyone around them. The amount of scandals they have been going through is unbelievable. Their father is one of the biggest fuck ups in their lives, and I can’t even imagine how they all feel about him, what I read about the man he is a piece of shit and he uses their name and money for many fucked up things. Fred never really talks about him, and when he does, I can hear the hatred in his voice. The man is terrible. The Uber stops at the gate and presses the button, and I lean forward to speak. “How can I help you?’ I hear someone say. “Tea Time,” I say as the code word that Julien told me to say. The gates open and the Uber driver takes me to the front door. The house is gigantic, and I never thought

Tatum POV“Come, I want you to meet my mother and my brothers officially,” Fred says, and I look at him with horror plastered all over my face. We have been fucking for hours on end inside this room and I bet they know that and he expects me to meet them right after a full-on sex session?“Are you sure now is the best time for us to do this? This room smells of sex, and so do we. We haven’t even showered. I have dry cum down my legs and you expect me to meet your mother?” I say and he chuckles as he lightens up a little. He doesn’t look as sad as he was, but he doesn’t look like his old self as well.I know what happened took a big toll on his life, and I know he will never be the same person he was before. Events like these tend to change a person, and the way it happened is bound to leave a mark on him. Fred will always be associated with Caroline’s suicide. He decided to keep her letter private. He prefers to be seen as the bad guy than to expose her. He is a brave man, a good man,

Fred POVLetting Tatum leave my side is the worst thing I have to do every day. We’re still hiding our relationship from the press and from the public and I am enjoying this time just the two of us, without people knowing, without people making up stories about us.I have to say the most surprising thing that has happened since Tatum and I got together was Thatcher calling me and asking to meet for a chat. And that’s why I am getting ready now. I am going to be face to face with my team captain who hates my guts and loves the woman I love. He thinks he has some stupid claim over her because they have a child together.Even though Tatum says he has been great, not standing in the way and keeping up the appearances she needs, he is not really talking to her. He has been avoiding her like the plague for the last week. I put my watch on before I grab everything else I need before I leave the house.We agreed to meet at the stadium, as it would be the most private place we could be without

Tatum POVToday has been a day from hell, and I am exhausted. I have been dealing with a girl claiming she is pregnant by one of our guys. He swears he has never seen the girl in his life and this is becoming absolutely stupid. Obviously, DNA test will be done. Why can’t these guys keep it in their pants? Is it that difficult?I am picking up Grace today, Thatcher had a meeting with his management team and I know he can’t tell them he can’t just show up, they are all in negotiations for the new season, who’s staying on the team, who gets transferred. It’s always a very stressful time for everyone involved.I know Fred hasn’t received any transfer offers and I have to say I am happy about that. I don’t know how I would feel if he left New York. I know it’s not impossible, but it would be difficult to maintain a long-distance relationship especially because they travel a lot during the season. Obviously, at some point, he would come to New York and the team would go to wherever he is, b
The Jock - The Ashford Brothers Series - Book Four Chapter 62 - Tatum Reid
Tatum POVI still can’t believe what is happening. Thatcher is going crazy as he walks around the house, pacing, taking deep breaths, and punching walls. He is controlling his anger, even though now would be a good moment to let go and explode, because that’s how I feel and that’s exactly what I want to do. Explode.Everything Thatcher told me about Mara seems so weird to me, I never thought she would be interested in him, she always seemed so annoyed by him, and now it kind of makes sense, if he turned her down for me… No guy turns her down for me. She is amazingly beautiful, bubbly, and the life of the party. I was always bullied and made fun of, shy, and she always took me under her wing.I bet it didn’t feel good for her to be rejected because of her best friend. If I had known, I probably wouldn’t have gotten involved with Thatcher, but then I wouldn’t have Grace. I think Mara would never hurt Grace. She wouldn&rsq
