Forgiveness, Trust & Forever

Hero

I never meant to ask her if I could stay with her all weekend, I never meant to push her that far and definitely not so quickly so the fact she said yes caught me by surprise, but it gives me hope that at least there is a chance she is open for more discussion about the baby, and even us moving forward maybe even as a couple one day.

I push my glee back down deep inside myself not wanting to give her any reason to change her mind by thinking that I am being smug. Instead, I just sit here holding her close to my chest as her sobs finally begin to slow down and I hear her breathing settle. I want the pain she is feeling to stop but then the selfish prick in me doesn't want her to feel better in this moment because I don't want to let her body go and doesn't want to be released from her side of our hug because in this moment, she is all mine again and she is seeing that I am as I have always been still hers. I desperately want to keep her right here locked in my arms for as long as possible, my dreams coming true as I get the familiar feeling of addiction rushing through my veins.

Our moment is interrupted by the doorbell and before I can suggest we ignore it she is already pulling herself from my hold and mumbling her excuses about needing to see who was there.

I watch as she rushes towards the stairs. Seconds later I hear muffled voices, a nagging feeling of suspicion is growing faster than my cock does when Emme is led naked under me. I need to know who it is, to know why her voice is being kept at such a low level obviously not wanting me to hear anything that is being said between her and whoever that is down there with her.

I drag my giraffe limbs from the sofa and head towards the window. I cannot see who is there, but I do have a sneaky suspicion that I am not going to like who it is.

If it wasn't for the contract that keeps on restricting my ability to do anything in the real world I would be racing my ass down there, making an excuse to go to my car for something or anything just to be able to get down there but Emily isn't stupid she will see through whatever I pull anyway so with that on top of the fact I can't run the risk of being seen here by anyone has my lanky ass rushing towards another one of the windows instead, straining my neck to get a glimpse from a different angle of who is down there.

I finally clock the new vehicle on the drive my eyes unable to move from jet black paintwork as something stirs within me, it is a guy it must be because no woman would opt for a truck like that.

Tugging my cap down over my messy hair I whistle for the dogs to join me giving me the perfect excuse whilst hoping the cap does enough to cover my face, not that a guy would be interested in a movie like After, so far, it is only the fanbase who has a clue about who we are anyway but I really don't want to have yet another thing to answer for with Anna and Jen, I already have to tell them the baby I thought no longer existed is actually well on its way to being here.

The dogs go rushing down the stairs ahead of me and the first thing I notice is that the doorway is no longer filled by her Emily talking to the concealed guest instead it is pulled to a near closed just enough to block out any sound from entering the flat but not enough to lock her out.

I pull the door open letting the dogs race outside, to check out our company and to my surprise they rush over to the guy like they knew him, like he was somehow their mate "Hey guys" he bends down making a fuss over them as my eyes move from him to Emily, registering the shock on her face before moving them back to the lump of a guy stood on my driveway.

I stand fixed to this spot on the driveway my legs refusing to meet my silent demands to move to carry me to the car to force me to leave as I take in what is clear to see written in the fear on the love of my life's face at what she is obviously expecting to be a blow up right here right now between me and this guy.
