Bury the hatchet?

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Over the course of the next few weeks I'd hung out with Craig almost every day. Leila visited him twice a week and I helped entertain Leila by going with her and Craig on day trips. As for Craig and me? We were almost 5 months strong and I'd never been happier, I knew things were a lot different from last time and I knew that it was just meant to be.

Leila absolutely adored me, she'd always cling to my side whenever we were out anywhere it was so adorable, most of the time she got mistaken for my own child, which made me happy. And Gabby had also accepted the fact that Craig was happy and had apologized to both of us for being so childish.

-A few weeks prior-

Craig and myself had decided to take Leila out to Disneyland for the day, she was so excited and she could barely sit in her seat the whole journey. After almost an hour in the car we finally arrived. She jumped out of the car and almost ran off into the park; luckily Craig caught her before she disappeared.

Craig and me held one of her hands each as she dragged us around the theme park not wanting to miss a single section. She went on all the rides she could also dragging us both on them, bearing in mind I have a very nasty fear of roller coasters I was probably screamed more than Leila which made Craig piss himself with laughter. After she'd dragged us on rides and around shops she complained that she was hungry so Craig and me found a restaurant. Leila ran off to find a table, an old woman who was sat at one of the tables smiled.

"So full of energy when they're young aren't they?" I heard her strong Irish ascent flow through as she spoke.

"Full of beans." I replied smiling politely at her.

"Yeah too many sometimes." Craig added making the lady laugh. "Go sit down babe I'll get the food." I nodded and kissed him before sitting down at the table Leila had picked out which was beside the old lady's table.

"You two make such wonderful parents." She said.

"Aw thank you but she isn't mine, she's my boyfriends." I said pointing to Craig who was currently ordering our food.

"Well when the time comes, you'll be a wonderful mother." She said before getting up and leaving, it wasn't very often that you met people as nice as that.

"I'm glad you and daddy got together." Leila said out of the blue, I smiled at her.

"So am I sweetheart, so am I." She grinned and began talking to me about what she's been doing in school, I couldn't even remember being that excited about school but I found it so cute. Craig joined us a few minutes later carrying a tray of food Leila cheered and instantly began eating.

The ETF guys had been put on the line up for uproar festival which begun in a couple of weeks. I knew I was really going to miss Craig and the rest of the guys but it was 3 weeks I could deal, the only thing that bothered me was the fact that my birthday fell a week before the guys came back which meant that they would miss it but Craig had promised me that he's make it up to me once he got back.

I also hadn't seen a lot of Ronnie or the FIR guys as they'd been working on their new album, they were all so excited about it and Max had joined Falling in Reverse a few weeks ago which meant double trouble when him and Ronnie were together.

"Hey babe can I ask you something?" Craig asked me as we were sat on the couch one afternoon.

"Of course."

"You know we've got this tour coming up?" I nodded at him to continue. "Well our merch person pulled out yesterday and we kind of have no one to sell merch."

"Right?" I had an idea where he was going but I didn't want to jump to conclusions.

"Well we were wondering if you wanted to come out and be our merch girl again?" He asked a small, cute smile made its way onto his face, I knew what my answer was going to be but I wanted to mess with him slightly.

"Hmmm," I smirked tapping my chin in thought, I saw his smile get bigger. "Fine I guess I'll go." He flung his arms around me and hugged me tightly. "Alright Mabbitt calm yo farm."

"Calm yo farm?" He questioned.

"Yeah basically calm the fuck down." I grinned.

"You're such a knob." He chuckled.

"Yeah but you love me." He leaned in and kissed me.
