Don't Forget About Me

Chapter 29

We sat there in silence as we ate our food. I couldn't talk because I was still wrapping my head around my father being some big bad guy. He was the guy who tucked me in at night and read me stories for those few short years. After we finished I helped Os with the dishes. When we were done I went to walk away but he grabbed my hand. “Please Kelsey, don't close down on me now. We have a lot that needs to be worked out that I can't lose you right now.” I don't even know what to say right now because I'm just in shock. I turn to him and decide is the time I need to tell him about me. 

“I need you to come sit down with me please, I need to tell you something important.” He looked worried for a second but came with me. We walked back into the study that we were in the other day. He sat down next to me and waited. Just when I was going to talk his phone rang. He looked down at it. “I need to take this Kelsey, give me one minute please.” What else could I say so I just shook my head. Thinking to myself that I should probably get a hold of Sara so I grab my phone and dial her number. She answered after the first ring. 

“Oh my god Kels are you ok? Where are you? Did that ass hole hurt you?” The questions just kept coming. “I'm ok, Os found me and got me out of there. I'm ok don't worry. Are you ok? Is Octavius with you?” I want to make sure that she is ok too. “Yea he's with me right now, we missed our flight Kels.” Shit, I didnt even think about having to fly back home. “Do you think they will let us take another flight?” She sighed over the phone. “Of course we can change flights but I was so worried about you Kels. All I did was cry because I couldn't do anything about him taking you and by the time the boys got here it was too late. Os was freaking out, I have never seen him that mad before but he took off so fast and told Octavius to stay with me no matter what.” I can't imagine what she was going through not being able to help in any sort of way but I know that feeling all too well. 

“I'm ok Sara I promise. Os has us at some house I don't know where but I'll tell him that we need to start to head back to your parents place. Do you want me to start to look at flights for us to head back home?” There was a pause and I heard mumbles in the background. “Octavius just said that they already have our flight figured out and that we will meet you at the airport in a half hour.” What the hell? “Ok I don't know anything about that but I'll talk with him when he comes back in the room.” Os was walking over to me with a very irritated look on his face. 

“I'll see you in a bit, Sara.” Os took my phone before I could hear her say bye. “What the hell is your problem?” I asked as I went to stand in front of him. “You can't be on your phone, it could be tracked. If you want to make a call you need to let me know.” Now I'm irritated because how was I supposed to know that? “ Don't get mad with me because of whatever that call was that you had. And Sara was telling me that we are going to the airport right now? When were you going to tell me that?” I sound a lot more bitchy than I should but I'm going to blame it on the hormones. 

“That call I just received was someone telling me that my father has his men out looking for me so I decided that we needed to get on a plane and get out of here before they find us. I can deal with my father but I am not letting him near you again.” I calm down slightly because it's possible that I overreacted slightly. “I'm sorry Os, I don't know what's got into me.” But I do know I just can't tell him yet. He comes to me and pulls me into a hug. I love when he embraces me like this because it feels like it's just us in this fucked up world. “Let's grab our things and get going ok?” He asked as he looked down at me. I stood on my tip toes and gave him a kiss. “Ok, let's go.”

We walked outside and got into a car. Os told the driver what airport to go to and told him to make it quick. Os reaches over and grabs my hand that I have in my lap and holds it. “Everything is going to be ok baby, I promise.” I look at him and smile. “I believe you but it's still scary.” He brings my hand to his lips and kisses it. “We just need to get back home. You remember the way to my mother’s cottage? And the code to get through the gate?” I looked at him feeling the nerves come back. “Yes, I remember.” I say softly. 

“Good, if anything happens to me or you feel unsafe make sure that you get there. It's the only place where you will be safe and I will come to you when I can. Take Sara with you if you need to. No one knows about it but you and me.” He squeezes my hand, noticing that I am not looking at him, I'm just staring out the window. “Kelsey this is important, I don't want you to get hurt.” I turn to him and feel the tears in my eyes. He rubs one away that had already fallen. 

“I know this is scary baby but I love you and nothing will change that, I love you and the baby.” I pause faster than anything and just look at him. “What did you say?” He gave me a small smile and scooted next to me. “I know you're pregnant, I noticed it when I saw you at the club. You have this natural glow to you. I know that it's not ideal for us but I do want to keep it Kelsey. I want us to be a family.” All I could do is cry now because it feels like this weight has been lifted. Yes, I still feel terrified. He grabbed my face and kissed me with so much love that I couldn't take it. 

“I'm so scared Os, you have no idea how hard it was to not tell you because I was afraid you would leave me or want me to get rid of it. I can't lose you.” He pulled me onto his lap and hugged me. “You're not going to lose me baby, I will always find my way back to you.” We start to slow down and I realize that we are near the airport. When we pull around to the hangers I see Sara and Octavius standing by a small jet. I slid off of Os’s lap and tried to compose myself. “You look beautiful baby.” I looked at him then back out of the car. Os gets out first and I follow. Sara comes running and tries to be careful when she rams into me. 

“Kels thank god!.” She whispers into my ear.”Did you tell him?” I look at her and nod. “He already knew, I guess, said he knew before I even knew.” She looked over at him and back to me. “Is that good? Does he want to keep it and it doesn't seem like he's running away?” I shake my head. “No, he wants us to be a family.” I feel all these warm fuzzy feelings inside again. “Ladies, we need to get on the plane.” I turn and see the guys walking up the stairs so I grab Sara’s hand and we head that way. When we get on the plane I look around and this must cost a fortune. I go to sit by Os but he pulls me onto his lap again. 

“I just want to hold you Kelsey.” I lay my head on him and relax when he cuddles into me. I hope that what comes next doesn't break this because that will break me.
