Love Me Always (Book 2)

chapter 22 Ryder

"Paul, its Ryder, I've just had Bee round here, we're come to an agreement so can you stop the proceeding going any further?" I ask over the phone.

"Seriously, why? " hearing his monotone voice.

"Look I overreacted and just want to drop it." I continue.

'Fuck." He hissed down the phone.

"Ryder, you have such a strong case here, you could potentially get full custody of David, I can help you." He sighed.

"Thanks for everything  Paul, but I've made my mind up, however angry I am, I cant take a little boy away from his mother, through it all we both know that she been an amazing mum to David." I smile down the phone thinking it's all true she is a fantastic mother and does the best she can to bring our child up single handle.

"Fuck Ryder, I just destroyed My relationship over all off this. " Paul moans.

"I'm sorry, but from what I heard you were more interested in getting my money than your partner so maybe it's for the best it ended. " I said.

"Well least I can count on your money still coming through. " I can hear the satisfaction in his voice, he clearly is just money oriented.

"Ummm. Well I'll keep you posted if I need anything else. " hanging up the call.

I pull my hair in frustration, what on earth did Bee see in that man, amazing at his job, but that's all he thinks about his career. I could tell he was livid at the start of our conversation with me dropping the case, but when he heard hed still be getting his cheques from me he seemed unfazed. I mean who dates someone for over a year and doesnt even care or have some kind of feelings about it.

Ry:-  wanted to let you know it's all sorted with Paul.

Bee:- Thank you will never be enough. I'll see you tomorrow for dinner. Come round after 5pm. X

Ry:- il be there on the dot, wouldn't miss it for the world. Do you need me to bring anything maybe dessert?

Bee:- that sounds great. Thanks.

I take a stroll to the local supermarket grabbing some groceries and a bottle of wine for tomorrow, looking around the dessert isle back and forth, back and forth. I mean what do you even by a two year old for dessert, fuck I'm so not good at this.

Ry:- quick question what shall I get for dessert?

Luckily for me Bee sends me a message straight back, I mean there only so long I can stay in a supermarket without people bashing into me with there baskets, or randomly stopping their trollies in the  middle of the isles.

Bee:- anything, you know I like anything with cream in. X

Bee:- but if your asking about David, he likes ice cream or chocolate brownies. X

Ry:- Great I'll pick something then. And by the way you can have my cream as dessert. ;-)

Bee:- Ryder!!! Lol. Il see you tomorrow.

Finishing texting Bee, I go back to staring at the dessert, picking a cookie and cream cheese cake for us, and giant chocolate brownie, and well I wasnt sure what flavour ice cream he likes so I got strawberry vanilla and chocolate.

Planning on an early night ready for tomorrow I take a quick dip in the shower, before cooking some dinner and heading to bed.

Tomorrow cant come soon enough, I get to finally meet my boy. My son.
