A Dancehall Story: Book 7

Chapters 9 - Early Mornings

3:15 am. Tuesday  morning @ Walker's Mansion

Stacy's POV

I was up because EJ keeps waking out of his sleep and crying. I was trying to get him to sleep in his nursery but the nanny said he wouldn't sleep at all.

Kept him with me and as soon as thought he was asleep I would bring him back then I would get a buzz on the monitor that he was up again and being fussy.

"EJ please go to sleep, mommy has a headache" I pleaded with him.

He wasn't taking the breast and the only thing help was putting him over my shoulders and walking around the room.

How was I a single mother and married?

I hissed my teeth so hard and the thought.

I heard when the car pulled in, he didn't have security with him and I found it strange.

EJ was too fussy and I was worried so I called him to help me. He didn't say he was coming, so I didn't even bother to call him again or send another message.

"Daddy is here" I said to EJ

I can never get over being nervous when I'm about to see him.

Why? I was supposed to be used to the germs by now but no because she still raced my heart.

Cho...

He walked into the room and went straight to the bathroom, I guess to wash his hand because he came out using my decorative towels.

He knew better but I'm going to let that slide right now.

"He hasn't slept since?" He asked.

"No, he just wants to be on my shoulders, if I sit he will make a fuss" I told him.

"Mr. Chin, wah yuh problem?" He gently pinched his chubby cheeks.

"Take him please, I'm tired" I said.

He took him from my hand and I felt an immediate relief.

"Big man, a suh you plan to live the rest of your little life?"

He sat on the bed and held him up and I swear the baby didn't make a sound. Now I look like a liar.

It didn't matter to me because I wanted to sleep.

He rested his back to the headboard and EJ was on his chest.

"If he falls asleep you can bring him to the nursery" I said

He didn't answer.

Here I was laying beside my husband feeling uncomfortable and anxious. I was trying my hardest to fall asleep but I couldn't.

My back was turn to them. I felt when he got up and open the door so I figured that he was taking EJ back to the nursery.

After a while I waited to hear if the car was pulling out. I looked at the time and it was almost 4am.

"Why can't I sleep?" I whispered to myself.

I heard the door open and I closed my eyes tight. With my back still turn to the door I wasn't able to even peep to see what he was doing. I didn't hear foot steps, him breathing, nothing.

My heart was racing, this is the shit that happens when you give problems  and married to psychopath.

I almost jump out of my skin when he touched my arm.

"Oh fuck!" I shouted. I was genuinely frightened.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't meant to frightened you. I wanted to tell you that I would wait until a while just incase he wakes up" He said.
