Libby

We said bye to everyone. "Shall we go get that drink now?" Freddie asked "Yes we may" I reply "Bye aunty Kat by Uncle Alf" Freddie said hugging them "where you two off to?" Alfie asked "the vic for a drink" I replied "don't go kissing All night mick won't be happy" Kat said "go away you two" I laughed walking out with Freddie by my side

We walked into the vic laughing and I saw my dad "hello Fred oh hello Libby where've u both been ?" Dad asked suspiciously "I was helping Freddie here with the djing and lighting at Alfie's Panto" I smiled and so did dad "where's the wicked almost step mom" I ask "don't start that shit again Libby why do u hate her so much" dad asked as mom came from the toilets "who's this handsome young man" mom asked "I'm Freddie Slater" Freddie introduced himself  "Linda Carter this one's mother" mom smiled "ah now I know where Libby got her good looks from" Freddie smirked "hey watch it you" dad said pointing a finger at him

2 minutes later Janine ran down the stairs with Shirley "oh no Libby your room is being turned into a nursery I thought you were buying a flat from what you said I'm so sorry love" dad said and Janine grinned "don't worry I'll crash at Kat's" I say taking the last sip of my drink "come by tommora you are working 8am-7pm " Mom said "ok cya tommora" I grab Freddie and walk out the pun

"Where are u staying" I ask "you'll see" he winked at me we walked through the gate and knocked on the door which Kat answered "hey Kat can I crash here for a while my dad said my room is now a nursery" I plead "Yes of corse you can but Since this is only a 3 bed and the boys have to share you have to share wish smiley over here" she pointed at  Freddie who bit his bottom lip 

"Uhm ok" I say as me and Freddie went to the room him carrying my stuff "uh if you feel uncomfortable I can sleep on the sofa" Freddie spoke "no it's ok, I'm gonna shower" I say

I come back from the shower and see Freddie sat on his phone I was still stood In my towel getting my underwear and pjs out of my suitcase. I look back over at Freddie to see him staring at me so I cleared my throat "uhm sorry" he said looking away "it's fine I'm gonna get changed and brush my teeth and then it's all yours" I say "ok" he smirks at me as I went into te bathroom and changed into my plaid pj trousers and a black crop top with a dressing gown.

After a while I fell asleep and I think Freddie got into bed because I felt an arm round my waist

I woke up this morning hearing the shower run so I knew Freddie was in there since nobody was on the bed so I went downstairs to se Kat and Stacey talking "ere she is, didn't do nothing nasty lastnight" Kat and Stacey laugh "shut ur gobs u two" I said sitting on the couch in between them. After chatting "Has anybody got a nice deodorant I can borra?" Freddie came walking in with only a towel hanging low around his waist, I tried my hardest not to look at his v-line but I couldn't help it I blushed as Kat and Stacey looked at me "uhm Libby do u have one?" Kat said as I death stared her "yea I'll get it" I got up brushing past Freddie through the small doorway and he followed me

I gave him the deodorant as he smirked at me, I looked at my alarm clock swing it's 8 somet so I got my clothes and changed in the bathroom brushing my teeth then saying goodbye to Freddie, Kat, Stacey and the lads

I got to the vic and saw Janine working with Shirley, "hiya Shirley" I say coming behind the bar "hey Libby you know how to work the register right?" She asked "yes of corse" I say serving customers

Four hours into my shift it's now 13:30pm and Freddie walked through the door

"Hey libby" he smiled "hey Freddie want a drink" I ask "yea can I get a beer please" he said sitting on a bar stool

"Are u sure your not underage?" I laughed

"I'm 43 tomorra" he smirked "well I betta throw you a party init" I smile "I'd love that" he winked at me drinking his beer "what time do u finish again" he asked "7pm so 6 hours" I say "I best get home or do you want me to walk you" he said "you can go if you like I'll be fine" I smile "ok I'll see you at home darlin" Freddie said smiling and leaving

"Bye Dad bye mom" I say walking away "Bye sweetheart" they said as I walked back and knocked on the door which Freddie answered, he stood shirtless in front of me wearing only grey sweatpants and the top of grey Calvin Klines can be seen

"got a bit of drool there darlin" he laughed as I smacked his arm walking past "hey Kat and oh hi Alfie" I say feeling Freddie come from behind me and leaning on the doorframe

"Wow wow what's going on ere then" he pointed at my and Freddie "their staying ere because her dad changed her room into a flipin nursery, and he has nowhere else to go" she shouted

"Please tell me Kat are they in the same bed" he asked "Hey were stood ere Uncle Alfie" Freddie said

"I'm going for a shower" I say "Oi Libby do you want him to follow ya" Alfie laughed as Freddie smacked his arm "go on darlin but no promises he'll be dead by the time u come back" Freddie shouts "Oooo darlin ay?" Alfie teased and Freddie smacked the back of his head

The next day I got out the shower I got changed and went downstairs to see Alfie and Kat arguing in the Kitchen and Freddie, the boys in the living room playing their X-Box "Hello" I say sitting by Freddie "hello Libby do u want to play cars with me" Bert  said softly "I'd love to-"I said but was interrupted by a door slamming I looked at Freddie and ran to the kitchen "Kat what's happened" I say to a crying Kat "I kissed him, I didn't mean to" She cried "do you want me and Freddie to take the kids to the park and give u some alone time" I ask since I knew she needed it "that would help Libby ur such a star thank you" She replied going to run herself a bath "alright kids get your coats we're going to the park" I say as the kids screamed 'yay' and grabbed their coats Freddie stood and I explained everything then I told him to put a shirt on and he put his grey tracksuit on and had a black side bag "let's go" I say hurrying the kids alway from the drama
