Chapter 44

°Harriet

Fynn is currently at his game, so Theo and I are having a nice day at Fynn's house. We already played with Lego for a few hours and are now impatiently waiting for the food we ordered.

We of course agreed to order some Mc Donalds. Theo chose a Happy Meal with Nuggets and a Fanta and I chose a wrap, fries and nuggets as well.

Theo is about to win this round of Uno when the doorbell rings.

Thank God, for saving me from the embarrassment of losing against a 5 year old

Theo sprints to the door and I go after him.

Before I even reach the hallway, I hear him scream.

"No go away! Fynn said you will never come here." I quickly round the corner and see an elderly couple, who is currently stepping in the house with not a care in the world.

I pull Theo to me and pick him up.

"What are you doing in our house."

Nobody needs to know that I don't life here.

"Get out or I will call the police." They look at me surprised, obviously thinking Fynn would greet them.

"Who are you?" The woman asks and both look at me confused.

"It's none of your business. Who are you and what are you doing in my house?"

Theo cries softly into my shoulder and I press him into me while rubbing his back.

"Don't be afraid. I will defend us if necessary." I whisper in his ear.

"We are Mr. and Mrs. Hensley."

Please not this kind of shit show

"Cool, now leave the house." They look at me stunned, as if they had any right to just show up here and break into the house.

"I'm the mother of the kid you're holding there. Come to mama, Fynn." She says with a fake smile and high-pitched voice.

"His name is Theo..." I put my hands over his ears. "and you just pressed him out of your vagina, don't act like you did more than that." Both faces darken, but I won't let them intimidate me.

"I see Fynn talked about us. This is unexpected." Mr. Hensley says.

"Where is Fynn? We want to talk to him." Mrs. Hensley says while stepping more into the house.

"Theo, I want you to go upstairs and stay there until I come and get you. Okay?" He looks at me with teary eyes and wet cheeks, but nods. "You can go into Fynn's bedroom and watch some TV if you want." I say, give him a kiss on the head and put him back on the floor.

He quickly runs upstairs and I turn back to the two intruders.

"Fynn is not here. You can leave a message and I will pass it on. But what you will definitely do is leave the house. You were neither invited in nor did you have permission to step on this property."

I told Fynn to close the gate. He didn't had time earlier to explain to me how to open it. I told him that I will just walk down the drive way and pick up the food from the delivery person there, but he insisted to leave it open with the explanation 'nobody comes out here anyway'.

Yeah, totally nobody

"What is going on here?" I take a deep breath.

Good Fynn is back
