When Freya met Aiden

31

"So when are you and Aiden getting married, Is it going to be a long engagement or a rush job?" "I don't know yet, Aiden would like it to be before the new year and I don't care, as far as I'm concerned we could nip to a justice of the peace and do it there one day after breakfast, and come back married but obviously we want family and friends there so we haven't decided yet, but I'll make sure you're free to come, can't get married without my best friend can I. Charles can give me away and we'll sort anything else out when we decide on a date. The girls have said they don't mind if I get married without all the family here, so long as we have a blessing in our church and a big party afterwards" "you don't want a church wedding? no long white dress and flower girls, bridesmaids, Aiden with the guys as groomsmen all dressed up?" "well Aiden doesn't want a church wedding, been there and done that and it didn't go well did it? And I'm not really religious am I? I've got more in common with Abe regarding that type of thing, so I'm happy getting married anywhere, I mean our special place would be the perfect place, but we're not taking anybody else up there it's our piece of heaven, and I'm sorry but I'm not sharing it with anybody else"

"Right girls is there anything you want to ask me about Aiden?, you can ask me anything and I promise not to get mad" "not really, the only thing that matters is that he truly loves mum, and he does doesn't he? it's not just an act because she's a multimillionaire, I'm sorry Georgie but we did wonder, he's famous, he's gorgeous, not our type, but literally hundreds of women want him and lust after him, but it's our mum he wants, someone who's old enough to be his mom, I mean Krysta and I are older than him but we don't care, so long as he truly loves mum" said Lianne. Krysta and Pearl agreed with her. "Well I can positively say Aiden truly loves your mom. You should have seen him when she went off on her bike, he cried himself to sleep, not that he slept much, he didn't eat, he drank a bottle of bourbon and when he couldn't open the second one he smashed it against the wall, he cried in my arms like a baby thinking he was unlovable and I could have gladly killed your mom then, my poor baby was a mess. He asked your mom to shoot him and put him out of his misery, when he found her guns but the only people she'd shoot was his mother and ex wife" "why would she shoot them? I mean I know he's divorced so why shoot her and I thought he loved his mom, so why shoot them?" Asked Krysta "if I tell you, you have all got to promise never to mention it to your mom or Aiden, do you all promise?" They all promised

"Right, Aiden's ex was a bastard, she used to beat him with a riding crop, never where anybody could see, but she really hurt him, he asked your mom about something one day, I won't go into detail, it's to personal, but after he'd asked her he started crying and curled up into a ball and kept saying that he was sorry and he'd been a good boy, and he was sobbing his heart out, so when your mom got out of bed he told her he knew she'd leave him, he hid her gun but he said he'd tell her where it was if she'd put him out of his misery, he'd contemplated suicide but he said he was to much of a coward to do it" Georgie pulled off to the side of the road, the tears were streaming down her face and she started sobbing, they all got out of the car and were hugging her and Lianne took her in her arms and let her cry as much as she needed to "the bastard" said Krysta "I'd gladly kill her myself, hurting Aiden like that" "I'll help, poor poor Aiden" said Pearl "he's such a nice lovable guy, I'm so glad he's found mum"

Georgie stopped crying and said "I'm glad he found your mom as well, I've never seen him so happy" "so can I ask about his mom, why would mum gladly kill her?" "Because she's never loved him, she had Ashley and when she found out she was pregnant again, she'd be in church everyday praying for a girl , so when Aiden arrived she wasn't happy, it was obvious she didn't want him, so when his sister Kristin arrived she was over the moon, she had her perfect family plus a hanger on" "oh God it must have been terrible for him, knowing you're not loved as much as your brother and sister" "it was, but every time I was home he'd come and stay with me and he'd be happy, because if anything went wrong in the house he'd always get the blame and the beating , even if it wasn't his fault" "the bastard, how could she? I've got three boys and I'd never chastise any of them, if I didn't know for certain who had done anything wrong, you can't do that, you wouldn't treat a dog like that" "well his mom did, she's a bastard right enough and he'll never forgive her and neither will I, he keeps saying we can't kill her, but I'll bide my time and pay her back one day for hurting my baby." They all stood around hugging Georgie, but she wiped her nose and said "let's get back on the road or they'll send a search party to look for us, we'll be stopping soon for a toilet break and food, the guys are always hungry and there's a diner about five miles up the road so we're stopping there"
