I Only Care About You (Michael Carrick) -COMPLETED-

Chapter 41.

After the game, all the men came through into the lounge where we were sat. Levi and Kai still hadn’t come out of the nursery so I guess they were having a good time with everybody else.

The lads came in and took a seat next to us, Michael gave me a kiss on the cheek and I blushed. I wrapped my arms around his waist and we lay back on the sofa. Wayne came in and took a seat next to Col, they shared a kiss.

‘’Where’s Kai?’’ he asked

‘’Oh he’s-‘’ Col was about to reply when Levi, Kai and some other boys came charging out to their parents…or guardians in our case. ‘’Right here’’ she finished.

‘’Hey Levi, did you have a good time with Kai?’’ I asked. I waited for a reply but Levi was too busy staring at Wayne with his jaw on the floor

‘’That’s Wayne Rooney!’’ Levi turned to me with his mouth shaped like a ‘0’ and his eyebrows raised

‘’Yes, I told you he was Kai’s daddy didn’t I!?’’ Levi nodded.

‘’So this is Levi, I’m Wayne’’ Wayne smiled and waved at Levi who waved back excitedly

‘’Is Levi your nephew or…’’ Wayne said, wanting me to complete the sentence. I swallowed and sat up straight.

‘’Oh, Levi is my cousin, he’s living with us now because,’’ I took a deep breath and paused, ‘’because his parent’s, my auntie and uncle-‘’

‘’They’ve gone to sleep in the sky, haven’t they Alice’’ Levi said, ending it for me. I looked at him with tears in my eyes and nodded.

‘’Yeah, yeah they have Levi’’ I spoke in barely a whisper. Michael noticed how upset I was and he pulled me into him. I lay on his chest, listening to the beat of his heart. I didn’t care that everyone else was looking at us, he knew how I felt and he was the only one that could change my mood in an instant.

‘’It’s alright, I’ve got you baby’’ Michael whispered into my ear. I silently cried as he rocked me back and forth. I felt all eyes on me but I didn’t care. I tried to stop crying. I dried my eyes and sat back up.

‘’Sorry about that’’ Wayne said awkwardly

‘’It’s alright, you didn’t know…if you could do me, well, Levi, a big favour, would you mind giving him his own tour of the dressing room? He’s been drying to have a look inside’’ I said, smiling sweetly

‘’Yeah of course, anything, you coming to Kai?’’ Wayne said, standing up. Kai nodded and ran and grabbed his dad’s hand.

‘’Levi?’’ Wayne and Kai smiled at Levi who did something totally unexpected

‘’Only if Michael comes’’ Levi said, running round and jumping onto Michael’s lap. Michael grinned and lifted Levi up onto his shoulders

‘’Of course I’m coming mate’’ he said to Levi.

‘’Right, then let’s go!’’ Wayne declared, running out of the room, followed by Kai, Michael and a giggling little Levi. I felt so happy inside.
