Allie

Twenty five

Ryke:

Two days after Allie leaving I go to grab a drink before I heard the sound of cars drive down the path. I looked out of the window to see Allie car. I stormed to the door to see another car with a man in the front.

He was posh, nice car. Well looked after. Is she bringing him here to show him off. That's when Aspen comes over to her and brought her into a hug and then they both looked at me.

Then turned away. Aspen walked over to the man, he had an suit on which is tight around. Very well looked after. Aspen shook his hand with a smile on her. Ryder came out and greeted him.

I looked at Allie. That's all I can look at. Her stunning figure and I see the bruises form onto her arms where he's hurt her. I'm fuming that she went back to him. But... I need to stop. It's her life and she can end up with who ever she and I need to her. And that's not going to be with drinking.

I turned on my heel. I headed back to the couch and sat down. I felt someone stare at me and I looked up. I saw her eyes find mine straight away. I see her staring at me. It felt like I was in a dream again. "I thought I told you to not come back here. Your not welcome." I told her. As I grabbed my phone.

"Wait!" She says holding her hands up as the man she came here with walks in. I stare at them and shook my head. "He's a lawyer! He's helping you with Quinton. Because he's sending you to court." She tells me and I stare at her. I stood up.

I walked to the fridge and got out another bottle of whiskey. I'm not dealing with this without something to drink. I'm not having my ex girlfriend sit in front of me. With a ring of her ex fiancés on her left ring finger, I'm not having her fiancés family sit in front of me. Without a drink.

I just need to have a drink. I know I said I need to get over her. And without a drink. But with this. I need one. I'm desperate for one. I see her eyes find me as I walked into the living room again.

"Please don't drink while we talk about this." I ignore her and sat down on the sofa. And I lean on my knees as I look at the both of them. "What do you want to know? I protected her while her ex- well now real- fiancé came into her bar. After I warned him to back off from her. And then I protected her as I know what he put her through. The pain the abuse. The everything. And now I'm the one getting the blame. I'm the one who's been sent to court."

I leaned back on the sofa. Taking a sip out of my drink. I laughed. "I mean the hero never gets their happening ending." I laughed again at what I said and rolled my eyes.

Allie stood up and turned around not wanting to show her emotions. "Look, Ryke. She came to me asking me to help you and that's what I'm going to do. So you have to give me more. Otherwise you will be stuck in jail because of the way your acting no one will be your lawyer. No one would want to stick up for you. You'll be in jail for how long they would put you."

He tells me and I laughed and leaned back on the chair. "This is my life. I can do whatever I want with it. I don't want either of your guys help! You were the love of my life Allie. And then you just lost it when you ran back to your ex fiancé."

"Lucas, let me speak to him." She told the man next to her. The man who's meant to be helping me. He nodded and stood up. She stands up thinking it'll make me feel little bit it won't happen. I stood up.

"Listen here Ryke! I love you too! Alright! But I'm doing this for you! I don't give a shit about myself. I'm doing it for you! Like you put your life for mine when you helped me escape! When you helped me get away! And now that's what I'm doing. So... do what ever I'm still going to help. Take it or leave it. But there's no way I'm letting you go to jail because of me."

I stare at her. This is unbelievable. "You wouldn't have left with him if you loved me Allie. You would stay here and help me out." She grabs my shirt pulling me down to her height. I'm not having this! This is fucking bullshit. I went to pull her away but she starts to talk.

"Listen here! I never met the man of my dreams before you! You stubborn idiot can't see it! I'm putting my life through hell with Quinton. I know you can see my bruises because that's the first thing you saw when I walked in. I'm going through all this again to make sure that you have a good life and not stuck in some jail cell for a long time."

She turns on her heel and I grabbed her wrists, turning them back to me, I pulled her close to me and placed my hand against her face gently and pressed my lips against hers. She kisses me back and I picked her up and placed her legs around my waist as I pushed her against the wall.

She smiles against my lips, and I couldn't help but smile against hers. "I'm so sorry Ryke." She whispers. I let my lips go from hers and drop her down on the floor. "No! I'm sorry. I never truly seen the signs on what you are doing."

Then I remember what she said when she said I'm no better. "Did you actually mean it when you said Your no better?" She rolled her eyes. "Quinton was watching me. Was listening to me from my phone and If I didn't leave you. I would be worse than what I am at this moment with bruises." she admits.

I leaned against her. God I fucked up thinking she actually meant it. "Please let Lucas help you with court and then we won't have to deal with Quinton in our life." She whispers and I looked down at her and kissed her lips again. It's only been a few days and god I have missed these lips so badly.

I grabbed my hat off of my head and placed it onto of hers. She smiles as she watches me.

"My cowgirl."
"My cowboy."
