(Reece's pov)
"Marjorie?" I say softly, as she is working away in the office.
"Yes?" she replies bluntly not taking her eyes away.
"Look at me."
"Okay what?" she asks, finally looking at me, yet her eyes unable to stay still and are darting all over my face.
"You want to go home yet? The nursery closed half an hour ago." I say and she looks to the clock then back at me, worry plastered across her face.
"No I can't. I have to stay. You go if you want." she spits out, returning to frantically typing away.
"Okay I'll go then, seems like you need the space." I respond, walking out and making my way into the car.
Marjorie comes storming after me and taps on my window.
"Yes gorgeous?" I say, rolling down the window.
"Why the fuck did you leave?!!?" she yells. I open the door and climb out, now standing in front of her.
"You said I should go."
"Yeah well I didn't actually think you would!! I clearly didn't want you to go!!" she says, her voice only increasing.
"Let's not fight. Do you want me to come back in?" I question.
"No. I don't want to be near you. You are the meanest person I've ever been around. I can't even believe you Reece. Leave. I'll make my own way home, if I even want to go home." she screams at me, punshing me against the car and then storming back inside the nursery.
I just stand here. I don't even know what just happened, or how. If she even wants to come home? Is she leaving me?
"Reecey?" my thoughts are interrupted by a voice. "Anyone there?" they wave a hand in my face. I look down and my eye widen in shock. Mia.
"Mia?" I question, and she just smiles.
"Yes dummy. I came to pick up Char. We just heard your little row with Marjorie. Char has gone after her, I've been sent after you." she explains and I can't help myself, I lean in and hug her.
"I don't know what happened." I say, my voice slightly breaking.
"It's okay Reecey. She will come to her senses. It will be okay." she whispers, rubbing up and down my back. She breaks the hug and tears are running down my face now. She rubs them off my face, kissing my cheek, in a friendly way.
"Amelia." I turn and see Char there, with Marjorie next to her, she had obviously been crying.
"Hey baby." Mia says, walking over to Char, but she places a hand on Mia's chest, stopping her from going any further. "Sweetheart?" Mia repeats, this time her voice filled with concern.
"Reece? Really? Of course! Ha Reece." she says, laughing, Mia turns around and looks at me, I just shrug my shoulders and shake my head.
"Sweetheart?" Mia repeats, looking back to Char.
"It was always going to come back to him. I was never going to be the one was I? I was just holding you over. I can't believe I let this happen. I fell for Amelia Roberts, but she didn't fall for me back." she says, turning to Marjorie and crying into her shoulder.
Marjorie holds her and looks to me, fury and confusion mixing her eyes.
I look between her and Mia and shake my head, telling her there is nothing going on. She seems to understand and nods, smiling at me then turning her attention back to Char.
"Char my love. Maybe you need to go home." she says, and Charlotte nods into her.
"Mia, take her home." I say, and Charlotte shakes her head.
"Sweetheart, please. I love you so much. You are my forever person. Reece? Disgusting. I only gave him a kiss to comfort him, I would have done it with Marjorie too. It wasn't anything romantic. I'll love you always and forever." Mia says gently, as Char lifts her face out of Marjorie, and looks Mia in the eyes.
"Amelia." she whispers, before jumping into her arms, and Mia thankfully catches her.
"I've got you." Mia whispers to her, as Char lets herself sob into her.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. I guess I just thought because them two argued again, you would get with him, it's happened to me before, I guess I'm still so scared. But you Amelia Roberts, you wouldn't do that. I'm sorry I doubted you." she says, leaning back and capturing Mia's lips in her own.
"It's okay sweetheart. Let's get you home." she mumbles, waving goodbye to me and then walking Char to her car, then driving off, leaving me and Marjorie alone.
"Sooo...." I say, and she moves next to me, leaning her head on my shoulder. I don't dare move, just in case.
"I'm sorry." she whispers, barely audible.
"Do you still have work to do?" I question and she lifts her head of me, looking up at me with wide eyes, then running back into the nursery.
I follow her, and sit down in Autumn's chair.
"Shit. Crap." she mutters under her breath, getting more agitated by the second.
"Gorgeous?" I say, interrupting her train of thought.
"Huh?" she looks over at me. "No I can't stop, I've got to keep going. Stop distracting me. Crap. Gotta do this. This, and then that. No that and then this! Crap! Reece you distracted me for too long. Reece! Reece!" she starts yelling, but as she is shouting my name a sob rips from the back of her throat, and she falls to the floor in tears.
I jump from my chair, rushing to her side. I sit next to her and pull her into me, cuddling her close.
"It's okay. You're okay. Shhh, you're okay my love." I whisper, gently soothing her.
She grips onto my hoodie, and I can feel her sort of calming down, but still holding on tight, as if at any moment, I would disappear.
"Don't... leave.... me." she gets out in between sobs.
"Hey I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here with you. It's okay. I'm never going to leave." I reassure her, rocking her back and forth gently, placing a kiss on the top of her head.
Her sobs settle, and she finally looks up at me.
"I'm sorry." she says softly, leaning up and kissing my cheek.
"For what gorgeous?"
"For snapping at you, especially earlier. I didn't mean any of it, you aren't the meanest person ever, and I do want to go home with you. Well, you are my home, wherever you go, that's where I'll follow." she says, connecting our lips into a deep kiss.
"I love you, and it's okay. Do you want to talk about why you snapped? And why you broke down just now?" I question and she nods, standing up, grabbing my hands and pulling me up as well.
She moves me to her chair, gently pushing me down on it. She sits down in my lap, and snuggles up into me.
"Right, now I'm comfy." I let out a small laugh. "Well, everything has been really overwhelming today."
"What has?"
"Well, just work. You know when you are just having one of those days where everything annoys you, like it could be completely irrelevant but it really irritates you?" I nod. "Well that's what today has been. And everything is all over the place, and it all feels unorganised." she sits up, placing a hand on her chest, taking a deep breath.
"It's okay gorgeous. Take a breath." I say gently, and she takes another breath.
"Reece?" she looks at me.
"Yeah?"
"Take me home." she says, collapsing back into my arms.
I pull her arms around my neck, and she loosely holds them there. I stand up, holding her tightly, pulling her legs around my waist. I pick up her things, and carry her to the car, and by now she has fallen asleep.
I place her in the passenger seat, giving a kiss to the side of her head, before making my way to the driver's side, climbing in and driving us home.
*
I get out the car, quickly rushing to her side. I pick her up, bridal style, and carry her into the house, gently closing the door behind us.
I carry her upstairs, laying her down in the bed. I go and grab some comfy clothes, and slowly and carefully get her into them, trying not to wake her, pausing at every moment she slightly stirs.
I grab myself some slightly comfier clothes, sliding them on before heading downstairs, to start cooking.
(Marjorie's pov)
I wake up in bed? How'd I get here? I sit up and that's when the smell hits me. My favourite pasta. A smile dances on my face when I realise. Reece cooked it for me.
I slowly climb out of bed, noticing my work clothes on the floor. I look down at myself, seeing I'm in a pair of Reece's joggers, and one of his tops. He changed me.
I head downstairs, slowly as to not alert him, knowing that if I make a noise, he will come running.
I see him dancing around in the kitchen, humming a tune.
I stand in the kitchen doorway, just admiring my lover, until he turns around.
"Shit!" he yells, jumping and grabbing onto the counter.
"Sorry baby." I say, making my way to him. I wrap my arms around his neck. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"You were just admiring your lover?" he steals the words right out of my mouth.
"How did you-"
"The big dopey grin on your face tells a lot gorgeous." he says, and I hide my face in embarrassment. He lifts my chin up, "It's not a bad thing, it's what I love about you." he says, leaning in and kissing me.
"I love you." I mumble into the kiss.
"I love you too gorgeous."
"Oh uhm Reece." I say, bringing my hands down, placing them flat against his chest.
"Yeah?"
"I really didn't mean what I said earlier, I feel so guilty about it. You are my home. Wherever you go..." I start, but he interrupts me with a small kiss.
"... that's where I'll follow." he finishes my sentence, connecting us into a deeper kiss.
