CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN

Alana

Leah loves the beach and after the week I've had I just want to sit my ass on the sand and watch Leah attempt to build sand castles while Rafe freaks out that she's eating sand or has sand all over the place.

Of course when he slipped and told Topper what we were doing today, Topper took it upon himself to invite not only himself but his weird girlfriend and Kelce and everyone else. People I don't really pay attention to.

So... I may or may not have told Sarah who told John B. And I may or may not have invited Sofia who I know begged JJ to take her and go with everyone else. Included Pope and Cleo and even Kie.

As I'm packing the diaper bag for the beach, Rafe pauses as he hands me a change of clothes for Leah. "So.. I may or may not have done something big without talking to you first."

"Rafe Edward-"

"I know." He puts his hands up in defense. "Listen, I think teaming up with Hollis is a good idea. She only needs 400k and-"

"Rafe!" I shout at him. "That's not chump change! That's- that's a whole lot of fucking money! We don't know if we can trust this bitch! What if she's just like Julia? John B called me and said Julia found him at the shop and she started asking him for fucking money! Talking about how we all found the gold and shit! I didn't listen to you about meeting her and we agreed to always talk to each other first."

"Yeah well... I just wanted to do something good for the company. I figured I'd take the reins on this one and give you a bit of a break. We can make millions back in place of that 400k."

"What account are you taking the money from?" I ask not sure if I even want to know the answer.

Rafe goes pale as a ghost. "I promise.. I'm going to replace it just please don't be mad at me okay? It'll be like it was never gone."

"What. Account." My teeth are clenched together as I speak to him. My breathes tight and Rafe takes in a deep breath.

"The uh.... The future fund." The fund we both agreed not to touch for several years. The one we don't even like to say the name of because life is crazy and sometimes things don't go as planned.

But I know if I don't remind him it's not just a future fund he won't get it through his thick skull the importance of this fund. The reason why we had put 500k into it to begin with.

"The future baby fund." I say plainly. "We were saving for when we have another baby and you plan to dump it into something you were just so unsure of the other day? What the hell changed your mind- who the hell changed your mind?"

"Listen I was at the bar with Topper last night and Hollis came up to me and Sofia overheard and she suggested that it was a good idea. I didn't give the money to Hollis yet I just took it from the bank and it's in the vault here. It's still secured I don't have to give it to her."

"Rafe... That money is so we can have a baby, get everything we need, get a new car that supports two kids, pay hospital bills, and have money for their college and their own first vehicles and if they need anything else along the way. That's for a new baby and for Leah. You can't just fucking take the money, Rafe! And to give it to some weird bitch who already disrespected me to my face? Right in front of you? She was hitting on you and was mad that you're married!"

"I know... Can we just have a good day at the beach today with Leah and talk about it more tonight? We'll sit down and go through all the funds and paperwork and see what's worth it and what isn't."
