Golden Girl- Book 2

Playgroup

Collin knew he shouldn't have slept with Ell. He felt the guilt in the morning.

But, when he looked down at Ell, who slept on his chest all night, he couldn't be happier. Feeling her bare body on his made him have sweet dreams. She was the best thing that ever happened to him. It was too bad she will go back to being in the arms of another man soon.

"Don't ever let me go," Ell mumbled in her sleep.

"I cannot deny you anything," Collin smiled as he stroked her head.

All those years of dreaming what Ell would be like in bed were finally reached but only it was better. There was no way he was letting Niall take Ell back without a fight.

"So you are my real daddy?" Evelyn asked as she sat next to Niall on the train.

"Yes. And you are going to have a new mommy," Niall smiled down at the angelic face as he pulled her close to him.

Niall regreted not being there, well, ever. Evelyn was just amazing. She had long brown hair with blonde streaks, laughing blue eyes, and her daddy's smile. There was no doubt she was Niall's kid.

"Where were you?" Evelyn asked.

"I was in London. I had work," Niall answered the best way in which she could understand.

"Are you a liar?" she asked innocently.

Niall laughed and said, "No, I'm not a lawyer. I'm a singer."

"Sing," Evelyn demanded.

"Not right love. Wait till you meet Ell. She can sing better than me."

"Where's mommy?"

Niall looked sadly out the window.

"She was an angel. God needed her to come back to heaven to help little kids like you," Niall said as he kissed her forehead.

"I'm a little kid," Evelyn said with pride.

"Yes you are," Niall smiled.

Evelyn giggled as the train jiggled as it came to a stop.

"Come on baby, you'll be happy. I promise," Niall said as he picked Evelyn up and held her close so she couldn't fly away.

"Cosie!" Ell called from the front door.

"Ellie! You made it!" Cosie said as she pulled Ell into a big hug.

"This must be little Evelyn. We heard so many good things about you," Cosie said as she smiled down as the little girl hiding behind Ell.

"Thank you for inviting me into your playgroup," Ell said as she picked Evelyn up.

"Sure thing. Where's Niall?"

"Work," Ell said as she busied herself with getting Evelyn ready to play.

"Good. Ell, you're going to hate me, but there is something I have to tell you," Cosie said as she jumped a little in excitement.

"What?" Ell asked scared to know.

"There is a single dad who is in this playgroup who is twenty-five. His name is Matt and me and the other parents may or may not have messed with him that you two are destined to be together. He's coming here today!" Cosie squealed.

"Cosie, I am in a very serious relationship," Ell said as she thought of Collin.

"You two have been together for three years and he has left no hints on proposing. Ell, I know you want to get married some day. Think of Matt as your back up plan," Cosie persisted.
