Life In The Fast Lane (SLOW UPDATES!)NOT COMPLETED!

Chapter 18: Time Alone

After the show I walked off the stage, and was greeted to a smiling Colson and Hunter. I never saw Matt, which made me calm down a little bit. There were no texts, no calls, nothing. I gave my boys a hug and a kiss and began to walk into the dressing room when I heard a familiar voice. "Nice to see you too sis.", "Fuck." I whispered under my breath, I turned and standing right in front of me was my sister. She was about as tall as I was, same black hair, except hers was cut short into a bob. Unlike me she had no tattoos, and was a bit on the heavier side. She had big black rimmed glasses on, a light purple button up with black slacks and black heels and a gray petticoat. I hugged her and she hugged me back. "I'm so sorry, I forgot you were coming, there was a lot going on today." She raised her hand up, a signal that she didn't want to hear anymore. "Well how about you start with introducing me to this strange man holding my nephew." She gave Colson a seductive smile, I looked to him and his eyes were piercing me, obviously feeling awkward and wanting my assistance. "I'm sorry, I'm being so rude, Penny, this is Colson, Colson this is my sister, Penny." She stuck her hand out in an attempt to be nice, so he shook her hand and said hi. Her smile grew bigger, "Well I wish I could say that my sister has told me so much about you, but unfortunately she hasn't. So why don't you tell me about yourself?" She took Hunter out of his hands, handed him to me and then began to walk off with Colson. "Um, Penny? Why don't you say hi to your nephew first while we go clean up? We haven't showered yet and we're covered in sweat." I put Hunter back in her arms and grabbed Colson before running off into the bathroom. "Oh my god thank you." He whispered, "Is she always like that?" He looked at me with wide eyes. I giggled, "Whatever could you mean babe?" I said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes at me as we stripped and got into the shower. I would like to tell you that we had fun in there, but we were both so worried about Hunter that we washed up as fast as we could and got out. "Well I hope tonight will be more fun." Colson gave me a seductive smile and kissed my forehead before walking out of the bathroom. I grabbed his hand and followed him, letting him take me to the room where our son was. When we opened the door I saw my sister on the floor with Hunter playing, once he realized that we were in the room his smile grew. "Mommy!!" I couldn't help but to smile until I saw my sister roll her eyes at me before getting up and start walking towards Colson. His worried look made me giggle to myself, so I picked my son up and walked over to them as fast as I could, positioning myself in between them. "So Penny, what's your plan with Hunter this weekend? Anything fun?" She gave me the dirtiest look before answering, "well I was thinking about going to the zoo, maybe buy some new toys. You know, spoil the only nephew I got and never get to see or talk to." She sounded aggravated and got more and more aggravated with every word she spoke. I looked to Hunter, who was still in my arms and smiled at him. "Sounds like you get to have tons of fun baby!" He smiled a small smile and shoved his face into my arm. I really didn't want to let go of my son for two whole days, but Colson and I needed some time to find Matt and put an end to all this craziness, plus we wanted to be adults without worrying about​ our kids for a change. I just squeezed my son as much as I could, took in his smell, he was three years old and still had that new baby smell, I kissed him all over his face, and made sure I told him I loved him every single second. I don't know how long I stood there like that with my son, but eventually I heard a loud sigh coming from what I could only assume was from my sister. "Okay Ten, time to give him up, I do have things I need to get done ya know." Penny stood there with her arms out towards us, her right foot tapping the floor as she grew impatient. "Ready for your sleepover sweets?" I looked Hunter dead in eyes as I asked that question. He grinned from ear to ear and said yes. I handed him off to Colson so he could say goodbye, then Colson handed him over to Penny. "Well it was nice meeting you Colson." She gave him a wink before looking over to me, "Sis, same as always. If I need anything I'll call. You know all my info. I'll need you to pick him up though so make sure you call. Wave bye to mommy!" Penny grabbed Hunter's bag and walked out of the door as quick as she could. We followed them out and stood in the hallway to watch as our son disappeared with his aunt. Tears streaming from my face as Colson held me as tightly as he could. He took his index finger and gently lifted my head up to look him in the eyes. "Are you okay babe? You're taking this harder than I expected." I just nodded, putting my face back down into his chest. "It's just hard, I know my family hates me, so that makes me worry about him, but after his dad died he just became glued to me. I haven't been without him next to me in forever, the farthest he's been is a few doors down. Not miles away with someone who hates me. I don't know, maybe I'm just freaking out over nothing.." He kissed the top of my head, "Baby, mother's freak out for a reason. If you don't trust this we can go get him." I shook my head at him, "No it's okay, we need this time, who knows, maybe it'll be good for my relationship with my son, god knows I don't want him turning into a Norman Bates or something." Colson belted out a loud laugh, making me laugh right along with him. After about a minute of that we decided it was time to go to the house. We packed up our shit and said goodbye to everyone, I told Ash that I'd text her my address in the morning, then we were off. Colson drove for me this time, I was still a little too emotional for that. The ride was roughly over an hour long, so we got some snacks and some great tunes, The Doors to be precise, held hands and just jammed out the whole way up there. I was having a great time with him, I was loving our alone time so far, but I couldn't get over the feeling that we were being followed. The uneasy feeling in my stomach never went away. 'You are NOT going to ruin tonight with your anxiety bullshit Tenley! Shut up!' And that's what I told myself the whole way home, I should've listened to my gut.
