In Love With A Sociopath

Chapter 26

Mary's POV

Putting my one suitcase into the trunk, I bring the hood down with a loud "thunk". 

Kevin and I are leaving to Las Vegas today and we still need to drop Celia off at Eva's. Going on this vacation with him, even if it's just for a few days, will be quite interesting. 

He did say that he would behave this time. But then again....he does lie....quite a lot.

I flinch as I come to that realization. Kevin does lie constantly. But I'm just hoping that he's being honest with me this time.

Please Kevin.

Just don't prove me wrong again.

I want to have my faith regained in you.

"You ready?"

Kevin pulls me out of my trance and I look at him with surprise. As if I didn't even know that he was right here.

"Oh yeah.", I smile and walk to the passenger's seat,"Ready as I'll ever be."

"Perfect.", he puts the car into reverse and begins to drive down the road,"This will make to be an interesting vacation."

"Please tell me that interesting still means safe...", I say in a wary tone.

"Yeah, of course.", he smiles. Oh god, he better be telling the truth.

Eva meets us at the door as we hand her Celia. I don't even bother telling her about any special of specific instruction for her because she already knows everything.

And the fact that she raised Kevin kinda just proves that she can handle anything...even if he did end up killing several students, a couple of teachers, and his father and sister.

I put my fingers to my temples and squeeze my eyes shut. Every time I begin to dwell on the incident, it fills me with such anxiety that it almost causes me to hyperventilate.

"Mary?", Eva's voice brings me back to reality,"Mary, are you alright?"

"What?", I mumble,"Oh yeah. I'm fine." I say it in a tone that clearly tells her that I don't want to talk about it. Thankfully, she's kind enough to drop the subject.

"We'll be back in about 5 days.", I hand her the diaper bag and take Celia once more in my arms, giving her a small hug and giving her three kisses; once on her forehead, and then one on each of her cheeks. She giggles as she puts her hands to my face,"I'll miss you babygirl."

"The two of you, have fun.", Eva says with a smile as she takes Celia in her arms,"Don't screw anything up this time, Kevin."

I laugh and lean in to give her a hug, even Kevin can't help but crack a smile. We give her the rest of Celia's things and head off to the airport.

"You should take your mom's advice.", I jokingly tell Kevin once we're parked at the airport,"It might just do you some good."

"Well I got you taking care of me, right?", he says as he pulls the larger suitcase out of the trunk.

"Oh yeah, I got my eyes on you.", I tell him,"You're not gonna get away so easily this time...wow, I feel like your babysitter."

He looks me up and down,"I have a pretty sexy babysitter then."

"Oh my gosh, Kevin.", I look down as blush creeps to my face,"Well let's get going before we miss our flight."

He slips his arm across my waist and we walk towards the terminal. Thankfully, there's not a huge crowd today, so we were able to get through the check in's pretty quickly.
