My thoughts are interrupted when my phone rings.

"Hello." I say sleepy.

"Felicity we should talk." A man with a deep voice tells me.

I look over at Travis who looks confused as I try make out the voice of the man on the other side of the phone, when it hits me.

"Leroy? Is that you?" I ask weary.

"Yes Felicity it is me. We should talk, I'm back in town." Leroy replies.

"Is everything okay Leroy?" I ask confused from the phone call.

"Listen meet me at The Royal café in an hour. You can bring Travis and I'll explain." He informs me .

"Alright, I'll see you soon." I say as I hang up.

That was odd. What does he want to say?

"Baby, what was the phone call about?" Travis asks me.

"It was Leroy." I say confused.

"Leroy? Didn't he move to Canada?" Travis asks clearly distraught.

"Guess he's back." I reply immediately.

"What did he say Fifi?" Travis asks.

"He asked us to meet him at The Royal Café down the road in an hour, I think we should go." I say back.

"Definitly, the last time we saw him was three years ago when he just left." Travis states.

"I know." I say as I make my way into our bedroom to change my outfit.

At the Café

Travis speaks to the waitress and moments later she is guiding us to a booth in the far corner of the café and we take a seat.

"Felicity?" Travis calls me worriedly.

"Yes Travis?" I answer absent mindedly.

"Leroy is making his way over here." Travis tells me.

"Okay. Please can you speak first. I don't really know what to say." I ask Travis.

Leroy enters

"Felicity it's so great to see you, you're looking as beautiful as I remember." Leroy informs me as he leans in to hug me hello.

"Thank you." I reply softly.

"Wow Travis, you're looking handsome I  see." Leroy says shaking Travis' hand.

"Thanks Leroy, but answer me this, what's the whole point of this meeting?"  Travis asks getting straight to the point.

"There's something I should tell you Felicity."  Leroy says looking scared.

"Mmmn?" I mumble softly.

"Your mum's dad contacted me a week ago." He says trying to sound calm.

"HE DID WHAT?!"  Travis shouts at the top of his lungs while jumping out of his chair.

"Trav, calm down. Let's hear what he has to say." I say pulling Travis back onto his chair.

"He phoned me from the prison he's in. He told me that he might get bail and be out in three or four months. I just wanted  to tell you so you're aware Felicity." Leroy says concerned.

"That's fine I suppose. He won't come after me though, I hope. How can he get out?" I say my voice shaky as I try remain calm.

"Apparently his behaviour has been very good and he hasn't been in any fights." Leroy says sounding disappointed.

"He killed my mother he shouldn't even be alive if you ask me." I say sounding cold.

"Babe, he won't touch you when he gets out, kay?" Travis says pulling me closer to him and kissing my forehead.

"I thought you guys would like to know." Leroy states.

"Thank you. How long are you in town for?" I ask Leroy.

"I've um, moved back into our old home Felicity."  Leroy says uneasy.

"Oh."  I say, no emotion visible.

"Well I've got to run, it was great seeing you two. Make sure to invite me to the wedding."  Leroy says winking at me.

"Wedding? Leroy is always on another mission."  I say giggling.

"Soon my love, soon." Travis says smiling at me.

"Let's head home, I'm beat and you need to phone Jared back." I say to Travis.

"Shit I forgot." Travis says grabbing the keys to head home.

Travis and Felicity's house.

As we walk through the front door Travis spins me around and picks me up hugging me tightly to his chest.

"And now?" I ask him confused.

"I just want you to know, I love and care for Fifi."  Travis says kindly.

"I know you do Trav and I love and care about you too." I say back as I kiss him on his forehead and jump out of him arms."

Travis simply smiles.

"Now go phone Jared and see what he's looking for please, I'm going to make some lunch." I say as I walk to the kitchen.

As I get into the kitchen I grab some crisps from out the pantry and make chip rolls for lunch. I make my way into the lounge with Travis' food when I hear him speaking.

"Tomorrow? Okay I'll make the payment tonight." He says as he puts the phone down.

"Payment for what?"  I ask curiously.

"Jareds wife is having an operation but they don't have enough money so I said I'd sponsor."  Travis replies.

"That's really big of you Trav."  I say as I hand him his food.

We both sit on the couch devouring our food as we flick through the channels watching some movies.

Travis then turns to look at me. He stares at me before he speaks.

"You're such a beautiful women, you know that Felicity. I'm such a lucky man to be dating you." He says as he moves a piece of hair behind my ear to see my face better.

"Aww Travis. I'm so lucky to be with a handsome man such as yourself."  I say as I move closer to him.

"I love you with all my heart Felicity."  He says cheerfully.

"I love you too." I say as I lean in to kiss Travis.

We spend the rest of the day watching movies and cuddling.
