Free (Sequel to Trapped)

Ch. 91

Ariana

Sunday, 4:00 am

"Frankie, I said don't talk about it. I don't care what you think. It was my decision to listen to what he had to say and see how I felt about it. I obviously understand my husband very much and know that he's not in complete control when he's drunk. Don't talk about this when we get back, especially in front on my daughters. Thank you and goodbye."

I hang up the phone without waiting for Frankie to say anything.

It only takes two minutes to get back to my mom's house, so I park the car and get out. Frankie's not far behind me, but I ignore him and go straight up to my room, where Aviella is asleep in my bed.

"Mommy, where's daddy?"

At least I thought she was asleep.

"Baby girl, daddy is resting. You will see him later on today."

"Oh. Is he okay?"

"He's perfectly fine. Now go back to sleep. It's too early to wake up."

"Are you gonna sleep with me?"

"I will, baby." I sit on the edge of the bed and kiss her head.

"Love you, Princess."

"I love you too, mommy."

I wait until she falls back asleep to go change into some pajamas before getting into bed with her.

11:21 am

"Ariana, someone's at the door for you." Mom says.

"Coming! Frankie watch your niece while she's holding your niece."

Frankie just nods. He was mad at me for the decisions I made yesterday, but he'll get over it.

I walk out of the living room to the front door where my mom is talking to Justin, whose standing on the porch.

"I'll leave you two alone." My mom walks back into the kitchen and I step out onto the porch.

"Ari, it's cold out here. You don't have any shoes on."

"I'll be fine. What is it?"

"Well, you said you'll see me later, and it's later. So, hi."

"You're pretty happy for someone who was drunk out of his mind just a couple hours ago."

"I got some rest, and my mom helped me out a little. I feel much better."

"Well, good. I'm proud of you."

"So, um, you said you needed a day. I know it hasn't exactly been a day since I saw you, but.. Do you forgive me?"

I wait to answer him, just to be dramatic.

"Justin, I understand that people make mistakes, especially when they're not in their right mind. What I don't understand is how other people don't understand that. I do forgive you, and we're gonna forget this. Just don't do it again, okay? Because then I might just want a divorce."

"I can understand that. I love you, Queen."

"I love you more, Justin. Obviously."

He laughs, before cupping my face in his hands and connecting our lips.

"Daddy! Stop crushing mommy's face." Aviella yells.

We pull away and see everyone standing in the doorway. I didn't even hear the door open.

"Obviously there's no such thing as 'leaving you two alone' in this house." I mumble.

"I needed a picture." Mom says.

"Of us kissing?"

"Yes. Deal with it." I roll my eyes, and Justin pulls me in for another kiss.

"Daddy!" Aviella says.

"What, babe? Can't you see I'm busy?"

"You didn't give me a hug." Aviella crosses her arms and sticks out her bottom lip.

"Awe, baby, I'm sorry. Daddy was busy crushing mommy's face."

"I can tell."

Justin picks Aviella up and plants kisses all over her face.

"Daddy, I don't want my face crushed!" She screams, giggling.

Frankie gives Bella to me before walking back inside the house. I was tempted to follow him. My feet were getting cold.

"Well you shouldn't have interrupted me and mommy's face crushing time." He says, almost squeezing the life out of her.

"Put me down! You're torturing me."

Justin places Aviella on the ground and takes Bella from me.

"How are you, my little sweet cheeks?" Justin says.

I smile, watching them interact, but pull Aviella closer to me. I'm freezing.

"Ari, let's go inside. You're gonna freeze to death." Justin says.

I smile and Aviella walks in first, followed by me then Justin, who closes and locks the door.

We all go into the living room and sit down and talk. Except for Frankie, who chose to be an antisocial butterfly.

Guess what? Only a couple more parts left HAHAHA HAHA

Unless I change my mind, this book will be over soon. There most definitely won't be any more than 100 parts, so prepare yourselves for a very sad ending.

Just kidding, I haven't decided what the endings gonna be like. It'll probably be a happy ending because I'm nice like that, but if I change my mind, oh well.

Hope you guys enjoyed this part, because it's one of the last few. 😄😄
