Proud - Keep You

Chapter 8

(Your name)’s POV:

“Mummy, this bed isn’t comfy... It’s not like my bed,” Ivy complains as it is nearly three ‘o’ clock in the morning “I know baby, but after these two weeks. You’ll be back in your own bed... In our new home,” you whisper to her as she frowns “what’s wrong?” You ask her “will I see daddy again?” She whispers, “come here,” you whisper as she creeps out of her bed and sneaks into yours and snuggles into you “of course baby... Of course you’re gonna see him again,” you whisper as you kiss the top of her head gently. “Mummy,” “yes baby,” “can you and daddy get back together again? Please? I miss you and daddy being together,” she whispers, but begs “baby, as much as I want him back... We can’t, he’s with another woman,” “am I gonna have step brothers and sisters?” She frowns “maybe... I don’t know what he has planned,” “Mummy, if daddy wasn’t with that other woman, would you marry daddy?” “Baby, if I could... I’d marry him today,” you whisper “can I tell daddy that?” “Oh baby, no! You can’t, it’ll upset him and his wife,” you whisper “but get to sleep now baby... We’re gonna have lots of fun tomorrow,” you giggle as she does too.

The clash of thunder and lightning lit up the dark hooded figure at the bedroom door of Ivy’s room, with a weapon in its hand. The sound of rain pouring outside while you have Ivy tucked protectively into your body. Her cries ringing into your ears, as you know how scared your baby girl is-

“IVY,” you scream as you suddenly awake, but the sun is beaming through your window making you calm down. “Yes mummy,” a small voice replies to your scream as Ivy steps out from the bathroom, “oh baby... I thought you’d gone,” you sigh with relief “no mummy, I was getting ready for the pool,” she beams as you smile “aww, but where’s mummy’s kiss and cuddle?” You frown as Ivy beams, but runs over to you and hugs you tightly with a big kiss on the lips, “I love you mummy,” she whispers “I love you too baby... But come on, finish getting ready, how about a nice hot dog for breakfast?” You ask, as she giggles as she jumps off the bed and brushes her teeth, “I’m ready,” she beams as you have only just got out of bed. “Okay, give mummy five minutes, and then we’ll go get breakfast,” you say as you walk towards the bathroom after collecting your bikini and beach cover up.

Stepping out from the bathroom, you had your bikini on underneath your beach cover up, because you and Ivy would be eating first before going down to the pool to relax there all day. Plus, you had just finished your morning routine.

“Ivy... Are you ready to go?” You ask as you see her waiting, by sitting at the bottom of your bed, “yes mummy... Wow, you look amazing,” she giggles as you smile sweetly and blush “aww thank you baby... And you look adorable,” you giggle with her as she blushes too “thanks mummy,” Ivy beams.

“Mummy, there’s some sun loungers here,” Ivy suggests as she takes two sun loungers, but your eyes are elsewhere. Sitting on the side of the pool, sat a mixed race man who was gorgeous! Yeah, you couldn’t see his eyes because of the sunglasses on his face, but his skin texture looked smooth and kissable and his hair was flat across his head. Instantly, you noticed that you had a soft spot for this guy. Now you just wanted to get to know him, but this will be easy, as this man has seen you and you could tell he was looking at you, from the direction of his head, plus when you walked past him... His head followed you.

“Go on then, you’ve finished your breakfast you can go in the pool and make friends. You know where I’ll be,” you smiled at Ivy as she ran and jumped into the pool, as you continued to settle everything down on the sun loungers before walking over to the edge of the pool and making yourself comfortable on it, just like the man who was about two arm lengths away from you, and still watching you.

Keeping your eye on Ivy, it had been five minutes since you settled down and this man watched you. “Excuse me... Can I help you?” You ask the man as he is suddenly taken back “no it’s okay, but can I come sit next to you gorgeous?” He asks his voice smooth and relaxing, and able to charm any girl just like he had just done to you. “Of course,” you smile at him, as he gets up and moves his way over to you. Surprisingly, you haven’t taken any interest in the tattoos he had on his body. Although, soon enough the man is sitting next to you, and looks familiar.
