Flick of a switch

Chapter 22

This chapter may have a few time skips in and maybe a bit longer than the others. Just a teeny bit.

As we walked to the room because it was dark and probably midnight I was getting called all the names under the sun by Ian.
"I was gonna pay for it bitch." He said laughing and I shook my head
"You either bought or stole the ring but you paid for the meal now it's my turn to treat you." I said pushing him into the room and locking the door behind us. He pushed me onto the bed and hovered over me. We started to get undressed and get under the quilt. That night, things got very 'intimate and by the end of the night, I was snuggled into his warm chest and we both fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up, chucking my underwear on and running to the bathroom to be sick. "Goddamn morning sickness." Megan sighed and ran a hand through her hair. I sat against the wall as Ian walked into the bathroom in his boxers.
"Hey, are you okay?" asked sitting in front of me.
"Apart from just bringing up all of my insides that I had, yeah I'm pretty good." I laughed quietly and looked up with a small smile on my face. "You want to get ready, head to McDonald's then go to the pharmacy?" I proposed and he nodded his head. "Hurry up and get in the goddamn shower then." I ran my hands through his messy ginger locks as he kissed my forehead then got in the shower.

By the time I had found his clothes and brought them to the bathroom he was already out with a towel around his bottom half. "How in the name of god do boys get showers so quick?" I said folding his clothes and putting them on a dry section of the windowsill. "Because us boys -you see- don't spend loads of time doing shampoo and conditioner and face masks for hair and then shaving and everything then sit on the edge of the bathtub with a towel in their hair and around their body, scrolling down facebook like its the daily paper."

After he finished explaining, he was fully dressed, hair dry and now brushing his teeth. "Boys are so lucky."
"What can I say? God liked Adam better than Eve. Now I'm going to go and read facebook like the daily newspaper while you take half an hour in the shower and then doing your teeth, 10 minutes doing your makeup, 10 minutes doing your hair and then you're finally ready in about an hour."
"Actually, I usually spend 20 minutes on makeup which I can't be arsed wearing today and probably 10-15 minutes on hair. You're learning babe. You're learning." I smirked and kissed him before getting in the shower.

Once I had finished I got out, brushed my teeth, blow dried my hair and got changed, I got all of my things together. Ian handed the key back to the receptionist then came out and joined me in the car. "You took your meds this morning?"
"I'm going to take them with my food or drink which you're supposed to do."
"Okay, I was just checking," I said and started the car to drive to McDonald's then the pharmacy.

"Don't mind me, I'm going to the bathroom then I'm coming to work." I shouted in the middle of the alibi and walked to the bathroom. I took some paracetamol and walked out, bumping into Veronica on the way out. She looked at my hand and smiled.
"Oh my god. Who proposed babe? This is so exciting ahhh! Congrats" She squealed.
"That would be Ian." I laughed. "And thanks. It means a lot mum." I smiled and she sighed as the twins began to cry. Veronica made a weird, frustrated noise and I laughed at her. "Do you want me to get them? They probably need their diapers changing."
"Oh my gosh, you really are my star, Hun." She said serving a drink as I took the twins to the toilets, grabbing some wipes and nappies on the way.

Once I had changed them, I put them in their pram and in a hidden play/sleep area, I made for them that only me, Veronica and Kevin know about. I sat them down and read them the short version story of tangled. By the time I finished they were asleep so I looked down my Instagram feed. I stopped on a picture of a prison with the caption of 'back home.' I knew who it was. I looked to double check and it wasn't.

When I put my phone down, the twins started stirring and started to wake up and I checked the time. I had to go and get Veronica to feed them. I walked out to the front of the bar and swapped places with her. "Hey, Kevin! Can you get me the usual?" Frank shouted across the pub and I started to pour a beer out for him and slid it to him when he sat down. The crisps were under the bar and when I got them, Kermit spoke to me.
"You're not Kevin. Why did you serve Frank?" I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"Because if you paid attention, you would have realised that Kevin was serving your little gobby friend over there."

I grabbed a bowl of crisps for a customer and when I walked past Kevin he nudged me. "You're so sassy to people sometimes Jesus." He muttered laughing and when I put the crisps in front of the customer, I walked back over to Kevin.
"Well maybe you shouldn't have such people as customers or made it so only the locals can come in here and I wouldn't bitch at the same people." I smiled at him "Can you get me the whisky from the top shelf please?"

Debbie came into the bar and sat on a stool "Why you in here Deborah?" I heard Kevin ask her and I made another drink.
"You're making it wrong." I heard a Russian accent say from the side of me. I turned to her and slammed the drink down on the bar "I've been working here longer than you Svetlana." I spat her name.
"That not a reason to make drink wrong."
"Well if you're so good and know how to make drinks so right why don't you do it? You seem to think you know everything." I shouted.
