Let Me Love You

Chapter 23

Faith

I snatch the magazine out of the bag and read it on the drive to his house. The article talks about this rare sight of Tim with a woman and all they know is that her name is Audrey. "What does it say?" He asked. "that it is a rare sight to see you with a woman. Then they said that they know my name is Audrey." "That's why I gave them that name. Make it harder to find anything else." He grabbed his phone and began talking to a woman. "hey Josie. I need you to take care of a situation." ..."yeah my friend Faith and I were in New York together for that event last night. We went exploring the city and some pictures were taken of us. I need them gone for right now. She is going through a divorce..." ... "yes. This is that girl. Tell them they will get a better story soon. Thank you Josie. Yes I will come see you this week." He said hanging up. "who's Josie?" "My manager. She is like 50 and more like my mom. She will take care of this." He said. I look down at the magazine and need to understand that this is apart of my new life. "at least you look pretty hot." Tim said. "I'm making a lot of guys jealous right now." He said. I shook my head and smiled. Even if this is part of his lifestyle I love him to much to not be okay with it. Tim cooked dinner and told the boys to figure out which room they want. Sam asked if they could paint the walls a different color and of course Tim said yes. "boys come here." I said in the room Blake chose. "yes mom?" Blake said. "this is going to be a transition for you two. Daddy is going to want the two of you to have the best things. Just let him get it even if you don't really like it. Okay?" "Sure." Sam said tagging Blake and they take off. I find Tim's room and go inside of it. It was so simple but that's Tim. He has pictures all around the room. Most are family, some are him meeting various celebrities. But one stands out the most. "that's my absolute favorite picture." He said. "that was the day we got to Nashville." Our smiles say it all. "that was the best day." I said. "dinner is ready." He said wrapping his arms around my waist and turning me. After dinner the boys and I went back to the house for the last night. "boys try to get as much stuff packed as possible." "He's not home yet?" Sam asked. "no. That's why it is best to do it now." I said. We all got my van loaded and they went to sleep. I was so exhausted and instantly fell on the bed. After a while I felt something moving the bed. My eyes shot open to see Chad on top of me. I tried to move my hands but they were restrained above my head. "Chad? What are you doing?" I asked. "well the guys at the bar were talking about sex with their wives." "Okay..." "well it occurred to me that we have never slept together." He said cutting my shirt up the middle. "I'm really tired Chad." I tried to say. "you know it's embarrassing to have to lie to your friends." He said. "Chad this doesn't have to be this way."I said trying to throw him off. "yes it does." He said grabbing my face and kissing me roughly.
