Love You (Sequel to Love Me)

2

Cece POV

20 minutes in on our drive to the airport Ava had started to complain about her favorite doll. She forgot it at the house and insisted we turn back around.

"Ava no," I told her repeatedly.

She started to cry even louder.

"She's never going to stop unless we get the doll," Trevor says.

I call Mia and tell her we will be a little late, then drive all the way back to the house to get this damn doll.

I ask Ava where it is and go get it myself because it took 20 minutes just to get her in the car. When I open the front door the house is trashed.

Someone purposely cut the couch open and spread out its insides. The food from the refrigerator is all over the kitchen floor and I hurry to get upstairs to this toy.

As I'm walking past our bedroom door I see rose petals on the bed and a note. The note says see you soon babe in Jax handwriting. My heart drops.

It feels like I'm frozen in time.

What does he want now? I thought this was over?

I quickly grab Ava's toy and go to the car. When we get to the airport I step away to call Matt, but he doesn't answer.

I don't even bother leaving a message.

Matt POV

I wait outside the car as we're picking Nikki up from daycare. When she sees me she's confused at first but then she smiles the brightest I've seen her smile.

"Daddy!" She shrieks.

"Hey honey!" I say picking her up. "Did you miss me?"

She nods her head yes as I put her in the car seat.

"Hi girly," Sofia says. "How was your day?"

The car ride to their house Nikki talks about daycare drama and I can see she's just like her mom.

When we get to the house Nikki shows me all her toys like she usually does and we play dolls together. After a while she gets tired and I put her down for a nap. I go find Sofia in her room.

"What are you doing?" I ask from the doorway.

"None of your business," She retorts typing away on her computer.

"Well I got a question," I say walking farther into the room. I sit on edge of bed and to my surprise she doesn't say anything.

"What?" She says.

"How'd Jack get shot twice when he has a security team around him 24/7?"

"I don't know." She shrugs.

"I think you do ."

She continues typing on the computer and I try to look over to see what it is, but she slams it shut.

"Let do something fun," she says pushing the laptop aside.
