Never Let You Go (sequel to Where do we go from here)

Couldnt stay away from your love

We pulled into Kay's house a couple hours after swinging through the drive thru at McDonald's to grab dinner for Vicki and JJ. " So you wanna screw with Ma some""what you mean""I mean I sneak you and the kids in and you randomly pop up""Joey your going to give her a heart attack""Nah the surprise is half the fun""I don't know""come on""fine". We all jumped out of the car "ok you and the twins go around back to the back I'll sneak and unlock the door and get Ma in the kitchen and you slip in""Well normally your the one slipping in""Lee""what""I would if you let me later""JOEY""what""that's not what I meant by that, you pervert""sure it wasn't""it wasn't""can I slip in later" he had that all familiar look in his eyes that caused me to blush on the spot. "Now what do you think my answer is""a sure would be nice" I look over at him, I'm biting my lip and hope he doesn't notice, he knows when I bit my bottom lip that it's a wrap for me. "You May say no but you biting that sweet lip of yours says otherwise", I feel him lean in and whisper in my ear " let's just see what happens tonight baby" a chill just shot up my spine. "Anyways can we sneak in now please""Yea Babe,Hey why you blushing""shut up Joey!" He let out a laugh and headed in as we went around back, all I can say is I'm thankful for tablets and headphones because the twins were oblivious to everything and didn't even realize we got back to Kay's. I peaked from around the corner as Joe walked in and a few seconds later appeared in the back door and quietly unlocked it. And we walked off with Kay towards the kitchen. I waited a minute before The kids and I quitely slipped through the back door. I silenced my phone and sent a text to Joe
Me: We are in the living room get her back in here

A second later I see Joe look at his phone and slide it back into his pocket and I hear him say "Mama I left my wallet on the table in the livingroom, that was Lee she needs me to take care of JJ voice lesson payment she forgot can you grab my wallet well I run upstairs to grab the paperwork quick. "Sure son" a second later she walks in "surprise Ma""Lee, my babies your here""Hi Ma" she walked over and threw her arms around me and whispered "you came back""yes Ma only for a few days" she pulled back and wrapped her arms around the twins. "I thought you have your case tommorow""I do but Joe, I have to run upstairs and call Steve and try to get tommorow squared away"" Ok they are fine""I'll be down soon". I ran upstairs to his room with my laptop and called Steve." "Hello""Hey Steve, it's Leesa""Hi how was Boston, you ready for tommorow""about that Steve, I'm still in Boston""What are you still doing in Boston you have the Offset case at 9 tommorow morning"" Something came up with Joe""Leesa do understand how important this case is to the firm"" I understand That and I am truly sorry Steve but my husband is important to me""how long are you expecting to be gone""til Thursday""Leesa I'm going to tell you with you being the newest attorney here this isn't how we usually expect our attorneys to conduct themselves. You are a bright and promising attorney and the celebrities you currently represent adore you but I didn't get where I am by allowing emotions to cloud my judgement. I though I saw real potential in you.""Steve I am sorry for it being such short notice but he needs me and my kids need him""I understand that the kids need him, but to what you told all of us you and Joe were over""we aren't back together but he still is my husband.""Well I see that this conversation is going no where so email me everything on the case and I will have to handle it""I will send it right over""fine and we will discuss you status with the firm when you return""status at the firm what...are you terminating me""we will discuss things when you return. Have a good evening Leesa""Steve" and just like that he abruptly hung up. "FUCK!!!" I screamed and threw my phone it immediately smashed into the wall and Joe runs in a second later. "Lee what is wrong, Everything ok!""No Joe everything is not ok, I think I just lost my dream Job because again I let you suck me back in when I should've just went""wait what do you mean""I mean I was just told to send my case file over and my status with the firm will be discussed when I return to NY" "babe...Lee I'm sorry, but I'm not going to lie and say I'm sorry you stayed because if I had it my way you wouldn't even go back to New York." Tears flowed from my eyes as Joe walked up wrapping his arms around me pulling me close. "Joe""Shhhh Sweetbaby it will be ok""Joey this was my dream job""shhh it will be fine we don't know if you lost it". Just then there was a tap on the door and Kay's head popped in "Everything...Jesus what happened""He boss is giving her a hard time about being here""Oh darling come here" I lift my head from Joe's shoulder wiping my eyes and walk over to Kay who wraps her arms around me pulling me in "it's ok darling, it will all work out and if they let you because you were here with you family it's their loss""thank you Ma", just then JJ runs in "mommy why are you crying" Joey lifts him up into his arms " buddy mommy is just upset""why daddy""it's grown up stuff""why""because it is""but why""JJ""yes daddy""you know what I bet mommy would like""what""a JJ hug""ok" he leans over in Joey's arms and hugs me, it made it better and worse all at the same time how am I supposed to look at him and his sister knowing when I get back home I may not have a job anymore, how was I going to pay for everything, the money dad left to me is gone it was spent on the down payment on the house and move well we got settled there is nothing left. I'm not going to tell that to Joe and yes I still have access to all of our bank accounts but that is his money and not mine. I pulled back " hey how about we go take mommy to J.P. Licks and we can get ice cream "really daddy""yea, go get your sister"" I'll give you guys a minute, I'll get the kids ready." Kay walks out quitely shutting the door, "you ok Babe""I'll be fine I have to be""why are you even going back""because Joe my life is in NY now you know that""but you can always come back, this is always your home" I lean over and kissed him gently "thank you, but I have to do this""You always have two homes here you know that""I do, come on let's go kids are waiting on us." I feel him grab my hand and we walk downstairs, "you ok Lee""Yea thanks Ma, you guys ready to go""yeah!!!" We loaded up and pulled up 10 minutes later. We pulled up and ordered some ice cream and walked next door to the park, "daddy"" Yea princess""can we play""finish eating then you can for a little while because it's getting late it will be dark soon" as soon as we said that they inhaled their ice cream and ran off to play well Joe and I sat at the picnic table watching them play and finishing our ice cream. " You feeling any better""Not really but I can't let them know I'm worried""baby your a great attorney they be stupid to let you go""Yea well it's Steve decision and I'm not really confident he isn't going to get rid of me""he be stupid too, I have ears you know I haven't been out that long and a lot of people most musicians all have said you are a excellent attorney. I know one in particular that would pay you whatever you wanted to represent them""oh really who""maybe you heard of him Joe McIntyre" I let out a giggle "stop""what, I know 5 other people too""really who""they guys and Jess""your just trying to be nice""sweetheart I'm telling the truth I wish you could see in yourself what I see in you""thank you Joey I...""what baby""I....Ive missed this""what""you me hanging out together""I did too". I lean my head on his shoulder and just sit that way for a while just having him next to me made all my worries suddenly seem not so bad. We sat that way watching the kids run around and play and I loved that every time I glance up you see such a happy proud smile on his face as he watched him, I don't know if it all the emotions flying around my head but I find myself thinking maybe he has changed. The kids played for about another 20 minutes but it was starting to get dark and it was time to head back. We were only 10 minutes from the house but some how they had both fallen asleep on the way. Joey scooped them up and putting them in Kate's room, she had been great to give the twins her room when were her and she sleeps on the pull out in the family room. I walked up into Joey room and stripped and headed into the bathroom all I wanted was a long hot bath and to try to soak away some stress, I was in the tub not even 15 minutes when the door flew open "Babe""Jesus Joey don't you knock""not like I haven't seen it before, my mouth has been on every part of you, besides it's my bathroom""what do you want Joey""you but that's besides the point, how long you planning on being in here""dunno why""because I only have you for a few more days I'd like to spend some time with you.""Joey I still have to send over my case file""How long is that going to take""dunno however long it takes for me to scan it all and email it.""I can do that for you""I wish you could babe but Client Attorney privilege still applies""oh well, if your able to I like to chill, finish your bath I'm going to be downstairs if you need me""ok" he turns to leave. "Joey""Yea, come over here for a second" he walks over kneeling next to me in the tub. I sit up and reach over grabbing the back of his head with my hand pulling him closer til his lips were on mine and I kiss his lips, pulled back to see the surprised look on his face not expecting me to make the first move "give me 30 minutes"" Ok ummm what was that about""what""umm what you just did""what I'm not allowed to kiss you"" No definitely not the case I just thought""Joey don't think"" umm I'm gonna go downstairs" he walked out his cheeks blushed as he walked out. He headed out closing the door and I hurried out I tossed on a tank top and shorts and scanned in file and sent it over as fast as I could, for some reason I found myself rushing just to get done so I can hang with Joey. I've been fighting for so long to not want to feel anything and I am and I don't know if I want to keep fighting it.
