Happily Ever Never!?!

CHAPTER 13: Wish Me Luck

PENNY

Few weeks go by since Framez has moved in and ever since Mr. Radcliffe has had Cade working more for him. I'm hoping that their plan will work but I'm still afraid deep down inside a little bit. 

Framez has been helping out with Charlie and bonding with him. I think he's a cool person to have around and Cade was right, I do feel safer when he's here while Cade is gone working. However, there is one thing I wish he wouldn't do which was bring a different girl home every night in front of Charlie. I mean, at least wait until he goes to bed. 

Today, Charlie and I were playing in the pool and as it got closer to the time when Cade would come home, both Charlie and I got out and got ready while I got dinner ready. 

When I was done getting dressed and opened my bedroom door to head downstairs to make dinner, I jumped back a little as I saw Framez standing right in front of me, smirking. 

"You scared me." I reply. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." He says. 

"It's okay. I'm about to make some dinner. Are you going to be joining us tonight?" I asked. 

"Nah. I've got plans." He states. 

"Okay." I nod. "Well, before you you leave, I've been meaning to talk to you about the different girls you've been bringing home every night. I know that you're a grown man and you have needs and a certain lifestyle, but because our son is still young and impressionable, please at least wait until he goes to sleep." I hesitate in telling him because I feel a bit uneasy all-of-a-sudden around him. 

"Hmm." He says. "Would you rather it be you?" He asks in a low and smooth tone of voice. 

"What?" I asked. 

"You know, ever since Cade let me stay here and I got to meet you, I've been fantasizing about you." He tells me while moving closer to me as I start backing up. 

"Please don't say that." I tell him. 

"Why? Do you feel the same? I bet you I can make you scream in pure pleasure more than he can." He says as I feel my back hit the bed post and he gets within kissing distance.

"Please get out." I start to tell him.

"Come on, I bet I can make you come multiple times." HE says as he gets closer to my neck. 

I begin to tear up and feel disgusted before trying to push him off but the son-of-a-bitch grabs my wrists and holds them down beside me and as I struggle even more to break free from him, I then hear Charlie call out for me from downstairs. 

"Mom!!" He calls out. 

"You better not tell Cade about this." Framez threatens me. "Cause if you do, I promise that I'll make both your lives a living hell!"

I nod my head in agreement. 

"Okay." I reply. 

"Good girl." He smirks and then walks out of the room. 

I close the door behind him and lean back against the door as I let out a quiet cry of disgust and yet frustration at the same time while also trying to pull myself together before heading downstairs. What can I do? Can I really tell Cade? Or should I take Framez's threat seriously? I think I'll need to think about it. After hearing about what he has done to so many throughout the years, I'm a little afraid and even more afraid that Cade might not believe me or worse, he could hurt Charlie. 

I quickly wipe the tears from my eyes and fix myself a little and then head down into the kitchen and start preparing dinner. 

Throughout eating dinner, even though Framez wasn't here, I still felt like things were a little awkward. On one hand I was thinking about if I told Cade and the consequences from telling him. 

"Penny?" I hear Cade say my name, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

"Yeah?" I respond. 

"Are you alright?" He asks me as he takes a bite of food. 

"Uh, yeah. Sorry, it's just been a long day." I lie. 

"Oh." He says. 

When dinner was over and after Charlie was tucked in both Cade and I were getting ready for bed ourselves and after I got done brushing my teeth and walked over towards the bed, I saw Cade laying in bed, smiling at me as he props his head up with his hands on the back of his head. I get under the covers and he right away wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to his chest and starts kissing me on the lips before we begin spooning. 

"I love you." I tell him. 

"I love you too baby." He replies. 

"How was today by the way with Mr. Radcliffe?" 

"Good. Things are going to work out." He says and that instantly brings me peace. 

Now all that's left is figuring out if I should tell him what happened and what was said to me earlier by Framez. Wish me luck.
