Under The Sea

Chapter 17

The next morning when I woke up I heard rain pinking against the bedroom window I felt Ricky pull me against him. 

"Morning beautiful." 

"Morning good looking."

Ricky lightly kissed the center of my back I felt my cheeks grow warm. 

"Is it raining?" Ricky asked. 

"Yeah," I said. 

My cellphone was ringing I reached over and grabbed my phone off the bedside table. 

"Hello?"

"Maddie, where the hell are you and Ricky?" 

"We are now living at our grandparent's estate and before you show up at the castle to raise hell don't upset mom to much because she's really upset." I stated sternly. 

"What's wrong with mom?" Jamie asked. 

"Mom lost the baby and she's heartbroken."

"I blame dad for this because he put mom under a lot of stress and she lost the baby." 

After I ended the call, I laid the phone back down on the bedside table I rolled over facing Ricky he fell back to sleep I drifted back off to sleep. When I woke back up Ricky was awake, he leaned in and kissed me I gazed at him and smiled. 

"What would you like to do on this rainy Monday morning?" Ricky asked, brushing my cheek with the back of his finger. 

"I want to spend the day with you." I blushed. 

I climbed out of bed and got dressed I entered the bathroom when I came out of the bathroom Ricky was sitting up in bed. 

"Come back to bed with me." 

"I'm going downstairs and have breakfast."

I left the bedroom and walked downstairs I entered the kitchen I made myself a bowl of cereal and sat down at the table I was eating breakfast when Ricky came into the kitchen, he made himself a bowl of cereal and joined me at the table. 

"What did Jamie call for?" He asked, taking a bite of his Lucky Charms. 

"He wanted to know where we were and I told him I also told Jamie about mom he blames dad for mom losing the baby because he put her under a lot of stress." I said. 

When I was finished eating breakfast, I took my bowl to the sink I washed up my bowl and spoon and placed them on the drainboard. 

"Do you think Jamie would show up at the castle and confront your father?" 

"Yes, I do because for some reason my father and Jamie don't get along."

I left the kitchen and entered the living room I sat down on the couch I grabbed the remote off the coffee table and turned on the TV. Ricky came into the living room and joined me on the couch I curled into his side Ricky wrapped his arm around me. 

"Did your dad and brother ever get along?" Ricky asked. 

"They used to get along but then they stopped doing father and son activities." I said. 

I laid my head on his chest and draped my arm across him, Ricky kissed my forehead. 

"What was your favorite subject in school?" 

"My favorite subject was English. What about you?" 

"My favorite subject was English as well." He smiled. 

Ricky and I snuggled on the couch watching cartoons later on that morning someone was knocking at the door I rose from the couch and left the living room I entered the foyer and answered the door. Jamie was standing on the doorstep I stepped to the side and let my brother inside the estate I closed the door behind him and locked it.
