Guarded Heart (The GH Series)

Chapter Forty-Seven

Drama, apparently, I am the one that attracts it. We were all quite happy watching the television when there was a knock on the door around mid-afternoon. I got up to answer the door as the others were lying sprawled out and looked comfortable.

When I opened the door, I didn't expect a hand to come in and slap me hard across my face. I raised my hand up to my cheek and blinked a few times to see who had slapped me before I knock the fucker out. "You..."

"You ruined my wedding night."

Emilia. I should have known, but I was expecting my birthing duo to show up at some point. "Aye, so what?"

"Alistair, he left. Your dad dragged him off and I never seen him again."

"I am responsible for my own actions but not for that man who pretends to be my Dad. Plus, you are lucky I am in a good mood, or I would have bitch slapped you from here to the ends of the earth for belting me one."

I heard footsteps and I knew instantly it was Ashley. "Do yourself a favour and remove yourself from Sarah's doorstep."

"Who the hell are you?" Oh, she just didn't square her shoulders up at my woman, did she?

"I can be your worst enemy if you upset my girl anymore. How dare you lay a hand on her."

"Ah, the girlfriend." Emilia said almost mockingly.

"Do yourself a favour Em? Fuck off already."

"I want to know why you done it Callie." Her eyes searching mine.

"Alcohol, gumption, freedom. Not that you care in the slightest." I know those other footsteps approaching.

"Just go Em. You are not welcome here." Sarah was gearing up to go for her, I could tell.

"Do you know what was priceless about last night?" Everyone looked at me. "The fact that no one batted an eyelid about what I said about you Em. They were more wondering what I was going to do to your beloved, disgusting pig of a man...husband, whatever you call him."

"If anything happens to him..."

"You will do what? Come on threaten me, I fucking dare you." I'm gonna go psycho at this lassie in a minute.

"Cal, go and sit with Ash and Fi. I won't be long." Sarah urged me away and she managed to get Em out of the doorway and closed the door behind her.

"I hope she slaps her." Fiona looked mighty pissed off right now.

"Knowing Sarah, she won't. Sarah has more venom in her words, not her actions."

Thankfully, only a few moments later, Sarah returned, and we all looked at her, concerned. "Don't look so worried. After a few choice words, she is on her merry way."

I sighed and flopped back down on to the sofa. "I so cannot wait to move. This place is doing my head in."

"Not long babe. It's nearly the thirteenth." Ashley gave me a small smile.

The mood had shifted considerably and then Sarah pipes up. "I feel a packing party coming on."

"Do you have any boxes?" Sarah nodded. "Then go and get them, might as well get started."

"We can take some stuff back down to Glasgow tomorrow, if you would like?" Chipped in Fiona, looking a little more relaxed now.

"That would be great. Cal....?"

"Yes bud?"

"Get the music pumping and please... do not let your woman pick the music." I grinned, knowing that it could only mean one thing... "It's rock and roll time!!"
