The girls are with their nana, Jason is taking me out today, I’ve put on a simple short white summer dress, as I put my hair up Jason walks into the bedroom and stops, I twirl and smile to him.
“Do you like it?” I softly chuckle.
A small smile comes to his lips, he slowly walks to me and puts his hands on my arms chuckling.
“Baby you are beautiful” He gently pecks my lips. “But get that dress off” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNOCrSlYp
“What’s wrong with it?” I say quietly.
He steps back. “Sophie, come on, mean you’re not exactly young anymore, showing skin like you’re some...Cheap slapper. Baby, you’re more than that” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ezPTJwyCA
“Oh,” I say quietly and lower my head.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v3vx8nfRM
“Here, I know, I’ll pick something for you to wear okay?” He chuckles.
I nod. “Okay” I walk to the bed and sit down pulling my knees up watching him rummage through the clothes.
I wrap my arms around my legs resting my chin on my knee, he nods and chucks me my skinny jeans with a long sleeved top of mine and a hoodie.
“There” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPOmkwKRVq
“Baby it’s so hot out there today-”
He stares and I cough. “Thank you baby”
He smiles at me and I change my clothes. I look up to him and he chuckles. “Beautiful” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93HpqIbKQV
“It’s really hot” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhTVFNZwif
“You’ll be fine, look stunning” He swoops me up.
I squeal and cling to him, he chuckles and we peck lips. He carries me down the stairs and puts my shoes on me as time passes we arrive at this nature trail, I look to him, he chuckles. “Thought a walk would be nice no?”
I smile at him and step out, I look to the beautiful forest, I walk to him and he takes my hand, he locks the car and we start to walk. Silence falls between us apart from the rustling with the leaves blowing in the wind and the odd bird calling out.
“Peaceful here” I lean my head on his arm. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZXRlZqzFp
“Isn’t this what you wanted?” He cracks a smile to me.
I look up.
“Feel the wind through your hair?”
A small smile comes to my lips and I nod.
“See don’t say I don’t treat you well Sophie, I give you what you want..” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l8oEYD1jX
“I never say you don’t” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0DI6kvKmO
“Funny way of showing it”
I look up to him.
“It’s fine baby, I love you for all of your faults” He kisses my forehead.
I look away and start thinking. ‘My faults?’
“Baby” He chuckles. “I love you okay just need...To you know, pull your weight around a bit more like I do, I work, I look after the girls and you, you complain a lot, you’re clumsy but I still love you”
I hold his hand tighter. “I’ll try harder” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNQxZAnDE4
“I know you will, you try” He kisses the back of my hand.
We go back to being silent when his phone rings, I look up to him, he answers it. “Mom” He chuckles.
We stop walking and he nods. “Alright, we’re on our way”
He ends the call. “Ellie been crying out for me...Let's go”
I nod without a word being said...We’re all soon home and Jason hasn’t spoken to me and I feel like I’ve done something wrong, I run down the stairs, they’re both eating dinner.
“Jason baby,” I say quietly.
Nothing. I back away and tears come to my eyes, I wait in the kitchen for him to come in, while I do, I start to do myself some food. Jason then walks in and I run in front of him.
“Baby, have I done something?”
He pushes past me, I poke him. “Baby”
He looks to me. I put a smile on my face.
“All about you isn’t it” He does a face to me.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QCzTuRtt7
“Huh..” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4vyfLnc4H
“Oh please, you stupid as well? Ellie has been crying and where were you, in the bedroom? It’s late she wanted dinner, why is it you can never do anything right baby?”
Tears spring to my eyes, I bite my lip with not being sure what to say, he shakes his head. “All about you” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIXqziRZOa
“No..No it’s not, I was going to do food, I was-”370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbvzkkx9X3
“But? But what?” He scoffs and walks off.
I sniffle. “Sorry”
But he doesn’t speak and walks out. I drop my head and my phone vibrates, I sit down on a stool and pull it out of my bra. I wipe my tears, I answer the call.
“Hi” I smile. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82g9GZEehJ
‘We got your application for the part-time job, this is Sophie Rivers correct?’
I sit up. “This is she” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexB9HiUbIO
“We would love for you to come down to the interview Miss Rivers, say Monday?”
I smile. “Thank you so much”
Jason walks in doing a face crossing his arms. I end the call and smile, I look up to Jason, I do a little run to him.
“I applied for this job” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36hWrVBDf4
“What?” He raises his brow.
I nod. “Jason I need to do something, only part-time, three days a week, few hours a day, I want to help bring money in, I’d like some money as well instead of asking you all the time, makes me feel bad when I do”
I get no reply, he then walks off.
“Jason-”370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcCkfP1fro
“Do what you want” He scoffs and walks into the living room.
I lean my head back closing my eyes tight, I lift my head and walk into the living room, Jason sends Ellie up into her room. Jason looks to me, I sit down next to him, he takes my phone putting it in his pocket, he pulls me onto his lap facing him.
“Baby I don’t want you working” he speaks softly brushing his nose against mine. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKvn72MOJ7
“But why” I whisper and take his hand.
He holds my hand with his eyes gazing up to mine.
“Because it’s a dangerous world out there Sophie, people are scary, they’re nasty, behind these four walls, you’re safe, with our girls and me” He lets my hand go and cups my cheeks.
He pouts. “I like knowing you’re here safe while I’m at work”
A smile comes to my lips. “Jason”
He chuckles. “I just love you so much and if anything ever happened to you, if I ever lost you, I don’t think I could live, I wouldn’t live, I’d kill for you Sophie”
I stare, he brushes his lips past mine.
“But you’d have the girls” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRgDpQq4m7
“But I wouldn’t have you, you’re my world, my angel, my everything, a world without you wouldn’t be one I want to live in, you’re the air to my balloon” He cracks a smile.
I snort dropping my head. “You didn’t just say that”
He chuckles. “Baby it’s true”
I look up and he smiles. “I can’t ever lose you” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcC6l0B1LE
“You won’t” 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4TEzykMqs
“Promise?”
I nod. “Of course” I whisper.
He closes the gap between us pressing his lips against mine, he holds me tighter and we move our lips together. I wrap my arms around the back of his neck. My heart flutters and my mind goes quiet, he licks my bottom lip, I slowly open my mouth letting him deepen the kiss, he gently rolls me to the side so we’re laying on the sofa, his hands tangled up in my hair. He softly moans making my heart race, he pulls back and I go red, he leaves little butterfly kisses over my face, he takes my hands interlocking them above my head and our eyes lock with no words being said.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz9gB6xejU
