Chapter 110
The night had gone quick with us all having a good time including Giovanni who did me a favor by coming with me to the facility. So, I could return the babies before my parents arrived back home in the morning or afternoon. “Thank you I just rather not have to explain these dolls to them and make things even worse for us” I whispered in a soft tone as we pulled in and up to the storage unit that was mine. Giovanni stayed in the car when I told him to and knew all about the facility and stayed knowing I would be safe. I put the dolls back where they had been and left quickly needing to get Giovanni back to his car at the gym. Along with Catherine and I back to my house. Catherine and I were laughing and singing along with the Pandora radio I had in the car all the way back to the house with Bruce and Sebastian following close behind. I was in and out of the shower in mins with Catherine wanting to do more than just kiss a little. I had been too distracted to do more than the kissing and light petting.
Catherine had finally stopped trying to get me to do more and looked up at me. “Hey.. you ok? I can go if you want, you seem really distracted and have been all night and I can see why. I promised your parents that I’d stay with you until they got back, but if you want, I can tell them I did and go now” she said as she got dressed and was about to head out and go home. I was not sure what I wanted but did not want her to be mad if I asked her to leave so I could be alone. “No, No please just stay I’m sorry just have a lot on my mind and still have to decide on a school before the deadline which is like 2 weeks away. Can we just lay and cuddle in the bed, watch a little TV and or do whatever you want…. Ha-ha besides that since my head is not in the right head space for that…” Catherine cut me off by opening my robe and wrapping her arms around my naked body. “ha that’s why sex works for most people. It gets you in the right head space, but relax I am not going to try again when the last few times didn’t work” she said pulling me closer and putting her head against my bare chest.
My parents arrived back home by noon the next day with my father only staying long enough to see me and check on my uncle. Then asking questions and my uncle promising to take care of it all. “See you girls in the morning at the airport, darling thanks for a great weekend and talk with you later before bed. Mia baby girl I look forward to hearing all about your ideas for the new space at the gym and your uncle says it’s pretty genius too” my father Ethan said before kissing me and then my mother before leaving us. I wanted to yell out and tell him not to go but knew that this was what my parents needed.To get them through whatever it was they were going through. I was in bed early that night with being so exhausted from the whole weekend and even before that. When I finally relaxed I was taken into a dream stream again and just like every night I was with Sharene.
This time it was way different as she lay in bed and talking out loud “I just don’t get it… I know I heard babies crying…” I went for it to see what I could do and thought as hard as possible. I slowly got onto the bed real close to Sharene’s ear. “Sharene… it’s a long story… I wish I could explain it all to you and for you to just understand…. I’m alone all alone and it’s been that way for so long I’ve shut the most important people out” I whispered and watched as Sharene sat up on her elbows and looked around the room as though she heard something. “No… NO you are just horny and thinking about her…” Sharene said as she laid back down. I wasn’t surprised when I stayed with her for the whole night and somehow calmed her down enough to finally sleep all by 2 am. I could not help but lay with her wanting to just be close to her. I tried so hard not to close my eyes knowing I would not be able to stay if I did and was right since I woke up and it was 5am. I packed my bags and had Sebastian load them in the SUV early not wanting to have to remember anything but myself as we left for the airport. I worked out in the home gym and by running the neighborhood before having to be back in time for a shower and ready to leave by noon. I did it just in time and was out the door by exactly noon.
The flight did not take long at all since it only took less than 2 hours to get to MA and a quick tour only lasted a couple of hours at Harvard. I sat in on a couple classes I thought I would be interested in and met a few of the club members who were nice but a little snobby. I was all but ready when we got back on the plane a few hours later and headed to CT. Where I would visit Yale before heading to New York and New Jersey. Yale was now on the possibility list for attending which I knew both my grandfather and father would be proud for me to go. Especially as they were alumni of the school. “Ok well that is closer than London, but hey sorry to say Oxford is pretty high on the list still and I still have 3 schools to look at” I said as we headed for dinner. My father had us eating dinner with a few of his friends who I knew all too well with one of the couples being Maxwell’s parents. Maxwell had been coming through the front door behind us as we sat. “I can’t believe the two of you…. what the hell did you do mother” I whispered even though the restaurant had been loud enough that even if I used my inside voice no one would hear me.
Maxwell shook my father’s hand and kissed my mother’s cheeks before coming to me and getting down close to my ear. “Hey beautiful, so good to see you again… I see our parents coned us both into this dinner. I had a couple hot babes waiting for me and now I’m stuck here” he said before taking his seat next to me and his parents. It all of a sudden struck me as I realized what we were all doing there and I eyed my parents as I stood “NOOOOO I’m not doing this and you can’t make me… so please I beg you don’t please” I begged and even started to cry a little. My father stood making a loud thud as his chair hit the floor “SIT DOWN! you don’t have to say anything but this is happening because they have every right to know…” “and every right to be part of the things that will be taking place when we get back home. I mean they are the grandparents and father of the girls” my mother said loud enough for the whole table to hear. I knew it did not matter if I stayed or not so chose to leave and told Max he could too, but he stayed wanting to hear what my parents had to say. “FINE…. But I’m out” I yelled and headed for the door and was happy to make it out without anyone following me.
The SUV pulled around and out of the front driver’s side was Sebastian who opened the back door and I climbed right in, in a hurry. My heart was racing along with my head as I stared in the window of the restaurant. I even asked Sebastian to wait a few mins as I saw Maxwell run from the table with his jacket. He searched the street up and down not realizing I was in the SUV right in front of him. His parents looked to be in shock as they both downed their drinks but stayed and after a few mins I realized that our parents would still be having dinner. My cell phone rang a thousand times with Maxwell’s number flashing across it and leaving messages that would soon fill up my whole phone. I had Sebastian take me back to the hotel and went to my room checking all the messages. Hating that Maxwell was being so mean on the phone and knew he would never change. I was crying/sobbing by the time I got to my room with Sebastian close behind me and for once glad he had been with us; I had actually been thankful. I checked the text messages finding them mostly from him except a couple that had been from Catherine and Sharene who were just checking in. Maxwell’s words were just as mean in text as they were in voice mail which scared me just like they always had, and I was tired of being scared of him. “How am I supposed to live a life and have a healthy relationship when I have an ex that is this fucking nuts” I muttered to myself as I used my key card to open the door.
Sebastian went inside first to check it all out with me behind him not really paying attention except to send Catherine a text to tell her I was in absolute hell at the moment. “I’ll call you later I just got a bomb dropped on me and Maxwell and his parents where at dinner” I typed quickly. I wasn’t sure what to say to Sharene since I had yet to talk to her in a few days. Just telling her I’d have to see how our tours went and tell her a for sure answer when we made it to New York. Catherine called the room phone 5 mins later when I had not answered my cell or a text message “WHAT? ANSWER YOUR PHONE!” Sebastian had done the answering of the room phone and groaned when he heard Catherine’s loud voice that could probably be heard out in the hall. “Ha I got it…. umm if you could just text my parents an…” “already taken care of…. Let me see your cell phone please” Sebastian said and held out his hand. I gave him a look of “What, why…wtf” but he still held his hand out waiting. He was only getting more pissed when I did not give it to him. “FINE!” I said handing it to him and taking the room phone and calming Catherine down the best I could or if I even could.
