Rebound (Passion 2) - Page 76

“Babe I don’t get my way now, you’ve become a royal pain in the ass in case you haven’t noticed, ever since you started hanging with the girls.”

“I have not.” She smacked me one in the chest and next thing I know we were kissing. “Wait a minute baby.”

I reached into my pocket for the forgotten ring and opened the box. “I was going to give you this this weekend but I don’t want to wait any longer.” Her eyes widened and she looked at me before reaching out her finger to touch the stone.

“Matt.” Her voice was a soft whisper as her eyes filled with tears.

“Give me your hand baby.” She was shaking like a leaf as she lifted her hand for me to place my ring on her finger.

“I take you Kadyn Daniels to be mine now and forever.” I slid the ring onto her finger; it was a perfect fit. I wonder if she noticed that it wasn’t so much a proposal as it was a claiming.

I didn’t make love to her then even though I wanted to, I had too much on my mind. So after a heavy make out session we headed downstairs so she could show off her ring. I had the fleeting thought that I should’ve kept a journal of my life in the last few months because this shit was stranger than fiction. Most days I didn’t even remember Patricia or the time we had together. It was as if my heart was too full of us, Kadyn and I, and there was no room for anything else. Now with my ring on her finger I was hoping for only the best for the future. “I promise to never let you down Kitten.” I hope like fuck I can keep that promise.

Chapter 27

Things got hectic after that; after the family had given us their blessings and the women went off with their wedding planning it was time to get back to the other matter. By now it was evening and Bruno should be home if he hadn’t already been taken into custody. I called James after all to send him there on a separate matter, sort of killing two birds with one stone. I decided to wait and see how things unfolded before giving her the new phone to call her mom. I know she was a little sad that she couldn’t share the news of our engagement with her as we had with her dad but I wanted everything to be perfect for her.

She kept saying she couldn’t wait for her mom to meet me; I had a few reservations. I’m sure any woman who’d been through what she had with her daughter wouldn’t be too trusting of any man that came into her life, but I was hoping to win her over with my charm. I’d have to keep her away from Josh and dad though until after the wedding at least. One look at those two Neanderthals and the jig was up.

While she was occupied Josh and I locked ourselves away in one of the rooms on the top floor and set up shop so to speak. We had the monitor up and running and I‘d decided to tape it just in case I wanted to show her at some point. I still wasn’t sure how much I wanted her to know but I do know it would be good for her to see his demise; it may bring her some sort of peace.

“Sit down bro you’re making me nervous.” I paced back and forth as I waited for something, anything to happen on the screen. Now that things were moving I wanted it all over and done with so we could get on with our lives. It was very important to me to give her a fresh start free of all this and I wanted it to begin this weekend. Starting college was a new phase in our lives, one that I wanted to mark a new beginning in more ways than one; the dream without the taint of the nightmare.

“I hate this waiting bullshit, how long does it take them to get their shit together anyway? Those kids could be in danger right now and they haven’t made a move yet.”

“That’s the way it works bro, I guess they have to verify shit first before they do anything, I don’t know. I think they have to process everything from beginning to end, they have to think about the court case and shit like that if it comes to that so they have to gather evidence the right way so it doesn’t come back to bite them in the ass later. From the looks of him he doesn’t suspect anything, which is good just chill.”

“That’s bullshit, they should’ve been at his house in ten fucking minutes flat. Who’s to say those kids aren’t in danger at this very minute? What the fuck kinda system we have here anyway? Those are babies for crying out loud. Maybe I should just let James off the fuck while he’s there.”
