Fractured Lies (MAC Security 1) - Page 79

“You ready bud?”

“Yeah.” Eli stood and tried to put his coat on.

I went to move to help him but Ty was faster. Then I noticed he was ready for work, belt clipped round his waste with a radio attached.

“Ty?”

“Hmm?”

“What are you doing?”

“Putting Eli’s coat on,” his face was as innocent as Eli’s when he swore that he didn’t have any chocolate.

Only I knew what that face meant, he was up to something.

“No.” I shook my head wincing as I pushed up off the couch. Ty offered me his hand but I ignored it. I had to do this on my own.

“What?” he raised a brow at me, the side of his mouth lifting in a knowing smile. He knew exactly what he was doing and I wasn’t in the mood to play games.

“What are you doing?”

He shrugged and pulled his beanie hat on his head “Taking Eli to preschool.”

“I’m taking him.” I pointed at my chest.

“No,” he said in a firm voice as he pushed his ear piece in.

The door opened just as I was about to answer him back.

“Mornin’!”

“Luke!” Eli ran at him with so much force that Luke actually stumbled, but the smile that spread across his face said that he didn’t mind.

“Could you take Eli to the car?” I said to Luke keeping my eyes on Ty, the sound of my blood pumping in my ears.

“Err…Sure.”

They shuffled out of the house, I didn’t move until the door had shut and I heard them go down the steps.

“You can’t tell me what to do,” I seethed as I shuffled closer.

“Kay-”

“No,” I choked out “I can’t do this again.”

“Sweetheart” he took two giant steps and was in my space. “Do what again?”

I shook my head and looked down, I’d said too much already.

“You need to rest, you’re not going to heal properly if you don’t” he said softly.

There was no way that I was going to let someone else take Eli, that was my job.

“Ty-”

“No, you listen now,” he placed his finger and thumb on my chin and tilted my face back “I’m only looking out for you. I’ll take Eli today and then we can see how you are on Monday.”

“But-”
