manage
to get him to eat and take some headache medicine.
Finally they call us to say that she’ll be fine, she has some broken and fractured
bones. She was taken by an asshole that was friends with her ex. It was really a
crazy story. If the cops don’t take care of that guy, I’d hate to see him when Cade
and Gable get ahold of him. From the sounds of things, Ryder did a pretty damn good
job on him.
I think they’ve finally convinced Gable to stay put for a week until we go home for
Christmas. I sent Keeg and Stoney back to their room. Gable talked to Scarlet on
the phone, so he feels a little better now.
He moves toward the bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower, this has been a shit day.”
I nod. After I hear the shower going, I slip out of my clothes and quietly go into
the bathroom.
I open the shower door. He looks up and I smile. “I figured you could use some help
washing your back. I know I’ve got some areas that I could use some help with.”
“Oh, really. How nice of you.”
I wrap my arms around him, putting my head on his chest. “You’ve had the day from
hell babe, I figured you could use a little extra TLC.”
“How did I end up so lucky? You held me together today. When I first got that call
this morning and I couldn’t get out of here, I thought was seriously going to lose
my mind.”
“Holding each other together is what we are supposed to do. Do you know how many
times you guys have held me together? More times than I care to admit. It was my
turn to be the strong one, and as long as I have you, I know I can do that.”
He leans down take my mouth with his. “Babe, you have me as long as you want me.
I told you before, it’s you, it’s always been you.”
Going home for a week or so is definitely what I need. I’ve talked to Scarlet several
times since she was hurt a little over a week ago. She’s getting better, still nursing
some bones, but I need to see my little sister in the flesh.
As we walk out of the security area, I see an older man holding a sign with my name
on it. I’d arranged with Ryder for someone to come get all of us. I knew he was sending
a guy named Nelson that works for them. I know Scarlet likes Nelson, she always talks
about how sweet he is. I guess Ryder thinks of him like a second father. We all
wanted to surprise our families by just showing up. Ryder had called me to tell me
about his gift for Scarlet. He’d gotten her a promise ring and he wanted my whole
family there for dinner at his house, so we were telling Scarlet that I’d been delayed
and wouldn’t get in until late Christmas Eve. She was not happy, so I can only imagine
when she sees my face tomorrow.
I approach the man and he juts a hand out. “Hey, you must be Gable, I’m Nelson.
How was the trip?” He asks as he’s shaking my hand.
“It was good, not too many delays.”
“Okay, well I drove the suburban from the farm so we should have plenty of room for
everyone and their stuff.”
We follow him out the door. I see a large white suburban with the Abbott Farms logo
on the door. I stow mine and Ivie’s bags in the rear.
I worry about her. This is the first time we’ve been home since that fucker beat
her up so bad and since her attack while we were on the road. I’ve already told her
she’s staying with me at my house. Not only do I want her there, but I need her there.
I need to know that she’s safe, I need to feel her body against mine while I sleep.
I had Nelson drop Ivie and me off at Stoney’s so we could grab her car.
Once we are in her car, she looks around at the mess she’d
to get him to eat and take some headache medicine.
