with them the way he was right now. Can I trust him with them? Just as soon as the thought came to her mind she froze. Shit! Damien slowly raised his head and looked over at Liz.
Coldly he stared at her. This Damien frightened her. “Brush your teeth Taylor. You don’t mean that thought.” And he turned his attention back to the twins.
Your right I didn’t. I am so sorry. She stood there for a moment watching as his face softened. She knew that she had just hurt him.
Taylor couldn’t control her brain. After all, she was leaving her kids in the hands of a vampire while she left the room. A vampire that she had only just met. Were they safe? She thought it was a reasonable question.
She finished brushing, slipped off her boots, threw on her nikes and returned. She didn’t see them. She walked to the bedrooms looking, thinking maybe they had taken Damien to one of the rooms to show him. They weren’t there either.
“Ash, Zach!!!” She called out. She didn’t hear anything. She ran for the door jerking it open only to hit a wall of flesh.
“You don’t trust me do you?” His question was blunt. Straight to the point.
She looked around him noting they were riding their bikes. She took a breath of air before turning her eyes back to meet his glare. Black as night eyes burned her. They made a greater level of fear in her raise quickly. She could see he was pissed off and apparently had reason to be.
“I’m sorry. I really am. Just put yourself in my shoes for a minute. I have never left them with anyone, other than my neighbor, just one time and then of course Liz. I don’t have a lot of people to trust with them. I’m sorry.” Please God let that piss poor explanation work.
His eyes softened, allowing his lips to curve slightly. “That piss poor explanation didn’t work, but the prayer to God saying you really meant it did. Come.”
“It’s only 3. What are we going to do?” She asked as the kids parked their bikes and she realized his car was there. How did he drive over so quickly?
“I told you there are many things that I can do and no, I was not sitting there waiting on you to need me either.” He grinned wide before taking her hand in his as he led her to the car.
“I just have to get their booster seats out of my car first.” She loosened her grip in his hand before attempting to walk towards her car.
“Already taken care of. Zach informed me that they have to have them to go anywhere and everyone must wear their seatbelts at all times while the car is started.”
“That’s my Zach. Mr. Protective. You guys ready to have some fun?” She watched as the kids raced to the car getting in and fastened their belts. That was the easiest getting them two ready had been in a long time.
Damien opened the door for her then quickly he was at his side getting in. “So what are we doing today while we wait for the movies?”
Ashley was quick to squeal. “We have to go get something to eat first cuz Damey says you haven’t ate yet.” Taylor raised a brow at him. Damey. He shrugged his shoulders at her, smiling as he backed out of the drive.
Chapter Seven
She listened to the kids and Damien, carry on different conversations. She felt relieved that they seemed to be clicking well. Damien moved his hand over to her leg and squeezed it gently as if saying just relax.
It’s hard for me to relax when I haven’t done this in a long time. I need to know they are ok with you as well.
