Life After the Storm
chapter 27
As I approached his door I go to knock. I became nervous. I was never nervous before. It's different now. I'm not afraid of Landon, it's just I'm hesitant because of what he has done to me. I should have stopped him, but I allowed it. I'm not sure if I am going to be able to just forget about it. I want to pretend that it never happened.
As the door opens I see that it is Jayden, His eyes go bright once he realizes it's me. I will say I like the excitement that I see in him When I approach him. To see how my appearance just gives him such joy.
"Lilly, you're here I've been waiting for you all day it seemed like forever I was starting to worry that you might not come."
"Yes, it is really me it did seem like forever I missed you so much. I would never not show up for you."
As I scrunched down to his height I open my arms for a much-needed hug as he runs into my chest and my arms wrapped around him and I squeeze all I feel is comfort. Once our bodies connect, I feel more relaxed than I have in days. I have missed him so much, I'm grateful to finally see him.
I go to stand, and he grabs a hold of my hand, his little hand holds on to mine so tight like he is not allowing me to run away from him. Knowing I never would when I'm with him, it's also like I'm complete. As we run into the kitchen, I see Landon.
"Daddy she's here she finally got here."
"I see that buddy I told you that she would be here that you had nothing to worry about."
I try to stay calm, but his presence is making me feel uneasy. I'm not afraid of him, I think I'm more hurt. "So what are we having?"
Trying so hard to be pleasant, not wanting to spoil this time I have to spend with Jayden. Worried that if I angered him that he might not allow me to spend time with Jayden again.
Jayden looks at me with a big smile on his face "it's only going to be you and me Lilly daddy's actually going to serve us."
"What are we having?"
