Chapter 18

Ricky

I had tried to protest about Bryan bringing me back to his house, but he insisted, even stopped at the hotel to collect my things and check me out. I had wanted to stay with my grandfather. I needed to make sure he was safe. Of course, Bob refused to drag me away from Bryan and insisted he could take care of himself. He was just so happy that Bryan and I are together again.

I don’t know if he and I are together, but I sure wish we were.

I don’t feel worthy of him, not after everything that’s happened. Bryan told me that he’d make damn sure I feel worthy soon enough. I hadn’t told him how I felt, but he just knew. It’s always been that way with us. We know what each other is feeling without us having to say anything at all. Nine years apart hasn’t changed that.

Bryan has been so good to me since bringing me here, he ran me a hot bubble bath, gave me some painkillers and then sent me off to relax. As I sink into the bubbles and let the warm water relax my aching body, I finally let myself believe that things could be okay.

He loves me, he told me so. I don’t know how he can forgive me so easily for what I’ve done, but I’m grateful for the fact that he has.

Bryan is a good man. They don’t make men like him anymore; I’m a fortunate girl.

“Hey, you,” I open my eyes and smile sleepily. Bryan is sitting on the edge of the bathtub looking down at me. “You’re falling asleep.”

“Sorry. I guess today took a lot out of me.”

“Let’s go to bed, Ricky. Let me hold you close to me.”

I still don’t understand how Bryan can be so forgiving. I’m not sure many men would be. However, he understands why I did what I did. He knows I had to protect him from Ray. I had to protect our son from him too. Yes, I stayed away for nine years, but we can put that behind us now. Right?

As I stand to change into clean pajamas, because I don’t intend to do anything but sleep, I notice Bryan’s eyes traveling over the bruises on my back and rib cage. Yeah, Ray really gave me a good kicking. I’m beyond lucky that he didn’t damage me more than he did.

“It looks worse than it is,” I say with a smile while tugging my pajama top-down and turning away from the mirror.

“Still doesn’t alter the fact I’m gonna kill him.”

“Don’t say things like that.” I chastise while climbing into Bryan’s bed and lying down next to him. “I don’t want you doing anything, Bryan. I love you for wanting to protect me, but leave it to the police.” He huffs while lying down beside me, turning on his right side to face me, as I lie on my left side. “Don’t be mad, Bry, I just don’t want you to do anything you’ll regret, you have a little girl to think about.
