Chapter eleven Cole

As I drove over to Rhys’s and Addie’s I felt like I could take on the world, I was so hyped. I knew El agreeing to stay for the week was a long way from what I had really wanted, for her to move in permanently. This was a start though, a step in the right direction. How I played this week would make or break us. Starting tomorrow with the trip into town, I would have to curb myself, not go over the top and spoil Jake and Brandon like I really wanted to do. I needed El to see that I had control and that I would not let the boys walk all over me. I really had to stop and think, over the next week before I acted. One wrong move would send El running back to Fairview and with her would go my chance of us ever becoming a real family.

Pulling up in front of Addie’s and Rhys’s I was glad to see that the lounge room light was still on. They were both still up, no doubt waiting for El to come back.

“Sorry, Dad, change of plans. You have got your house back. El is staying with me.” I walked past him into the lounge, where Addie was curled up on the couch watching TV.

“Anyone would think he was the one that got up at the crack of dawn with our daughter and not me.” She stretched out and offered me a smile before sitting up.

“You could have called,” Rhys said walking in behind me.

“Sorry, I had to come anyway to get their things.”

“You could not have picked them up in the morning?”

“You are such a downer Rhys. I want them unpacked as soon as possible. It will give El less of a chance at changing her mind.” I sat down on the chair opposite Addie and from the scowl on her face I knew I had said something wrong.
