A month later
My life is in fucking hell, five months since I last saw Melissa and Mikayla, five months since I last even talked to them, and it’s fucking killing me. Melissa has me blocked from being able to call, even has me blocked on Facebook, at least the Angels have the decency to forward any pictures that Melissa sends them of Mikayla to me. I had to get shit done before I could make the move to go for her, waiting for the court shit to get over with, finish up my current open cases, and finalizing that bullshit divorce. Thankfully, I’m done, and I can finally do what I need to do. Yesterday morning, I got word that I have the job in Saint John if I can get there in two weeks.
As I finish packing my suitcases my phone starts going off. Now that I think about it, it’s been going off constantly for hours, I’ve just been too busy trying to get on the road to even pay attention to it.
“Yeah?” I answer without looking at the caller ID.
“How could you do this, you bastard?” Shayla screeches.
“For fuck sake.” I sigh. “What do you want? Speak quick before I hang up.”
“You had me arrested, my kids taken away and given to Layla. You even sold the house?”
“Damn right I did, bitch. Have fun in prison, don’t contact me again.” I hang up and toss the phone on the bed. I made sure that the money from the sale of the house was all given to Layla to help her out. Not that she needed the money, she’s rich, but it’s for Laura and Luca. She told me she would put it into a college account for them, and with the amount of money I got from the house and everything in it, minus the kid’s stuff, they could both go onto be doctors or some other expensive career choice.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been in touch with the kids often. They still struggle with not calling me dad, and I get it, being called Uncle Dray feels wrong to me too. I promised them the minute I got back from getting my woman and kid, I will plan for them to come over for a weekend and spend it with us.
My phone goes off again as I zip my last suitcase, and I see it’s Cori calling me.Shit,probably wants to bitch me out again.
“Hey, Cori,” I answer politely.
She sniffs. “I’m sorry I didn’t let you talk the last time we spoke. I acted like a bitch.” The Angels must have told her my story.
“Nothing to apologize for, girl, you were right in your anger. I should have told Melissa about my ex.”
“This is true, but at the same time we shouldn’t have all jumped to conclusions.” This is a side of Cori I’ve never seen before, getting knocked up changed her completely. In a good way.
“I’m packing up now to go get your sister, any advice for me?”
Cori giggles. “Just be you, Dray, she’ll fight you. In case you haven’t noticed, she’s more stubborn than I am. But eventually, she’ll hear you out.”
“Thanks.” I smile into the phone.
“I’ll let you go, text me, keep me updated?”
“Promise. Tell Blake I said hi.”
“Just bring my sister and my niece home. I miss them.”
“Me too,” I tell her softly.
I’ve been without my should be wife and daughter for far too long.
We hang up and I lug my shit down to my truck. The drive should take me five days with stops, but I’m gonna try my hardest to only stop when I need to, so I can get there faster. I need her back. At the very least, I need my kid. I miss her.
Flashback Chapter
Dray
Enough is enough
Two fucking months since I fucked it all up with Melissa. I was drunk as hell the night I had her, knocked her up, and didn’t even know it. I can’t remember a damn thing about that night. We knew someone was slipping drugs at the Club, hence my post here, and I was the dumb fuck that had enough of watching Melissa fuck around with other guys and had a few drinks. Next thing I knew I was waking up in some chick’s apartment and couldn’t remember a fucking thing that happened. Only thing I recall is being livid about seeing Melissa.
It wasn’t until last month when Blake came pounding at my door calling me every name in the book saying I knocked Melissa up. I’m such an idiot. Every day since then, I’ve forced my way into Melissa’s life, and so far, she keeps pushing back against it. I’ve wanted her since I first saw her, and it was a kick to the fucking gut to find out she was underage.
She was right when she said Randy didn’t care she was in the club, but the second he told me she wasn’t legal, I had enough of watching her ass strut around me, so I kicked her out.
Cori and Blake keep telling me to keep trying, and they must think I’m fucking stupid if they think I’ll do otherwise. She’s carrying my kid. She’s mine. And if Melissa thinks she can keep trying to push me away she’s got another thing coming. Not gonna happen.
