Ten minutes later as Jasper said, he walks in through the front door, my dad looking up at him. I watch as he sits at the bar with a woman, she smiles stroking along his arm and jealousy swarms me. He’s flirting with her, even I can see he is. Yet, I can’t complain.
He’s doing what he always had. He’s ensuring my dad doesn’t suspect anything. I see the door open and freeze, my eyes widening. What the fuck? My dad follows my gaze and looks sickened.
I stare at Ivy if you can even call her it. Her hair is black, she has on thick black make–up and is wearing my fucking clothes? Really? I watch my dad move quickly, dragging her over.
“What the hell are you doing kiddo?” My dad looks at her shocked. “This isn’t you, get your fucking ass home and wash the shit off and take off the clothes.” She looks at him shocked, her eyes going to me.
“He’s right Ivy, whatever your reason is for this, it won’t work.” She screams throwing a drink over me, and I watch my dad drag her towards the door. He stops and speaks to Jasper before dragging her out. I watch Jasper walk toward me, as I sit shocked.
“Baby girl.” He looks at me and I stare at the door. “Look, Ivy is feeling jealous of you. Now you’re back you’re spending all this time with your dad. Your mum told him last night she felt like she was being left out. I guess this was her way to get the attention from you to her. ”
“It’s fine Daddy.” It is, I just never expected her to do that. Hell, she threw a drink at me.
“She’s also worried about Joel being here when you are.”
I laugh and look at him. “She has nothing to worry about there because he isn’t coming near me.” I plan to avoid him as much as I can.
“Get to my place baby girl. I will call into your dads. Spend a few hours with him so he doesn’t suspect anything. Take your bike, park it in my garage and cover it.” He smiles and I nod.
“See you soon Daddy.” I walk out and feel my body thrown against the wall. I freeze seeing Joel against me.
“You’re avoiding me sugar. You know how angry I get when you avoid me.” His hand strokes along my body and I fight to break free.
“Leave me alone.” Moving I knee him between the legs and he stumbles back. “Stay the fuck away from me.”
“Or what, will you tell your daddy? Please do, I will welcome death and laugh every day in hell knowing you’re hurt because he is locked up.” I stare at him shocked. “Come on Sugar, you know how it works. You tell me what to do, I tell you to tell Daddy, and you don’t. Where are you staying?” He looks at me waiting and I shake my head.
“I’m sure Daddy will tell me.”
“He won’t!” There is no way my dad will tell him.
“Maybe not, but he will tell Ivy, and she will tell me. We need to talk about things Sugar, you left when you know full well you’re mine.” I stare shocked and hear the door open, Jasper steps out and looks. between us confused.
“I will let Ivy know Harley, she has nothing to worry about when it comes to you and me.” He turns and walks off, my eyes fixed forward.
“Baby girl?” I turn and smile at Jasper.
“I’m leaving, he was just asking why Ivy showed up like she had.” I shrug and walk to my bike not wanting to get into it. He lets me go, which I’m grateful for. Getting on the bike I go to his, going into the garage, I cover the bike before walking into the house.
It feels weird being here without him, I sit, waiting, wondering how long he will be. He keeps messaging me, which has me smiling, and anxious for when he finally comes home. I feel like I need his arms. around me just so I can feel safe from Joel.
I need to avoid Joel, and anywhere he is, I don’t want to leave yet, but I will if I can’t avoid him. Somehow I fall asleep on the sofa, unable to stay awake any longer, I know he is with my dad trying to make it less weird, but his disappearing makes it weird, so I can’t blame him for taking hours.
