She blows me away with just a few sentences. This woman amazes me every single day. Yes, she is struggling right now with her grief but she is dealing with it in a way that works for her. Each day I notice she’s getting a little better and spending time with Logan has clearly helped her massively.
“Anything you want or need Sweetpea, I will gladly give you.”
She gives me her blinding smile which has been missing recently.
“I’m hungry. Have the boys eaten yet?” she asks as she starts getting out of the bed and heading for the bathroom.
“No Liv, they haven’t. Missed your cooking.”
She smiles at me over her shoulder as she makes it to the bathroom door.
“I’ve missed cooking for them. Let me freshen up and I’ll be down to whip something up for them.”
With that, she heads into the bathroom and closes the door.
Yes, my girl is coming back!
Sixteen
Olivia
I’mstarting to feel a little more like myself. I still miss Dad but I know he wouldn’t want me to wallow in self-pity and depression.
Getting a quick shower and washing my hair, I feel more human. Eager to get back in the kitchen and out this bedroom, I dry and hurry to get dressed. I’m still trying to sort my shoe out as I hop out the room into the hallway, and run straight into what feels like a brick wall, bouncing off into the actual wall, then onto floor.
Really lady like and graceful Liv, for fuck sake.
Flicking my hair out of my face I look up at the giant brick wall that is Riot, who is currently leaning on the wall, clutching his stomach, while laughing his arse off.
Gentleman he is not.
“Erm, yeah no worries, Riot, I’m fine. Perfectly okay. Jackarse,” I mumble, attempting to get off the floor again, not so gracefully.
“I’m soo.... sorry Liv baby but that was funny as shit. You looked like a human pinball.”
He continues to laugh until Psycho appears from nowhere and smacks him across the back of the head.
“Fucker,” he grunts and then helps me off the floor.
“Okay?” he checks while running his eyes over me to check that I am.
“Yeah, no thanks to that giant walking brick wall.”
“Dumb as a brick wall,” Psycho replies with a grin on his face.
We head down the hall with Riot behind us, still laughing. Getting into the main room, Chaos is sitting at the bar with Mayhem.
“What’s funny?” Mayhem asks.
“Oh, you missed it. Liv came hopping out your room like an annoyed little bunny, bounced right into me and off again into the wall. So funny, she looked like a pinball,” Riot states as he’s still laughing.
Chaos does not look like he finds this funny.
“Fuck Sweetpea, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?”
He’s by my side in seconds, his hands running all over me, checking for himself that I am in face okay and not hurt. Mayhem is also now next to me, with his arm around my shoulders.
“Okay Liv?”
