I wanted to feel free. I wanted to be unbroken and happy. Kevin had become such a big part of my life. A monumental structure in such a short time.
Climbing behind the wheel I start my journey south. It was time to move on. Time to see the world that I knew was out there. Kevin had new responsibility’s and he didn’t need me there.
Rolling down the window, I let the cool mountain air drift in and wash away the stench of loneliness that now clung to be like a perfume.
For the first time in my life, I was okay with the path I was taking. I wish it was the same path I had envisioned only this morning, but it wasn’t, and I needed to come to terms with that.
The miles between us felt like the spans of an ocean I made my way south the sign leaving Maine was up ahead I cast my eyes away.
It was time to fix the broken and repair the damage of the last few months. It was time to let go of the one man I love.
Chapter 28
Kevin
For the first time in my life, I tasted true fear. She was out there alone and probably afraid. My past mistakes ran her off.
Tom walked into the club house looking around like he didn’t help her get away; the fucking bastard. Slamming him into the nearest wall, I smile when the air left his lungs in a rush.
“Where the fuck is she?” I shout at him.
He shrugs like I was asking what’s for dinner.
“Motherfucker! You better fucking tell me before I rip your balls off and feed them to you,” my voice turned deadly at the end.
“I don’t know,” Tom replies.
“Where the fuck did you leave her?” I demand.
“Car dealership. What the fuck do you care?” he snaps back.
“She’s mine,” I growl.
“Funny thing about women is they don’t like other pregnant women telling them they are pregnant by their man,” he tells me coldly.
“Not my fucking kid,” I tell him through my teeth. My white-knuckle grip on his leather cut doesn’t seem to faze him.
“Look, I gave her some cash, a cell phone, and a car. I fucking asked her if she really wanted to do this and she said yes. She’s fucking gone man,” he tells me quietly.
I felt like someone had punched a hole through my chest right where my heart was. I couldn’t fuck I wouldn’t let her go.
“Cell phone?” I ask him. It was like a life line I latched onto it and didn’t let go.
“Yes,” To, replied I could see the wheels turning he knew where this was going.
“Fucking track it,” I tell him, as I let him go. But not without another slam against the wall.
Walking away without beating the fucker down was hard. I needed to collect some shit a few guns a few knives and a real good apology.
Chapter 29
Maya
The drive was beautiful. I’ve been on the road for two days taking my time getting to my destination. The temperature already rose a few degrees and the sun was beating down hard.
I could see the beauty before me and for the first time in my life I was at a place I always wanted to be. The first thing I did was put my car in park and run across the expanse of sand to the warm water of the ocean. My jean shorts getting soaked the further out I went. I had never seen the ocean in person and this was the first of many dreams I would get to experience.
“Beautiful isn’t it?” a male voice asked, a few feet away.
I knew that voice. It belonged to the man I was running from, the very person who sent me running and broke my heart. Everything in me froze.
“What are you doing here?” the words slipped out.
“Looking for you,” Kevin replies.
“How did you find me?” I ask him, shocked that he had located me so quickly or for that matter at all.
“I followed you,” he tells me, smugly.
“For how long?” I ask him in frustration. How did I not hear his bike?
“Since the hotel in Virginia,” he tells me quietly.
He sounded closer and I had yet to turn around. I wanted to more than anything. I wanted to turn to him and jump into his arms and latch on and not let go.
“How did you find me there?” I ask him.
“Cell phone tracking baby,” he says sweetly.
“You shouldn’t be here Kevin, you need to let me go,” I tell him tiredly.
I was exhausted emotionally, and I was a wreck. I finally made it to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Kevin found me just moments after I reach one of the places I wanted to go as a kid.
Bending down I pick up a sea shell and slip it into my wet pocket.
Listen to me Maya, I spent three days with you and two without and I don’t want to spend another day or hour without you by my side,” his voice had gone low.
His fingers wrapped around my arm and he tugged turning me to face him. I couldn’t bring myself to look into his eyes, so I kept them cast down at me feet.
“What about her?” I ask him.
I needed to know how this would even work. She was pregnant were did I fit into this? And why was I even thinking about fitting in the first place, there was no room for me back there.
“Maya, there is no baby,” he tells me gently.
Looking up at him I cock my eyebrow. I’m not blind even I had seen the slightly rounded tummy she was sporting.
“Yeah, I mean there is a baby, but it’s not my baby,” he confesses.
Happiness tried to take over it started to bubble up, but I popped the hope before it took control. Remember the std committee.
His fingers move from my arm to my chin gripping it gently yet firmly he forced my eyes to meet his.
“I can’t say I was a saint baby, I’ve been with others, but I want you. Just you,” he tells me in a quiet, steady voice.
I could only stare at him. it hurt thinking of him with others and when he grew tired of me there would be another woman waiting to take my place better to cut the ties now.
“I’m sorry,” I start only to stop as he pulled a little box from his pocket.
“I know we just met, but I fucking love you,” he starts ,only to pause and take a deep breath, “Marry me Maya?”
My eyes filled with tears as he asked the question I never thought would leave his mouth. turning from him I look at the water.
Was this a good idea? Look at all the naked woman walking around the club house. What if I wanted kids?
“I don’t know,” I tell him honestly.
“Do you love me?” he asks.
Turning back to him I nod my head.
“Say the words Maya,” he demands.
“I love you,” I tell him truthfully.
Taking a deep breath, I continue, “But that doesn’t make this okay, its not a magic fix it button,” I finish.
“Maya, I want to be with you and only you. Truthfully, I was struck fucking stupid when Lark dropped you off. It was like I was struck by lightning I now understand what the others go on about,” his voice lowered as he spoke.
“Kevin,” I whisper.
“Please Maya, I can’t picture a day without you, marry me,” he demands instead of asks.
Biting my lip, I nod my head. I just promised myself to live life to the fullest, didn’t I? I know there was a good chance we wouldn’t last with all the woman trying to get where I was but that wasn’t stopping me.
“Let’s get the fuck out of here,” he tells me.
“What about my car?” I ask him.
“Fuck the car get on my bike I don’t want you where I can’t feel you,” he tells me.
My heart swelled but something was bothering me what about my dreams.
“I have things I want to do places I want to see,” I tell him.
He stopped walking and pulled me in close to him.
“Baby I’ll make your dreams come true,” he says in a cheesy voice.
“I love you,” I tell him, as I look down at the ring he’d slipped onto my finger.
“I love you too, baby,” he te
lls me, as his lips close the space between mine.
Maybe dreams were supposed to change because all I can think about is having this man all to myself. Having a family and a beautiful house with him.
Climbing onto the back of his bike I let him take me home and to the place all my dreams were sure to come true as long as it was with him.
Epilogue
Nine months later….
“I don’t care this baby is waiting until I say I do!” I shout at Lexa, Sam’s old lady.
Kevin was still butthurt that Sam still makes him call him Tom.
“Sweetie your water broke,” Lexa points out.
Turning from the mirror I snarl, “I fucking know!”
She takes a step back as her dress is showcasing her pregnant belly perfectly. I loved the color teal on her. My white dress was also form fitting.
“Dam it! Get Kevin,” I tell her through my tears.
It fucking hurt but I refused to walk out of this church anything but married.
“And the priest!” I shout at her retreating back.
Needless to say, I wasn’t leaving until I got what I wanted fifteen minutes later I had my wish and I was strapped into the passenger seat of my SUV.
The ride to the hospital was the fastest ride I’ve ever taken and the poor nurse who had the misfortune of dealing with Kevin was haggard as she rushed me to my hospital room.
Thirty minutes of pushing and I welcomed our son Liam into the world.
