Enough For Him

“I never said that Leon, I’m just worried about Jayson and the fact that you didn’t think it was important to tell me. That has me worried at what scheme your trying to pull here” by now we were close enough that I could push at his chest lightly.

He suddenly grabbed my hand holding it at his chest. “Jayson’s safety is always my top priority Liz, Jayson and Harry get along really well” this was the first time that I had heard the guys name.

All the news reporters were just calling him homeless man.

I dropped my eyes and stepped back. Why was I never his top priority?

“I want to meet him” I spoke up after a few silent minutes.

I would be the judge. I’m not ignorant I know that homeless people are just like me and Leon but with different lives.

Leon seemed more than happy as he pushed me out of his office. I tried not to be too affected by the heat that came across my chest at the touch of his hand on my back.

I felt his finger slip through one of the straps on my dress. What was he playing at?

“Leon” I whispered only for him to move his fingers further.

He didn’t say anything. We finally made it into the dining area after looking around for Jayson.

We found Jayson sitting on the table with harry sitting behind him on a chair as they did a puzzle on the large marble table.

Leon’s fingers left my back.

“harry, I want you to meet Charlize. She’s my… Jayson’s mother” I picked up on the slip up Leon made but I ignored it and moved towards them.

“nice to meet you” I said sticking out my hand. He placed down a few puzzle pieces and took my hand.

“pleasure is mine, your little boy here is the reason I’m even here so I should thank you” this made both me and Leon look over at our son who was watching our interaction with interest.

“doughnuts aye?” I commented when harry was telling about what happened.

I laughed, doughnuts seemed to be the family favourite. Must run in the family.

After a few minutes talking to harry and seeing how he was with Jayson my worries soon vanished as I was no longer thinking that any harm could come to Jayson.

I stood in the hallway putting on my shoes and jacket. Leon came over with Jayson in his arms.

“you could stay for dinner you know” Leon said staring over at me.

Stay for dinner? Does he know it’s 2. 30.

I tried to not let it bother me. “I have to go” I said simply. Knowing that the longer I stay here with him. The worse it will get.

9 for effort though.

“Be a good boy okay, I will see you soon baby” I said kissing him on the cheek as I zipped up my coat.

I tried to not let his hot gaze affect me too much, but it was difficult.

I waved at the door as I got into my car. I wish the circumstances were different, but I couldn’t forgive him this easy. He can fool the public but deep inside I’m not sure that he’s even changed.

What’s to say he won’t cheat on me again once he gets bored.

It’s what they say isn’t it, once a cheater always a cheater.

From then our schedule was the same pretty much. We only really saw each other when dropping off Jayson and that was fine, I guess. As more time passes, I begin to miss him in ways I don’t know if I can handle.

It hurts. Knowing that the man I love is so close yet he’s still so far away.

“you bought him a car!!!” I practically shout at my brother as I leave Jayson in the living room. Somehow my brother decided to go shopping and not only buy himself clothes, flashy jewellery and a Gucci belt.

He shouldn’t be spoiling Jayson like this, he has to think of himself.

“he’s my nephew, can’t I treat him,” he asks, giving me that puppy eye look he perfected very early on when we were just kids.

Now, what am I supposed to say.

“treating him is buying him a cuddly toy not a full electronic car and all of this,” I said going through the numerous bags he had brought back after his day out with Jayson. I had an early meeting this morning and he offered to babysit.

I knew that he was only people kind and caring for us, but he really didn’t need to spend all this money on us it just wasn’t a great move on his part.

“you don’t like the new purse I got you,” he says waving around the black long purse that he bought from chanel.

Of course, I fucking like it.

“You’re impossible” I mutter walking through to the bathroom.

All I heard was his stupid laugh as he made his way back downstairs. Probably to go teach my baby how to drive his miniature car.

I decided to take advantage of having my brother here, so I decided to take a well-deserved shower after the exhausting day I’ve had.

I let the water run for a bit as I removed my necklace and rings and put them safely in a box on my table. I smiled to myself in the mirror as I heard the distant laughter of my two boys.

I must admit I wished Leon was there in the place of my brother, but I knew that was just for dreams not for reality.

I just began to unzip my skirt when suddenly I felt a hard rubber hand cover my mouth and I was instantly pulled back into a chest. A few months back I would have expected Leon to be behind some sick prank but this was way too real.

I tried to elbow him, but it was too late.

“let’s go see your little boyfriend downstairs shall we” he grinned ear to ear as he pushed me to walk out.

My eyes suddenly widened realising what danger we were all in and most importantly Jayson. He was too young to be involved in all this. I could not put him in danger.

“No no please no don’t hurt them” I cried struggling out of his hold. By the time we had gotten to the top of the staircase, George was standing at the bottom looking up to obviously see what was going on.

The original cheeky George I knew, was replaced with anger and most importantly fear as he watched me being dragged by this man. He made a move to help me, but my scream stopped him.
