A Life Plan Without You. (25 page)

I has a feeling he would pull this sort of stunt he’s and
emotional boy with worries she knows nothing about, even so, she
was right he needs telling, his money is stopped until this shit
calms down, and I need to tell Karen she has to stop Michelle will
kill her and for what a never coming bunk up from Wam-Bam? That is
one deluded young lady, desperate for someone to love her, sorry
Karen that someone isn’t me. I saw how she tried to mess Michelle’s
game up today, and all it did was hinder her team, such a
brat!

I watch as she walks off, she’s different today, more I don’t
know feisty? Crap can she get any more bloody sexy? I had a hard on
for the whole game knowing that arse was mine, and it made me happy
knowing the lads on the field watching knew that too! She showers
and comes out as the away team start their look see thing they do
around me; I ignore them all. I smile as she shimmies over to me
smiling at my fan club, wow that girl right there is way prettier
than you lot, move your blocking my view of perfection. No worries
baby because they aren’t you. and sheisk she still has on the games
skirt her backside is so fucking cute and I swear if she shakes it
at me one more time I won’t be held responsible, the other teams
coach is chatting to her as I watch and wait for the girls to
disappear, they know from the look she means business…

“You finished chatting Sam?”

Umm, baby I didn’t open my mouth, they knew I was watching
you, wow I like this new you baby, yeah show me that backside, holy
mama is she really shaking it in my direction? Damn I need her
soon…

“Good game by the way.” Their coach said as she passed. “We
lost the league today, wish you’d been on our team, if you fancy a
move to St James’s we would love to have you?” I smiled, looking
over at Sam who listened and he smiled back, his eyes not leaving
mine, why would they I have been shaking the backside of this skirt
to keep his attention, and umm I will reward him with something
special tonight!

“You played very well too, but we’ve been practicing all week,
we knew you were going to be hard to beat. I’m sorry, but I’m going
to uni and then pastures new. I have to go goodbye and good luck,
the next lot are even better than us.” Sam pulled at my
hand.

“Right, are you coming home with me, or am I coming to yours?”
I shrugged my shoulders.

“As long as I’m not late back yours but who’s looking after
your Mum tonight?” He laughed.

“Jimmy.” I laughed too.

“Give me two minutes to change and I’ll be right with you,
come in. Sam I’m sorry about this, but Pats in residence again.
I’ll just dump my bag.” I wanted her to know I had a well-mannered
fella, not just a local thug. Mum too seemed to want to rub her
nose in it. I could sit and listen to hear what she said or I am
going to rescue him? No, I’m not that cruel. I threw my stuff down
and went to grab my man from the bitch in the front
room.

CHAPTER
4

“I’m ready are you coming?” He was up and saying his goodbyes,
and looked at the skirt. “Mum I’ll be back later, I’m going to see
Sam’s mum, she’s still poorly, and Sam will bring me back.” Pat was
about to say something, but I legged it out quick smart. “Sorry
about that she’s a pain, in her own bum that one and has ears like
a firkin bat. What did she ask you?”

“She didn’t actually speak, because you were up and down the
stairs really quickly Michelle, she didn’t get a chance, is that
why you’ve still got the little red number on?” I blushed, that and
he likes my bum in it yep.

“It’s maroon and yes couldn’t leave you in there with her. Dad
doesn’t even go in the same room as her, why do you not like my
maroon skirt now? I vaguely remember you saying my bum was sexy in
it?” He wrapped his arm around me.

“I do remember words to that effect.” We talked about the note
again, he was annoyed at Jimmy again, and that boy is pissing me
off too.

“I am not using you baby, far from it, and I wouldn’t go with
her if my life depended on it. She is right I did use girls, I
didn’t lie to you, but I promise I have changed.” He kissed me and
I smiled.

“I know you have, besides I have had more than one date and
well, I haven t had sex with you yet, you dump them after that
apparently? I’m not sure who actually wrote it, but Jimmy’s writing
looked familiar. He and Karen were thick as thieves when we got in
to the room, and Jimmy didn’t deny it. Fancy him telling people
we’d slept together?” One look at his face told me he looked like
he knew where the inspiration for the story had come
from.

“Oh wait you didn’t did you? Tell him we had?” He looked none
too happy with that.

“Actually I didn’t, Andy did. They were talking when Jimmy got
in and Andy led him to believe he’d caught us at it. As to dumping
you after sex I highly doubt that baby, this is the real thing for
me, and I want more.” I hung of his arm.

“You didn’t think to put him straight. I think I handled him,
but I’ve about had it with him, and what’s the more you
want?”

“I should have your right but, I didn’t think he would do
that. Let’s not argue about it, I want more yes, well I don’t know
if you’re ready for the more I want?”

“I wasn’t aware we were arguing angel. I’m not giving him the
satisfaction, of thinking he’s coming between us, because that’s
what he wants, what’s the more you want… Erg ouch… Ouch… Shit,
shit, shit…” I didn’t see the pavement edge and fell over, hurting
my ankle.

Oh fuck, she’s falling and I can’t grab her, crap I want to
laugh as she’s literally at my feet again, but this looks serious
make a joke before she cries, fuck her foot, her ankle she needs
her feet for dancing, for hockey God she’s in pain I can’t stand
the look on her face…

“Hell, falling for me again, enjoy the trip? Shit Michelle are
you okay?” I wasn’t going to cry, but it hurt like crap.

“I’m fine, please can I have a hand getting up please, and
your jokes are crap.” He lifted me carefully up and carried me the
short distance to his house. “Thanks, I think you can put me down.
You look knackered.” He kissed me as he put me down. “Let me speak
to Jimmy, if he’s in? I need to sort him out and put him straight.”
I limped into the lounge and Jimmy was sat in a chair, he was about
to leave when I asked him nicely to stay.

It’s taking me all I have not to hit him for hurting her,
he’s a petty little idiot, but she is hurting now and despite her
saying she was fine our romance is just that ours and she didn’t
want those details getting back to her father, he and I still have
to have the chat yet, I would guess it’s coming soon though, but
this is Jimmy’s last warning…

“Please Jimmy, what have I ever done to upset you, because I
have only ever been nice to you? I'm not sure if me and Sam is the
only reason your being such a brat, or are you being dragged along
with Karen, who if you think gives one jot about you then you’re so
wrong. She’s using you to get to me and Sam.” He tipped his
shoulders at me.

“Sam has your Mum got any ice or frozen peas?” He went in
search of something to take down the swelling. “I’m sorry if Sam
and I being together is upsetting you, but we’re together and
nothing you can do or say is going to change that. Do you
understand? You aren’t going to split us up, but understand this,
if anything happens like it did today not only will I get it sorted
I think Sam will be on your case too. He’s mad as hell and it’s
taken him a lot of restraint, not to knock seven shades out of you
and to let me deal with your crap.” He looked really sad and
frustrated.

She has damned more patience with him than I have, I want to
throttle him, and I know she needed to talk to him to let him down,
she hates conflict and runs from it rather than facing it, and
that’s why I’m twiddling my thumbs in here as I run a tea towel
under the flowing freezing cold water to use as a compress when she
has finished. I listen as she takes a backlash, shit he’s hurting
too really hurting…

“Okay. I’m not happy about you and him and never will be, he
did it on purpose, he knew what he was doing and with who. Don’t
come running to me when he uses you. You won’t be the first by a
long way, he’s known for it and I told your Dad that too when he
asked why I thought he was with you. You’re here for now, so
enjoying it, because it won’t be for long, don’t come running to me
when he breaks your heart, and he will. I’m going out bye.” He ran
out of the door and it was a fucking good job I’m in pain, because
I am going to kill the little turd when I see him again, shit the
backstabbing little weasel…

“Arghhhh I’m stupidly angry, damn and bloody blast, blood and
sand and all the fucking Saints preserve us!” I kicked the damn
coffee table. “Ouch, Michelle you gormless bitch you, oh you
motherfucking stupid table, that hurt! James Robert, you fucking
little idiot, oh hell the vindictive little arghhhh… I would kick
his arse but I need two feet! Bummer, Sam I kicked the table I may
ave broken my damn foot, I handled that well then?”

“Did he actually say what I thought I heard him say? He told
your Dad what exactly?” Sam came back with a wet tea towel and he
wrapped it around my ankle, and sat down on the couch next to
me.

“He was the one blabbing to Dad, but don’t worry I’m sure it
was bad, but he knows or will know when I get home that you beat
him in asking me out and he was just hitting out and he’s hurting,
that he missed his chance. I’m not really blaming him, not really
he’s hitting out to try to split us up. He thinks this will turn
Dad against you, but it won’t, you’re here and if Dad really
believed what he said, I would be at home and grounded, you’d be
resting from your trip to casualty. Oww, help oh no… That’s really
hurting angel!” He gently elevated my ankle to put it on his lap,
and then he kissed my toes. Arghhhh…

“Erg, no don’t, I hate my toes being touched.” He began
laughing.

“Oh, is that the only place of limits then?”

“Pretty
much, but as I haven’t ever had them kissed before, it wasn’t what
I was expecting you to kiss, and it wasn’t bad as far as toe kisses
go. I’m more used to them being rubbed when they get battered in
classes, and nobody does a foot rub better than Lee!”

“Umm wanna bet?” I smiled as he began rubbing the pad of my
foot, the deep massage was bloody good and as I groaned what the
hell? How can that be making me hornie? “Lee still the winner then
baby?”

“I guess not, my sore foot isn’t as sore now but umm quit it
or we will end up doing something you don’t want to do Pleaseee,
its sort of doing stuff to me again!”

“Umm I do like to do things well, now let’s have a look!” He
looked at my ankle. “It’s going down nicely do you want something
to eat or drink even, you haven’t eaten tonight, I can go for
pizza?”

“No I’m fine thanks, I’m not a big eater I tend to skip meals,
I know bad of me but when you eat Mum’s cooking you will understand
why, I snack a lot. Do you think the talk with Jimmy did
anything?”

“No, but your right he has said too much this time, if I
hadn’t already told you that stuff, you’d be running for the door
as fast as your poor ankle could carry you, the next time he steps
out of line I’ll be sorting it, I can’t believe you’re so calm. I
wanted to kill him after the last stunt, this time he went too far,
I’m sorry he’s hurting, but I can’t help who I fell for, and it
seems you can’t either.

So that’s who your Dad spoke to, great he won’t be happy and
believe I am never going to break your heart! I wish people would
leave us alone; it’s hard enough without their interference. I’m
sorry I hurt the little shit, but I can’t help it, had he got in
first you would have told him no, so best he feels shit about me
getting you, than you rejecting him out right and leaving him
feeling even worse. Not falling for him, and falling at my feet
instead, was the best night ever, well for me anyway, you really
are clumsy baby!” I shrugged my shoulders at him again.

“I’m such a hard girl to get over, is this going to be
tonight’s joke my ankle and not looking where I was going?”
Laughing, as I said it.

“I hope I never have to get over you, and no the jokes are
over, I’m in for a fall if I say anything else.” He looked at my
foot again laughing. Oh, my lord that was so nice.

“It looks fine though I’m no expert though. Can you stand on
it?” I got up to try, but it hurt.

“I’ve got classes Friday and you wanted to go out Saturday.” I
wanted to cry.

“Mum’s got loads of elastic bandage stuff, let’s do your
ankle.” He went to a cupboard and brought one back. “Right how do I
do this?” I showed him what to do.

“Not too tight Sam, I need to be able to bend my ankle.” Right
he’d done it. “Let’s see if I can put weight on it.” I took a step,
not that bad. I need to be able to dance on it though. I’m sure
it’s hurting, but I don’t care much. He sat me down, put a
Commodores record on, sat back at the side of me, and put my feet
in his lap, the music played in the background.

“So do you think you’ll be any good for the weekend, then? I’m
taking my angel to Heaven, I’ve already asked your Mum, who says it
will be fine as long as I keep my eye on you.” I smiled back at
him.
