Your life is your existence from the time you are born until the
time you die.
Christian stood by the cot
watching his baby daughter as she slept.
He loved her so much, never before had he ever felt such love a smile
curved at his lips as he recalled the night she was born. He’d been in the basement of his home playing
pool with a few friends when the phone had rang, Georgia his then girlfriend
had gone into labour and he was needed at the hospital straight away, not that
he had gone of course he’d just laughed and carried on playing pool but that
was a different Christian the selfish rough Christian who thought of no-one but
himself. The Christian who was
disrespectful to his mother and argumentative with his step father, the
Christian now was in control of his life a loving father who was now
holding down two jobs and he was still only 21 “So this is where you are?” he
heard a voice behind him, turning he smiled at Shelby Geddes his girlfriend of
now.
He turned to face the pretty
dark haired young woman then smiled “I’m just checking on Jessie” he
said as he shook his curtained hair out of those light green eyes Shelby smiled
then took a few paces nearer “Christian she’s fine…now come you have guests”
she reminded as she took his hand he looked at her then smiled
“I
will just give me a moment”
“Okay
but don’t be to long hon” he kissed her cheek then turned back to his daughter,
he loved to watch her sleep she was always so peaceful like some kind of little
angel How could anyone leave her? She
was so small and vulnerable yet that’s exactly what her mother had done she’d
left them when Jessie was just six months
“I love you so much” he whispered as he pulled her little teddy bear
cover over her then reached down and smoothed away her blond hair. He bent down and retrieved the white teddy,
which had obviously been tossed out in a fit of temper. Christian smiled as he recalled his
Mother’s words “She has your temper” she had told him one afternoon. He frowned as memories of his mother filled
his mind he hadn’t seen her for almost a year “Night sweetheart” he whispered
as he bent down and kissed her forehead.
Shelby was speaking to someone on her cell
phone when he appeared at the top of the stairs “I gotta go” she said hastily
as she watched him slowly descend nodding courteously to his guests as he
passed by “Drink” said Shelby handing him a glass of wine “Chris how’s that
sweet little girl of yours?” he heard a voice behind him a voice which for so
many years had struck fear into him, Christian’s eyes widened as he slowly
turned around “What the hell are you doing here?” he hissed the small dark man
frowned “Chris calm down” Shelby cautioned Christian placed the wine goblet
onto the table “Don’t! Tell me to calm
down”
“Do
what?”
“This…I
came to celebrate your birthday”
“Well! I sure as hell don’t want you here!”
“Chris!”
Christian
looked at the hand on his arm and promptly swept it away.
“I
want you to leave!”
“Chris!”
said
“Get
the hell out of my home”
“Christian
please cant we put the past behind us”
“You what? You gotta be kidding?” He said then suddenly seized the man by the
throat throwing him against the wall “If
you ever come within two feet of me I’ll blow your fucking head off!” he
threatened
“Christian…cool
it…let go of him”
Christian
hesitated for a second before obeying “Get outa my fucking house!” he growled
The
small man stared hard before making for the door “Just remember Boy I can whip
your ass anytime I damn well please”
Christian
made a sudden move towards him but was held back.
As soon as he’d gone Christian lifted
another drink from the silver tray and downed it in one gulp “Jesus Chris…I
thought you were really gonna kill him” he heard his friend say “That goddamn
temper of yours” he added as he watched Christian walk away.
“Are you okay?” he drew in a deep breath
then turned around “Yeah sure” the pretty blond smiled at him “I bet you never
thought you’d see him again” Christian drew in a deep breath “Nope” Kate stared
at him “Well you sure told him…how could you do that?”
“Well that went well,” snapped
“Don’t
start” Christian replied angrily as he poured himself another drink
“I think you’ve had enough”
“Yeah? Well I don’t! I ain’t had
nearly enough”
“Chris
please don’t start not tonight”
“Start
what? I ain’t starting anything you’re
the one mouthing off”
“I’m
going to bed!” said
“Yeah
that’s the best idea you’ve had all night”
It was just after one when Christian
retired to bed his disregarded clothes lay in a heap on the floor small stains
of blood visible, he took a deep breath then got into bed, his right hand
bandaged.
He woke with a start after something soft
hit his face. Opening one eye he turned his
head to where the little figure stood a grin on her little face “Hey how’s my
girl?” he smiled as he reached down to lift her onto the bed “Wow Jesus H
Christ” he groaned she stared at him light green eyes wide and expectant “Wow!”
he lay back down and held his head, the room spinning “How much did I have to
drink?” he thought as he glanced down to where Jessica now sat on the white rug
playing with Blinkie her white teddy bear Christian lay watching her for a
while she was engrossed in her task of trying to poke the toys eyes out, her
blond locks falling around her face “Daddy broke” she said as she held it up to
him “Hey sweetie I’ll fix it later okay?” she stared down at it then slowly got
to her feet and toddled over to the bed.
He lay there trying to will himself out
of bed and failing miserably Jessica had toddled off back to her room and was
now busy pulling out all her toys “What the hell is she doing?” he thought but
just couldn’t get out of bed. The sound
of something crashing next door and the wails of his daughter had Christian
flying from his bed and along the narrow hallway to her room “Oh Jesus!” he
yelled on witnessing the scene. The cot
lay upturned and two chubby little feet stuck out from beneath, it looked as
though she’d been trying to climb back inside and it had toppled “God! Oh God!”
cried Christian as he swiftly fixed the cot then lifted his sobbing daughter
into his arms consoling her after he’d checked to see that she was okay.
After breakfast Christian bathed his
daughter then while she took a nap he went to shower. He entered the bathroom and quickly turned on
the shower the water immediately springing to life. Closing his eyes he let the warm water hit
his face and run down the length of his well-toned body, all those trips to the
gym had paid off. He reached for the
soap and held it under his nose taking in the sweet smell before running it
along his arm across his shoulder then down the front of his torso a smiled curved
his lips on hearing Shelby knock lightly on the door, he reached down then
turned the golden key “Hey” he greeted she stood there taking in the sight of
him in all his nakedness “Where have you been?” she grinned back at him “I had
to go out…you were sleeping it off” she told him “Yeah?” she nodded “So what
exactly did I do last night?” she stared at him “You don’t remember?” he shook
his head “No” she moved closer “Well we argued” he frowned “We did? What about?” she forced a smile “Something in
nothing” he pouted at her “I’m sorry babe” he apologised she grinned “Yeah so
you should be…I hate it when we argue” she said as she stared at him the water
running like little raindrops down his face “I think you should make it up to
me right now!” he grinned “Really? And
how do you wish me to make it up to you ma’am?” she glanced at him taking in
every inch of that perfect body “Well!” she said as she begun to remove her
little black top Christian watched her closely, his desire intensifying with
each second he wanted her right there and then “I want you to make love to me
right here right now!” she demanded “Right now?” he asked locking the door once
again “Right now!” she said then kissed him roughly on the lips as she pushed
him violently against the shower wall.
Christian licked his bottom lip and
tasted blood
