tour all year, every year. We've been non stop, so now we want to chill a bit and I'm glad we did because now I have Finley and I want to be very included in his life.
I will tell the press we no longer see the need to keep Finley a secret so he can spend more time with me. There was no way I was going to get to spend as much time with Finley as I want without paparazzi getting a picture. So hopefully that keeps everyone safe.
Now I'm wishing I had a bigger car to put the presents I bought Finley in. I have a huge box for his trampoline, a wide box for his tent and another long and wide box for his scalextric racetrack. I hope Kendal doesn't get mad at me, not just for buying him stuff but because they aren't exactly small. They're all pretty big. Now I'm off to buy my huge surprise for all three of us. Fingers crossed Kendal won't freak out when I get to show her.
*~*~*
I walk out the building with a huge smile on my face. How much my life has changed in a week is unbelievable but I fucking love it. That present won't be ready for a month but I can't wait. By that time I'm hoping to have won Kendal back anyway. I have an hour until I need to pick Kendal up from work. I know she's doing what she loves but I wish she was the boss so she could choose her hours and spend more time with me. I know that's selfish but when it comes to that woman, I don't give two shits.
When I get back home Leo and Max are here.
"Where the fuck have you been?"
"Been locked up in Kendal's room already?"
I tell them about my day and they think me keeping Kendal's car keys is hilarious. Leo looks a little uncomfortable.
"Did you get Tanya's number?"
Aw shit, I haven't even asked Kendal.
"I'll ask Kendal tonight. I'm not promising anything."
He nods and stays quiet. Weird. Max has a big smile on his face.
"So what's Finley like?"
I didn't see them when I got in last night which I was pleased about. I had to run straight into a cold shower to cool off the effects from Kendal. I feel my face smile back at Max.
"Fucking hell man he's the coolest kid I've met."
I don't stop talking about him but Leo and Max don't look bothered. They look interested and ask me more questions. Probably because they love Kendal.
"Have you got any pictures?"
Fucking hell I forgot. I show them all the ones Kendal sent from her phone to mine and then I get the picture from my inside pocket. The one that Kendal gave me. I fucking love this picture. Max takes it and smiles.
"She looks happy."
"Yeah, as soon as Finley walks into the room she smiles. He makes her happy and I know why. I feel the same."
I don't care if I sound like a pussy. I'm talking about my son for fuck sake. I'll talk like a pussy as much as I want. Leo is still flicking through the pictures on my phone.
"Fucking hell man. Jax he looks just like you."
"I know, when you see him it's unreal."
Leo and Max both look up at me.
"When will we get to see him?"
I stand up because it's time for me to go pick up my girl.
"I dunno. I'll ask Kendal. He has school all week."
When I leave I don't miss the sad look on Leo's face. What is up with the man?
Chapter 5
~Kendal~
It's nearly 3:00 and I'm on my last customer. It's just a normal standard cut so it won't be long until it's time for me to go home. That means it's closer to when I see Jax again.
The dinner at my parents wasn't so bad. I thought I'd be told off and shouted at like I was a kid again but they were surprisingly OK with everything. I explained everything that had happened and why I kept Jax out of it and they totally understood. I regret not telling them sooner but then again my dad said no man should be kept away from his child, so he most likely would have tracked Jax down himself.
He also revealed he was relieved he didn't have to kick some guy’s ass for deserting his daughter and grandson. It was all my fault, so instead of me getting the ass kicking – I got his stern eyes which are worse. Believe me. My mum was a little
