Travis was going away forever and a day, he was lucky if you ask me, I’d like to make his raping ass suffer a fate worse than death. The only one left was the one who had participated from the sidelines, she might not have been there physically, but she had a hand in that shit, pay she must.
I’d spent the last few weeks grooming her for what was coming, it was the hardest fucking thing I’d ever had to do in my life, actually talking to this person when I really wanted to punch her in the face but if I wanted my plan to work, I had no choice.
Lamb had no idea about this side of it and if she found out she’d probably kick my ass no matter the reason so I usually had Nessa or mom sidetracking her with plans.
The day finally arrived, I thought for sure I would be nervous but no, I was cool as a cucumber, lamb was fucking beautiful and I was almost tempted to take her in the back of the limo on the way to our little surprise.
Now for the hard part, well not exactly, I was going to enjoy the hell out of this. You see I’d spent the last couple of weeks making Josie believe that I was rebuilding a relationship with her, that that whole fiasco with Carrie was just a huge mistake and I wanted to give us a shot, I sent her flowers and candy and even jewelry, of course not real jewelry, I don’t think lamb would appreciate that shit no matter what the reason and I had Matt buy the flowers and candy, I didn’t let Nessa in on what was going on because her loyalties had changed, she would’ve outed me to Carrie in a heartbeat.
Lamb didn’t understand why I had to leave her after the first part of my little plan, but mom stepped in and did her part. When I reached the country club where I’d been to so many galas and coming out balls in the past, the place was packed. It was set up as one of mom’s holiday parties, everyone who was anyone was there, I’d set the scene perfectly.
I only needed a few minutes; I hoped that all my bullshit lies had paid off. When I got inside I saw exactly what I wanted to see.
Josie was sitting like queen of the ball, surrounded by her friends and the other debutantes she’d been reigning over for the past two years at least, she was in her element. I was the feather in her cap. The son of the wealthiest family was a huge catch even for someone whose family was somewhat well off.
I’m sure she’d been telling everyone that we were an item and all the other bullshit I’d fed her, she was under the impression that something major was about to happen here tonight. It was, just not what she thought.
“Oh Joshua great you’re here, I was just telling the girls that we’ll be going to your island for the holidays, wouldn’t it be fun if we could invite some of them, I hope you’re not bringing Vanessa with, I still haven’t forgiven her for befriending that Carrie person, I mean as if you would really choose that thing over me.”
Her girlfriends laughed along with her, I wonder if any of them could see the venom in my eyes, I wanted to reach out and choke this bitch, but no, she was actually playing right into my hands rather nicely.
I lifted the corner of my mouth so as not to tip them off; I’m not accustomed to laughing so they shouldn’t be too surprised.
“And another thing, I don’t think you’ve apologized nearly enough so I was thinking you’re going to need to get me something extra special for Xmas.” She looked at the plastic bracelet I’d sent her, stupid ass didn’t even know the difference, she hadn’t even merited a zircon while I’d put a five carat flawless diamond on lambs finger.
By the time the holiday was over my girl would have enough diamonds and other precious gems to make Liz Taylor’s collection look like a pauper’s. I know she loves that shit.
I spent the next twenty minutes with Josie and her friends listening to her lord it over me, the sad sap who was trying to get back into her good graces. When she’d dug her grave deep enough for the biggest impact, I made my excuses on the pretense of going to the men’s room. I thought she would follow me there for a minute but one of her hangers on waylaid her.
In reality Matt had sent me a text letting me know they were ready. I snuck out one of the side doors and met my wife at the car.
“Hi baby you ready?”
“As I’ll ever be.” I kissed her long and hard until my father told us to get a room and stop embarrassing him and mom. The Captain was there with a date along with the rest of my family.
Reentering through the same door I waited until my mother had entered the room to do her part. There was a break in the music as the emcee took to the microphone.
“Ladies and gentlemen tonight I have the great honor of announcing some spectacular news concerning one of our leading families in the community.”
As he was speaking I saw my father approach the head of the Lehman family with the news that Josie was about to be implicated in the kidnapping and near rape and murder of Carissa. I’m sure by this time next week she’d be in a boarding school in Switzerland or some shit, something she’d always told me she dreaded.
I kept my eyes on Josie as she preened for her friends, her eyes scanning the room looking for me no doubt; lamb and I were hidden behind a huge arrangement of poinsettias made into a Xmas tree.
“I love you baby.”
I squeezed her hand as the guy announced, “May I introduce to you Mr. And Mrs. Joshua Steele.”
Chapter 43
Carrie
So crazy guy convinced me to marry him, that’s what we’d done that morning before his little surprise at the country club. We’d exchanged vows in his parents’ backyard with just his family and my dad there, that’s all we’d needed. When he’d first asked I’d been a little scared; not of marrying him because let’s face it after everything we’d been through in the last few months I pretty much knew that there would be no one better for me out there and as young as we were we both knew our minds and our hearts, besides I was pretty sure Joshua would never let me go anyway, not in this lifetime.
So we’d done the deed which I’d known about for a little while now or at least ever since Patti’s ass whipping, I’m still a little surprised that he actually let that one slide, I was sure that if he found out about my escape he’d hit the roof but he let me off the hook that one time.
Now we’re married and I’m still on cloud nine, Joshua has been amazing since my whole near death thing, he still has his moments where he’s a raging jackass and I want to maim his ass but all in all he’s proven that he loves me beneath all that gruff caveman behavior.
That night after we’d said our vows I wasn’t aware of his little plot against that idiot Josie but I remember questioning why he had to go ahead to the venue without his new bride, I’d finally decided that he must’ve had some sort of surprise in store for me and boy was I right; to an extent.
Walking into the room on Joshua’s arm we’d stayed hidden behind this big ass tree display and with me being nervous as hell around all those strangers I hadn’t paid too much attention to what was going on, then I’d noticed that skank sitting at a table with what had to be her following, a group of females that she seemed to reign supreme over. She was preening and primping when the dude on the Rodney started speaking and looking around as though searching for someone. She seemed rather excited for someone who’d just basically lost the guy she’d been scheming after, it was only after the guy announced Joshua and I that I saw the look of horror on her face and the way she tried to shrink into herself as some of the girls at the table started laughing and pointing. Seriously, people needed to choose their friends better.
We walked into the room to a standing ovation and I forgot all about her for the next little while as there were so many people coming up to us to congratulate us. Then we were joined by the rest of the family and all the Steeles’ friends were congratulating them and the next thing I knew Joshua and I were receiving envelopes that Margaret told me to keep in this kick ass silk bag she passed off to me. By the time I remembered the skank she was no longer at her table. I searched the room but couldn’t find her anywhere.
“What’re you doing lamb?�
�
“Nothing, I thought I saw Josie earlier but she’s not there anymore.”
“Probably home packing for her trip to Europe.”
“What?” That was a bit confusing, and why the hell would he be knowing that?
“Kill the death rays babe, my dad had a word with hers about her part in what happened to you; I’m pretty sure he suggested either boarding school away somewhere or jail. Either way she’s fucked.”
Did I mention that my husband is one scary guy?
Josh
She’s mine now, not that there was ever any doubt but it’s official, teenage newlyweds. The thing is we’re not your average teenagers so it works. We’re not pregnant and not in a rush to be; we’ve got shit to do. It’s just the guy in me needed this with her; there was no sense in waiting another few years, for what? She wasn’t going anywhere and neither was I. Now she doesn’t only have me but the protection of my family name. School was next and then after that the sky’s the limit. Lamb’s getting better every day, she’s not a hundred percent yet but I figure if she’s up to climbing out windows to kick people’s ass she must be on the mend. I’m pretty sure she thinks she’s off the hook for that one, huh; not even close I’m giving her stubborn ass enough time to heal before I deal with her fuckery. This is lamb we’re talking about here can’t let her get away with shit.
“Babe it’s time to eat.”
We were relaxing by the pool so she could get some sun, that not eating shit she’d pulled a few weeks back had taken a lot out of her. Her doctors prescribed lots of rest and fresh air with a healthy diet. Today’s lunch was liver which she hated but too bad it was the best thing for her and she was eating it even if I had to feed it to her like I’d done the other two times she’d had it. Already she was turning her nose up at me; I saw the look of intent enter her eyes and was out of my lounger and snatching her up before she took a runner.
“Oh no you don’t baby.”
“But I don’t wanna.” She was so cute, that was her new thing, the sulking pouty lips. How could a guy resist?
I kissed her bottom lip until she opened up and I sunk into her.
Hmmm, maybe lunch could wait a few minutes.
