Falling For My Ex: A Second Chance Romance by Lauren Wood (26)


Chapter 7

Bash

 

It’s been one month since Sophie approved of Emma. It felt like Emma lives with me since she spent most of her nights either in my bed or reading a story to Sophie in a blanket fort that she and Sophie built together. I’ve never seen Sophie this happy and not mention Emma makes me happy as well.

We felt like a complete family.

Even on parent meetings at school, Emma attends for me instead of one of my secretaries since I’m usually busy. Sometimes Sophie would catch Emma and I in each other’s arms which Sophie will just smile and giggle as she walks away. I could finally say that I know what happily in love means. Emma has showed me that you could love someone happily outside from your family.

It was a lovely Saturday afternoon, Emma and Sophie were playing on the new tire swing I just put up for them while I sat on a lounging chair watching them. The doorbell rung and I gestured for the maids to get it for me. I was expecting maybe it was one of my secretaries or one of my colleagues.

But it was so much worse…

“Sophie darling!” I heard Isabella’s voice which made me bolt up. “Mom?” Sophie couldn’t believe that her mother was here, she was more confused than happy. “Yes darling, it is I. And I brought gifts from Paris. You won’t believe how much the dress I bought you,” she said as the maids brought in tons of shopping bags.

I stood up and approached Isabella, she wasn’t supposed to come here unless she gives me a call first. I looked towards Emma and she looked like she didn’t know what to do.

“What are you doing here?” I hissed at her. I was still pissed at her for not attending the Mother’s day event at Sophie’s school. “Bash honey, it’s good to see you too,” as she suddenly grabbed both of my hands with hers.

She wore a very expensive looking white dress with white tall heels, her hair was pulled into a neat bun as she wore pearl earrings and pearl necklace with large sunglasses. And she had on her signature red lipstick.

“I’ve been thinking lately honey that I want to be part of the family. I want to come back,” she said, thinking that it’ll be easy. Suddenly a very furious Sophie approached Isabella as she pointed at her accusingly, “You lied! You promised you’ll be there but you weren’t. For that I hate you!” she yelled at Isabella as she ran towards her room.

Isabella looked appalled at her daughter. “How dare she raised her voice at me? I’m going to teach her a lesson,” Isabella said but before she could go inside the house I grabbed her by the elbow. “You won’t be teaching her anything. You deserved that because you stood her up, your own daughter Isabella!” I told her.

“But I have a good excuse! I had a photoshoot and I couldn’t miss it,” She said. I rolled my eyes at her but then I heard Emma clear her throat. Isabella then finally noticed Emma’s presence, her judgmental eyes looked Emma from head to toe.

“Isabella, this is my girlfriend, Emma. Emma, this is Sophie’s mom, Isabella,” I introduced one another. Emma stuck her hand out for Isabella to shake, “Nice to finally meet you,” But Isabella just stared at Emma’s hand with disgust.

“You’re seeing someone without my approval?” Isabella hissed. “Why do I need your approval?” I asked her. My arm that was wrapped around Emma’s waist tightened. “Don’t forget but Sophie is my child too,” she hissed.

“You sure haven’t been acting like a parent,” I pointed out. “Then maybe we should settle this at court? I want full custody of Sophie,” she said which made Emma gasp. Isabella just added fuel to the fire of my raging anger towards her.

“Maybe you have forgotten Isabella?” I spat out her name. “But it was you who gave me legal and physical custody over Sophie. Now, I allowed you visitations and such but to go to court because you suddenly want Sophie? What if in the near future you decide you don’t want her anymore? This is no easy case Isabella, you will lose,”

Isabella literally growled at me as I fumed at her. “Emma is mine! And you can’t do anything about that. You’re free to visit Sophie any time but you won’t be staying in this house so I suggest you check into a hotel… Even if Emma wasn’t here I still wouldn’t agree to your idea because I don’t love you,” I growled. Isabella whirled around and stormed into the house to leave through the front door, not before pushing the maids aside which caused them to drop all the shopping bags.

Once the front door was slammed shut I pulled Emma closer to me. I nuzzled my head into her neck because her scent calms me down. “I’m so sorry Emma,” I told her. She cradled my head as she said “It’s alright Bash. She is Sophie’s mother and she deserves to be here no matter of her mistakes in the past. But what if it’s a good idea for you both to get back together again?”

I pulled away to look into her gorgeous eyes. “Even if it seems like a good idea I would never allow it. I love you Emma,” those words made Emma surprised. I guess she didn’t expect to hear those words from a bachelor like me. But she has to get used to it because I meant when I said that I wanted Emma in my life permanently.

“Not even Isabella can get in my way for loving you. Sophie might be my world but what’s a world without happiness? You’re my happiness Emma,” I told her softly as I pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Tears brimmed her eyes as she stared at me lovingly with a beautiful smile.

“I love you too Bash,” she said as she cupped my face and pressed a big kiss on my lips. My hands traveled to her bottom and gave it a light squeeze which made her gasp as she stared at me with wide eyes. “Bash! Not here, we’re going to get caught,” she scolded me.

Damn, I love it when she scolds me.

“That didn’t stop us when we did it on the stairs… kitchen… car, should I go on?” I pointed out a few places where we had sex. Sometimes I couldn’t believe that it was Emma who was fucking me because she seemed so passive during our first time. But the next ones were pure fucking. Bodies slamming together, lewd sounds of skin slapping skin, fluids squishing around, and grunts and moans would fill the room.

Emma turned red as she remembered all of those intimate activities. She playfully slapped my shoulder as her head whirled around making sure nobody heard what I said and this made me chuckle at her. “If you’re so scared of getting caught then we could go to our room?” I offered. I expected her to start dragging me like she usually does but instead she said “We should go check up on Sophie to see if she’s okay,”

I could feel my raging boner cry out loud from the rejection. Emma’s eyes drifted downwards and spotted the huge tent in my pants. She chuckled and said “I’ll go first to Sophie to make sure she’s okay while you get rid of that. Then maybe afterwards you can help me take a bath,”

Such a tease.

“But I need your help to get rid of it,” I said which made her laugh out loud. “You can take care of yourself besides I can’t always think about you, I have to think about Sophie as well,” she said. She’ll never know how much that means to me. She gave me a kiss and winked at me before going back inside the house.

And this is why I love her.
