Free Guarded Heart by C.A Harms Page B

back, “What is going on Wes?” I whispered against his neck. He
breathed me in and let out a deep breath, “I missed you and I wanted to see you
before I went to see Kayla. I was wondering if you wanted to come with me.
Sarah showed up at my parents today and put on one hell of a show in front of
Kayla. It took over an hour to get her to stop crying. My mom had to call the
cops on her and her boyfriend.” He looked so stressed and I felt horrible that
he and Sweet Kayla had to go through this. I agreed to go with him to his
parents and changed into some jeans quickly and we left.
    He held my hand the entire way lightly rubbing his thumb
across my knuckles. The ride was quiet and I let him just think without
interruption. His sister was there with the baby and Makayla instantly ran from
Rachel’s lap to leap into her daddy’s arms. I couldn’t believe her mommy was
putting her threw this garbage. I joined them all for dinner and when it came
to bedtime Kayla cried and cried because she wanted her daddy to stay all night
with her. He knew he needed to take me back to town and I could tell he felt
torn. “Hey, don’t worry about it I can call Allison to come and get me really
it is okay. She needs her daddy to comfort her…she feels safe with you.” I
kissed him lightly and told him to take her to bed.
    Allison pulled in about twenty minutes later and after I
told his parents goodbye I left. I filled Alli in on the way home about all the
stuff Wes was going through with Sarah. “Listen with all of this I probably
shouldn’t even bring it up but you’ll find out eventually anyway. I saw Heather
today at the Hospital…she lost the baby.” Oh no…I mean I hated her for what she
did to me but I felt sorry for her and Tony they had lost their baby. She must
be crushed. “How is she doing?” Allison pulled in to my driveway and turned to
me,” She didn’t say much I could just tell she was heartbroken. She was there
for a follow up with her doctor.” Wow…for the first time since I found out Tony
had cheated I actually felt sad for him. I hugged her goodbye and went inside.
    I knew I shouldn’t but I called Tony anyway.
    Sam, Hi…
    He sounded okay maybe a little to okay.
    Um hi…I just wanted to call to tell you and Heather
how sorry I am to hear about the baby. She must be heartbroken.
    He paused before answering.
    Yeah it was a shock really. She went in for a regular
visit and the baby had no heartbeat. She’s been a wreck since…she went to stay
with her mom…so
    I was wondering how he was but I didn’t want him to look
into it further then he needed to. I decided to end this call and I was already
regretting even calling to offer my sympathy.
    Well I just wanted to say I was sorry but I’m going to
let you go now
    And he went for it…
    Sam I want you back…please. I can’t stop thinking
about you. Will you please just talk to me…please Sam I love you so much.
    I couldn’t do this I just hung up…why the hell was I so
stupid. I never should have called him…Idiot Samantha…damn it.
    A text came through and I thought for sure it was from
Tony.
    Have I told you lately how amazing and understanding
you are…you are so special to me and I adore you.
    My heart raced when I read it. Wes was thanking me for
being amazing and damn it I just called my Ex fiancée. Dumb Samantha, just so
fucking dumb!
    You are pretty amazing and wonderful yourself. Sweet
dreams Handsome!
    My phone kept ringing for the next fifteen minutes and I
refused to answer it. Then my doorbell rang…motherfucker you have got to be kidding
me. I was so damn pissed off at myself.
    I opened the door to Tony and he immediately started
pleading with me to forgive him. We argued for about twenty minutes and I
really just wanted him to leave. I told him there would never be an ‘Us’ ever
again. He wasn’t getting it. I screamed at him, “I NEVER SHOULD HAVE CALLED
YOU!” I fisted my hands and started to tell him to leave again
