2nd chance soul mate

Finding a house

On Sunday tony and Louise took the kids back to Bathurst to stay with them and drop at school Monday as Louise had a ultrasound.

Caitlyn

Can we head to the farm soon babe? Yep let me grab my keys he sang out. On the way over i looked at Marcus I need to ask you something I said. He nodded ok. Do your kids have bank accounts. He looked at me no why. mine do, I noticed when I was in town if the girls wanted to do something Stephanie was always saying I’ll just get money from dad. Hmmm he muttered, we’ll I figured what if they want something or want to go out with friends and your not around. jade and Stephanie are old enough to have their own cards I would like to give them accounts like my kids.

Marcus

Sweetheart there our kids they should all have the same I trust you to make decisions for the kids especially after how I seen you handle Jason I laughed.

what’s first when we get there I asked. Jerry is going to show me around I want to talk to mrs Jones she’s at the cottage more these days. Caitlyn said

You know it’s a good thing I trust Jerry since he’s becoming your new work hubby

Caitlyn

You only trust him because he wouldn’t let some guy dance with me without asking you. Plus he’s more of a work brother. There is no checking him out like I did with you. And I’m sure he’s still keen on Emma over the last few weeks he asked if she will be back for the holidays.

Marcus

Firstly it’s because he knew his intentions and protected you. Second of all feel free to check me out whenever you want I’m yours but I wonder why he’s asking you about Emma when those two have been texting.

Caitlyn

Wait what they mustn’t want me to know let’s just pretend I don’t know that always works I said sarcastically He chuckled as we turned into the car park. Jerry came to greet us.

Jerry I know it’s Sunday afternoon but where is everyone there’s usually more here.

Jerry

we don’t need many at the moment I want to show you everything. I grabbed Caitlyn’s hand she let go of Marcus and went past me. I turned to Marcus we have a problem please go to Darrell cottage he’ll explain.

Marcus

I headed to find Darrell at his cottage.

Caitlyn

Jerry showed me everything it was all truly amazing .We stood in front of a locked door the sign said office manager. He handed me a purple key I open it.

I looked around feeling happiness with a smile on my face it’s perfect I had my own bathroom money counting machines

Jerry

Caitlyn pulled a card out of her bag. The card had my name on it she already had it I was so excited I forgot my normal distance to avoid confusion or gossip and hugged her tight. Just then I heard Marcus voice are we interrupting no I said quickly, however clearly Caitlyn wanted more of a rise yes you are but since your here let’s go to helicopter together she said linking arms with him.

Marcus

Ok dear then you can go see mrs Jones I need to steal jerry and Darrell. Why what’s going on she demanded answers. We’ll we’re not sure Lexi hasn’t been here in days no one can contact her and Darrell thinks he seen bruises on her.

So we are just going to make sure she alright. wow the helicopter was amazing now we need to find another pilot for scenic rides while tony and I are at work.

Marcus

Already done jerry here has his pilot’s license he will do it. Now you better be going find Lexi I ordered . With a quick kiss.

I headed to mrs Jones cottage where mrs Jones and mrs white were having tea good morning ladies. How is everyone? Good they replied we chatted I caught them up on everything now we are looking for a house here.

Mrs Jones was excited to see us working out now dear I have a surprise for you and Marcus but I want to give it to the two of you together where is he mrs Jones asked.

I told them what Marcus had said about lexi they went to check but that was 2 hrs ago they should be back by now. I’ll called, it rang out Marcus never let my calls go to voicemail.

Ok mrs white said I know Lexi dad let’s go see if we can find out when we turned up I was in shock police tape all around. Jerry seen me Caitlyn he came over it’s ok they safe now. Where’s marcus? My voice trembling.

He’s taken Lexi to the hospital in the next town then will bring her back to police station come I’ll take you back to the office Marcus will come there.

We all went back to the farm in the office jerry and I sat.Jerry you tell me what happened right now.

Jerry

We’ll we knocked on the door her dad answered in his birthday suit blood in places indicating he had just had s*x with a virgin. Caitlyn watch as I continue. He said the sluts busy and slammed the door.Darrell had already bolted around the back I followed after him marcus bang on the door again.

When Lexi dad answered Marcus wedged his foot in the door so he couldn’t shut it, sir do you know who I am he asked Lexi dad replied yes so either you bring Lexi here or I will arrest you and search myself.

Good luck your not on duty the smart arse replied it will be trespassing he turned to be punched in the face by Darrel I saw him go down. I told marcus to call for back up we found Lexi.

Ok great so why the hospital Caitlyn asked It turns out the day before she stop coming her father seen her here it was a week day mostly men here Darrell and her were flirting you know the way these young 20 year olds are. It turns out her father thought she was a w***e and could not be his daughter.

So then he tied her up and we’ll r***d her only when he seen the blood did he realise he was wrong but for some reason he couldn’t stop . He r***d her and kept her tied up for the last few days.

Caitlyn was crying I walked over to hug her holding her in my arms I said she’s safe now can we please find her a cabin for when she gets back.

Caitlyn

In a few minutes I had a cabin sorted I got jerry to drive me to the motel where I got groceries and towels and toiletries for Lexi cabin. We drove back and stocked it up. Darrell was walking in the grounds.

Darrell I ran to him hugging him both Lexi and Darrell had left school young and started apprenticeship that’s why at 20 they were fully trained. Excuse me Caitlyn please let go I don’t want Marcus or Lexi to see. They’ll be here soon he said

I looked up at him after what you have been through if I want to hug you Marcus would be ok and Lexi we’ll Darrell I know you like her but she’s going to need some time . I know he replied ok go put some ice on your hand and rest.

I turned to Jerry I’ll have to speak to Marcus about you boys all been scared of him that I can’t even give a hug to someone young enough to be my child. He laughed Marcus would have been find it’s just Darrell hasn’t had much dealings with him.

I still don’t trust everyone yet he said is that because something has happened or you don’t know them yet. The second some of these guys a new to town that’s why I asked for Lexi cabin to be opposite me and next to Darrell.

Lexi and Marcus arrived back I gave her a big hug and walked her to the cabin jerry and Marcus sat on his cabin. I showed Lexi the cabin food supplies and toiletries. Lexi if you need anything you can always ask or talk to me . I then explained about her cabin been across from Jerry’s and next to Darrell I asked her if she was ok

Lexi

Caitlyn I still feel I can trust Darrell I know clearly this has nothing to do with no one else and I still want to get to know him but what if he doesn’t want that I’m damaged.

Caitlyn

We are all damaged in our own way and yes you have been wronged by having your virginity taken he won’t hold that against you I know I hugged him out of relief to see him back and all he cared about was you not seeing and getting the wrong idea.

Just then my phone rang hello I said is everything ok now yes mrs Jones Marcus and I are going to say goodbye to jerry and go it was 7pm oh can you and Marcus come here with jerry and Darrell I want to give you two your surprise before you guys get busy with work this week. Ok I said

I have to go grab Marcus, jerry and Darrell mrs Jones has a surprise for us. Oh can I come please sure make sure I walked over to Jerry Darrell was now there too

mrs Jones has summoned all of us apparently she has a surprise for Marcus and i and you two are needed.

Marcus

Darrell was walking to see Lexi they stopped and hugged he asked her if she was ok with him been that close she answered with a kiss. We all looked away Jerry laughed do I need to remind you that you now have a 15 and 14 year it won’t be long before that’s your kids. I stiffen we’ll I’m sure Daniel will be fine it’s Stephanie I worry about with that Jason boy.

Jerry said I know he’s older but he’s a good kid did you know he raise his siblings sure the grandparents help with babysitting but he pays for it all rent bills school food anything they need

I did not know that why where’s his parents I asked. Deceased in a farm accident he saw the whole thing 1 year ago. Jerry Caitlyn said tomorrow arrange a family cabin for him here so he doesn’t have to pay rent. Now let’s go unless you want to see mrs Jones mad. We drove over to mrs Jones who was waiting don’t get out I’ll get in.

Where are we going I asked Jerry gave me directions when I arrived there stood a massive mansion there’s a carpark underneath he said

Caitlyn

Mrs Jones you built a house and now that you are ready to live together here we are. Jerry walked over sorry i didn’t tell you but this was kinda a good thing so I agreed the staff that worked on it all got paid by mrs Jones via me and I gave them two weeks off.

We have a house Marcus finally it’s amazing. We checked it out it even was fully furnished I want to show you the two best features said lexi there’s more I said. Just a kids play centre it was filled with arcade games pool table air hockey table PlayStation switch consoles and tv. Wow and a cinema room a small cinema room that could hold approx 50.

We loved it all we dropped them off and said goodbye as we headed back to motel
