2nd chance soul mate

Wires crossed

Caitlyn

The next few weeks flew by everything was good the farm was due to open in two weeks and tony and Louise were coming up every weekend. Tonight was the first night in our relationship Marcus was taking me out to dinner without the kids. Louise and tony had suggested it they will stay in the penthouse with the kids and we will stay in another room.

Dinner was amazing, afterwards we strolled through town happy in each other’s company. Marcus I need to ask you something Marcus raised his eyebrows ok in 2 weeks I need to be here for the whole week maybe 2 for the farm opening

Would you be able to take the two weeks off to take the kids to and from school we can stay here for 2 weeks together, I have Daniel and Stephanie exams timetable no early starts.

Marcus

Honey as much as I want to I have to work here for one week at least during the opening. I assumed the kids wouldn’t go Caitlyn lent against me how did we think this would work she whispered.

My heart sank Caitlyn was regretting our relationship because I couldn’t do what she wanted . What I asked she looked into my eyes searching for what I was asking. Then kissed me hard.

Caitlyn

You fool I groaned as I kissed him hard. He pulled away, I meant living in Bathurst and running the farm. Before smashing my lips to his again.

In that moment the heat between us was electric all I wanted was him as we kissed I groaned take me to bed before I have you here. My lips not leaving his he picked me up carried me to the room.

Once we were back in the room I went and put on some lingerie but when I came out Marcus was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. I walked over as he lifted his head tears beginning to fall. What’s wrong honey.

Marcus

I have messed up so many times, now you, me ,here, oh that lingerie, I didn’t.

Marcus your not making sense what’s going on she was getting upset. You said you wanted me and I always want you. Ok I don’t see the prob she didn’t finish I thought she understood till I heard her running back to the bathroom crying.

Caitlyn why are you crying the doors locked let me in. Go away she yelled I know I’m stupid but we can still spend the night together in bed.

Just then Caitlyn ripped the bathroom door open she was dressed I never want to see you again she stomped out slamming the door

I slowly sneaked in to the penthouse tony and Louise are watching a movie . Hey thought you were staying out the night.

Wiping my tears with my sleeves change of plans I’m going to pack my things and head to farm I’ll collect the kids in the morning. It’s to late Louise said.

More importantly where’s Marcus and why are you crying Tony asked. I was so upset, angry I forgot I was talking to his brother probably finding someone else to sleep with that’s all he wants.

No Caitlyn I don’t believe that your the first person he’s been with since Michelle Well he just told me that he doesn’t want me. But then suggested we spend the night in bed.

Tony jumped up I kill him he said running out the door. I looked at Louise I’m sorry I ruined your night she walked me into the room and helped me on the bed then covering me. Everything smells like Marcus I weeped laying down.

Tony

I bang on the room Marcus and Caitlyn were meant to be in.Marcus answered the door do you have anyone here no he spat what’s wrong with you.

I going to give you a hiding I said as I pushed him in the room. He was my older brother but I am a firefighter I work out, lift more. Mama raised you better we don’t treat women like how you treated Caitlyn.

You seen her he scratched were else would she go after you told her you don’t want her but you could still spend the night together. What I did no such thing he said. I raised my eyebrow. tell me what happen then..

Marcus

We had a nice dinner then we went for a stroll through town we sat on a chair in the park. We briefly spoke about work kids and arrangements. At one stage I was even upset thinking she regretted us turned out she was just talking about managing the farm and not living here.

Ok so you know she’s into you go on. No alarm bells yet, Then she kissed me asked me to take her to bed. I quickly picked her up carried her basically almost running while kissing her till we got to the room

Caitlyn went to the bathroom and i went to get ready. I realised I forgot to pack the condoms. So tony replied we have six kids we never have s*x without them it’s a new relationship and whilst I would be more then happy to have a kid with her She does not feel the same.

Whoa did you tell her you had no condoms or that you wanted a kid he asked she walked out in some sexy lingerie as I sat on the bed my head in my hands I apologise I forgot to pack and she wanted me, her in that lingerie me forgetting I’m so stupid I don’t deserve her I told her it’s not the first time I have forgotten to do something for her I told her you wanted me I always want you she told me ok I don’t see the prob she didn’t finish I thought she realised.

Then I heard her run back to bathroom I tried to get there but she locked it she was crying I was asking her to let me in ripped the door open I said I’m sorry but we can still spend the night in bed together she stormed out of hear saying she never wanted to see me again.

Tony

So big brother why does she think you broke up with her but then asked her for s*x. I waited no reply so I change tactics I asked about Caitlyn husband. I wasn’t prepared for what he told me.

That’s it your so stupid she didn’t realise about the condom she thinks you were trying to tell her you want her for s*x but not her then you asked her to spend the night.

You need to fix this she’s at the penthouse.

Marcus

I quickly rushed to the penthouse went in as Louise walked out of the bedroom looking like she could kill me Tony pulled her to the side, spoke with her I rushed into the room. Caitlyn saw she jumped up what are you doing here get out she screamed I shut the door and locked it before the kids came in knowing Tony would stop them.

Baby I didn’t mean what you think I meant I forgot to pack the condoms I said as I opened the bedside draw for her to see. I admitted I always want s*x with you and only you. when you said you wanted me there was nothing I wanted more.

I didn’t want to come back here to get them and have to explain to my younger brother how I messed up. Also didn’t want to pressure you into s*x without a condom. So when I said we can spend the night together I meant cuddling

I always want you as a person, I was upset mad at myself the first time you actually show me your love I had ruined it. I tried to avoid were we are now but I just got us here anyway.

Caitlyn I would ask you to marry me if I thought you would, you don’t even want to live together I would love to trap you with a kid know your all mine but then you would hate me.

How do I fix’s this Caitlyn I love you I don’t want to be without you. Just then the door swung opened it was Daniel stay away from her all you do is hurt her I encourage this thinking you would never hurt her but I was wrong.

Daniel this is between your mother and me. No Stephanie stepped in enough dad go stay in a different room or something but you can’t be hear.

Caitlyn

Hearing Stephanie talk to her dad like that broke my heart I jumped out of bed Daniel go back to bed . Stephanie you can’t talk to your dad like that. he loves you very much.

I’m thankful for your respect but it’s fine.. Stephanie looked me in the eyes does he know how your husband died. I stepped back.Enough Marcus roared the other kids crying. You did know and you continue to upset her.

She stepped closer to me Caitlyn I know your not my mum and you never want to replace her. I want you to know I consider you my mum now and even though he is my dad if he doesn’t treat you right. Then leave him she said glaring at her father.

Stephanie everything is fine go to bed look after your sisters. She went to walk out before you go who told you about my husband. Daniel she replied in a harsh tone.

Tony knock on the bedroom door Louise is putting the kids in bed then we can leave will you be ok. I would like to talk to Louise.

Marcus left the room a few moments later Louise came in. Just crossed wires she said trying to make light of the situation.

Louise we want the same things but can’t make it work what are we going to do every time we try to have serious conversation this happens.

Louise

what if you make a list of what you want and doesn’t work. Marcus can do the same then you can discuss it and see if the problems can be fixed. Caitlyn nodded ok.

I jumped up and told Marcus he grumbled, maybe it was the hormones I blurted out unless you don’t want to fix things..

Calm down he said I want this relationship just not the part of sharing with you and Tony he leant in and said I’ll try it Caitlyn I just want to stop the fighting I love you

Caitlyn had started on the wants side Marcus, house, the kids at good schools And most of all Marcus to tell me he wants me.

What doesn’t work -going between 2 locations kids school and activities Marcus not telling me he loves me Just as I finished reading Marcus came in and shut the door Marcus sat on the bed next to Caitlyn I stood next to Tony by the door. Who’s going first I said

Marcus

I want Caitlyn in my life full time I want to stop working at Bathurst and stay here full time

Caitlyn doesn’t want to live together, the fact she doesn’t believe I love her. That I’m not perfect I make mistakes not usually so big

Caitlyn

I want the kids at a good school

I want Marcus to tell me he wants me

What doesn’t work is location schools and activities 2 hours away. 2 different towns and Marcus been scared to talk to me.
