Chapter 43

“Why don’t you go change quickly and I’ll see Richie out. He is about to leave.”

“Will you come and see me ride tomorrow?”

Richie flicked an eyebrow towards Megan.

“Show jumping.”

Richie knelt down.

“Oh, I have a few meetings but if you tell me what time it is, Ill see if I can make it, ok sport?”

“Its really not necessary, Richie…”

“I want to. Me and your mommy is going out tonight for dinner so I’ll get the time from her and I’ll try my best to come and see you.”

Jaden’s face lit up.

“Ok, bye see you tomorrow then!”  he ran towards his room.

“Jaden! He said…”

“I’ll make it.”

“So I’ll be here at seven tonight.”

She ran after Richie to try and keep up with his huge strides.

“We didn’t..”

“We have something to talk about, Megan. Don’t you think?”

“No.”

He flipped his phone open, pressed the phone button and put it against his ear.

“Who are you calling? Fuck, Richie! Ok, ok.”

“Oh sorry bro’ I pressed the wrong button…my fuck up.”

He snapped the phone shut.

“I’m not going to start this here. But I cannot believe you kept Jon’s son from him. That’s just plain fucking cruel. If it was me, I would so hate you right now.”

She watched as he slammed the door of his car, roaring it to life and disappearing around the corner.

She took a shaky breath. She should have come here with her own car. Richie was so pissed with her right now, she couldn’t even imagine Jon’s reaction, or she could she just didn’t want to.

Would Richie keep it a secret?

Oh please God. I can’t lose my boy! She had been fighting for him when he was just a tiny heartbeat inside her, she wasn’t about to lose him to Jon.
