Mila

After we cleaned up and returned to the party, my heart sinks to find Jaxx outside, laughing with one of the guys in their group, a brown bottle of beer in his hand, shooting the shit. But of course it's like he senses me, and his eyes drift to me and Huxley coming out the back door and his laugh stops and his eyes fall down my body and back up, a small fucking sneer and smug fucking smirk on his face has my heart racing in anger, wanting to walk over and smack him right across the face. He turns his head back to the group as if disinterested and annoyed with my presence. Well, fuck him. I wasn't going to let him ruin the day for me. He needed to grow up, and stop being such a dick. Even though I try to forget it, all I can keep thinking about is the last time I saw him. Walking in on him, fucking leaning against the wall of the bathroom cock in his fist and head against the wall. His hand had stopped, clenched around the top, his head was bulging, glistening with precum before I was able to rip my eyes from it. He'd been big, just like Huxley. Then I think of him standing so close to me, and then rubbing himself against me, rubbing his cock where he knew a small part of me wanted it. Fucking asshole. Then cumming all over my dress. I threw the dress out after Huxley had left after taking me home. 

"You good sunshine?" Huxley asks, placing a hand on the back of my neck and I turn my head to him and force a smile and a nod. 

"If you wanna leave at anytime, just tell me." he says and I nod. 

"I'm good" i say and he smiles and then kisses me and we walk together to the other side of the house and he grabs us both a beer. 

He pulls me onto his lap again, and I force myself to focus on Huxley, on his friends and the people that are talking, smiling and laughing when I'm supposed to, even though my brain draws my eyes back across the yard. 

Jaxx is looking right at me. Another small fucking smug smirk on his lips as he lifts his beer bottle to his lips and lifts it, throwing back a sip, not taking his eyes off me. I clench my jaw and force myself to look away from him, turning my back further to him, Hucley rubs my upper back and massages my neck. I lean into him, lifting my arm around his neck and kissing him once , making him smile and then he rubs my side as he jumps back into the conversation. 

I'm looking around, trying to look everywhere but at Jaxx when I notice a woman standing off to the side of the house, my brows pinching as she just stands there. A skinny tall blonde, with black leather pants and a Metallica t shirt, thats been dropped and shows off a large bird tattoo across her midriff. I haven't seen her before, but I was also sure I hadn't met all of their friends.

She had the white type of blonde hair, and it looked like it'd been bleached one too many times, but still looked pretty with the way she had it piled on her head, she had heavy eye makeup on and a bold red lip. I see her smile, bright white teeth showing. I turn to where she's looking. At Penelope.

"Who's that?" I ask Huxley. 

"Hmm? Who?" he says sitting up and turning. Then jerks in his seat. 

"Shit." he says, nearly throwing me off his lap. 

"Fucking gotta be kidding me" he growls as I stand and look around, the people around all looking to where he's going.

"No fucking way." one murmurs. 

He shoots his eyes over to Jaxx and I do too, not sure who this woman is or why she's causing a reaction. Jaxx seems to sense his brothers gaze, it goes to Huxley, then to me, then back to Huxley, Jaxx's brows pinch. Then his eyes drift just slightly, and I swear to god....I've never seen him look more terrifying. 

If I thought he looked at me like he wanted ME to fucking disappear from this earth, it was nothing compared to the seething rage that I could sense clear across the yard. His hand grips his beer bottle. 

"Who is that Huxley?" I whisper as Jaxx fumes, and my head turns to the woman, who is now noticing the attention she's drawn. Her head turns and I watch her eyes go wide. She wipes her hands on her pants, then on her shirt. Yeah, my palms would be sweating too if I had Jaxx storming at me like he was going to chuck me off the earth. 

"Fucking Lydia." Huxley bites out and then moves to intercept his brother, placing ahand on his chest saying something. Jaxx breathing like he's about to send fire from his mouth like a fucking dragon at the woman. Lydia. Lydia. Oh. Penelope's mom. Fuck. 

I turn my head, unable to help the angry scowl on my face as I know look at the gorgeous woman, no longer finding her gorgeous, but instead, also wanting to scratchher eyes out. Not for Jaxx, but for Penelope. 

Huxley walks backward, trying to calm his brother down. I can't read his lips but I do notice one word. Penelope. This makes Jaxx stop for a second and turn to look at his daughter, who is playing. I'm assuming he's telling Jaxx to not make a scene in front of her. 

Who the hell abadons the daughter and the father of their baby, leaving him with nothing but a note and showing up FIVE years later? I wanted to charge across the yard and rip her fucking hair out. I watch as Jaxx grabs Lydia's arm and she looks up at him speaking quickly as he says nothing, but pulls her carefully away from view and around the house. I swallow. Was he going to hurt her? Shit, I wanted to, and I didnt even know her. But, I also couldnt do the damage I knew Jaxx could. 

Huxley looks around the house, watching Jaxx, and must decide it's fine to leave him be with her cause he walks back, the people at the party all trying to not be obvious with their what the fuck faces. Apparently they all knew who she was. Leif comes over. 

"Tell me this isnt fucking real" Leif says. 

Huxley groans. 

"Is he going to hurt her?" I ask and both of them look at me. 

"No." Huxley says. 

"Well...." Leif says. 

"He's never laid a hand on a woman...he wouldnt start with the mother of his daughter." Huxley snaps at his brother. 

"Im just saying..." Leif says. 

"She'd deserve it if he did." I say, surprising both of them and they blink at me. 

Huxley grabs the back of my head and kisses my forehead. "Easy sunshine. Dont need you turning into a little storm cloud" he says and I swat his hand. 

"Im serious. If I knew how to fucking lay her out...I'd do it myself." I say and huxley smirks and Leif does too.

"What?" I say angrily and cross my arms. 

"For Pen...not for Jaxx." I say. Huxley smiles. 

"Didnt say anything sunshine." he says and then looks around and Leif goes around the house, probably just to make sure that they're both right and that Jaxx isn't giving that bitch the slap she deserves. 

It seems as though everyone knows the party is over with this new development and they start to pack shit up slowly and Huxley and Leif pologize, but of course all their friends are cool and understand. The ones with kids, call their kids to them when they're ready.

I walk over to Penelope and play with her as her uncles help their friends pack their things into their cars and trucks. Giving each other pats on the back as they say their goodbyes, a few of them throwing me a wave and  goodbye before leaving the yard. 

I play in the yard with Penelope, pushing her on the small swing set, playing tag, and then sitting in the little sandbox. I'm not even sure where Huxley and Leif are, but I hear yelling inside of the house and make sure I talk loudly while playing with Penelope so she doesnt hear it. She doesnt seem to, and is giggling away, and I keep looking to the house, the voices calming, and building up over and over. If I had to guess, there were three very angry men in that house, yelling at the blonde bitch. It's not getting dark yet, but it is getting cold, and I know not to bring Penelope into the house, not with her uncles and father in there yelling at a woman. She didnt need to see them that angry. 

"Is cold Mila" she says with little goosebumps on her arms. 

"Cmere" I say and pull her into my lap and rub her little arms and wrap mine around her.

"I want my blankey" she whines. 

"Umm...in a minute okay?" I say and she whimpers. 

"I want Daddy." she whines. And I know it's because she thinks I dont want to give her a blankey, and she knows Jaxx will give her whatever she wants. But that's not it, but she doesnt know that. 

"I want Daddy!" she wiggles and I let her go. 

"Okay...just....just a minute okay." I say. "Sit here, I'll go get him." 

I walk to the back door, smiling back at Mila. 

"Stay there princess" I say and she pouts, but listens. I knock on the door. Not wanting to open it or go inside and leave Penelope alone in the yard. 

Three angry sets of eyes and a set of bawling female eyes look to the door and I swallow, Huxley and Leif's gazes soften. I lift a hand to my mouth, a finger over my lips and then open the door, to heavy breathing and the soft crying of Lydia. 

"Um." I say looking back to the yard.

"It's getting cold out..and Penelope wants you." I say to Jaxx, his gaze softening. 

"You." he says to Lydia. "Get the fuck out. I dont want you fucking in this house with her." 

"Jaxx, baby, please" she cries and I flinch at how easily she can call a man she left to be a single father 'baby'. 

"Get the fuck out Lydia." Leif says. 

"She's my daughter!" Lydia cries. 

Jaxx whips his head to her. 

"WAS. WAS your fucking daughter till you left her in a fucking crib crying all by her fucking self till I got home and found her. WAS your daughter till you fucking left her to go fucking party instead of being her fucking mother" Jaxx says. 

"You didnt want her...and she doesnt need you now...or ever....get the fuck out" Jaxx seethes and Lydia cries. 

"Baby, please!" Lydia cries and fucking falls into him, I look back at Penelope who is sifting through sand and then back to her mother as she sobs into Jaxx's chest, as he just stands there. 

"Lydia. You need to leave." he says rather clamly, but his jaw shows me just how much he's fighting yelling at her again. 

"I made a mistake! You cant say you've never made a mistake! give me a chance! I miss you! I want my family back" she sobs and I watch as her arms slip around Jaxx, and I just blink. Watching it. Watching him swallow hard. Watching as Huxley and Leif look on with something close to worry and anger mixed as one. 

"Jaxx." Huxley says with a shake of his head. 

"Go upstairs Lydia." Jaxx says and she pulls back, and I just blink. 

"And we can talk?" she says, rubbing her hands on his chest. 

"Whatever." he says. "Just go upstairs." 

Lydia nods, she looks to me and I'm just standing there, hand still on the door, looking dumbly at the sight of Jaxx just giving in so easily. Letting HER stay. HER. The woman who didnt want him or Penelope....he was letting HER stay? He could stomach HER being around? But not me? When I was harmless? HER? SHE wasnt a problem but I was? 

Lydia moves around him and goes upstairs. 

"Jaxx" Leif says. But Jaxx doesnt say a fucking thing and he walks towards me, and I step out of the way as he walks outside to Penelope. 

I look back at Huxley and Leif. 

I had no right to, but I was pretty sure I was feeling the same way Huxley and Leif were. I could tell by their faces, that they were not happy. And not just by the fact Lydia had come back, but because Jaxx was letting her stay. Maybe not long, but he hadnt sent her away. 

"I swear to god." Leif says and slaps the fucking wall angrily and then bites his fist. 

"He wont go back to her." Huxley says. "He fucking CANT go back to her...he wouldnt...not after what she did to Penelope." he says to Leif and I turn as Jaxx walks back in, smiling at Penelope, talking to her, I watch the others drop their anger and smile , tossing Jaxx a look as he just ignroes them and carries his daughter upstairs. 

We listen as he takes Penelope to her room. Five minutes later we hear his feet walking to his bedroom, and then two sets of feet coming back downstairs. 

"Outback." Jaxx says to Lydia who has wiped her streams of black tears away and walks out back with Jaxx. 

I look at Huxley, whose nostrils are flaring. 

"Fuck, I need a fucking drink" he says.
