Eva & Her Striker (Book One Of The "And Her" Series) (Unedited)

Chapter Thirty One

We arrive in our street and see my house covered with welcome home banners and balloons...

This has me mum ALL over it I laugh shaking my head "My mum is off her head" I snort laugh

"Come on missus, let's get you inside so you can rest..." Justin says getting out the car and comes around to me to help me out. Just then Our front door open's revealing my mum, dad, Catherine, Holly, Amber, Russ, and Justin's mum and dad coming out to welcome  me home. "Hey baby girl, it's good to have you back, it's been quiet without you" Dad says hugging me gently

"Yeah, I've had joys of having easy access to the bathroom of a morning all week" Catherine teases

"Yeah? No change there then" I laugh winking at her "Missed you too witch face"

Catherine sticks her tongue out at me, smiling at me , then mum comes over taking me in her arms "Hey babe, I've made your favourite for tea" She says hugging me

I laugh "All your food is my favourite, I couldn't decide though," I say "Did you pick for me?" I ask

"Yeah, figured I'd do my Shepard's pie, followed by my apple crumble. What do you say? Sound good?" She asks with a smile

"Sounds awesome mum, Thanks!!" I say smiling as I see Holly flapping her hands in excitement.

"Where's my holly? Holly, looking at me babe!" I say, Holly looks at me excitedly

"Eva—Eva!!" Holly beams clapping

"Hey sis, I've missed you, babe. Have you been good girl, for mum and dad?" I ask, Holly doesn't respond she just flaps her hands excitedly. I kiss her on the head.

"There's my girl," Amber says next to Russ "Hey, babe!" Amber comes over to hug me "Girl, how you feeling?" She asks

"Sore, tired, hungry" I laugh wincing as pain shoots through my ribs.

My hands shoot to my ribs "Fuck" I hiss

"Right, come on baby, let's get you inside so you can rest" Justin guides me inside to the kitchen and sits me down on one of the chairs "Do you want your pain meds before you eat baby?" He asks

"Yes please babe," I tell him with a grateful smile, He kisses me briefly before going to retrieve my bags from the car with the meds in.

"Baby girl, do you want a pillow for your back?" Dad asks holding a pillow

"Please dad" I smile gratefully

"Amber—Russ, are you staying for tea too?" Mum asks holding plates in her hand "I've got plenty to go round" she beams

"Ma please, like I can say no to your food" Amber says excitedly and sits in the chair next to me "Babe, Ma Ava's food is the fuckin BOMB..." she says dragging russ down into the chair next to her

"Language, amber" mum sings and she grins sheepishly as Justin walks in with my bags.

"Here's your meds baby," He says holding my meds with a bottle of water, he sits down on the opposite side of me as he passes them to me. I take each prescribed tablet and swallow them down with my water.

"Soon as you've eaten, I'll help you upstairs so you can rest, okay?" He smiles at me

"You ready to kick some serious arse tomorrow man?" Russ asks Justin

"Russ, Language" Mum scolds him

"Sorry Mrs M" Russ replies sheepishly, Amber's laughing her arse off at Russ been told off

"I am ready though... " He tells Russ "I made a promise to my girl, and I intend on keeping that promise" he adds looking at me. I blush smiling shyly.
