The Contract

Chapter 13

She dials whoever she was talking about and put it on speaker, her hadn't still holding mine

"Hello' the girl answers

"Emma" allision whispers

"Yeah whats up" she asked

"Emma can you come see me please, or can I come see you?" She asks chewing on her lips

"Huh what? What was that" the girl laughs at something or someone in the background

"I need, mhm Emma can I come see you" she repeats

"No, I am busy right now Ally, I can't see you" what the fuck

"Please, emma I"

"I can't Allison, not everything is about you. Im bust right now. Go to your parents or oemthing" she cut the call

As the line went silent, Allison held my hand tighter closing her eyes

"Peach talk to me, whats going on?" I ask caressing her arm with my hand

"I am scared, I mhm I need mama" tears brim up her eyes threatening to fall

"Im right here Al, don't be scared. No one can harm you" I whisper to her

Her eyes lift up and look in mine, she was scared, fear was visible in her eyes

"Can I hug you or if you don't want me to hug you can you hold me, I mhm I"

"Shh it's okay, come here" I whisper opening my arms to her

her hands covered her face as she bangs against my chest, I wrap my arms around her rubbing her back gently.

"It's okay, you are fine" I coo rubbing her back

"Xan" she whispered

"yes peach"

"Is Jax around to protect me?" She asks

"No, but I am" I tell her

"You will protect me?" She asks against my chest

"I will" she nods rubbing her cheeks against my chest

"It felt like I was back somewhere I don't wanna be. I was reading but then I got cold and mhm I used your coat, I suppose I fell a sleep" she explains wrapping her arms around my back, I could feel her tiny hands gripping the back of my coat

"Was it a nightmare?" I ask as I remember my own demons

"Yeah, it was horrible. I need mama" she repeats

"Peach, mama isn't here for the time being. Tell me what you need and I will give it to you, no questions asked"

Her head lifts up as she rested her chin on my chest looking up at me

"Even if I ask for ice cream and coke to make a float" she asks

"Of course, will even throw in some chicken burgers from McDonalds knowing it was one of her favourites"

"No mhm no, I don't eat McDonalds" her voice was low and intriguing, I want to know what's going on

"How about sour gummy bears"

"Yes, and sour skittles" she asks

"Sure"

"How about some marshmallows, crackers, and chocolate"

"Of course" I add

"And some really spicy hot Cheetos" she asks

"oh now you are really pushing it Al" I tease causing her to laugh

"Haha but you said you would and I know Mr Scott can be anything but he never steps down from his words plus I'm your wife" she was trying to convince me which is hard to do because I am already convinced

"What do I get in return?" I ask

"What does hubby want?" Her eyes no longer sad, infant they held mischief

"Mhm what can my wifey offer" I play along

She rocks a bit in my arms and it felt so natural, so nice to have her in my arms. To me it did not matter that we were in my office or that she just told me she had a nightmare, or the fact that I am losing half my god dman mind wanting to kiss her

Having Allison in my arms felt like home, a home I have been craving for the past 4 years, I thought I had it all back then but it broke in pieces and to this day I am trying so hard to pick those pieces and put them back where they belong and this feels closer to it

"I can offer a lot actually" she says humming

"Let me hear the options" I say nodding as if I was really serious, I was not. I already had her candy, ice cream and pop in the fridge at home

"I can share those snacks with you" she says after thinking for a while

"Ill take that" she giggles moving back a little as she claps her hands like a little child

"Allison"

"Alexander" she mocks my tone

"Lets not get ahead of ourself ya, and how did you find the book?" I ask her

"Book, yes oh, mhm it was blah, it's not even a good novel, it's different. It is about some history thing, do not recommend and maybe that's why I fell a sleep" she says scrunching her nose at the novel

"Come on, lets go get you a pretty dress for the party tomorrow"

"Ohh yess party, dress, yup okay" she said getting up standing on the couch with her shoes on, now if anyone else did this I would have their head on a chopping board but for her, I will allow anything and thats scarry to me
