Jase Fields, J. (best time to read books TXT) 📖

I totally forgot to tell you.”

“Good, you and I need to talk Cyrus, you have a few minutes?”

“Yeah, let’s go,” Cyrus motioned down the hall.

“No man we need to take a walk.”

I told Cyrus everything I knew and he flat ass refused.

“I have more to think about then just myself here, and so do you.”

“I ain’t got shit anymore, Sandy came in and fucked my life hard. I want no fucking responsibility. I’m over the moon happy for you Jase but there ain’t shit tying me down ever again.”

He stood and walked to the water and cursed it for a good fifteen minutes before he turned around and looked at me, “What the fuck do you think you’re…”

“There is no me Cyrus, it’s both of us or nothing at all. Forever Steel bro.”

Cyrus growled and walked towards me and gave me a hug and pounded my back once, “For Mom and Little Bell bro, Forever Steel. Now tell me what the fuck the plan is.”

After I finally got Bella to sleep, I decided to call Carly, she was going to be fucking pissed and I couldn’t blame her.

“Hello?”

“Hey Baby, how are you?” I tried to play it cool.

“Are you serious right now? How am I?” Yeah, she was fucking pissed.

“Fine you’re pissed, I get it. Look, I have a lot of shit going on and will not be able to get in early to Denver. I am going to hit court and jet back here. You alright with just waiting until March?”

I waited for a reply and then looked at the phone, she had hung up.

-Baby come on, we need to talk…Jase

- No we don’t…C

-Baby, please. I know I’ve been an ass. I just want to explain a few things…Jase

- So do I. I hate you! You’re mean! You suck! I don’t ever want to talk to you again! And yes I am acting like a sixteen year old girl and that’s YOUR FAULT, leave me alone!...C

-You don’t hate me-- I was mean. So do you, (that’s supposed to be funny). You will talk to me again, maybe not for a while, but you will or I will stalk you like a sixteen year old boy, which will be your fault because I can’t leave you alone. I love you, baby…Jase.

I read over my message and smiled knowing it would make her laugh and sent it. After fifteen minutes she still had not replied.

-I’ll wait to hear from you, give you time to cool down. Don’t try to run to Brad cause I will fucking ruin him!...Jase

-GROW UP! YOU’RE A FATHER!...C

-Yeah and one day your fine little ass will be calling me Daddy, too…Jase

I couldn’t believe I sent that, what the fuck was I thinking? I waited for ten minutes.

-Goodnight Baby, falling asleep, already having fallen for you…Jase

-Fuck off!...Carly.

I smiled, she would regret that too.

I sent Abe a text with information that was to be deleted as soon as he read it. I trusted this man with my life, and I knew he felt the same.

-Are you out of your fucking mind?…Abe

-That’s debatable, you in….Jase

-Fuck yeah, name the time and the place…Abe

I smiled and sat back and texted him.

-Will send info tomorrow, glad to have you on board…Jase

I showered and picked my Little Bell up and hugged her tightly. This is going to change everything for all of us, she smiled in her sleep and I knew that nothing would ever stop me now.

I dropped Bella off at school and went to the shop. Cyrus was going to talk to Mom when he and I parted ways yesterday and then met me.

I walked in and she was pacing, “You will not do this Jase! Your father…”

“Gave everything he and you had to try to get my daughter back for me. I am going to hear what they have to say, Momma…”

“Don’t you Momma me,” she started crying and I hugged her. “They will suck the life out of you Jase, all of you.”

“You didn’t raise a bunch of idiots Mom. I have Bella back, we all have Bella back. Charlotte is dying and we have taken that on. I will not make any decisions until we have talked.”

“Your classes, Jase,” Mom cried, “You’re almost finished!”

“I’ve already talked to my mentor and Professors. I’m taking my midterms tonight…”

“Carly, you are to meet her…”

“No, I cancelled. Momma, I have everything in order. Come with us, you loved her.”

“But she didn’t fight for me!”

“She stood by your father, that’s what she was taught,” I hated seeing my mother cry and hurt and struggling, but that is why it had to happen.

“Your brothers…”

“Forever Steel Momma. They will stay and run the shop, we won’t be gone long…”

“Bella?”

“She can come, or Pam’s mother has offered many times to watch over both her and Charlotte if we needed her too.”

“It’s too much.”

Okay this could go on for days, “I won’t argue, you are either in, or out.”

She scowled at me, “I won’t have you go alone.”

I smiled and she smacked me and then cursed in Italian and disappeared into the back.

Cyrus walked out of his room and laughed, “How did that go?”

“As expected, and Abe is coming with us.”

“No shit?” Cyrus smiled.

“None.”

I sat in bed holding the sleepy Little Bell, again having to explain why I was gone for five days, “I now own you Little Bell,” I laughed and smiled at her.

“So I will live here forever?”

“Yeah,” I pulled the dark strand of hair off her cheek and kissed it.

“Daddy, people don’t own people?” she was asking a question.

“No, I have custody of you,” damn she was smart and tired. “Alright, lights out.”

“You're not leaving again?”

“No, not for a while. Next time I go you come too,” the few times I talked to her while in Prato, she was upset, it broke my heart that she even questioned if I was coming back, I would not ever again leave her for that long.

When Bella fell asleep I looked at the clock, Abe and my brothers
