Chapter 28

The ladies were already inside the restaurant when the guys arrived. Al got up and walked towards them.

I don’t want to scare Mel but I think we were followed here she says.

How sure are you Al? Ethan asked with a very serious face.

The car moved out of the parking lot of the shopping centre and it followed us all the way here she says.

That’s a good five blocks that you drove and not in a straight line so I think I agree with you that you were followed Dylan says. You were brave for not panicking sweetheart Dylan says again.

Yes Al, well done for checking your surroundings Ethan says and they walked into the restaurant.

They sat at the table and didn’t speak about their suspicions at all. The meal was great and the company as well.

So tomorrow is Sunday does anyone have any plans? Dave ask.

We free daddy Al says, speaking of herself and Dylan.

We also available right love? Ethan ask.

Yes we are sweetheart Mel replies with a smile.

I would like us to have a nice big barbeque at the house. We can start at ten in the morning Dave suggested and everyone was happy with the plans.

Baby we skipped our practise this morning but we need to make up for that time Ethan says without looking at her.

Yes love Mel replied softly.

Why don’t the two of you practise later at your place Ethan then her next lesson won’t be too tough besides you need the training my child Dave says looking at Mel.

Yes dad she says and they ate in silence.

Dylan started speaking after a while.

I got some feedback regarding your matter Mel. George was summonsed and he might be very unhappy because of that, Dylan says.

So that makes sense. That’s the reason why he send me a message on my phone Mel says.

What did the message say love? Ethan ask.

Mel looked at the kids and the adults got the picture. She doesn’t want to speak about this in front of them.

Let’s just say he wants to eliminate you then me she says. Trying to speak in codes in front of the kids.

What Dave ask.

This man is full of himself he says clearly very upset.

We have some guards that’s watching the house and the kids have a driver that’s well trained Mr Dave Ethan says.

That’s good Dave says with a smile. I am really happy that my daughters are safe with you guys around.

They left the restaurant and got into Ethan’s van and Al’s car. Ethan dropped everyone off and Mel planned to take the kids with her to Ethan.

But mommy we rather want to stay with grandma and grandpa at home. We love daddy’s house but we want to play with grandma and grandpa.

Mel you go my child maybe it’s also not such a good idea for them to see you train Dave says. This training becomes very hard core and it might traumatize them.

Yes dad Mel says and left with Ethan.

Mel we need to practise harder baby. It’s really difficult see that I need to be hard on you but it might save your life.

I understand baby it’s just that I’m upset because he doesn’t want to leave me alone she says and looked out by the window.

Ethan didn’t say much but kept her hand for the rest of the trip to his house. Mel had her own clothes this time and was ready to work hard.

Ethan was standing in front of her without a shirt on and she found it difficult to stay focussed.

Mel you not focusing he says and started all over again.

It becomes difficult to focus if your man stands half naked in front of you and he looks this good she’s says but Ethan wasn’t smiling at all.

Okay if this is the way you want to think then fine Melissa, Ethan says clearly very upset. You think it’s a joke if that man gets you and hurt you? what about me and the kids Mel. The things I taught you was basic but it’s the things that can free you from him if he gets to you he says.

He went back into the house while she was still standing there to go and put a shirt on. Mel looked at him after he returned and it was like she was looking at a stranger. He didn’t speak to her at all instead he started pushing her around.

Hey what are you doing? she asked.

He didn’t stop and pushed her some more. This was the time when she realised that he was not going to stop unless he gets some reaction from her.

Mel pushed back and when he came back to touch her again she punched him in the face.

Baby I’m sorry, I’m sorry love she says and went closer to him.

He looked at her hugging him and he starting laughing.

My girlfriend really punched me in the face Ethan says.

I didn’t mean to love she says again and then he broke the hug.

My love you should never apologise when someone pushes you around and you react the way you did he says.

She hugged him again and then got on her toes to kiss him. He kissed her back but then stopped before things could go any further.

Let’s practice some more baby he says and showed her some moved.

Mel’s body was hurting but she knew she had to push through.

They practised a full two hours before he let her rest.

You need to get into a hot tub of water or under the shower to relax your muscles he says and carried her all the way to the bathroom.

Baby aren’t you taking a bath with me she asked?

No love not tonight. I will take a quick shower in the other room and then we can have something to eat and watch a movie he says and turned around to walk away.

Baby are you upset with me? she asks.

No why should I be? He replies with a smile.

Because I punched you and now you don’t want to touch me she says.

Love I never said that I don’t want to touch you, I simply want you to reply in the bath because your muscles are going to hurt tomorrow if you don’t relax it in hot water he replies.

He walked up to her and gave her a sweet kiss and then made sure she got into the tub and relaxed her body.

Ethan asked the maid to cook them a meal and he went for his hot shower in the other room.

They watched a movie after supper and Mel fell asleep on the couch. Her body was totally drained after the hard exercise but he couldn’t get the picture out of his mind of George throwing her into a car. She must understand that he only wants her to be safe that’s all.
