Chapter Four
Pulling up outside the large house he glanced at Damiens car on the drive next to his mothers before at the small blonde sat to his left "Best behaviour Stevie... I dont need arguments". She grinned "Corse Smithy... Im just coming to be a good friend and to help you out". He smiled "Jump out then... lets go see the mother" he locked the car and headed towards the front door with her close behind him. "Hey Mum..." he smiled as she pulled the door open and gently kissed her cheek "This is Stevie" he pulled her forward. and she smiled sweetly at the blonde older woman infront of her "Yes.. I have heard all about you" was all she said before turning and walking away. Smithy smiled slightly before leading her inside. "What have you said?" Stevie whispeared grabbing his arm and turning him back to her "I tell me mum most things Stevie... she wanted to know why I had fallen out with Damien..." she cut in "And you told her?" she asked and he nodded slightly. "I cant go now... Smithy how do you expect me to go knowing your mum is going to think I am some kind of slapper". He shrugged his shoulders "I thought I was more important... but if you want to bolt.." he gestured to the open door behind her before he turned and headed into the living room. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, she either ran out that door and as far away from the horrible situation and pray that Smithy would forgive her, which she doubted or she bit the bullet walked into that room and held her head high, after all it was Damien that had treated her badly and in her defense she had know idea at the time that Smithy had feelings for her. Pushing the door closed she turned to the room, seeing the man leant against the door frame blocking her way to Smithy, she sighed "Damien" she spoke before moving to walk past him, he laughed "I didnt hear back from you the other night" she cut in "No... I had a better offer.." he smiled "What my brother?" he asked and she glared at him "That is really none of your buisiness" he blocked the door so she couldnt move past him "You know he wont touch you now dont you?" he asked "He has only brought you cause he wanted to make you feel stupid". She sighed "Excuse me please" she spoke with all the confidence she could as she tried to move past him. "Is there a problem?" she jumped at the womans voice coming from the other end of the corridror, Stevie guessed led to the kitchen "No Mum... just vetting Dales lady friend here..." the woman cut in "From my understanding you have already done that Damien... so off you toddle" the man glared at Stevie before he turned back into the room "Im sorry..." Stevie spoke turning to face the woman. "Dont apologise Stevie... I know my sons.. I know that Damien is most probably to blame but I dont want Dale getting hurt so just remember which one of them it is you are here with". Stevie nodded slightly before following the woman into the room, she froze as she eyed Smithy talking intently to a woman in the corner, he hadnt even noticed her, infact he didnt seem to care if she was there or not.
Stevie hadnt had the chance to talk to Smithy alone yet about the woman, the woman she had now learnt to be Kayleigh, a girl friend of Damien but as she hed learnt the hard way, one of many. They had been on the train about half an hour when she saw Smithy heading towards her, she had decided to sit alone so she could concentrate on her paper work she promised Neil she would get done while she was away and it also helped her to control her increasing jealousy everytime she glanced at Smithy and Kayleigh. "You ok?" he asked, she simply nodded before turning her attention back to her paperwork. He sunk down next to her "Sorry about that.. its just been a while since I have seen Kay..." she interupted "You trying to get one over on Damien or make me jealous?" she snapped, instantly regretting her words "Neither actually..." he replied as he sunk down opposite her "We are not together Stevie... and to be honest I dont think I could be with you... the same reason I wouldnt be with her because of Damien.." he sighed as her eyes fell back to her computer. "Kay is the only one he has had round for longer than a year... fourteen years actually.. since she dumped me for him.." Stevie glanced back up and into his eyes, she could see the sadness and she suddenley felt so guilty "She was my first serious girlfriend... I really loved her.." Stevie watched him divert his eyes "She fell pregnant... and I couldnt of been happy.. I finaly thought everything in my life was building to me being a Dad and doing my best by Kay and the baby.." he glanced back up and smiled "Until she had an obortion.. I never could understand it.. we were so happy.. then she told me.. it might not be mine.." Stevie cut in "Damien?". He nodded "Apperntly they had been at it for over a year behind my back..." Stevie smiled "How long were you together?" she asked. He shrugged "I dunno... a couple of years..". Stevie moved next to him "How could you forgive them?". He shrugged his shoulders "I had to be the bigger man... my mum told me.. I had to just let it be and move on... so I did.. me and Damien got over it.. and I still talk to Kay.. I feel sorry for her... she is his real girlfriend... the one he lives with.. they have kids together now.. two little boys.." he smiled as she took hold of his hand "She knows as well as I do that he has a different bird every day but she wont give up.. she still believes she choose the right one because she loves him... more than she could ever of loved me". Stevie sighed "Im so sorry Smithy.. why didnt you tell me?" she asked. "Cause I dont want everyone knowing..." he sighed glancing down at her "He went on to bed everyone of my girlfriends that I took home to meet my family.. so I stopped". Stevie squeezed his hand "He is a waste of space Smithy..." he cut in "And yet he still got in your knickers.." seeing her face fall he sighed, raising her hand gently to his lips "Im sorry... I didnt mean that.." she cut in "Why not?" she asked "Its true". He sighed, closing his eyes and shaking his head slightly "I never really got it... what he has that I dont". Stevie shook her head "Nothing.." she was interupted by the young woman sitting down "Your brother really does my head in" she stressed before glancing over the two sat together "Im not interupting am I?" she asked a smirk covering her face "I thought you said she's not your girlfriend Dale?". Smithy pulled his hand from her and rose to his feet "She's not" he stressed before walking off, Kayleigh smiled at Stevie before rising to her feet and following him.
Arriving at the house they were staying they found Smithys nan had popped to the shops, leaving a key taped in an envelope to the front door. Once inside she couldnt believe the size of the house, with the first reception room being bigger than her whole flat. "Im taking my normal room..." Damien spoke passing the bags to Kayleigh and clicking his fingers out into the hallway towards the stairs, he turned to where Smithy stood "Why dont you take the room next door?" he laughed "You might learn how a real man does it". Pauline glared at her son "That is enough of that vile talk Damien... if your grandmother was to hear you talk like that she would wash your mouth out with soap" Damien turned and headed to the door. "Why dont you two take the top bedroom?" Pauline asked. Smithy shook his head "No Mum.. we wont be sharing a room..." he smiled before taking Stevies bag "I will put it in a room for you" he smiled before heading out and up the stairs. Stevie smiled to where Pauline had rested down "I would never intentionally hurt Dale..." Pauline smiled up at her "No... none of them ever have dear... but they always do.. I guess a woman these days would rather go for the Damiens in this world.. who cheat and lie there way into bed.. as apposed to Dale... a man who would treat a woman like a princess..." she gestured to a seat opposite hers and smiled as Stevie sunk into it "Im guessing your special though... Dale has never hit Damien over a girl... not even Kayleigh.. and they were both bossoted with her". Stevie wiped her eyes, her tears threatining to fall "I dont know how to put it right... I know now that I love Dale.. I want to be with him and only him... but I cant take back what happened with Damien". The voice interupting her made her jump from her seat "What happened with Damien?" she asked. Stevie looked at Pauline for some kind of support but the woman had just made her way to the large bar in the cornor of the room and was pouring herself a whiskey. "I swear I didnt know he had a girlfriend..." she cut in "No.. half the time he doesnt.." she noticed the two men appear behind Kayleigh and she turned to Damien "And now he doesnt... I told you.. if I found out you had cheated anymore we were finished Damien.." she stormed past him and he turned to Stevie, moving towards her and forcing her down into the chair "What the hell are you doing?" he screamed in her face, Smithy pulled him off "Leave her... whats more important?" he stressed and Damien glared at her once more before following Kayleigh up the stairs.
Twenty minutes had passed and Stevie had moved upstairs to the bedroom Smithy had told her was hers. She rested down onto the kingsized, four post bed, it was something princess had in the disney movies and she smiled, any other time she had been in a place like this she would of been pleased but she couldnt help but feel dissapointed. Hearing the voices in the corridor just outside she rose to her feet and headed out. Smithy had his back to her and him and Damien were arguing, again. "Lets be honest Damien... its about time she left you..." the man interupted him "I love her..". Smithy shook his head "You dont know the meaning of the word". Damien laughed noticing the woman behind Smithy "I guess I'll have to find another way to pass the time eh Dale?". He walked past and Stevie's eyes fell to the floor. "I want you to come and meet my Nan" Smithy spoke after a few moments. Stevie grabbed his wrist as he turned away and he sighed "What Stevie?" he asked. "It wont happen... I wont go near him..". Smithy laughed "He blames you for Kay leaving.. he cant stand you now.. but he will make it his mission to get you into bed... to punish me". He went to turn away and she smiled "Its perfect then... I can use the time to prove to you that you are the only man I want". She moved past him and headed for the stairs, she could hear him close behind her and as she walked into the room she smiled at the older lady sat in a chair in the corner. "Hi..." Stevie began, holding her hand out to lady, she shook it and smiled "You must be Dale's friend..". She nodded "Stevie". The lady nodded "Dorothy.. but you can call me Dot dear..." she gestured to a seat and Stevie sat down "Dale.. your mother is getting the shopping in from the taxi.. be a love and go and help her..". He smiled at Stevie before heading to the door, Dot grinned at the small blonde "I have been waiting a long time to see my Dale happy... he really is a lovely young man.." Stevie nodded "He is but we arent a couple". She nodded "I know... but he has special feelings for you... I can sense it in the way he looks at you... and I know my grandson..". Stevie laughed slightly "I dunno". Dot nodded a huge smile on her face "You are the one for him my darling.. I can see it.." Stevie noticed her face change dramatically and she glanced over to notice the man walking into the room "You ok Nan?" he spoke as he headed to the bar. "Fine.." she snapped "Where is them great grandsons of mine?" she asked. "At home Nan.. Mum told you we werent bringing them..." she cut in "Where is Kayleigh?" she asked and he glared at Stevie "Gone cause of her". He walked from the room and Dot smiled back to Stevie "Ignore him... you concentrate on the good one.. because that Damien has always been a bit of a shit". Stevie giggled, she just couldnt help it. Hearing the voices behind her she smiled at Smithy as he held up the 200 packet of cigerettes "These will kill you off Nan". She smiled "Well dont knock it... its the only way you will get your hand on my fortune..." she smiled back to Stevie "Has he given you the tour?" she asked and Stevie shook her head "Show your lady friend round Dale... she needs to know the place before the party tonight". Stevie smiled as he turned to the door "Come on then Moss... lets show you the sights". Stevie rose her eyebrows as they left the room "Does that include you bedroom Smithy?" she asked.
