"Nothing else wounds so deeply and irreparably. Nothing else robs us of hope so much as being unloved by one we love" ― Clive Barker


Bit of language here nothing too bad


Chapter 9- Ex wives and old flames Part 1

"8:00pm" Charles mumbled into his fiancée's neck " Got some time to ourselves " he smirked peppering small kisses down her neck. Molly turned round shifting towards him

" Mm we do don't we " she kissed him gently on the lips "however we can't be too loud Sam is upstairs."

"First free night back from tour I think is a good excuse because I have missed my darling fiancée so very much " He smirked. Her hands ran under his shirt and round his neck while his arms pulled Molly as close as what seemed humanely possible into him his fingertips dipping lightly under her tank top. Just then the door opened to reveal Molly's least favourite person in the world - the ex-wife.

Rebecca let out a small gasp "Seriously you two do you have to do that while my son is sleeping upstairs please put some clothes back on both of you " she had turned a bit hot in the face looking Charles shirtless (which was understandable). They quickly put some clothes back on. " Anyway after that brief interruption" She shuddered slightly " I am here to speak to Charles about Sam"

"Oh right ok " Molly coughed awkward " I guess I will go and make a coffee or something" She got up off Charles' lap.

"Wait Mols wai-"

"Nah it's fine C I sure it will be just be boring talk about money and spending time together as a family and putting on a united front or something other random shit" She walked out before he could say another word.

"You really don't like me do you Molly" Rebecca said her tone harsh and icy

"Mmm and I wonder why would that be Rebecca?" Laying on the sarcasm in buckets "Honestly I have no idea please do enlighten me"

"Fine then if you want it to be like that then it will. Your annoyed that I got to him and in to his pants I was the one he married not you, that we had a child together so we can never completley stop talking to each other. That I will always be permanent and you could be just one stop in the road." The smile that had once been on Molly's face was now rapidly fading

"In fact I bet he hasn't even told you that why you were away on tour, he was sleeping over at my house with Sam and I and spending all the time you were on tour with us like a family"

"What" Molly's arms lent against the cold and hard work surface of the granite island "He never even mention it"

" Actually you have been back what like 3 days" Rebecca's eyes softened a bit "Take my advice don't marry him"

"But I love him "

"Yeah I guessed that but I loved him too once and look where I ended up. His love for you will never be stronger than his love for Sam, he will always love Sam unconditionally,but what about you?" Molly's eyes welled up with tears but she willed herself not to cry in front of this woman "Well then it looks like I have given you some food for thought I will be leaving" with that she left the house and only then could Molly bring herself to cry silent tears.

Tonight was going to be a long night


It didn't take Charles too long to wander into the kitchen and find her still in the same position she had been five minutes along

"Molls.. " He trailed off unable to finish the sentence when he saw her "What did she tell you?" He asked, his voice hard and stern

"Oh what did she tell me" Molly pretended to be shocked " She, Charles told me the truth that even after the three weeks of me being back you still haven't bothered even mentioning. Have any idea what that may be?" She raised her eyebrows.

His face was blank. She signed loudly "You just spent the whole time I was on tour playing little families with Sam and Rebecca." She raised her voice slightly "Which I am perfectly fine please see your child as much as you fucking want but really Charles sleeping with your ex-wife while your girlfriend, no wait your fiancée was away on tour is not fucking acceptable!"

"Molly please don't raise your voice"

Why because you are afraid Sam will hear his daddy is a lying, cheating bastard" She walked out the kitchen into the hallway.

"Molly please wait I can explain!" He followed her out into the hallway

"No I am not gonna wait I am gonna go and get some air" She grabbed her yet to be unpacked of civilian clothes. "And in fact take your fucking ring as well" She dropped the ring onto the floor.

"At 9:00 at night really" She didn't answer for a while just walked closer toward the door

"You know what I just wish I was back on tour" Molly murmured as she walked out the front door with her handbag and suitcase in hand.

Charles was left with the door wide open, Sam at the top of the stairs and her ring in his hand.

"Where Molly gone?" Sam asked in a little voice

"Just out for some air Sam. Now go back to bed" he said through gritted teeth. He just hoped she would be back because he sure had some explaining to do.
