Thank you to FrankElza who checked this over for me.
FrankElza: Thank you for the review and for checking the chapter over. Hopefully, she doesn't touch the drink for a good while.
Braxton. 54: Thank you for the review. It is good that Brax had common sense to take Olivia for the night.
Abuse.
Chapter 54.
Ricky's POV.
My head pounded when I woke the next morning, I had a dry mouth as well. Pulling myself in to a sitting position, I swung my legs over the couch and walked over to the mirror, which was above the fireplace. God, I looked a mess. My make up was smudged and my hair was a mess.
Great.
I needed a shower.
Heading in to the bathroom, I switched on the water, before stepping under.
As I walk in to the hallway, I hear the doorbell ring. I unlock the door and pull it open.
Brax is standing opposite me, arms folded, Olivia's car seat on the floor.
"Hey"
Ignoring me, Brax picks up Olivia's car seat and steps in to the flat.
"I never want to see you in the state as I did last night, " Brax said, putting Olivia's car seat down, in the living room.
I unstrap Olivia, halfway to taking her out when Brax takes her from me again. "She's your priority right?"
"Yes." I nodded, sitting down on the couch. "It's my first drink since I had her and I don't know what happened"
Brax sighs, sitting down beside me. "That's alright, but there is such a thing of knowing when to stop, "
"I know, "
"Right, I'll make you a coffee" Brax says, walking in to the kitchen. I hear him, moving about and soon he's putting a mug in front of me.
"Get that down you"
"Thanks" I say, lifting it and taking a sip.
"I'm taking Casey to the park tomorrow, if you'd like to bring Liv?" He suggests.
"I don't know"
"It'll do you both good "
"I don't know, Brax, I have homework. "
"It's your choice"
"I'll text you to let you know"
"Yep, " He leaves then and I'm left alone with Liv. I pick her up, and hold her. She gurgles against me,I plant a kiss on her forehead.
I stand up and head in to the bedroom, putting her in her cot, putting her blanket over her along with her teddy.
