Slower chapter but a lot of words. It's all going somewhere, I promise. Light sexual activity and so many words! ;)
Sophie woke up to light tapping on her bedroom door. She hadn't slept very well with thoughts of two very beautiful and very different girls swimming in her head. She could tell by the glare coming in through her curtains it was morning, but she still couldn't wake up just yet.
"Hey Soph. Sophie. I need you," said Kevin in a voice just above a whisper. He needed her to wake up but didn't want to shout at her, because he needed a big favor.
"Dad, is everything okay? Where's Jack?" said Sophie impulsively.
"He's fine Soph, but I need you to watch him this morning. You don't have work at Dev's do ya?"
Sophie scanned her brain remembering what day it was..Friday. But did she have to work? "Let me double check Dad, but if not, I don't mind watching him." Kevin smiled at Sophie and closed her door to let her get on with it. Sophie rubbed her eyes, sat up and stretched. She felt she could sleep for 10 more hours. And she was sore.. must be sex related. She smiled, then she frowned. "What a pickle." She then thought spending time with Jack could distract her for a bit since he was a handful. And a cute one at that.
Sophie checked her schedule and noted she had a short shift at 4pm until about 8 or so. Dev and Sunita had another twins related event to attend and promised Sophie she could have her Friday night off if she just covered for them. She put on her dressing gown and walked down the stairs. It was going to be a long day since it was only 7:30am and she was booked all day with baby Jack, lunch possibly with Ryan and then work. Maybe she could squeeze a nap in after lunch. As she reached the kitchen, she saw Jack in his carrier, her dad with his mobile being held up to his ear by his shoulder and Sally over the stove. It was almost like a ballet they were performing. Barely avoiding running into each other multiple times but still getting their tasks done in front of them. Sophie couldn't help but smile as it seemed like old times and that's all she wanted was peace in her household again. Sure her private/outside life could be in shambles but if her homelife was calm, that was a big weight off of her shoulders.
Kevin was making his lunch and Sally was making breakfast for Sophie and Kevin. Jack was barely getting into solid foods so his little oatmeal was in a separate bowl.
"Well this is cozy," said Sophie sarcastically.
"Ohh Sophie not now please, honestly," said Sally absently running up the stairs.
"Well can you help your old man or not then?" said Kevin with a mouthful of toast.
"Gross dad, and yeah, I'm all yours until 3 at the latest."
"Cheers Soph! Okay this is his breakfast, is it alright if you feed him? And there's his bag. There's extra clothes in there, extra nappies, extra dummies. He's very particular about having certain ones at certain times.. and if those things run out, there's an endless supply upstairs in his dresser…"
"Yeah dad I have baby sat before, and you're just going to be right there anyway," motioned Sophie towards the Garage.
"Actually no, I have to go drive out to tow a truck in. This guy's a big spender, and he specially asks for me, so I can't say no can I?" Asked Kevin to no one in particular as he put on his overalls and then his coat.
"Sounds awesome," said Sophie, basically saying she stopped listening and walked over to Jack to pick him up out of his carrier.
"Anyway, thanks Soph. I'll be in contact yeah? Bye Jack! Bye! Say bye bye to Da Da!" said Kevin walking to Sophie who was holding up Jack. He gave both of his children a goodbye kiss.
Sally then appeared behind Kevin and gave the situation an eye roll. She then went to Sophie to give her a kiss goodbye and said, "Good luck." Sally then stroked Jack's nearly bald head and said, "You be good for Sophie okay? Bye bye!" It was infectious. Getting a bye bye from a baby always catches on.
Sophie couldn't help but giggle as she watched her parents walking slowly and backward out the front door, waving like loons at Jack who just kind of stared at them. Just as the door closed Jack moved his arm up and down and said "Bye bye!" Sophie laughed hard at that. Kids aye?
Sophie did her best to juggle between Jack and her own needs in the early hours, finally getting the hang of it by mid morning. She got dressed while he played on her bed, she used the loo by putting him in his carrier, and handled some social media while he was sitting on a blanket surrounded by toys. He even made it to her Facebook and Instagram as the poster boy for the new generation.
She got a call from Kevin at 11:15am telling of the progress of the car and said he should be done within the hour. She also got texts from Chesney and Ryan.
From Ches B:
"Alright Soph? Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday, me n Katy were um.. busy :)"
From Ryan C:
"Heya. Still up for a quick lunch?"
Just then her phone rang. It was Erinn. Sophie couldn't help but giggle at how no one texts or calls you for hours then suddenly it's like everyone remembers you or something.
"Good morning," said Sophie with a slight smile.
"Hi.." said Erinn slightly out of breath.
Sophie heard Erinn's voice. "Oi, you alright there?"
"Mmmhmm. Yeah," said Erinn with more ragged breathing.
"Erinn…" said Sophie totally confused.
"Oh shut up Sophie," said Erinn as her breathing started getting faster and she started moaning.
Sophie figured out what was going on and felt her neck instantly start sweating. "Cum for me Erinn. Imagine me kissing your neck and flicking your nipple…"
Erinn started out making smallish moaning sounds but then got so loud Sophie had to move the phone away from her ear. Sophie who was bright red from blushing, waited until Erinn was breathing somewhat normally.
"You brat, you could've warned me! That was so hot," said Sophie picking Jack up from rolling on his back. He smiled his appreciation at Sophie and continued to sit and reach for his plastic toys.
"What fun would that have been then aye?" said Erinn. "I hated waking up to an empty bed this morning Sophie."
"Yeah I know, but it's really only been like two days since we started this.. whatever this is. I'm sure you'll survive," said Sophie lightly rubbing Jack's head.
"Oh alright Sophie, geez I was just saying that I missed you. Sorry," said Erinn.
"Boy the tables have turned haven't they," thought Sophie suddenly getting an uneasy feeling.
"No I didn't mean it like that, I'm just.. I dunno, tired I guess. Me dad woke me up to watch Jack at 7:30. I'm sorry didn't mean to come off like that," said Sophie. To say she was confused would be an understatement and yes she was enjoying this with Erinn being a little submissive, it was more games that redhead liked to play and she kind of just wanted it to be normal for once. Like how it would be with Sian… maybe. She was just guessing and didn't know for sure. Sian hadn't volunteered anything about who that guy was, she just simply said she wanted Sophie. Yeah she didn't get a chance to say anything more with Sophie doing a runner, but still. Sian was still too mysterious to be certain. She did think of how the blonde could say jump and she probably would say how high, but shook that thought out of her head immediately.
"... and work has been so stressful lately. Soph? Sophie….?" Erinn asked.
Sophie wasn't paying attention. "What? Yeah? Work. Right. It sucks…Look I have a lunch date with Ryan in about an hour or so, but until then I'm watching my brother. Maybe we can meet up later then? I work at 4 til about 8." She was not about to give up her nap time after lunch.
"Oh okay," said Erinn in a disappointed tone.
"Look babe that earlier was amazing, really. And we can replicate that all night tonight yeah? In person though this time." Sophie was looking forward to it, but didn't want it to start feeling like a chore. She would have to lay down ground rules tonight.
"Well okay then, I can wait until after you get off work I suppose. I'm glad you enjoyed my… 'performance' then. I'll text you in a bit okay?" said Erinn a bit timidly.
"Yeah sure babe, see ya later."
Soph couldn't explain it but, this was a huge turn on. Thinking of sort of dominating Erinn got her blood pumping that's for sure. She who called the shots for so long. Rejecting Sophie after luring her in, then turning around and ignoring her for days. Then Erinn "accidentally" running into her and starting the process over again. Sophie shook those thoughts from her head too. Things were different now. Her thoughts went to Sian whom she had kissed twice but who had also given mixed signals. Well to be honest it was super weird when that guy was around, and she HAD said she wanted to be with Soph. "That's not that mixed is it?" She asked herself as she picked Jack up.
"When you get older Jack, promise me you won't get into girl troubles like this okay? Or boy troubles.. whichever." Sophie smiled at Jack then got a whiff of a diaper that needed changing and ASAP. "Oh wow Jack, you sure take after your dad don't ya… and Rosie, haha." Sophie laughed to herself. She would text the boys back in a few mins but first Jack needed to be cleaned up and fast.
Sian was having a late breakfast with her father.
"Dad? Can I ask you something?" she asked after putting her dishes in the sink.
"Sure, of course," Vinnie said looking up from his phone.
"How do you know...or how DID you know what direction to take your life? I mean I know it got rough with my mom there but, how did you know what path to take to truly be happy?" Sian tried to keep things as veiled as possible. Didn't want her old man to ask too many questions back.
"What's this about? Everything okay?" asked Vinnie Powers putting his phone down. "Do you regret leaving all that behind? I mean if you ask me, you did right Sian, you would not have ended up well. Not at all. The further away you are from those people…."
"I know all that Dad," said Sian interrupting. "How did you know what to do next I meant. Okay so we've made this huge move to get away from things that were making us unhappy, now.. how does one go forward?"
Vinnie thought over his answer for a bit. Sian could hear the ticking of the clock in the kitchen. He then smiled at his only daughter. "You trust your instincts. You were always a bright child, you have great instincts Sian. Before, you were blinded by drugs and that… that boy, but look at you. You've learned a hard lesson and now you're all put together and ready to move forward. Trust yourself. In the end, you're all you've got," said Vinnie getting up and kissing Sian on the head. "See you later love."
If only her dad knew that she had not only seen "that boy" but also entertained him in his last days of freedom and even thought of manipulating him with sex to stop him from possibly harming himself even more. "Yeah great instincts dad, thanks." She made a mental note to check to see what, if anything had happened with Darren's big deal that went down and/or if he turned himself in. Sian debated texting Sophie, but didn't know what to even say. "Thanks for running off after I told you how I felt," or "Yeah you know what? Never mind, I was just joking," or even a nice "Hello." Sian shook her head and grabbed her phone anyway. Quick check of her social media sites and then maybe a tidy up of her room after. She saw Sophie's Facebook with her adorable baby brother's picture. She hovered over the like button. "Too much?" Well she did like the picture, it was sweet of Sophie's brother with a dummy in his mouth while he was smiling, she just didn't want to seem too desperate. She decided on consistency and liked it. So much pressure she felt just from a flippin' website. It only compounded when she saw a different picture of baby Jack on Instagram. "Do I like this one too?" Of course she did. "Trust your instincts." Sian decided then and there she needed to go on a run to get rid of her nervous energy. She had to do SOMEthing.
"You WOT?" exclaimed Ryan.
Sophie rolled her eyes. "Yes I know Ryan, that's all I've been getting about this, but it's different now. I am in control this time."
Kevin had come back from the garage to a napping Jack and a ready to get out of the house Sophie. The morning's babysitting session had given her a good insight into child raising and she was ready to go out and leave the house at least. Ryan and Soph sat near the wall in Roy's.
"Yeah but Sophie, what about Sian? What about all the crap Erinn has put you through? I've picked you up from the Rover's restroom floor after many drunken, hysterically crying nights way too many times to think this is okay. She almost destroyed you."
"I know all this Ryan, but this is my way of getting myself one over on her. I mean it's not right, I know but this is making me feel like it was all worthwhile. She's totally submissive to me right now, and yeah maybe it won't last and it probably won't, but it feels good and feels right and is making up for all of the hard times. Plus it's only been like two days, it's not like we are married or anything. She can see other people, and I'm sure she is actually."
"And you're okay with that…" asked Ryan cautiously.
"I would be yeah. I'm telling you it's different," said Sophie sipping on her cuppa.
"Wait… WAIT. I've figured it out!" shouted Ryan.
Sophie laughed, "Ryan keep it down please haha."
"I've got it Soph. You don't care about what Erinn is doing because a) you don't really want her you just want to get it out of your system and dominating her is something you've probably imagined after some of your worst nights with her, and b) you still want Sian."
"How do you reckon?" asked Soph scratching her head.
"You want Sian so you don't care what Erinn does. She can date and ignore you and you'd be fine yeah?"
Sophie thought, "Well yeah I suppose…but she wouldn't."
"Well no, not now because she loves games. This is a new game for her with you. Domination! It's brilliant, and um sort of hot."
"Calm it down Connor, don't get weird," said Sophie sternly. Then she thought about it. "It actually is REALLY hot."
They both laughed.
"So you're completely done with Sian then? No emotions when she comes around aye?" asked Ryan with a smirk.
"Um well.. uh…" Sophie stammered as she looked past Ryan.
"What Soph?" Ryan turned around toward the door where Soph was looking.
Sian had walked in and stood at the counter ordering a coffee. She turned to the side where Soph and Ryan were sitting and stared. Sian instantly starting blushing and blinking, and had to tear her eyes away to pay Anna. With one last glance at the friends sitting along the wall she left Roy's. Ryan looked at Sophie as Sian was walking out and could see the slight wince on the brunette's face. He stood up quickly.
"This is ridiculous Soph, I'm going to go talk to her."
Sophie grabbed his sleeve. "Oi, don't go chasing after her! Please Ryan, for me?"
"Well okay but you're making a huge mistake. Just my thoughts," said Ryan as he shook his head.
"You're probably right but they are my mistakes to make mate, alright?"
"Alright Sophie, fair enough."
Sophie's heart had not stopped pounding at the sight of Sian. She hated to say it, but Ryan, the biggest player she knew, was right about her girl troubles. "Well, first time for everything," she thought.
Sian couldn't breathe. She had to run out of and away from Roy's as fast as she could. "Is this how it's going to be now?" Sian thought as she ran to the opposite end of Coronation Street. She stopped to catch her breath. Was she always going to run from things that were difficult in her life? She didn't want to anymore. Sian was going to get to Sophie if it killed her. She had to talk to Rosie tonight, she just had to.
