Chapter 13
A/N: OK peeps I have made another video for this story that I think is much better. Here is the link or you can go to my profile and find both links. /OdsQOxSuIN0 . Now the aftermath of the trail. This chapter turned out a lot longer than I thought it would, and took a little longer for me to write. But I think you will love it. Please if you read leave a review.
"As I was saying, I believe you. But in our justice system, which is the greatest in the world, but is still flawed. It is not about what I believe, it is about what can be proven. With out solid proof the bite mark was made by the young Olmsted. With out any other solid proof, I have no choice but to dismiss the charges. I can tell you this, the Olmsted's will never foster another child again. I will also grant you a protection from abuse order. That way if he comes around you, or threatens you, he will go to jail. Mr. Olmsted if you violate the terms of this order, I will make sure you spend the maximum time in jail. Callie I hope that you can truly put this behind you and move forward. Again I am sorry for what I have to do. I hope you understand. With that Mr Olmsted you are free to go." The judge finishes.
Callie walks out of the court room shortly before Liam and his parents do. Stef and Lena follow closely behind her. She stops as they approach her and waits for them to speak. She knows what they will say, but knows they mean well. Before either gets to say a word Mr. Olmsted walks out and immediately heads for her.
"You little tramp, what did you expect to happen here today? You seduce my son and then try to get him charged for rape! You are nothing but a little white trash tramp." He says as he gets in her face.
What he didn't see was Brandon walking up to greet the 3 ladies. As he gets close he hears what the man says to Callie. For the first time in his life his blood is boiling. His temper is on the edge of out of control and his hands have formed fists. When he calls her 'white trash tramp', something inside of him snaps. He yanks the man around by his arm and before he knows what is happening his fist has connected to the man's jaw. The guy hits the floor in a heap.
No sooner than the man hits the floor Brandon is speared from behind by Liam. They tumble to the floor with Brandon finally getting on top. When he realizes who is under him and rage he never knew he had erupts inside of his mind. Every blow gets stronger and stronger, the rage fueling him on. He keeps chanting 'for Callie' with each blow.
Being it is a court house there were guards there. They all knew what this guy was here for. So they were taking their time breaking it up. The Judge had stepped into the hall way to see what was happening and when he realized what it was walked back into his office and closed the door to where it is cracked a little so he can see into the hall. He thought the guy deserved what he was getting but didn't want the young man doing the beating to end up in to much trouble.
Stef and Lena moved at once to try to stop Brandon from causing to much harm. But he wouldn't be stopped. It seemed the hard they tried to stop him the madder he got. He would shrug off their attempts at trying to pull him off of Liam.
As they tried one last time Callie walked in front of them. She reached out and grabbed Brandon's arm as he went to swing it one more time. As soon as she touched him he froze in place. Rage still dripping from his eyes. He slowly turns to look at Callie and she shakes her head no.
"Brandon please stop. He is not worth it." She says in nothing more than a whisper.
He looks back at the broken a bleeding person under him. He then looks back at Callie when she slowly starts kissing his bloody knuckles. With each kiss the rage subsides and the anger fades away. She gently tugs his arm and gets him to stand up and walk a little ways away with her hand on his chest. As she is doing this the older Olmsted has gotten to his feet and is approaching them again with anger in his eyes. Callie doesn't miss a beat as she smoothly turns to look the man in the eyes as she backs herself into Brandon making sure they were still in contact.
"After what just happened to your son, are you really stupid enough to try to pick a fight with him?" She asks, this stops the man in his tracks.
Stef and Lena are standing back and watching this unfold. For Stef it was the first time she had not been able to get Brandon to listen to her. It was the first time she had ever seen some one other than her Lena or Mike be able to stop him. They watch as Olmsted stops and looks at the guards as he speaks.
"Aren't you going to do something? I want him arrested! He assaulted me and my son."
"Sorry we didn't see what happened to you. But we did see you son attack this guy from behind. So just who is it we are suppose to arrest? Cause going by what we saw it would be your son." The head bailiff says.
"No he hit me in the face. My son was just defending me." Olmsted cries.
"Very well, we need all three of you to step against the wall." The bailiff says.
"All three? We were attacked. It is him that you should be arresting!"
"Now wait a damn minute here. My son was reacting to what you were calling Callie. Your lucky he got to you before I did. He was nicer than I would have been." Stef says as Lena is having to hold her back.
"Stef calm down." Lena says.
"No this jerk is not going to talk to and treat my kids that way and get away with it." Stef says
"Mom, please don't, I did this I need to suffer the consequences of my actions." Brandon says speaking for the first time as he looks at Callie then turns and faces the wall with his hands on it.
"Sir if you plan on pressing charges I am afraid we will have to arrest all three of you. The detectives will sort it all out and then will present what they find to the DA's office. At that time the DA will decide if to proceed with charges and on who." The bailiff says.
"For get it." Olmsted says as he helps his son off the floor. "You will be hearing from my attorney." he tells Stef as they stock out of the hall way.
"Son you can go now, a word of advice though. Next time don't do it in a court house." The bailiff says.
"Yes sir." Brandon says.
"Ok lets get out of here before something else happens." Lena says.
They walk into the house where the twins and Jude are waiting for them. They see the somber mood of the 4 returning home and figure it went bad. Mariana walks up to Callie and hugs her with out words. Jesus is not far behind and hugs her as well, but he also notices Brandon's hands.
"Woe what happen to your hands bro?" Jesus asks.
"Don't want to talk about it." Brandon says as he heads up the stairs.
"Ok." Jesus says looking at the moms.
"Later ok Jesus." Stef says.
"Sure." He replies.
Callie goes to follow Brandon up stairs, but stops when Lena calls her name.
"Yeah?" She asks turning around.
"We need to talk before you go up stairs." Lena says.
"Ok." Callie says nervously.
"None of that just a couple things we need to make you aware of ok." Stef says.
"Sure, ok." Callie says but still doesn't relax.
"Ok you three up stairs for now." Lena says to a chorus of sneer s.
"Yeah yeah go on up stairs." Stef says as she waits for them to disappear into their rooms. "Ok, we need to give you this."
"What is this?" Callie says taking the piece of paper Stef hands her.
"It is you protection from abuse order. If Liam comes any where near you call the police and then one of us, ok." Lena says.
"Sure." Callie says looking back toward the stairs.
"Callie what happened today wasn't your fault." Stef says.
"Yeah it was, at least a little bit was. No I don't think I am to blame as I can't control other peoples actions. But it wasn't Brandon's fault either." Callie says.
"Yeah it kind of was." Stef says.
"Stef babe, Callie what do you mean?" Lena asks, as Stef walks over to her.
"I told Brandon some stuff about my past, actually I told him everything. I showed him my scars and explained each one in detail. So he was just trying to make sure that I didn't get anymore scars is all. He was protecting me. To be honest I don't think he would have done a thing to Liam, if Liam hadn't attacked him from behind. I am also sorry he wouldn't stop for you but would me. I saw the look on both of your faces, I wish I could explain it but I can't. To be honest it freaked me out a little too. But the one thing I know for sure, is right now he is up there beating himself up for doing nothing more than protecting me. So I am sure he is doing more to himself than either of you could ever think of doing. And all I want to do right now is get up there and make him see that what he did was not a bad thing regardless of what anyone says. That he has done the sweetest thing any one has ever done for me. In all my life in the foster care system I have never had any one stand up for me like that. So if you don't have anything else for me, I would like to go thank my boyfriend." Callie says, her voice never wavering nor does she look away. Though she does grab some ice and put it in a zip lock bag.
"No go ahead." Lena says as Callie bounds up the stairs.
"WOW, where did that come from?" Stef asks.
"That my dear is the strong beautiful young woman Callie can become if she stays here." Lena says.
"Oh yeah she is staying here. I want to see just how far she can go. I think it will surprise even her." Stef says.
"I think you are right. So we are going to fight to keep her then?" Lena asks.
"With every ounce of fiber in our being." Stef pause as she wipes a tear from her eye. "She deserves to have a chance at what ever she wants to do. Some how I don't think the foster system will allow her to do that."
"I am so glad to hear you say that." Lena says.
"I know took me a little longer to get on board I was just doing it before cause you wanted it. Now I am on board so lets get this going." Stef says.
"Lets!" Lena smiles as she kisses Stef Passionately.
"Um Kids still awake. What kind of message will this send?" Stef asks.
"That we like to lead by example!" Lena says as she grabs Stef's hand and drags her up the stairs, while both are laughing.
Callie doesn't makes it to Brandon's door before Jesus stops her. She looks at him as if he had grown a second head.
"So are you going to tell me what happened today, why Brandons knuckles were all beat up and bloody?"
"Jesus I promise I will tell you all about it, but later I really need to talk to Brandon." Callie tells him.
"Ok, I am going to get me and Jude a snack." He says.
"Great." Callie says as she knocks on Brandon's door.
"Come in." Is the muffled response.
"Hey." Callie says.
"Hey."
"Here put this on your knuckles." She says handing him the ice.
"Thanks." He says wrapping the bag in a towel and placing it on his injured hand.
"Brandon, can we talk?"
"If you are here to tell me what a bad person I am, you don't have to I already know." He says.
"That's not why I am here." Callie says moving closer to him. She knows she can't rush this, she isn't sure how she knows, she just does.
"Are you here to break up with me?" He asks.
"No."
"No?" He asks.
"No."
"Ok, so why are you here?"
"Cause I wanted to thank you. And I want to tell you it isn't your fault." She says.
"It is my fault..." He starts but is stopped by Callie placing her fingers on his lips.
"The only thing that is your fault, is you doing the sweetest thing any one has ever done for me before. Stop it Brandon, stop shxking your head. You know what my life has been like. What you did was protect me. You protected me when so many others have failed. No I will not let you feel bad about this. Will this maybe cause us trouble, all I can say is maybe. But it is not your fault. Do you understand?" Callie asks.
"Callie, I did the one thing I swore I would never do around you. I got violent. Not once but twice. How can you say it isn't my fault. You have seen enough violence in your life. You don't need me doing what I did." Brandon says.
"While it is true I could have handled him, and that yes you could have handled it better, what was done needed to be done. And you will not sit here feeling sorry for yourself. You have a date to get ready for, or had you forgotten?" Callie asks.
"You still want to go on the date with me?" He asks.
"Yes I am can't wait for what is suppose to happen after the date as well. Here I got this for you." She says as she flips him a box of condoms.
"Ok, um thanks, but I think they are as much for you as me." He smiles for the first time.
"Well true they are and I will enjoy them as much as you will, but they are still for you." She says.
"Ok." He says back.
"Now I am going to go get ready for our date, I would suggest you do the same. O'clock right?" She asks.
"Yeah 7 O'clock. See you then." He says.
"Ok, don't be late." She smiles at him as she walks out of his room.
Mariana is sitting on her bed when Callie walks in and flops on the bed with a huge sigh. Mariana know that look, even though she has never experienced it her self. That was the look and sound of a girl in love and very happy. She knew the trial didn't go well, so this mood has to have something to do with Brandon and his bloody knuckles.
"What has you so happy?" She asks.
"Brandon." Callie simple says.
"Ok a little more detail here please." Mariana smiles.
"Well you know the trail didn't go well right?"
"Yeah we kind of figured that out." Mariana says with a frown.
"Yeah, I mean I didn't get the out come at the trial that I want to, you know the justice I deserved. But I got something so much better." Callie smiles.
"Ok care to share?" Mariana asks.
"Brandon punch Mr Olmsted in the face knocking him on his ass. Then Liam attacked him from behind and Brandon got on top with a little struggle, and beat the crap out of him." Callie says.
"I bet you were happy to see Liam get at least a little of what he deserved." Mariana says.
"Yeah a little, but I was scared too cause I didn't want Brandon to get into trouble. I was about to try to stop him when I heard what he was saying with each punch. He kept repeating it over and over, 'this is for Callie'." She tells her.
"Oh My God." Mariana says.
"Yeah it kind of froze me in place. I didn't start moving again until Stef and Lena couldn't get Brandon to stop. So I rushed over and grabbed his arm. I thought for sure he would throw me off to, but he didn't. He stopped and looked at me. I have to tell you, when he first looked at me it scared me. The look in his eyes was pure rage, I never thought of Brandon like that. But it only scared me for a second. In that moment a clarity hit me. He wasn't mad at me, but protecting me. The fierceness in his eyes was all about protecting me. Mariana I have never had someone do that for me ever. My heart melted. I eventually got him off of Liam. But it was the hardest thing I have ever done." Callie says.
"Wow, my big brother stepped up didn't he." Mariana says.
"In more ways than one." Callie says.
"So what is next?" Mariana asks.
"A date." Callie smiles trowing her self back on the bed with the same sigh as before.
"Oh girl you have it bad." Mariana says as they both start giggling. Yes Giggling.
Brandon was sitting in his room when a knock came at his door. He was still trying to get over what had happened at the court house. The rage inside of him had scared him. How could a girl who he had known for such a short time, have such an effect on him? Was it a good effect as his moms seem to think? Or was it something bad that he needs to get a handle on? The knock comes again.
"Come in." Brandon says.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Jude asks.
"Sure Jude come in. what did you want to talk about?" Brandon asks.
"I want to talk to you about Callie." He says.
"Ok, what's on your mind?" Brandon asks.
"Well I went to go talk to Callie just a second ago. I wanted to know how she was doing. You know she doesn't do to well when it comes to Liam. I kind of over heard her talking to Mariana. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it just kind of happened." Jude says.
"I am sure it is ok Jude. I doubt any one will get mad at you." Brandon says perplexed.
"Yeah, but it is what I heard that made me want to come and thank you." Jude says.
"Thank me for what? What did you hear?" Brandon asked now even more curious.
"What you did to Liam at the court house. I am not sure just what he did to her, but I know it hurt her badly. And I am not big enough to do anything to help her." Jude says, neither notices Callie at the door.
"Buddy you help her every day. By just being there for her. By supporting her in what she does. You are her brother and one day you will be big enough to protect her. But I hope you won't ever have too again. Jude everything in life happens for a reason. Why this bad things have happened to both you and your sister I can't explain. But I can tell you this much, what you two have been through has led you here. This will be your last stop. It has also made you both what you are today. To be honest you are both pretty amazing people. Regardless of what you have went through you both have cam out of it with your head held high and still trying to protect each other. I know me and you haven't really had much time to get to know each other, but we will change that. Maybe one day just me and you can go hang out. Maybe you can even tell me some stories about your sister." Brandon says.
"You really think we are good? I mean you like having us around?" Jude asks.
"I really do Jude. To be honest, I am not sure I can imagine my life with out your sister in it now. And since you are her brother and a big part of her life, I can't imagine you not being in my life either. But even if your sister and I wasn't together I would still want you around." Brandon says.
"Ok." Jude says with emotion in his voice.
"Hey you are here now and a part of this family. So if you need to talk or any thing else just ask ok. We are not going to let you go." Brandon says.
"Ok, I guess I should leave you alone." Jude says.
"Ok, why don't we go do something tomorrow, just me and you."
"Sure, anything you want." Jude says.
"Ok, Now get out of here little brother." Brandon says.
"Ok." Jude says as he turns for the door, he notices Callie.
"Hey, are you ok?" He asks her.
"Much better now." Callie says with tears in her eyes.
"Then why are you crying?" Jude asks.
"Cause I am in a room with two guys who really love me." She says as she hugs her brother, but her eyes never leave Brandon's.
"Ok well I am going to go Jesus said he would play catch with me once he got off the phone with Lexi." Jude says as he walks out, leaving Brandon and Callie in the room looking at each other.
"Callie..." Brandon starts.
"Shush." Callie place her fingers over his mouth. "You Mr Foster are the sweetest person I have ever met. Every time I think I can't love you any more you do something like you just did for Jude. And I fall in love with you all over again and deeper than I was before." She says as she kisses him when she stops talking.
This kiss is different than any of the others have been. For the first time neither hold back their feelings. It isn't a kiss of passion, though there is passion in it. It isn't a kiss of hormones. This is the type of kiss that come from loving someone with your complete soul. A kiss shared by people who have been in love all of their lives. Two souls become one in this kiss. When they pull back and look into each others eyes Brandon smiles at her.
"Hi." He says.
"Hi." She says back.
"Um-yeah, what was it you wanted?" Brandon asks.
"I wanted to know what I should wear tonight? Do I need to get dressed up or will blue jeans and a T-shirt be ok?" Callie says with a smile on her face.
"Blue jeans and a T-shirt will be ok." He says.
"Ok, 7 right?" She says as she backs away.
"7." He says as he watches her walk out the door.
Brandon parks the car at the marina and closes his eyes. He knows this could go either way. He had thought about taking her to a fancy restaurant and then maybe a movie. But it all seemed impersonal. That is something he didn't want their first date to be. He wanted it to be quaint and easy going with plenty of time to talk, hold hands maybe steal a few kisses. All in all a night she would remember for the rest of her life. He gets out and walks around to her side of the car and opens the door.
"Ok, so we are at the marina. Now what?" She asks.
"Come with me please." He says.
"Ok, but where to?" she asks with a smirk on her face.
"You will see." He says.
"Lead the way." She says as she grabs his hand.
Brandon leads her to a slip about half way down the dock. Parked in the slip is a small cabin cruiser designed for the open water. He walks up to it and takes the chain off of the walk way and leads her on to the boat.
"Brandon what are we doing?" She asks.
"You're going to make me tell you aren't you?" He asks.
"Well I would like to know that we won't get into trouble for being on this boat." She laughs.
"I have the key." Brandon says as he shows her a set of keys.
"Ok, this will be the last question till you decide to tell me more. Who's boat is this?" She asks with a smile on her face.
"It belongs to a friend of my moms. I called him and asked if I could borrow it for tonight. So I could try to impress this beautiful girl I had a date with." Brandon says.
"Ok, well I am all yours so impress away." She says.
Again he grabs her hand placing a kiss on the back of her hand. He leads her up the steps to the top deck.
"Wait here please." He says offering her a chair close to the steering wheel.
He rushes back down the step so fast he stumbles and crashes the rest of the way down in a heap.
"Brandon are you ok" Callie asks as she rushes to the top of the stairs.
"Yep just fine, go back and sit down I will be back up in a minute." He says as he jumps back to his feet.
"Ok." She says and walks a short distance from the steps so she could listen if he needed help.
"Damn freaking steps, ouch that freaking hurt. Wow I didn't know a shin could turn that color of purple." He mumbles under his breath as he limps to each moor rope and pulls them in releasing the boat so they could leave the marina.
At the top of the steps Callie giggles at hearing what Brandon was mumbling. She knows he is trying to make tonight special, so she goes back and sits down once she made sure he was going to be ok.
Brandon limps back up the stairs. Once he gets to the top he steels him self takes a deep breath, then walks out of door way and moves to the wheel with out any sign of a limp. He starts the boat after gong through the check list. He also checks the fuel gauge of the generator. Can't run out of gas on that or the whole night might be a bust.
He backs the boat out of the slip and proceeds out of the marina and out into the open water. Callie stands and walks up beside him so she can watch where they are going. She has a huge smile on her face as she closers her eyes so she can feel the wind. Regardless of what ever else happens tonight it has already been the best first date she has ever been on or ever would be on.
"Your smiling." Brandon says.
"I am." She says.
"Guess that means I am doing good so far." He says.
"Yeah you are doing great." She smiles then kisses his cheek.
"Good, we will be where I want us to be in about 10 minutes. If you want to go back down on the bottom deck." He says.
"If it is ok I think I will stay up here with you." She says.
"I don't mind." He smiles at her as she wraps her arms around one of his careful not to disturb him in steering the boat, she lays her head on his shoulder.
They ride the rest of the way in silence. Callie leaning against him while he steers the boat and kisses the top of her head every once in a while. He finally slows the boat to a stop and pushes a button a splash can be heard from the front of the boat.
"What was that?" Callie asks.
"The anchor, so we don't drift." Brandon says, he then goes to lead her toward the steps but had forgotten about his shin, that is till he took that first step. "Owe crap that hurts."
"Are you sure you are ok?" Callie giggles at him.
"Laughing? You are laughing at me?" He says as he grabs her and starts tickling her.
"Brandon, NO! Stop!" Callie screams through her fits of laughter.
They finally fall on to the bench seat the runs along one side of the boat laughing so hard they can barely breath. She catches her breath and looks him in the eyes before she kisses him.
"No are you really ok?" She asks.
"Yeah I will be fine. Just a bruised shin is all. Might limp the rest of our date." He tells her.
"OK well Limp away mister." She says as she pokes his chest.
"Ok come with me." He says as he takes her hand and leads her down the steps.
He takes her to a built in chair next to a table at the rear of the boat. And points to it with out a word she sets down facing the water. Brandon walks to the door of the cabin and unlocks it. He walks in to find the bags he had put there before he had gone to the court house.
He takes both boxes of food out and quickly reheats them in the microwave. Once they are hot again, he grabs a couple of Pepsi's out of the ice chest he had brought and puts some ice in glasses as he fills both of them he then puts the food on plates and all of it goes on a tray. He then carries it out to where Callie is still looking out at the water.
"I hope you don't mind. It isn't anything fancy. I ordered take out From outback. It is just a couple of steaks with potato's and corn, with Pepsi to drink." He says as he places her plate in front of her.
"Brandon this looks great. I am so hungry." She says.
"Well good lets eat then." He says.
"You planed this didn't you?" She asks.
"I did. I brought the food here and put it in the fridge before I came to the court house. I figured it would be cool to sit and talk while we eat and watch the sun set." He says.
"Sounds perfect to me. Shall we eat?" She asks.
"I think we shall." He smiles.
They spend the next hour sitting at the table eating their food and once that was done watching the sun as it sets. They move to a couch along the back of the boat and continue to talk about the future and what it holds for them. It isn't long and the kissing begins. Which leads to heavy petting. They both know they are close to going over the edge. So they pull away from each other looking into the others eyes.
"Brandon, do you want to here?" She asks.
"Do you?" He asks.
"Do you think we would get caught?" She asks.
"No, I don't think so." He says.
She doesn't speak again as she slowly pulls his shirt over his head and starts to kiss her way down his neck and across his chest. As Brandon gently lays her body down, his entire demeanor changes; he becomes thoughtful, tender, loving as if he was in awe of her. Ever so slowly he take his time undressing her body. Revealing every fine part of it to his thoughtful eyes. They were Sharing not only their bodies but also minds, hearts, and souls with each other.
Waiting for him, her entire Soul bare and exposed, Callie threw her head back in wonder as his lips and hands teased and enticed her desires into a state of euphoria she had never experienced before.
He gently kisses each breast taking time to suck and nibble on each nipple. This has the desired effect as Callie moans to what he is doing. He slowly moves down to her stomach and kisses his way around her navel. Moving his way down between her legs, he kisses sucks and licks his way all around her opening. He uses his fingers to slowly enter her moving them in and out as he licks. He must be doing it right as she is moaning and bucking her hips to his undertaking.
"Brandon I need you now." She says in a husky voice, he pulls the condom out and slips it on his dick, then positions himself over top of her.
As he enters her slowly, his actions soft and delicate. He pauses looking at her asking with his eyes if she was ok and wanted to continue. He reaches up and brushes a few loose strands of hair out of her face.
She felt a wave of emotion and passion overwhelm her. Unable to trust her voice to express how she felt in words. Feelings she felt for the man looking sensually at her find their way into her eyes. It was a look of trust and love, two things she doesn't give out freely. She nods her head.
Their gazes lock together as one, Brandon sees the look of trust and love and leans down and kisses her. In that moment, in that simple, meaningful and compassionate moment. Callie realized this was what she had been waiting and wishing for her whole life. That Brandon was quickly becoming her everything.
He pushes the entire way inside of her. The joy finds its release in a single tear. Brandon sees this and stops for a moment.
"You ok?" He tenderly asks, staring into her eyes with love and tenderness.
She answers him by Pulling him down to her and kissing him. He rest his body against hers. He had been suspended above her with his arms. With their bodies connected and pressed together tightly, she opens not only her body, but her soul up to him. Taking him in deeper and rocking her hips to meet his. Brandon looks at her again and starts to move inside of her again.
Their pace is slow and sensual, serene and graceful. Brandon fights the urge, and wins, to go fast. He wants Callie to know what making love is not what having sex is. Being together as one. Finally admitting their feelings in a physical expression, was something to be cherished. Something he wanted to linger and delay as long as possible. So Callie would enjoy every possible moment of rapture.
When he can hold it no longer, when he sees she is as close to the edge as he is, he releases, causing her to do so as she screams his name. He stays on top of her for a few moments longer, slowly coming down from the high he had just experienced.
"Wow." Brandon says.
"Are you ok?" He asks in a very tender voice looking her in the eyes and wiping away a tear from them.
She looks at him and closes her eyes. She knows he is worried that it may be to soon after the trial. She slowly calms herself down and then opens her eyes again.
"Brandon don't worry, I am fine." She tells him.
"Ok." He says as he pulls her close to him and wrapes his arms around her.
