Chapter 4:
EJ sat on the sofa holding his head and trying to make sense of what happened. There was an intruder in the same house his children were, he saw the intruder trying to rape the mother of his children, his ex-wife, his former lover he listed down, his lov... EJ stopped at the thought. He told himself he couldn't go down that road again with Samantha after everything that they put each other through.
'Daddy is mummy ok?' asked Johnny taking EJ by surprise.
'Yes my boy, mummy is ok, you can't sleep?' asked EJ.
Johnny shook his head and EJ hugged his son and lifted him up and took him to his room and as he was about to put him in his bed, Johnny stopped him.
'Can you put me down next to Sydney daddy, she was having nightmares and I promised her I would hug her all night so that she can sleep?'Johnny told him.
EJ smiled down at his son 'Sure my boy, goodnight' and he planted a kiss on Johnny's forehead and next on Sydney's. He stayed there for a while looking down with love at his children.
By now Sami was out of the shower and came out to an empty living room but soon realized that EJ was in their children's room. She went over there looking down at her family and EJ was part of it. She moved over to where he was and put her hand on EJ's shoulder. EJ looked up at her and smiled. They got out of the room together and closed the door.
EJ looked at Sami while she rubbed her arms and scratched her stomach and tried to scratch her whole body at the same time running her fingers forcefully and tears came down her cheeks.
'What's wrong Samantha?' asked EJ concerned.
'I'm feeling dirty EJ, I can't get myself cleaned up, I can still feel his his hands all over me' Sami cried.
EJ hugged her close to his heart. Actions spoke louder than words.
Sami looked up at EJ with hope in her eyes.
'EJ will you stay the night here with me? I can't bare to be alone' Sami told EJ.
EJ looked down at Sami 'Sure sweetheart no problem, I'll sleep out here on the sofa' he told her as he moved over to the sofa in the living room.
'No EJ, sleep with me in my bedroom, I can't stay there all by myself, I need you there with me holding me through the night EJ' Sami told him as she grabbed his hand.
EJ looked at Sami stunned by her request, 'Are you sure Samantha?'
'Yes EJ, please I'm begging you' asked Sami.
'Ok Samantha if that's what you wish' EJ told her.
