Tempting The Bad Boy Chapter 147
London Stephenson I’d driven around town for 3 hours, fighting a battle with myself that I ultimately lost. I never thought I’d be back here. I’d avoided his street for months because it was too painful to drive past and see his motorbike parked in the carport, knowing he was inside, but tonight I felt relieved that it was there. I pulled my car over to the curb just past his complex, killed the engine and quickly scanned the street for any sign that he may not be in there alone. Still, there wasn’t another car anywhere on the street, and I knew visitors were not allowed to park in the allocated carport, only residents. My heart was racing so fast as I took the stairs to his apartment. I don’t know why I was in such a hurry to hurt myself all over again, but I just had to know, I had to hear it from him before I’d allow myself to believe it was true. I knocked on his heavy, wooden door and stood back. The crisp autumn night air left goosebumps on my skin. I hadn’t dressed for the d

Andy3 years along“Say grandpa, grand pa,” my dad tried to coax my daughter as he jiggled her chubby legs as she sat contentedly in my lap. “She’s not going to say grandpa before she says poppy,” Sam chimes in, trying to garner the attention away from Dad. It's the battle of the grandfathers that had been raging on ever since my daughter, London, had spoken her first word last week. Both men were wanting to be crowned the favourite with their first grandchild. I hadn't even made the cut for her limited vocabulary, which so far consisted of Mum, ball and woof, referring to our puppy, Peanut. I wasn't hurt that our dog or the toy she loves to roll to him, ranked higher than I did in her tiny world. Peanut is her best friend, they love playing together. I knew I'd make the list eventually. When London was born a year ago it changed me in ways I never expected. The relationship with my own father had long healed but I had a newfound respect for him, as a parent. The love I felt fo

ClaireWith no information on where we were going tonight, it made it harder to know how to dress. Andy had given me enough clues to know that it would be somewhere special, though, so I felt the need to get fancy.I'd bought a long, black, sparkly dress on sale a month earlier and had been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it. The spaghetti straps crisscrossed at the back, holding the dress in place without me having to worry about constantly pulling the straps up.I loosely curl my dark hair and pin back the front pieces, letting my tenth fall down my back. I spritz myself with the sweet-scented perfume that Andy got me for Christmas and step into my silver heels.Andy had chosen to wear a long-sleeved, white button-up shirt, black dress pants and a navy blue tie. He hates wearing a tie, even though he has to put one on every day for work. He was wearing it for me because he knows how sexy I think he looks when he's dressed up.His eyes go wide when he sees me coming down the

Claire7 Years LaterChanging out of my scrubs and back into my own clothing felt like a mammoth effort. I was exhausted and looking forward to just crawling into my bed and sleeping off the horrendous night shift. Brixton Regional Hospital may be smaller than the major hospital in Claremont, but that didn't stop the influx of emergencies we get every day.Normally, I'd get a chance to doze throughout the night, in between one chaotic trauma and the next, but last night was hectic. The older doctors joke that the full moon increases the crazy activity, and after last night, I was beginning to believe that this wasn't a joke at all. Especially when a guy was admitted with a knife lodged in his head.I wouldn't give up my job for anything, though. I loved the excitement of surgery to never trade it for any other job.My entire body ached, from my tired, heavy feet all the way up to my hair follicles. Every step I took felt like I was sinking deeper into quicksand. The exit appeared like

Andy"Your Honour, over the past year, I've come to know Andrew quite well. I'll admit, at first, I painted him as just another thug who would sooner or later offend again. I wrote him off, assuming he'd eventually end up in prison ." The detective's assessment of me is an unexpected punch to the gut. I knew he didn't like me when we first met, but I had no idea he thought I was destined to end up behind bars. "Then I got to know him and I soon realised that Andrew was not a book that you could judge just by scanning the cover. He proved himself extremely intellectual, driven and determined to turn his life around."Judge Shepard pauses to jot down notes after the detective has finished speaking, and I'd give anything to be able to read what she wrote."I'm curious about how you came to cross paths with Mr Stephenson? Why was a detective looking to a man who had a record?" The judge's tone is accusing, like she believes that the detective is hiding something, because why else would he

AndyDetective Layton's confidence in me winning today helped settle my nerves. He was ready to back me all the way because he believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.My parents were watching outside the courthouse, along with Veronica, Sam, Claire, Gabby and Nate. I know Ed would have been here too if he weren't on his honeymoon. My mother had insisted that I wear the suit I bought for Ed's wedding, even though it was a warm day and I was sweating like a waterfall.Claire came running up to me as Detective Leyton and I approached the courthouse steps. Her floral sundress was bright and cheery, which I hoped was a positive omen for the day. She'd been my lucky charm since we got together, helping Ed and me sort out our friendship. I know she couldn't stand beside me in the courtroom, but having her in the same room was all I needed."How are you feeling?" She asks me. We were up most of the night, texting back and forth until the early hours, so she understands where my
