Keeping the Attraction

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

"You should be quick and quiet then." I grinned, reaching down once again "think of this as a deal you need to close before your time is up. Then again-" I pulled my hand back "I'd be scared too if it was my mother."

[melbender]

I refused to speak the car drive to the house, and only grew more furious as I seen removalists packing furniture away, and then a for sale sign on the lawn. "Where is lily and Mason?" I asked walking towards a worker. "Steven..?"

[Demona]

I saw jason walking out of the house with other workers. I walked toward him "where's my daughter?"

"Oh well hello to you too steven" he shrugged "Ally. Don't worry they are okay, they just wanted some alone time to makeup for the past 5 years just let them be."

[melbender]

"Let them be? Are they safe? Or even in the same country? How long are they going to be making up for?" I asked hurling question after question. "Dammit Jason don't keep things from me."

[Demona]

"No they are on a plane right now and i honestly don't know where they are going. They didn't tell me, theh are safe and i have a security team with them not that they need it but just in case. Lily said she'll call when she gets wherever they are going"

[melbender]

I groaned frustrated "well that's just great.. Mason comes back after years of being gone and now we've lost them all for god knows how long." I walked back to the car, getting in the drivers seat and leaving Steven there with Jason.

[Demona]

I shook my head "god help us from the wrath of Ally! It's not like i told them to leave!"

"You didn't but you probably given them the need to leave" jason sighed "take my car, i'll tell emily to pick me up when i'm done"

[melbender]

"Oliver clean your room and then go into the toy room and pack the mess up.. you too Ruby, I'm sick of picking up after you both." I snapped as Steven was walking back in the house. I looked at him as I poured myself a glass of wine. "It's 5 somewhere right, I mean my daughter has just taken off because it was clear she's no longer welcome."

[Demona]

I watched the kids hurry upstairs and took the glass from her hand. Stop. She's probably on her island she's okay and safe. She'll come back"

[melbender]

"You want to hope she comes back." I murmured softly. "I have work to do. I'll be working from bed today."

[Demona]

"What kind of work?" I walked up the stairs after her "you don't have to work"

[melbender]

"I don't but I need to keep busy. I'll be reading emails and paying bills mostly." I stopped and turned "you can organise dinner tonight."

[Demona]

"Ok...so that means you don't want me to go upstairs with you?"

[melbender]

"It's 10am, dinner doesn't need to be cooked. And you can cone up here." I shrugged taking the rest of the stairs.

[Demona]

I closed our bedroom door and took off my clothes before putting on sweatpants. I sat on the bed watching her "did Noah go to work?"

[melbender]

"Yes he's at the office. He has too many meetings to just blow off today" I pointed out slipping my pyjamas on and climbing back into bed. "Are you going to go talk to him?"

[Demona]

"Why would i? Coz he's sulking? It's not my fault his girlfriend threw him out. I told him what all a girl want is her dream wedding and he wasn't ready i let it go because you asked me to. But now he has 2 kids and one on the way, what is he waiting for? I'm sure all she's waiting is him to propose"

[melbender]

I picked up my phone when it vibrated and breathed in relief, "Lily's ok. They're on the island but not coming home for awhile. I guess that's better than nothing." I looked up at Steven "I think all your sons need a lesson on how to treat a woman, maybe you can have a talk to them. Even include Oliver, and point out no girls over unless they're serious about them. This isn't a frat house, I'm sick of them making a mess and not helping out with cleaning up. I'm not their slave."

[Demona]

"Good good, what matters is she's okay. As for the boys" i bit my lip "maybe its time you let them go, they had their own appartment maybe we can send themback over there. They won't live with us forever"

[melbender]

"I let them go Steven.. and they came back." I pointed out. "They don't want their own apartment, they want someone to do everything f for them and I love having them here but they're almost 28." I groaned pushing the laptop aside and laying down in the bed. "Lily as much as you all think she's the rebel, she's the only damn one who's got her life together.. and now she's gone."

[Demona]

I sat next to her wrapping my arms around her "she's not gone, she's just taking some time off. And we can kick them out if you want? They have to find jobs anyway"

[melbender]

"We can't kick them out, this is their home and it always will be. I just want them to grow up a bit." I reached up swiping away a tear.

[Demona]

I stroked her cheeks lightly and leaned in to kiss her "i'll talk to them, just relax and get some rest"

[melbender]

"I have a meeting at 4, it may run later but I'll let you know." I yawned softly. "I also have to fly to Europe for a buyers confetence next week. I forgot to mention it."

[Demona]

"You forgot to mention it?" I got up "i'll wake you up at 2pm so you can get ready" i walked out of the door closing the door behind mw and went downstairs to find the boys.

[melbender]

"Dad" Oliver called out "can you order us lunch? We're hungry?"
