Baby Can I Hold You

He was wearing the suit again Kelly couldn't believe her luck, he never had to go to work two days in a row. Being the boss meant he could pick and choice when he wanted to work.



'And I'll be right home after that.' Kelly realised she was day dreaming instead of listening to Paul, she nodded anyway agreeing with whatever he said. Paul moved closer to Kelly causing her to move back, he noticed and pulled her back against him. His breath on her face as he looked her in the eye.'I want her gone Kelly......have her gone before I get back, I don't care what you tell her just get rid of her. OK?' Kelly nodded again, she knew not to speak to him when he was like this. Letting go of her arm she winced feeling the blood bump back into it, he left shouting a love you to her as he closed the door. Kelly stood by the kitchen table looking at his empty plate, she knew Carrie had to leave today she knew if he came home and she was here he would go mad at the both of them. She also knew if she didn't go with her the blonde wouldn't leave either.



'Is he serious?' Kelly looked up seeing Carrie leaning against the door frame.



' about what?' Kelly busied herself with washing the dirty dishes.



'The I love you before he left' Kelly shrugged.



'Guess he does in his own way' Carrie walked behind Kelly wrapping her arms around her waist and resting her head on Kelly's shoulder.



'I don't like his way' Carrie left small soft kisses around Kelly's neck.



' I don't either......He wants you gone today' Kelly waited for Carrie to explode but it didn't happen.



' I heard ......I was listening' Kelly lay her head back against Carrie's chest, enjoying the feelings the blonde was giving her right now.



'Very sneaky'



' I'm not sneaky...... I just don't want him near you now' Carrie let out a sigh. ' I know your his wife and I know you have this history together, a kid together but I cant accept that. In my heart your mine not his, Elle's mine not his he has no right at all to be anywhere never you.' Carrie fell silent she knew she was crazy to be so possessive with Kelly but she couldn't help it, it's what she felt inside.



'what you doing?' Carrie turned to see Elle at her feet looking up at her.



'And you call me sneaky.' Carrie asked Kelly. ' I was giving mommy a cuddle.'



'oh.....Like last night?' Kelly laughed at her daughters noisy nature, she really was her mothers daughter at times.



'Yeah like last night.......You OK with me give your mommy a cuddle?' Carrie bent down so she was face to face with the young child. Elle scrunched up her nose putting on her best thinking face before she answered.



'I think it's OK... mommy seems to like it.' Carrie smiled up at Kelly who again turned all kinds of red. Elle skipped off towards the door stopping to look at Kelly and Carrie. ' You can even kiss her if you want.....I know she would like that too.' Elle left the kitchen leaving both woman speak less.



The morning past slowly, all three of them spent some time silently doing their own thing, Kelly needed to think. She had about four hours before Paul got home, she could either stay and face Paul again which meant Carrie would be staying too, or she could leave, leave everything behind and follow Carrie. She knew what Carrie wanted but she didn't know how Elle would react. She didn't want to upset the child any more than she already had been. Deciding it would be best to ask Elle what she wanted she made her way to Elle's bedroom. The place was like a bomb site, clothes and toys everywhere, She looked to the walk in wardrobe to find Elle sitting on the floor putting toy after toy into a large bag.



'And what's going on here?' Elle looked up smiling, God she's both so cute thought Kelly.



'Getting the bears ready.' Elle smiled putting another bear into the bag.



'For what sweetie?' Kelly sat beside the young child holding open the bag for her.



' I know I cant take everything but I cant leave my bears...they might cry if I'm not here'



'Where are you going Elle?' Kelly held onto her daughters hands making her focus.



'With Carrie to her secret place......away from daddy......she said last night we could.......can we still go?' Elle looked at her mother with so much hope.



' You want to go baby?.... you want to leave?' Elle nodded going back to packing her bag. Kelly kissed her head softly before getting up to find Carrie. She found her right away, in Paul's office trying to break open a locked drawer.



' Carrie?' Carrie jumped dropping the knife she was holding.



' Damn Kelly you scared the hell out of me.'



'Sorry' Kelly whispered softly. Carrie silently cured herself for being so short with her.



' Hey it's OK.......I'm just doing something I shouldn't be..... makes a person jumpy you know.' Carrie wiggled her finger asking Kelly to come to her. Kelly did as she was asked letting Carrie slide her arms around her waist.



' what are you doing In here anyway?' Carrie let go of Kelly going back to the drawer.



' It's the only locked drawer here..... they have to be in here... I've looked everywhere else.' Kelly pulled a face asking Carrie for more information than that. ' You and Elle's birth certificates.... we need them. Everything else we can get when we leave. Let him keep the money I've got enough for us. ' Carrie stopped talking seeing that Kelly was beginning to cry. 'Kelly?'



' I'm sorry I am.......I just realised that this is happening....I'm really leaving him.' Carrie pulled Kelly back into her arms, letting her cry into her shoulder. ' and I know he's been an animal to me through our whole marriage and I know now Elle wants to leave.....she's in there packing her bears.' Carrie smiled, she knew the young child would be happy to leave. ' I'm just worried about him......I'm worried about him being alone..... he hates being alone.' Carrie pulled back looking into Kelly's eyes.



'He deserves to be alone' Kelly pulled herself away from Carrie sitting herself on the desk. ' OK you don't want to leave him alone....... but you cant stay.........If you stay here I'll be alone........and I hate being alone more.' Carrie gave Kelly a little pout causing her to laugh. Kelly jumped off the table pulling Carrie into her.



' Well guess we're leaving then..... I don't want you being lonely.' Small hands clapping from the door caused them to turn around.



' Damn Kelly we need to get that kid a bell or something' Kelly Laughed watching Elle jumping up and down clapping her bag full of teddy bears at her feet.



Kelly knew she was doing the right thing now, she had to leave Paul if she didn't she knew she would be dead within the year. His beating had gotten so much worse over the past few months She knew they would get worse still if she stayed. She watched Carrie pack everything into the car, Elle had been sitting in her car seat for the past half hour, wanting their road trip to start as soon as possible.



' So every things set' Carrie walked up beside Kelly. ' All we need is your cute butt in the car and we can get going.'



' listen can you take Elle for half an hour.... take her to the park or something.....when you get back I'll be ready.' Carrie nodded .



' What will you do while we're gone?' Kelly sighed taking a step towards Carrie.



' I want to write him a letter......I'm sure he'll know why I've left but I want to say a few things I've never gotten to say to his face....... It wont take long'



' Promise?' Kelly nodded. 'OK but as a PS tell him I said he was a spineless idiot' Kelly laughed pushing Carrie towards the car. She watched as she backed out the drive, Elle waving from the back seat. Before Carrie set off down the road she blew a kiss to Kelly, she caught it blowing one back.
