The Homecoming - Episode 14

 

I turn to justice, 

"What room is he staying in?"

"Who?"

"Martin Luther King Jr."
I say sarcastically

"What?"

He replies acting dumb

I roll my eyes ," justice, swear to God, am not in the mood for playing games, what room is he in?"

"The lavender room,and Jules, I believe he is might pissed at you"

"Ya think?"

I say sarcastically again and I exit the study and make my way the lavender room which happens to be down the hallway from mine .

Not that I don't appreciate everything sage is doing for me, it's just, am not used to being taken care of.

Ever since my mother passed it has been just me as the only female in  the Maxwells house and even that didn't turn out so well,.

Mum always made me believe that I was strong enough as a lady , it's hard for me to pass control to someone else, and that is , it seems , what sage Jacobs want from me.

I enter the room and I hear water running, I sit on the bed and wait, this might be a while.

About 30 mins later he exits,seems not only Alec is a diva, he notices me but doesn't say anything.

I wait,

He waits.

I wait some more.

He waits some more.

Sigh. Seems am not going to win this game.

He walks out of view and comes back dressed and I almost swallowed my tongue, he is one fine man.

I stand from the bed when he immediately n starts prowling to me, am in deep trouble.

I try to run, he just raises an eyebrow, damn! He hates that so I stop, he gets to me and drags me to the window, he positions me my back to his chest and we stare out, his chin in my shoulder.

"Not cool you calling me out in front of everyone babe"

Well he called me babe so he must not be that angry,I begin to speak, he squezzes my arm so I stop.

"You have anything to say, you have any complaints to make, you have a needing to shout out me , you do that I the privacy of our room, you get me"

"Sage..."

He squezzes my arm again and asks

"You get me?"

"I get you sage"

"Good".

We stay like that for a while, staring out the window , so I ask.

"We good Goldy?"

He squeezes my arm again.

"Yeah babe, we good"

Jeez I love this man, I love that he is so willing to take me, any way in presented my self, I loved him,so I told him.

"I love you"

He squeezes my arm again, this time pulling my back into a hug.

"Good"

I smile, we are going to be just fine.

******

It's been a week since the incident and I am beginning to get bored out of my mind, I think it was just a fluke but sage does not think so, neither does Jake and Justin.

I have been cooped up in this house for close to 8 days and am tired.

The only respite I get is when Sandra comes over and i play matchmaker with her and Justin, it helps but not anymore, I just want to go out.

I peek around as I notice that am alone in the media room, the guys had made it a given to make sure one of them was with me at all time, seems they forgot.

I really look around, jackpot!

Am alone.

I have to go get Alec from the school, we explained the situation to his headmistress and she advised that no body guards be given to him, that he is too young for that, I understand and agreed so no guard.

We just made sure that he doesn't take the bus, I have to go directly to his school to get him now.

And since am alone, I can go get him alone, and we can stop for ice cream on the way, yay!

I make my way to my car after grabbing my car keys, I enter my camaro and drive to the gate with none of the guys stopping me, oh thank God for small miracles.

I drive to his school and park in the lot, I make my way to his class and see his teacher there.

"Oh hello Miss maxwells,"

I exchange greetings with the teacher and I ask about Alec.

"He just went out to play with some friends, he must be around somewhere, come, let me show you "

We make our way to the play ground and I see a group of kids but no Alec, I turn in a circle look for a farmiliar shock of black hair but I find none, I begin to panic.

We search everywhere but no sign of him, I am full blown panicking now, were is my baby?

The headmistress is called and she leads us to her office where she sits me down and we watch a footage of the play ground.

I am almost crying, oh my God, the screen shows play ground and I instantly make out Alec,  we watch for a little bit with no sound, and soon I see Alec raise his head like he is being called , he makes his way to the barbed wired fence, I can't see who he is talking to , the person knows to stay out of the cameras surveillance.

I see Alec wave at the person and shimmies through a broken spot in the fence and he disappears out of view.

I really start to cry now, oh God, my precious, I vaguely hear the headmistress making some calls, my phone rings and i pick blindly still crying.

"Where are you you?"

Sage's voice fills the speaker in a growl, I hiccup and I feel him tense through the phone.

"Little bird, what the hell is wrong?"

" Alec,......" I hiccup, "they took my baby sage, they took him"

I break down at that point and don't hear what he says and I came to a startling realization.

I can't find my son.
