The Girl. (25 page)

Their boys that night had done the forbidden word in separate rooms and one to one having
sexual intercourse.
Saul was with Dana and Shane with her mom Jolene, far from what Brenda had thought.

A few minutes later, Seth very quietly comes out of his bedroom and tip toed down the hall.
Sneaking, reached Ella’s door, tapped softly the door opened and Ella stood there in tears that
flowed heavily looking at him frown.
“Please come in”, Seth went in, as she shut her door.

He stood there hanging his head of long curls, as she cried out, “Oh why Seth”.

 

Wrapping his arms around her and holding tight, as she cries out, “God it hurts real bad Seth”.
Holding her tighter with all his might, “I just found out your brother has cheated from day one”.

Playing with his long dark locks of hair and Seth just held Ella tight silently, she said, “I don’t
even care no more just about this child”.
Seth just listened, as she sobbed saying, “I feel that’s what made Saul’s feelings change”.

Now Ella twirled his curls between her fingers and Seth said, “Yeah Saul does not seem ready to
be a daddy huh?”
“Far from, he’s not settled”.

“Saul’s sure not done playing the field”, and Ella wiped tears saying, “No he’s not”.
Standing embracing, “You are my best friend Seth Wiley, honest”.

He gives a small smile she added, “Me and Saul never had deep talks like you and me, guess
we are so close in age huh?”
“Nah, I am just far different than Saul”.

“Yes, it appears to be”.

 

“Aw, I don’t believe in playing the field Ella, it’s not me”.

“You definitely could too, you’re very pretty for a boy”.
“Love between two people is supposed to be undying for the other not with every other”, added
Seth.
“You have such a kind heart Seth”.
“Certainly a true one for the girl that holds it”, as his heart raced holding her tightly, she was
wrapping his curls around her fingers. “A lucky girl she will be from such a loyal fellow”.
“Ella, you are my best friend, very important to my daughter Sammy that loves you”.

Smiling in his strong arms that held her tight, she said, “I love her like my own, I’ve become
attached”.

In tears now, he said, “Thanks for your devoted heart to my child”.
“Thank you for being my friend Seth, such a good one”.
“Forever Ella”, as tears rolled down her face, staring at each other.

Putting her hand against her back she said, “Oh, I have to sit down a minute my growing belly
weighs me down”. Let her out from his arms and said, “Well I better head back”.

Sitting on the bed hanging her head, as tears fell hitting the floor.
“Please don’t go Seth, because I feel so alone, I honestly need you”.
“I am very sorry Ella, how my brother hurt you”.

She put her hands by her face sobbing, walking over by the bed Seth sat down grabs hold of her
hand and said, “Aw don’t cry Ella, I won’t hurt you”, staring at him in tears, Ella said,
“I know”, as he wipes tears away, hearts race.
“Ella?” Stares, Seth said, “I am totally in love with you”, as she placed her hand against his face
added, “I will have to go my whole life without the only girl that will ever hold my heart”
Quivering, softly brushing her fingers against his face, Seth stood up quickly in tears rolling
walking over to the door, “Seth, wait, please”.

Gripped the doorknob hanging his head with his heart ready to jump out and sobbing she said,
“Seth lock my door”.

Breathing heavy, Seth locked the door, turned around and Ella quietly said, “Please hold me in
your arms all night!”
At once, Seth rushed back to Ella, placing both hands against her face, as she stared at him, he
replied, “I sure will”.
Thirty minutes later under the covers, Seth held Ella tightly and asked, “How do you feel Ella?”
That placed her hand softly against his face and said, “Loved!” He smiles.
A few hours later, Ella fell asleep wrapped in Seth’s arms and he kissed the top of her head then
gently lay her back onto the bed, he leans his elbow on the bed staring at her with his heart
pounding, “Aw it breaks my heart that you’ll never be mine”.

Morning comes and Ella turns over in bed, eyes become big, she gasps looking at a red rose on
the pillow next to her and said, “The boy remembers!”
A few weeks go by, the Wiley family got a subpoena to appear in court over Samantha Faye
Wiley.

One day later, Shane’s big subpoena also come in and Brenda pulled her candles back out, as she
knelt crying, “Please help our family lord”, and prayed for some time.
Paul Gene was in the living room sitting on the brown recliner talking to his brother on the
phone, three of the Wiley boys were home and another was not as usual lately.

Ella was in her room and filling up a dresser drawer of baby things, she had recently bought.
Smiled looking at the tiny little green sleeper and there was a pile of receiving blankets, as she
had sure started stocking up.

The whole drawer, becomes filled while Ella sorted through the fresh laundry basket, as she
washed everything.

 

Another few days pass.

 

Chapter 19.

It was court time for the custody battle first and in the kitchen, Brenda fussing with her belt
yelled, “Come on Seth, your gonna make us late”.
In his room and Ella had snuck in they were hugging when quietly she said, “It will work out
Seth”.
“Aw I hope”, stares at her staring back she said, “Your hair cut looks nice.”
Putting his fingers through his much shorter curls he replied, “I hate it”.
“No, you look very handsome”.
He winked then said, “You better go before someone catches us”.
She hung her head and replied, “Yeah”. Frowns.
Gently, Seth lifted her head back up and said, “Don’t get sad girl, because you’ll never lose me or
ever have to worry”.
Tears he added, “I will always be there for only you!”
“Oh Seth that’s so sweet”.
“No it’s just how I feel for you girl”.
“I feel the same for you boy”, they both smile and remembered their friendship.

At that moment, she hugged him very tightly and whispered in his ear, “You proved to me you’re
the nicest boy ever”, he held her.

Hearts beat fast and Ella said, “Kiss me boy?” That placed his hands against her face she
stares when he slants his face forward, softly brushing up against her cheek whispers, “I love you
girl!”

Softly lips connect for the first time, as hearts are pounding, Ella wraps her arms around his
neck with his hands placed against her face, sharing an incredible kiss, as tongues circle slowly
and very deep.

Brenda shouted, “SETH BOY NOW!” Lips part and hated too staring endlessly Ella said,
“You made me so wet”.
Licking his lips, Seth straight-faced asked, “May I feel?” “Yes touch me boy?” Sliding one hand
slowly down Ella’s pants both staring expressionless.

Brenda yells, “Where the heck are you Seth?” Removing his hand smiling, as Ella was breathless
he said, “You were right”, and winks, she giggled hurrying out of Seth’s room, he finished getting
ready then walked through the house going in the kitchen where everyone was dressed up and
no jeans or flannels.

They all had on dress clothes like going to church or a special event.
Paul Gene shaved his beard completely off and Brenda had shorter hair with bangs cut actually.
She and Paul Gene both looked younger and Brenda was much younger anyway, as the bangs
really made her look young.
The Wiley’s all stood in the kitchen just about ready to leave and looked different.

Seth had his hair cut into bangs and you could see his big browns the bottom was even shorter
on his shoulders not below.
Shane was holding Samantha and said, “You like my nose there little darling”.
That she reached for then grabbed hold of, while everyone gave a smile and Seth especially.

Saul had much shorter hair, still rather long though, but trimmed up, and Sebastian had
shorter curls, it was a few inches above his shoulders with curly bangs.

At last Sebastian’s bright blue eyes showed shining and the Wiley family sure looked nice along
with presentable.
They did not look like hippies no more since Paul Gene’s brother Danny Ray warned them look
suburban.

Samantha sure changed things completely around the Wiley house in a good way.
The boys looked very handsome, as Brenda had tears looking at all their eyes after a long wait.

At the county courthouse, the Wiley’s were all seated, and Seth was jittery, as he kept
fidgeting with his hands nervously and his paw winked at him saying, “All will work out boy”.
Paul Gene held his granddaughter that was making sounds and Brenda giggled, when in walked
the other side.

Dana had a few people with her and she looked over at Seth and smirked sitting down, her mom
just sat down quietly and dressed decent actually and looked like a mother.
Brenda mumbled under her breath, “Guess it took a belting to wake that woman up”.

The four young men next to Dana kept looking at the Wiley boys and smirking, they even gave
a few dirty looks at the Wiley’s.

Noticing their angry looks, Saul with Shane just shook their heads and thought, jerks.
Dana with one man literally laughed out loudly, as you could hear Seth’s name mentioned which
made him fiddle with his hands more.
Paul Gene whispered to his four boys, “Hey y’all, no matter what these creeps start don’t finish it
here”.

His boys agreed, for now anyhow when the judge entered and the bailiff said, “All rise”.
Everyone did, as Samantha blew her famous raspberries, Paul Gene with Brenda grinned at their
grandbaby
The Wiley boys could not help giving dirty looks at the men by Dana, as Sebastian growls. They
kept dogging them, even showing the Wiley boys their fists. Grinning Saul nodded mumbling,
“Huh you think”, and his three brothers looked mad at them jerks.
Paul Gene held onto Samantha, saw his boys and knew they were sure gonna finish those creeps
since necks cracked.

The custody hearing started when it actually went for the good and mostly in the Wiley’s
favor. The judge held a long record in his hand against Dana, from drugs, to petty theft and
even assault with a concealed weapon.

Including prostitution with her mother, as Dana was one bad egg with a history of many
charges.

Seth made a snarling face you could now see and mumbled, “Yuck nasty girl”.
In addition, was never really his girlfriend any way he thanked god though for Samantha that he
loved with all his heart.
The judge now said, “I see you own a bar?”

Worried Brenda thought, oh no and Paul Gene said, “Yes your honor we do”.
The judge said, “You have a secure steady income from having your own business that’s
important”. Brenda felt relieved, as Paul Gene winked at her.
The judge then said, “Seth Allen Wiley step forward”.

Therefore, he did nervously as those men really dogged him and his three brothers saw them
making fun of their youngest brother.
Shane whispered over to them, “Aw guess what y’all are hit bad man”, pointing towards the back
entrance, Sebastian snarled whispering, “See y’all outside real soon”.
Paul Gene nudged Shane who still kept showing his big fist to them now.

Then the judge said, “Seth Allen Wiley you are a sixteen-year-old minor very young standing
before me to be a father”.
Seth stood silently with his hands folded and the judge said, “I have seen before me many other
minors in a much different situation”.
Paul Gene and Brenda both gave a grin as he whispered, “Maw we done well”.
Both happy they raised their boys all right in every way.
The judge continued, “I come to a decision in the best interest of the child”.
Seth’s legs wobbled and Brenda gripped her locket very tightly, with tears in his eyes, Seth
mumbled, “Please god don’t take my little angel”.
“Granting sole custody of Samantha Faye Wiley, to her biological father Seth Allen Wiley”.
Brenda almost screamed out and was all smiles until the judge added, “One condition though”.

“Oh no, now what?” Worried Brenda
“Seth Allen Wiley you will share joint custody until you reach the legal age of eighteen-yearsold”.

The courtroom was still and eyes all large, as the judge said, “Paul Gene and Brenda Wiley
step forward”.

Therefore, Paul Gene give Samantha to Shane that took her smiling, as his parents went up next
to Seth.
The judge said, “The shared custody will be with your parents if agreed upon by both parties”.

Asked them both and “Yes I do your honor”, was answered fast.
Brenda had tears rolling and Paul Gene looked teary eyed, Samantha was sure happy about it
blowing her bubbles and Shane gives her a kiss on the nose.

The judge said, “Seth Allen Wiley do you agree upon the conditions I have read”.
Seth giving a smile responded, “Yes your honor I sure do agree”.
“You all maybe seated”. Seth with his parents went sitting down and his brothers were just about
ready to finish those creeps.
Took his daughter, as she patted his face with her tiny hands and looking at her said, “Only my
little girl for life”.

Patting his face all over, he blew raspberries at her, and she blew a bunch back.
Everyone smiled happily, the bailiff walked over by their bench and handed Paul Gene an
envelope.
Paul Gene shook his head and the bailiff added, “You’re free to leave good luck”.
The bailiff walked away and Brenda tickled Samantha and said, “You’re ours, home for good
baby”.

Dana and her crew, were told they could leave, as she was mad and her mom just hung her
head walking out of the courtroom.

Saul stood up motioning to his three brothers, Seth give Samantha to his mother.
In a hurry, they headed out really cracking necks and Paul Gene said, “Brenda dear their gonna
fight”.

Holding her granddaughter tightly she said, “No they can’t Paul Gene we just won, fighting
will ruin everything”.
“Aw, if I know my boys, they will pull a little Wiley stunt”.
“Stunt, Paul Gene what are you talking about?”
Brenda rolled her eyes, as he grinned then they walked out of the courtroom with their little girl.
Outside, standing by the side of the building Brenda asked, “Where are they?”
“The Wiley trick”.

Brenda held Samantha that patted grandma’s face with Brenda rubbing her nose to
Samantha’s and giggled asking, “Well what is the family trick?”
