Chapter 16 - Chapter Thirteen.

Lyle was many things But what he was Not

Was stupid, seeing this man standing In front

Of Aubrey and Kayla protectively and Judging by The Man's body language, Lyle

Guessed the man had been In the Military

Which added the Suspicion that Lyle had

That he would not win, the Military man also

Had a decent Muscle built as did Lyle but

Lyle has never been taught....on how to actually fight which makes His Muscles seem

Useless, that's part of the reason as to why

He beats On Aubrey, It Is because He knows

That she's not strong enough to stop Him,

"Who Is that?" Lyle heard The Military man ask Aubrey, "T-That's My Boyfriend Lyle"

For a split second, The Military man froze

Before Quietly asking, "Had....He Hurt you?"

Lyle shivered At the barely concealed venomous tone that the Military man used,

"N-No! Of course not!" Aubrey denied, But the slight Tremor In her voice betrayed her,

The Military man looked back at Lyle, his eyes Darken with anger, his hands curling

Into fists, Lyle shot a venomous glare at Aubrey which caused her to pale, "Hey, Look at me, not her" The Military man said, his voice protective, Lyle did look at The Military

Man, what The Military man Must've saw

In Lyle's eyes Must've amused him, Because

He chuckled,."You can Hurt women, But you don't want to take on someone your own size?" The Military man asked Lyle,

Lyle gritted His teeth as he began to walk forward, The Military man was correct In

His assumption about Lyle, but Lyle did not

Want to give the man the satisfaction, "Daniel, Don't! Kayla still needs her Father"

"Don't worry.... I'm not going to hurt him"

Lyle wasn't so sure about that, Lyle stopped

Just five inches from Daniel and Aubrey,

"So, does hurting women make you feel big?" Daniel asked, Lyle had Just now Noticed that Daniel was wearing a Police

Uniform as such, he could not actually fight

Lyle without risking losing his Job, Daniel

Raised one eyebrow as If to say, He knew

What Lyle was thinking, "Turn around and

Walk away" Daniel told Lyle, "Not without

My girlfriend and Kayla" Lyle replied as he gritted his teeth, "Do You want to go with him?" Daniel asked Aubrey, Aubrey Bit Her

Bottom Lip Thoughtfully, On the Pro side...

If she goes with Lyle....Daniel won't have a risk of losing His Job.....On the Con side

Lyle would most likely....hurt her.....Aubrey

Shook her head as she said, "I'll....go"

"Are You sure....?" Daniel asked Aubrey, Aubrey nodded as she bit her bottom Lip,

Daniel sighed as he stepped aside, "Okay...."

"Thanks....anyway" Aubrey whispered to Daniel, as Lyle and Aubrey were walking

Back to their house, Lyle leaned over to

Whisper In Aubrey's ear, "You're lucky that

You're holding our daughter" he growled,

Blood drained out of her face as she gave

A visible shiver, Not pleasantly, Once Lyle and Aubrey walked inside the house, "Go Put Kayla In Her bedroom, and Come meet me In Ours" Lyle growled as Aubrey nodded, Aubrey gently opened Kayla's Bedroom door

Once she gently lay Kayla On her bed, she

Leaned down to press a loving kiss on Kayla's forehead, Before she pulled away,

Tears welled Up In Aubrey's eyes as she thought about what awaited her....In Her and Lyle's Bedroom, Aubrey gently opened their

Bedroom door....there Sat Lyle on the edge

Of their bed, Aubrey's heart was Pounding

Against her Chest..."Sit down next to me"

Aubrey did so But with Hesitation, Lyle's

Right hand Clamped down On Aubrey's thigh, "Who...do You think you are?" Lyle growled, Aubrey winced as Lyle tighten his

Grip, "I-I was Just taking our baby for a walk!"

"Oh, were You?" Lyle asked, "Yes!" She replied as Tears began to steady roll down

Her cheeks, "Then....who was that man You

Were talking to?" Lyle asked, His Voice was

Filled with possessiveness, "H-He Is one of my patients! I-I'm sure that You heard me say His name!" Aubrey said, Lyle loosen His

Grip slightly, "Ah, That's THE Daniel?"

Aubrey nodded right before Lyle let go of

Her thigh completely, Before Aubrey could

React, Lyle's Other hand reached out to grip

Aubrey's chin tightly, "From now On, If You want to leave to go for a walk or anything like that, You let me know Immediately, Do You understand me?" Lyle growled, "Y-Yes!"

"Good, Now.... You're supposed to be going to work today right?" Lyle asked, "R-Right, I....Honestly forgot" Aubrey said, once

Aubrey was dressed In a Long Beautiful Bright Pink dress with a slit on the right side

She pressed a gentle kiss to Lyle's Lips before leaving the bedroom, For some reason....Lyle was feeling An Unfamiliar

Emotion In His chest....was that emotion regret!? Lyle shook his head to push the

Emotion down, He had never regretted

Anything, and he Is sure as hell not going to start now, He stood Up from the bed, he

Got dressed In a dark blue Sweater and dark blue Jeans, once he tied His Bright white

Tennis shoes, He left the bedroom to go downstairs to watch TV On the couch In the

Living Room, Even as the Night progressed

The emotion of Regret was still there! "Damn It...." He mumbled as Aubrey returned home

From work, "I'm back...." Aubrey whispered,

Lyle sighed, "How was Your day at work?"

For Just a moment, Aubrey looked surprised

Causing the Emotion of Regret to become

Stronger, "It....was Great" Aubrey said Hesitatedly, "do You want to watch TV With me for a little bit?" Lyle asked Aubrey, "Sure....?" Aubrey phased It like a Question

Still....Aubrey walked Into the Living Room

And Sat On the couch directly by Lyle, as the Movie Lyle and Aubrey were watching progressed, Whenever Aubrey was not

Looking, Lyle would look at her as the

Pang of Regret became stronger, What

Had he become? When He was around

Ten years old, He had watched as His

Father Glenn would beat His mother,

At the time he had been disgusted with how

Glenn was....so what Changed? What Made Lyle....become His Father? He was Not Quite sure, He Will plan to visit his Father the next

Day In the Nursing Home when He gets the

Chance because....there has to be some type of memory that He Is suppressing Subconsciously! Lyle was Brought out of

His thoughts by Aubrey, "Are You....okay?"

Lyle nodded slightly as his eyes dropped to

Her Lips, Aubrey's heart skipped a beat

"Can....I Kiss You?" Lyle asked, Lyle Is....asking Permission? Aubrey thought to herself, Her surprise Must have shown on

Her face because His eyes looked back to

The TV, "I'm...sorry" Lyle's Voice cracked as Tears well Up In His eyes, Aubrey's widen with shock....and Slight hope, "I haven't been the Boyfriend You deserved....and I Haven't been the Best Father that Kayla deserved....and for that....I am truly sorry"

The tone Lyle had used, suggested that he

Was Sincere which made Aubrey's eyes

Filled with tears, Without warning Aubrey Gently wrapped her arms around Lyle to Pull Him closer, "I-It'll take me awhile...to fully forgive you for everything that You've done to me....But I'm going to try....because I Miss my boyfriend who used to bring me flowers when I was In a Bad mood, I miss my Boyfriend who would sing to me, who would be gentle

With me during sex, Who would whisper sweet nothings into my ear for no other reason other than the fact that You wanted

To" Aubrey whispered, toward the end of her

Speech, Lyle was sobbing As he cuddled into

Aubrey, "I-I'm so Sorry, I-I'm so sorry" He would repeat, eventually as the sobbing

From Lyle and Aubrey subsided, Lyle Made a vow to be the Best Boyfriend and the Best Father that He could be as Darkness consumed him.
