League of His Own Ch. 05

There was no missing how relaxed we both were departing the resort, even the receptionist noting that neither of us could stop grinning as I settled up the bill. The flight home was without incident, Kyla snuggling up to me as we enjoyed a drink and a snack. She held my hand the entire drive home, arriving home late enough that Mum and Aimee were already home.

Dumping our baggage in the living room, we joined the family in the kitchen, Mum in the middle of preparing dinner, Aimee at the table, reading a book. "Well, don't you two look happier. Good time away?" Mum asked.

Kyla cuddled into me, my arm around her waist. "We had a great time, Mum," I replied, "I'd like to say things are settled between us."

"They are," Kyla whispered, hugging me tighter.

"But... I should mention something when we're sat down for dinner."

"It'll be ready in ten minutes."

Kyla sat down while I gave Mum and Aimee a kiss on the cheek, pouring everyone a drink, Mum serving up dinner a few minutes later. As we started eating, I shared my thoughts on sharing the biggest secret of my life with Kim and Wendy. Naturally, Mum and Aimee were concerned. Kyla had obviously been concerned too, but also saw reason behind me needing to be honest with my two girlfriends. Aimee eventually saw reason, but Mum was worried, primarily as she knew the impact it could have on my professional life should it anger either of them so much, they go to the media about it. I don't think they would, but we could be honest and admit we had no idea how they would react.

It was only when finishing dinner that I made the decision that could change everything. "I'll invite Kim and Wendy around for dinner on Friday. I will tell them everything them. I'll either have two girlfriends that will understand my lifestyle, or I'll end the night single and we might have to make contingency plans."

Kyla took my hand. "They love you, Danny. It will be difficult at first, but considering the life you're leading anyway, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I can understand concern, but I believe you'll come out of this with two girlfriends who will be part of this family even more than they already are."

"Invite them tonight, Danny," Mum added, "We'll go shopping tomorrow night and make their favourite dishes. Then we'll have a drink in the living room and you can tell them everything. And I mean everything, as it all started with what happened with Rachel."

Having had me to herself for five nights, Kyla was happy enough for me to sleep with my mother that night. As I held her in my arms after making love, she admitted to her own concerns, now that we were in private it. She turned over and rested her head against my chest, assuring me that, no matter what, she would always love me, as would my sister. And, if I had to make the choice between my girlfriends or family, she told me to choose the former.

"You're my son and I'll always love you," she whispered.

"And Kyla? I can't break her heart like that, Mum."

"I will take care of Kyla. I know she's in love with you. I know you're in love with her. But you must be realistic. You cannot date publicly. Your romantic life would always need take place behind closed doors. Once you're recognisable enough, it would be almost impossible." I couldn't help sigh. "Do not give up what you've worked hard for, Danny," she added, "I won't let you. Life is difficult as it is. We'll get through it, one way or the other."

"Friday it is then. That'll decide my fate, one way or the other."

A/N - Mentioned a couple of times at the end of other stories but I'm finding less time to write at the moment so most series will continue but uploads will be slower, but I do have some single chapter stories ready to go too.

This series will be finished but the next chapter is only part written. I have ideas for the rest of the chapters I intend to write.
