"I'm going to fight for you two. Show you that I'm staying for good and not going anywhere," he whispered so she could only hear. Janie took a shaky breath in and opened her eyes again. He pulled back slightly and looked at her. "I promise," he said. "And I don't break my promises."

She knew he didn't break his promises and that was what worried her. He was going to fight until she gave in. Was it wise to just give in now? Or should she try to make him see that she wasn't the right person for him?

"You don't want me," she whispered.

"Why do you say that?" he asked. "I want the honest truth. Why don't I want you?"

"You just don't," she said, not looking at him. Couldn't he see what she was talking about?

"You don't get to decide for me," he said. "I see you for you and I want you. I want your daughter who I've only talked to twice. I want both of you and I'm going to fight for you. I'm not going to stop until I have you two."

Tears filled her eyes and she blinked several times. She couldn't cry but everything was so confusing.

'It's going to be okay," he whispered.

She shook her head. "I've got to go." She didn't want to talk about this right now. He didn't know the future and what it held. For all she knew, he could be gone in a month. She didn't want to get attached only for him to leave.

Janie walked over towards the group she was with near the bar. "I'm going to go home," she gently said. She could hear and feel Mac behind her. Was he going to follow her the whole way?

"Are you sure?" Echo asked. "You don't have to."

"We're sorry about earlier. We just wanted to give you to a private moment," Kyle said. "We didn't mean to make you uncomfortable and would've stayed if you wanted us to."

Janie shook her head. "I know what you were doing and it's okay. Don't worry about it."

"We were thinking about playing with the dolls here for a bit," Elsha said. "Are you sure you have to go home now?"

"Yeah, I'm exhausted and need to go back to Eleanor," Janie said.

"You go rest, mama," Tucker said. "Take it easy. If you need anything, just text the group chat and we'll come help."

"And we're serious about it," Echo said. "We don't want you burning out or getting sick."

"Thank you guys," she whispered. "It really means a lot. I'll see you soon." Janie had a feeling that they knew she wouldn't message them at all. It was hard for her but she was going to try because she told them she would.

"Bye. Get home safely!" they all said.

Janie made her way towards the front of the club.

"I'm driving you home," Mac said.

She turned around. "No. I'm going to take an Uber home like I normally do." Mac's face turned to shock and he grabbed her arm. Did she say something wrong?

"You always take an Uber home?" he slowly asked.

"Yes," she replied. "I don't enjoy driving but I especially don't want to be driving home after playing. I could still be lingering in Littlespace and I don't want to have an accident."

He continued to stare at her, almost like he didn't believe her words.

"I thought you knew that. I put it on my application that I would have an Uber take me to the club and home every time I came," she said.

Had he looked over her file? She had no doubt all of the owners looked at each one to see who the person was and what their hard limits were. Granted, Janie didn't think they remembered all of that. There were a lot of members and she didn't know anyone who had that good of a memory.

"You aren't taking an Uber any more to the club," he said.

"You can't do that," she said.

"I just did," he replied. "I'll be driving you to and from the club." Janie stomped her foot and crossed her arms. He couldn't do that.
