chapter 14
To the stars that listened and to the dreams that were answered ✨
"I'm sorry about last night". I see him holding flowers.
"Save it", i really didn't have time for his nonsense this morning,and by nonsense I mean this bipolar nature of his. To actually think he can win my forgiveness with flowers,lol.
"I got this for you"he stretches out his hand to give me the flowers.
"Not a florist don't need it, there's a florist down the road she will love them. I mean for starts she actually fw flowers"
"So your saying you don't fuck with flowers",
"No no don't get me wrong I don't fuck with you , let's not shift hate to flowers"
"Khloe I'm sorry for last night ,I overreacted."
" Save me that gibberish", I walk away from him. I try desperately not to remember last night, I don't need such toxic thoughts . It's a new day and all I need is positivity. Just positivity.
"Fine", he sighs defeated. I seat on the sofa, I watch him place the flowers in a vase close to the bar.
He has some kind of gloom look, I feel irritated. I just hope he isn't trying to act "victim" right now after hurting me yesterday.
"Hey Khloe!", I could recognize that squeal any day ,any time.
"Hey Mia",she comes to give me hug.
"Hey uncle Durango",she greets him.
"Hey", he replies before going upstairs.
"Why's he like that?",she asks me.
"Like how?", I take a sip of my coffee.
"I don't know his reply was kind of cold"
"Don't worry about it sweetheart,he's probably stressed from all work during the week"
"That makes sense", she goes to the fridge and grabs a granola bar.
"Are you follow this show too!",she squeals excitedly.
"It's one of my favorites. You my friend got good taste."
"Hehehe I know the vibes",she smiles tooth on .
We watch the show together, apparently every Saturday from 8am till 11am it's on marathon.
"Sweet baby Jesus this will never get boring",she yarns once it's finally over.
The doorbell gets my attention,"I'll go check who is it"
"Don't worry Mia,I'll go see. Just sit tight over there okay ?", She nods indicating yeah.
"Mom!!!!", I squeal.
"How are you baby?",she pulls me into a tight hug.
"Where's dad? I check out to see if he was parking the car in the garage or something.
"He didn't come, he had to attend to something at the office."
"Okay", a wave of sadness hit me ,I wanted him here, I wanted to have a lil family time.
"Come in",
"Here is really nice I must admit"
"Yeah I thought the same"
"Mum this is Nanny Isabelle's grand daughter Mia"
"Hey Mia"
"Goodmorning Ma", she comes closer to say hello.
"What a sweet one"
"Thank you", Mia smiles from ear to ear,what a sucker for compliments.
"You also look lovely Mrs Kerrighton",she says smiling.
"Oh I try".
"You look like your aging backwards"
"Oh why thank you sweetie."
We gather at the guest room close to the sitting room, not that she couldn't stay at the parlour but the room was more private and I needed that with her.
"So tell me how are you feeling now baby?"
Once she asked I started to cry, she didn't expect it neither did I .
"Oh I'm so sorry your going to be fine,please stop",she used the Kleenex to clean my tears.
"He's really scary" I mutter in-between sobs. Even if I act all tough infront of Durango I've got to admit he's a frightening man, plus the way he's built?? Oh God.
"No no stop saying that . The girl I raised isn't intimidated by anybody"
"I know mum. I know he would never hurt me but he still scares me".
My guts told me he will never hurt me physically , I realized I had some kind of effect on him. Nevertheless he scared me not all the time but when he did!!
"Dad's making sure everything works out fine for the company so you don't have to go through all these. You know he dislikes Bryan , he feels like he's going to cheat him I don't know ,but I'm certain he's trying his best."
I use my palm to wipe my tears.
"How's Dad? How's his health. This stress isn't good for him"
"He's doing well ,he's worried about you. Not a day goes by we don't think about you baby",she says hugging me.
"I love you guys"
Knock knock
"Mia you could come in!---",
Durango walks in to my greatest surprise. What's he doing here? I sigh mentally.
"Goodmorning mrs. Kerrighton"
"Hey",mum replies looking away from him. No doubt she didn't like him. Why she should she even? He hasn't showed anything likeable
He takes a seat,"Durango I'm having a private discussion with my mum, if you could excuse us?"
"I just want to tell y'all something. "
Mum gives me a look that says 'allow him Khloe',which I do.
"Okay wasgood?"
"So yeah I told you about the media wanting to speak with us?"
"Yes you did. "
"So that will be next week before you resume school"
"Yeah"
"You know when the media is involved our lives will be more out there. So well would you love to follow your mum home to have some family time for three days"
I look at him in disbelief. I'm So shocked at the moment. If this isn't this nicest thing he's done .
"So what do you say?", He asked I'm so shocked that silly me hasn't replied.
"Ofcourse yeah",I say smiling from ear to ear
"Alright.",he stands to leave.
"Thank you so much Durango. Thank you", I truely appreciated this gesture .
"It's fine. Mrs Kerrighton , please do well to greet Me. Kerrighton for me."
"Yeah I will".
"Bye I'll be going to my office."
He leaves. I look at mum shocked .
"This is the nicest thing he's ever done" I whisper to her.
"Well it's about time he starts doing nice things "she replies.
