Obsessed

Chapter 30

Camilla

"Babe, can you get the door, please? I think that's Celeste and Kaleb." I shout from the kitchen. "Yeah, babe!" Jamari says. About 15 minutes later, I hear the front door open. I know my sisters voice anywhere.
Jamari and I were hosting dinner at our house this evening. Celeste told me about what happened between her and Michael, so I brought up the idea. Our mother was all the way in Jersey, so hopefully this was going to go as smoothly as possible. The last thing we needed was any drama. Fingers crossed.
I was in the kitchen, cooking when my sister and her adorable little family walked in. This was a small dinner, nothing too dramatic. I wasn't even dressed yet. "Hey, sissy!" Celeste says, interrupting my thoughts. I smiled. "Hey, you look cute! Wait is that my top? I feel like it is." I said. "Yeah, I think so. Why aren't you dressed yet?" She said, hugging me. "I'm almost done cooking. When I finish, I'll go get dressed." I said. Next, I greeted my nephews. "Y'all look so cute! My babies!" I say, grabbing Kaiden. "Hi, Titi!" KJ says. I crouch down and hug him. "Hi, baby! You look so handsome." I tell him.
"How are you feeling?" I asked Celeste. We were now in the living room with the kids. Kaleb and Jamari were in the backyard, doing whatever it is that men do when their wives aren't around. She looked at me then, she let out a sigh. "Is it bad to say that I'm nervous? Cause I am." She says.
Just as I was about to respond to my sister, the doorbell rang. Celeste and I exchanged glances. She had every right to be nervous. I was nervous for her. This was all new for her, so I understood.
"I'll go get the door. You stay here with the kids. We'll talk more later, okay?" I said, standing up and fixing my dress. "Okay." Celeste says. I took a deep breath before opening the door. When I did, however, there stood my sisters biological father. Michael.
"Camilla, hi! How are you?" He says, reaching for a hug. I was hesitant about hugging him for a minute. But then I figured, what the hell. We didn't know his side of the story yet. Shit, we weren't even sure if he knew Celeste was his this entire time.
So, Michael had a wife and 2 daughters. He brought them all to dinner. Celeste and I grew up with Michael's daughters. Their names were Aria and Elle. They were 20 years old now. It was just so crazy now that these girls were Celeste's sisters.
"Michael, hi! I'm doing good. How are you?" I said, stepping aside. They all pile inside. "Can't complain. You remember my wife, Chanise. And the twins Aria and Elle. Say hi girls." Michael says. Aria and Elle were too busy on their phones. I awkwardly clear my throat. "Aria, Elle. Say hi." Chanise butted in.

Celeste

Dinner was uncomfortably awkward. The twins were being rude the entire night for no reason at all. They were making petty comments about every little thing. If I wasn't pregnant, I'd hop over this table and fly kick the both of them. That wouldn't have been very ladylike, would it?
"This food is amazing, Camilla." Chanise says, breaking the silence. "Thank you! I appreciate it." My sister said. "I don't know. The Mac and cheese is kinda dry." Aria says. Elle laughed. I started to say something, but Kaleb stopped me. "It's not worth it, babe." He whispered to me. I took a deep breath.
Anyway, yes I was pregnant with our third child. I had just found out so it was way too early to know the sex. I was hoping for a girl this time. I loved my boys, don't get me wrong. However, I wanted a mini me running around. I was tired of being the only girl in my house. It was time for a princess.
"Aria, are you kidding me?" Michael said. Kaleb gently rubbed my thigh and I took a deep breath. I look at him and just smile. Kaleb knew how to calm me down. He was the calm to my storm. I couldn't wait to tell him about the baby.
"What? I was being honest! You want me to lie?" Aria said. "No, you were being rude." Chanise says, joining in. I liked Chanise. She been putting these little hoes in they place the whole night. Aria rolled her eyes, and took her phone out.
I was really confused as to why the twins are acting brand new. We all grew up together. We were all like sisters. And now that we actually are sisters, they wanna act stank. Was I missing something?
"Twins, let me ask you something." I said. "Celeste." Camilla says. "No,no,no,no. I just wanna ask a simple question." I said. "Babe." Kaleb butted in. "No, I just wanna talk." I say. "Um, Ima go check on the kids." Jamari says, standing up.
"Back to what I was saying," I started. "We used to be so close growing up. What the hell happened?" I said. "You wanna know what happened? Your slutty ass mother had sex with our dad. That's what happened." Elle says. "I'm so glad I didn't have to be the one to say it." Aria says, still looking down at her phone. "You know what? My mother and Michael made a mistake. You have a problem with my mother, that's fine. But don't disrespect her when she isn't here to defend herself." I said. "You're just as bad as she is. Constantly getting pregnant. Like damn girl slow down." Elle says. "First of all, my kids are 2 and 6. A good 4 year age difference so you can mind the business that pays you. Second, my kids have the same father. And lastly, I'm married. Don't ever speak on my children. Thanks." I snapped. Camilla gave me an encouraging smile and nodded. "Well, I guess we were wrong. You're not a whore like your mom." Aria said. "Okay, that's where Ima need you to pipe it all the way the fuck down. Cause one thing you not gon do is throw dirt on my mother. Your father is just as wrong as my mother. It takes two to make a baby so don't sit there and pin everything on my mom." I shouted.
Before I allowed the twins to disrespect me and my family any longer, I stood up. "Actually, I think I'm ready to go." I said. "Celeste, please don't go." Chanise says. Elle laughed. "No, let her go. We didn't even wanna be around her anyway." She says. "Elle, that's enough!" Michael said. "No, she's right dad. Things were fine before. Their whore of a mother ruined our family." Aria says. "I SAID THATS ENOUGH!" Michael shouted. There was nothing but silence. "Sherri is not a whore and I won't allow you to talk about her that way because... because I love her." Michael continued.
