The Past

23-Lipstick

"Hi." She drops her glasses on the floor and I smiled as Daisy stumbled inside the office.

"Hi Ms.Gems. Did you get the file I needed?" She nods and place the file on the desk.

"I wanted to ask you-,"

"Hey boss-, oh my bad." Daisy turns around to face Alex. She froze and I smiled, knowing someone had a crush. "I can come back another time."

"No worries, come in." I told Alex and he smiles at Daisy as he sat in the chair. Daisy still was frozen.
"As you were saying Daisy?"

"Who are you?" She ask him.

"Her assistant." She frowned.

"He's my.....home assistant. Gets my clothing and helps pick up my son sometimes." She nods at me and was still frozen.

"I wanted to a-ask if I could get a few d-days off, I just need Thursday and Friday off."

"Okay and why is that?" I ask as Alex never stopped looking her face. Which I thought he was dating somebody else.

"U-um." She was distracted by Alex stare. "I need to go to the d-doctor ma'm and-,"

"ALEX WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Fucking Manny PA came inside the Office. She pointed at Alex who kept on staring at Daisy but snaps back to Riley.

"Still can't believe you wanted to date her." I mumbled and Alex glared at me but I shrug my shoulders.

"Girlfriend?" Daisy said with disappointment.

"Who's this? Your whore?" Riley said and Daisy was taken aback.

"Wait hold on." She said but Riley slapped her face, Daisy touched her cheek and tears clouded her eyes. I got up from my desk and before Riley could slap again I grab her hand.

"Alex, if you don't break up with her then I swear to god, you know I can do more damage then words." I angrily told him and he sighs.

"Riley, I've been meaning to tell you this but you are one crazy BIITCH! You got mad at me for visiting my family, my family. Fuck you and we're breaking up."

I smiled.

Alex looks at Daisy and Daisy was speechless. "Whatever I knew you were cheating on me with this whore."

"And if I was, she was clearly better then you in my opinion." Alex stated and I smirk. Riley then yelled out a groan and walked out the office.

"Just to be clear." Daisy began, "I never had a type of relations with Alex ma'm." I laughed and pat her shoulder.

"I would've known Ms.Gems." I chuckled and she blushed.

"Actually, Daisy." Daisy turns her head to Alex. "Would you like to go on a a date with me?"

"I-I d-dont, um, I-I Uh? Pft, I don't know, um-,"

I interrupted her, "she would love to, right?" She nods as she tries to get the idea she is going on a date.

Daisy left and it was just me and Alex.

"We spotted some pics of your mother in town." That spike my attention.

"Where?" He hands me pictures of a women with highlight hair near a bar and record store.

Seems fishy.

....

I decided to fish the bar. See what I can find. Of course I had brought guards.

Danny and Oliver.

Luis had stayed over with Nima and Franco was busy with managing the club.

"Bourbon." I told the bartender and he nods.

Boys were behind me as I drink my drink.

"Hey have you seen this person?" I show him a picture of half my mother face.

"Oh yeah, she was here last night, complaining about this guy she used to date and she couldn't see her daughter. Also yapping about a fucking dog she's hate to see. Crazy lady I tell you."

She mention me to him?

Should I feel proud? Should I feel angry?

I head to the bathroom and I look in the mirror. My mother had change her hair. Nothing compared almost 4 years ago.

4 fucking years I believe you was dead.

And all these years, she was fucking alive.

How fucking unbelievable?

The restroom stall door behind me opened and I looked down to grab my purse, acting like a normal girl.

I grab my favorite gloss lipstick and twist the top.

"You always love that lipstick." A high rich voice spoke and I raised my head. In the mirror, I saw a lady smiling at me then leaving quickly.

I saw the note she had left and I quickly get out the restroom to find her but my hopes had died when I didn't see her hair.

I couldn't form words when I saw her, I couldn't believe she was here and those were the words she said

'You always love that lipstick.'

She was the one that introduce to the lipstick, and now acted like nothing had happen.

I unfold the note and read it.

My darling,
I told you I would find you when I can, but I notice you are trying to find me as well. I can't bring you into my life as of right now, I need to fix the problem before it becomes worse. Until then, stop looking, I'm your mother and I'm older, I don't want to be found.

Like I Fucking care, I will find her, rather she likes it or not. She's my mother for god sake, and I need her. Where was she when I almost died multiple times?

Where was she-,

Gun shot went off and I crouch immediately, I hid. Behind some chairs and try to get a peak of what was going on.

I grab my gun and start shooting who was shooting. Two men dropped but when I was about to shoot my gun at the third one, I felt cold metal touch the edge of my neck.

"Fucking shoot and I will shoot you back." I raised my hands and stand up. "Turn around and slowly."

Where was Danny and Oliver?
