Secrets revealed

Chapter 28

*Mckenzie's POV*

I wake up in bed, covered with a white sheet and what appears to be a black shirt. I sit up tiredly rubbing the sleep from my eyes and quickly throwing my hair up from my face and into the messiest bun I could

Throwing the sheets from my body I look around to see if there was anything to signal Harry still being here but he was no where to be seen

I sigh and walk to the connected bathroom to clean up a bit. After having the quickest shower, brushing my teeth and cleaning my eyes, I slipped Harry's top back on, I'm not sure what exactly made me do it but I didn't want to take it off yet

I leave the bathroom and bedroom, walking into my kitchen, which is completely empty. I scan the open plan apartment and see no one although I know he stayed the night, but left before I woke

I feel an ache in my chest at the feeling of him not waiting till I woke or waking me up. His words run through my mind last night, the way we connected and how he had softly and gently carried me to bed when I was falling asleep on him while watching TV.

But now. Now he was gone. I couldn't understand why I felt so upset about him not being here, about everything. It was painfully obvious that I was becoming somewhat dependent on him, his strength and dominant nature.... He beat down my walls before I had chance to finish building them

I mope around the apartment for the remainder of the day, well until 3pm which is what the time is now. The office was shut today Due to having some maintenance and decorating done for the next few days

The door knocks and I walk to my computer to see who it is knocking, I wasn't in the mood for people today and I am now so happy I had the camera fitted so I can see who's at the door.

As I look to the screen I let out a breathy groan. My mother. And it now makes me extremely happy that I sent Zac, Emily and Hannah to Spain.

I walk to the door despite my better judgement and open the door slowly seeing the women who has come to mean nothing to me, I take in her appearance slowly and it is just as I had always expected. Her hair perfectly pinned, her outfit perfectly conservative and put together

She stares at me before pushing past me and into my apartment making me hit my back into the door.

I roll my eyes pushing myself from the door, slamming it and walking into the middle of my open plan kitchen and living room.

'What are you doing here?' My voice tired already, not wanting this conversation to happen, I know she is staring at my choice of outfit being just Harry's top. But right now I don't care one bit

'Im here to tell you of your fathers funeral, but first what the hell are you wearing?' Her voice is judgemental and loud
'None of your concern what I choose to wear or not wear' I stare at her for a moment longer

As she goes to speak the front door opens, making me snap my head in its direction but I don't see who it is due to the angle I'm at, but his voice his loud and familiar 'hey baby, it's just me. I can explain this morning-'

He swiftly cuts himself off when he sees my body, a smile appearing at the sight of me stood in his shirt but when he sees the figure opposite me he is quick to come to my side and his smile disappear completely

As he reaches my side I whisper 'you explain later' his reply is simple as he wraps his arm around my side tugging me closer and causing the shirt to ride up slightly showing my the edge of my tattoo her eyes are drawn to it and feel with disgrace

'This- your with him? This disgrace. He's your new boyfriend' before I can correct her and say we're not, simply because he haven't discussed it, Harry cuts in
'Yes, I'm kenzie's boyfriend'

'No, this is not acceptable. You will leave her apartment now! This is over. He is not good for you Mac. He will ruin you and you know that. Look at those tattoos that cover his skin, they are vulgar and you.. You've tainted your skin with the same ink '

My rage rises at hearing her loud obnoxious voice through my ears 'mother, just be quiet for once. You have no say in what I do. I am 22 years of age, I'm an adult and your not my mother. So just stop with the act already, tainted my skin... I was tainted years ago'

'I gave birth to you and therefore I am in charge of what you do and you know it. I raised you to respect yourself and not be the cheap filthy whore that sleeps with the likes of this boy'

'You gave birth to me and that's all you did. I was passed to the nanny the moment I was born for her only to be fired when I turned 12 because I was old enough to care for me and my siblings. You can think what you wish of me but do not insult this man that has done more for me in the 3 months I've known him than you have in my 22 years'

I hadn't realised that I had taken a step towards her until I felt Harry tug me back a step

'And just to clear things up. I'm not a filthy whore but if I was I learnt from the best isn't that right mother? I remember the nights you would sleep with 3 men simply to repay my father for forgetting to leave you money. That is a filthy whore. You' as the last word came from my mouth I felt her hand go across my face

I could see Harry stiffen and clench his fists, he was angry and so was I. I should be used to this but it stings that your own mother will so happily hit you for the truth

'You need to leave now' his voice is loud and angry
'I came to tell you and ask for help on your fathers funeral' she completely ignores Harry and I see him step to throw her out but I stop him

'No need. I will not be attending. So sort it yourself' my hand still clutching my cheek before putting it to my side
'He was your father don't be so disgraceful and disrespectful. And what about your siblings? Where are they?'

'Would a decent father try to rape his own children or beat them so badly they pass out? No. They will not be attending and I will not tell you were they are.' I walk to my purse pulling my cheque book out, writing a cheque and giving it to her

'2000 to cover the costs this is the last thing I do for you or that man. Your out of all of our lives. Your no mother and now you need to leave' she takes the cheque
'I won't leave I'm your mother'

'Get the fuck out. Before I remove you myself' Harry booms and moves to push her from the apartment, which he succeeds in doing

I sit down on the seat in the kitchen waiting for Harry to return which he does within minutes 'baby, you okay? Let me see your face' he softly lifts my face to examine my face

'I thought One of us was going to hit her, if she continued' I say seriously
'So did I, baby you okay?'

'Yeah I'm okay Harry don't worry, so explain'
'Oh this morning, I got a call and my office was broken into I had to go and sort it but we can deal with that later, let me take care of you'

I looked at him and I could tell he was holding back but I kept it to myself , he will tell me when he wants to tell me

'Okay boyfriend?' I tease laughing lightly
'I said I wanted you, when I said that I mean straight away you being mine and I being yours. Girlfriend and boyfriend. It's a big thing for me and I don't want to fuck about with the dating thing first'

My heart flutters at his simple words 'okay Harry I'm all yours' he replies by holding me tightly kissing my forehead and saying

'And I'm yours baby'
