The Open Shot (The Hotshots Series Book 1)

Chapter Twenty-Four

Warrick

The drive back to our house is not like the usual, a little quiet, Rory tells us a lot of stories about what happened today in school. We did not stay longer at the McDonalds since I have to leave around six p.m.

Back at the house there's a person standing on my porch. I don't see her face so I don't know who she is. I got out of the car and first opened the door for Yellow then Rory next in the back seat.

"Who's that? / Daddy, we have a visitor?" Yellow and Rory ask at the same time.

I shrugged "No idea, girls" I replied

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" I ask as the three of us strode the house

The lady turns around. She is smiling widely.

Then suddenly I see red.

It's Natalia. The heat is flushing through the body.

"War!"

I don't know what's her deal, whatever she's here for I don't fucking care.

I reached for Yellow's hand, she glanced at me I think I squeeze her hand tight,

"You ok War?" She asks worried

I bit my lower lip and we reached the door. I let Yellow open the door. "No, Heart. Can you bring Rory inside? I'll be there in a minute" I ask Yellow she nods slowly unsure if she wants to follow what I've asked here.

Before Rory got inside the house, I saw her stare at Natalia for a second, I think she recognized her. Then she went inside with Yellow. I closed the door so they won't hear us.

I turned to face Natalia again "What the fuck are you doing here Natalia" I try to control my voice

"I'm here to talk War."

"Well, I'm not fucking interested to whatever you want to say. Get lost Natalia, I don't want you around my daughter."

"She's my daughter too, I gave birth to her. " she retorts.

Is she joking? Trying to be funny? Cause too bad she's not funny not at all. I release a laughter with an edge "Your daughter? You may be the one to give birth to her but she's never your daughter, you gave her up, you gave it up. She's my daughter not yours." I grind my teeth

"Just hear me out War. Please" she plead

"Leave now Natalia."

"I want you and Aurora back." she blurted out

I tightened my hands into fists, I never desire to hit a woman ever in my life, not until now. I'm just really holding myself together. My jaw clenched all the pain she causes me, especially Rory flashes back. The nerve for her to say she wants us back when she was the one left with the one-month-old Rory. Saying she doesn't want to be a mother; she doesn't want to be a stay at home mother, that she wants to chase her dreams well in fact I never stopped her too, I supported her. I even suggested getting a nanny for our baby but she doesn't want to. Giving up Rory just like that because that's not what she wants in her life. Now she just wants us back.

Fuck her.

"Get the fuck out of my property Natalia. Before I call the police. Stay away from my daughter, don't ever show up to my house. It's already enough that I let your parents be grandparents to my daughter. If you are regretting your poor choices in the past I don't give a fuck. It's on you, you fucking choose it. 'I don't want to be her mother. I never want to be a mother.' Those were your words, Natalia always remembers that. Not get leave and never show up again."
