Allie's POV:
I wake at 10:26am and sit up to my phone buzzing off,
D ❤ : wakey wakey

D ❤ : it better has !
Me : lool hmu later it's breakfast time.
D ❤ : alrighty, enjoy
I bounce out of bed and jog downstairs to where my parents are quietly sitting.
"Morning!" I enthusiastically say.
"Morning" they say almost in unison.
"No Sponge Bob?" I turn to my dad and he shakes his head no.
"No coffee?" I turn to my mom and she gets up and grabs a plate from the microwave.
"Sit and eat Allie, I'm not in the mood for coffee.." She sits and goes back to daydreaming I guess.
Slowly sitting, I rest my hands in my lap and gaze from left to right at the two sulking people sitting opposite each other.
"So mom, can we go to the mall?" She looks at me.
"What for?"
"I really need some hair stuff for tonight" she sighs and nods.
"Hey dad, when's the car getting fixed?"
"Ummm it's already fixed pumpkin I just have to collect it this afternoon" he smiles and I nod.
I eat and watch them totally zoned out.
"Seriously guys what's up?"
"What do you mean?" My dad asks and I stare at him.
"Nothing's going on just finish your breakfast" he smiles and gets up and jogs upstairs to the bedroom. I glance back at my mom for her response and she smiles and follows him upstairs. Something's really up.
After breakfast I took a shower and brushed my teeth and by 11:45 I was roaming my closet for a casual outfit to wear to the mall. I picked out a white T-shirt, long light jeans and knelt down to grab my white vans. I put my hair into a high ponytail and tied a black and white scarf around it.
After dressing and grabbing my phone I head downstairs to wait on my mom and dad, he's picking up the car at 12:30 so mom will drop him off on our way to the mall. His car got fixed fast, I'm guessing there wasn't any major issues.
"Ready?" I turn and see my mom standing behind me in a long, tight fitted, multicolored, striped dress and gold sandals but her hair is let down with a red band. I nod and follow her outside to the car as my dad locks up.
Becky's POV:
I'm dropping off CJ at the garage and then I can take Allie to the mall. CJ has plans for us tonight but I'm not looking forward to it. I found out on Tuesday that he's still talking to Renée and it wasn't a friendly 'hello'. I've been trying not to say anything but we had a big argument last night.
"Babe, don't forget we have reservations tonight, I've gotta stop at the firm today and I'll be home by 5 or so" CJ says and I nod.
"So you'll be ready right?"
"Yes" I say running my hand through my hair.
We arrive and he leans over to kiss me. I hesitate but Allie stares and I smile and kiss him quickly and he kisses Allie on her forehead before heading inside the garage.
"Mom are you and dad okay, like your relationship?"
"Yes honey, we just hit a bump like all relationships do but we'll be fine, I promise" I smile into my mirror and she nods.
Allie's POV:
We arrive at the mall and she's adjusting her dress. I shut the door and go around to her side of the car where she's putting on her sandals properly. She could've drove with them on psshh.
"Okay where to first?" She stands up and smiles.
"The hair store?" I roll my eyes and we head inside.
Inside the store I grab rubber bands, hair pins, clips and oils. My mom grabs a jar of jam.
"Why can't you just go to the hair salon like all girls do?" She rolls her eyes and shifts her weight from her left leg to her right. I giggle.
"Because I prefer for my mommy to do it as always" I smile and shake my head. Every time we go out my mom does my hair.
"Whatcha doing till 5?" She asks smiling.
"Ehh chill I guess" I smile and she nods and shuffles through the shelves looking at the other products.
We stroll through the mall a bit and window shop. I see a bikini that's to die for. My mom spots a handbag and she's forever checking it out while I stand by a mannequin waiting for her. She's talking to the assistant when someone taps my shoulder.
"Hey, is that your mom over there?" Some dude asks pointing at my mom.
"Who wants to know?" I drop my hands on my hips.
"What's your name?" he chuckles.
Becky's POV:
I look over to ask Allie's opinion and my heart sinks. I throw the bag aside back on the rack and hurry over to her.
"Allie's a pretty name" he smiles
"I know." Allie blankly says and glares at me
"Come on honey let's go" I grab her gently and she follows.
He grips my hand before I could properly turn to leave.
"Let go!" I say as calmly as possible, tugging away.
"Why the hostility? I just want to meet my grand daughter" he smiles a evil smile.
"Mom, this is your dad?" Allie asks behind me.
"Yes" I could barely get the words out.
"Oh, hi" she says waving and he waves back.
"Hey, why don't we get some ice cream" he says in that husky voice.
With my hand still tightly in his grip we follow to the Dessert section of the food court. He pays and waits for Allie to get her flavor then we sit together with cups on the table.
"So, Allie, how old are you?"
"16" Allie smiles and eats her chocolate flavored ice cream.
"Wow, you're really big, and beautiful, just like your grand mother" he smiles and my heart races.
Mom...
"Really? Thanks"
"Yah, Becky looks everything like her mom, I remember when they use to go out and people would ask if they were twins" he laughs and Allie joins in as I sit silently staring at him.
"Where is she?" Allie asks the question I always longed to ask.
"She's moved on, somewhere" he hesitantly said then smiles.
"Oh.." Allie responds with ice cream on her tongue.
We spent probably an hour and a half talking about past memories then Allie was ready to get home to get ready for Prom.
"Well enjoy your Prom dear, it was nice to meet you" he hugged Allie and she hugged back.
"It was nice to meet you too grandad"
He came over to hug me and I flinched when he wrapped his hands around me. His hug was fierce rather than warm... I pulled away and grabbed our bags and we hurried out of the mall at 3:45. We buckled up and I pulled off refraining from looking back.
We got home at 4:15 and CJ's car wasn't there as yet. I got her inside and locked the door then head to the kitchen to prepare her a light snack, ham sandwiches and orange juice.
CJ's POV:
Panting I laid back in utter remorse.
"Babe you okay?" Renée hung over me twirling her index finger on my chest hairs. I turned and nodded. She leaned in and kissed me and it felt like heaven. I quickly broke the contact and sat up.
"Imma head out" I stand and put on my boxer, pants and shirt then grabbed my phone, wallet and watch and hurried downstairs.
"CJ!" I turn and see Renée standing on the bottom stair naked.
"I love you" she says with a blank face.
"Me too" I quickly say before shutting the door and jogging to my car.
I pull out of her driveway and hit the road for an hour drive, at least I can clear my head and get my self together by the time I get home.
