Two Pasts And A Baby

Chapter Six.

Courtney got home and sat with her face buried in her hands. Laine walked in slowly with Samantha. She took Samantha into the bedroom and went back to the sitting room.

"Hey"Laine said in a low tone as she sat beside her."it's okay"she patted her back.

Courtney started calming down and she was no longer crying because she hated the idea that she had to cry for Darren.

"You okay now?"Laine asked.

"Yeah"she sniffed.

"Why did you lash out that way?"

"I had every right to do so!"she exclaimed"that was Darren. He hooked me up with Karen just to be close to Samantha which is so impossible!"

"Calm down-"

"And he called her "our daughter?"...that statement alone makes me wanna puke"she said."where was he when I bore her or-"

"Look,I never knew he was the dude you've been talking 'bout but you should control your anger issues even if you're doing this for Sam'"

"But-"

"I understand how it feels to work with his"she made an irritating look"girlfriend. But do it for Sam"Laine added and looked at Sam who had already come out of the room.

Laine excused herself and went into the room for them to have some mother and daughter time together.

"You okay mum?"Sam asked as she sat close to her mum.

Courtney looked at her and smiled."yeah...I'm fine"She said and sniffed.

Darren and Karen were on their way home after dropping Gareth at his apartment. It was a very quiet ride.

Karen looked at Darren whose eyes were glued to the road and he held the steering wheel tightly.

"Darren"She called as they were entering their street.

"Hmmn-mn?"he asked as his car came to an halt while his face was being scanned before the gates opened.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"No"he looked at her"why-"

"Look,I'm not stupid. I saw everything"

"What?...being nice is a crime?"

"Nice?...am I not good enough for you?"

"Didn't say you weren't"

"I saw the way you looked at her"

"Looked at who?"

"Don't play dumb with me-"

"Why is it when I'm nice to the ladies,you get jealous?"

"I'm not jealous"she stated"is any lady gon' be happy when she finds her boyfriend staring at another lady?"

"Why are you jealous of a seven-year-old?"he asked as he parked his car.

"I'm talking about Courtney"

"Look,I've had a long day. Now's not the time"he said and got out of the car.

Karen watched him in surprise as he walked out because he has never done that before. He went into the kitchen and took a bottle of alcoholic red wine. He poured some inside a glass cup.
He really needed to forget about what happened. He remembered all the letters she sent him about getting out of her parents house.
He grew angry at himself for not being there for her,for ignoring her calls and texts. He got out of the kitchen and met Karen in the sitting room.

"Off to go get her number?...Not surprised"Karen said bitchily.

"Yeah. Sad she's better than you in bed?"he replied and was walking out.

"What!"she shouted and he slammed the door. He drove out and just strolled in his car with no plan of staying in a place.
