Storm (interracial)

Hurricane

Over the next few months everything was as normal. Well as normal as it gets.  Lady settled in comfortably but she brought something with her that didn't seem to want to go away.  And that my friends was Marco.  This man really has some attachment issues when it comes to Lady.  It as if he has the Oedipus complex but in reverse. Where ever she and Camille goes so does he. Lady doesn't say much about it but when she does its a mouthful but nothing deters this man. His excuse is that he has to make sure she is protecting his legacy properly. I say it's bullshit. He is simply attached to her and will not admit it.

As for my relationship with Arian it's progressed some especially since we found out that we were having a boy.  Arian is so excited that he has practically plan the poor child's life before he has even made his entrance into the world.  He is pass attentive when it come to me and as much as it pains me to admit it I know deep down that it is because of the male heir that I carry.  Hopefully this child will be the tie that binds us all for the better.  Hell even Marco has been nicer to me and that's well... weird.

Being that I lack friends and acquaintances I decided that I'd ask Lady if she wanted to be our son's godmother. Arian is on board with the idea and I believe it will be good for Lady. For goodness sake she is almost like the forty year old virgin. Hopefully she'll accept. I wonder what Marco will think and say. Well I'll be finding out shortly cause they're due here any minute.  After whipping up a quick meal and setting the table the doorbell rang.  Here goes nothing.  I open the door to see Marco giving me death glares and Lady being Lady as serious as can be.

"Hey you guys!"  I say as excited as I possibly could. 

Marco tilts his head to the side and says in a bored tone,  "Woman that was faker than boobs on a stripper.  Now move so we can enter."

This man I swear is the epitome of rude and mean.  Can't I just get one break from his insults, his unwanted opinions, his condescending attitude period?  But that is only wishful thinking and I'll just have to grow a thick skin when it comes to him. 

"Storm where is Arian?  I have some business that we need to discuss." Marco states just as cool as spring.

"He's in his office, I'm sure he is waiting on you." I tell him in response.

"If you ladies, well lady and a tramp will excuse me I'll take my leave." Marco says with a smirk.  

That old wrinkly bastard.  If he thinks that he can get a rise out of me he is sadly mistaken cause I'll never let him take me there again in life.  Although his and I relationship has gotten better he still hurdles insults my way whenever he feels like it. Sometimes I wonder if it is just his way.

"Look do not pay that old man any attention, he's just seeking some attention." Lady says while laughing.

"I know but it's like I can never get used to it because although we're getting along better, I just do not know if he is serious or not." I respond.

"Well I know I don't. Truth be told he doesn't like you but he loves Arian more so that can either be a good thing for you or a bad thing. Sometimes you have to take the bitter with the sweet."

"Well I almost prefer the the bitter and only the bitter cause at least I know where I stand. I know I should leave well enough alone but how do you feel about me."

"Yep you you really should have. To be honest I don't give two fucks about you but I respect you and that's something you should appreciate."

I am shocked and not shocked but I respect her feelings. "Wow, thanks." I say somewhat perplexed.

"Why are you thanking me." She says with a stoic expression.

"Cause I appreciate your honesty." I say truthfully.

"Like they say in California, It's nothing to a boss." She shrugs.

"Okay, but I do like your honesty.

"Well since you like honesty. Why did you do all that stuff to Arian. I understand the altercation but I do not understand the moves you made. It was dumb and repulsive. You would have never won one cause I always knew what you were up to before you even launch your first move. I'd planned your death plenty of times." Lady says smoothly.

"Wait what?" Now I'm really confused.

"Let's just say nothing ever gets passed me. I'm shocked you went up against him considering who he is."

" Why are we having this conversation?"

"Well, if you need to know. She looks me dead square in the eye. The next time I'll just kill you. I like you it's the only reason you're breathing now. Please don't take my kindness for a weakness. So please inform me of your state of mind at be time."

I was so taken back by the conversation that I really had nothing valid to defend myself with.  As I sat there and thought about everything that occurred, I could come up with not one reasonable excuse. So I said what I want I finally realized in that moment.  "I couldn't bare blaming myself.  I could only comprehend and except the lost of our child when I put the entire blame on Arian.  I can sit here and play the blame game all day and night but if I am truly honest about the entire situation it was absolutely both of our faults.  I wanted to be so innocent when I lost the baby.  I thought if I blamed him it would erase my role. It did for a while but it never really did.  While everything was going on I wanted to renege on the deal plenty of times but if I am being honest, I always knew he'd forgive me.  I see why Marco hates me." I said as I put my head down tears falling down my eyes.

"Don't you think you should express those feelings to Arian."  She seemed to be bored of this conversation already with the tone she used.  She could be so blasé at times.  I guess that's just part if her mistique.

"Actually no.  I'm really trying to imagine that all of this never happened." I really wouldn't...." before I can even finish Lady stands, looks at me and pulls her gun out.  With the barrel to my head she cooley say, "well what in the actual fuck are you waiting for.  My brother deserves the truth.  He deserves happiness despite what he does for a living.  This life chose him not the other way around.  You were saved from the streets.  Show a little gratitude and talk to him.  Unlike Marco I won't joke about killing you.  I'll just do it.  Now run along and and handle your business.  I've have a godchild to see about."  With that parting short speech she departed as if we weren't even having a conversation.  She was right though I needed to talk with Arian regardless of our current situation.  If I wanted to start new I needed to start where I caused the most pain.  Here goes nothing.
