Only My Lunatic Fringe

Chapter 32: Faye.

Dean's POV.

"Come on Seth! Just tell me where she is." I ask him for the millionth time today.

"Sorry bro, but she made me promise not to tell you." He simply shrugs making me want to go all TLC on him.

"It is bros before hoes...." Roman trails and takes a sip of his beer. 

"Yeah, but that hoe made me promise not to tell you or else she'll chop my balls off." He says with a terrified look.

"Don't call my wife a hoe." I mutter and fall on the couch.

Seth just responds by rolling his eyes when Roman and Seth engage in another conversation.

I defer from listening and my mind spins off.

Where could she go? I don't think she knows other people-

"Fine!" Seth screams in exasperation.

"Fine what?" I ask him and he curses under his breath.

"Kat is probably on her way to Chicago by now. She already picked up Kathleen. She wanted to put some space between the both of you." He sighs and takes a sip of his coffee.

"I need a ride to the airport." I state and immediately book a flight to Chicago on my cellphone.

*****

On the airplane I keep bouncing my leg up and down in the act of nervousness.

"We are about to land in Chicago. Please fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the view."

I stare out of the window at the orange sky since it is almost sundown.

Once the plane landed, I quickly put on my sunglasses and a black hoodie to avoid people recognising me. 

The rental car is already waiting so I just sign it off and put the address of Kat's hotel in the GPS, which Seth gave me.

While I am driving, I practice my speech that I am about to give Kat.

But to be honest, I don't even know why she is upset. I know it is a shock that I allegedly have a daughter, but it won't even make a difference.

And Faye did cheat on me countless of times so it isn't even a guarantee that it is mine. 

I sure hope not.

When I reach the hotel room, my hands are literally shaking. Just when I am about to knock, a baby starts to cry.

"Come on Kathy, calm down. Please." I hear Kat plead with our girl.

I knock three times.

"Coming!" Kat yells and when she opens the door, her eyes go wide.

She is in leggings and one of my sweaters. Her hair is in a messy bun and she has dark circles under her eyes.

"Kat." I say and she glares at me.

"What are you doing here?" She asks while Kathleen is still crying.

"I want to talk." I say, but her tiredness probably over clouds her judgement and normal stubbornness, since she immediately lets me in.

Kathleen is still crying.

"Give her here." I say gently and take my girl in my arms.

She stares at me with her bright blue eyes and immediately stops crying. I sit with her on the couch and Kat goes into the bedroom.

Kathy's eyes starts dropping close while I am softly talking to her.

"Sleep my baby, Daddy is here." I whisper and I swear a smile grace her face.
