The Madness Of Desire

Chapter 13~I got you~

Molly's P•O•V ~Earlier in the day~
That stupid Bitch. I call to make a fake peace offering and she doesn't even acknowledge it. I'll leave her be. She will feel my pain. I stopped calling her phone, and shoved my phone into my bag.

I walked into the wig shop. "Hello, my name is Janelle. How may I help you today?" A woman asked. "I need twelve different lace fronts. Surprise me with the styles," I smiled. She nodded her head and I followed her to the back. I sat down in a chair where she put on a wig cap and helped me try different wigs.

"How's this one working for you?" She asked. I smiled as I played with the hair. "It's perfect," I smiled. "Wait. Do you have any of those carrying cases?" I asked as I walked to the cashier. "Yes. How many will you like?" She asked. "Twelve for all of my wigs," I said. Her eyes widened in shock.

"Are you sure? They're very expensive," she said. I nodded my head and pulled out My American Express card. "Please hurry. I have an appointment to get to," I said. She nodded and moved quicker.

I carried all my things out of the shop and placed eleven in the trunk of my car. I have one wing on my head. I jumped into the front seat and drove. I have to go see a real estate agent. I'm moving into a bigger home in a very beautiful area.

I arrived at the house I've bought; I'm going to my agent to get the keys. I pulled up to the house and parked in the front. I pulled out my makeup bag and quickly changed my look. I stepped out of the car to see my real estate agent waiting. "Here are your keys. I hope you enjoy your new home," he smiled.

"Thank you. I will," I smiled as I grabbed my new keys. I have the camera man and the builders coming in an hour. They're both people that owe me a favor; so it stays between us. I've been trying to keep this whole thing discreet. New home, new me.

Kenzie's P•O•V
Theo and I stood outside of my parents house, I held my breath as I knocked on the door. My mother opened the door with a shocked look on her face. "Hello, you look lovely today," Theo smiled as he stepped towards her. She smiled brightly and twirled her hair with her finger.

"I know. I always look good. Please come in," she said as she stepped to the side. He took my hand with his free hand and walked into the house. "Theo, can I have a minute to speak with my daughter?" She asked. "Of course," he smiled as he walked towards the dining room.

"Kenzie, why didn't you tell me you were bringing Theo Collins?" She asked in a harsh whisper. "Mom, I told you that I'm bringing my boyfriend," I stated. "Yes I remember. I just didn't think you were serious about him," she said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"You're a very...how do we say it. Free spirit. I thought this was a little fling," she added with a shrug. "What are you saying? Are you trying to say I sleep around? Because I'll have you know that; that is far from the case!" I growled. My voice grew higher as the anger boiled up. "Ken! You're here," Lacie smiled awkwardly as she walked into the entryway.

She looked at my mothers face then glanced at mine. Her face tensed as she grabbed my arm and lead me away. "Thank you. I think if I stayed there any longer I would've snapped," I sighed. She patted my back as we walked towards the dining room. "It's okay. Theo and I will be right there if anything," she smiled.

I stopped half way once I saw Rose. She's smiling up at my Father holding a present for him. Theo's standing in front of the door waiting for me; he took my hand as we walked in. The room went silent once I stepped in. Rose silently stared at me.

"Kenny! My beautiful Babygirl!" He smiled as he walked towards me with open arms. I hugged him tightly but kept my eyes on Rose. He let me go and smiled between Rose and I. "It's nice to see both my girls in the same room for once," he smiled. "Kenzie," she finally spoke.

She smiled brightly at me. "Rose," I whispered as I hugged her. "Kenzie I just wanted to say that I forgive you for what happened. You were young and it wasn't your fault," she whispered. I've been waiting to hear this for so long. I felt a pressure rise off my chest.

My mother walked into the room with her fake smile. She only pulls it out when she's talking
to her fake friends at the country club. "I made your father's favorites. Now that we're all here dinner can finally start," she said. We all took our seats. My father at the head of the table, my mother next to him ,across from me, my sister and Lacie next to her, and Theo next to me.

The maid came in and place the food on the table. Curry goat, ox tail, Pelau, and roti. My parents are from Trinidad. My mothers half white but she was born in Trinidad with my father. They came here at 19 and he built his company from the ground up.

"I am beyond happy to see all of you here today," he smiled. We haven't been all together in a very long time. "Theo, how did you meet my um-daughter?" She asked. I slammed my fist on the table and stood up from my chair. "Are you kidding?! My um?! Im your daughter Mom! You're first born child! Rose has forgiven me; why the fuck can't you?!" I shouted.

"Forgive you! Is that some form of a joke? How the hell can I forgive you for ruining this family? Hmm?! You messed up a young girls life with your selfishness!" She shouted back. "You're the only one ruining the family!" Theo said. "Do not talk to me like that in my house!" She growled.

"No. You'll watch your tone when you're speaking to her. The stress you've placed on her is evil and disgusting! You dare call yourself a mother while you treat one like shit! You fucked up this whole dinner all because you couldn't be kind to her for a few hours! Come on Kenzie. You don't have to stay here with someone who hates you; for something that's not your fault," he said.

"Oh and sir. I'm so sorry for shouting but I couldn't allow Kenzie to be attacked. One last thing though, Throughout all the shit you put her through, she's still managed to love and respect you. So learn to do the same for her or don't call back," he added. He took my hand leading me away towards the door.

Lacie came rushing behind us with a plate in her hands. "Text me when you get home. I'm gonna go eat in my car out of respect for you both," she smiled. He let go of my hand and placed it over my shoulder. I looked up at him with my tear stained face, "it's okay. Ive got you no matter what," he said.

"You didn't have to help me. I'm used to her yelling at me; I could've handled it,"I shrugged. He shook his head and held on just a little tighter; "No. I care for you too much to allow anyone to drag your self-esteem down," he whispered.

He let go of me and opened the car door for me. I lightly smiled as a sign of thanks as I got in the car. We drove in silence for the rest of the ride home.
