Chapter 19- Alicia

"So why is there a high school reunion in front of my office?" asked Alec when no one answered his first question.

I shrugged. "I came out here to kill Spidey for try to break down your door cause he woke me up from my nap." I stared daggers at Spidey, who in turn grinned at me stupidly. I rolled my eyes. "And Crazies...well I really don't know. She just appeared. "

Alec nodded slowly like he was understanding everything. "Well okay than, but now I want to ask why Limp Dipshit over here is trying to break down my fucking door." he narrowed his eyes at Spidey.

"WELL, if you had bothered to check your text messages then you'd know that your mother is on her way here ! She had me send someone to JFK 40 minutes ago! She'll be here any second." Spidey exclaimed. Alec went pale.

"Oh no." he ran into his office and grabbed the phone. The speaker on the floor sounded. "Everyone, code IVORY. I repeat CODE IVORY. This is NOT a drill, I repeat THIS IS NOT A DRILL."

As soon as Alec put down the phone the entire office went into a frenzy of cleaning, organizing and even getting fresh flowers to replace in every already filled vase.

"What the hell is going on ? I know Mrs. H was a handful back in the day but what..." I trailed off as I saw someone lugging my stuff from my office into the safe in Alec's, hidden behind a beautiful painting of the sea.

Mrs. H was always a hard ass. Nothing was ever clean enough, no grade was ever high enough, and when I got pregnant nothing I ever did during the pregnancy was right. She had to be in charge and if she wasn't than it wasn't right. But that was when we were in high school, how is it possible that she still has control over Alec after all these years. We are grown adults, hell he runs and owns this practice. Why is he running from his mother?

"Alec, is this necessary ?" I asked as I was being shoved into a bathroom with my work shirt and blouse.

"Yes," he answered also throwing my heals into the bathroom. "My mother is worse than before and the last thing I want I hear is her dumbass mouth critiquing everything in this office so she goes to bitch my father, who in turn bitches at me and than I lose half of my funding because I couldn't please my mom.  So please just change and act like a uptight snobby lawyer !"

I just blinked at him and went to go change. I didn't want this firm to go down because his mom didn't like the way I was dressed.

I quickly got dressed and did my make-up over again. Red lips, sleek hair, high-heels, tight blouse and knee-length skirt in place. I walked out with my bitchiest face and went straight to my office and made sure everything was in order.

I was done fixing my desk when I heard my door open and a pair of heels clicking against the hardwood floors. I turned to find Mrs. H standing there in all her might and glory.

She still had that permanent bitch face I remember. She was beautiful, however, with her long blonde hair, stunning green eyes, and porcelain skin. Mr. H really lucked out on the beauty, but Lord she was a force to be reckoned with. 

She approached me very carefully with her head held high, her five inch heels making the movement much more menacing than it had to be. She stopped when she was an inch away from my face. She looked me dead in my eyes and spoke to me for the first time in four years."You're lucky that you're my grandson's mother."

I swallowed and spoke after a pause. "Nice seeing you too Mrs. Handler."

She scoffed. "Nice? You've been gone seven years, depriving my son and our entire family of seeing your son? That's nice to you?" 

I wanted to strangle her. She acted as if I was three worlds away in a different dimension. I was with her husband's parents. She knew exactly where I was. I would know, I signed Christmas cards every year. 

"Listen Daisy," I used her first name which earned a gasp. "I did not completely cut you off, I sent Christmas cards with my baby boy's pictures, every year. I was with your in-laws, how in the hell could you have not known where I was. Even if you had never told your son about where I was, you definitely did. And he is not very innocent in this situation, he told me to leave, so I did."

Daisy's eyes gave me a look of confusion. "We never got any Christmas cards from you." 

I blinked at her. "Well I sent them every year. I hand wrote them and delivered them to the post office myself. You guys haven't moved and I've known that address since I was 16." 

She thought for a moment and then sighed deeply. "My husband is going to be very single, very soon."
