Two Pink Lines

Chapter 14

The Results

Chance is off to the airport and I'm all showered.  I decide to go down to the club and do some work.  Styles is going on vacation for a month he's flying out to see his family so me and Sean are on our own or more like I'm on my own.  Sean don't like to do any paperwork.  Maybe I can get Zoey to help out if she's feeling better.

I get my purse and drive down to the club.  I go to unlock the door and I don't have my keys.  That's when I remember I left them at my parents house.  I hung them on the key hook beside the front door.  Back in the car I go.  It takes me about 20 minutes to get to my parents house.  I hope I can sneak in and get the key without Ma seeing me because once she starts talking I want make it back to the club to get any work done.

When I pull up there is a car in the drive way.  My mother must have company probably one of the ladies from her social club.  Its close to six so I know my father is home he must have his car in the garage with my mother's car.  I may just make it in and out without being seen if they having dinner or in the sitting room.

I open the door and stick my head in and look around.  Good Lana the maid must be in the kitchen or may be gone I didn't see her car either. If she's gone I wonder who cooked dinner because I know my mother didn't. I see the keys on the hook and as I reach for it that's when I hear arguing coming from the sitting room.

As I walk up to the entrance of the doorway I hear a woman's voice yelling how can you stand there and be so dam calm when your wife has a baby by another man!

Then I hear my father say what happens between me and my wife is between us.  You need to deal with your own fucked up mess!

I can also hear crying and I think its my mother.  I want to go in but I'm frozen where I stand.

Well guess what if she would have kept her fucking legs closed I wouldn't have been in this fucked up mess!

BETH!  I hear another male voice say.

Wait a minute.  He said Beth.  Is that Chance's mother in there? 

You want to put all the blame on Rosa now stop it.  Before you go to far.

No, don't tell her nothing my mother says. Now you can think what you want of me but I'm telling you for the first and last time Beth!  You made it clear the last time you was here how you felt about me. So your not going to keep coming in my home and talk to me or about me any kind of way no matter what I have done.  Your going to need to control your tongue until you feet hit that front door.  We all here because we have some serious issues to deal with.  There's nothing you can say that will make me feel worse then I already do.  But mopping this floor with your little prissy ass might make me feel better.

Are you threatening me Beth says.  Randy are you going to let her talk to me like that?  There was no response.  She goes on to say what is wrong with you men that you refuse to stand up to this....this woman.

We aren't here to call names and point fingers says my dad.  We have to tell our children what's going on.  Now how are we going to deal with this. 

Our children Beth chuckle OUR CHILDREN!  You don't have a say in this because she's not your child she says to my dad.  She's the product of an affair that your wife and my no back bone ass husband had behind our back.  Now I have to tell my son that he may be fucking his fucking sister she says angrily.

Beth shut up!  I'm' so sick of hearing you whine. We all know that this is a fucking mess and you being a nasty b*tch not helping says Randy.

 I hear footsteps but I'm frozen where I stand like my feet are in cement.  Beth comes around the door in a rush and crash into me.  She looks up with tears in her eyes. 

Oh God! I'm so sorry! and she backing back into the sitting room.

All the parents came to she who she was talking to and see me standing there.

LEXY! my mother says. while reaching to hug me. 

I pull away is this true?  I ask.

She's crying and I'm now crying.  She shake her yes.  I break down more. I look at the man that's my father my real father.  Randy steps forward to say something. 

NO! I don't want to hear it.  I don't want to hear anything from you or her talking about my mother.

Lester my mother says.  He then steps up and I just fall to pieces and he holds me so tight. 

Come on let's go to my office and talk.  He slowly walk me to the office. We go in and he shuts the door behind us.  We sit on the sofa while he rubs my back while I cry like a baby.  I finally calm down enough to speak. 

How are you so calm about this how long have you known?

Since you was born or I suspected when you was born but I had my hopes that you was still mine.

And why would you keep this from me for this long?

Because I was in love with you before you was born.  Feeling you move around in your mother stomach was priceless and when I saw you for the first time it was love at first sight.  You will always be my daughter Lexy.  And I was scared of losing my family to another man.  I was scared of losing you to Randy.  And to be honest I till am.  What if you forget all about me?

Your the man who raised me and loved me all these years.  Nothing would have ever changed that I love you just as much as you love me.  Parents don't realize that there kids are in love with them just as much as parents are in love with there kids.  And if I ever grow to love Randy that doesn't mean I will ever love you any less.  You'll should have just told me.

Lexy thinks back to her afternoon she spent with Chance and the things they did. 

Let me get the others so we can talk about this Lester say.

No, I have to go I can't face them.  I can't stand to look at that woman.

Lexy you may have two fathers but you only have one mother no matter what.  And she has been beating herself up and letting he explain.

Explain what that she cheated on you.  I don't want to hear it.  I jump up and run for the office door.  When I get in the hall my mother is standing in the hall and Randy and Beth comes out the sitting room.  I make it past my mother who is calling my name for me to stop.  My father Lester is following close behind. 

I grab my keys and hand bag and swing the front door open running for my car.  I mange to get in the car and shut the door before all my parents make it to the car.  My father Lester is at my car window trying to stop me but I start the car and speed off. 

I look in my rear view mirror and see my father holding my mother and Randy standing close by looking as I drive away.
