Family Man

Chapter 37

                            Silly Ho'

Teesha exhaled after Michael left. She rushed to the kitchen and spilled her guts out in the trash can. This was something she dreaded for so long knowing how Michael would feel about this freak conception.  She still couldn't wrap her head around why something like this would happen. She wanted to question God,but thought she better not. Babies were blessings no matter the way hers were created.  She rinsed her mouth out and drunk a glass of water afterwards.  She rushed upstairs to wash her face she wanted to put on a sundress and change her sandals,too. All the while she undressed she thought about Michael's question.  'Do I love him? "She sighed. "I can't do this right now."She fretted . "I have to be perfect for, Le'Lani. I can't let her see me shaken up like this."She winced out lowly.  She looked in the mirror at herself took another deep breath then exited her room going back downstairs. She grabbed her purse and keys approaching the foyer. She opened the door slightly. "Uhh, the garbage!"She groaned. " I can't leave that vomit sitting there."she sighed leaving her purse on the table and the door cracked open slightly.  She ran to the kitchen taking the dirty bag from the trash tin replacing it with a clean bag. She tied the bag up and walked back to the foyer. She also grabbed her purse then put her hand on the door knob and turned it.

"Going somewhere? "Kimbra said as she walked from the den.

Teesha turned around slowly. "What  are you doing in my house?"Teesha dropped the trash bag adjusting her purse on her shoulder.

"Well...I figured I was invited, since you left the door open for me."She told her.

"OK. You're not wanted. Now leave!"Teesha hissed frowning with fury.

"No. Once I do what I've come to do then I'll leave,but not a minute before."Kimbra exclaimed.  "You're always a victim.  You never do shit! And you have Michael wrapped around your finger and I thought he was a man."She scoffed shaking her head.

"I'm not discussing Michael with you. I'm giving you an opportunity here. You're trespassing and I have the right to bear arms when I feel threatened.  So you pshyco bitch leave my house!"Teesha screeched.

"Hahaha. I forgot you like to pull out guns. Hmmm."She sighed and rolled her eyes. Well... just to let you know,I came prepared as well." she swung her arm with her hand clutched around the gun. "I don't want to use this,but you mean nothing to me, so I will."she shook her head. "You've turned Michael against me. I'm the woman who put life back in him, where you brought him down. He chose you over me. Look at your fat ass."she scoffed "What is he thinking? "Kimbra asked

"Do you hear yourself? You conspired with that crazy motherfucker.  You knew his plan and did nothing to help anyone. He's dead because of you and you come here and blame me because my husband don't want your crazy ass. Girl,bye! You're lucky Michael prevented you from escaping jail time.But in my opinion a psych ward is a place you should be."Teesha exclaimed.

Crazy?  Me? You've lost your mind. You played the victim and now Michael hates me.  I tried to help you while we were kidnapped.  I was held against my will,too,but that doesn't matter to you,LAPD or to Michael.  Where was my concern in all of this? And to top it off Michael blames me for what Jarvis did to you. I told him to stop. I begged him to leave town!"She exclaimed raising her voice.

"No."Teesha shook her head. "You did nothing so Jarvis would kill me and Michael would easily stay with you. That was really the plan after all. If you wanted to turn him in you had from the time he showed up at your suite till the time he kidnapped me. I have no pity for you. Now get the hell out of my house!"Teesha said fiddling around in her purse until it dropped to the floor as she pulled her gun out.

Kimbra was quick on the draw, too with her gun pointed and aimed directly at Teesha. "So what... I held that information back..  I'm not FBI.  It wasn't my place to tell them shit! And so what if he had of hurt you. You fucked your husbands coworker you deserve far worse. And what a lowlife he is for even wanting you."She exhaled. "You can point that gun all you want. You can call me every psychotic bitch in the book,but I'm not leaving here until you agree not to take Michael back.  He belongs to me and I'm not letting him go!"She yelled.

An hour later Michael was at Katherine's.  He sat on the floor with his daughter when Katherine walked in the family room. She smiled as she eased down on the couch. She looked at Michael and his daughter and she giggled at how her granddaughter squealed at the top of her lungs. "She misses times like these Michael.  Are you and Teesha any closer to resolving your differences? "she asked.

"I'm hopeful mother,but the hurt I caused isn't something she can forgive so easily.  I don't know what else to do. Now with the Twins situation...."he sighed. "I don't know if I'm accepting of this."He expressed plainting a kiss on his daughters cheek as she giggled and ran off to another room.

"Son you want forgiveness for your mistake, but you can't accept hers. Do you think that's fair? I know I raised a stubborn son,but I also raised a forgiving son. You're wrong was just as bad, so if she's willing to accept yours you should do the same." Katherine chastised him. "Where is she? She told me she would be here and it's not like her to not show."Katherine asked glancing over at the clock.

"She'll be here I'm sure. Today was hard for her,so I'm sure she just need a moment before she faces us."Michael exclaimed, but he thought deep down that maybe Jesse was the reason for her tardiness.  That wasn't the case,but he wasn't far from returning to Michael and Teesha's home....

"Look we can stand here for hours and I can say whatever you like, but when Michael makes up his mind it's no  changing it. I'm married to him, I know him better  than his own mother. So  this vendetta against me won't bring you any closer to him. I have nothing to do with his decision."Teesha exclaimed.

"Is that fear I hear?"Kimbra laughed.  "You know shit about Michael! Especially about our relationship. So save the theatrics,because you bore me."Kimbra rolled her eyes with a sarcastic yawn.

"For the life of me I have no clue why I entertain a silly ho' like you.  And to think I was jealous. "She laughed. "You're a lunatic and you obviously have a problem.  Kimbra you held on an affair with my husband for months and I've barely had a chance to whip your ass. I definitely don't need a gun to handle you."Teesha said as both women were startled by the door bell followed by a knock on the door, and lastly Jesse's pleas for Teesha to open the door. Teesha turned slightly about to grab a hold of the door knob only to be ambushed by Kimbra  lunging towards her with a loud screeched as her gun fell from her hands. Teesha stumbled into the door as her face crashed into the side of the paneling causing a bruise to appear on her jaw.  She scuffled with her gun as Kimbra forced it out of her hands. She pulled Teesha's hair and yelled out that Michael was hers and only hers. Teesha built up enough force,but couldn't screamed out with her mouth being covered with Kimbra's right hand. She used the weight of her body to push off of the door and fall backwards on the floor landing on top of Kimbra.  During the scuffle Teesha's mouth was free and given the chance, she screamed out for help ,which alerted Jesse. He was in a panic as he banged on the door yelling out to Teesha. Within seconds of another cry out from Teesha,Jesse slammed his fist into the glass on the door  sticking his hand inside as he scuffled to unlock the door. Kimbra continued her hold on Teesha only now she was making an attempt to get away. Jesse finally had the lock separated from the door and just as it opened, Kimbra lifted off  the floor leaving Teesha's head to fall  hitting the hardwood floor. Then she ran through the house to the kitchen and out of the back door. Jesse saw only a glimpse of the perpetrator ,but he knew it was a woman. His only focus now was not on his profusely bleeding hand, but on how badly Teesha was hurt....
