Women that say No

Chapter 47

I kept having to remind myself to take things one step at a time but I couldn't seem to shake the feeling of being overwhelmed!

Power and I had the most beautiful mommy and me breakfast and I was reminded of just how mature and intellectually developed my baby boy was. One would have never guessed he was the product of rape.

We arrived to my parents house a bit late but that was nothing out of the ordinary for the birthday person. My mother and father had done a magnificent job decorating for Power with the Batman theme from balloons and jumping houses they had really outdone themselves.

My mother had invited a good bit of the neighborhood kids and to my surprise there Angela was with Rj and Kay enjoying the festivities as if the custody dispute and many other factors weren't occurring.

"There goes the birthday boy! Just dive right on in!!" Said my mother kissing and hugging Power.

"Where's dad?" I asked.

"He's not feeling very well so he's lying down. With all the decorating he over exhausted himself. He just needs a little nap, give him a hour or two!"

Hearing those words dampened my spirit and I could see the disappointment in Powers face.

"Papi okay? Will I get to see him today?" He asked looking up at my mother.

"Yes Ofcourse And If he isn't up in a hour we will just have to go wake the giant. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."

"Promise?"

"Mami promises!" My mother assured giving power a even bigger hug before sending him off to enjoy the festivities.

"Mom I've been meaning to tell you something."

She replied, "Is now really a good time Madison?" Without even giving me eye contact.

"I think it's really now or never."

"What is it Madison?"

"Ms.Charlotte is in town and she really would like to see Power. She's been threw so much and experienced all of those losses, I think she's seeking closure with peace."

"Tell me you didn't invite her to my home?"

"Madison are you crazy! How do you know what this woman's intention are!?"

Sighing deeply I tried to avoid this bickering, "Mom just give her a chance. She has really been threw a lot and I feel partial to blame."

I could tell my mother was trying religiously to withhold the anger boiling within, but it was written all over her face.

With little to no time left to absorb Rick was appeared with Ms.Charlotte and unbeknownst to me Ericka entering the party.

The breath nearly left my body as I gulped hard attempting to do the same as my mother by withholding my anger, but it was incomplete.

Seeing the two people I despised walking side by side next to mS.Charlotte made my blood boil.

"Hello Madison!" Ms. Charlotte smiled greeting me with open arms.

"Hello, I need you all to follow me!" I demanded in the most unfriendly manner making eyes with Ericka directly. She looked like a kid being parted from their parents but I was moving to quickly making them cycle in a u turn heading back to where they had just entered threw the side backyard gate.

I was so angered that Rick didn't even dare speak when I first approached he dropped off like a fly, getting out of my path of destruction.

The moment we made it out of sight of the party's guest, I turned sharply stopping us all in our tracks with an expression to kill.
