Stef's: POV
When arrived back home from the grocery store l see a unrecognized car parked across the street. Instantly my police instincts kick in quickly,
I don't need any surprises today
Me and Lena plan relaxing for the remainder of the day watching movies. And later have a nice meal together, l listen to bill's voice mail message on my phone. He didn't go in detail
I wonder how did know to contact me, we haven't spoken to bill in eight years. I'm hoping he's wanting us to fostering again. Because where leaving in two weeks, as I'm unloading the groceries from my trunk.
I unlock the front the door and carry everything inside,
Everytime bill was in a bond
He would always look to us to bail him out of a jam.
This time l have to stand my ground, Lena says l don't know how to say no to people. Which is the truth. I hear the door bell ringing, l peck through the curtains and there l see bill standing on my porch. With a young girl that looks about nine or ten years old, she's light skin with long brown hair.the nerve of this guy showing up to our home on a Sunday, out of all the days of the week. I open my door
We spoke to each other, as soon as bill starting talking. I was about to cut him off,
I wanted to be choose my words wisely in front of this little girl
I allow them to come inside
Instead having this conversation out in the open. I don't want to talk to loud and wake up Lena
She's cranky when she is woken to a lot of noise. We all sit down in the living room, Bill explains Taylor's situation to me, l listen to everything he's saying right now. Taylor asks to use the bathroom, l show her where's it at. I lay my cards on the table and let him know l can't help him out, he tells me it would only be for a couple of weeks. I'm.trying to do everything in my power not to lose temper. I told bill me and Lena are going out of country he looks at me as if he doesn't believe what I'm saying
Bill l don't owe you or anybody else an explanation. Stef says
Now Stef l do recall a certain incident that took place between
Callie and Brandon a few years ago. Where l covered for you and Lena, l risk my job to protect your secret. You owe me big time
Bill replies, l can't believe this
Bill is testing my patience.
He comes into my house and start making demands, what bill doesn't know we have a surveillance camera hidden
Taylor comes out of the restroom
Bill I'm going to ask you nicely to leave now.Lena's: POV
I was lying in my bed sound asleep. When I heard Stef's voice
Talking to another person, and l couldn't make out what it sounded like a man talking
When Stef say bill, my initial reaction was to go downstairs to find out what the hell was going on. First of all, we haven't heard or spoke to bill in years, and how did he know where lived at. This was typical of bill, to do this
Usually he would call first. What could he possibly wait, after all this time? I hope he's not looking for us to foster another child again. Me and Stef have decided we were no longer going to take anymore kids in, all of our children are grown. I pray to God that Stef tells him no, this was the last l needed to deal with on a Sunday. Since we got back home yesterday, all we were going to do. Was wash clothes and watched movies on Netflix, and l have a lovely Sunday meal together. Now bill is trying to blackmail Stef throwing up the situation between Brandon and Callie, that happened many moons ago. I took a deep breath
It seems like the universe is trying to throw a monkey wrench in our plans, you will not win this battle today Satan. You are a liar and a snake. We shall win this battle in Jesus name l remember when I was a little girl
My mother would say this. When things weren't going as plan
There's no use for me to go back to sleep now. I mind as well take a bath.
