I'm finishing this late, so if anything is misspelled or doesn't make sense, forgive me trying not to fall asleep while typing. Though I do feel I could have done more with this chapter. Hope you enjoy regardless and let me know what you think. Have a great night!
Do What You Do
Two weeks later Whitney was packing up the kid's things to go to their father's for the weekend. She and Kevin still haven't really had the chance to talk because he was now filming in Florida. He was supposed to be coming back this afternoon and he would call her when he reached home. Two of them both agreed to making it work for their children until they decided what to do. Right now she was in their rooms while BK sat on her bed with her dolls asking questions and KC was on the floor playing with his cars. Her mother had offered to go along with her to bring the kids, but Whitney insisted that she take the day off and enjoy the California weather.
"What are we going to do this weekend mommy?" asked BK
"I don't know what your dad has in store for you? You guys might go to the movies or the zoo"
"You think he will buy us some toys too?"
"I bet he will"
"You'll be with us too huh?"
"No baby I won't"
"Why not?"
"Remember I talked about it with you and your brother, Daddy and I are taking some time away from each other. "
"Oh yeah now I remember"
"We still love you guys very much"
"When are we going to go back home for good? I miss daddy a lot!" asked BK
"Not right now at least and he misses you both too."
Whitney really didn't want to delve into this conversation she was having with her eight year old daughter too much. Who knew if she or her brother could really understand what was going on. Her eldest children from Kevin's side didn't like what was going on either, but they all understood that it was between she and Kevin.
"Come on baby go get your knapsack"
"Can I take my toys with me?"
"You have toys at home"
"Yeah but I want to take these too"
"Fine honey you can only bring one"
"Aww mom" BK whined
"Come on go, and you mister where are your shoes?"
"I don't know"
"Did you leave them in the living room?"
"I tink" KC told his mother not really paying attention to her
"Alright let's go look for them" she picked her son up and they walked out the room
A little while later Whitney and her kids were in the car driving over to meet Kevin at the house.
Right now she is on the phone with one of her managers from the record company who keep begging her to start working again.
"I'm sort of going through something right now, so I don't know when I'll return again. What is this show called again? American Idol I don't know, I've never done something like that before. But I'll think about it promise. Just tell him that I will give him a call Monday morning and for him not to worry, alright then bye. Whitney hung up the phone and focused on the road again.
"Are you two good back there?" she asked the kids
"I'm hungry" BK said
"Me too" came from KC
"You just ate an hour ago"
"I'm hungry again!" BK repeated
"Wait until we get to Dad's house and he'll have something for you guys"
"Are we there yet?"
"Almost baby"
Not long after the family arrived and Whitney got the children out of the car. She then took down their little suitcases and they all headed to the front door. Whitney rung the door bell instead of using her key, she didn't want to just walk in even though it was her house too. She wanted to respect her decision of moving out and she hoped that Kevin respected it too. When there was no answer after a few rings that is when she used her key and brought the children in.
"Hello? Kevin are you here?" she said out into the house, again there was no answer, after a few moments she took her cell phone out and dialed his number.
"Hello" Kevin said answering
"Hi Kevin where are you?"
"Nice to finally speak with you too Whitney, I'm great"
"I'm here with the kids at the house but your not here" she said ignoring what he just said
"Wait I thought you were bringing them tomorrow night?"
"No Kevin my mother told you I was bringing them Friday night which is today"
"Damn, well I'm sorry but I won't be home until later around midnight. We were behind schedule"
"And this is exactly what I've been talking about"
"Oh come on Whitney I am working here"
"That's right your working, your never around"
"I don't want to argue"
"Neither do I"
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Nothing like always"
"That's not fair Whitney"
"A lot of things are unfair for us"
"Look why don't you and the kids wait for me and stay the night? We can finally talk about what's going on between us"
"I'll wait until we get to counseling besides we can't stay, I have plans"
"Plans?" they were going to argue regardless anyway
"Yes I have plans tonight"
"With whom?"
"I think that is my business"
"Fine, your right, I mean we've only been separated for almost two months and already your moving on"
"Kevin if I would be moving on you would have gotten the divorce papers"
"Why are you doing this to me Whitney? Come back home, I miss you and I miss the kids so much"
"Because Kevin you haven't shown me that you want me back"
"I haven't?"
"No you haven't because if you did you wouldn't be in Miami in the first place"
Whitney ended the conversation not long later and took the kids back to their hotel. Afterwards she canceled her night out and decided to take the kids out to eat. When Kevin gets back tomorrow they will have a sit down and finally talk. She just hoped it wouldn't leave to anything that could make things worse for them.
