Chapter 4
"His name was Nathan. Nathan West. Probably the most handsome guy I sold painting to. He was also a two. He was probably one of my best clients. He never paid late and was always on time. Sometimes even earlier. " Kenna was in awe. She was telling me the story of some mystery guy that she loved long time ago. "I knew I had a major crush on him, I just didn't know how to tell him. Later I found out he liked me as well. He brought me flowers and he showed me his favourite spots in Carolina. Apparently his mother found out and forbid him to come near me, buy paintings, or even see me. I did truly love him but the world pushed us another way. It was probably for the better anyways." Kenna looked hurt. I knew what it felt like to lose someone. But there was still a question burning in my mind.
"Wait. When did all this happen?" I never recalled her getting flowers or going on trips.
"If you paid more attention you would know." Kenna's face was challenging me. I tried to think back to before Kenna met James. I finally got it. For awhile Kenna was fighting with mom and she stayed at the studio. It made sense. Her feelings were all annoyed and angry. This Nathan guy must have pulled her out of the trance.
"Was it when you stayed at the studio?" I was sure of myself at that point.
"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!" We both busted out laughing. It felt good to laugh on this situation.
We stopped as soon as we heard knocking. Mom came in. She looked as hurt as me when Maxon told me to leave.
"America dear, I'm sorry. I know how these past few days have taken a toll on your mood." her eyes were swelling up with tears. "It was just so much easier when he was here." then the waterworks came. I knew that dad's death had been painful for her, for all of us. I guess I should have been less attitudey at her.
"It's okay mother. I should have been less emotional." I didn't know how to put it. I was rude but I wouldn't say that was what I was being as a whole. I gave her a hug and we started talking about one of her recent parties.
Apparently a guy was flirting with mom indiscreetly in front of his wife. I would have loved to watch that. She said she was uncomfortable and decided that his wife letting her live was payment enough. At times like this, its when I want to be home the most.
Don't worry guys I'll add Maxon and Aspen in later. So...Kenna has a past lover? He will definitely be in the story. Thanks to Fandomnation12 for giving me an idea! Don't worry the story will get better so keep read. I do love your thoughts and ideas, so please review. Now I should probably stop talking before you get annoyed. Bye! ;)
