"Dadde can I go park with gamma and gampa?" Madaline asked fluttering her long lashes and putting on her best pout. Troy immediately melted.
"Little girl you will be the death of me, of course you can go." Troy said giving her a kiss on the cheek before giving her some spending cash and sending her on her way. After the threesome left Troy went up to his room to check on his spouse.
"Hey babe, you up?" Troy asked cautiously, before stepping into the room. Taylor's head peeked from under the covers before facing him, her eyes red and nose swelled with tears. Smirking Troy gathered her in his arms.
"I know you're hurting sweetie, but you're so damn adorable it makes me wild." He teased much to Taylor's dismay.
"Troy this is serious, my dad is about to make the biggest mistake of his life, and your again to stupid to notice when someone is flirting with you." She berated, her shoulders slouched in exhaustion.
"What are you talking about, I know when you're flirting with me honey." He smirked, winking at her. Rolling her eyes Taylor pulled the comforter over her head again mumbling to herself something along the lines of "fucking idiot".
"Babe, I think that you and your father should have a talk." Troy coaxed trying not to upset Taylor any further, but his statement only elicited another annoyed sigh from his unruly spouse.
"Well I'm gonna go over there, and-"
"Don't you dare go over there and stay the hell away from that gutter slut Gabriella. I swear you act like you're so oblivious when someone is waving their washed up goods in front of your face. And if you think I didn't hear your statement about that whore holding my daughter then, you're mistaken!" She vehemently roared, cutting Troy off before he could finish his thought. After her outburst Troy's brow rose in wonderment.
"Ok well then I guess that's settled." Troy wisely concluded before placing a kiss on Taylor's reddened forehead.
"Don't patronize me Troy, I'm not over reacting and I swear you act as if I'm crazy or something. What if this was you, I'm sure we wouldn't be so damn peachy keen if that was your father that was marrying that…that….ugh! Woman tomorrow! I'm just so damn tired of fighting this." She pouted slumping against the wall in exhaustion.
"Then don't fight it, let your dad make his own mistakes baby. Hey maybe he's not even making a mistake at all." He said pulling her body towards his, his lithe fingers slowly creeping under her shirt.
"Don't you ever get tired you perv?" Taylor inquired slapping away his hand and turning around to face him.
"Of making love to you?...never" He simply replied hopping off the bed prepared to go downstairs to grab some grub. "You know since you're not in the mood, I could go over next door and get some Spanish lovin, you know since Gabriella wants me so much." Troy jokingly hollered up the stairs.
"Don't even joke about that, I'm already trying to pry her mother's evil claws from my father's heart." Taylor reprimanded coming down the stairs after him, wrapping her arms around her husband's waist and kissing his shoulder.
"Nope none of that Grinch, I'm waiting for my Latina lover." Troy smirked which earned him a playful slap right on his smug cheek.
"Ugh you unbearable man…hey wanna do it in your parent's kitchen?" She inquired a demure smile gracing her face.
"Hell yeah!" He replied grabbing her waist and setting her on the granite counter top, immediately nipping at the nape of her neck. Placing her hands on his shoulders, she pulled back and laughed raucously.
"Wow you really are sick." She concluded in between giggles, jumping off the counter and trudging back up the stairs, laughter shaking her body.
Troy cleared his throat in an attempt to break the uncomfortable silence. Standing Gabriella collected the dirty dishes; Troy too stood in an effort to help but was promptly pulled back down to his seat beside Taylor.
"Oh okay." He mumbled sending a small apologetic grimace Gabriella's way.
"Okay dad I'm tired of the silence, now I agreed to meet here this morning because of Troy. What's the deal? Are you guys really gonna get married or what?" Taylor inquired her expression hardened.
"Taylor me and Katina love each other." Ronald McKessie exclaimed which was immediately met with an exaggerated eye roll on Taylor's part. "And we're getting married with or without your approval."
"Since you don't need my approval I guess you don't need me to be there either." Taylor replied standing before exiting the room and making her way towards the door.
"Taylor if you do this… I'll relationship will never be the same." hollered. Taylor stopped in her tracks before exiting the front door her heels clicking down the drive way. Troy sighed and rose from the couch.
"I'm so sorry about all of this . " Ronald turned his head away in response which was a signal to Troy that it was time for him to leave.
"Troy, I'd like to see Madaline before you guys leave." Confused Troy asked what exactly he was pertaining to.
"I know my daughter Troy she won't stay for long, especially not this wedding. In fact she's packing right now." Troy nodded then exited the home in search of his wife.
"Taylor don't do this." Troy pleaded taking away a shirt she was about to place in the luggage.
"He obviously doesn't want me here; he's choosing her over me Troy so he can have his fucking fiancé." She screamed, angry tears pouring down her face.
"Fine Taylor we don't have to stay, but at least let Bella say goodbye before we leave okay." She nodded reluctantly before packing the rest of her belongings.
Pacing the hardwood floors of his home, Ronald Mckessie wrung his hands together nervously. He knew he had to make his big appearance soon, and to be honest he was scared to death. He was positive that Katina was the one for him, but between his fight with Taylor earlier and the wedding rush, he was becoming increasingly apprehensive about the whole affair.
"There goes the handsome groom." Troy announced releasing his daughter from his arms, who immediately attached herself to her grandfather's side.
"Here's my beautiful flower girl, you ready for you big job sweetheart?" He asked tickling under her chin. The tot instantly squirmed and nodded shyly.
"Gampa why momma don't want you to get marry?" Picking up the small child Ronald kissed her cheek, lovingly.
"I love your mommy very much and your mom loves me just as much…. She's just worried about me sweetie." He explained, to which Bella nodded.
"Alright Bells it's time to leave your grandpa alone so he can go get married."
Sighing he turned towards the full length mirror and caught sight of a figure behind him.
"Daddy" Turning Ronald Mckessie came face to face with his daughter.
"Oh Pumpkin" He mewled, observing her tear tracked face. Wrapping her arms around his neck she sobbed into his shoulder, gripping his frame viciously.
"Daddy please I'm sorry I don't want us to not talk, but please don't do this. Not with her, she doesn't deserve your love." Releasing her, he stared at his daughter with sadness.
"I don't want to spend my life alone Taylor, Katina loves me and I love her. Please be happy for me Pumpkin." He pleaded with her.
"I can't do that." She replied wiping away her tears.
"If you don't accept her, you don't accept me." He fired back.
"Then I guess, that's how it is huh." She replied right before the violins started indicating it was time for him to get in place.
"Go live your life dad, and I'll live mine." She said turning away from him and walking out the door.
