Chapter 6
It's been a couple of weeks since we got engaged and Creeper is out on club business. I'm sitting out on the back steps, drinking a glass of wine and just enjoying the silence. I'm lost in my thoughts when I feel him take a seat on the step behind me and I just lean back into him. "Hey baby." I say softly. "Hey Princess." he says before kissing the top of my head and wrapping his arms around me. "You okay?" he asks. "Yeah. Just thinking about the wedding." I tell him. "Wanna talk about it?" he asks. "I was taking to Lori about some of the arrangements and she asked me if my mom was coming." I tell him. "Have you talked to your mom?" he asks and I just nod. "She's not coming." I tell him. He leans around a little to look at me and asks "Why not?" I shake my head and say "It doesn't matter. Papa is giving me away and I'm going to be your wife. That's all I care about." I tell him. "Nah. Talk to me." he says and I turn a little in his arms. "Mom wasn't happy about me moving out here. She knew I was moving here to find Papa and she didn't want me to. She was still hurt, I guess, because he left her for the club he was in at the time. She didn't want him in the club. Or any club. I told her we were getting married and she said she would not be here to see me become a club whore." I tell him. "Princess…" he starts. "Don't. I don't care if she's here or not. I have Papa and you and that's all I need." I tell him and he just looks at me. "I'm okay with it Neron. She and I were never close. I know I'm not a club whore and I know you love me and so does Papa. That's all I need." I tell him and I move to stand before straddling his lap. "I have you and I'm going to be your wife and you're going to knock me up and I'm going to be the mother our kids deserve just like you're going to be the father they deserve." I tell him and he wraps his arms around me, holding me close before kissing me softly and he says "I love you." I smile softly and say "I love you too."
The next few days go by and Lori and I work on more plans for the wedding and we are sitting in my living room with Papa, Gilly and Neron and we are all hanging out when there's a knock on the door. I walk to the door and see my mother. "Mom?" I ask. "What are you doing here?" She walks past me and walks inside. "Sure, come on in." I say sarcastically. She looks at everyone in my living room and then sees Papa. "Che?" she asks, surprised. "Cathy. How have you been?" he asks. "What are you doing here?" she asks. "I'm helping my daughter plan her wedding." he says and I cut in. "What are you doing here mom?" I ask her. "I came to talk you out of this marriage." she tells me and that pisses me off. "Well, you wasted a trip. You're not talking me out of marrying Neron. He's good to me and he loves me." I tell her. "Oh honey, really?" she asks. "What?" I ask, exasperated already. "Do you really think anyone is really going to love you? I told you a long time ago that you were worthless." she tells me and that pisses me off. I get in her face and say "That's where you're wrong. My car is paid off and so is my house. I have my own business. I have a man that fucking worships the ground I walk on just like I do him. I have the only real father figure I ever had and that's all I need." I tell her and she scoffs. "Honey, you might want to talk to that father figure. The only reason you're here is because we were drunk. I wanted to abort you but he wouldn't let me." she tells me and I look at her confused. "When we lived here before, it wasn't the first time I was out here. The reason he was with me before was because of you. We had a fling when I was younger and you are the product of that." she tells me. "What?" she asks and I look at Papa. "Is that true? Are you my father?" I ask and he just looks down and nods. I walk over and hug him and say "Love you papa." He hugs me back and I look at my mother. "So why are you getting married. He knock you up?" she asks. I smirk at her and say "No. We're getting married because we love each other. But even if I was knocked up, I'd never tell you." I tell her. She steps forward and goes to say something else and Neron steps in front of me and says "It's time for you to leave. We have a wedding to plan and it doesn't concern you." he tells her and she glares at him. "You can get out or I can take you out." he says before Papa steps forward and leads her to the door. As soon as it's closed, I mumble "Stupid bitch." and Neron pulls me close. "Kid...I'm sorry…" he says and I stop him. "You've always been my father. She just confirmed it. Nothing changes. I'm not mad." I tell him and he pulls me into a hug and sighs in relief.
