"So what do you think huh" Ana asked Sam who was flicking the channels back and forth as she stood there.
" Sure!" Sam said when Ana to the remote control from her standing in front of her to block the television. " Ora in realtà guardi Samantha" the woman told her in Italian, 'I'MMM LOOOKKING YOU LOOK HOT DOESN'T SHE KAT" Sam shouted. Shaking her head she was happy that she took control of the situation with Cody he didn't deserve Sam.
" NO!" Kat replied coming downstairs looking her mother over as Sam eyed her nodding her head toward her mom. When the girls looked up" You going to the hospital why does it matter if your hot or not" Kat asked, because i want to look nice" Ana answered. " Do you have some hot date" Sam asked the woman couldn't help but smile as she kissed Sam on top her head.
Looking at her sister with a raised eyebrow "Ma since when do you care about your appearance" Kat asked. Taking a deep breath sit down she said taking Kat's hand as her and Sam looked at each other strangely. As the woman sat down and crossed her legs " I met someone we have only be dating a few months but i like him" Ana spoke.
They both watched her " Tell us something we don't know already Ma" Sam said, as the woman's head swung up " you knew" she asked. Sam shrugged" Well you always made sure dinner was there that i can throw it in the microwave coming home later then usual. Or carried extra lunch so i figured you were" she said, that and there was an extra pep in your step and you were smiling alot" Kat added.
Ana bended her head and chuckled " go figure " she said still shaking her head, "Is there more or do we have to have the birds and the bees conversation with you Ma" Kat said. Jumping up " YEAH AND NO MEANS NO" Sam said with a grin, oh stop it you two smart assess" Ana replies.
" So who is" Sam asked, and do we get to meet please tell me he isn't our dad Kat said with disgusted in her tone. " OH GOD NO! he is a man i met through a mutual friend and yes you girls do get to meet him soon i hope its okay with you two girls" she said. Both girls looked at her strangely " why wouldn't it be okay with us Ma" they said at the same time.
Shrugging "i don't know this is new for me" Ana says taking the remote back and putting it on MTV " its cool Ms. Ana you deserve to be happy" Sam said. " Yeah like Sammy said you do deserve to be happy Ma and if this guy makes you happy then why the hell not" Kat says. Smiling at her girls " thank you now should i stay with this outfit or the other one" she asked.
"The Green one because it goes with your eyes" Sam says with a smile, what does this guy do for a living" Kat asked. " Is he cute" Sam asked Kat looked at her incredulously " what does it matter if he is cute or not Sam does he treat her right does he work. He can look like fucking Chewbacca but what's important is he does right by her" Kat says.
Shaking her head " Alright enough no arguing he works on the docks he is a former marine and he is a very handsome man. Who treats me with the utmost respect " Ana responds as she winks at Sam who smiled then stuck her tongue at Kat. While Kat pushed her back on the sofa messing up her hair " Ma tell her to get off of my hair she is jealous that mines is better" Sam shouted.
" Katherine let your sister go" Ana said shaking her head as she walked away and up the stairs, you heard her Katherine!" the teenager said laughing. Making Kat smile as she shoved her one last time before taking the remote control from her " give it back!" Sam said. " In i minute to much tv will kill your brain cells Sammy" Kat says giving her the remote.
" That was you wasn't it that would be outside our house after she died" Kat asked, shaking his head " Yeah i wanted to make sure yous two were safe. And find that son of a bitch who got her killed" Chuck answered. " Your not going to find him fucker he won't come around until it benefits him" she says.
If you don't mind what's your dads name" Manolo asked, Cody McCall she replies as everything in the room stopped. Esmerelda covered her mouth as Manolo looked in shock so that would make your sister Samantha McCall he asked. As Kat looked around confused " Why does it matter" she asked, SON OF A BITCH" Chuck shouted punching the wall next to him.
" I'm going to kill Manny mark my word!" Chuck said, Florio shook his head " he fucking played us" he said. "What is going on" she asked, i know your father we used to be friends back in the day and he asked to be her god father" Manolo replies. Kat's eyes widened with shock " You and your sister are going to come and live with me" Chuck said facing her.
Looking over at the man " It's okay we have our own place" Kat answers, Katherine look i was going to ask your mother to marry me. And i can't do that because of that son of bitch so the only thing left for me to do is to take care of the people she left behind. That she loved more then anything i this world will you please let me do that" Chuck pleads.
" You were going to ask her to marry you but it's was only a few months" Kat said in shock, i loved your mother she was classy and beautiful she was one of a kind. It didn't matter if it was 4 months of 4 years i wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and that smile the man said getting choked up.
As the tears to form in Kat's eyes what she didn't know was Olly was watching in that moment. It wasn't that she didn't believe in love it was that she didn't trust it she only trusted what she knew and could see. This gave him just the idea to win her heart " Okay we will stay with you" Kat answered.
Moving further into the room" do you mind if i hug you, your ma always said your weren't much of a hugger" Chuck asked. She smiled " I'm not much of a hugger at all but if my mother trusted you i can trust you to so i will give you a hug. But don't make a habit out of it either" Kat says hugging him, Manolo held his wife with a smile on his face knowing.
That it had been months since Chuck smiled but now he had a renewed purpose and he knew that his friend would do anything to protect them. I'm going to go be with my sister " Kat said leaving abruptly feeling the tears her eyes as she made her way upstairs. Opening the door she found another teenager with Sam " Hi i'm Elena i hope you didn't mind i didn't want her to be by herself" she said.
" No its fine thank you but i got it from here you can go do whatever" Kat said as Elena nodded and left the room. Lying next to her sister kissing her on top the head before laying back. As the tears start to roll down her face she was exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally.
After watching her go up the stairs" Olly i want you to get rid of that car that motherfucker is going to looking for that" Chuck said. Wait mijo you said you saw them at a strip club where" Manolo asked. As Esmerelda's head swung up "WHAT! she said making Chuck turn to him as well " Why were they there" the man asked.
"I don't know but i got the impression she didn't like it very much but she was a stripper but the owner. Was hawking her and her sister who was working the bar but we didn't know it was little Sammy. All i knew was Santi didn't want to leave her at the bar so he stayed there and i took her back to the VIP room just to get the guy off her back" Olly answered.
Florio shook his head before patting his nephew on the back" I want you to find the name we gave Cody go" he said. Manolo watched his wife from the corner of his eye she was fuming he could feel it from half way across the room. " That girl upstairs is my goddaughter and she's been working at a strip club HABLAME CONO" she shouted.
