Okay, I hope you like this chapter. Please read and review. Oh, if you want me to start updating my other story, just tell me.

"Okay, we're here now so where should we start." Kay asked.
"Well, I was thinking that we could tell about past schemes, so we both know how far the other is willing to go. Though, I have to warn you that mine are a little extreme. You might be a little shocked." What Ivy didn't know is that she was the one who would be getting shocked.
"How about you go first. I'll tell you if you are really that devious.
Confused by Kay's comment, Ivy still started talking. She expected to see disgust or something like it on Kay's face, but instead she saw amusement. "What's so funny? I'm not making this up if that's what you think."
"No of course you aren't. It's just that I've heard about how evil you are and most of your schemes are almost child's play when compared with mine." Kay said this all and was rewarded with a confident smirk from Ivy.
"Child's play? You can't be serious. What could you have possibly done that is so horrible to make my schemes seem like child's play?" As Kay started describing all that she had done to get Miguel, Ivy's confidence turned to disbelief. She hadn't thought that anyone could be more devious than her, especially not a teenager at least half her age.
"So that's what I've done. Do you still think you're the queen of mean." Kay seemed almost cocky after she enlightened Ivy.
"Well, I would be appalled if I were like the rest of the goody-goodies in this town, but I'm sort of proud. And, I'm really glad you're with me instead of against me. I don't think I'd like having you as an enemy. It would be awkward since I already think of you as my daughter." She said the last part in an affectionate tone.
It was then that Kay knew that Ivy really did love her. She started to cry, because it seemed wrong that this woman, who she'd only really known for a little, while loved her more than her own mother.
"Oh, god what did I say? I didn't mean to make you cry. Come on cheer up, Katie." It confused her even more when Kay started crying harder. "Ok, what did I say now. I didn't mean to upset you. Please talk to me."
"It wasn't you, well not really. My father used to call me Katie, but he stopped when Charity came to town because I started distancing myself and snapping at everyone, so I guess he thought I was too grown up for that. It's just that I always loved the name and it felt like he was abandoning me a little bit." By this time she had stopped crying and was just sniffling. "I'm so sorry for freaking out like that. I probably look like a total mess now."
"It's completely okay. If you want I stop calling you that, I wouldn't want to upset you." Before she could continue Kay interrupted to reassure her. "I don't want you to stop. I love that name, and if my father won't use it then I'd be glad if you would. I already consider you more of a mother than Grace anyway."
"Well, I'm glad. Look at the time; you should probably get home before your parents send someone looking for you. I'll see you tomorrow." Ivy said this with a small smile, looking forward to seeing her surrogate daughter.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm glad I have something to look forward to after the lecture I'm going to get. Well, bye." Kay waved as she walked out prepping herself for what's to come.
