Chapter 5:Slinging Arrows
Summary: Sebastian starts to crack while Annette has a suprisng breakthrough. Kathryn and Annette have a face to face.
Madame Rose looked like a typical grandmother. But looks can be decieving and instead of a warm hearted grandmother she was a cold woman with a cash register for a heart. You had to be that type to be in the field of business she was in. She was the owner of the most profitable whore houses in the tri-state-area. Hell probably in the whole state! This afternoon it was business as usual and the girls walked about the front parlor charming up prospective clients. That's when one of her loyal customers walked through the door. Rose was suprised, she heard around that he had gotten a steady girlfriend and wasn't in the scene anymore. Rose wasn't suprised to see him back, eventually everyone came back because no guy could resist the fact that it was a ure thing with the girls here and you didn't have to put forth any effort to get them in bed.
"Mr. Valmont! What a pleasure!" Rose said smiling and walking over to greet him. She may not be the warm hearted type, but she sure could put up a front for one of her big spenders.
"Hello Rose." Sebastian said in his calm voice. For years now he came to Madame Rose's. When Sebastian was younger he practiced his love making skills on the girls. He figured if he could turn on a proffesional that he sure as hell could get some teenager excited! Even after he got older, Sebastian still came here every so often. Whenever he got burnt out by being "Master Casanova" he came here for some R&R and chilled out. It was a nice break to come here where he didn't have to put forth a charming routine to get the girls in bed. After he got together with Annette, he stopped coming here and he really didn't have any plans of ever coming back. Even after the accident, but lately he needed some sort of release and he didn't want anybody go blabbing around how he was back up to his "old ways". He knew Rose was discreet.
"The usual?" Rose asked knowingly. For years now Sebastian always asked for the same thing, a small brwon haired girl preferrably with green eyes. Later on he mixed it up with an innocent looking blonde. prefferably someone that was originally from the Midwest.Rose didn't judge, hell his requests were boring compared to some of the perverts that walked through the doors!
"No I would like a red-head." Sebastian announced to a suprised Rose. He looked away and ignored Rose's suprised look. He knew Rose prided herself for always knowing her customer's taste. He did not come here for a reminder of Kathryn or Annette. He came to get away!
Rose wisely kept her mouth shut and turned very business like. "Will that be cash or charge?"
*******************
"Oh honey!" Mrs. Hardgrove breathed exitedly.
Annette smiled up at her mother happily. She couldn't believe it herself! Annette went to her physical therapy convinced that it was all of a waste of time. She would never walk again! She thought bitterly to herself. But in the middle of her session. she began to feel a tingling sensation in her legs and the pshysical therapisr got all excited and rushed to get Annette's doctors. It seems that Annette was making the slow steps to a full recovery! It was more then likely that she would walk again! Annette couldn't contain her joy and the first thing she did was think how she had to call Sebastian! Her mom must have read her thoughts and looked at her daughter. "Do you need a moment by yourself?"
Annette looked up at her mother gratefully. "Please." Mrs. Hardgrove nodded and silently walked out the room.
Annette took a deep breath and picked up the phone sitting next to her. In the last couple of days she noticed Sebastian seemed tense and edgy, so she figured this good news was welcoming!
"Hello?" A snappish voice answered the phone.
"Yes, May I please speak to Sebastian?"
"I'm sorry he's not here. Who is this calling please?"
Not here? She just heard the news of her lifetime and he wasn't here to share it with her? Swallowing her hurt feelings, Annette tried not to let her voice show how hurt she was. "This is Annette. Can-"
"Annette?" The voice askes suprised
"Yes who is this please?"
"Why it's Mrs. Valmont!" The snappish voice turned pleasent all of a sudden.
********************
Kathryn was in a good mood. No reason really, it was just that she was on her way to go shopping and Kathryn loved to shop. So when she came downstairs and was putting her jacket on and heard her mother's fake pleasent voice came from the sitting room, Kathryn paid it no mind. She was used to it and just figured her mother was entertaining her boring society women. Just when she was gonna walk through the door her mother called out to her. "Kathryn please come in here!"
Damnit! She was hoping to make a clean getaway, but of course her mother would try and ruin that! "Coming Mother" Kathryn called out and gritted her teeth trying to muster up a pleasent smile.
"What-?" Kathryn started to ask when she walked into the room but was stopped short when she saw who exactly her mother was entertaining.
There in her own house sat Annette! What the fuck was she doing here? Kathryn never met her, only saw her by afar and really didn't need to ever meet her. "Hello." Kathryn said curiously and looked at her mother excpectantly.
"Kathryn I would like you to meet Annette Hardgrove."
"Pleasure." Kathryn curtly nodded in Annette's direction and turned to leave.
"Join us." Tiffany ordered in a pleasent voice.
Kathryn briefly paused and considered defying her mother. She should. but she also knew that she would never hear the end of it she did. Cursing under her breath Kathryn turned around and tried to look as nice as she possibly could under the circumstances. "What a lovely idea." Kathryn said sweetly and sat down as far as she possibly could from Annette.
"It's so nice meeting you." Annette said sweetly."I have heard so much about you from Sebastian."
I'll bet you did! "Well isn't a shame I never heard anything about you." Kathryn said just as sweetly. To her satisfaction she saw a hurt expression flicker in Annette's eyes.
For the next fifteen minutes Kathryn was forced to endure this tea party from hell. Just when she was abou to excuse herself the maid came into the room to inform Tiffany that she had a phone call.
"Please excuse me." Tiffany said politely."Kathryn please enetertain our guest." She said and stood up and left.
Then it became crystal clear that her charming mother planned on leaving early and needed Kathryn as back up hostess! Fucking wonderful! Kathryn waited until she was sure her mother was long gone and turned to Annette."Ok Annette enough games what the fuck are you doing here?"
Annette didn't answer at first. She sat there calmly sipping her tead and after few minutes she calmly put it down and faced Kathryn. "I have no idea what you mean. I was invited by your mother to come for some tea."
"Spare me." Kathryn said and stood up."You're as welcome here as the plague. So do us all a favor and get the hell out."
Annette's face turned bright red. Kathryn sure had her nerve! If she only knew that Sebastian gave her his journal and it was filled with Kathryn's dirty laundry! "Maybe by you, but I am sure your mother and brother have second opinion."
Kathryn laughed a short bitter laugh. "Don't be so sure Dorthy. I mean have you ever been invited since the accident?
Annette slightly flinched at Kathryn's remarks but quickly regain her composure. "Your just jealous that Sebastian turned you down for me!"
Kathryn was slightly taken back. How the fuck did she know? No doubt her sumb ass step brother probably blabbed all to Annette. "More like I didn't want him anymore. That's right Annette you are getting nothing but my sloppy seconds!"
Annette trembled with anger. "You lie Kathryn and I know it! Don't mess with me and Sebastian!"
Was Kathryn hearing right? Was this hick threatening her? Noone threatened Kathryn and lived to tell about it! "How cute defending your love." Kathryn said in that low dangerous voice of hers. "Tell me do you actually think that you two would be still together if you didn't get hit by a car?" When Kathryn saw Annette flinch she smiled cruelly and plowed ahead. "No doubt Sebastian would tire of your virgin pussy and look for someone more expirenced." When Kathryn saw Annette's lip tremble she said sweetly."Don't cry Annette as long as you have the wheelchair you''ll have Sebastian." With that Kathryn turned on her heel and left a destroyed Annette behind her.
