in this chapter its four years later and Kay is working on another clothing
line. Kay doesn't know it but for a year she has been followed by a guy who
was hired by Sam to find her. Read and find out the rest.
Chapter 7 *********
Its four years later. Kay had a baby girl and named her Maria. Maria is three and a half years old. Kay was working on a dress that she been trying to see what to add to it and Maira was sitting on the couch in Kay's office coloring and playing with a few toys. Kay didn't want to have her in a day care center yet. She felt Maria was to young.
"Mommy!" Maria ran over to Kay and shoved a picture into her face. "Look what I do!"
"Oh this is a very pretty picture. Let me guess that you, thats me, now who is this?" said Kay pointing to a kinda stick figured thing.
"That my daddy."
"Oh, well why don't you go and color some more."
"Ok."
Kay watched Maria bounce back to the couch and sit down and color. Kay thinks to herself, she does need a father. What she really needs is to see her real father. I wish I could go back to Harmoney but its been four years. Its to late now. Kay gets back to work. By the time Kay is done with all her work its about seven in the evening and she looks up to see Maria asleep. She puts everything away and straightens up. She gets her purse and then picks up Maria and walks out the her office, then locking it. She says goodbye to Lauren and walks to her car not noticing the guy in the car beside her. She puts Maira in her car seat and then gets in and drives off. Kay still doesn't notice the guy in the car following her. She gets to her condow, its then she notices the car. She hurrys as fast as she can go into her apartment and slams the door. She puts Maria to bed and collapses on the couch in front of the tv.

It was the next day. Kay and Lauren were going over some new sketches while Maria played on the floor.
"I love the sketches Kay. I can't wait until they get out onto the new line." Lauren looks over at Maria and smiles. "I swear Kay, Maria looks more like you everyday. She is such a sweet girl."
"Thanks. Did I tell you about last night?"
"No, what happened, you meet a guy?"
"No, when I got home, in the parking lot there was this guy stairing at me. I think he was following me because I saw the same car in the parking lot here when I left. I got scared so I ran as fast as I could with Maria asleep in my arms into my apartment."
"I am sure its nothing. Maybe he just thought you were pretty or something of that sort. You should date Kay. I mean its not healthy not to go out once in awhile."
"You know I tried dating in the first few months Maria was born. But you know how it was. I was always worried about Maria."
"Well now she is three and I know my mother would love to watch her sometime if you and I could go out and look for guys. You know my mother loves Maria like she was her own grandbaby."
"I know, I know. Well, I guess we could go out tonight or tomorrow."
"Great. Be right back." Lauren left and returned five minutes later. "I called my mother and she would love to watch Maria. We are going out tonight. PARTY!"
Kay laughed at Lauren. "You need to act your own age."
"Hey, I am thirty years old and SINGLE! I am going to live life. I mean I need to meet a guy."
"I do to. Maria needs a father in her life."
"May I ask what happened to her real father, you never really told me, I mean if you want to?"
Kay looked over at Maria who was deeply concentrated on coloring. "Well, I was in love with him. We had sex. He said it was a mistake. You see he was surposed to get married to my cousin and on the day of their wedding I found out I was pregnent. I fainted in the middle of the ceremony. I came out and told everyone. The wedding was off. Miguel told me he would be in Maria's life but still wanted to marry my cousin Charity. Well, I left my mother's home into a blizzard not wanting to deal with my mother and everything else. My mother hates me by the way. Well, I hit my head, I don't really remember where or how. I told them I would not stay under the same roof as my mother. I stayed at my friends Tabitha's house for a few hours and then Tabitha took me to the airport, she gave me some money to get on my feet and that leads me to today."
"Wow. I never really knew how much you have been through. I really feel sorry for you Kay. I mean Maria, never having any father or I mean...not in a way."
"I know what you mean but leaving was the best thing I ever did. I needed to get Maria out of my mess of a life. Her father never wanted her anyway."
"Well, I am sure he is sorry for even thinking that now. Lets get the designs finished."
The rest of the day was tiring for Kay and Lauren. They decided to go out another time since they felt they wouldn't have time to that night. They worked until about eleven at night. Kay went home and noticed she was being followed again. This time he followed her into her building. She ran to the elevator and then ran into her apartment. Who could have that been. Maybe I should call the cops or something. Nah, I should be ok. Kay put Maria to bed and went straight to sleep herself.
Next Chapter***************The guy that has been following Kay confronts her and gives her some shocking news. Kay thinks about going back to Harmoney and facing her past.
