The Only One: Chapter 13
Faith stepped away from the door, genuinely shocked to see Alicia standing there. " Alicia. What are you doing here?" faith asked.
Alicia looked at Faith as if she had asked the dumbest question in the world. She rolled her eyes and said dryly " The father of my baby is in critical condition. Where else do you think I'd be?"
There were no more fake smiles and no pretend nicities. This was the real Alicia coming out loud and clear. Cold and calculating were two words that came to Faith's mind. Alicia pulled out a compact and looked at herself and began to powder her nose. Then she took out a tube of lipstick and ran it over her already overdone lips.
Faith was caught completely off guard by her actions. I mean, here was Bosco in critical condition, maybe dying any minute, and that psycho skank was doing her makeup. It just didn't make sense. Why wouldn't she have done that in the bathroom? Faith was urked by Alicia's obvious attention to herself.
Faith was really starting to get mad. Maybe she should have kept her mouth shut, but she couldn't help herself.
" How did you know he was here? I mean who told you he was here. I only found out like an hour ago." Faith crossed her arms over her breasts, waiting for the answer.
Alicia looked up from her mirror and gave Faith a snotty look before answering. " Actually, I don't see that it's really any of your business, but Rose called me at the bar. She wanted me to come to the hospital. You see, Faith (she put real emphasis on her name), Rose and I have gotten very close sense I became pregnant. She sees me as the daughter-in-law that you will never be. She knows that Maurice and I have history together. I was his first you know" she said, with a satisfied smirk on her face. " And he may be with you now, but you will be real easy to replace" she finished, talking in a low voice so that no one could hear her and be able to repeat what had been said. That way she could gain sympathy later.
Faith felt a surge of anger pass through her like she had never known before. She stepped up to Alicia's face and pointed her finger. " You're LYING!" she spat. " I don't know what your game is lady, but I'm gonna find out. You want to replace me? Go ahead and try. Cause nothin will ever come between me and my partner. You picked the wrong girl, Alicia. You think you can mess with me? I will eat you up and spit you out! DON'T COME NEAR ME AGAIN! As for Bosco, he can deal with you in his own way. You really think he's gonna marry you?"
Alicia blinked her eyes and Faith knew she had hit a sore spot. Even so, Faith thought she'd pile on another piece of wood for the fire she was building between herself and Alicia.
Faith threw back her head and laughed. " You must be dumber than I thought. So go ahead, you little wench, and give it your best shot".
With that Faith pushed past her and headed toward the cafeteria for a cup of coffee. She was rippin mad. She didn't know if it was stress or the pregnancy, but one thing was for sure: Her animal instincts kicked in when someone was out to hurt her partner. And she knew that Alicia was out for blood. She just didn't realize yet that it was her own.
