(Okay, I have to agree with AkashaVampireQueen. This story is romance drama and I have been straying from that fact, so I thought maybe I could change the genre or add I Bordon. I 've decided to add in Bordon and possibly make Tavington drunk, sorry to those who think that this will suck.)
Ch 9
Anita woke Lillian up the next morning.
" Wake up, we have a big day ahead of us." Anita said softly.
Lillian opened her eyes and looked at Anita. Anita helped her out of bed and helped her change into a pale blue dress, which brought out the blue-green color in her eyes. Then Anita tied a white ribbon in Lillian's black curls.
" Do I look pretty?" Lillian asked.
Anita smiled back at the child.
" You look very pretty indeed. Shall we take a walk outside?" Anita smiled.
Lillian nodded and they grabbed their hats. Anita and Lillian went outside.
" Where do you want to go first? To the Dogwoods or to the boxwood path?" Anita asked Lillian.
She was so occupied in looking down at Lillian she didn't realize that she was about to collide with someone until she was knocked down on the ground.
" Oh! I'm terribly sorry!" the person apologized helping her up.
" That's alright." She said dusting herself off. Lillian was standing to the side.
" Anita! What are you doing here?" The man asked.
She looked up only to find herself face to face with James Bordon.
" What am I doing here? I live here remember." She smiled.
She almost melted under his gaze just like she used to. I
" You don't know how glad I am to see you." He sighed happily.
" Oh James I have to introduce you to someone, this is Lillian," Anita said moving behind the girl. Bordon's smile fell and he looked at her in a bit of shock.
" Who is she?" he said his voice quivering.
" Are you alright, James?" Anita asked.
" Why am I even asking you this? Look at her I mean she resembles her father so much." He spat.
" What are you talking about? You don't even know her father, this is my cousin!" Anita exclaimed. A couple of women stared at them then moved along rather quickly after receiving a dark glare from Anita.
" Oh! Is that what you're telling everyone?" James said sneered.
" What exactly are you implying?" she snapped.
" Only that the woman I gave everything to, never loved me in the first place!" he shouted at her.
" I would never do such a thing- how dare you assume that." Anita had begun to cry with anger and frustration for being publicly accused of an act she did not commit.
By now James was equally as upset as Anita but had somehow managed not to cry no matter how much he wanted to.
" I never want to see you again," James turned away from her slightly.
" Alright then, good bye Captain Bordon." Anita took Lillian's hand and went back inside.
Ebony greeted her inside the room.
" Morning ma'am." She said cheerfully.
" Ebony would you mind taking Lillian somewhere for a while." Anita asked.
" Not at all, come on Pumpkin," Ebony took the child out of the room.
As soon as the door was closed, Anita broke down. How dare he treat her like that She had merely told him the truth and just like that everything she had from him was gone. He would never be there for her any longer. She had to figure out how to survive without his support. Suddenly the door swung open and William came barging in.
" What the Hell is wrong with you!" he demanded.
" What are you talking about?" Anita asked wiping her eyes.
" I almost got demoted today for your little spat with Bordon! Honestly Anita, What were you thinking!" He cried.
" For your information it was he who started the fight about Lillian." She snapped.
" About Lillian? You were fighting about Lillian!" He smirked.
" He accused me of having a child while still seeing him." Anita said.
" Really, and who did he say the father was?" William sneered.
" You."
William's confident smile fell.
" Damn him." Then he looked at her.
" I suppose he absolutely hates you now." William snapped.
Anita nodded William sighed. He walked out of the room.
" Where are you going?" She called.
" To get my reputation back."
