Chapter 15
OoOoOoOoO
TWO MONTHS LATER.
OoOoOoOoO
"Mommy!" Trinity came running into the kitchen carrying a yellow flower.
"What is it baby?" Miss Parker looked at her daughter and smiled. "Is that for me?" she asked as she saw the flower.
Trinity stared at her mother. "No," she said harshly. Miss Parker gave her a hurt look. "No?" she asked.
"It's for Jarod," Trinity said. Miss Parker just nodded. "Then why don't you go to him? He's in the garden," she muttered and turned away from the child. Miss Parker felt sad. She knew she shouldn't, Trinity was getting better every day. But she couldn't help but feel hurt when her daughter kept doing these things. Miss Parker sighed, she should have gotten used to it by now, Jarod was the kid's favourite now… and all of it was Tyrell's fault…
The sun was shining constantly in Texas, and the house located outside of Corpus Christi was beautiful with its wooden walls and its huge porch, looking out over the water.
Miss Parker should be happy, but there was something bothering her. They hadn't heard anything from the Centre, and Miss Parker hadn't heard anything from Tepicore either. She started to believe they were safe here. Sydney and Broots knew the truth, but Miss Parker thought they were safer without knowing exactly where they were. Trinity was getting better with help of weekly blood transfusions and a lot of talking with Jarod. Yes Miss Parker should be happy, she was finally free from the Centre! And she was living with Jarod…
Miss Parker left the kitchen and walked to the back door; she stopped in the doorway and watched her daughter play with Jarod in their garden.
She couldn't help but smile a little as she watched them together. She knew this was the best thing she could have done for Trinity, she needed a father figure, and she had to admit, Jarod was really great. He would make a wonderful father one day…
"Miss Parker!" Jarod shouted as he saw her. Miss Parker smiled, but didn't leave her place by the door.
Since they'd moved to Corpus Christi, Jarod had been so kind to her, but Miss Parker was confused. It seemed like he didn't want to come too close to her, the way he kept his distance worried Miss Parker. What if he had changed his mind, that he didn't want to be around her all days… maybe he didn't like her…
He was very loving towards Trinity, but his relation to Miss Parker was so polite and nothing but platonic. Miss Parker didn't want to admit it, but she had hoped for something different. But there was no way she would take the fist step, she couldn't tell Jarod what she felt for him…
"Why don't you join us Miss Parker?" Jarod asked. Miss Parker just shook her head. Miss Parker? Couldn't he at least skip the formality?
The phone started to ring and Miss Parker took the opportunity to get away. She ran into the house and picked up the phone.
"What?" she sounded suspicious. Not many people knew their phone number.
"Sis hi!"
Miss Parker was shocked. "Lyle?"
"Yes."
"How did you get this number?" Miss Parker asked suspiciously.
"It took quite a while, but… the number isn't all I have, why don't you take a look trough your kitchen window?"
Miss Parker put the phone back and walked to look out. She couldn't help but gasp as she saw him standing there, leaning against his black Mercedes.
"Shit," Miss Parker muttered. She quickly looked around. Jarod and Trinity were still on the back of the house. She ran up to the front door and closed it carefully before walking up to Lyle.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Aren't you happy to see me?" Lyle smirked.
"That depends on why you're here."
Lyle smiled. "Don't worry sis, no one at the Centre knows, I'm on your side remember, he said
Miss Parker nodded slowly.
"I left the Centre," Lyle suddenly said.
"What?" Miss Parker was shocked. "Why?"
"I could ask you the same."
Miss Parker sighed.
"I realized I didn't belong there… I want to start a new life… just like you and Jarod," Lyle said, laughing as Miss Parker's eyes grew wide.
She gasped. How could her brother know about Jarod?
"Don't worry okay? I'm glad you got away from there alive," Lyle said. "I heard Tyrell was furious when he realized you set him up. You better watch your back, if he finds you, he'll kill you," Miss Parker could hear the sincere concern in his voice, but didn't think of it.
"How do you know?" she asked. Now she was really confused. How could Lyle know so much about Tepicore?
"Inside information, I didn't leave alone, there is someone I'd want you to meat," Lyle smiled.
It wasn't until then Miss Parker noticed there was someone else in the car. A woman, when she opened the door and walked up to Lyle, Miss Parker couldn't help but smile.
"Moana," she stated.
