Do not own Sky High. Here is another chapter.
I stood talking to Edith, my mother was not here, but I was and so was Kai. Looking like a cold drink of water in a tight fit black tee and dark jeans, his tattoo's and muscles on display.
"This is very complicated, Bexley. You have a connection with Masters and Peace. For now, not even I can fix this but a Judge can," she sounded sorry too.
I sighed, "I want a divorce and the curse this bitch placed on me removed," she nodded in agreement. "That I can fully understand, I am rushing this, but it is going to take time. But we have someone who can remove the curse," I cut her off. "Don't say his name or location, he will end up dead if you do," my finger pointing at Kai who snarled at me.
He spoke low, "A Judge has to award me right's, and this girl knows it, you feel me you always know my emotions and location. That is how you knew I was fucking that slut, Becca Faith," he wasn't fucking lying.
I wanted to cry as rage-filled my belly. I felt my ears getting hot. I glare at him then spat out "HOW DARE YOU?"
He sneers at me then laughs only adding fuel to my wrath.
"You think this is funny?" I snap.
He glares at me with hatred in his cruel dull eyes. "You are an extremely stupid girl. Aren't you?"
Our heated quarrel continues. It was a war of words and who can hurt the other one worse. Both of us at each other throats like savage hungry dogs fighting over dominance.
Edith the poor girl was calling enforcement to stop the madness, Kai stood in front of me his eyes locked on mine. But a sudden jolt of anger hit me, and I turned seeing Vic and Warren coming our way. "My fucking day can get worse,"
Edith leaned over the counter, "Girl you have all these guys," she blushed. Retorting to her crimson face. "The skinny pothead is my best friend, and Peace is my husband, for now. I need the curse removed and divorce papers stat," her eyes on the now three men converging around me each with hate-filled looks.
I tried to slink away but Warren just wrapped his arms around me pulling me to him, "Good morning, love," Than his eyes land on Edith, "I want to file an objection to the divorce, she is only doing it because of this walking waste of space. Hey there, Kai, I have your girl and it is going to stay that way," my eyes plead with Vic, I know he wants to argue and thinks Peace is a safe bet.
But he cuts in, "We should all think about Bex, and what she wants,"
Both smirked, I was with both at one point. Moving from his grasp, "Dear God, you two are going to put me in an early grave. Guess what my body is doing just fine with that, file the papers Edith," my eyes on my Godmother Jet Stream and my Auntie Freya walking this way all done up in super suits.
"You called my Aunt and Godmother. Great," at least no trouble would be had with them. "Bexley, I thought your mother said not to go through with this," Auntie smiled at me.
"My life, my body, my rules," was retorted and Jet Stream nodded her agreement.
Both looked at the three men, "Very complicated my JuJu bee, only a Judge can issue you what you desire. And even he will see who you bonded with first, what is really in your heart," I knew something along the lines of this. She finished, "He might order you to spend time with each, in turn, to see if your heart sways," I yelped my body getting air, but Vic just catches me holding me close.
He spat, "Time with Kai, Freya, he tried to have your daughter killed. I can't see reason or logic with that," Auntie glared at Kai but her words are absolute. "I have no say, but if Warren wants her, and truly loves her he better fight for her heart. Now Bexley, get out of here and listen to your mother, NOW," she was angry, so I light another smoke.
Snapping more to myself, "Mad at me, no be mad at crazy ass one and two. I am trying here," Vic was rubbing soothing circles on my back as her voice echoed again. "PUT IT OUT," I just grumbled but walked faster never putting it out, I can feel them both behind me keeping the peace for now. If either acted in a foul way the Judge would see them as un-fit, Warren was looking like heaven in a deep red tank top and jeans, I noticed he always wore the same old boots paired with a thick chain that landed in his back pocket.
His hair was pulled back and he was going for the same look, like knocking her dead look, and I was more in tune with Warren and that was at least going to get the curse removed and then I could file more papers. I just turned my hands bracing on their chest, "Listen well, I will run and disappear before I get one on one time with you. You made your bed regarding me Kai, you cheated, you lied, you tried and failed to kill my friends and family in two different eras. I doubt any Judge would say yeah, he is the one for you, yeah not happening. Warren, I explained to you why I was doing this and hello here you're trying to fight me on it,"
He smiled at me, and all those feelings rushed back. "I will continue too; I love you and am going to fight him and you if need be every step of the way. You make me want to be better, you already have made me better and we're going to have another wedding,"
Vic pointed to his watch, "I have zero time, I am headed to High Max to see my father,"
Warren reached out, "You want me to come?" my eyes flicker to Vic who was beaming. "Sorry, best friend, brother, donor, and sexy beast out do husband and a crazy-ass ex-boyfriend who doesn't get her point," his warm brown eyes filled with the humor he was dishing out.
Both snarled at him, "Look at me then look at you, you skinny pothead," Vic made such a show of it too, moving around both of them. "Yeah, Bexley should have said yes to me in kindergarten," he wasn't scared of either of them as we laughed walking off towards my Nova. As the car engine swung on to the lone country roads, I relished the roaring winds that twirled in her long hair and whistled in my ears. "Girl, you in deep," he was right.
"Yeah, but Warren is my husband, we are bonded, and the emotions are there any judge will see that. But then his past, he is an std factory, he is dangerous to the extreme. Kai, cheated, moved time to kill my friends and family, had them nearly killed here. I will call in every favor from my Uncle to enforce my will," playing dirty was my thing, I wasn't just like my mother.
I have never been here; it was very isolated, and I could feel the power radiating from not only the building. But the people residing here, I bulked "Fuck, the power here is massive it is vibrating in my bones," every hundred feet is a checkpoint until we are allowed into the main building, a kind-looking old lady was smiling at us waving us forward.
"Just stay still, it is only a tiny prick,"
I asked, "Are we talking about Vic's dick?" he slugged my arm, it pulsed with pain. "I will have you know-"holding my hands up laughing as the pain was raging in my poor arm. "Spare me the gory details," our dynamic was like this and she giggled at us.
It didn't hurt, "Oh, Miss. Danvers. Guess your mama finally told you, your father has been on his best behavior since he heard you were coming,"
"You should take a page from his book, Bex. I mean smoking in the courthouse," she eyes me in disbelief. I pushed it, "Can I smoke in here?" a firm no.
She just checked us in, "Come back," she left us with some beefy guy who was stone-faced, he looked like he needs some bran muffins. I have been in maze's that didn't give me a headache as we turned this way than a sharp left or right. In the end, we are lead into a garden area with shaded tables, at least this was not going to be uncomfortable.
He wrapped his arm around me, leading me forth to where a man stood. He was tall with darker brown hair, hazel eyes, and olive skin. "I'm short and no tan, you think this was fair?" Vic was chuckling when we arrived in front of my father, it had been five years since the last time we saw each other.
I want to speak but all I can do is croak, "Don't lie, not again." His mouth paints a soft smile and he nods once before folding me in his arms again. It was not new but the feeling had been forgotten, Vic just sits waiting for us to sit as well.
I do right next to him, "We only did what we thought best for you, Bexley. You have always been our pride and joy; you continue to be as such. I see your mother twice a week and we both do nothing but talk about you and what is happening in your life. But seem's you have been having troubles," his head nodded at something behind me, I didn't turn maybe he saw a homie getting a visit.
Vic coughed, I answered shooting Vic a loathing look. "Well yes, my health just won't get it's shit together. I am not given the glory I deserve being Killjoy, shame really," he smirked. "I heard of your travels, I am so proud of you. But what about young Masters and Mr. Peace," something in his tone caught my ear.
I asked, "You say Kai's name as if you like him as a human because I don't. He cheated on me, he is cruel and tried to off Layla," my father's eyes narrowed. "I do know him, and I do not dislike him, but Mr. Peace I do. I get on very well with their fathers who I went to school with,"
"Well, thankfully my horrid love life isn't in your hands," more sarcastic then meant. "No it is not, it resides in yours my darling," he was right in the end. I watched him, Vic turned following dads eyes and groaned.
He yelled out, "Losers," before turning back to me cocking his head behind us. There are times my brain fries up. It's no excuse I know; I own my behavior. I try to help, try to be good, and then a trigger is flicked. My emotions turn - cold, fearful, anxious... I back away, flee or strike out at someone who loves me. In these moments I am least proud of who I am, for I fail to be the warrior I was born to be, the strong woman. I regret so much, but right now it was that I turned around seeing Warren and Kia, both at tables with their fathers. "They followed me," my head shaking as both are glad that my dimwitted ass finally looked over.
"And here they come my darling,"
I stay seated absorbing the heat of the day, "That's great," lighting up another smoke, not wanting to deal with this bullshit. "My love," it was Warren but Kai cut him off. "Excuse me Peace, Bexley babe,"
I stormed up, "Leave me alone, I am here with my father you cock juggling thunder cunts,"
The elder villains all burst out laughing, "Bex, I already had visitation with my dad like every Monday," Warren smiled.
He saw the shock register on my face before I could hide it. A small smile played on his lips, I guess he gets that a lot. It wasn't what he said though, his words were like vanilla pudding, sweet in their ordinary sort of way, it was the richness of his tones – luxurious and warm. He must be a baritone. "Father this is my wife, Bexley Danvers. Bex, this is my father Barron," pleasantries are a must as he hugged me.
I eyed Kai, "Your dad is dead, who is this,"
Smirking, "My father, my step-father was killed by the Commander," both men eyed me, "She seems very nice," his father spoke like him, the same tone.
"I am, now if you men can excuse me. I hate most of you," pointing at Kai who just shrugged. "I deserve as much, it is good to see you once again Mr. Danvers," he hugged my father making my jaw drop, it was very unattractive my mouth open staring at this travesty.
Warren must have known something was up with me, "I refused to bow down to him, while the three men standing with me did as such. I do not follow anyone," his dark eyes on my father.
Snapping out at my father, "Seriously you got issues with him for that, well damn," I was ready to bolt and Vic just took my hand. "Come on Bex, this is a little too much for you to deal with. See you later Warren," I was being dragged away by force.
Warren groaned, "I lied, I will follow one single person, that is my wife. See you, dad," Warren walked out right behind us as I was fuming mad, he liked Kai and not Warren.
