Rejected

Chapter Eight

"What do you want?" I asked annoyed, as Lucille run out the door.

"Why don't you want to tell me who her father is? Do I know him?" I could hear the seriousness in his tone.

"Can you just let that go? You will meet him soon, so no need to be in a hurry."

I couldn't wait to see how he would react when he met her father.

Things will be so interesting.

He turned my head to look at him.

The little sparks from his touch was still there but the connection was slowly dying.

"Do you love me?" His icy blue eyes shining brightly, filled with love.

Did I still love him? After all he has done to me, can I still forgive him?

I lowered my gaze as I whispered, "maybe."

He pulled me into his chest as he stared down at me lovingly.

"I never have and I never will stop loving you. What I did was foolish of me. I am so sorry Amahle. Will you ever forgive me?"

"I forgive you Brock," I said, caressing his cheek. "But I can't be with you. My heart is with someone else."

For some reason, it pained me to see the look of hurt in his eyes, but I couldn't lie to myself.

Even if I did love him, a greater part of me loved someone else.

A tingling sensation in my right hand brought me out of my thoughts as I began to panic.

It was Samantha.

Immediately, I began looking all around for a phone or a piece of paper.

"Here you go mommy," Lucille appeared from behind me, handing me a cell phone.

Brock looked concerned and was about to ask what was wrong when I hushed him.

Dialing Samantha's number as quickly as possible, I placed the phone on my ear.

As soon as she picked up, I began rumbling as to why I disappeared with the kids and why I didn't call sooner.

"I was worried sick Lee," she chuckled. "Good thing you called now because I was just about to send a little message to you."

"I know. I felt it coming right where I am."

"Don't worry girl, I'm on my way right now. Thanks to my locator spell."

"Please tell me my house is in one piece?" I asked worriedly, remembering what she did to my house the last time.

"Don't worry Lee. It's not that bad." She quickly hung up on me.

My house better be the same way as I left it.

"Who was that and what does she mean by spell?" Brock asked curiously.

"Oh just my sister and don't worry about the spell part. She likes to joke around," I said, avoiding his gaze.

He didn't believe me, but I quickly rushed to meet Jay and Lucille before he could ask any more questions about her.

After all he will soon meet her, since she is on her way here.

That's why I love that girl so much. She always has my back no matter what.
