Charlotte McCartney “Mommy do you like flying too?” Kelcie asked, curiously.“I don't know, baby. I've never gone flying before. I don't know if I would like it from up there and I can't tell if I will not like it either. I've heard so many things about flying so I don't know if I would really like it or if I may be a little scared of the distance from the sky to ground level”, I replied, saying even more than I would have said. “I don't know what's been up with me lately, I've been saying more things than necessary”, I said to myself.“What! You have never gone flying? you've never flown anywhere? You have not gone anywhere by air Charlotte?” Josh asked in disbelief and I shook my head. “You spoke about this idea like it was some childish desire of Kelcie's, or some unnecessary expense or should I say irrelevant experience that your little girl was craving. Meanwhile it's something that you yourself haven't even experienced”, Josh said, gazing at me in shock. Kelcie on the other ha

Josh Xavier What Ron said had not left my head since I discharged Charlotte. “It's a good thing she told me”, I mused. “That fool, that bastard wants to take my wife from me. He wants to take my woman from me. When I was in the hospital he succeeded in seducing Whitney. Now that I'm out, he still thinks he can take Charlotte back. He won with Whitney only because I was in a coma. He dares to steal Charlotte from me now? Now that my eyes are open? Now that I can talk? He dares undermine me because of this wheelchair?” I said to myself,deep in thought.“He’s not going to know what hit him. I'll show him. I will show that bastard what it's like when you joke with the wrong person. I thought it was my wife's family trying to deceive me, but Ashley may be a horrible mother but she at least knows to not mess with the wrong people. I'm sure that's why she sent Charlotte to fill in Whitney's position after she dumped me for that imbecile. She of all people must know that you don't joke with

Charlotte McCartneyThe tone of Josh's voice and the look on his face was really frightening. “I don't think he has ever been as mad as this with me”, I said to myself. Turning to Josh, I said, after taking a deep breath, “he was saying a lot of things to me that were necessary, unbelievable and equally annoying”, I said, wondering if I should really give Josh the full details. “But if I don't explain it all to him in detail, he would not believe that I did not have a hand in this, so it's best to tell him everything”, I thought deeply. “Unnecessary things like what Charlotte?” Josh asked, just as I was about to tell him about it all.“Unnecessary things like talking about my family. Things that he didn't know. For instance, he was telling me that my grandfather left the company to me and that my mother had been managing it on my behalf because I wasn't old enough to manage it. Meanwhile that's not the truth. Mom has been managing the company on her own not because I couldn't manage

Charlotte McCartney“Hold on baby, mommy needs to get something done really quickly”, I said, as Kelcie and I got into our bedroom.“Okay mommy. Will you be gone for long?” Kelcie asked. “No baby, I will not be long. I just want to get this done very quickly before it's too late”, I answered, flashing her a warm smile.“It's okay mommy I'll wait for you”, my baby said, smiling back at me. I left the room soon after. Leaving the room, I went directly to Josh's room. I wanted to get it to talk to him before he went into the bathroom, because I did not know how long it would take before he came out for breakfast. I did not want the awkwardness that had just occurred between us to happen again when we were having breakfast.“Kelcie is always watching me and she may just notice the silence and inquire about what is going on. I'm not sure I will know what to say to her if she asks about why we are giving each other this silent treatment. There is really no need for that display, so it's b

Charlotte McCartney Kelsey was yet to finish her milkshakes and I had not finished my coffee yet when I saw Josh Xavier through the window. “Does he come out this early every morning? Or is this just a coincidence?” I asked myself, shifting uncomfortably in my chair.“Mommy are you okay?" my Kelcie asked, noticing the discomfort in my face. “I'm fine, my baby. My coffee is just so hot that's why”, I said, lying. I tried to rush through my coffee but it actually turned out to be too hot. So I wasn't really lying anyway, I couldn't rush through my coffee. “I hope he doesn't come into the kitchen now that we are here” I prayed in my mind. Luckily I saw him wheel his chair towards the farm. “It's a good thing Josh isn't coming here I don't have to deal with him right now”, I said to myself, relaxing a little.“He's like that every morning”, Lydia said, following my eye out the window to where Josh had just been. We could still see him through the window. “I didn't know that Lydia was

Charlotte McCartney “Okay mommy the first thing to do when trying to be me is to stand up quietly from the bed so that you don't wake mommy up and quietly sneak out of the room”, Kelcie told me, beginning her lesson “But baby”, I said, “ mommy is awake now. Do we still need to sneak out?” I questioned. “I don't think we should sneak out anymore”, she responded, “because mommy is already awake. But mommy I'm confused now. What should we do?”, she added, looking perplexed.“Why don't we do the first thing we usually do when I wake up with you, then we'll do what you do next?” I asked suggestively. “Okay mommy”, she replied, smiling happily. “That's a good idea mommy. So what's the first thing to do, mommy?” She asked, looking confused again.“The first thing to do is to get off the bed and come give mommy a kiss on her forehead like I always do”, I said, smiling and teasing her. Kelcie responded by jumping off the bed and coming to kiss my forehead “The next thing to do is to go in
