Lacey walked straight into the den and sat beside her mother. She looked at the glass of white wine in her hand. "Lacey Atkins, where have you been?"

Smiling, she looked at her mother's stern looking face. "There's no need for full name calling mother. I went to see a friend."

Her mother's mouth hung open. "Really?"

"I knew that would get your attention. Yes really."

"That's new, even for you."

"Well, it's my last year in high school, so I thought, you know, why not." She smiled

  • Tell No One   FIFTY-FOUR B

    His car pulled up in front of a hotel. He grabbed a plastic bag from the passenger seat before getting out. He tossed his car keys into the hands of an eager valet who couldn't keep from drooling over the car. He wasn't the only valet drooling, he was just the lucky one. He headed into the hotel with his destination in mind and worry lines on his face. After Lucille took the bag from him and gave him a smile that reduced his worry lines, they settled on the couch a few feet away from the bed where Marvin slept behind them and the television on in front of them. Lucille looked at Wes and sighed. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you, you just flew in." He smiled, searching her beautiful eyes. "It's okay. Nothing stopped me from refusing." "But you must be tired." "Well, I had been practicing before I came back. My hands are a bit stiff from holding the steering wheel tight all day but I'm used to it. It's no big deal." "At least you got some rest on t

    Something hung in the air. But neither of them noticed. Rather they did but they were too busy talking to pay it any mind. Not when they drove into the compound or when they passed Charles when they got in with a look of... something they saw outside on his face. Nina glared for a second then waved it off. What was it? It was defeat. Each one wanted so badly to inform the girls but couldn't under orders. So instead they looked guilty and sad because they were about to be ambushed. They were betraying them. At least it felt that way. Especially for Charles who still didn't mind looking the other way if Lucille decided to kill their intruder. Hell, he'll help. While they rambled on all the way to the dinning hall, Mattie came out of nowhere. "Hi girls." "Hi." They chorused, laughing."Hi darling." She smiled at Marvin in Nina's arms stroking his cheek gently with her index finger. He smiled and she smiled brighter. They all did. "Can I take him?" "Yeah?" Nina handed him over

    Nick sighed as he walked out of the office building. Every attempt to talk to Lucille had been met with anger. She wouldn't let him speak. He'd gone to her house and she shut the door in his face again. He was sure the door would break with the amount of force she slammed it with. His first time to her office, he had been informed she wasn't in. It didn't stop him from seeing her silhouette. Her face buried in her hands. Since he couldn't get her to see him, maybe he'll ambush her. Great. Look what he's turned into. He found her in the park carry Marvin. His heart skipped a beat the second he saw them. And every time he thought of them it skipped again. They were a bit far off. And some woman stood beside Lucille holding a stroller. From Lucille's skirt suit he could tell she was going to have to get back to work. While she made faces at Marvin and Marvin laughed, he made his way to them. He hadn't taken more than three steps when she saw him, turned away sharply and urged the l

    Oh! Her voice from the kitchen. It made all those tempting moment of calling her worth resisting. She was okay. Happy even. And now he was going to ruin it. Too late to leave. He should have listened to his father and his friend. He saw her. Next thing she was rushing out of the kitchen. Someone would think Quincy knew what his daughter was about to do. But all that happened was, the sun light bounced off the side of the knife and hit his eyes. Instantly, he saw the knife and moved to her side. Grabbing hold of her a few steps away from her intended victim. "What the hell are you doing here?!" She was so full of rage, she fought back her father's hold. "What are you doing here?!" Nick stepped back, hands up in surrender. He wasn't leaving. "Let go of me! Get out!" "Lucille you'll wake the baby." Madison stated. "I don't care. I'll rock him back to sleep." Her hair was everywhere as she pushed herself away from her father, he wasn't letting go. Nancy didn't quite

    It was a shock really, everyone's eyes followed him as he strolled in. How long had he been away? Nearly nine months. He ignored the looks as he walked by. Down the hall past the board room where his father was sitting in on a meeting on a floor he hardly visited. Strange as it was, he ignored that too. Discreetly tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. He went to his office, then came out ten minutes later and started down the hallway again. Heading towards the elevator to his father's floor. Again, eyes followed him. It was probably because of the beard and his longer than usual shabby hair. And maybe his Red eyes. He might as well look like a mad man. At first glance it didn't look like Nick, but after another, he knew. Without hesitation and suddenly angry, he got up and followed after him. "Call security." He said to the room. Nick turned from the large window behind his father's desk when the office door was pushed open. One man standing behind Bryan and Suzann

    The four grandparents were in the nursery. Madison and Renee arguing in hushed whispers over changing the baby's daipers while Quincy and Bryan watched in amusement. Glasses of Vodka in their hands. With Lucille asleep in the other room, Renee announced the idea of going to see the baby. Bryan and Madison agreed. One look from Madison and Quincy followed. Keeping his distance. "Don't do it like that. You'll ruin it." Renee ordered. "It's fine, I know what I'm doing. It doesn't matter-" Renee faced Madison while Madison tried to work. "It doesn't matter? Of course it does. Did you even handle this with the girls?" "No. I had a nanny for them. But I saw her enough times to know." "Well, I did it myself with my son." Renee said proudly. "And look how wonderful he turned out." Madison's insulting remark had Bryan burst into laughter. His eyes closed, he didn't see Renee's deathly glare. He could feel it however and didn't care. Smirking, with folded arms, Qu

    The next day, Bryan called Lucille into his office. A smile on his face. "Well done Lucille. I hope working with Nick wasn't too bad. I know you didn't want to do it." "I didn't say I didn't." His smile brightened. "I think you deserve an explanation." "Explanation?" "Someone... or

    Pretending. That's all he'd been doing all this time. She'd figured it out like Nina knew she would. Why couldn't he just leave her alone? Why did he have to come in and say all those things and promise promises he was planning on skipping out on? The more she thought, the angrier she got. Rage flo

    Bryan gave attention to the papers on his desk. Knowing the Human Resources manager had just walked into his office, and yet not looking at her. "You shouldn't keep me waiting Miss." "I'm sorry sir. I just..." her voice squeaked. Like every other time she came before the big boss m

    Dim lights flooded the entire room. Music playing ever so loudly, he could barely hear himself think. The VIP room in the club was a little less crowded than the other side of the velvet rope. Leaning back against his chair, leg crossed; ankle on his left knee, one hand on his right thigh
