In the Life of Mia: College: Chapter 20
Sharene had been making me feel great all over and I could feel her muscles tighten and it turned me on all over again as I knew just how much strength she had and what her body looked like under her clothing. "I felt your presence the moment you walked into the room before anyone else looked up. Lola is just one of those types of people who love's love and shows it well on her face..." I look over to Lola with a smile finishing my last bite of toast. I took the bottle from Madeline and sat it on the countertop, and she cried out just enough to tell me she was not to happy. "Now, now none of that little princess... mommy is going to take over while I go finish up my list of things to do" I whispered down at her kissing her forehead before passing her over. I kissed Sharene's cheek after passing Madeline over and disappeared even though she tried to get me to stay with her for a little longer. "Ok see you, soon right?" she asked as I stepped farther away. I stopped at turned back feeling that she needed me and stepped back behind her, leaning down to whisper into her ear "Yes, I just have to take care of a few things before my parents get up fully and I lose the chance to do so. I also need to call my friend so he can meet us at the house tomorrow afternoon." I headed into the office and closed the door but didn't bother locking it knowing if I did I would only have pounding at the door soon and two angry parents.
Once I got comfortable behind the desk and in the chair that was huge made for someone who might be like 500lbs, but was super comfy and was able to really get in the spot that I needed to be in when calling Maxwell and his parents. I dialed his parents first to make sure that things stayed calm knowing it might get heated at some point in time and see where Maxwell's head was at before I called him on 3 way. Michelle answered the phone sounding confused and I was sure it was because my parents kept everything about their life private now including their phone numbers. "Michelle it's....." she stopped me as she started to cry immediately and ask how my parents and I were doing and apologizing for her sons behavior once again. She had told me what my parents didn't about Maxwell trying to sue for defamation and that he was now getting counseling and was doing better every day. She also told me that my parents had put a restraining order against him not being able to visit the mausoleum and I felt horrible that everyone was still going through so much pain over it. "I'm sorry Michelle, I didn't even know any of this, but it tells me a lot about my father's attitude when I had stopped by the girls yesterday and read only one of Maxwell's letters he left. I told him I wanted to try and see the 3 of you while I was in town.
My parents told me that you and Brad where also putting your house up for sale in the neighborhood which has got to be hard and I do not think you should have to do that. I bought my parents’ house from them as you may or may not know and actually have a friend living there right now while I'm in Europe, she's actually more than a friend but that's another story for another time. I hope we can all meet up maybe for lunch today if he's home for the weekend" Michelle could not help but cry more and thinking it was perfect for them to actually see me. Michelle did not get anyone else on the phone since she wanted it all to be a surprise and hoped it would be since Maxwell was still so raw about everything. "I'll do my best not to make it difficult, I just want everything out in the open and settled once and for all. I don't want to dwell on the past or go backwards in my own healing since I've done a lot of it in the past couple of months and really am at a good place" I explain to her the best way I can before we hung up. I made a couple more calls reserving a table at a private restaurant that was so private it didn't even have an address and it was for members only, nor could you even tell that it was a restaurant from the outside. "Yes it'll be for 3 people and it needs to be in a private room since it's a private occasion and it could get a little loud... one last thing I do have a security team that will be in the area so I won't need any of that" I inform the staff before hanging up and moving on.
My final two calls were to my tattoo artist friend and my interior designer who I wanted to have over to have her meet Sharene. I wanted Sharene to do whatever she wanted to the house and went so far as writing out a note to leave for my father to have papers drawn up to add Sharene to the deed of the house along with leaving her everything I owned in my will that I decided was the perfect time to get started. I was hesitant to leave it to my father to draw up all the papers even though his firm was the best in the country spreading out in all different things from real-estate to criminal law. It was just a weird feeling for me to actually just have that peace of having my things to go to someone who had taken over me so completely whether I wanted it or not since my heart was now in full power of sailing my course of my future. “You seem to be leaving this woman everything you possess yet you can’t even bring yourself to trust her enough to tell her your most inner deepest secrets” Ethan had been irritated with me still but I did my best to ignore him. Paul was more than happy to hear from me and cleared his day for me and Sharene since it would probably take a good 10-12 hours to do us both. "Awesome so I'll see you tomorrow around noon and it might be a little hectic with her parents and in laws being there along with her 4 month old daughter oh and the interior designer that I am going to do my best to have out before you get there" I laugh when he is shocked to hear that I am even with a woman. “See you than girl and you so owe me…” with that we were set for the next day.
Candice was excited to hear from me as well and even though Sundays were usually her down time she was more than happy to stop by for a quick visit and even happier that I gave her the go ahead to bring her children along since her husband was out of town for work until Monday. "Yes, not a big deal I have Sharene living there with her 4-month-old so it'll be one big party I guess...." I was just about finished when the door opened, and my father was the one walking right in. "Alright Candice I better let you go I have a visitor and I'll see you tomorrow between 9:30-10 am ok ha-ha yes bye-bye" laughing and she asked if it were my father. Ethan sat next to my father as he took the chair across from me and just watched me for a min. "Oh, boy he's got some serious tension in his body and his mood is not the best" Ethan was now tapping his foot as my father did when he was upset too. "No shit...." I mumbled under my breath and realized I had just said it a little too loud and my father tilted his head and then looked to his left where Ethan was sitting. "So your mother came to bed pretty late, and I hope you two were able to talk... she said it didn't get to far after you told her about your idea and thinking that I already told her since I came in the house all pissed off yesterday. I just wanted you to know that I didn't but I'm glad you told her since I was way too upset to tell her and didn't want her upset which she is but not as much as I am about the whole thing..." I raised my hands to cut him off ready to pick him apart about him keeping things from me as well.
Lacing my fingers together I sat back and looked at my father, "Look.... I don't want to fight my last day here with you and more.... I left a list of things that I need taken care of and sooner the better just to give myself peace of mind about it. I am going to be heading out for a lunch date here in about 2 ½ hours or so. I will come back here when I am done and we can all have dinner together and hopefully a peaceful evening since I have to be to the Charleston house by 9am in the morning to meet with Candice and have another appointment coming in right behind her. I'm hoping you can represent me and what I need to have done, but if it's too much for you then you can pass me to the next best lawyer in the firm to help me. I will pay all the fees that might come along with it so just get me a total and I will get a check made out to whoever I need to get it to. Now how about you go have a good breakfast with mother and don't worry about this until you need to ok, it's just something I should have thought about when I turned 18 since it's always good to have these things in place. Also, if you could check out another thing for me...?" I question as I wrote down life insurance highlighting it.
