Chapter Sixteen

Channing

I still couldn’t believe that after seeing the fury and rage in my father and brother’s eyes, Kemara’s suggestion was to go to my parents’ house and meet with them. After what happened with the lodge, I thought she would want to stay as far away from my family, and possibly me, as possible. It just went to show how strong of a woman Kemara was. It made me love her all that much more, even though I questioned her choice of meeting my parents.

I needed to talk to my mom in person and get her to agree to meet Kemara, so I could prove to her why I loved Kemara and how special she truly was to me. I had to make sure my father wasn’t home first. I called her, and she assured me he wouldn’t be around. I knocked on the house door that same morning.

She opened the door and welcomed me in with a warm smile and a hot cup of coffee. “Thank you, Mom,” I said, as I grabbed the mug from her.

She took a seat on the couch, and at first things were extremely uncomfortable. I felt awkward. She looked at me in a way that told me she already knew why I was there and I needn’t say a word. I didn’t know if that was a good thing or not.

“Just talk to me,” she said, comforting me. I felt like a little boy again, needing to tell my mother something that I was struggling with. “You know you can talk to me about anything, Channing.”

I smiled. “I’m sure you’ve heard what’s been going on,” I said.

“Well, I didn’t hear your side of things, so I haven’t heard nearly enough,” she responded. It was a great response.

I took a sip of my coffee and placed it down on the coaster, then sat back in the chair. “You know I didn’t go out looking for someone to love, especially someone that would be the last person Dad would want me to fall for.”

She nodded slightly. “So…it’s love?”

As she asked the question, there was a small smile dancing on the corners of her lips. She didn’t actually smile, but I knew my mother. It was there waiting in the wings for the right moment.

“She gets me, Mom. She’s the best part of me, and yes…it’s love. And having her walk in and see where I come from, it killed me. I hate that she saw that and my heart broke for her. I knew then that this was real. The Neo-Nazi’s aren’t just a group of men loving their race. It’s an affront to the very woman I love. I was going to leave the group for her, but I didn’t get the chance to do that before it blew up.” I shook my head. “Dad wouldn’t understand that. Damon definitely doesn’t understand that, but Mom…they don’t know her.” She listened in silence as I spilled my heart out. “That’s why I’m here. I want you to meet her, and I want you to see the woman that I see in Kemara.
