Momma Strikes Again

My phone, Cabe’s phone, the house phone and the door chimes, all went off around the same time. I started towards the door, but stopped short when my phone started ringing and Cabe’s shortly after that. It was so much ruckus, I became a little over sensitized and it slowed my responses – I honestly wasn’t sure what to do first.

The sudden commotion had Cabe reacting very differently than me. He immediately answered his phone, and whoever was on the other end, and whatever they said to him, gave him the info he needed to storm, in long aggressive strides, from the kitchen to the front door. I went to follow, but hottie number one (who later I found out was named Lucas) gently caught my arm in a loose grip as I tried to swing past him and said, “Go ahead and answer your phone Chica , Let Cabe handle whoever is at the door. If it’s for you, he’ll come get you.”

It was said super sweet and he wasn’t holding firmly onto me, but I still got the feeling I wasn’t leaving the kitchen. Now, normally I would have had a serious attitude about this and given him some of my “You aren’t the boss of me” sass; but I gotta say having your car destroyed by being rammed, and shot at, forcing you to be in the hospital for several days changes how you respond to certain circumstances.

I was in shock. The house phone started ringing again, prompting me to run to the office/library to answer it. The caller was also a very upset employees’ wife who had also received legal documents that said their inheritance (this time one of the rental homes) was being contested.

I knew in my gut what this was - who this was, and a cold numbness washed over me. Would I never be free of this woman? Would I never be able to have any kind of a life? Would she always be there to screw things up for me?

Yes.

Yes, she would. I knew it was my momma who was behind this and I also had a pretty good idea that her boyfriend Mark was knee deep in it as well. I was sure at this point he came looking for momma and I think he wined and dined and white knighted her, the entire time working to get her to fall for him on purpose. Which also then led me to believe he
