Three's A Crowd Pt 5: Moving On
"MALCOLM." She screamed. "What the hell is going on."
Malcolm and Mimi quickly jumped out of the bed, feeling embarassed and exposed. "Keisha... please... its not what you think... let me explain." Said Malcolm, stumbling over his words. "Its not what I think... THEN WHAT IS IT MALCOLM. I come home after you guilt trip me about staying late at work, and then I find you in bed with some... some... HUSSY."
"Keisha please... just let me explain, she's not a hussy, thats Mimi... my ex." "YOUR WHAT!" Keisha was fuming. She couldn't control her anger anymore, and lept forward and slapped Malcolm across the face.
"HOW DARE YOU BRING THAT LITTLE GIRL... THAT CHEAP, DIRTY LITTLE HUSSY INTO MY HOUSE... INTO MY BED..." Screamed Keisha as she turned to look at Mimi. "What the hell are you still doing here. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE." Shouted Keisha.
Mimi stood at the other end of the bedroom with her arms crossed. "No," she said. "I'm not going anywhere without Malcolm." Keisha calmly walked over to Mimi and pushed her in the shoulder. "I said leave my house... NOW!"
Mimi was shocked. "Don't push me." She said as she pushed Keisha back. "If Malcolm really wanted an old washed up woman like you he wouldn't come running back to me... get the picture... HE DOESN'T WANT YOU ANYMORE." Said Mimi hatefully. "If you lay another finger on me you won't live to regret it." Said Keisha Threateningly.
Mimi flinched at Keisha's sudden aggresive behaviour, she was becoming increasingly scared.
"Keisha... Mimi, please stop it... there's no need for this." Pleaded Malcolm... but his words fell on deaf ears. "Don't threaten me." Said Mimi as she slapped Keisha across the face, her heart racing at the anticipation of what Keisha would do in response... Mimi was scared. Keisha quickly flung away Mimi's hand from her face, and retaliated by swinging her hand into a hard back hand slap across Mimi's face. The force of the slap was so hard that it threw Mimi backwards almost knocking her to the floor. Before she knew it Mimi had launched onto Keisha pulling at her hair and punching her face. Keisha however was too quick and strong for Mimi, as she viciously slapped, scratched and punched at Mimi's face. The speed of Keisha's slaps and punches were too fast for Mimi as she struggled to get in as many hits under Keisha's strength. Their girl fight finished as soon as it had begun as Keisha managed to push Mimi to the ground and kick her up the backside. Mimi was furious... and embarassed. As Mimi tried to stand up Keisha grabbed hold of her arm and held it over her back. "Now leave my house you stupid little girl." She said in a malicious voice.
"Ow... get off me... you're hurting my arm." Cried Mimi.
Keisha let go of her pushing her forward, making her trip over the carpet. Mimi walked over to Malcolm in a huff.
"How could you stand by and let her do that too me... say something Malcolm..." "OH SHUT-UP MIMI... FOR ONCE CAN YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH... just put your clothes on and go and wait for me by the car."
"Fine." Said Mimi as she walked out of the room. Just as she was leaving the house, Mimi bumped into Justin in the hallway.
"What the hell are you doing in my house."
"Oh please kid... get out of my way."
"My dad doesn't even want you anymore... he's with my mum now, so why don't you just leave." "Is that what you think." Said Mimi in a vicious tone. "Well think again kid. Your dad is in there right now breaking up with your mum for me, so why don't you get out of my way... you little wimp." "No... thats not true... you're lying. My dad would never leave my mum for you." Deep down inside, Justin doubted his own words. "He already has kid... he's already mine." Said Mimi laughing as she left the house.
Justin was angry... 'i hate him', he thought... 'i hate him'. Meanwhile back in the bedroom, Malcolm was pleading with Keisha for a second chance. "Please baby please, just let me explain... ok... its not what you think... i don't love her... i love you." Keisha couldn't say a single word. Instead she raised her hand and slapped Malcolm hard across the face... again.
"YOU LOVE ME?... YOU LOVE ME?... YOU DON'T LOVE ME MALCOLM YOU LOVE YOURSELF. If you loved me you wouldn't have done this to me... again."
Malcolm reacted instantly to Keisha by slapping her across her face. He regretted it as soon as he did it. "HOW DARE YOU... HOW DARE YOU LAY YOUR FILTHY HANDS ON ME... WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" "Oh God Keisha baby, I'm sorry... I don't know what came over me... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hit you... I'm sorry."
Keisha was having none of it. "IT'S OVER MALCOLM... FOR GOOD. I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY HOUSE... I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY LIFE... AND I DON'T WANT YOU IN JUSTINS LIFE. You've hurt us too many times already, and I will not let you do it again. You had your chance and you blew it... You'll never change Malcolm... never." "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE... NOW!" "Please Keisha... please... lets just talk about this please.."
"NO... we have nothing left to talk about. You lost that last chance when you brought that girl into my house to be with her in my bed... Its over Malcolm... OVER!"
Malcolm couldn't say another word. Instead he silently put his clothes back on and walked out of the room. As he headed to the door Justin stopped him.
"I HATE YOU... HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MUM... You know how bad Mimi is dad... I told you about her and then you go and cheat on mum with her... I hate you." "Justin please... just let me explain... please." Pleaded Malcolm. "NO... I hate you and I'll never forgive you for what you've done to mum... never... Just get out... GET OUT!" As Malcolm walked out he uttered one last word to Justin.
"I'm sorry son."
"Don't call me that... I'm not your son anymore." In the bedroom Keisha began to feel suffocated so she took off her coat. But as she did she began to shake and then broke down in tears. She couldn't stop her self, as she cried uncontrolably,as she knelt down on the floor rocking back and fourth and shaking. The enitre nights events had been emotionally draining, and being in the house made her feel suffocated. She had to get out. Meanwhile outside Mimi couldn't help but gloat. "Are you ok baby... don't worry about them you don't need them... not when you've got me."
Malcolm didn't want to talk. "Just shut up and get in the car Mimi."
At that Malcolm and Mimi drove away from the house. When Keisha emerged from her bedroom ten minutes later she was wearing her coat.
"Mum... are... are you ok... I heard you crying." Justin had been wondering outside of his mothers room since the moment Malcolm had left the house. "Oh baby, I'm fine... I'm fine. I just need to go for a drive ok. I'm leaving my phone here so if you need anything just call grandma ok."
"Ok mum..." Said Justin as he leaned in to hug his mum. As Keisha walked over to her car, her entire body was shaking. She still couldn't believe what had just happened. Keisha drove around for hours. The entire time her mind was in a daze. She still could not believe what had just happened. The entire nights events had been spinning around in her head, and the more she thought abouot the more hurt, angry and upset she bacame, making her head thump loudly as the pain of her headache increased. After a while Keisha pulled up into the parking lot of an apartment block on the upper east side of Pleasantview. The area was familiar to her, but she had not visited this particular apartment in a long time. Meanwhile, in his penthouse apartment, David Hetherington was on the phone to his lawyer trying to negotiate a very important settlement in one of his legal cases, while also trying to put his daughter Christabel to bed... it was not going to be easy. After sneaking her way past the inquisitive door man Keisha entered the elavator and pressed the button for the top floor penthouse apartment. When she reached the top floor she walked over to the only apartment door and knocked... "WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE FAMOUS, I WANNA BE FAMOUS I WANNA BE A STAR..." David was finding it hard to hear his lawyers voice over Christabels as she jumped on his expensive sofa singing her own rendition to a Pussycat Dolls song.
Just then, David heard a knock on his front door. "...ok Martin... listen theres someone at my door... I'll call you back when I get to the office tomorrow." He hung up the phone and went over to answer the door. David was suprised to see Keisha standing at his front door looking worse for wear with a bruise over her eye.
"Keisha... what the hell happened... are you ok... did someone attack you..." David couldn't hide his worry for her. "Oh My God look at your eye." He tried to reach for her bruised eye to tend to it, but she flinched and pulled his hand away.
"No David please... its ok, I'm fine."
David was Confused. "Keisha, what happened to you?" "Ummm... It was Malcolm..."
David interupted her. "DID HE HIT YOU... that jerk...", Keisha stopped him.
"No David... I caught him cheating on me with his ex fiance and... well I attacked her... and I threw him out... I just... I don't know... he was in my house, in my bed... he..." Keisha words began to tail off as she tried to fight back the tears. David could see how much she was hurting and he tried to comfort her, by hugging her.
"I'm so sorry Keisha... its ok... its ok." Keisha wanted to respond to Davids affectionate behaviour but she couldn't move. Her body was frozen, still thinking about what she had just witnessed.
"Hey Keish, why don't you come inside, sit down and relax... ok." David was trying his best to comfort her. After taking off her coat, David lead Keisha into the main seating area of his apartment. As soon as Christabel saw her she jumped off the sofa and ran over to give her a huge hug.
"KEISHA KEISHA KEISHA." She screamed, Christabel could never hide her excitement whenever she saw Keisha,
"Hey Tinkerbell, why aren't you in bed?" "I was gonna go to bed but daddy was on the phone so he couldn't read me my bed time story and i tried to do my bedtime hair but i couldn't and i asked daddy but daddy doesn't know how to do my hair... can you do it for me keisha," Said Christabel.
"Hey... i'm not that bad at doing your hair" David said in a playful defensive tone.
"OK, ok, lets all calm down. How about I do your hair for you, and then I'll read you the next chapter of peter pan."
"Yey," Said Christabel excited. "There you go," said Keisha after she finished doing Christabels hair.
"I love it Keisha... its so pretty, thank you."
"Now why don't you get into your bed and I'll get the peter pan book."
Christabel ran over to her bed in excitement. By the time Keisha had found the book, Christabel had already fallen asleep. Keisha kneeled down to tuck her into bed. As she stared down at Christabel fast asleep, she couldn't help but think about her own child Justin. She felt so guilty about leaving him at home alone after such a revalation. "Is she asleep?" David asked as Keisha came out of Christabel's room.
"Yeah, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow... Look David, i really appreciate the hospitality, but i think i should be heading off home, I've left Justin there all by himself, he'd be wondering where I am." "Wait... Keisha... umm, why don't you stay a little longer, we could pop open a bottle of red, sit down and just talk for abit." "No David, its ok, i need to get home and be with Justin, I don't like the idea of him being at home by himself." "Keisha... I don't want you to leave... yet... just stay a little longer... its been such a long time since we last had a real proper chat together and i..." Keisha cut him off... "David, whats wrong with you... you're acting a little strange tonight..." David steapped forward and gently took hold of Keisha's hand. Keisha was confused. She knew that they had dated eachother just before she got together with Malcolm, but David had never hinted at having any feelings for her after that. Over the years since then they had even grown to be very close friends, but in all of this time she had never suspected that David had any feelings for her. "Keisha, you deserve to be loved... not every now and then like Malcolm... but loved constantly, whole heartedly. I love you Keisha, I've never stopped loving you, ever since we were teenagers I've loved you..." "Wait David... no this is crazy... this is just..." Keisha was confused, but deep down inside there was something there... "Keisha i've sat by and watched Malcolm treat you like dirt, and for years each time he's hurt you I have just hoped that maybe ech time you would realise that he wasn't right for you. I love you Keisha, I always have. I've never loved any other woman like I love you, Keisha... I love you." Keisha began to shake, her head was spinning, she felt so confused, everything was happening so fast and she didn't know how to handle it. "David I can't..." she whispered, "I can't do this... i just..." tears began to fill her eyes as she realised her feelings for him. David leaned in to caress Keisha's face. She closed her eyes as she felt his hand gently stroke the side of her face. At that moment all of her fears and anxieties slipped away as she took hold of Davids hand. She knew that she felt something for him, and she knew that it had been hidden deep down inside of her all this time. Keisha pulled Davids hand round her waiste, as she placed her hands around his kneck and pulled him closer. David and Keisha held onto each other tightly as they passionately kissed each other. Keisha felt a shot of electricity through her body as they continued to kiss each other, she realised at that moment that she had not felt this way for a long time... not since she and David were dating each other in high school. Before they knew it, Keisha and David were in his bedroom. As they lay on his bed David looked deep into Keisha eyes. "I love you," he said as he pulled her closer to him. "I love you too David." She said. As the fire burned in the fire place, Keisha allowed herself to be taken away in the moment. Malcolm had never made her feel the way that David made her feel. At that moment she decided to let him go... Malcolm was out of her life for good. The next morning Keisha and David woke up beside eachother not regretting the night before. "You look a lot better in my pyjamas than I do." Said David as he grabbed Keisha by the waiste and pulled her closer to him.
"Oh you're such a charmer. Listen David I've got to get going soon, I want to make sure I get home before Justin wakes up wondering where I am."
"Can't you stay just a little longer." Pleaded David. "I wish I could but, I don't want him to worry about me. I'll come back down to see you later on... I promise."
"Good." Said David. David lowered his hands and gently placed them on her hips as she leaned forward and gently kised him on the lips. After Keisha had gotten dressed, David decided to walk her to the elavator. As they said their goodbyes, their mutual love for eachother meant that they could not keep their hands off of eachother kissing eachother at every chance. "So... I guess I'll see you later on... God i wish i didn't have to go, but i need to make sure Justin is ok. How about I come round later on, say about 7 o'clock, and maybe i can cook you a really nice dinner." Said Keisha.
"I've got a better idea." David said.
"Oh yeah, and whats that?" Keisha was curious. "Well I was thinking that due to the fact that everything happened you wouldn't really want to spend another day in your house... so maybe you and Justin could... you know... move in here with me." Davids heart was racing, because as much as he was trying to sound confident when he asked her, he was scared that Keisha might turn him down. "Wow, David I'm not sure about that. I mean we've only just told eachother how we feel, and Malcolm only just left us last night... and you don't have enough space here to take on me and Justin... aren't we moving abit too fast." "Theres nothing to worry about Keisha. There is plenty of space here, I've got a second floor to the penthouse that I could convert into a small one floor apartment for Justin, and its not like we don't get along, you know me and Justin are pretty close. And I wouldn't call this moving too fast... we've known eachother since we were little, and we've always been close. I think that this will be perfect for us, don't you?" "I guess you're right, it does sound like a good idea. I'll just have to speak to Justin first and see how he feels about it. But I think that I need to get my impending divorce out of the way." "Hey you know I've got the best divorce lawyer for you, her names Claudia Byrne, shes the best divorce lawyer in the business, a real spit fire. And the plus side is that she only represents women, so you know she'll be good, especially when you tell her about Malcolms track record." "I think i've heard of her. Didn't she represent your ex-wife?"
"Yeah she did, and thats the only reason why we have shared custody of Christabel. I've got to admit, as much as I hated her, she was absolutely ruthless."
"Then she'll be perfect." Said Keisha. After they said their goodbyes, Keisha and David kissed once more before she left. Meanwhile back at Keisha's house Justin had called his grandparents when he woke up the next morning and had found that Keisha still hadn't returned home.
"Thanks for coming round grandma. and thanks for making me breakfast." "Oh thats ok baby. Its been such a long time since I last saw you, you've grown into such a handsome young boy. And don't you worry about your mum, ok... she'll be fine. I'm sure she'll be home soon." "Now why don't you just eat up your breakfast, and maybe when you're finished i can have a look at your new car."
"Thanks grandma."
At that moment Augustus was on the phone trying to find out where Keisha was.
".. well Charlie if you hear anything you pick up that phone and call me straight away." Just as he hung up the phone Keisha walked into the house. "Mum... you're home... I was so worried I thought something had happened to you." As soon as Malcolm saw Keisha he jumped out of his seat and gave her a big hug.
"Hey Justin... I'm fine sweetie... I'm fine." Said Keisha. "But where did you go last night mum. I woke up this morning expecting to find you in your room, but when i saw your room was empty, I got so scared." "Sweetie I'm fine, ok. I spent last night at a friends house. But listen I need to talk to your grandparents so why don't you go upstairs and chill out in your room ok. And you can stop worrying about me, cause I'll be fine." As Justin went up to his room, Keisha's mum went over to give her a hug.
"Oh Keisha sweetheart, we were so worried about you. Your father has spent the whole morning calling around trying to find out where you were. We thought you were in an accident or something."
"Oh Mama I'm fine. I just needed some space to think things over." "Well Keisha, I'm glad to see you're ok. And I'm even happier to finally see the back of that Malcolm."
"Thank you Papa. But I need to go and take a shower and change out of these clothes. I'll be out in a minute." Said Keisha.
"Now Keisha, don't feel you have to rush just because we're out here waiting for you. You take all the time you need." After 30 minutes Keisha emerged from her room feeling refreshed, and with a clearer mind.
"Keisha sweetheart, your father and I have been talking, and we have decided to pay for your divorce lawyer for you. There is this great guy that we know..." Diane paused. "Keisha are you listening to me."
Keisha wasn't listening, all she could think about was getting in contact with Claudia Byrne to start the divorce proceedings. "Keisha, your mother and I are trying to help you here..." Keisha still didn't respond.
'Good Morning Bryne & Co. How may I help you.' said the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Yes Hi... My name is Keisha Miller. I'd like to confirm my appointment with Claudia Byrne for a divorce..." Keisha was ready to end any connection she had with Malcolm, and she had no worries about any custody battle for Justin... especially since she knew who his real father was...
