Forever his girl

Chapter 3

Bradley pvo

Yees!

What a damned drama queen!

But at least she entertained us a little... A little....

So the little Faith isn't so little anymore ha? Mmmm.... I wonder what else she can do with that smart mouth of hers.

Oh god help this dirty mind of mine, but I can't help but notice that she has grown into a beautiful young women, and sexy as hell by the looks of it. That's if you take away that rag she's wearing. One thing is for sure. She has no sense of style wat so ever. An old women stepped in the body of a young girl.

I hear Radley giggling next to me and I hit him in the rib.

"Ouch! f**k that hurt bro! What did you do that for? Don't tell me you didn't find that show hilarious. The girl's got guts, and she is hella audacious".

"Shut up" Rad I say, but can't help but find the situation amusing. She has a smart mouth for such a small thing. It's true that she and Hope may be identical twins, but they are most definitely polar opposites.

She is feisty as hell and speaks her mind, whereas Hope is quite, reserved and very shy. A lady like no other.

Yah Hope... Our Hope. I turn to her. Her face is tear stained and I can't help but cringe. Hope is hurting and this wretched girl seems to enjoy adding fuel to the fire. I pull Hope close and in that moment I wish could take her pain away. I can't help but feel resentful toward Faith for causing her even more anguish. I lift her chin up and mouth to her that its going to be okay and it'll get better.

When I look up I spot two icy blue eyes on me. Faith is looking at me and the hate is transparent in her eyes.

I smirk at her. Hate me all you want witch like I give a s**t.

______________________________________________________________________

A few hours later all the guest have gone home and the place is cleaned up again. Faith walks over to where we are sitting on the couch. She stops in front of her father and says " I have cleaned everything up, but its a little late now" her voice goes soft and she looks down". I have nowhere else to go, and I don't have a car. Besides I probably won't find a decent motel at this hour, so I would like to request permission to stay the night. I'll be out of your hair first thing in the morning I promise ". She stubbornly says.

Michael sighs... "Faith... This is your home. So of course you are welcome to stay. I have it any other way" he says.

Faith just laughs sarcastically. "Please Michael I'm not a charity case and I don't need your help. I also don't need nor want you to baby me.. I can take care of myself. Always have and always will. Besides its just one night then I'm out of your lives for good" she hisses.

Hope starts sobbing again next to me and I give Faith a pissed off look.

She just shrugs.

Damnit this girl is really starting to full-on piss me off.

Hope softly mumbles "Faith please don't leave. I need you. You are the other piece that makes me a whole. How would I survive forever without you?" Please give me a chance to make this right.

Faith shrugs " You should have thought about that before you walked out and left us behind, and besides you have being surviving just fine these past few years so drop the miss fragile act cause I ain't falling for it.." She hisses.

"Just shut up you witch" I shout. " You don't need to be such a b***h to Hope. She is trying to make amends for God's sake" I am pissed now.

She acts shocked and pretends to look hurt. "Oh my word, did I tickle a nerve there Bradley? Don't be a hippocrates you i***t. She's MY f*****g sister, not yours. I will speak to her how I damn well please". She shouts

"SISTER! Sister you say! She may not be may sister by blood, but I gave her back. That's more than I can say for you. All you do is insult and criticize her for heavens sakes. You chose to stay and She left. Live with it!" I shout back.

She just smirks and gives me a bored smile. "Just hope and pray that she's won't abandon you too one day. Cause you know what? I also had her back, I would've given my life for her. How ironic is that? But I guess that was not enough to make her stay and choose me. Be careful the only thing she does best is leave" she mumbles.

Radley starts giggling beside me again.

Faith turns to him and glares.

"What might you find funny?" She asks.

"You little feisty pumpkin. You're hilarious and entertaining as f**k if I might add. You might have a few issues.. But nothing I can't handle. I'd enjoy taming that beast inside of you". He playfully adds.

" You won't find me as entertaining when you are clutching your balls from me kneading you there".

Radley throws his head back and laughs even louder.

"Watch your language young lady!" Michael says.

She just rolls her eyes.

" Faith please take a seat, we need to talk to you" Michael says.

"Talk! I'm fine standing." Faith snaps back

"Alright then" . Michael says. "I'd like to start my reading you a letter your mother sent me before her passing".

"Pppppfff I highly doubt that. My mamma would never write you a letter. She states in a mocking tone.

" See for yourself if you don't believe, its her very own handwriting" Michael says and hands her a letter.

Tears well in Faith's eyes as she scans the letter.

"Fine then! Its her handwriting. Why would mamma write a letter to you without telling me? We shared Everything. Ggggmmppff I smirk. " Clearly not if she never informed you of the letter. But that's none of my business. I sarcastically add.

"You are f*****g right it is none of your business. Now just read the damned letter Michael and get it over with so I can get some rest" She states.

"Okay then.. It reads... "

Dear Michael

I hope you and your family are doing well. I am so sorry to burden you with this, but seeing as I don't have much time left I'll get straight to the point. I'm writing about faith. She is drowning Michael! I see her wilt away more daily. She is consumed with hate. I have tried to tell her the true, but she refuses to listen. If I do much as mention you or Hope she closes up. She even threatened to leave and never come back if I mention either of your names. She has lost her spark Mike. Our babygirl has become a shadow of the carefree and happy girl she was. She takes care of me like a mom would a baby. I am worried about what will happen to her once I'm gone. She will break and I can't let that happen, I love them too much. So this is what I need you to do. After my burial I need you to take her. I know she won't go willingly so I have decided to make a stipulation in my will. If she can last to stay with you for a whole year then she can have her inheritance money. If not the money will be frozen until then. I have however made sure that her tuition is still to be paid as she will enter her fourth year of med school. I am sorry I never told you she's in college, but she forbid me. Our babygirl is doing good Mike. She is a fighter and she is tough as nails. She will progress just fine. It's only her heart I'm worried about. One cannot carry so much hate and resentment in your heart, its not good for you. All I'm asking is that you try and teach her to find her way back. She needs you and Hope. She misses you even though she won't admit it and I think that is what fuels her anger even more. Bring our babygirls back together again, and remember she may be a little rough around the edges but she's mush inside... Please don't give up on her. Keep trying, she has a lot to give she just needs to remember who she is.

Send my greetings to Hope. Tell her I love her and hope to see her tomorrow when Faith goes to her classes. Stay well and send my regards to Clara and her boys.

Love Chrislo-Jane

The following scene that unfolded had me speechless and a little amused if I must admit.

Faith jumped up and shouted " You are a despicable man Michael Diaz. How dare you! You knew how personal that letter was but you still decided to humiliate me by reading it in front of these people! Or does the thought of being alone in a room with me terrify you so much? You also added a part in conceiving me for heavens sakes. What did I ever do for you to hate me so much that you would deliberately hurt me like this!" She shouts while panting as if she had just ran a marathon. " Oh ,and another thing... Over my dead body will I ever go and stay with your loony ass. So you can keep that money, I will survive even if I have to work my ass off to make ends meet. Because at the end of the day it will be worth it to see the look on your face when the unwanted daughter actually makes it. See I hate you! I hate you Michael Diaz. You are not my father. You are just a sperm donor that walked away when I needed you most. See normal girls get to tell stories of how a random guy they met broke their hearts for the first time, and they get to cry on their daddies shoulders. But guess what? I get to tell the story of how my 'perfect' daddy was the first man to ever break my heart.! ". She full on yells.

Michael falls on his knees in front of her and sobs. "Faith forgive me. I never wanted to cause you so much pain. I could never hate you. You are mine, my pumpkin. Your mamma and I tried to do what's best for all of us... ". He sobs.

"Don't you dare bring my mamma into this!" Faith shouts. "You never deserved her... She was a saint. Too good for the likes of you." She shouts at him. She starts walking away, but turns around and says. " Oh and can you please clear the living room so I can sleep on the couch. There is no way in hell I'm sharing a room with goody too shoes princess Hope over there".

Rad and I both say it won't be necessary as we will take the couches.

"Hey crazy girl". Rad calls after Faith.

"What?" She barked at him.

"I like you. You got balls. I think you and I will be the best of friends... Who knows maybe even more..." He laughs.

Faith smirks at him and says " Over my dead body will I ever be associated with a Lopez, and I don't date guys.... In case you didn't know I'm a lesbian.. "

Everyone gasps except Radley who just laughs even louder.

"Feisty aren't we? Hell let me join you and your girl then. We won't have a problem as long as she is as fine as you. Who knows I might even be able to persuade you to turn the other way" he says flirtatious. Everyone ignores him.

Michael eyes Faith suspiciously. " Is that true Faith? Your mother never mentioned anything of that sort to me" he says.

"Wel wel. Guess she didn't tell you everything after all". Michael looks at her wearily.

"What daddy? Did I taint your perfect little pumpkin image of me? Well to bad, you'll just have to suck it up old man. I am what I am and I ain't changing for no one" she confidently states.

I can't stop the small smile that involuntarily forms on my lips.

My... oh my... Little miss crazy girl could actually be perfect for my plan. She has grit that's for sure, and that mouth... gosh she has a kissable mouth..

I erase that image from my mind. Why in the hell am I fantasizing about kissing Faith of all people. I don't even like her, but she'll have to do for my plan as I'm running out of time and she will obviously need the money...

I will make her a proposal she simply cannot resist
