The Lady Loving Women | COMPLETED

19. Olé! Just you baby

Scarlet had herself seated on top of the island, the tip of the knife from before lightly pressed on her index finger. The thought running through her head weren’t typically horrid, rather too curious for her own liking — a bit far fetched.

She glanced up from the knife to her mother leaning against the counter, a refill glass of wine the third infact if she wasn’t mistake. But with the way her mother tilted the glass back and forth, eyes narrowed at her — she knew she had quite too many.

She wouldn’t intervene with her mother ranting out her anger for the man in the next room, drinking about and being happy like he deserved it.

Maybe as she narrowed her eyes at her daughter, she was rather thinking about the knife she held — the same knife she almost killed and scared the man with. It being held to his neck earlier, clearly showed a smear of crisp red stain along the edge.

She had managed to shear past his skin leaving a fresh scar tissue on his neck, sadly not enough to kill him. He would definitely notice it everytime he stood before a mirror — that was enough to leave them both content.

Pushing her thoughts far, the woman soften her gaze and took a sip out her glass.

“How has it been going, at the office?” she spoke breaking the silence. She hadn’t called her daughter over to stare at her and the evidence resting in her hand, that if Andrew choose to sue she would end up locked up.

“I could say good but it is so tiresome, so much work for me to do. I always pass out on the desk!” she lied, definitely over stepped it with the forced sigh of exhaustion and the sore neck rub.

Anna chuckled shaking her head. “Honey, I think you forgot Jayson keeps me up to date with you. How you run away from work and paperwork — the only reason you would pass out in your office is because you were f****d to oblivion, which thankfully by Jayson hasn’t happened in the office.”

“You know, I really regret introducing you to him.” she grumbled.

“But I thank you because I wouldn’t know what you’ve been doing without the help of the young man.”

She knew her mother, she definitely knew the woman who raised her — thus she knew that tone, she had used it a lot to boast whenever she made people do things for her via blackmail.

Scarlet glared at her mother. “You threatened him to do it, didn’t you.”

“No!” she woman objected but her daughter’s glare got a bit more skeptical, so she ended up blurting the truth. “Maybe a little, just a little. He was so reluctant and dedicated to loyalty in this friendship. I had to do what I had to watch you and I must say, married women?”

“Mum—”

She shushed Scarlet with shaking her head, she didn’t want to hear a thing or an apology at all.

“How did you even pull them. What do they see in you?”

“Really?” Scarlet huffed amused. She was expecting an angry outburst not her mother dissing her.

“Honestly!” the woman cried out.

“Well I do have your good looks and—”

“I am beautiful, you are on point.” her mother interrupted with a proud grin.

That only earned a giggle from Scarlet before continuing before the interruption. “And the old man’s charms, who could say no?”

“No one, not even the dead!” she scoffed then later on furrowed her eyebrows. “Wait I’m not encouraging this!” she pointed out making as clear as daylight.

“I know you are not mum.” she pursed her lips as she stared into her mother’s eyes.

Mrs Blackwell nodded with a smile on her face. “Good but I still have one thing to say.”

“Say it?”

Uncertain she was, she didn’t know what to expect from her mother but she would still hear it either way. Anything was up the table just not what came out the woman’s mouth.

“You have game. I mean older married woman, hot milfs at your feet — I mean you at their feet. Still, them in your hold. Wow!” Anna breathed out. Emptying her glass she placed it down and gave Scarlet a stern face. “Just don’t get killed by their partners though.”

“Won’t you scold me?” she questioned still giggling bit.

Shaking her head she walked up to Scarlet slipping her hand in hers, she smiled.

“Scarlet you are twenty five, you are an adult even though it pains me that I’m getting old, you are still an adult — a grown woman. So are the women you sleep with, you both know what you are doing and why — but just do it safely for me. Don’t get killed.”

“I promise I won’t.” she smiled and her smile grew wider as her mother pecked her left cheek.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket, pulling her hand out her mother’s she slipped it out. Lidia’s name flashed on the screen with a text that read.

‘Can I see you?’

“Already about to go?” her mother asked as she practically stood on her toes, to see what message had her daughter’s face thinking hard.

Withdrawing her thumb away from the send button, to send her reply she lowered the phone.

“I can cancel, it is no big deal.” she said already ready to delete her ‘Where are you’ response.

But her mother’s hand over hers stopped her.

“You are twenty five and you already want to start pushing s****l relations aside? Things become rusty when you age, trust me.” the woman winked earning a disgusted look from Scarlet.

“Mum!”

Anna, Mrs Blackwell only chuckled and spoke again. “I can still hit it like a youngster, 34 + 35!”

“Wait— Oh hell no! I’ll leave okay, just stop!” her face was beyond horrified, her thumb had also sent the reply. All that was left was to free herself—hand—from her mother’s grip.

“I haven’t had a gag reflex since I met your father’s—”

And that did it. Jumping off the island Scarlet covered both her ears and if she could, she would have covered her brain.

“Bye! Love you mother, see you soon after I rinse my mind!” she shouted rushing out the kitchen, as her mother’s laugh echoed through — that woman could be something else at times.
