and although she says his is stronger, I have yet to see him predict like her.
“ Do not worry, Mother. I promise my affairs with that woman are temporary. I’m here on business and just like to have fun,” I say, hoping she will leave this subject alone.
“My son, your brother Draken did not listen , and you see he is married now. So, because I know how you and your beast are, I need to stay closer to you, as you and your beast tend to lose control. I will keep more of a close eye on you. Remember, your beast is the powerful green; you have not taken a Wella, which would have helped you, my son. Now, what is the human’s name?”
“ Marilyn,” I say, feeling like a fucking kid. I hate when she’s right, and I hate it even more when I can’t say anything back. My mother can be really sweet, but she’s the deadliest beast I know. It’s best to agree and not anger her.
“ Marilyn, what a very sophisticated name. My son, I will speak with you later,” she says, and the phone is dead. I’m not sure what the hell is private in this family. My brother can sense your feelings and my mother can see your future, not to mention my other brothers have gifts, fuck. I hear knocking and I will the door unlocked. Hawken comes strolling in like he’s a model.
“Hey, you got the information ?” I ask, rubbing my hands in my hair.
“Yes, I do. Showken, this is not the type of w oman you usually deal with. I mean just look,” Hawken says, handing me a stack of papers, shit, this is not a good sign.
I begi n to read them.
Marilyn Jackie Carrington born December 20 th 1986
Mother - Linda Mary Boren
Father-John Steve Carrington
Marilyn Carrington was removed from her mother’s care at 9 years old after suffering a sexual assault by her mother’s boyfriend Richard Thomas. Linda Boren refused to remove the boyfriend and Marilyn was never reunited with her mother. Marilyn was placed in her father’s care until the age of 16 years old, when she petitioned the court to be emancipated. No reason was given and John Carrington didn’t contest this.
“Shit, Hawken, I wasn’t expecting this. What kind of parents did Marilyn have? I don’t think I need to read any more,” I say, turning the stack over. Damn. She carries a gun, has a guard dog and wants to be left alone. I’m guessing she has never been able to trust anyone.
“Showken, I think you should leave her alone. She’s not what you want to deal with , and look at you digging up information and shit on this girl. Let her go,” Hawken says, giving me a serious look. This is a lot to take in, but I can’t let her go now, that is what she’s expecting, but I will teach her a lesson today.
“Hawken , thanks for the information and advice, but I have my own plans, and leaving her alone is not on the list,” I say. A growl escapes my mouth.
“Oh, I see ,” Hawken says, rising. “Showken, I’m just worried. Be careful, and get her out of your system,” he says heading out the door. I sit there thinking about tonight, and how I can play this out without fucking up my chance. I decide to leave right after 2 p.m. I can do the rest of my calls at home. I walk past Kim, and don’t realize I didn’t say anything until I’m in my car driving home.
MARILYN
I wish Showken had never come over last night. I hope he takes the hint and realizes he and I can’t be a ‘we’. Last night was the first time I had ever let myself go with a man. I’m usually very guarded. I don’t feel like going to the bar tonight, but I need the money. I’ve been saving for a newer car. I pull into the parking lot and sit for a few minutes before my shift starts. It’s a nice crowd, but nothing like the weekends, this is the after work crowd. I hear my phone ringing and it’s Jasmine.
“Hello ,” I say.
“Don’t hello me, you usually call me on your day off , and this has been our ritual for two years. So what happened last night? Any nightmares?” Jasmine
