“I hope my nephews are treating you well?”
“Oh my God, you too?”
Fedora smiled. “I’m guessing based on what Oscar wants.”
“He and Sophie want twin boys so bad.”
“But what do you think they are going to be?”
“I honestly have no idea. But I want a girl and a boy.”
“That means we are definitely having a little Oscar. I am so happy for you and my brother. May you both always have reasons to stay happy. Thank you for all you do for him.”
“He makes me so happy too.”
“I am trying not to get emotional because for the first time, it is as if I am seeing a different version of my brother. At some point, I was so worried that he was going to end up miserable. I have never seen him this happy and carefree. I’m honestly so grateful that he has you.”
Victoria smiled. “I’m grateful I have him too. He is so amazing.” “Would you like me to introduce you to my brother and friends?” “Sure, I would love to meet everyone.”
The party was going really smoothly and everyone was enjoying themselves. There was lots of food to eat and drink and more than enough activities to engage the kids and adults.
“Who is she? I don’t think I’ve seen her before!” Lara mumbled, looking in the direction of Oscar who was talking to a lady.
“Who the hell invited her?!”
“You know her? She is probably Oscar’s friend. They seem to be on good terms!” Lara said, based on the way they were laughing over their drinks where they stood.
“I told her to stay away from him. I had no idea how she got in here. Her name isn’t even on the guest list.”
“I will be right back,” Vee said, excusing herself.
The duo were on the other end of the garden so by the time Victoria got there, Oscar was nowhere to be found.
“How did you get in here?”
“Sorry?”
“You heard me, Bessie. I am in no mood for jokes.”
“Your man invited me.”
“And you came?”
“Of course, I had to. Oscar is my friend.”
“Don’t you have more important things to do?”
“I don’t understand. What do you mean?”
“I told you to stay away from Oscar. You could have declined his request.”
“I could have done so but I didn’t because Oscar isn’t someone I can refuse. Nice party by the way. I got Sophie a present.”
“You can leave with whatever gift you brought!”
“I’m going nowhere! This may be a Kid’s party but I am having so much fun.” “I don’t care! I don’t want you here!”
“Why the hell are you against my friendship with Oscar? Why are you being so insecure?”
“Because I don’t trust you!”
Bessie scoffed in disbelief. “You know what? Oscar and I almost fucked in the changing room. I wish I didn’t stop him so I would have more things to say to put you in your place!!!”
Victoria stared in horror, trying to process what she just heard. And for some unknown reason, her heart started beating twice faster. She had no idea what pissed her the most. The words Bessie said to her, the tone Bessie spoke to her with, or the fact that the bitch was currently smirking at her.
Vicky was still trying to find her voice when another voice interrupted them. “And who the hell are you?”
“Excuse me?” Bessie said, turning her attention to her.
“You heard me, Who the hell are you?” The voice said again, taking steps closer to Bessie.
Finally figuring out who the person could be from the resemblance on the face, Bessie decided to be cool.
“I don’t think we have met before, I’m Bessic.”
you have none.”
“I don’t care who you are and stop trying to act like you’ve got manners because I am certain that “Shut the hell up, I’m not done talking.” The voice attacked when Bessie was about to say something. “How dare you act rude to my sister?”
“She? Your sister?” Bessie gestured towards Victoria who seemed lost and still in shock.
“I know she has just a brother. When did she find herself a sister?”
“My sister-in-law is also my sister. Sadly, that is a title you would never get because my brother only has his eyes on one woman. And that’s Victoria.”
“I know women of your type. You all are always nasty, witty and you think you can bully your way around life.”
“Sorry to burst your bubble but no one messes with my blood and gets away with it.”
“I think you are misunderstanding me here.” Bessie chuckled, trying to act like everything was cool.
“No one is trying to bully anyone. She is the one feeling insecure.” She gestured at Victoria.
“If you say that word once more, I am going to show you how crazy I can be.” Fedora glared at her.
“I’m sorry if that offends anyone but that is exactly how it is. Oscar and I are friends but she tries to make me look like a bad person just because I have a good relationship with him!”
“I was over here, having a good time and then she commanded me to leave. I didn’t even do anything.”
“It is her daughter’s birthday party. She has the right to decide who leaves and who stays.”
“Stop making me look like some Intruder. I am here because Oscar invited me.”
“I heard your last statement. You are indeed a terrible person so don’t try to defend yourself because I won’t fall for it.”
“Don’t you even feel ashamed for acting like a nuisance at a kids’ party? I mean where the hell is your integrity?”
“Do I like Oscar? Yes, but just as a friend. Do I wish something more could exist between us? Yes, maybe. Because he is a good person.”
Fedora scoffed in disbelief.
“The intention is not to make a scene or freak anyone out. Since she was all over the place, I had to make her understand that Oscar and I would probably be having an affair right now if I was that into him.”
“I had the chance to be his fuck buddy but I heavily declined. It would have ended terribly anyway because it is so clear that Oscar loves you even more than his own life.”
“Get out!!” Vicky said, taking two steps closer to Bessie. She was really trying to stay calm because she didn’t want to ruin her daughter’s party, knowing how much today was precious to the little girl.
“You heard her! You either walk out on your own or I will have the security throw you out!”
Bessie scoffed, rolling her eyes. She was holding a glass cup which still had some wine in it. She placed it on a table beside her and took her leave.
