It was the curtain call and Clift Garrett had to put on a smile.

It was not genuine…

It was not even convincing...

It was rather a smile of disbelief…

Oct-8-2009 14:21

Makensie, known for her hot temper, grew furious.

Clift could see a change in her eyes. A deadly, ice blue stare boar into him.

"It won't...DARLING, she said, mocking his tone. "You chose to be a visitor in MY son's life. Yes, MY son. He is MINE. I basically raised that child from the time he was a baby. Now, I know you don't truly give a damn about him. You wouldn't have cared at all, had I chose to terminate my pregnancy. So, you know what, Clift Garrett? You don't ANY rights to tell ME, what the HELL you are going to do with MY son. You got that? I no longer am a push over for your pathetic charm. It does not move me in the least. You go around, tramping around the country, not knowing when to keep it in your pants. Well I tell you what, you go do whatever you want with your current lady in your life, and if she is smart, she will drop you like a hot sack of potatoes. The ONLY thing Im glad about, concerning YOU, is MY son who came into my life. You are NOT getting shared custody of MY son. I will make sure of that. I will do whatever I have to do to keep my son with me at all times. If you want a weekend visit with him, you will do so IN New YORK. Nowhere else. When Cody turns 18, he can make his choices but until then, he is with ME, at all times. However, I know where he will choose to be. With the person who took care of him, whose been loyal to him, and who truly LOVES him. All you know how to do is make a baby. .You don't know how to take care of a child. You dont have the TIME"

Clift blew out a breath, that he seemed to have been holding. He's never seen Makensie so dangerously mad.

"I've made my mistakes, Mak, but I dont consider Cody, OUR son, one of them. I want to be a good Father to him....", he said, until Makensie cut him off.

She laughed sarcastically, which Clift hated, and said, "So, now that all the tough stuff is over with...or the annoying things, like the crying in the middle of the night, the diaper changes, etc...you want to have something to do with him. Now that its easier on you. You should've thought of this a long time ago, SWEET heart"

Not letting him say anything, she leaned in close to him, and said in a very soft, but deadly tone, "I will do whatever I have to do to keep Cody in my custody. If you want to visit with MY son once in awhile, on weekends, you can do so...IF he is available but, only then. You havent done ANYTHING financially for him at all, so guess what Mr Garrett? You get no say in any of this. I've supported my son financially...ME....not YOU....I'm the sole provider in my eyes, for Cody James Garrett......YOU might do something for him, IF you have the time.....but, Im the one who has provided for him mainly, and you can not deny THAT. You do what you think you have to do to get what you want, but, I will be one step ahead of you, and I will pull all my resources to make sure that you don't get the custody you want. I will fight you, Clift. You can make this easy ...and think about Cody, for a CHANGE....and not put him through this fight. He does want to see you, and I won't keep him from seeing you, but, he will not spend spring or summer with you...or be staying with your mother at ANY time , while you are out doing God knows what"

Clift, who was growing rather upset himself, said, "I love my son"

Clapping, again, with sarcasm, she said, "Bravo, you do love your son, and that is great....but, you still arent having it your way., and you know what? I doubt you will get your way with Violet Parr either. Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just snap your fingers and get what you want? You might be the biological father of Cody and Isabella....but that does not make you a DAD! Remember that"

Clift has never seen Makensie so vicious. A mother and her young, I guess you dont mess with, he was thinking to himself.

"You've never given me a chance, Makensie", Clift said.

YOU LIAR!", she said, a bit too loudly, as other customers looked toward them. More quietly, she said, "You are wrong. You have had plenty of opportunities to spend time with your son, but other things, or WOMEN, were more important. That is why I paid a visit to your current girlfriend, or whatever she is, to help SAVE her from YOU. I loved you very much, Clift Garrett, at one time, and I still have a thing for you, but you know what? I have a little boy involved now, that I would KILL over....and I will not let ANYONE sway me in my decisions when it comes to him, not even YOU"

The waiter finally returned with their food, as she pushed her plate away.

"I've lost my appetite", Makensie said, taking a drink of her champagne.

She put the glass aside, and said, "This tastes nasty. I'm a wine drinker, anyway"

The waiter nods, and said, "Do you care for a glass of wine then, Ma'm?"

"No thank you. I'm fine", she said, managing a smile.

Clift said, more softly, "Mak, you have to eat. Come on. I don't want to ruin our meal, or our evening"

"This wasn't a date, Clift. You know, I was almost looking forward to see you tonight. Until you opened your mouth, and showed how foolish you really are. We've always had a good relationship with each other Clift...and I want to keep that, but, if you choose to TRY to take my son for me, for just ANY length of time....then God be with you. That's all I have to say", Makensie said, as she stood up, tossing her napkin on the table, as she walked off.

Clift sighed, not believing how this evening turned out, and totally shocked at how TOUGH Makensie was. He knew she could be a tough nut, but, he never knew how much she could be one, until tonight. Ruthless. Makensie Brewer could be ruthless if she wanted to be. .

((sorry for double post))

He took care of the bill, then stepped out of Sami's. He didn't want to go see Vulkie, she was mad at him...and he didn't know why, since he's never made her any promises, and he really didn't want to see Makensie so furious, especially since she.....

"What?", he said.

"Oh no!", Clift said.

Makensie was seen walking into the Tricky Mister.

Not good, he thought.

********************************

Tricky Mister

Makensie walked in, obviously mad, and sat down at the bar.

"I want a double shot of whiskey, of your best kind, Cyrus", Makensie said, slapping the table, as she looked around.

"You got it, Mak" , he said.

She needed a few drinks, and a few shots to calm her. Makensie could not believe Clift Garrett.

Makensie loved the man, but when it came to her son...noone was going to sway her decision OR tell her what they were going to do with him. NOONE.

She looked out the window, and saw Clift walking close to the door, then walking away.

"He better not check on me at all tonight", she said to herself, as she took the double shots of whiskey, and ordered two more, along with a mixed drink, 7 and 7.

Oct-8-2009 15:05

She rubbed her face, and thought, Not only am I mad, I'm rather confused myself. Clift has never been anything more than a gentleman. Why the sudden change? The old Clift would've seen that I'm the one who has taken the full care of him, and not try to disrupt HIS life. This is what he would be doing, if he chose to battle. He would only be hurting his son. Clift surely hasnt grown heartless has he?, she thinks.

Shrugging, she continued in thought, He cant get custody anyway. The law will see to that.

Feeling the slight effects of alcohol, she started socializing a bit with people around her, and began to relax a bit, without being out of control.

3 hours later - outside Tricky Mister

Makensie was having a good time with some friends who showed up at some point.

Laughing and carrying on, as she slightly staggered to her car that was waiting for her, she slurred, "OH, Grrrreat!"

Leaning against her car, with arms folded, was Clift.

"I told you all I need to say, now move it b4 you ruin my good evening I had going, AFTER I left Sami's", Makensie said, as she tried to open the door.

Clift wouldn't budge.

"Look, Mr Garrett....", Makensie started to say.

Clift said, in a tone that she has never heard him take with her, "I'm TIRED of you talking to me as though as I'm some guy you just met"

Rolling her eyes, she said, "Fine, fine fine. You said your point, now move. Please"

"I am not letting you go in this shape. You are a drunken mess, and you shouldn't be going home to your son like that", he said, sternly.

Makensie stopped abruptly with trying to get in the car, and she straightened her posture, as she glares at him, saying, "How DARE you tell ME how to act, when I've been doing JUST fine on my own with him. My SON is in BED....and if you were ANY kind of Father...."

"Yes, you always remind me what a poor Father I am. Why can't you give me a chance?' That is all Im asking", he said.

"ALL you are asking for? You are asking to keep him over the spring and summer....and that is absurd. You know full well the law won't allow that, so why do you insist...", Makensie was saying.

Clift walked closer to Makensie, and said, "I want to be apart of my son's life"

"..and you CAN, every other weekend, IN New York", Makensie said, in a final answer tone.

Makensie turned quickly, and almost lost her balance, as Clift grabbed her arm, turning her to him.

Clift started to kiss her, and she pulled back.

"Ohhh no....I'm drunk but, I'm not foolish. Anymore. You are NOT going to do this to me, Clift Garrett. You know I still love you, and regardless if you've never made promises to me.......*more*

Oct-8-2009 17:07

"....or to anyone, as you always say, you know that deep down you love me too"

She stopped, then thought to herself, "Why did I say that?"

Out loud, to Clift, she said, "I'm sorry, alcohol talking but anyway, I'm not letting you take advantage of my drunkness so....I'm going now. Why you are here now, is beyond me. SHouldn't you be with your new girlfriend?"

"For the hundredth time, she is NOT my girlfriend. I just met the woman. Now, will you let me take you for some coffee to help sober you up a bit? Its the least I can do, since I fouled up dinner", Clift said, in the manner that souinds more like him.

"Well, ok...if you insist. Carlos will be home in an hour from his business travels so, I should be home by then", she said, more to herself, than to Clift.

Off they went, to the nearest coffee shop, Makensie looping her arm through Clift's, to steady herself better.

Knowing that Clift was going to meet his "old flame" again,Vulkiedecided to write a small note,saying that Vulkie left the city for a few days. But Vulkie was still staying in NY. She was going to think over a few things,if she wanted to put and end to her relationship or to continue with it,the risk being another "old flame".

Makensie on the one side,Clift on the other. A tough decision for Vulkie...

"Dear Clift,

I'm leaving town for a few days. I need to get my mind settled. I've had a beautiful relationship with you and still want to meet you. But I need some time on my own. I do hope that you will agree with this. Don't try to look for me. I'll be back... Sometime...

Vulkie/Victoria"

With that,I made a "red lipstick kiss" on the note and drove towards Clift's house.

Suddenly,a car pulled up and Makensie and Clift were getting out.

"What the deuce?" I murmered and stayed in my car,lights out and engine out.

Makensie was a bit tipsy and Clift himself had his hair in an unusual way.

"That backstabbing b*tch. I'll make her pay" I murmered and searched the glove compartment for my old Colt.38 revolver.

I stepped out of the car... The next thing I knew,was that everything blacked out and I heard a scream...
