A Single Mom Meets Someone New Ch 91

Skylar drove towards Gillian’s loft. She called Gillian’s phone over and over. She gave up and called Jaime.

“Hello.” She answered. 

“Hey Jaime is Skylar. Do you know where Gillian is?” Skylar asked. 

“No and why should I tell you any way?” Jaime asked. 

“Gillian and I talked last night and worked everything out. I know you still have her low jacked so just tell me where she is.” Skylar said. 

“We dropped Gillian and Grace at Grace’s last night.” Jaime said. 

“That was last night. I want to know where she is right now.” Skylar said. 

“Hold on.” Jaime said. “It looks like she’s at the big house.” 

“Thanks.” Skylar hung up the phone and made a u-turn.

“Do you know where did Skylar go in the middle of eating?” Tina asked. 

“Who knows?” Bette responded quickly. 

“Didn’t you ask Liz?” Tina asked back as she steered the car through traffic.

“No.” Bette said.

“That’s odd. She’s usually the last to leave.” Tina made an observation. 

“Sky went to find sissy.” Victoria blurted out from the back seat. Bette turned quickly in her seat. 

“Bette?” Tina said. 

“Yeah babe?” Bette asked back calmly. 

“Why did Skylar go looking for Gillian and why didn’t you tell me?” Tina asked trying not to raise her voice in the car. 

“Sissy didn’t show for brunch and Aunt Kit was worried about her. Mama told her to go.” Victoria said again. 

Bette looked over at Tina who had her teeth gritted so tight Bette was afraid she was going to crack a tooth. 

Tina pulled the car and got out of the car. She walked behind the car and waited for Bette. Bette took a deep breathe and followed Tina. 

Victoria turned in her seat to see Tina yelling at Bette. 

“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me. Of all things you decide to leave me out of you pick this. Especially after last night.!” Tina yelled.

“I didn’t want to upset you until I knew it was something to get upset over and still don’t know that it is. Skylar is still way more overprotective of Gillian than you or I ever have been. She would have gone after Gillian regardless of what I said.” Bette said.
