Dangerous Heartbeats 59 - Cute yet sexy
♡ Alfred ♡"Go do your homework in the living room. We'll join you soon," Skylar told Aurora, who nodded and got up from the stool. She smiled at me, and I returned the gesture, watching her walk out of the kitchen."She's adorable. I bet she takes after you," I said, smiling at Skylar. She rolled her eyes as she grabbed her dish and walked to the sink.Right. I was too caught up enjoying breakfast to remember that she was mad at me. I must have been crazy to show up at her house at night during that heavy rainfall. It was even crazier that I didn't plan to leave until I talked to her. What if she had already gone to bed? Or what if she hadn't even seen me? I would have frozen to death under the rain, looking pathetic when she found me the next day. Now, I was determined to earn her forgiveness, although it seemed like she wasn't mad anymore. Well, I wouldn't know for sure. Dad was the cause of all this. I knew he could be petty, but I never expected him to go behind my back and tell

♡ Skylar ♡"Skylar DeNovo has nothing to do with this either, and I hope her name stays out of everyone's mouth.""That bastard," Ethan growled immediately. "Hey! Tone it down with your curse word! Aurora is just upstairs," Hannah snapped back at him, but I didn't bother to look at them. My attention was focused on Alfred, who was giving a statement.Why did I find it strange that he looked incredibly attractive while giving that statement? The way he emphasized not messing with me repeatedly. Honestly, I found it appealing, and that was...not good."Hey!" I felt someone poke me, and I tore my eyes away from the TV screen, looking back at my two friends who were staring at me in confusion."What?" I asked, furrowing my brows as I looked between the two of them. Ethan rolled his eyes."He's trying to make it seem like he's innocent and has no involvement,""Well, he is." I blurted out those words before I even realized it. Hannah's eyes met mine, and the way she narrowed them in confu

♡ Skylar ♡"Mom, Dad," I called as I stepped into the dining room. I was greeted with silence. My eyes narrowed as I walked up to the table. Normally, Mom and Dad would already be seated there but it was just the food placed on the table. I pushed out a chair and placed my bag down before turning around and walking out of the room.I took the staircase leading to the hallway. I strutted through the hallway, staring at the family pictures that lined the hallway, taking time to study every one of them. I stopped in front of the family picture we had taken a year after they adopted me.Mom and Dad were seated on a long couch, I sat beside Dad, with a few months old Aurora on my lap, and Samantha sat at the other side with Mom. I zoned in on my face. I looked pale, something even my makeup couldn't conceal. The look of pain in my eyes was still there. It was a year since the betrayal, but it still hurt like hell even though I had pretended it didn't. I had nightmares every other night, a

The next day...♡ Skylar ♡"The year is almost coming to an end. Our project should be finished in four months or less" "That's a month before our given time. We can do that, right? You know I'm kind of worried""Hm," Alfred hummed. I raised my head to look at him while his gaze remained on my leg which was placed on his thigh, his fingers brushing through the sole of my feet. Right. How the hell did Alfred get into my house and what the heck led me to put my leg on his? I had no idea also."You have nice feet" he muttered, looking up to meet my eyes. I froze, gulping down nothing as I couldn't take my eyes off him. His electric blue eyes sucking me in as always. I felt the butterflies in my stomach again. He raised a brow and I snapped my eyes shut, but still didn't take my leg away from his."Who doesn't?""I know a lot" he muttered, his fingers still tracing my feet, slowly going up to my legs. I bit back a giggle at the tickling feeling."Alfred, stop it" I muttered. His lips str

♡ Skylar ♡"Isn't this dangerous?" I asked in fear as we stood in front of the Rollercoaster. Alfred shrugged and turned to look at me."We can never know until we try it" he replied. My eyes widened and I took a step back."No, thank you. Aurora and I will just stay down here""She seems to want to try it too" He replied, gesturing to her.I looked down at her, as she stared at the roller coaster in excitement. She was swinging my hand repeatedly as she bounced gleefully.I exhaled. I might as well give it a try. What could go wrong?"Let's go. Just once" I replied and Alfred winked...I was wrong. Many things could go wrong. I remember saying this two times and so many things went wrong. Like when I agreed to stay the night in New Hampshire and things went south and we had to share a room or when I had agreed to get Alfred to fall in love with me, thinking 'nothing can absolutely go wrong' and well look at me now. I'm supposed to make someone's heart beat fast but I'm the one whos
Dangerous Heartbeats 64 - The morning after
♡ Skylar ♡"Let me help" Alfred offered as I pulled open the backseat door. I shook my head."No, it's fine" I muttered. I carried her, letting her rest her head on my shoulder, her legs strapped around my waist. Turning around, I walked into the house.I gently placed her on the bed and walked back out of the house.Alfred was leaning on the car, a parcel in his hands when I came out. Where did he get that from?"Hey, thank you for today" I called quietly. He looked up at me, stretching out the parcel."Someone just delivered this to you" he replied. My brows furrowed as I grabbed it."What?"Suddenly my brain did a rewind. The Informant had indeed said she was going to have the little evidence she got delivered to me today. Oh, shoot. I had totally forgotten about that.I looked back at Alfred and tried to gauge his expression. Did he find it suspicious? He looked like he wanted to ask questions but he was holding it back. Thank Goodness I had no answers to his questions. "Hm, tha
Dangerous Heartbeats 65 - For her
♡ Alfred ♡Skylar hung up, and I sighed, lowering the phone to the table. I stared at her name on my phone in silence, and a sigh escaped my lips as I pushed the chair backward, swirling it around to face the glass wall. She said she wasn't angry, but I knew she was. Was it the ride? We laughed after that, but when we got into the car, the air around us had suddenly grown cold for some reason. Her smile was wiped off her face, and when she did smile, it was fake. The package she had received was indeed suspicious, even if I didn't want to admit it. And when I hugged her, she didn't return the hug. Just stood frozen. How did she expect me to believe I didn't do anything wrong? I exhaled, dragging my palm down my face. Why was it so hard to understand her? It was so hard to know if she wanted me to stay with her or get away from her, if she wanted me to hug her or not. I heard a knock on the door, and I sighed, turning my chair to its normal position. "Come in." The door opened, an
Dangerous Heartbeats 66 - Mystery
♡ Skylar ♡I glanced at the time on my phone's screen after I pulled my car to a stop inside the building parking lot. I glanced out of the car without winding down the window. Cars were parked neatly and not a single soul was there. I sighed and grabbed my bag, about to open the door when my phone rang.I relaxed back in the seat and took a peek at my phone to see Lara's name on the screen. I answered the call immediately. "What's going on?""Will you be stopping over at the office today, ma'am?"I stole a glance at the empty garage before replying."Yes, why?""An envelope was sent in by the mayor, and Mr Miller also sent in a..." she trailed off as if thinking of the proper way to put her next words."Pretty romantic package," she added.My lips unconsciously spread into a smile. I immediately shook my head, my smile dropping. I cleared my throat. "Is that all?""A few papers to sign and documents to review"I nodded as though she could see me. "Okay. I'll be there soon. "I low
