I woke up this morning with a migraine. Aaron doesn’t care that I have to be up this early for work. Since he is the boss he can stay up as late as he wants and party. I hate that it’s come to me working for my brother. After taking some medicine for my head, I hopped in the shower and got ready to start the day. As I was fixing my breakfast, Aaron informs me that he hired a new wheat handler. I am to collect all his paperwork and get him into the system.

“Why can’t you get your girlfriend to do it? You know I don’t like talking to the new guys you hire.”

“Listen Skyla, I promised Mom and Dad I would take care of you and Dad’s wheat fields. You are part of this family and you are going to work for the business like I do. Jenna is asleep and is sore. I don’t want to wake her so you are going to do it.”

“Sore? Never mind I don’t want to know. Fine, I’ll do it but I swear if this guy starts hitting on me like the last, I’ll quit.”

“Whatever. Hurry up and eat. He will be here at 8:30.”

I finished making my breakfast and sat down at the table. Aaron went back to bed and I rolled my eyes at what he said to me. He didn’t promise Mom and Dad crap. He knew if anything happened to them, he would take over and would get all the money my parents had. I still remember everything from the day it happened.

(Flashback…

Ring... Ring... Ring...

Hello? Yes, this is Skyla Doughty. What? How? Oh my god. Click...

“Aaron wake up! AARON!”

“What in the hell are you screaming and banging on my door for, Skyla?”

“I-I-it’s bad Aaron. M-m-mom and dad.”

“What about them? They will be home soon.”

“No, they won’t. Aaron, the hospital 2 towns over just called and informed me that there was a bad accident, and Mom and Dad didn’t make it.”

“What in the hell are you talking about? Stop f*cking with me Skyla!”

“I’m telling you the truth, Aaron! Mom and Dad are dead! They were in a bad accident and they didn’t make it! Call the hospital if you don’t believe me!”

End of flashback…)

It’s been 2 years since they were killed in that accident and Aaron thinks he has the right put me to work in the family business just because they aren’t here. I can’t wait until I have enough money saved to get the hell away from him. Mom and Dad would have never made me do something I didn’t want to do. After I finished eating, I grabbed the laptop and got everything ready to put the new guy into the system. I sat back at the desk and waited for him to show up.

He is late! It’s 8:45 when I see a black pickup pulling up to the house. The truck door opens and my mouth drops. Holy f*ck! He isn’t an old perv like the rest of them. He is young and looks close to Aaron’s age or even younger than him. He knocked on the door and I let him in without saying a word.

“Sorry I am late, Ms.Doughty. I got lost trying to find the house.”

“I-it’s ok um..”

“Caeleb, Caeleb War.”

“It’s ok Caeleb. Now I need the packet my brother gave you to fill out and I need to get a copy of your driver's license, and social security card and do a background check on you.”

“Yes, ma’am. I did inform your brother when we spoke that I do have a bit of a record. He knows what for and told me it wasn’t a problem.”

“I’ll confirm that with him as soon as I get a chance.”

“Yes, ma’am I understand.”

“Good lord you make me sound a lot older than I am calling me ma’am. My name is Skyla.”

“I understand, Skyla.”

I turned when he said my name and my cheeks began to burn. I won’t lie and say he isn’t attractive because let’s face it, he is freaking hot!

    He said none. How can I believe he hasn't slept with anyone? I mean, he hasn't lied to me yet as far as I know, but look at him. He is way too gorgeous not to have slept with anyone. "So you are still a v*i*r*g*i*n?" "As far as having i*nter*course, yes, I am. I have let girls blow me and I have eaten them, but I never went any further. I wanted to wait until I found the right person." "How many girls have you done that with?" " Only 4. 2 of them were from when I was 16, and the other 2 were from before I moved here. Since I've been here, I haven't paid attention to anyone but you. There have been several girls who have tried to talk to me, but I just walked off." "Thank you for being honest with me Caeleb. You already know what all I have done. When the time is right, what if I'm not good? What if I do something wrong?" "Skyla, stop. There is no need to get worked up over s*e*x*. I could be saying the same thing or I could be worrying that I'm not big enough to please yo

    After we left the restaurant, Caeleb asked if I wanted to ride around and talk. I told him that was fine because I knew he was curious as to what happened with Aaron and I. We rode around in silence for a little while before Caeleb pulled over on a dirt road that led down to a lake and he turned the truck off. "Ok, Skyla. What happened with Aaron?" "Well, he yelled at me and questioned where I've been. He grabbed me by the arm. I told him he didn't have the right to question me because I am now an adult. I pulled away from him after I told him I knew all about him keeping things that belonged to me from me and I knew about the money my parents left for my first car and about all the other stuff the lawyer told me and I could see he was panicking on the inside and was trying to hide it. I finally got free of his grasp and went to my room. As I was leaving, he was nowhere in sight." "So he didn't say anything after you told him you knew about all that?" "No, he didn't. My brothe

    I waited until 1 P.M. to call Aaron. I wasn't going to let him control me like he used to do. I already knew what to expect when he picked up the phone. I was right. He began yelling at me, saying I had him worried all night, and he was so concerned he was about to call the police. I told him to calm down and call off the search party. I told him I was fine, and I was safe. He asked where I was, and I told him he didn't need to know where I was at. That all he needed to know was I was fine. He started yelling again, saying I needed to tell him where I was at. I yelled back at him and told him he didn't have the right to question me. I told him that now that I am legally an adult he has to stop acting like he is my parent. I refused to tell him where I was, but I'm sure he knows I am with Caeleb. As soon as he started yelling at me again, I hung up on him and turned my phone back off. Caeleb asked if I wanted to order something for lunch and I told him that sounded good. We ended up pic

    I woke up to snoring and something heavy across me. My heart began to race and I was on the verge of freaking out when I realized I was in Caeleb' s bed. I lifted his arm and gently placed it on the bed as I got up. I went into the bathroom and did what I needed to do then washed my hands and face. Caeleb was still sound asleep when I exited the bathroom. I went into the living room area and grabbed my phone off the table. I had 3 text messages from Aaron and 1 missed call from him. I rolled my eyes and opened the text. * * Skyla, where are you? It's almost 2 A.M. * * * * Skyla, Hello? Where are you? * * * * If you aren't home or if I don't hear from you by noon, I am calling the police and reporting you as a missing person. * * I laughed at the last text he sent me. I don't get why he is so worried about me now. He has never been worried like this before. Thankfully it's only 7 A.M. so I still have time before he calls the police. That is if he really meant it. I put my phone

    Once we were inside the condo, Caeleb locked the door. He grabbed me by the wrist and pushed me against the door. He crashed his lips into mine and I wrapped my arms around his neck and began to kiss him back. It was a heated makeout session for a few minutes before he pulled away. He rested his head against mine and sighed. "What's wrong, Caeleb?" "I have to tell you about those guys and I don't want it to change the way you feel about me, Skyla." "Caeleb, I doubt my feelings for you will change after you tell me." "I hope they won't because you are the first girl I have ever truly cared bout and I don't want to lose you." "Tell me what is going on, Caeleb. Are those the guys who hurt you?" "Remember how I told you I lived with my aunt before I moved here? No they are not the ones who hurt me." "Yeah. You told me she had bad habits and that's why you left. How do those guys fit in with your aunt then?" Well, my aunt's bad habit was she was really bad off on dr*gs and

    I didn't hear Aaron's mouth after that. He knows I am right but doesn't want to give up his control over me. It didn't surprise me that he forgot my birthday. Since our parents died, I have had to remind him every year that it was my birthday. I was so frustrated with Aaron that I didn't want to be at the house at the moment. I walked out of my room and straight out the door. I didn't care if he was yelling at me asking where I was going. I am now an adult and I don't have to answer to him anymore. I walked down the road and when I got to the first red light coming into the town, I stopped. I looked around and tried to figure out somewhere to go. I decided to head to the little coffee shop down the street. I walked in and ordered a blueberry bagel and a coffee. When my order was ready, I went and sat down at a table and began eating. When I finished my bagel and coffee, I didn't know where else to go after I was ready to leave the coffee shop. I thought about going further into town a

    It has gotten dark and I know I should go home to face Aaron but I don’t want to. I can’t go home right now because if I do, I will probably blow up on him and me doing that will get Caeleb fired. I reached into my pocket to check the time and realized I left it on the cart. I need to go back to ge

    It’s been a month since Caeleb started working for the company and I’ve enjoyed being out in the field as his partner. I still haven’t spoken to my brother but I knew he wouldn’t apologize for the hurtful things he said. Jenna told me she has been trying to get him to say he was sorry but he is stu

    After work, as we were heading back to the house, Caeleb asked me to pull over. “What’s up, Caeleb?” “Ok, so the dream I had last night.” “What about it?” “I think it’s safe now to tell you that I know the voice I heard.” “Ok, who was it?” “It was your voice, Skyla. I’m not going to sa

    “Skyla, if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here for you.” Caeleb says as I am grabbing the door handle to get out of his truck. “Thank you. I’m sorry again for getting mascara on your shirt.” “No big deal. You got it out. See you tomorrow.” I got out of his truck and walked down t
