I never thought I'd here these words, come from him, let alone, him saying them to my face. It hits differently now, then how it may have sounded years ago.
Anyway, I can't overthink on anything, because we are simply talking about the past and nothing else.
" She belongs to someone else now."
He opens his mouth to say something but I beat him to it.
" I gave them the right to become parents. The right belongs to them and so you can't -------"
" Can't what? Call her ours?" I look away from him, not wanting to respond to that.
" I thought I was meant to talk about everything."
I hear him sigh. " I want to know everything."
" There's not much to tell, just in case you were expecting anything more, than what I'll say."
" I'm open to hear anything."
" Fine." I steal a glance his w

" Skylar." I hear a voice call my name.But I could be dreaming, so I stubbornly don't wake up or respond. I am enjoying my sleep, besides, it's too early for my liking." Skylar." The voice calls me again.With my hearing senses awakening, I recognise it to be a male voice.I feel the bed dip, before my name is called again." Hmm?" I give a response." I finally got to see you in the morning."Wait, what?My whole body wakes up but tenses, as my eyes pop open. I look around me until I find someone looking down at me.It's him, oh my gosh, it's Mr Cullen.It sinks in fast that Mr Cullen is here and that he is watching me, bloody waking up. My eyes widen and I quickly pull the covers over my head, hiding myself away.What is he doing in my room?" I already saw you." I hear him say.I frown a little because I can hear him smiling. Why is he ---------" Breakfast's read

Who are you Reece Cullen?This is the one question that has been bugging me, for the whole day, that I have spent around him and Ava.I've never spent so much time around this man yet today, there's been a change of things, in which I was introduced to. I've been introduced to a Reece Cullen who showed a caring side, the softer side in the presence of Ava, a Reece Cullen who smiled.It was a real smile and not a smirk or grin. I have witnessed a Reece Cullen, who actually laughed, and even stuffed his face with spicy noodles. He even helped me tidy up at my apartment, both of us taking turns to entertain Ava, while the other volunteered to a different task.The most that has strike me to continuously ask this question, is the sight of Reece handling Ava. My mind couldn't help but place an image of Reece, as a dad. As I sit here on the bench, watching him push on the swing chair, that Ava is sitting in, I keep

We had taken a picture, the three of us. Reece, Ava and me, and today of all days, after so many have passed, I've stared at the picture more than I would liked to. It's like something in me, has been tempted to do it each time.I haven't seen them since that day and it's hitting differently, because I've been thinking too much about them, especially Reece's words. He told me that he cares about me and I chose to believe him that day, even today, that belief has not withered.He's staying away, like I asked him to. We haven't seen each other for so many days, and his words of respecting my wish and giving me space, has come into mind as a reminder. He listened and I should be happy, right?Then why doesn't it feel right to be happy right now?" So something did happen, besides the obvious."I look up from the picture and I meet Lucia's eyes." How did you find me?" I can't

I had asked him about what we are doing, and he had answered with words along the line of us, just feeling. I had done nothing else but feel at that moment, where I was in his arms.In all honesty, I can't deny that something within me fluttered, I didn't admit it but I think my response to him, proved everything to him. What has taken me aback, is that throughout the days passed, since I last saw him, I haven't felt any regret.I am still trying to figure out my own feelings, and what it is, that always pushes me to cross his path. It's like something pushes for us to meet somehow and I don't want to say it out loud, that soon, I might get used to it, which is not good.Especially now, since I still need to figure things out, to maybe put a name to whatever it is, that is happening between us. One thing I thought I'd end up doing, in these passed 5 days, is overthinking and going crazy, trying to make sense of my thoug

" What are you thinking about?" I'm knocked out of my thoughts by the sound of his voice.I turn to look at him, where he lays on his side close to me, with his arm wrapped around my middle while I lay on my back.The longer we stare at each other, something shifts in his eyes and he frowns at me." No, don't do that. You're over thinking again." He says, hiding his face in the crook of my neck." No, it's just that....." I let out a sigh, before starting again. " What did you say to my parents?"I feel him tense up next to me. He pulls his head back, so he can look down at me, resting his head on his propped up arm." Let's not talk about it."" Why not? They are my parents." I say, now frowning at him.He shifts on the bed and sits up now." Let's not, okay? Talking about this will only make you upset and will give you a

" I think I'm sold on those spicy noodles." Reece comments, as he returns from the kitchen." I kinda suspected that you'd be a goner, when you even wanted seconds."" I'm usually not big on spicy food but there's something about them." He says, joining me on the couch and covering both of us with a blanket." Maybe I'm more convincing."" Maybe that's it." He says, smirking at me.I try to suppress a smile but a shy one comes out." Did you ever think of showing up at my place, in the past couple of days?"" Many times, but I had to hold myself back."" And that's when you decided to become a stalker."" Again, I was simply keeping an eye on you, I wanted to make sure that you were safe."" Are you trying to divert me from calling what you did creepy?"" No, I just think that taking extra precautions in making sure that you are safe, wont ever hurt anyone."

I am woken up by the feeling of eyes on me, someone is watching me.My eyes flutter open and I blink a couple of times, to adjust to my surroundings, but the gaze on me, forces me to stop and to look up. My heart stops for a few seconds, when I meet blue eyes, staring down at me.My own widen, when it sinks in mind that Reece Cullen has been watching me sleep. I quickly cover my head, trying to hide away from his eyes.My comfort only lasts for a few seconds before the cover is snatched away from me, and my head is uncovered. I close my eyes shut, not even wanting to see his face as a blush of embarrassment hits me.Tingles touch my spine, when I feel his breath touch my skin." This is what I had missed the last time, when you ran." He says close to my ear, before I feel him lean back.My eyes flutter open and I look at him again." Don't try to hide away

I haven't found the words to speak, after overhearing my parents conversation, concerning Reece. My dad believes that now that he is involved, he will be able to protect and keep me away from Reece. He believes that he can serve as that wall, that will draw Reece back.The words seem to fall short, in how I can convince them to see that I don't share, the same mindset as them. I don't wish to be far away from Reece anymore, but I want to be near him.I want to explore more of what is happening between us, because I can't avoid him. He is Reece, that I want to get to know." Skylar, you've been really quiet, since you came out of your room." Dad points out." Don't you like the food?" Mom asks." The food is nice mom, I'm just not really hungry."" You have to eat Skylar, I'm pretty sure that you didn't eat this morning."" I did, actually."" Will you finally tell us, where you were last night?" Mom asks, maki
