" 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
I can't begin to fathom, what he must have been dreaming of, for his hand to rest against my stomach. Weird feelings spread out within me, in unwanted thoughts, regarding 2 years ago.I found myself questioning about how different things, would have turned out, had he been involved. Had things not turned out the way they did between us, maybe, just maybe......Gosh, I cant even finish the thought, because it's crazy to think about.As I stand in the kitchen, thinking over his hand, that was resting so comfortably against my stomach, my eyes flutter close for a few seconds before I open them again. I let out a sigh as I continue with making some spicy noodles.Yes, you heard right, I'm craving these babies.I just can't believe that I was able to find the noodles, in his kitchen. I thought that he was joking, when he said that he had bought quite a lot for me, sensing how much I like them a
TWO MONTHS LATER.....Reece Cullen is certainly not only a man, that I have come to know, little by little, during these past two months, but he is the man I have deep feelings for.It may seem way too fast, according to some people, but in my opinion, I don't think it is. He has found a way, to make me think about him, more than I have, in the last two years, he makes me smile and I like being around him.There is just something about that man, that makes it so good, be around him. He's been good to me, though I must say, that I've noticed, that in some parts of our conversations, he's witheld or rather, been reserved. I think he's found himself to being careful at times, about things that he thinks may offend me, but I want him to be completely free.I desire for both of us, to be entirely truthful about how we feel, even if, the other may get hurt. At the end of the day, it is still the
" You're so lucky." Penny says, as we come out of our workplace. She has a reason to say this, and he is standing across the street, looking dashing in casual attire, as he waits for me by his car. Reece Cullen is back, he's not here on business, but he's here for me. My heart jumps, when he stands up straight, having noticed me. " Bye guys." That's all I manage to say, before walking away. As if he wants to make it clear, that he is with me, he crosses the street and tucks me under his arm. We cross the road together and he leads me, to the passenger seat, before going over to his side. " You couldn't even wait for me to cross the street?" I say with a raised brow, once he joins me. " Nope. Come here." He gently pulls my face closer and kisses me. I sigh against him, feeling good about having his lips against mine. " Hi." He whispers against my lips. " Hi." I respond, leaning back. " You l
I feel like we are two high school kids, who have been caught by one of their parents, for sneaking out on a school night. She has glanced between us, more times than I can count, and it's making me nervous, because I'm not even sure why she is here." So, when were you planning on telling your family, that you two are together?" She asks, directing the question to Reece.I also glance at Reece, more in surprise, because I thought that he would have told Jane at least, about us. I mean, they are pretty close." I told Colton." Jane and I both scoff at that.My actions, cause him to glance at me but I raise my brow at him, cheekily, might I add." Everyone from my side, knows about us." I say, defending myself.He sighs, knowing that he's in big trouble now." I told you, with you in my mind, there's no one -------" I pretty much cover his mouth with my han
" How is it possible, that you get cuter each time I see you again, my little Ava." I say, touching her curly hair." Coot?" I chuckle, when she tries to say it, looking up at me with her innocent and beautiful grey eyes." Yes,yes, Ava. Cute." I say, softly tickling her sides and earning giggles from her.She tries to move away but I hold her hostage, to my tickle assaults. Hearing her laugh, makes the space around us to feel light.By the time I finally let go of her, she hides her face in my chest, trying to catch her breath. I can't help but smile, when she peeks a glance up at me and I wiggle my brows at her.Balancing my arm on my crossed legs, I rest my face against my hand, just watching her, no, I'm simply admiring how such a little girl could be so full of life and light, she just makes me feel good and okay.Though parts of my day were tensed but being here, wit
I had fallen asleep, next to Ava, and me coning into consciousness and my eyes fluttering open, due to the disturbing sound of loud voices downstairs, proves this.At first, I think I was simply dreaming, but after a few seconds, hearing this, I know that I am hearing right. I move out of bed to investigate, wondering what in the world could be happening, all of a sudden.I am aware that I am still at the Cullen residence, and I'm still in my evening dress, but I'd taken off my shoes a long time ago." Did you think I wouldn't know, that everything was a lie?!"This is what I am able to hear clearly, as I stand at the top, looking down at the scene in the living room.Colton looks beyond upset and he is throwing words at Mrs Cullen?I can't see her expression, because her back is facing me.I don't see anyone else anymore, but the family.
