" 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.

" Thank you for meeting with me." I say to Daniella, who has spared me a few minutes of her time, during her break.She nods. " I was surprised, to hear that you wanted to meet with me."" I was thinking that maybe, as time passes, we would be comfortable around each other. I mean, my dad will be marrying your mom soon."" I have no problem with you." She says so fast, that I get taken aback and I have to take a second, before I answer." I never thought of you as someone who had a problem with me. " I say with a small frown." N-no, don't get me wrong. What I meant to say -------"" Was that getting used to the changes in our lives, might be different, for each one of us." I finish for her." Yes, right. Um, I don't have much time left......" She trails off, reminding me to get to the point.And that's what I do." My dad

He should have remained where he stood, because now that he is walking towards me and the distance between us, is closing, I'm truly getting upset.He lied to me, it's as simple as that." Skylar." He reaches out his hand to touch me, but I take a step back." You're here. Reece, you are here." My voice rises a level, when I repeat my words." I know and I am aware of how this may look, but --------"" No, no, no buts. It's as clear as day that you lied to me and I should be asking you why, but I'm too upset, so I'll just leave you be." I say, before turning around and walking off." No, no, Skylar, wait!" I jerk my arm back, when I feel him touch me." Don't touch me, Reece, just don't. You lied to me, when I gave you no reason to do so."" I know, I know, and I want to tell you the reason for me being here when --------"

" I'm sorry." I hear these words being said, as I come into consciousness. By the bright lights and the beeping sound, it's as clear as day that I am somewhere, I wish I didn't have to be. The hospital. I turn my head to where I heard the voice, and that's when I see him. " Thank goodness my mom is not here, to see me like this." I mumble. She would have freaked out and started babying me. His first reaction is to move his eyes all over my face, before he leans forward and literally hides his face in the bed. " Reece." I call him, but he doesn't move. I call him again, but he neither moves. My heart starts to race, when I ask this question, as something comes to mind. " Are they gone?" It's then, he picks his head up to look at me. There's tears in his eyes and I can tell that he is trying, by al

I have heard of people, wishing that they could go back in time, to undo, the undone now. At some point, my thoughts had taken me there, where I wished, that night was different. But I know that one can't undo the yesterday, and only today, stares one in the face, for them to take charge of it. I have cried and cried, and all the times I did, I experienced a headache. It didn't help that I had just come back from the hospital, hours ago, feeling really tired and wanting to be alone for some time. My parents and friends, have felt differently, wanting to be around me each time. I didn't want to be rude and demand time alone, so I just took it as them, not wanting me to feel alone. I felt grateful, to Reece, for making a way, for both my parents to be here with me. He truly didn't want me to be alone. His thoughts were leaned towards two years ago, in which he didn't want a repeat of. H

" Do you ever think about the future?" He asks me." Sometimes, why?" I say.He doesn't answer for a few seconds as we are walking, until at some point, he does." I haven't been able to think of me alone in the future. It's not possible anymore." He glances to me and days, " I see you in it."My heart skips a beat, when I hear this coming from him." I think about you a lot."" Does this mean, there's a possibility of seeing me in your future?"I smile at him.Pulling his arm around my shoulders, I wrap my own arm around his middle and we continue on.When we finally reach my apartment complex, we turn to each other." Well, this is me." I say.He reaches out his hand, to gently push back my hair behind my ear." I want to take you away, for a while."" Y
