At Your Best Behavior

…Mekayla POV…I watch as this man gives me what appears to be his best cocky smile that he could mustard. His lips however do seem to have some kind of an effect on me. I watch him up and down as I try to figure him out."Do you like what you see?"I'm suddenly slammed back to reality with a big bang and then I realize what I've just did."Oh god, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-"He lifts his hand to stop me from explaining myself. He looks down at the cocoa before him and his smile has now completely consumed me as dimples appeared on his cheeks."No need. I get that kind of a reaction a lot"I then turn my full attention to him and lift my eyebrow in response to his remark."Oh?"I'm very curious as to why this man thinks that all women would bow at his feet when he enters a room."I mean…didn't you?"I feel a blush creeping up on my cheeks and I realize I've overplayed my hand. I was the one that was just

Keeping Secrets

...Xavien POV...Now I really did put my foot into that one. I am known for my boyish charm and being fairly friendly around the ladies, but that, well I could barely keep two words together. A woman does not have an effect like that on me, but this girl had my knees weak and had me totally breathless. But let us not forget who she really is and that is a Winters. They are one of the affluent families in this town that looks down onto men like me.But I cannot get her face out of my head, she is flawless and holds a beauty beyond compare. I can still smell the lily and just a hint of vanilla that is lingering on my clothes from when I was standing only inches away from her. She is like a breath of fresh air in a field of white flowers on a hot Mekayla's day.It is women like Mekayla Winters that shall be my undoing. I shall not even entertain the thought any further, a love with a woman like that will surely be forbidden. There is no way that Mr Winters will let such

Home Sweet Home

…Mekayla POV…I stand in total shock at how my parents are acting but on second thought, what did I expect from my parents. Of course, they didn't change, they are still the same manipulative, scheming parents as always. I better act the way that she wants me to, otherwise this could be a very long and exhausting few days."Please to meet you, Raymond"He looks your way and then takes your hand and kisses it while staring at me from under his hat. He probably thinks he's being very charming but I see through his plans. He's only after the Winters fortune. What surprises me the most is that my parents can't see through him but then again, they must be blinded by their desperation for me to marry into a "good" family."It's only my pleasure, Miss Winters""Don't be so modest, Raymond, you can call her Mekayla, ever one calls her that"Of course, my mother would be the one that makes me off to be just another doll in her playhouse. I'm never

Breakfast For One

...Xavien POV...When I saw Billy on the porch standing at me looking that way, my heart dropped into my boots. The first thing that ran through my mind was Molly. I hope that there is nothing wrong with her and the baby. If there is, then why is he standing on the porch and not at home with her. He is about to hear seven ways of cursing coming his way."Billy, what is wrong? What has got you so spooked?""Spooked? Why would I be spooked?""Is something wrong with Molly and the baby?""Do you think I would be standing here if there was something wrong?""What is wrong then?""I don't understand, why would something be wrong?"This is like drawing water out of a rock. Can the man not just say what is wrong? I have to play twenty questions to get a decent answer from him."Why are you looking so worried then?""I am not worried.""Dammit just get out with it""Oh, Morning Star has gone into labor.""Is something wrong wi

Change In Plans

…Mekayla POV…I lay down on my bed and stare at the all so familiar ceiling that I've been looking at what feels like all my life. All the memories of this life I left behind come back to me. All the rules and proper etiquette I had to follow. The proper lady I had to be. It feels like everything starts to suffocate me that's when I remembered something wonderful about this house. I jump up from my bed and quickly make my way to my old trusty window.I look out of it and I remember exactly where to step not to fall off the roof and where to reach the tree to escape without my parents knowing.I bit my lip and quickly lock my door. I put on something warmer and then very carefully make my way to the ground. I almost fall off the last branch but luckily find my feet. It feels as if I'm in a spy movie and I sneak away into the fields. I remember how I would escape to my own private getaway. It's not far from our estate. It's an old abandoned cottage. I don'

Out On The Town

…Xavien POV…It seems like a certain Mr. Young does not have respect for a woman again. Now I know what I want to do to his disrespecting ass, but if I can is entirely a different story. But believe me, I am not letting it pass, so with utter annoyance, I turn to where he is sitting at the table behind me."Good morning Raymond. Don't you think that you should have your morning coffee before you are claiming Ms. Winters?""Why don't you mind your business Caruso?""Why should I go play with my baler if I can irritate you?""Then, keep your opinions to yourself and carry on minding your business.""Nah, my business has minded itself. Now tell me about Ms. Winters being yours; I did not see she was on auction Sunday that passed."And did I hit a nerve? Raymond here thinks that the town's women should bow down whenever he walks into a room? In fact, he wants every man to do, as well. He thinks the fake money that he flashes around makes

Put Your Leash On

…Mekayla POV…I am out on the town with Tina and is forced to buy expensive gifts for the family, which I know they won't like anyway. They just care about their little "click" that they like to call family. I never really fitted in with them. They like gifts that represent the wealth that they are. I like to buy gifts that mean something on a deeper level.Don't get me wrong; when I was younger, I would care a great deal about what they would think about the gift that I spend hours even days to buy the right one. But then I soon discovered that their reaction was always the same "That's nice, dear." So I gave up on the whole "trying to get the perfect gift thing" and just picked the first thing I see. I know that their reaction will be the same.I walk arm in arm with my sister from one shop to another, and the day hasn't even started yet. I need my hot cocoa and maybe also a bit of that bad boy that seems to have captured my attention, at the very leas

The Garden Boy

...Xavien POV...I have been called a lot of things before, but not yet a garden boy. But I will take it from where it comes and rub it off from my shoulder. Now how Mekayla is related to that, well, that just makes no sense. She seems like they are worlds apart; she is not the least bit like them at all. I think that what attracts me the most to her; she is not just like any other girl. So this garden boy is hoping that maybe he can explore Mekayla Winters a whole lot more.But let's backtrack a few steps; why do I care what she is like or not? I am so far out of her league that I don't even touch base. A woman like Mekayla would never see anything in a guy such as me. Why do people, especially this town, have to dictate who you can or cannot see? You get your kind of people, and then you get people like that, and I do not even fall into these categories. I am my own man; if you are not satisfied, then you should just walk on past.Now, what am I going to do with thi

Mr. Grumpy

…Mekayla POV…I close the door behind me and lean against it, holding the scarf close to my chest. It feels as if I'm in some fairytale. Prince charming calling at my door, giving me something that I lost and is dear to my heart, which I thought I'll never see again. I close my eyes and bathe in the eternities of this impressively attractive man that just stood at my door."What are you doing?"I jump when I hear the high pitch voice of Tina."Nothing…nothing. Do you want something?""Well now that you mention it…"Oh god, I shouldn't have said anything. She's just going to let me listen to one of her stories of how she achieved something when no one else could. Then someone opens the front door. It's my brother Tyler."Well look what the cat dragged in. I never thought we'll see you around these parts again little sis?"Of course, he calls me little sis. To him, I'm nothing but the same girl that bothered him and h

Cozy By The Fireplace

...Xavien POV...There is more of a chill in the air this morning, winter is setting in, and the snow has taken over the town. It truly is a winter wonderland; that is if you are into the whole jolly season thing. People mostly celebrate it for all the wrong reasons. Christmas is a time for families, not 'let me see who can buy you the most expensive gift.'So the cold is stopping me from taking my morning walk, but perhaps it is my dreary mood from yesterday. I told myself that I would not bring my irritation from yesterday into this morning. Yet I have, and that is about to increase itself. Guess what? She is phoning again."Morning Becky.""Morning X.""It is Xavien. What do you want?""Sorry I did not phone back last night.""I did not expect you to. You never were good with things like...timing."This has already been the longest three minutes of my life. There is a reason why people become your ex. In Becky's instance, there is a little
