All's Fair in love and hate Chapter 62
CUTLER "Define argued", I practically growled over the phone."That thing you both do when you are upset. It's only for five months for pit's sake"Five months of torture if we were looking at it correctly."I'm not sticking around to be the next mayor of Whoville"With the hot air, too much fucking sun while we were at it, being a country bumpkin was the last thing on my mind let alone being a mayor."You do know that's not its name right?"I knew but I still pretended not to, to erase all the years of solitude in this forbid place.While others fell for the old country charm, I considered myself an odd ball who atleast could tolerate the bustle and hustle of the city than the sound of sheep bleating in the middle of the night.Because that was Willow Way summed up in a night. With sheep bleating.Willow Way was a typical town in an even dead part of the county where nothing happened.Frightfully boring.I would have probably said those two words about the town had I been called in

CLAIREZade Cutler.First born son of the mayor who I might have or might not have insulted.Bad enough having had to drag the conversation when he first said his name but right now at this second it was excruciatingly difficult seating a few inches away from him.I might not have told him my name to avoid any alterations in the future but hey he was driving home and if he knew his way around town it wouldn't take him long to know my name and my parent's names.Not that it was a big deal anyway. So what if he knew my parents hated his parents and would do absolutely anything to annihilate the competition at the contest?So what if I had called his father a big cheat? He didn't have a badge on him to arrest me so I shouldn't have been somewhat scared.Yet my hands clutched the knee length cardigan to my body, at the same time became sweaty and my knees must have given out the minute I entered his car.Or maybe it was him?True to the rumors, Zade Cutler was a tad bit goodlooking but no

ZADE CUTLERClaire Hayden hated my guts and some part of me had fun with that little piece of information.While San Francisco offered tons of women who would gladly suck me off with a command, Willow Way on the other hand had ladies that expected you to wed and bed them.You can imagine my surprise when I found out a gorgeous blonde like Claire Hayden wasn't in the least bit interested in me. Neither to bed or to wed.My ego had never felt battered like it did in this past week and like a knight on a quest, I had set out on a mission.Seduce the fiesty Claire Hayden.I admit it saying it that loud made me sound like a dick and maybe I was one but as long as my father intended on keeping me here, what was to keep a man from having fun?"Don't get like that Zade. He's only looking out for you", my mother pulled me out of my reverie and I swirled the vintage scotch in my hands with an unsatisfied grunt.I loved scotch but it was different when it came from my father's house and was boug

CLAIRE"No! Don't... Axel don't", I warned and he stared at me for a minute contemplating whether I had the right to tell him what to do or not before he dipped his hand in the paint and I sighed."Don't give him that face. The kid just wants some fun", Riley laughed taking Axel's hand and imprinting it in our cream colored walls."You and I have a different definition of fun especially if it involves doing laundry"In his white and blue sailor outfit, I was pretty sure the minute we left my little printing shop Axel would look like a ring Grinch covered wholly with green paint.As a mother I found that cute but at the same time as a woman who had a lot on her hands found that exhausting.Riley dipped her brush in the bucket of paint starting off from the left side while Axel standing at a mere five feet or so messily painted the wall with his bare hands.He cooed calling me every second to see his work of art and every time my baby smiled at me it was like reminding me that I had one

ZADE"Unfortunately? I thought you liked me"Clad in a pretty dress with a floral imprint, Claire Hayden turned around, the host Mrs Simone looking at both of us like she could somehow taste the tension.Couldn't blame her though. There was tension because I was here, in a book club just to see her.Never mind the fact that I had seen her yesterday at Falcon's. Pure coincidence if you asked me.I had gone there for a drink after a rather good tip from my brother Sawyer that they had atleast good liquor. Maybe I had gone there for more than just liquor.I'd hoped I would find a nice woman for the night, ease up my frustrations and tension but leave it to whoever controlled fate to lead me straight to Claire Hayden.Chugging a glass of lemonade at Falcon's with her handy laptop by her side, she had been to engrossed to notice me and for the most part of it I had sat at the farthest corner this time keeping distance from her.Watching her work like I did this morning at Ginger's. All tho

CLAIRE It all happened so fast and while my reporter instincts kicked into high gear to scribble down a few things on my handy notebook, I all but tried to remain calm as Lucia returned to us we atleast a half smile on her face.For the most part of it, my eyes were glued to the man who was now drenched to the bone and with two heavy blankets on his right shoulder.Shocked that he would even consider it, we all watched as Zade sprinted to the burning house without looking back.Vienna Smith gasped behind me as if she couldn't believe it. I almost quaked.Granted Zade was well Zade annoying at best and he might have made me mad a few hours ago but here I was storming into the house that had flames dancing wickedly around them.I could hear Lucia's kids scream and I shuddered at their screams, at the thought of them being reduced to nothing but sizzling flesh or ash depending on how long the Sheriff planned to take.Our hearts were in our throats and for the first time during a weekday

ZADE"Z? Z, help me!"Came Sawyer's scream. A six year old trapped in a fire that his own father started."He's already gone boy! Come", my father tugged at my hand.My mother and my other brothers were already at my grandma's house that night. Sawyer and I had come back home a bit early with our father. He was our favorite because John Cutler gave us everything we wanted.And that was the very definition of a good father to us. Only that night changed for me and Sawyer.John Cutler had started the fire. In his furious rage of trying to punish us for destroying important papers to him, he had slapped the lantern off his table and the fire had started roaring faster than we could realize what had happened.Ofcourse being the sleazy bastard he was, he'd tried to save his own skin by getting out of the house fast unintentionally locking us in.I had managed to escape the house but Sawyer had been lost in the flames trying to follow me.When my father had seen me out of the house unharme

CLAIRE"Should we perhaps add sesame seeds?""Good God, Frida the pie is already baked", my father grunted taking his coat from the rack."Pie! Pie!" Axel clapped, I laughed.Running five minutes late, my mother was jittery. Last minute jitters my father called it.And my dearest father had stood watch over the pie like a sentinel. He was trying to ensure an incident like last time didn't happen.An incident where mom got nervous added a whole lot of cinnamon to the pie last minute that had made my dad hundred percent sure they would have won had she not done that.Not trying to raise their hopes up but this year's pie was a sure win. You could taste the pumpkin right in there, the texture of the pie itself was crusty and smooth but not like the monstrosity of last year.I would be cheering on if I didn't know for a fact that the Cutlers had this in the bag.Genevieve to this day was still the best pie maker, something I was suspicious about but decided to let it roll down my back.If
