“Mom, I don't know what you want me to say to you!” Chloe said as she looked from her father to her mother. After like a couple of weeks after their argument, her mother finally had the time to talk with her. She had been coming home only when they were away at school and leaving right before they returned, as her work permitted, she told them. If she didn't know any better, she would have sworn her mother was having an affair in her place of work and it was why it took most of her time, eating away at what should be a family bonding times. “I know I haven't been around for you guys, you especially, and I'm sorry about the way I spoke to you when I knew it was just you trying to bond with me.” Her mother apologized, and her father nodded his head in agreement with what she said. “Yes, little bird. I'm sure you know she didn't mean it that way, and she sure wants to spend more time with you, but she just can't shuffle work and home in a perfect transition, that's all.” He said. Chl
As she pulled Hailey into a hug, Chloe rested her head against hers and let her cry, then she swallowed down the tears that were threatening to surface as well. This wasn't the time to remember her own pain, she needed to be there for her friend, and help her in any way that she could. Sniffing, she tightened her arms around her and closed her eyes, staying like that for a long, long time. When she realized that Hailey wasn't shaking in her arms anymore, or crying, she opened her eyes and pulled back to look at her. “Are you sleeping, Hailey?” she asked and Hailey shook her head. “Of course you were.” She accused, smiling. Hailey shook her head again. “No, Chloe. I'm not sleeping, I'm just thinking.” She explained. “Hmm, I see. What are you thinking about, though?” she asked her as she pushed her gently so that she was now facing her instead of resting against her. “About you! I know something is wrong that you're not telling me about, but I won’t ask. I'm sure you'll tell me wh
Damn…Zach thought as he saw the two girls dancing in the club. They had just arrived and he was walking to the VIP section of the club with Liam when he saw them. For a second, he just stared at the way one of them moved, then his brain kicked in and he realized who it was. It was Chloe and she was dancing, no, she was moving her body in a very provocative way, and he could tell that it wasn’t online his eyes that were caressing her body. What in the world were they doing here anyway? He asked himself, just as a guy walked up to Chloe, splitting them and dancing with Chloe instead. He froze for a second as he watched the guy put his hands on Chloe, and she turned to face him, smiling at him. This wasn’t going to be one of the scenes in a movie or a book where the woman would say that he was her cousin or something like that, was it? Zach thought, wondering if that would happen if he went over there to cause a scene.As he folded his hands in fists and started to walk there, a han
It was morning, or maybe that was what Chloe thought when she opened her eyes and the light was blinding. Pain shot through her head, and she browned in displeasure. This was a foreign feeling, a feeling she had never felt before, making her squeeze back her eyes closed. She moved slowly, feeling her limbs heavy and achy. She pushed her hand into her air and brushed it off her face. God, she had learned her lesson about drinking just because she didn't want to remember anything. Speaking of remembering anything, she couldn't remember what had gone down last night in detail. She sighed, trying to take herself through the night. She remembered she had gone to the club with Hailey last night, and then she remembered dancing with her, and then with another person, and that was all she could recollect. Groaning again, she turned from her current position so that she could back the sun peeking in from the window and then she blinked her eyes open. Pain shot through her head again, but
“So what would you ever do to try to get him to forgive us?” Allyson asked as she sat opposite her husband. Dane knew his wife was worried about Zach's attitude towards the both of them, but he was more worried and he wished there was just something he could do for his son that only him can achieve. Only there was nothing he could think of and that was already frustrating him enough. Having Allyson push it more was not becoming frustrating more. “I know that, Ally! Don't you think I do?” He asked as he closed the file he had in front of him. He had only just wanted to work in his home office and have breakfast in the morning with his family tomorrow before going back to work. Why won't she let him do just that? Coming home for Dane had always been a great ordeal but he had no choice than to play ball. He knew how Zach felt about him and to be honest, he did deserved every bit of it. When he married his mother, she had been forced on him, practically, and he had been in love with
Dane watched his son left him there standing and he stood there not sure for how long he had stood there for, not until he heard the door of his room opened up again. A lot of things had ran through his mind as he stood there, ranging from what exactly would get him a chance with Zach to who was that he had brought home. He had never heard his wife or anyone talk about him being girls home except for his friends; Dana and Zoe. It was new and staggering that she was here with his son tonight and he suddenly became interested in who she might be. He looked up at who had opened the door to see it was Ms. Fletcher and when he got to him, she offered him a small smile that didn’t reach her eyes. He knew she didn’t like her much after what he had done to Zach’s mother seeing as much as she liked and respected her. He greeted her and she just nodded, then he asked her who the girl on Zach’s back was. Ms. Fletcher blew out a loud breath and then she said. “That’s Chloe Miler, and she’s yo
When he woke up and saw a call from Mr. Elliot-Day to have breakfast in his house with his family this morning, he had been so happy, because it was a sign that the man might go ahead with the deal, so without thinking about anything else, he had made breakfast for made breakfast for his sons as his daughter had spent the night over at her friend's place, and had his bath, before heading over to this place. The last thing he now expected was for his daughter to be here, walking into their dining room with confidence as if she belonged there. When he had arrived at this house, the one he happened to pass by two times every day to and from work without ever entering, he had been in awe of how beautiful the place was. And he was glad he had been invited. One could tell that the owners of the house were wealthy because everything in the house spoke of it even. He had expected the expanse of this all because he could see the outside shone and stood out. As he got to the house, a woman,
Can you please take me home, Zach?” she asked him after they had talked about their families, looking at him with a small smile on her face. Zach nodded his head in agreement. “Of course, little bird. Just give me a second to get something better on.” He said as he gave her a small smile. He pushed Chloe off him as gently as possible, and then he walked to his closet, winking at Chloe over his shoulder as he realized she was watching him go. Luckily, she didn't flush when he looked at him until he turned back and walked into the closet. She reddened when he was gone, blowing out a breath. Zach was just really handsome and being in close proximity with him like this was really making butterflies fluttering in her belly. About a few minutes later, he walked out and told her it was time to leave. As she stood up to follow him, she caught her leg and twisted her ankle, going down in a fall. Before she could get to the ground, Zach caught her, but she was still flailing around, and t
