Chapter 11
" So, will you tell me what happened back there?" Jackson asks, after 5 minutes of silence in his car.
I couldn't remain in that place anymore, I couldn't watch him come close to me and insult me. I felt like I was reliving two years ago but only this time, I could foresee him insulting me infront of everyone.
No, I couldn't take that chance and so, all I could think of doing was running away.
I didn't even say anything to Lucia, it was an advantage for me to slip away when Charlie came to the dancefloor and distracted Lucia. I had no idea that Jackson had been watching and he chased after me, no matter how many times I told him that he need not worry and that I would call a cab, he insisted on taking me home.
Now here we are, seated in his car, inside the premesis of the apartment complex. I don't know how to really answer his question, because I don't want to start revealing about Mr Cullen being th

" Will you come with me?" He says and I nod, since I'm feeling way too tongue tied and emotional to think straight.He takes the lead and I feel his hand against my back, softly guiding me to where ever, he wishes for us to go. I take notice of his car and this makes my footsteps to slow down. " Where are we going?" I finally ask." Somewhere far from here, maybe the park?" He says before heading to the driver's side, to take something.When he returns infront of me, I see him hold out something and glancing down to his hand, my face warms up because it's his handkerchief.I'm so embarassed to be seen in this vulnerable state, I'm literally crying infront of Mr Davies and there is no way to hide this fact." T-thank you." I say with a soft voice, recieving it.I look away from him as I wipe at my eyes. " Would you li

" I already ate." I say, turning around and walking away, leaving the door open.I've just invited them in, though I shouldn't because I'm still upset with Lucia. She pushed too much and now I can't stop thinking about what happened. I've worked so hard to atleast, to make peace with everything and move on, but she keeps pulling me back to that placr of always talking about it. I gave my baby away, she is with a nice family and being taken care of by people who love her. " Well you can eat later, but just know that we're not taking all this food back." She says as they enter.I head on to the kitchen, taking a seat on a chair. Lucia follows suit, sitting opposite me while Charlie remains standing by the doorway. A moment of silence takes passes with neither of us attempting to say anything, for a while I don't look at them but when I feel a gaze on me, I let out a sigh and glance at Charlie.

Shoot." Miss Grey." He calls me again and I sigh, turning around slowly and preparing for something to say.When I finally face him, he says, " Were you running away?" " N-no, I wasn't." I quickly answer, feeling like I've been caught red handed.A smirk takes over his face and he steps forward, but I take a step back, wanting to maintain as much distance between us as possible.His eyes are quick to notice what I just did but I don't care. I just don't want him to be near me, distance between us is best." Oh you weren't?" He raises his brow at me and the tone he uses, tells me that he neither believes me and is enjoying this, as if he has an upper hand or something." No I wasn't." I say cheekily." Okay then, why were you leaving just now?" " I don't see anything I like here." Why am I even explaining myself to him rig

I definitely feel like a mother right now with Ava. Tonight, her father is late and because his phone has been switched off, I couldn't find it in me to leave Ava alone. Well, not that she would be alone because Kelly and the others would be here, but it just felt right if I do stay.Besides, Ava wanted me to stay.I had the opportunity to see how Ava was during the evening, whether she gets cranky or not when sleepy by this time of night. Surprisingly, she wasn't difficult at all or maybe it's because she was tired. I fed and bathed her and before I knew it, I was seated on the rocking chair with her on my lap, pretty much reading a story to her.This felt nice, to have her head resting against my chest. A smile makes its way onto my face when I feel her snuggle into my chest and a small sigh releases from her lips. My heart surely flutters because to me, this says that she is content and she has found comfort in my arms.

If I had to be granted one wish, it would be that I don't see Mr Cullen ever again, but I know that it's near impossible because he's Ava's uncle and he's basically family, so it's unlikely he'd stay away.Quitting wouldn't be as easier as I had initially thought, I mean I signed a contract and I'd have to give my notice, not to mention that I'd have to look for another job.Gosh, job hunting is exhausting seriously, but necessary. The most important part that is holding me firm from even thinking about quitting, is little Ava. It's just hard to even think about leaving and never seeing her again. She has become a part of my life just like I have in hers.In such a short time, I've grown familiar to being around that little girl, so that's why I can't leave. Though I'm not saying I never will, because Mr Cullen is just doing everything he can to push me towards that decision, Ava always seems to come to mind and every o

To think that the mention of my father wanting to see me, would surprise me but it didn't. I think I've outgrown waiting for him to make contact.It's been years since we've spoken and I can't help but wonder what the real reason behind him wanting to see me, might be. I mean we've never lasted days of being around each other when he actually came to see me, he's always been busy and now that I am, he makes contact.Back then, I had thought of confronting him on his actions towards me and how he broke his promises each time, but then I'd thought better of it. This time if ever the time allowed me to see him again, maybe I might just tell him how I've felt all these years.I ended last night's call with my mother, having not given her a definite answer about meeting him, I really feel undecided about this. It's a little confusing on why this time, he actually bothered mom if he wanted to talk to me so badly.
THIS TIME Chapter 18
The only time I believe my eyes truly connected with his hazel ones, was the time I was in surrender to him. His eyes had been sincere and held truth with hints of desire in them, but right now, as I stare into the very same eyes that have shown indifference, intimidation and always a scary warning, tonight everything in them is different.Different in the sense that he is looking at me differently. Something familiar sparks in them, he's not looking at me as a stranger but as someone he knows. This makes my heart to pick up and I pull my arm back, taking a step back and creating space between us.My lips part in surprise of his next move, when he takes a step forward with intended intention to close the already open gap.' What is this man doing? - Why is he trying to come close to me?' I'm already an emotional mess and this man's actions are not helping the situation, not to mention that the ra

" You should take a little break sweetheart." Mom says, entering the living room." I'm almost done mom." That's all I say, not tearing my eyes away from the news paper.A tray full of food is placed ontop of the newspaper, now blocking my view of the section that I was just reading.I sigh and lean back, finally looking at her." I need a job mom."" I know you do, but you also need a break. Go out and get some fresh air, think less and just forget for a little while, about everything else."' You have no idea by what everything means to me right now.' My thoughts answer her but I continue looking at her.She sighs, now taking a seat next to me. She takes my hand and places it on her lap before speaking, " Skylar, I want to ask you something and I want you to be honest with me."Why am I afraid to even tell her to go ahead?
