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?

I see his smile waver when I keep on staring at him, not a word coming from me." Skylar, say something." " What do you want me to say?"" Anything, no, you know what, eat your ice cream first." " Does mom know?" This time it's him who looks away from me." You didn't tell her did you?" " I did, she was the first one I told." " And what did you say exactly, how did you break the news to her?" " How does that matter?" He turns to me, now frowning." Actually it does because first of all, she is my mother, secondly, you two have always been close and she has been nothing but supportive to you, even after you left. So I want to know -" " I think what I discuss with your mother is between her and me." He says, narrowing his eyes at me." Well not this time dad and yo

" How did you find me?"" You never answered my question."Who does he think he is? - I don't owe him anything." I think that's my business, now you answer mine."" I'm well connected Miss Grey, I know how to get what I want."Wow, isn't he confident, cocky....The brute." Mr Cullen, I have respected the wish of your family, I stayed away didn't I?...So what is this, why are you here?" I ask frowning." Space is what was asked of you Miss Grey, not for you to resign. You missed the point."" Which is?" I raise my brow." Ava is the most important to the family and if she is harmed in anyway, the family is in distress."" And I can understand that, truly I can. This is why I took a step back and gave the family space."" And resigning?"" My own per

" Excuse me?" I stutter, feeling my heart racing by the sound of his words.No, he didn't say what I think he said." You've shown me the door twice now Miss Grey, here we are now and I want you, to hear my piece." Relief washes over me by the sound of his words.They sound different from what I initially thought they were." You looked pale there for a moment Miss Grey, what did you think I was saying?"" Nothing, nothing that would make sense to me." I mumble, avoiding eye contact.I feel him look at me, this making me curious enough to look back at him again." Look Mr Cullen, I'm quite busy -"" Looking for a new job." He finishes." That is my business and no." I lie." You're lying." He points out, making me frown." I'm not." I retort." Yes you are, in your bag is

I turn to him, frowning at what he's just said. I watch him step closer and take out his black card to pay, that's when I notice the bluetooth earpiece in his ear, relief washes over me then. Oh, he's busy on a call, that's such a relief.I feel relaxed by this fact and I can't help but smile in relief. Mr Cullen glances to me and him wearing a confused look on his face, makes my smile to drop. I quickly turn my back to him and face forward again. Before I can say anything to give a better answer to the cashier, unfortunately I do it too late when we're already done.I leave it at that and take the stuff." Why were you smiling just now?" Mr Cullen asks me on our way out." I wasn't smiling." I deny." You're lying again." He says, standing infront of me." I'm not." " Sure you're not." He says sarcastically.

For tonight, we are calling each other by name, something he freaked out about the last time I let slip his name. He had told me that I have no right to call his name and now here he is, wanting us to call each other by name.How confusing is that?We get to the party and of course, because the Myers have always looked for a reason to throw a party, I am not surprised by how much people have dressed up for tonight, not to mention that nothing about tonight says celebrating a baby. This is more adult theme and I am certain that at the discussion table, it was made sure that Brooke would be the main reason for this party.Right outside before we had entered, Mr Cullen had repeated the whole ' we call each other by name and not do the normal addressing we do,' for some unknown reason, he thought I would forget. When we entered, we caught a lot of glances and the few that I know from highschool, couldn't hide their s

Dad is getting married and both him and mom seem to have an understanding, so that relieved me and made me relax. Breakfast was okay but I didn't talk much, more like they had more of a conversation then dad and me.I had spent time watching them talking and it almost felt like the old times but I knew that soon, he would be introducing us to his new family. His fiance's name is Lauren and she has a daughter, a little older then me. Her name is Daniela and she is a nurse, she has been for quite a few years, dad told me that both are great people and that they are eager to meet us.From whatever dad had told them about us, it seemed to interest them more and make them eager to see us. Both mom and I didn't have a problem with that and I could see relief, wash over my dad's face, especially when I gave my okay. He shared how worried he'd been, on his trip when he thought of telling us.He thought that I would be ang

" You'd better tell me how this happened and I don't want excuses, got that?!!" Mr Cullen yells over the phone before hanging up.He has been at this for a maximum of 15 minutes now.I actually feel sorry for the person who is at the receiving end, of his wrath. Mr Cullen is clearly stressed out about the whole Mr Davies situation. I have never seen Mr Cullen show so much care for anyone, this time doesn't even compare to the time at the hospital because all he displayed, was anger and accusation.Today, he has shown a different side but it doesn't mean anything to me, it doesn't affect the way I feel towards him. He is still that same man, who I never want to dare get to know, it's safer that way. With him showing such a side of himself, reminds me that he is still human and there is at least someone he cares about.I just don't think shouting and yelling over the phone at people, will help his case
