Talon's Heart Chapter 22: TALON
??I forgot that she would have to discard the coat once we got there, and by the looks of it she thought it was cute that she got one over on me. It was evident in the smirk she gave me, and the way the three women got to whispering and giggling behind their hands while looking at my sorry ass. My own mother, damn. Grandpa had finally shown up and given my girl the once over and his stamp of approval. Nonna was being her tyrannical self as usual. ??"Talon dear I didn't get a chance to see Kevin. I have to see him and his Stephanie before we go, how is he by the way?" ??"Kevin's good, he was with me at the station, in fact he was with me all day.""Of course he was, he's a good boy, he would never leave you in a situation like that. Speaking of which, what ever happened to all those etiquette classes your poor mother sent you t? Didn't they teach you about brawling in the street?" "I never took any etiquette classes nonna." What am I a pansy ass? Why was she tr

Now I'm walking to practice with my girl who's doing a lot better thanks to yours truly riding rough shod over her ass. She's proven to be more stubborn now since she'd met my family, which leads me to wonder just what the hell the women in my family had told her. If they'd given her any pointers on how to run my ass they were a bit late. She didn't need any help in that department. It seemed to come naturally to whichever woman the Avery men ended up latched onto. She's all bundled up because it's cold and she has a flask full of hot chocolate to keep her warm. "Fix your hat Skye." "My hats fine Talon if I pull it down any farther I wouldn't be able to see where I'm going." She batted at the hand I tried fixing it with. "I told you to wear the one with the ear flaps, it's cold out here. You don't need to catch a cold on top of everything else." I fixed her scarf tighter around her neck and ignored the eye roll, whatever. I wanted her in

She argued the whole way back to the condo; honestly, I think she was more upset by this shit than I was. "Babe, seriously, stop stressing this shit, I'm good." And I really was, she came first no question. He'd basically asked me to choose between her and the game, I chose; fuck him. I liked having her there with me, where I could see her, it kept me settled and made for a better game all around. Then we could walk back together when I was finished with practice and she could talk my ear off asking me a million questions about the game, which she never grasped anyway. She got to do her studying or reading or whatever and I got peace of mind knowing she was right there and no one was fucking with her. It was more of a protective measure than anything else; the fact that it made my life easier was just a bonus. I knew about the whispers around campus that I was whipped but so what, I did shit my way, always have, always will. She started crying halfway h

There was one thing I could tackle now that we had the time. I could revisit a topic we'd been haggling over for the last week. This time I meant to get it sorted once and for all, and of course I mean to get my way. My baby doesn't listen worth shit I believe I've mentioned this before. Funny, it had always looked like my dad ruled the roost, but if mom and Bianca were putting him and Rye through the same hoops as this one did me, then they weren't ruling shit. I'm gonna change that shit though, it was the only way I'm gonna survive this love mess. "Now we can talk about thanksgiving, it's next week, you're coming home with me right?" We've been having this...discussion, for a week now; she'd called her parents and they'd put pressure on her to come home. There was no way I was going to let that happen but I didn't want it to look like I was forcing her. I wanted her to know she had choices even though she's always accusing me of being a dictator wher

"Babe, there're five days of every year that your ass better be next to me, that's your birthday, mine, valentines, thanksgiving and Xmas. After we have kids we'll add Mother and Father's day and the kids' birthdays to the list." "And in this world of yours do I ever go back home ever?" "In a few years when I no longer feel like killing douchetard and his bitch. I have an idea, why don't you tell your parents you don't want to come there because you're afraid the prick would pull another stunt? That ought to work." "You want me to lie?" "Babes, if we go there can you guarantee he won't show up and start shit?" She pondered that for a minute. "See what I mean?" "So let me get this straight, you want me to spend thanksgiving and Xmas with your family." "Yep." "My mom and dad are not going to be happy." I would've given her my signature answer which is I don't give a fuck, but that seemed inappropriate when ta

"Wake up sweetheart we're here." I kissed her hair as she came out of her nap. She'd slept for the last two hours of the flight while I spent my time either reading or watching her. Sometimes it hit me out of nowhere that this amazing creature was really mine. That I'd been lucky enough to find someone who could make me feel. I had all but despaired of that ever happening. Growing up around the love between my parents and grandparents and later seeing my brother find his own forever, I'd secretly believed that the family legend had skipped one after all. I just never found that burning desire with anyone else, until now. "Hmmmmmm?" She started to wake up. I'd opted to use the family plane after all because dealing with holiday travelers did not seem appealing at all, besides we got here faster. She was so cute when she first woke up, like a little kitten all cuddly and sweet. I held her as she went through her routine of eye rubbing, yawn, snuggle into my chest

At home mom was going crazy with the preparations for Thanksgiving dinner, which was just a day away. Of course the servants had the house sparkling from top to bottom and everyone was bustling around. "Welcome home Skylar." She looked up at me in awe, her mouth almost to the ground. Most people had that reaction when first coming to our home. It was a throwback to an old European castle or some shit. Not what you'd expect to find in the middle of a bustling metropolis, though our house was set back away from the others and seemed almost like it was on its own with the surrounding land and gardens. "You want a tour now or later?" I hugged her shoulders, as she seemed a bit intimidated. "There's nothing to be apprehensive about babydoll this is going to be your home soon." I decided to save the tour for later since she seemed to have lost the ability to speak. Instead I took her upstairs to get her bearings before the rest of the brood got here. My room was all

"So, Talon, I hear you finally took the plunge." Mason's voice brought me back from my thoughts. "Yep, what of it?" "Nothing, nothing, just saying welcome to the club." Mason was about as crazy about Kinsley as the men in my family were about their wives. Only thing is I think he was missing the real crazy gene, he got an extra helping of gentleman instead. Bastard thinks he's fucking Rhett Butler or some shit. "I'm not whipped dude, not like the rest of you clowns anyway." They started laughing at me. Okay, even I knew I was talking out my ass but hey I couldn't go out like that. They each had something to say about my plight and everybody had advice on how to proceed. I ignored all their bullshit, as much as I admired their relationships and the strength and unity I saw there I wasn't about to let Skylar run me. That shit would never work, I have to be the one in charge that's just who I am. With my mind set I got down to the serious b
