Anthony spoke with his already deep husky voice become deeper and huskier making my insides clench."Huh?" I whispered to myself.Chuckling, he started coming closer and closer to me but with every step forward he took, I took one backwards, well at least until my back hit the kitchen island. In a flash, Anthony was in front of me and he placed his hands on either sides of the island trapping me."Look at me." He commanded and I couldn't help but do as told, my eyes averted and met his piercing blue orbs, I swear I felt like he was looking into my soul and him towering over my tiny figure wasn't helping at all, I felt so small and insignificant compared to him.He lowered his head until his breath was fanning my face.

Just the thought of being the laughing stock at every family gathering drove me insane and there was no way in hell I was going to let that happen.Focusing on catching Charlotte who I had to admit was a fast runner than I had perceived her to be, she slipped but held onto the kitchen

Anthony and I were so close, I was so close to getting what I've been wanting since I was only 7 years old and two men just had to ruin it.Even though the water had helped control my urge to have Anthony there again, I knew it would be back again when I set my eyes on him. And only he could fix that which was a bummer because he kept being an asshole every chance he got.Finally finishing and pulling my hair into a ponytail, I got out of the bathroom and placed on a pair of a short denim shorts and tank top.

I groaned looking at the men seated in their barstools each busy on his phone."You offered to cook no one forced you to do it."

I snarled at him and he simply shrugged before turning back to his phone."They are both fine. Yes, fortunately it was just false alarm." Luis spoke on the phone. "You are on speaker now."
