Guarding her body won't be a problem, making sure she's safe won't go awry, it's going to go fine and I'm going to get done with this job and move on with my life because that's what this is a job, a big job.

I toss some onions into the pan, stirring the content, while I cook the others are setting cameras all over the house.

This is something I usually do before taking a job but since this one was impromptu... 

"Are you done?" I ask as the body slips into the room.

By the footsteps I know who it is and it's Marie.

Sybil is upstairs, doing God knows what, I won't have it any other way, I can't look at her right now.

"Yes boss" She says, standing behind the kitchen counter pouring water into a glass. 

I lift my eyes to see her watching me as she drinks and I see the questions in her eyes.

"Don't ask" I say immediately, not at all in the mood for being nice.

"I didn't say anything boss" She replies.

"Well, you were thinking about saying it, don't, do your job like I pay you to" I say, turning back to the pot.

She nods, exiting the room.

I go back to what I'm cooking for lunch and it's burning.

Sh*t.

My mind is a mess, I'm here but not here, this is not good.

I try grabbing the pan but end up roasting my hand.

"Sh*t!"

"Need any help?" 'Her' voice asks and I turn to see her looking as cool as you please.

Why is she here? Doesn't she have a thought in her brain? Something that should tell her she shouldn't show herself to me, not for a while?

"I've got this" I say.

"You obviously don't, you need a bit of help" She says, stepping forward, getting into my space.

I still, anger coursing through my veins.

I switch off the stove, turning to her in raw fury, she steps back, my anger a statement to her.

"Get the fuck away from me" I say, my voice barely kept under control.

"Stellan..."

"Don't..... That name doesn't exist for you to use, it's Mr Gray to you, get the hell back and stay in your bitchy little cocoon, okay?" A flash of hurt enters her eyes but it's gone just as quickly.

Whatever.

I'm not going to be manipulated by her mind games.

The woman is an actress for Christ sakes , she does that for a living.

" I would appreciate if you don't talk to me like..like.."she says, grappling for the word.

" Like a bitch? Like a selfish asshole? Oh I'm sorry, I'm going to talk to you what ever way I want because you don't deserve anything better Sybil"

"Stellan!"

"What? You don't like that? You don't like been kicked to the corner by my words? How then do you think I feel? You need me Sybil, that's why you are going to suck it up and deal with it"

"I don't have to.

. I wi.."

"Will what? Walk into the hands of your kidnappers? Why? Because I'm a little poor farm boy and you don't want to sully your hands being around me?"

"You don't know anything" she whispers, I scoff, not going to fall for that act.

" Yeah? Well I don't care to know because all I can see now tells me all I need to know Sybil, you don't know a good thing from the bad, you take things that are pure and you ruin them, you spoil them and shatter them and they are never whole again." She looks into my eyes and I let her see all the hate and pain of the last nine years.

" I loved you girl, I would have killed for you"I say and tears fills her eyes.

"You don't know anything" She whispers again and I shove her back with a hand, not anything to hurt but to get her from me.

"Stay the fuck away, this stint between us is gonna end and your ass of a father is going to pay me my money and we both go our merry way, Sounds fair?" I ask sarcastically.

She watches me before turning and running up the stairs.

 

Sh*t!

Sh*t!!

Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t!!

 

I immediately regret all that I've said, my mama will disown me if she finds out I've talked to a girl like that.

Sh*t..

Damn.

Why did she have to show up at that time? When my emotions were so high? I pride myself on having a tight leash on my feelings but the sight of Sybil breaks everything.

 

I jog up the stairs to her room, apologies in my mind when the sound of retching reaches my ears.

I bang open the door of the bathroom to see her curled on the ground vomiting into the toilet.

Sh*t.

"Sybil"

She trembles

"Get away from me, don't come close" She says in a whisper..

"Bloody hell" I whisper, kneeling down to gather her hair as she throws up.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean a word of what I said down stairs" I say but she says nothing, just continue throwing up.

I help her get to her feet, wiping her face with a towel before carrying her to the bed.

I lay her down, her body's so cold.

"You meant it" Her whisper brings my head up to her face.

"What?"

"You meant all of what you said, that's really how you see me" She says.

"Sybil"

"I know what I did was wrong Stellan but I didn't know anything else, I'm too used to getting my way" she says and I nod, the sight of her pale lips making me agree to whatever she's saying

I hate seeing her this sick.

"Stellan.."

"It's fine Sybil, I shouldn't have said any of those things, you didn't deserve to hear it, and I'm sorry" I say.

"I do deserve it, you don't have to apologize" She says but I shake my head.

Her eyes blink slowly and I know she's going under.

"I'm so sorry Stellan, I loved you too" She whispers before passing out.

I blink as her words register on my brain and I watch her sleeping face in awe.

She loved me?

 

AN

Now, that's want I call a fool for love.

How was your night? If you should know mine was cold AF.

hope you have a great day with sunny skies and cherry clouds.

P. S

Is it weird that I have another book in my head and I feel like naming it Beautiful Mess?
