*** SKYLARS POV

"Sky"

"Hey Skylar"

"Skylar! Earth to Skylar! Hey!"

I jump, almost shoving my hands into the hot frying pan as the voice startles me from my daydream.

I turn.

"Where was your mind? I've been calling you for a whille now and look, you almost burned the food"

Mrs Monroe scold me. I turn and realise she'd turned off the stove . I sigh.

"I'm sorry Mrs Monroe. I'm just peachy today"

I lie. Well how am I supposed to say the truth when even I don't know why I'm feeling this way? For some strange reason, ever since I had glanced at that picture and realised it was none other than Mr chocolate eyes, I've been restless.

I barely slept a wink last night.

And now, I'm even restless while working.

To the extent I almost burnt the lunch I was preparing.. I'm confused. So confused.

This has never happened before.

Anytime I get tasked to do a job, I don't think about it at all.

I just go for the kill, do whatever I'm supposed to do and when it's done, I sit back down and let the guilt swallow me up.

I've never mixed emotions when on an assignment.

It never ends well.

Mixing emotions starts with thinking, then soon I begin to over think and before I realise, I'm feeling guilty for duping someone or spying on them.

And once the guilt, settles in, I'm not able to concentrate.

It just messes me up and I end up messing up too. And once that happens, only one outcome is expected.

. Exposed.

I'll get exposed.

It takes a lot of guts to dupe people.

You have to be on your 'A' game.

Alert at all times.

Because when on an assignment, I never use my real name, real age or even a real face.

I only use my real face on a rare occasions.

And once I let emotions get involved, I'm most likely to slip up.

What if I mistakenly say my real name?.

Or I forget to put on a wig with my piercings? I sigh.. I shouldn't be feelings this way.

Not now. I don't even know the guy.

I've just met him once so why am I thinking so much? Don't think Skylar.

Don't think.

"Its okay. I'll just dish out the food and serve to the boys"

Mrs Monroe's voice cuts through my thoughts yet again as she grabs a spatula and scoops reasonable portions onto two plates.

"Thank you"

"I've told you to stop thanking me Sky. Sean is a lovely boy"

she says as she exits and I follow.

I watch her place a plate of omelette in front of Sean and her youngest son who's the same age as Sean.

She hands them a fork and I watch like the proud mama that I am as Sean mumbles a thank you to her with a polite smile, pushing his glasses up his nose before digging into his food.

As if sensing my presence, Sean turns, his eyes searching for me.

And when they land on me standing at the doorway of the kitchen, he flashes me a smile waving the fork.

"See mom? I'm using a fork!"

He shouts excitedly making me chuckle.

"Shhh! Mummy says no talking when eating!"

Christian, Mrs Monroe's son scolds Sean. S

Sean sticks his tongue out at him like the child he is and goes back to eating.. I smile watching him.

This. This is the only reason that keeps me going.

My son.

And I have to keep going. I can't start over thinking things now and then slip up even before the job begins.

Mr chocolate eyes doesn't seem like an easy mam to deceive.

So I need to be careful.

And I can be careful only when my mind is alert.

Making up my mind, I walk back into the kitchen, adjusting my apron as I grab some onions and fresh tomatoes and begin to chop. If I need to leave, I'll have to start preparing dinner now.

Then I can leave by six and arrive at the address the boss had given me by seven.

***

By six fifteen pm, I was finally done.

Wiping the sweat off my brow, I proceed to untie the apron and hang it. 

I stare at everything I had prepared.

I wonder why Mrs Monroe asked me to prepare so much food for just dinner. 

I shrug.

Oh well, it's none of my business as long as I get my money.

I make my way out of the kitchen to meet Mrs Monroe already making her way towards me.

I thank her as she hands me my money.

"Umm can I ask you for a favour?"

"Sure tell me Sky"

"Umm.."

I glance over at Sean who doesn't look the least bit tired as he and Christian solve cartoon puzzles as they lay on the tiled floor.

"Could you.. Could please let Sean stay here for a few more hours? Probably two or three more? I...uhh I have something very urgent to do. I'll come to pick him up as soon I'm done I promise" 

I always bring Sean here along with me on weekends. I'm not going to take any chance by leaving him alone in that mansion. Mr park would have probably sold him by now.

Mrs Monroe smiles warmly at me.

"Sure. You don't need to ask. Christian is very find of Sean. Just go, he's in safe hands"

I smile, relieved.

"Thank you so much Mrs Monroe. I really appreciate.. And umm.. Can I change my clothes in your bathroom please?"

"Just go into one of the guestrooms and change sweetheart"

"Thank you".

I walk to the living room.

"Sean"

He looks up at me.

"Are we going home mom?"

He pouts.

Well, seems like someone doesn't want to go home soon.

"Well... Mummy has to go somewhere but you need to stay here with Christian until I come back to pick you alright?"

He grins immediately.

"Yes!"

"Be a good boy Sean" 

I kiss his cheeks.

"Bye mom"

"Bye aunty Sky"

Christian waves as I run into the guestoom to change.

***

Sh*t. Sh*t. I'm late.

I collect the ID from the huge guard as I'm allowed entry into the arena and look around.

No sign of Cameron anywhere.. I check my wrist watch. It's past 8. Shit! I'm late. What if he's left already? I run my fingers through my hair.

And then run my hands over my red knee length sleeveless dress.

I didn't wear a wig or piercings because I'd already met Mr chocolate eyes.

If I disguise myself, it won't take long before he recognizes me.

My voice or something could give me away easily.

So there was really no need to disguise.

I'll just make it look like a coincidence.

Yes, I nod slightly at my thoughts.

I'll make it look like we met here coincidentally and then I'll see where this goes.

I've got only two months for this.

For mine and Sean's sake I pray I don't slip up.

"You can do this Sky. You can do..."

My chanting gets cuts off the moment I bump into a rather hard body.

I lose my balance momentarily and slip. 

I feel myself falling until strong arms grip my waist, steadying me.

Oh wow.

Tingles shoot up my spine at the touch.

I lift my head to look at my captor. Ah not again.

"Are you blind girl?"

He barks with his deep voice.

I blink, straightening up as he takes his hands off my waist... Wait. I blink.

Did he.. Did he just call me a girl? Again?.

Okay I'm offended!

"Hey Mr man, I'm no girl. Do I look like a girl? Does this.."

I pause, gesturing to my boobs and my backside

"....Look girlish to you? Have some respect dude!"

He narrows those beautiful chocolate eyes at me, realisation flashing in them.

"Oh f*ck me! You again?"

He groans.

"Yes me again!"

I jab at my chest before wagging it in front of him.

"And stop calling me girl everytime you bump into me. It's insulting"

He snorts loudly like a madman.

"I'll call you however I want. You got a f*cking problem with that? Girl?"

He sneers the last word, like he's openly taunting me.

I fume.

Okay why am I even mad? I have no right to be mad. Right?

"You... Mr man... Are an infuriating egotistic pig!".

Fury flashes in his eyes as he takes a step closer. 

I back away, bumping into someone.

With all the noise and shouts from the massive crowd here at the ongoing match, I doubt anyone is paying attention to us.

"Stay... S..stay away" 

I stutter as he keeps advancing towards me, his cologne wafting into my nostrils.

He smells good.

Okay, concentrate sky! You're here on a mission and your target is standing right before you.

"D..don't come closer"

God why am I stuttering?. He's just a man.

A beautiful man.

Oh shut up!.

I yell at myself mentally.

"You've gone mad girl"

Mr chocolate eyes says and.. Oh, did I yell outloud? Pfft whatever.

"It takes one mad man to recognize another. And don't call me that again" 

I roll my eyes.

"Else what?"

He challenges.

I remain silent, searching my brain for a perfect comeback.

"You're just an annoying stupid girl who talks like a parrot on end"

I gasp. Oh no he didn't.

"You insult me again and I'll... I will...I..."

Sh*t! Where are all my threats when I need them.

"Else what girl?"

Okay that's it!

"Else I'll tell everybody here that you've got a d*ck as tiny as my littie finger!"

I yell and his eyes widen.. Aha! Gotcha! I wonder what's so special about a d*ck that men hold it like a prized possession I smirk.

"How's that... Little boy?"

I watch as his eyes darkens further.. Great.

He likes to call me a girl yet he hates it when his manhood is questioned?

"You!"

He growls

"Ah ah! I wouldn't try that if I were you. Apologize for calling me stupid"

Oh God, this conversation keeps getting dumb.

But I need to keep talking to him, become friends even? But this f*cking beautiful hardheaded man is making it hella difficult for me.

He's like a walking time bomb.

Any tiny thing gets him angry.

"Watch your mouth girl!"

"Else what little boy?"

He takes in a deep breath likes he is trying to calm his nerves.

"Why am I even wasting my time on you? This is dumb"

he says and turns to walk away.

Oh no.. I need to become his friend at all cost.

I run after him towards the Hall way.

"Are you scared boy? Is mama's boy running because he's scared I'll tell everyone he's got a d*ck as tiny as my little finger?"

I taunt purposely.

"Shut the f*ck up girl!"

he growls and keeps walking. Oh God, why is he so difficult? Why can't he take the bait just once.

You've got only two months Sky.

Read " Daddy's Girl " by the same author ( eliza )

. Just 8 weeks! Do something.

"Hey mama's boy? Where to? Are you running to hide under your mama's wings? Aww poor boy... You've got a...."

I don't get to finish my taunting when Mr chocolate eyes suddenly spins around to face me. Before I can register what's happening, his hands goes to his belt, unbuckles it and then pushes both his jeans and boxers down at a go, his minnie-me which might i add, doesn't look tiny like I had described spring out from his shorts.

"Ahhhh!"

I shout in shock, shutting my eyes immediately. Oh God. Someone tell me I didn't see what I just saw.

"Does this look as tiny as your little finger girl? No it's not. Now do me a favour and shut the f*ck up and stop following me with your loud obnoxious girly voice"

he sneers and then walks away, pulling his jeans and boxers up with him. 

I blink.

And blink again.

Oh God, Lord of Abraham, Lord of Isaac, Lord of Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego, Lord of Moses, Lord of Elijah please forgive me for I have sinned.

Forgive me for my eyes have sinned.. My eyes have seen a snake. 

A sinful snake. F*ck! Cameron f*cking Knight is absolutely insane!
