Sky gets out of bed being extra careful with her injured arm looking for the Cole in the dark house, she feels a breeze coming from the back and she walks out onto the back porch where he is sitting looking out into the night with his arms crossed.
"Hey" she says carefully stepping onto the cold wood beneath her feet.
"You should get back in the house and rest" he says not looking at her.
"Will you come with me" she asks not getting a reply. She walks up behind him placing her hand on his shoulder before walking in front of him sliding her hand down his arm. Cole eyes drop to her hand before looking back up to the sky. She looks up into his eyes gently holding his cheek.
"This is not your fault...stop blaming yourself and it's not that serious. I been worst obviously I died" she says trying to make a joke only for him to get mad and snatch her hand off of his face.
"You don't get it" he yells making her flinch and stand still.
"When I saw you roll over and not moving I thought the worst, I thought I lost you. I admit you irritated me at first and now it's like I can't imagine life without you and I hate it. I hate knowing that I love you and I hate knowing that I can't do a damn thing to change it" he yells his face flushed and red as his blue eyes darken. Sky picks with her fingers looking down before looking back up at him as tears drip down her cheeks.
"You hate loving me? So do you hate me" she asks softly her voice barely audible. A low growl erupts from his chest before his hands grip her face tightly and pressing his hips on hers roughly. Sky shocked stumbles back on instinct until his muscular arm comes around her waist pulling her closer against him. He can feel her shiver against his chest but he can't pull himself to pull away. She tastes like strawberries and salty tears but he welcomes it, her hand comes up running through his hair before she breaks away looking into his eyes.
"I love you" he breathes resting their foreheads together. She looks into his eyes sensing he is telling the truth but she can't being herself to say the words back. Not because she doesn't feel the same way but because her heart has been broken so many times before. Cole senses her being hesitant but he just strokes her hair pulling her against his chest.
"It's alright I don't expect you to tell me right off the bat" he says into her neck inhaling her scent. Sky releases a yawn and Cole takes her hand leading her back into the house and into his bedroom kicking off his shoes and changing into his pajama bottoms and a tank top while she throws on one of his shirts and they crawl in bed. Her head is resting on his chest and his arm is snugged around her waist scared of losing her, her bare leg is around his as her eyes are closing and she falls asleep listening to the soft beat of his heart.
Cole wakes up first as his alarm brings, he groans before bringing his hand down shutting it off. He looks down at Sky who is sleeping peacefully tucked into his side, her hair is tossed over her face and her likes are poked out. Bringing his hand to gently move her hair out her face he smiles before gently slipping from under her, she moans but grabs his pillow and stay sound asleep. He goes in the bedroom and shower getting ready for work, he is fixing his suit when she wakes up stretching her arms above her head sitting up.
"Good morning" he says walking over pecking her lips. Sky looks at the clock and groans.
"I so don't feel like going to work at the office today" she says dropping her hands back down on the comfortable sheets. She didn't find a good fashion job so she got a job at a local business as an assistant.
"Call off" he suggests turning around looking at her.
"Can't we have a big client coming in today to talk about something" Sky says getting out of bed walking over to him. His hand comes down petting down her bed hair making her scrunch her nose up playfully.
"You better go or you'll be late" she says as he slips on his jacket.
"See you for lunch" he asks grabbing his briefcase.
"Yes have a good day" she says pecking his lips before he leaves out.
Sky walks in her office an hour later with her coffee in hand; she has on a pink blouse with the top two buttons undone, grey pants suit with a matching top and grey flats her hair hanging in lose curls over her shoulders. She sits down at her desk getting things ready for the sky presentation when her boss knocks on her door.
"You ready" Mr. Clark asks he is an thin man with layer of muscle and shoulder length black hair that he keeps in a pony tail.
"Yes sir I am" she says and stands up with her coffee and files following him to the presentation room where she sees a woman sitting with her back to them. Her long brown hair flowing over her shoulders as they walk in the door, Sky goes to set up as he goes to talk to the client.
"Sky I would like you to meet Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Wyatt this is Ms. Skylan Anderson she is our newest member" Mr. Clark says.
Sky goes to shake the person's hand when she sees it's one of the witch that attacked her and Cole last night.
*Author's note
Cliff hanger! I wanted to stop and save their confrontation for the next chapter. What do you think I should do? Should I have Sky get angry or handle it calmly since she is at work? Please leave your answer in my review box.
