Ruthless Game (Haylor)

Chapter 8

Days, weeks, months flies too quickly along with my mentally drained brain. Guess my fate isn't as bright as I thought. I haven't expected that his lose would affect me in so many different ways. Shaking off those moments aren't that simple but I'll try harder even thought it's not working.

Two days from now and my mum is walking down the aisle with his greatest love. I'm doing everything that I can to give  her the attention that she deserve. It's like I'm forcing myself to be comfortable in my current state when in reality, I'm not. I need a light to take me home..

"Okay, okay" I retorted back. My mum decided to take me to Ray's place since I haven't been there and he's soon to be my step father. I'm really awkward towards everyone but I think I have this good vibe from him. I picked my purse and went downstairs.

"C'mon" my mum stepped from the car and I closed the door behind me.

It's more like a fancy dinner together with my family. It's great to actually have one. The engine stops and the doors flew open and we we're greeted by Ray. They kissed and I smiled lightly. I was surprised that they dressed so casual and I stood there completely ashamed of my appearance. I was only wearing my flannel top and skinny jeans with my keds.

"We met at last" he said hugging me. What?

"Dinner is ready" a voice called. Looks like we're not alone in the house, he brought company.

"Oh Hii, I'm Chazz" a girl wearing a flowery dress grinned at me.

"Taylor" I replied.

We are all gathered in front of the table and I sat there totally incapable of doing anything.

"Oh, my apologies. I haven't introduce you to my kids" Oh, my susbsconcious echoed.

"This is, Chazzey, Daniella, and where's Riker?" He seriously had three children, what in the world.

He appeared in my view and I almost choke. It can't be him, I recognize him a lot. Those eyes, hair, lips, everything. What the hell is going on. Something just went wrong.

I remained petrified and I take a minimal bite of the food. It taste really good but these whole thought is bothering me. I remember him..

"Excuse me, can I use the bathroom?" I asked Daniella.

"Just down the hall, then take a left" she said, gesturing his hand not bothering to face me. Oh well.

I sighed, I thought this was a perfect family. Why do it have to be this way? I opened the running water pretending to do something. Then finally make it out but stumbled with someone at the door.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry" I said in my squeaky little voice. He look at me with glinting eyes and I was left speechless unable to form a word.

"Did you regret?" he asks.

"What?" I questioned.

"The kiss" my breathing went wild as he mentioned it.

"I- it was you" I stuttered, I just kissed my step brother and it's freaking me out.

"Look, I was drunk and I don't know what I'm doing. It just came over me" I explained.

"Yeah" he said shortly.

"I'm sorry" I responded.

I exited the place and walk as fast as I could, taking large steps. It's like I was put inside of the oven for the last 35 seconds and my knees we're going weak, thankfully I reached the couch.

Chazz offered me a drink but I declined. I'm not going to have a sip in front of Riker. I was out of my head the entire time and I haven't see things accordingly because there's one thing on my mind. That very person constantly cut me deep but I tried to put bandage on it hoping it'll heal and could be fix.

Harry:
You haven't answered my calls. x

His name appeared on my phone screen. He had the nerve to show a little sympathy for me. I'm not going to make a fool of myself Harry, not again. I ignored his outnumbered calls and I get some sleep because it's my first day at my new job tomorrow. Hoping I'll perform well.

***
Okay? I'm doing this.
I take a deep breath and stare at my reflection on the mirror while fixing my hair. I create a messy ponytail look, appropriate for my uniform. My mid thigh skirt hugged my legs tightly and my  unbuttoned top reveals my curvy body, I think. Scratch that off though. I smiled and grab my bag containing my essentials.

"I can't believe you're going for work and my wedding is tomorrow" mum complained.

"I'm giving them my best impression and besides I've settled everything already so you don't have to worry about it" I stated.

"You're really good in making excuses but fine, I'm gonna let you go" she muttered.

"Really appreciate it, bye!" I wave my hands and get in to my car.

I walk to the endless stairs on the entrance, the building looks new and it's quite luxurious. I'm taking this one as my temporary job to help my mum in some way.

"Hello miss, good morning" the guard said politely.

I walk through the halls and went to my office, it's massive and pretty great. They had arranged it for me and I saw my name on the door. The majestic designed that they put was fascinating. It's kinda bit edgy and more like a vintage in my perspective.

"I see you all set" the boss, Mr. Tomlinson tuned out. I almost leap. He looks so elegant wearing suit and tie.

"Good morning sir" I said.

"I hope you liked it here, most of the employees didn't last. They tend to disappear" I was shocked, either he's really strict and moody or there are ghost in here and my office is haunted.

I'm way over thinking stuffs.

"I guess?" I almost whispered, unsure what to speak.

"Well, have a great day Miss Swift. If you need anything just ask my personal assistant, she'll help you out. I think that's it  for today, just relax a bit and be associated of the surroundings. We'll not letting you do the work, since you're a rookie for now. Familiarize each and every corner" he said chucking. I'm so terrified of him, I hope I wouldn't disappoint Mr. Tomlinson or my mother. As for Harry, I think it's time for him to find me.
