Ruthless Game (Haylor)

Chapter 9

I'm a lightweight.
Easy to fall, easy to break..

I eyed my mother as her pastry dress hits the aisle with bursting emotions as I look her in the eyes. I envy her for making the right decisions in the dark. She's a strong, independent, determined woman. She conquered all her fears and monsters in life. All the hardships that she had gone through we're finally paid off. She stands tall, firmly in the ground unafraid of anyone or anything. I admire her, and I'll wish that my soul would be as solid as hers.

Skies are crying in the back of my mind unlike everything else. Maybe I was lost with my unfamiliar senses, I was blind to witnessed the undertaking. There's no one to pulled me back, no one who cared or even noticed. Even though I know what's wrong I think it's probably for the best.

I don't even know where to start, only him can fix what's broken.

He's my relieving pain.

"Ready?" Ray called; taking our luggage and putting it in the van. I slid my valuable stuffs in my favorite black satchel. I wear my old converse and grab my hair to create a messy bun.

"Let's go" someone yelled. I hurriedly went downstairs.

Normally I would sat alone in the back but it gets uncomfortable now because we're added by several members. It's going to be fine just give it time, I said to myself. My mind is shuffling through different emotions and I plugged my earbuds on taking a nap. I was completely lost with the anticipation of music drifting me to a merely hours of slumber.

"Tay?" a voice called forcing me back to reality. It was Riker, I'm so embarrass that he always got to see me in my helpless state. I open my eyes and went out to take a glimpse of the surroundings. I watch in awe while admiring the luxurious yacht. There were couple of companions, some are blood related and others we're spooky creatures. My feet dragged me on board, everyone seems so busy and I stood there like an unwelcome visitor, appearing to be unseen.

"-would you like to show me your room?" Riker look straight into my eyes, trying to get me out from the shitty situation.

I nod in reply and follow him, leading me to the majestic area. It was decent, I settled my baggage on the thick wood floor.

"-you coming? Dinners gonna be ready soon" he asks. It's strange to actually think that he's here in front of me talking like regular people. I thought he would make a big deal out of it turns out he didn't.

"I'll probably just chill for a while" I shrug, avoiding his eye contact.

"Okay, call me if you need anything" he said as if I'm a stupid little girl. The door was closed the minute he walked out. We look so awkward together, maybe because I only met him and practically kissed him. I shake the thought off, pretending like nothing happened.

"Hey Taylor!" someone approach me and drag me to the living area where bunch of people could be seen. I fake a smile and greet them a simple Hello. I wasn't supposed to be talking right now, instead I'm here standing in front of them.

"Barbara Brown, pleasure to meet you. God you're stunning" a thirty year old woman praised me. My cheeks flushed a shade of red. I smiled at the lady trying to ignore her compliment.

"Are you busy right now?" she questioned.

"Yeah, I happened to have a job at the Winston's company back in London" I said politely.

"My friend own a clothing line and they need a model. A simple one, not too drastic. Will you consider it? I mean, if you have free time and you wanted to give it a shot. So? You in?" I choked at her words. Seriously though? Is she even joking?

"What?" I laugh a little at her ridiculous comment.

"Just think about it, Call me if you'd love to" she handed me a parchment, containing her number.

What just happen?

I squint my eyes to the bright blinding sun that has begun to hit my face. I went straight to the bathroom and clean myself in the shower. Meanwhile I was trying to decide my clothing. I wore my mid thigh jumper and a crop top tee shirt that suits my blonde hair. I went to the balcony, making myself comfortable with the pleasant surroundings. I swear, I haven't sleep last night because everyone is too loud. The newly wedd became party animals and interact wildly at their reception. It felt like the yacht could sink any minute, thank God it didn't. Just like everybody, we end up laughing and having a great time together with my new family.

"What do you wanna do? Swimming? Fishing? You name it" Riker said through smiles.

What the hell is going on?

"-um, yeah. Fishing sounds good to me" I replied without hesitation.

He returned with bait and fishing tools with him. His hair is so shambolic the entire time while attempting to hook some fish.

That's the most impossible, stupid thing I know but on the bright side he had manage to get one. I laugh and was amazed at how good he is as a talk buddy. He really impressed me at some point.

"Are you seeing anybody?" my brother mumbles breaking through our laughs.

"-um, obviously no. Well, after I kissed you" I said sarcastically.

"You've got to be kidding me" he muttered under his breath.

"I was joking, I wasn't really attached to anyone by now. I just don't see it" I love his sense of humor and the crinkles on his eyes makes him become more adorable. He's really a charming guy.

"Hmm, that's tough. Actually I have a girlfriend when you kissed me" So? are we discussing the whole kissing thing?

"Really? Oh God" I said, keeping my hair out of my face.

"Yeah we broke up that night, then you came and turn things upside down. I can't believe you.. You know you should go out. For the love of God, you're almost 21 and you're inexperience" wow, I like his choice of words. It's crushing me to pieces.

"Is it bad?" I asks.

"Terrible but I know you'll get some. I mean, C'mon. You're beautiful" the words flashed before my eyes. I blush upon hearing those words coming from Riker.

In some way, I forget about Harry. I forget about being so selfish for keeping him to myself even when I don't own him. It feels good to have Riker around. He's the most understanding guy I've ever met and I'm really grateful to have him as my brother.

I think it's time for me to breath and let go..
