Breaking Boundaries

Chapter Eight - Mr Mysterious

"Where have you been?"
I spin on my heel to see Hunter standing behind me arms crossed, he doesn't look angry anymore but uncomfortable.

"I went where I said I was going." Does this guy have memory loss now too?

"Oh.. I went to see your Mum." of course he did, feeling guilty?

"Is that why you called me back here?"
I'm not in the mood for his shit. He can't be serious.

"Yes, I wasn't allowed to see her but I spoke to her doctor. She's only mentioning your brother and your father."

I can't help but feel a bit upset, my chest did a little drop into my stomach, not the kind that you get when your excited.

"OK..?"
I don't know what he wants me to say?

"She's not improving yet, but I'm confident she will." he looks awkward and still very uncomfortable.

"I don't know what you expect me to say? I'm really not bothered about her."
My face with zero amount of emotion and I'm not one bit sorry. He sleeps with me all night long, then goes and sees my mother THEN expects me to have a heart to heart with him about her?
Not today..

"Was that all?" my arms are crossed and he's staring at me with a confused look.

"Why you acting like this? We can be civil, Rylee?"

"I am being civil, I just have to get ready to go somewhere and you are trying to fix something between me and her that isn't going to happen. Concentrate on fixing your relationship with her instead."

I don't know where the words came from, and I don't know how I managed to get them out of my mouth but they came out in confidence and I can tell he's taken aback by what I said.

"Is this about what happened?" he starts walking towards me.

"No, I want to forget that happened just as you do."
Lies.

"I never said I wanted to forget about it? I said it shouldn't of happened."
He's so close I can smell his minty breath mixed in with his usual aftershave.

"Well you're right and it shouldn't of happened. I have somewhere to be so I'm going to take a shower and get dressed."

"Where are you going?" he whispers .. so close I can feel his breath.

"That's nothing to do with you?"
Who the hell does he think he is? My Dad? My boyfriend? My boss?

"Fine. I have a meeting I'll be back in around an hour or so, are you eating dinner here today?"

Am I eating dinner here? Hell no.

"No, I won't be back until late tonight, I'll eat out." I probably should of kept those words to myself because as soon as I say them his eyes change. His whole posture has stiffened.

"What? You won't be back till late, why? Don't tell me, Logan???"

"Why are you so bothered? You don't want me near Logan because of what he did with her, but you're trying to fix my relationship with her? What's the fucking difference?"

My voice is raised, he takes a huge breath intake and out. Looks at me then rubs his temples in frustration.

"You're killing me, lady. You know that?"

"Bye Hunter."
I whisper and walk away. I can feel him watching me as I exit the hallway. But I won't turn around, I can't.
I feel so hot right now I could jump his bones.

I have no stereo in my room and no laptop here, just my phone. I remembered Hunter's set up in his room. He's not home so I'll use his whilst I get ready.
