Skylar's POV:

As I walk up to my house's door, I feel a tingle run through my bones. Its definitely weird but I brush that aside and open up.

As I walk through the doorway, I am instantly greeted by a loud conversation.

I walk into the kitchen, puzzled by the unfamiliar voice.

As I step into the familiar room I am greeted by my mother, Jena, Jax, and... Kody.

Seeing him makes my jaw drop and blood go cold. He looks at me in pure shock for what seems like an eternity.

"Ky!" Kody says excitedly, crossing the room towards me. He reaches me in four long strides and immediately engulfs me in a giant bear hug.

I reluctantly hug him back and breathe in his cologne. He smells amazing, not like Demetri's natural scent. Kody's smell is man-made and absolutely wonderful.

I feel Kody lower his arms and rest his hands on my butt. I dont think too much of it until he gently squeezes and sends me into a frenzy. My heart starts beating and I can feel a blush creeping up into my face.

My face turns into a grimace as I hear my mom clear her throat at our semi-heated exchange.

I push away from Kody and look into his eyes, He keeps a steady grip around my lower region and pulls me back in for another hug.

He leans his head down and whispers into my hair "I've missed you so much"

"You saw me two days ago, silly" I tease, breaking myself from his grip.

He pouts at our lack of touch and shoots back; "But before that, I hadn't seen you in months"

"Who's fault is that?" I ask him honestly.

"Mine, all mine Ky, and I am so sorry. I honestly want you back so much" he chokes out, to my surprise.

I stare back at him with wide eyes and contemplate pulling him in for another hug.

"She's already forgiven ya Kody" my mother chimes in.

When he looks at me for approval I slightly nod my head. A wide grin appears on his face and he smiles at my mom.

He starts walking towards me and I run behind the island for shelter. {island is like a lone rectangular table in kitchens:)}

He takes note in my plan and runs after me. I shriek and run past my mother, who puts a hand over her heart.

Right as I run back around the table, I feel Kody grab me from behind.

I burst into a fit of giggles as he picks me up and carries me into the living room.

"P-put...Me. Down!" I manage to get out over my constant laughter.

He gladly agrees and stands me on my feet. He pulls me in for another bear hug but stops half way. He then brings his hands up and cups my face.

I look into his eyes and feel his calloused thumbs running circles on my cheeks.

He leans in slower and presses our foreheads together, something we did way-back-when.

He sighs and smiles at me.

With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I stand on my tip toes and press my lips against his.

The kiss is exactly how I feel it would be. Soft and sweet, and well needed.

After a few moments he pulls away and hovers his lips above mine. He exhales and I shiver from his close breath.

He smiles down at me and releases my face from his hands. I immediately intertwine our hands and lead him back into the kitchen.

I lead Kody over to the table where Jena and Jax sit coloring.

Kody pulls up a chair and sits down, patting his lap, offering his lap for me to sit.

I think it over and shake my head, deciding to stand.

Out of the corner of my eye I can see Jax staring at Kody.

Kody winks sloppily at Jax and sticks his tongue out, earning a laugh from my brother.

For a split second I am in a world where only coloring inside the lines matters. But my mother brings me back to reality, real fast.

"So how's her butt Kody?" my mother says nonchalantly.

I spin around and look at her embarrassed. I can feel Kody stiffen up beside me and break into deep laughter. He stands and puts his arm around my shoulder before responding: "Pretty nice Mrs Wes" he says sarcastically.

My mother laughs to herself and then puts on a warning look.

"Skylar, did you do your hair this morning?"

I groan at her blunt question and shake my head, biting my lip.

"Skylar Wes! Your hair gets so knotty when you dont brush, and you know it." she scolds me.

I roll my eyes dramatically and am happy that the kids are in their own little world. "Its fine mom"

"I for one think it looks great" Kody says, a goofy grin crossing his face.

My mothers face softens for a second. "Oh sweetie! I didn't say it looked bad, I was just saying how messy your curls got."

"I know, I know" I say with a smile.

Kody looks at me and I bury my head in his shoulder. I hear a creak coming from the stairs and instantly look up at who is staring at us from the doorway.
