Story: The Bully's Obsession
Why did I just call him family?The thought had flowed passed so easily and it sent a wave of anxiety through me.
His words from last night replayed in my head, did I return to our former town despite the risk of him finding me because I wanted and yearned for him?
No...
I wouldn't allow his words from last night inside my of head..
He had been totally wrong...
He's hurt me for so many years, scares me beyond humanly possible so why would I want him to find me?
"Mommy!You woke up!" Hazel's delightful squeal broke into my trail of thoughts..
"How are you sweetie ?"
"Look uncle Hayden is making pancakes!"
I chose that moment to direct my gaze up to his, he returned my stare unflinchingly.
Unnerving..
Chapter FIFTY FIVE
GRACIE..
"Look uncle Hayden is making pancakes!"
I chose that moment to direct my gaze to meet his, he returned my stare unflinchingly.
I resisted the urge to squirm especially when he began to make his gaze over to us.
Thankfully Hazel chose that moment to tug on my clothes, breaking off the magnetic pull he had on me.
I straightened down to her level to Wipe off pieces of pancakes from the corners of her chin and fingers.
"I also helped him out, isn't that right uncle Hayden?" she rushed out in an excited gush and I couldn't help the tug of smile that formed on my lips.As much as it worried me that she was getting too attached to him in such a short pace of time, it was also heart warming to see her looking so alive and excited..
"That's very good Hazel, but in case you need something or you are hungry you can just ask me, you needn't have to trouble your....Uncle Hayden " I averted ,avoiding looking upwards where I could feel his gaze burning right through me.
I brushed her tangled hair with my fingers, I couldn't tell her just yet, judging by how happy she seemed to have had a new friend she would probably take the news that he was her father very fine but i still couldn't bring myself to..
"Hazel can you leave your mom and I alone for a moment?" I tensed a little at his sudden words.
Her gaze directed from Hayden to mine and I found myself nodding slowly in approval, immediately she skipped off he tugged on my arm pulling me up to my feet to meet in unwavering gaze
"When are you going to tell her the truth?"
I flinched a little at the sharpness of his tone.
"I need more time, i just can't burst in on her with the news that she has a father when I've clearly told her before that she doesn't "
He sucked in a sharp breath, if I wasn't mistaken he seemed a little hurt by what I said, the grip he had on my arm tightened a bit pulling me closer so our noses were almost touching.
"I think she'll be perfectly fine !"he clenched out with unmistakable annoyance lacing his words..
"Hayden.." I began when he abruptly let go me setting some distance between us.
"I don't even need you to, I can always tell her that I'm her father myself!" he breathes out heavily.
