Maybe Perfect

Skyler

I was like what? It took me a few seconds to process it. Did Shane really said to move in with him or did he ask? I sit upon my bed and he helps me."What? I don't remember you asking me to move in or me asking that I should move in with you."

"Long story short. Your landlord wants you to leave his house by Wednesday and since you have nowhere to go now. You will stay with me." He said more like commanded. Did he suggest I stay at his house? I know he loves being alone. He said it the last time. The reason why he moved out and now he wants me to live with him. I suggest."I can find somewhere else to stay."

"Not like this. We can see about that later." He said and I knew he wouldn't take a no for an answer.

"The way you are saying.Looks like you already made up your mind so I don't have a choice."

"Good Girl. At last, I convinced you." He sighs. I will find an apartment in a week or so. Till then I can stay with him."Don't make me change my decision again."

"Fine." Shane leaves me in my room to take care of the discharge formalities. I had to put on my dress from yesterday.

While Shane was clearing all the formalities, I decided to get changed. I take my dress and put it on. I tried pulling up the chain but Alas.

Ugh!! I groaned in frustration. This didn't happen at home. Why is this happening now? I stretched my arm to pull up the chain. Ouch! This hurts.

I wish I was flexible.

I slowly open the door hoping to find someone to pull up the chain of my dress. Some nurse or cleaning lady but there was no one. I closed the door back and sighed. Let's try this one more time. I stretched my arms as much as I could and pull the chain a little up. Keep going, Skyler! A little bit more. A little bit. No, I can't do it.

Then I heard Shane knocking on the door. "Skyler you are in for a long time. Are you okay?"

"Yes, I am," I yell back. "Hey, Can you call someone?" 

"I am here. Why do you need someone?" Like I didn't know. This time I tried being specific.

"Someone female. I need help with my dress." I tell slowly.

"I can help you. I see no one here."

We are getting late. We both are adults. It's just a little bit. He can do it right. I slowly open the door and let him in. He closed the door behind him so no one enters.

"What do you need help for?" He asks and I meekly said."Can you pull the chain up for me?"

"Uh-huh, Sure." He gulps and I turn around. He comes close to me and I feel the warmth radiating off his body. This was a bad idea then why am I liking this so much. When his hand reaches the chain of my dress, his fingers brushed against my back sending shivers down my spine. My heartbeat was on a race and I knew he could feel it too.

He glides the chain up and it stops. It was stuck. I look up in the mirror in front of us. I look at our reflection. The next thing I knew was Shane getting hold of my waist and turning me around.

He looked deep into my eyes and bit my lower lip. "I can't ignore it anymore."

"You can't ignore what anymore."

I ask looking into his eyes.

"My feelings for you. I love you, Skyler." I blushed. This is what I wanted and waited for so long but then I was about to kiss him. I am dreaming about this a lot. He says softly in my ear as I felt his hot breath on my neck bringing me back to my senses "Uh...Skyler..."

Stop your dirty thoughts and keep them within you. But we looked good together. Right.

Skyler...

"Yeah..."  I say with my gaze looking down. "I think it's not gonna work anymore. It's broken. You can take my jacket." I sighed. He could have suggested this earlier and I could have gone without having to go through this torture. I would not say torture. No, it was torture.

Now I can only imagine how his hands on me. I turn around and look up at him. He was standing real close and his eyes were a different level mesmerizing now.

I could only think of kissing him. God help me.

Shane took off his jacket and gave it to me and I wear it. This feels nice, to be honest. I could smell his perfume in it and it makes me feel I am in his arms. It was big for me but it didn't matter.

Oversized jackets and boyfriend sweatshirts are the comfiest. Fuck, Skyler. He is not your boyfriend. You will have to return this to him. Or not. He is a rich businessman, he won't notice if one of his jackets goes missing right.

I am such a mess. How will I manage to live with him and not spoil everything with all these thoughts in my mind? I have to find an apartment soon.

"What are you thinking?" He asks while his eyes on the road and without any thought I said. "You."

Shane stops the car in a jolt. He looks at me surprised. Not surprised surprised. Surprised as in good surprise. Uhh! I am gonna go mad. "Unicorns I mean."

Seriously, Unicorns. Of all the words starting with u. You decide to go with the unicorn. He raises his eyebrows in confusion but I was damn sure he heard it when I said you. "Unicorns are beautiful."

"You are crazy." He chuckles and I blush in embarrassment. He starts driving and drove back to my apartment to pack my belongings. Not that I have many. It wouldn't take much time.

When I reached the apartment. It reminded me of all the memories spent here. I could see myself sleeping on grandma's lap as she read me a bedtime story. I could see grandma drinking coffee which I made for the first time and she drank it without complaints even though the coffee I made without turning on the gas.

I could see myself playing with Olivia as a kid and Grandma oiling my hair and me making faces about it. Now I have to leave this place. I was overwhelmed. I never had my parents with me, grandma was all I had and she was no more with me. "I will miss this place. Shane, you can go now. I have somewhere else to be."

I have to go visit them. Shane argues with me."We are going to my place. I am not leaving you alone."

"I promise. I will be back. It is something I have to do. Please, Shane." I assure him and he leaves me."Fine."

Shane

I went back to my car and waited. She came out a while later and took a taxi and I followed her. I maintained a safe distance so that she doesn't spot me.

After a few minutes, the taxi stops in front of the police station. What is she doing at the police station? I can't go in and confront her because she will know I was following her. I reversed my car and left for home. She will tell me later. Now is not the time.

I drive back home in the thought of her. I changed into something else, cleaned up the kitchen and the guest room that was going to be Skyler's room now. I take a look at the clock and it's been two hours and she didn't arrive. My mind was making endless conclusions about reasons she went to the police station is when the doorbell rang.

Skyler was back. As soon as I opened the door, I was surprised. Her eyes were red and she looks at me and starts crying. She falls on her knees and I hold her. We were standing in the foyer and she was crying looking at me. I couldn't see her like this. It makes me think about what happened at the police station. "Skyler, Are you fine? Tell me something, Skyler. Why are you crying?"

"Promise me, Shane YOU WILL NEVER JUDGE ME." What could she possibly mean by it?

"Why will I judge you? I don't understand."

"Just promise me, you won't..." She says as her words break down choking her. "I PROMISE, I WILL NEVER JUDGE YOU WHATEVER REASON IT IS."

(Oh no. Now, what happens between the two of them. Will Shane ever find the truth? Will Shane keep his promise after he learns the truth? Skyler agreed to live with Shane. Find out in next.)
