•81•Best Actors

Skylar stumbled back into the hall, feeling gutted and bloody and bruised and so damn stupid. She couldn't believe she'd allowed herself to even consider the possibility of getting back together with Luca. She'd been such a goner when he professed his supposed love for her, and she had no doubt that she would've allowed herself to be swept off her feet if he hadn't brought up the cheating allegations again.She'd done so well for herself in the past two weeks, put on a nonchalant facade every time she was around him, even when her body had screamed for him. But she'd let him knock all that progress to the ground in less than an hour.Now she felt like she'd taken ten steps forward and a hundred backward. An idiot, that's exactly what she was.But not anymore, she vowed.Uh, didn't you tell yourself the same thing two weeks ago?Ignoring the ugly, unwarranted voice in her head, Skylar beckoned a waiter over and grabbed a bottle of Chardonnay off his tray. Her emotions were on fire and

•82•Out Of His Mind

Luca stumbled into his rented suite, pausing slightly at the door. The ground looked a bit shaky but not too much, so Caleb had definitely been exaggerating when he said he was drunk and would cause a scene. He'd only drunk a couple more glasses of wine and rightly so; everything that could've gone wrong tonight had spectacularly gone to shit. No, not the inauguration– he always knew that one would be a success – but with Skylar. Like always, he found himself spinning out of control whenever she was around.Before the inauguration, he'd had every intention of making tomorrow his last day in Chicago. He would return to Rockford and leave the Chicago branch in the hands of Brandon, leave Skylar's life and try to let go of his anger and reckless frustration in hopes that he'll finally be able to move on.And then her kiss with Alex had happened and that planned had faded into a memory once he realized how scared he was of losing her forever. But now he was back to being torn between stay

•83•The Juice

“You can never do anything right, can you?” Luca bellowed at his temporary secretary. “Get the fuck out of my sight.”His screaming match with his cousin had left him with an intensified headache and a rotten mood, so his secretary's penchant for overlooking small details had finally ticked him off.He watched the young woman scurried out of his office, practically in tears. Then he sighed, knowing very well she hadn't committed any serious offence. He needed an outlet, and she was the only one around to bear the brunt of his messed up emotions.For the next ten minutes, he tried to focus on work, but it was like trying to squeeze blood out of a stone; impossible when the front, back and center stage of his mind had all been taken up by Skylar.It'd only been some hours, but he missed her terribly, as if it'd been eternity already. He wanted to see her. No, he needed to see her, but he was afraid that the disdain she'd shown him last night would still be in her eyes.He'd seen that dis

•84•Scared

Later, Luca sat in a VIP booth in the nightclub of his hotel, Caleb across from him as he complained about Skylar's gullibility.“Can you imagine? She actually believed the bull crap in the magazine. How can she even think I would be engaged to Natasha when I made it so abundantly clear how much I want to be with her?”“Dude...” Caleb began to say when a scantily dressed strip dancer waltzed into their booth, going straight for Caleb's lap. And just like that, whatever Caleb was about to say immediately receded as he run his hands all over the dancers naked ass.Luca glared at the woman, furious at the interruption. “Get out of here.”Her eyes widened, seemingly taken aback by the bite in his tone. But she soon squared her shoulders belligerently and pursed her lips into a stubborn line as she focused her attention back on Caleb.Knowing exactly what she was here for, Luca pulled his wallet out of his pants pocket, whipped out a bunch of dollar nites he didn't bother to count and turne

•85•More Than An Idiot

A surge of rage sent Luca bouncing off his seat and lunging for his friend. Grabbing Caleb by the collar of his Lacoste, he brought him up and glared into the other man's eyes as the sense of betrayal sank in.“You wanted to take Skylar away from me. You tried to take Skylar away from me!” He growled in disbelief.“You said you wanted nothing else to do with her. You weren't together anymore.” Caleb shot back defensively.“That's not a fucking excuse, you bastard!”Pushing him back, he slammed his fist against his mouth, sending the other man tumbling back into the sofa with a thud. He squared his shoulders, expecting Caleb to fight back, but his friend merely felt his bursted lip and let out a sigh.“I was always attracted to Skylar, you knew that." Caleb said silently. “I just didn't realize how strong my feelings for here were until the two of you started dating. But I never once tried to make a move on her while you were still together. But when you said you were done with her–”“I

•86•His Promises

“Aww, I can't believe he's gone. He was like my ideal man.” Alena groaned wistfully. “I'm sure I could've made him fall for me if he stayed here long enough.”“How did you know that?” Skylar asked her secretary as casually as she possibly could.“I heard Brandon and Evans talking. He went back to Rockford and asked Brandon to take over.” Alena replied. “I wish he's just gone on a trip or something but seeing that the headquarters of all of his businesses is in Rockford, I doubt he'll come back any time soon.”“I see." Skylar looked back on her computer when she realized that her secretary was staring at her intently, as if she was trying to guage how much the news bothered her. “Thanks for the coffee, Alena. You can get back to your desk.”She needed Alena to leave before she could see the sudden tears that were burning through her eyes. A stupid urge to cry she had absolutely no business feeling. Luca was gone, so what?He would have left anyway. She had no doubt that in his obstinacy

•87•An Inexplicable Mess

Hold it in! Do not cry! It's not worth it!Skylar chanted inside her head like a mantra, but it was useless. As soon as she banged her door shut behind her, the sobs she'd been striving so hard to curtail, won the fight. It racked through her with an intensity that shook her, sending her to the floor in a heap of bitterness and pain as she leaned her back against the door.Not wanting Luca to hear her, she covered her mouth to keep the wretched sounds in. But as soon as she heard the sound of retreating footsteps, the cries burst out of her without any restraint.She didn't even know what she was crying for. She'd finally had the luxury of seeing Luca beg for her forgiveness. She should be content instead of turning into this mess of emotions.She cried until it felt like she had no tears left, and only then did she get up to gather her son up and take him into his cot. After that, she returned to the living room and picked up her phone, dialing Ella's number.She instantly regretted

•88•A Curse

Skylar's self-induced enthusiasm for work dampened rather quickly as soon as she went into the kitchen at the office to get herself a jolt of caffeine to begin her day. The coffee-maker wasn't working and wouldn't budge no matter the machinations she tried on it.While she was still trying to work impossible magic, the door creaked open behind her. She turned, expecting it to be one of the executive secretaries whom she could ask for help from, but it wasn't any of the secretaries. It was Luca.She had to force down the lump rising up her throat. He looked dashing in a grey two-piece suit, his head neatly combed. He'd cleaned up well today, so unlike the unruly appearance he'd had yesternight.The thought of the previous evening accompanied a surge of bitterness that immediately made her put on her mask of nonchalance. “Oh, it's just you.”“You sound disappointed to see me.” He said, and she nearly rolled her eyes. Like duh.“What are you doing here?” “To get coffee, of course.” He st

•89•Even If It Kills Her

Unlike the previous day when Alex called to cancel their date, Skylar had no such luck today. Though he couldn't make it to lunch, he promised to come to her house in the evening with take out to spend some time with her and Austin.With no choice, she wove her mask as meticulously as she possibly could and prepared for her home-date with him.She didn't see Luca for the rest of the day, and that made the rest of the day easier to get through.Alex arrived at her house at seven as promised, bringing some Chinese takeout along with him. He looked dashing in a well-worn denim jacket thrown over a white T-shirt paired with an equally worn pair of jeans and adidas sneakers.Obviously pulled by the aroma sizzling through the air, Austin immediately crawled towards the food which Alex initially set on the wooden centrepiece in the living room.He whined when Skylar kept him away from it, not sure if she should be giving him chicken at his age. Though she'd long introduced him to solid food,

•90•The L-Word

"You're here." A smile lit up Skylar's face as soon as she opened the door to find Alex, and warmth spread inside his chest.She looked gorgeous in a striped bodycon dress that enhanced her well endowed curves with a neckline that left a lot for the imagination, and yet made her incredibly sexy.Stepping forward, Alex placed his hand at her waist and sealed her lips with his. Their kisses had been getting more and more intense and so he swiped his tongue on her lips, and his heart rejoiced when she opened up to him, allowing him to explore her mouth.When he finally broke the kiss, he placed his forehead against hers as they both tried to catch their breaths."Let's go." Skylar finally said with a smile, stepping back so they could step inside together."Alec!" Austin squealed immediately he saw Alex and began bouncing excitedly on his butt.That reaction never ceased to fill his chest with a feeling he could barely explain."Hey, champ!" Alex gushed, hoisting the little boy by the arm
