Cooper and I were just coming to an agreement about how much rent I’m going to pay to stay at his house,” she replies nonchalantly.
“What! You’re moving in with Cooper?” Sumer asks, her voice rising in astonishment.
“What’s this I hear about Skye moving in with Cooper?” Their mother says from the doorway. “Skye how are you going to find a girlfriend if everyone thinks you have a boyfriend?” her mother asks, seriously.
Summer throws her hands up. “Really Mom? Skye is not a Lesbian. We went along with it for a while because it was funny that you actually believed that, but this isn’t funny anymore,” she tells her mother.
“But Dawn said….” Jenny falters.
“You believe everything that lying little cunt says!” Summer screeches. I’m shocked at the way Summer is talking to her mother. “I’m sorry Skye,” Summer continues. “I love you, hell I even love Dawn. You’re my sisters for crying out loud, but Dawn has been telling vicious lies about you to anyone that will listen. I’m sure Cooper’s even heard some,” she says pointing her finger at me.
All eyes turn to me. Why, oh why, did she have to drag me into this? I look at Skye pleadingly.
“I’m sorry Cooper, I hate to drag you into a family dispute, but I’d like to know if my sister said anything to you about me,” Skye responds, looking at me for an answer.
SHIT! If I ever want Skye to trust me I have to tell her the truth. I look past her mother and on to Dawn giving her a look that could kill. Dawn shrugs and mouths the word sorry. I sigh, pulling off my baseball cap and running my hand through my loose curls.
“The night of her birthday party Dawn suggested I not bother chasing after you because you went the other way,” I say, spitting it out in a rush.
“The other way, as in I like girls?” she questions. I nod my head in the affirmative. “That’s fine,” she says shocking us all. “You obviously didn’t believe her but even if you did believe her, how would me being a lesbian, benefit her?” Skye asks more to herself than to anyone in the room. “Ahhh, I’ve been so blind! She likes Cooper. I forgot I already knew that ” she remarks smacking her hand against her head. “Ouch, that was stupid,” she comments rubbing her forehead.
Please don’t let her change her mind about our arrangement because of her stupid, selfish little sister. I would hate to have to wring Dawn’s neck before Summer gets the chance.
“Cooper Talbott you’ve caused me so much trouble since I met you. First Hailey, and now my own sister. How can such a sweet, quiet man stir up so much drama?” she accuses looking at me. I’m a little embarrassed because she’s actually right. I’m the reason Hailey and Dawn are mad at her.
“I’m messing with you Cooper. Those two girls need to get over themselves. You and I aren’t even a couple,” Skye laughs. “So it’s settled. When I get out of the hospital I’m moving in with Cooper.”
Chapter Thirteen
Skye
It’s been a week since I woke up in the hospital and the doctors are finally ready to release me. Cooper already moved my stuff from Summer’s apartment and into his house. Summer assures me that Cooper’s house is nice and not some raunchy bachelor pad.
Jon seems taken aback when he found out about my new living arrangement he even tried to offer up his place when Summer reminded him that he lived in a second-floor apartment like she did. I don’t know if I’d want to live with Jon anyway. I trust Cooper when he says he’ll behave like a gentleman. Jon? Not so much.
Summer suddenly walks back into the hospital room. “One more trip and we should have all of your greenhouse, slash, toy store loaded into Cooper’s truck,” she says grabbing another load of flowers and stuffed animals.
