Building you up

Chapter 8

Chapter 8Tia’s pov

I couldn’t believe everything Skylar was doing for me. He was like my guardian angel. Finding out the only home Deacon ever knew was what made him sick destroyed me. I didn’t know what we were going to do until Skylar came to the rescue.

He had everything set up that I didn’t need to do anything. He even had the cupboards and fridge filled. I walked into one bedroom and felt tears well up again. It was a nursery all set up with everything Deacon would need. I laid Deacon down in the bed and turned on his machine and grabbed the baby monitor.

Skylar went home to give me a chance to rest, and settle in. Honestly, I wish he was here right now. I loved spending time with him. He was working his way into my heart. I never knew men like Skylar existed.

He was so sweet, and romantic. He made me feel beautiful even though I knew I wasn’t. He made my life a lot more bearable. I always felt like the world was out to get me. Like I was all alone. I don’t feel like that anymore.

Skylar has changed my life for the better. Who would have thought walking into that construction company would have changed my life so much. I wondered what everyone would say when they found out I was dating the boss.

I mean have the men on his crew already hated me. They said because of me they were getting docked pay. It wasn’t my fault Skylar got mad every time he heard them putting me down. I never asked him to stick up for me, but I was glad he did. It showed me that he would always protect me.

I never thought a guy like Skylar would ever notice me. Yet he was always spending time with me. He would always pull me close and kiss me. Maybe this was all a dream. If so, I hoped I never woke up. Because I never wanted this to end. I was happy for the first time in so long.

I wasn’t going to let the guys at work bring me down or try and break Skylar and I apart. It’s not my fault they act as if they are jealous or have no common sense. I thought that they were over acting like jerks but from what I am hearing they are worse then ever now. Trying to say that I am sleeping with the boss for money. It made me so angry. Skylar tries to keep the stuff they are saying from me, but these guys are emailing me such hateful things. I didn’t want it to get worse, so I didn’t tell Skylar about it hoping it would stop.

I needed this job more now then ever I owed him so much for all he has done for me and Deacon. I don’t want to bring him any stress or drama. I can handle it on my own. I have dealt with ignorant men my whole life. They are just bullies looking for a reaction that I refuse to give them.
