Chapter Eight eight
The first family dinner I wasn’t in attendance my mother in law called morning to check on me but when I miss the second family dinner because apparently Cyrus is still holding me prisoner in his mouth, my mouth in law is livid. She doesn’t call the next morning but shows up at the house without being invited and demands to know why. I am glad that she came so early Cyrus was about to leave so they meet at the door and he had to come back inside.
She makes a lot of noises for a house that’s always so quite that I leave my bedroom and eavesdrop on the hallway upstairs to find out what going on,
“I already told you yesterday that she wasn’t feeling well.”
“I don’t believe you, she can’t be sick two times in a row just when it’s time for family dinner. I have been talking to her everyday and she was okay, I want to see her.”
“She is not doing okay, like I said she is upstairs resting.”
“Then I’ll go see her myself.”
“Wait. Mom, just let me go see her and let her know we have company first okay?”
“I am not a company or a guest, I am her mother and you’re not going to stop me from seeing her.”
“I am not stopping you from seeing her but she is a married woman now and she is in our bedroom. It’s a little awkward for you to be in our space.”
“You have been a thorn in your father’s side coming and going into our bedroom like it was your own space, you still do it at times and so has Bella. What is the problem?”
“You’re our parent but we are your children and bella’s is your daughter in law. Mom, look, just let me check on her and if she is not up to it you can go upstairs. Okay?”
“What are you hiding?”
“Nothing.”
“Why do I sense there is more to this?”
“Would you be sensing more if it was your precious boy Cullen, or does it only happen when it’s with me?” He asks with a bit of venom in his voice and the room is silent for a few minutes before his mother says more calmly
“Fine. You can tell her I am here to see her.” My mother in law finally gives in and I tiptoe back to my room so Cyrus doesn’t find out I have been eaves dropping on their conversation.
I go straight into the bathroom turn the water on fast so Cyrus thinks I was already in here and have a nice warm bath before I emerge from the bedroom. I still can’t believe he used Cullen to get what he wants from his mother, is that what he has been doing with me?
“Took your time, didn’t you?” Cyrus asks me with a scowl as soon as I step out the door. I scowl back at him as I head to my closet.
“What do you want Cyrus? I didn’t know you liked having sex during sunlight. Aren’t you a vampire?”
“Oh I like it in every way form and time, I just prefer you during the late night when I don’t have to look at your face.” That’s a low blow because we both know it’s true. I don’t answer as I close the door and put on a jumper with grey tights and get out. He is still standing where I left him. I head to my vanity and start combing and blow drying my hair.
“My mother is here.”
“Okay.” I answer calmly unbothered like it doesn’t affect me
“She came to see you since you haven’t made it to family diner twice.”
“And whose fault is that?” I answer with the same unbothered sound and he starts heading y way and takes a bundle of my hair into his hand, pulling back so I would have to look at him.
“I know you think this is a game but I want you to cooperate so she gets out of here soon. I don’t like her in my space, going through everything.”
“I don’t get what this has to do with me. It sounds a lot like a you problem.” I say with a smile and push him away from me so I can keep combing my hair but he doesn’t let go. He pulls tighter until I feel my scalp burn, then I use the hand holding the drier to touch his skin and he finally lets go.
“We are going to go downstairs and you’re going to act like you worship the ground I walk on and that everything Is okay between us, then you’re going to act super sick and tired and all you want to do is just sleep in so that she leaves and doesn’t bother you. Got it?”
“I got it.” I say as I go for my makeup but Cyrus takes it from me saying I am sick I need to look the part and drags me out of the room. He complains on the way down the hall how I am causing him to miss his meeting, if he assumes I care he is sorely mistaken.
I smile brightly at my mother-in-law the only human I have been in contact with apart from Cyrus and Margret in the house, and go in for a hug.
“How are you feeling dear?” She asks soon as I let her go taking stock of my temperature and getting e to sit beside her.
I am fine, just a little down and my head has been killing me.
“Have you lost some weight you seem to be lighter. Cyrus have you been feeding my daughter in law? Where is Margret, I will need to talk to her
“Margret is not in today; she doesn’t come until tomorrow and please leave the poor woman alone.” Cyrus answers
“I told her to take care of my daughter in law at the wedding but I think I need to have contact with her so she tells me when you’re being trouble.”
“She works for me mother not you, please don’t meddle in my personal affairs.” Cyrus answers unhappily. Scowling like a child.
