Haven

After a long day on the set, with Tyler staying close by as he and his brothers work on erecting a make-shift bakery, things have shut down for the night, and everyone is headed to Winchester’s for a bite to eat. My trailer arrived late this afternoon, and while I’m happy to have some of my things, what I’ve realized in the last couple of days since arriving in Blue Bay is that I don’t need much to take me from day to day. A warm bed, and a hotter man in it beside me will suffice, thank you very much.

Tyler almost seems like a different person today. Last night, walking back into that cabin brought a lot of painful memories. While we might not really know each other, I’m just glad I was by his side, able to help him move forward. I hate that he spent so many years with that tearing him up inside. He had a complicated relationship with his dad, seems all the guys did, and it shaped him into who he is today. That’s not a bad thing. Gram was right, underneath it all, he’s a sweet boy, and I love a man with a soft heart. Probably because I grew up with one. Rock is all muscles and strength on the outside, but inside he’d do anything for me. It’s no wonder I gravitated toward a guy like Tyler. I just wish he and my brother liked each other. If we ever moved past a fling…

Whoa!

I quickly shut that thought down. Tyler and I do not have a future. He belongs here in Blue Bay surrounded by friends and family, and I belong… God, I really don’t know where I belong anymore. Do I belong in Hollywood? I guess my next movie is going to determine that, but dammit, I hate that I have such little control over my future. I want to have hopes and dreams like Tyler. I love that he’s setting goals, and wanting to build his own gym for the kids.

I make my way toward my trailer to gather up a few of my possessions, and when I enter, the hairs on the back of my neck tingle. I glance around. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, yet I can’t shake the strange feeling that I’m not alone. Knuckles rap on the door behind me, and I gasp and jump ten feet in the air. The door flings open, and Tyler comes inside. After a fast glance around, he puts his hands on my shoulders.

“Haven, what is it?”

“It’s nothing, really. I just had a strange feeling. I think I’m just spooked.” His head dips, those green eyes murderous and intense.

“Sit here,” he says and lowers me onto the sofa. He disappears down the narrow hall, checking the back-bedroom area. “All clear,” he calls out. “Did something happen?”

“No, I promise.” I roll my eyes at my own foolish behavior. “It’s just…have you ever had the feeling that when things were going good, you just know something bad is going to follow? It’s happened to me my entire life.
