[ edited 7 Dec 2015 ]
You know when you read a book where star-crossed lovers meet again after years of being apart, or when a mother and child meet again after years of solitude and looking for each other.
Do you know what these two things have in common? Somewhere during the scene where they meet each other, finally, there'll be a line or an entire paragraph saying how the other had changed so much, or that the other person was unrecognizable.
And you know what those two don't have in common with my story? Speaking on the second scenario, I hadn't been in solitude and I sure as heck wasn't looking for my father or he me. In fact, I was doing everything I could to not meet him.
And another contrasting fact between that story and mine? Flynn Mathers was recognizable to me and I knew he had changed little since his youthful days. After all, he had been grazing the covers of magazines for well over twenty years.
The only fear I had was that he would recognize me. Had I changed enough that he wouldn't recognize the little girl he met in Disneyland many years ago? Or would he recognize the features he had deemed 'similar to his'?
Dylan walked ahead in front of me, confidence in his stride whilst I waited ten seconds before dawdling in after him, my eyes downcast as I tried my best to blend in with the peach background.
My eyes landed on him like moth to a flame. He looked up when we entered, his eyes thankfully dwelled on Dylan who thankfully hid me behind his big built.
"Flynn." Dylan exclaimed as he walked over and opened his arms, waiting for a hug.
"Dylan!" Flynn Mathers returned with the same jovial vigor as he pulled Dylan into a high hug. "Nice to see you again, dear boy."
They exchanged a few words silently, ones I couldn't her from where I stood, still near the door. One sign of recognition and I will literally be gone with the wind. I looked around the room, hoping I could blend in with the peach wallpaper.
Then I saw Tyler sitting in the furthest seat. My eyes widened in confusion. What was he doing here?
Just before I could do anything, I hear Flynn say, "and who might you be, darling girl?"
I turned towards him, slowly as I forced on a shy smile just as Amelia had taught me on how to disguise my emotions. He studied me with curiosity as I did him with contempt, though covered with a smile.
He was well over six feet, towering over me, broad-shouldered. He had his dark locks brushed down in a pristine manner and was wearing a dark designer suit that emphasized his well kept body. And his eyes, his eyes were the exact replica of the ones that stared back at me every morning when I looked in the mirror. Age had did him well.
Dylan turned to me. "Oh! She's the female lead, Alex. The one I was telling you about."
"Alex?" Flynn Mathers said my name slowly as if they were alien to him, his gaze still on me longer than was comfortable.
Did he recognize me, or my name?
No, of course not! There are millions of Alexs out there! How can he remember that was his daughter's name?
"Yes. Alex Hunt."
All I wanted to do was grab the nearest fork or chopstick and poke Dylan's eyes out. Why was he even telling this guy my name. My full name in fact. For all I knew, Flynn Mathers could have after the run in with us in Disneyland, searched up everything on us. Even our surname. Hunt.
Flynn's stared back slowly as he took another step forward. "Hunt." Ha paused, taking another step forward. "Is that right?"
I stood there, frozen before nodding slowly. Did he really look us up?
"Well," he smiled, his eyes crinkling at the edges. "Nice to finally meet you, Alex." Then he offered a hand.
I was hesitant at first, staring at it as if it was alien and new. Then I reached out and shook it, hesitantly after staring at it for seven seconds. "Ni-nice to meet you too, Mr Mathers."
"Please honey, Mr Mather's sounds so formal. How about Flynn, for now?"
I nodded. How about 'child-abandoner'?
"Come! Let's eat and chat," Flynn said as he walked back towards the table. "I believe you know each other?" He indicated Tyler.
We both nodded. Dylan looked shocked too that he was there.
What was Tyler doing here?
* * *
Dinner was going along surprisingly well, that is if I put aside the I-Hate-Him-For-Leaving anger I felt towards Flynn. Dylan and Tyler were busy conversing with him about the movie, and thankfully I wasn't forced to talk to daddy dearest.
"So, Alex," Flynn said as he cleared his throat.
Of course, it wouldn't last!
"Yes?" I asked, a forced smile on my face as I chewed on a brocolli.
"Where are you from?"
I answered in the most discreet way I can.
"Really?"
I nodded as my eyes stayed averted from his.
"How about your parents?" He bit into his steak.
"Back home, worrying. They were against my coming here, you see."
"Oh, and why were they?" He asked, curious.
Because of you! "Mom's not that psyched about the entertaining industry."
He smiled a sad smile. "Hmm. And yet, here you are. Acting in the most anticipated movie of the year."
"I guess it's in the blood," the words slip about before I could think about it.
"What?" He asked, a smirk on his face.
I was really starting to hate the guy. Even more than I did before I came here. "I said, I'm full," I tried to lie. But as apparent on everyone's faces, I failed. They heard me right and knew I tried to cover it up. "Excuse me please?" I stood up before anyone could think twice and left the room, rushing for the bathroom.
I can't take this! I can't take being in the same room as him and not yelling or screaming, demanding answers.
And I definitely can't take him, living life to the fullest and not even thinking twice of the woman and child he abandoned!
Tears fell as I pushed open the door to the bathroom and rushed for the sink. I grabbed some tissue and wiped at the leaking mascara.
They couldn't find out I was crying. That would just lead to more questions and the truth.
The door opened behind me and I gasped.
"What are you doing here?" I yelled.
"Why are you crying?" He asked.
"Get out! This is the girl's toilet."
"I asked you a question, dammit," he snapped.
"And I asked you one too. Now get out!" I glared at him through the mirror.
"Is it because Flynn's an asshole?" He asked, not an ounce scared of the anger oozing out of me. "Or is it because he's your dad?"
* * *
I stared at Tyler as if he was a ghost.
"What did you say?" I asked, shock forming on my face.
He smiled sadly. "You heard me Alex."
"How long?"
"How long what? How long have I known? How long did it take to do a background check on you? Or how long is it going to take before he finds out?"
"How long have you known, Tyler?" I snapped, turning around to face him.
"Ever since you left home the other day," he answered. "I thought it would be safer that way."
I looked at him, studying the guy. "Are you going to tell?"
He shook his head after a minute of doing nothing. "It isn't my place," he replied, causing a smile to appear. "But, I do think, that it is my place to tell you that you should tell him the truth, Alex. That way you could have this weight of your shoulders and then maybe you can get some answers."
I frowned. "I don't want any answers."
"Yes, you do. I could see it today at the table," he said as he walked towards me. Then he wiped away the tears on my face. "The sooner the better." He smiled warmly, the first time I saw him do it. "Having a parent, whether they did something wrong or not, is better than having none at all."
He turned around, walking towards the exit. "Come in two minutes after me," he said, then he paused and smirked. "You know, you should start paying me."
I looked at me, confused.
"First, with James, now Flynn. You should start paying me for saving the damsel in distress." With that he exited the bathroom.
Maybe Tyler O'Brien wasn't so bad after all.
