Chapter twenty seven
**Oliver West**
I stared in a state of stupefied shock. Nothing in the world could have ever prepared me for this moment.
I squinted my gaze as though it would eliminate the sight in front of me or make it less real even.
Kieran!
What was he doing here in my house!
His gaze slowly traveled through my unruly hair that I had been so sluggish to take care of earlier.
Those metallic laser-like eyes took a slow detailed glance at me. It made me conscious of the fact that I was clad only in an oversized old shirt and a pair of shorts.
My bare legs squirmed under his long fixed stare.
The silence between us became unbearable, the tension rolling off it could basically be seared through with a knife.
"What are you doing here! My mom and sister are around!" I spoke, breaking off the painful silent trance we had both fallen into.
I hoped my voice sounded confident enough. The truth was, Mom was already at work, and wouldn’t be home until late, and Bumpkin was at school. But Kieran didn’t need to know that. He couldn’t possibly do anything to harm me if he thought they were here, right?
