CHAPTER 17
HARLEY POV
He was livid.
Standing from behind the door, all she could do was watch and be in awe. It all happened so fast, Grey coming out from the elevator, Brad words, Grey’s charge towards him and the hits from his fist against Brad. When she finally came back to present reality, a loud gasp from her mouth which seemed to get his attention. His hooded eyes stared back at hers, it scared her that Grey who would tease her could be like this. He turned back to Brad landing another hit to his face. If she didn’t do something, something bad could happen to Brad.
“Stop...” she muttered in fear. “Grey stop.” She said louder but he ignored her.
“Grey!” she yelled coming out from her room, her chest heaved up and down as her anxiousness builds up. Reaching for his hands, her slender fingers touched his shoulders which tense at her touch. Grey paused mid-air, as if controlled by a remote. Harley p
Chapter 18 GREY POV His eyes fall on her red face, with Harley still standing against the wall he winked at her slowly pulling away. “Cute.” He said, turning away from her as he moved towards the window. “Why do you fight?” he heard her ask, his eyes roaming through the dimly lit street. “From the super car you drove that day and Jane’s manner of speaking, I am guessing that you are like rich, so money is not your number one reason why.” She stated and he chuckled. “What do you think? I could’ve gotten the car from the money I make from fighting, jane could just be plain rich and maybe I actually do need the money.” Grey shrugged pulling out the seat from the desk and slowly settled down in it. “Whatever, why do you do it? You get bruised all the time and end up on my door step using my first aid kit.” she huffed. “Which I think it’s about time that you started paying for my services.” “It shouldn’t be an issue nurse Re
CHAPTER 19HARLEY POV“Are you seriously not going to talk to me?” May pleaded following closely behind Harley as she walked to her seat inside the café. Harley stayed quiet taking out her notes from her bag as she finished making her study notes.“Come on Harley, I apologized a million and one times.” She added glancing down at Harley who yet again ignored her.“You’re not being fair right now Harley.” May added and Harley glanced up at her closing her book at the same time.“Talk to me.” “No May, I won’t talk to you.” Harley said returning back to her note.“I won’t let you study then; I’ll keep on disturbing you until you speak to me.” May said firmly.“Is this one of the café’s policy? Invading customers private space until they give into personal request.” Grey said from behind May who whip
CHAPTER ONE Nine years Ago “Harley!” the voice echoed down through the entire classroom, the red headed girl looked up from the journal she was scribbling in, tongue licking her dry lips. She watched as new pair of eyes from the front dart to look at her, seated alone in the back like she always does. “HARLEY MARIA ANDERSON, THE PRICIPAL OFFICE NOW!!” rising to her feet abruptly, knocking her journal to the floor. She picks up her book fixing the peeking tinted pages which had been detached back inside the confines of the book. Satisfied, she keeps her hair down, heading towards Mrs. Coleman her English teacher, who was waiting at the door. Many thoughts ran through Harley’s mind as she wonders what she must’ve have done this time, staring at her dirty chuck Taylors she blindly follows through until they reach the large oak doors. Knocking on the door, a come in passing as a grunt sounds from inside the office. Pushing ope
Chapter TwoThe next morning, Harley woke up to her blaring alarm which made her wince as the sound reached her ears. She blindly looked for the clock on the bedside table and punch it off when her hands touched the plastic material.She groaned as she rolled out of bed, she threw her blanket to the side exposing her legs to the fresh cold air coming from her window which was slightly ajar. She must have forgotten to close it after finishing up her homework which also explained why her room was somewhat cold.Her sock cladded feet moved towards the window to shut it when she saw the apartment caretaker talking to some random guy."Must be someone looking for an apartment." she thought.Speaking about roommates, she was supposed to meet with hers by 3 p.m today at the Black Winx cafe before they head back to the apartment together.Apparently, she had put it on the rent-an-appart app and a couple of minut
Roommates 3 She was two hour into reading the art of story telling when the scraping of chair from close by gained her attention. It was annoying that anyone would do something this aggravating in the library. She tried to ignore it and focused on the writing on the book but then something else got her attention. From her peripheral vision, she could see someone seating opposite her clumsily putting out text book in front of them making a clattering noise. She choose to ignore this also trying to believe that this was the persons first time in a public space and that the person was just nervous. By the time she heard the numerous dinging of the notification bell from her neighbours phone she had had enough. Slamming her book shut, she glanced up at the stranger. A sweet bitter smile on her face. "Don't you think you should put that out." she said through her tight teeth. The boy in front of her looked up from his phone, his face
Chapter 4"Are you stalking me or something?" she asked irritation filled her voice."Surprisingly no, this is just fate bringing us together." he replied charmingly."I won't be surprise if you were a stalker though." she muttered under her breath."So why are you here?" he asked her like they were friends."I should be asking you that." she retorted folding her hands over her chest."Well, I'm here to see some guy name Henderson." he shrugged his eyes scanning the cafe. "He told me he was here and for some reason he said he was seating just right where you are." he said turning back to face her.Harley frowned, she had not seen any guy come seat inside here except the bald dude who kept typing on his computer on one of the center tables in the cafe. She on the other hand decided to send Grey another text to see if she was still outside the cafe. The notification bell of the guy opposite her rang out."Weird?" he frowned
The rest of the week had gone by smoothly without her setting eyes on Grey even in class. She had bumped into Brad once or twice when she was coming back into the library. He was in a hurry and always waved her bye as he rushed to wherever he was going.Now Harley was still without a roommate and no one had taken up her offer. Grey on the other hand had not texted her concerning the apartment and she was glad for it.She spent most of her day time studying and staying healthy and at night she was completing home work or watching video seminars on writing.She was finishing up her home work that night when she heard the tumbling in the hallway. It was eleven p.m and she wondered who it might be, scared out of her mind she sat still until she heard the banging on the door opposite to hers. She jumped in her seat trying to push the fear bubbling within her.Before she could calm herself down, her feet were already taking her towards
Grey paced around her room waiting for her to step in. He was beyond pissed with her arrangements and had to confront her about it. "You know...." her voice died down when she saw Grey in her room and her face became straight. "Grey, you should stop coming to my apartment unannounced. I get that we're close but coming to my place without any form of invitation is you trespassing." Skylar said. "What did you tell her?" he asked glaring at her. Skylar walked past him, placing her bag and scarf on her desk. "The truth." She answered taking off her shoes, followed by her jewelry. "You told her that I was out fighting." He said. Skylar turned to him, her full brow raised. "Were you not?" she asked before sighing. "You came to my apartment last week beaten and bruised, was I supposed to lie to her?" "I didn't start anything up," he muttered. "Those guys asked for it." he seemed through his teeth. "W
