The Bad Boy Odyssey Chapter 17
Holden's POVI woke up on the beach next to a beautiful girl. She slept silently beside me. Her body rose and fell and I covered her with the other half of the beach towel and sat on the sand.I had to tell her she wasn't my type. If I told her I was attracted to her I didn't know how she would react. Good or bad reaction I felt it would have a negative end result.If I told her how I felt she would like me and I'd want to kiss her and touch her. I didn't want to break her heart. I denied myself her because I wasn't going to be that big of an asshole and destroy her.If her reaction was negative and she felt creeped out by it she would never want to see me again.She was a good girl and I was not the guy she needed in her life. Jessie's little brother would do for her. But she needed an adventure and that little shit taking her to a motorcycle race then to a dumb party afterward— with predators lurking was idiotic.If I couldn't have her it didn't mean I couldn't give her memories. I c

Emery It was a clear night. The sound of crickets was barely audible due to loud music coming from down the street. Every house on the block was lit up in bright light. People roamed the street happily laughing with their friends and talking loudly. The cab driver swiveled in his seat to look at me. Of course, I knew what that meant and scratched in my pocket pulling out a crumpled ten-dollar bill and a few cents. I handed him the money and stepped out of the car. Everything just got louder and felt much more real. In the car, it was like I was watching through a screen. I was protected by that unhygienic cab interior and exterior. I took in a deep breath. Get it together Em. I moved over to the trunk to get my luggage. It was only university, not a lion's den. I could do this. I could be an adult, even th

Holden I grabbed my car keys from the table, pocketed my phone, and shrugged on my jacket. I was going to Jessie's yearly house party. Jessie, Lynch, and Cade. We all became fast friends considering we shared a lot of the same interests. "Going somewhere." I heard Mason ask and I turned around to see him standing at the entrance to his room as he watched me. Mason was my babysitter, yes my fucking overbearing stepfather who I'd crawl to the ends of the earth to be far away from sent him to babysit me. Not that I disliked Mason, he was more my best friend than Edward's bitch. "Hello to you too dear," I rolled my eyes while looking for the keys to the apartment. "Just going out for a little late-night stroll. Care to join." He waved his hand in the air. "My days of late-night strolling are behind me." "Oh come on mate Ariana is back i

Emery Hooters, police sirens, and the sound of a helicopter shattered the Shangri la of a peaceful sleep that distorted my realities. Thick black curtains covered the windows allowing minimal lighting in the room. The sound of running water and masculine whistling got me to sit up. I was on top of a large soft bed. The bed smelt like musk, a distinctive scent of a man. Then in my disoriented state, I couldn't remember an inkling from the previous night as I wondered how I came to be in this place. Then in a moment of panic, I threw my sheets to the side in fear that I did something stupid and reckless last night. I sighed when I saw I was still in my clothes. I moved to get out of the bed and searing pain pierced my temples causing me to fall back and sit on the bed. The room around me spun and I was fighting the urge to lay back down. This must of been what a hangover felt li

Emery My first week of working at Giovanni's was bearable since I already knew what to expect from the customers. I just had a few more weeks left to prove Robert Giovanni wrong about me and get that wage raise. Despite the somewhat ratchet customers, Robert was a crude man who voiced his thoughts without an ounce of concern on whether or not it sounded offensive. If even a hair was out of place on someone's head he would tell them to get out of his sight and fix the trainwreck they called hair. The other waitresses and chefs I befriended while working there hated him with good reason. He was an awful miserable man that had nothing good to say about anything or anyone. Not once did I hear him praise his staff for good work but plenty of times I heard him belittle them and their efforts. Turning the shower faucet off, I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body before moving to exit the bathroom. Today was my first day of Univers

Holden And there she stood in front of me, her long chestnut hair in a high bun with locks cascading down her sweet face. Her beautiful brown eyes stared curiously at me. Bambi. I almost didn't recognize her but her beauty spot and big doe eyes were a dead giveaway. I thought I would never see her again. It was the first time a woman had left my apartment willingly. I went after her but she had vanished as if she had never even existed having me question my mental health. "Right this way." She smiled and began leading us throughout the restaurant. She stopped at a table and we took our seats. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I fished it out to see it was the group chat. Jessie, party on Friday night gents. It's only Monday Jess, Lynch replied. My phone began buzzing frantically and I exited the

Emery I was furious. Just who did he think he was. I wiped down the tables in the restaurant, throwing the tablecloths into the wash cart. I had a few more weeks to go to get that raise and prove everyone wrong and tonight I almost slipped.That pompous, arrogant... English snob with his stupid accent! almost ruined everything. He probably thought having money made him better than everyone else. That he could speak to people in any manner he pleased and get away with it."Emery, Giovanni wants to see you," Seth said throwing a table cloth into the basket as well. "Woah you going to scrub the wood off the table," he laughed."What does Giovanni want to see me for?" The anger was evident in my tone and Seth paused. I let out a breath, trying to calm myself.It's over now Emery let it go."I'm sorry Seth. I had a rough night." He nodded grabbing another one of the clothes and folding it up before he dropped it into the cart."Just be weary when you go to see him. He isn't in the best of

Holden It was Sunday and I sat hunched over my textbooks on animal behavior and psychology. I couldn't stop thinking about Bambi. Did she hate me as much as she showed, I had to wonder. Women were taken with me from the first glance. Bambi was different even in her drunken state she didn't throw herself at me. Maybe she didn't find me attractive. That was crazy she had to... all women did. Besides, there was something about messing with her that excited me. It gave me a thrill watching her get angry. The image of her trying to get the stains out of my shirt was burned in my memory. Her cute angry face and those vicious brown eyes that held fear whenever I moved too close to her. What a pathetic arse I had become, making excuses to see her face. "What is wrong with you Holden?" I asked myself banging my head on the desk. "Forget it. She hates you." "You've finally los
