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

"Jett I have to go to work." I stomped my foot down hard. He was being ridiculous and acting like a petulant child. I checked my wristwatch seeing I had twenty minutes to get to work."Agree to go to the race with me." He dodged me, dashing across the room with my bag raised high in the air."You're a child," I growled. "I don't have time.""It's your weekend off.""Wait how do you know that?" I asked and his cheeks became red."Well, I ur asked Claire.""You're a creep."He shrugged. "And you're stubborn. I'm not taking no for an answer."I barred my teeth at him causing him to laugh. "Fine. Now hand over my bag." He grinned happily and handed it over."Great I'll take you to work.""I don't understand you," I said as I walked out of my room. There were plenty of girls that would happily go with him. I co

HoldenI watched her from the corner of my eye, tucked in the passenger's seat, hugging her shirt close to her body and staring out the window. She was uncomfortable and sat to the edge of her seat, farthest away from me. What was I thinking? Of course, she would be uncomfortable. I was horrible to her and on top of everything I got her fired. Mason was right I should have left her alone.But she agreed to help me. That meant she would have to pretend to at least like me. It had been a while since she said anything. She was probably thinking about all the ways this was a bad idea. "So your mother," she spoke breaking the numbing silence that was getting on my nerves. I so badly wanted to know what she thought, "tell me about her and your family." That was bold. I remained silent as I thought of a way to make my life seem all sunshine and rainbows. "I doubt my mother is going to give you a pop quiz on my family history, Bambi." She nodded and turned away again. "Well, it would help

"I can't believe you doing this," Jett groveled, holding onto my teddy bear. He looked like a child as he sat there pouting about me going to meet Holden's mother.I had explained everything to him, Claire and Sam last night; from me getting fired, to becoming Holden's personal chef— to get some sort of income— and lastly pretending to be his girlfriend.I was surprised at my own words afterward. It seemed like my life flipped upside down in less than three hours."I don't see why you have to be kind to him. He got you fired," Jett pointed out."I'm paying him back for that night he helped me. It's the least I could do since anything could have happened. Besides it's not like working for Robert was fun." "I wish I found you that night instead. Now Holden Harris has his claws into you." Something told me this wasn't just about me. Jett seemed to dislike Holden for some other reason."You don't like him do you?" I looked at Jett to see him fiddle with the teddy bear's arms."He's all J

I woke up and Holden was gone. I was surprised at how clean his room was left. I trotted my way to the bathroom splashing some cold water on my face. It was sad to say that Holden's chaise was better than the bed I slept on. I walked out of the room to see his sister standing by the oven. "Good morning," she sang. She looked happy another thing I was not expecting for the morning. "Good morning," I said and I felt awkward that it sounded like a question. "I'm sorry about last night. I hope it doesn't give you a bad impression of my family." She pulled out a tray of baked muffins from the oven."It's okay. I understand." She smiled, "how are you feeling though?" "Well, I spoke to my father. He's not happy with the whole being knocked up and not married idea but it's done and there is nothing he can do to change that." I twiddled with my fingers and Stephanie began prepping a lunch bag. "The thing about my brother and I is that we are very close and we have a pact that one cannot r

"Bambi wake up," Holden said and I cracked an eye open to see him squatting by my bed."It's just a nightmare," I said turning over to face the window. It was a sick nightmare, one I could never run from in the form of Holden Harris.I felt the covers being pulled off me and continued to keep my eyes closed. I was stubborn when I needed to be. Holden whistled. "My my, those shorts look dashing on you," he said and I shot up from bed."Get out," I ordered, grabbing the sheet from him to cover my legs. He laughed and moved towards the door.What was he even doing in my room."Wait," I said and he stopped at the door. "Why are you here?"He turned around to face me, amusement alight his eyes as a smirk covered his perfect jawline. "Oh, Stephanie wanted to go shopping.""And?""Must I spell it out for you, Bambi, you're my girlfriend."I put the pillow over my face. "I want to break up," I muttered.He laughed, pulling the pillow away and smacking me with it. "You are annoying." I covered

I got into the car with Holden. His mother and sister wanted to end the evening with a nice lunch and were still deciding on a restaurant. Which left us driving around until they came to a decision."I still think this was a very bad idea. We should have considered how big this lie would actually get." The driving around alone would at least allow me to get some sense in Holden's thick head."Can you relax? Please," he shrugged off my concerns, "everything is fine."How could he be so optimistic?"Holden, how is everything fine?" I looked at him and he kept his eyes fixed on the road."Being a bridesmaid is not that big of a deal.""Maybe to a man," I pointed out, "but for women we choose our closest friends and family to stand beside us on that special day.""You are such a sap, Bambi.""And you don't have one romantic bone in your body. What's your idea of a good time? Buy a girl dinner and then hook up and leave before she wakes up in the morning.""Precisely, no hard feelings," he

After the weekend I had it was hard to concentrate on lectures. I found myself slipping easily into a daydream. I tried to concentrate but since I didn't read any of the assigned chapters it was easier to stare at the lecturer and act like I knew what they were saying, meanwhile I was in a galaxy far far away.After the last lecture of the day, Jett drove me home. It wasn't even hard to concentrate on what he said most of the time. My mind was just not my own for the day."Are you okay?" Jett asked. It was half an hour till three and I had to go to Holden's apartment as per our arrangement.So in laments terms, I was not okay. I was the exact opposite of it and maybe it was the cause of why I had been so distracted most of the day. I was freaked out with a combination of nervousness. Who knew the Pandora's box that awaited me this evening at Holden's apartment.But I had a feeling if I could just get through this week then the rest of my life would fall into a routine. "Emery," Jett c
