Antonio's POVI never thought I would ever give intentional distraction a chance in my life I was distracted at work today and I don't even feel remorseful.It makes me wonder how much I have changed. I am still the same Antonio but something has changed in me and this is as a result of someone.Harley Davidson.The same woman I thought I despise so much. The same woman I called proud, rude, and stupid. The same woman who punched my nose till it bled. The same woman I was bent on ruining just because of the bad impression I had of her on our first meeting.It is so hard to believe that someone I thought I hated is someone I admire so much that it hurts now. How can hatred turn to admiration so quickly?I won't deny the fact that I enjoy Harley's company. I enjoy watching her and seeing her smile.My intentional distraction is making me go home early today without completing my job for the day.I couldn't keep my mind off what happened this morning. It took me a whole lot of strength
Harley's POVSitting in front of the window, the chilly atmosphere makes the hair on my body stand and goosebumps appear all over.It is becoming cloudy again tonight and I know it will be very difficult to sleep tonight. I make up for most of my sleepless nights by taking a short nap at noon which isn't difficult to find but most times, I don't have time to take a nap.I expel a sigh, dragging the comforter wrapped around my body closer and looking out of the window.Tonight feels different. I don't even feel scared that it might rain and there will be thunderbolts. Perhaps, it is because I am more concerned about Alexis and our earlier conversation is making me sad. She doesn't look happy about my friendship with her father and now I am sure she would never support whatever is to happen between us, if it ever happens.I was optimistic about Antonio this morning but now I feel void. It saddens me to see Alexis angry with me. I tried to explain things to her but she wouldn't listen.
Harley's POVThe sound of the incessant knock on the door makes me stir in my sleep as I let out a groan when I feel a pain in between my legs.I am sore.I am sore? I ask inwardly as my eyes flutter open immediately and I sit upright, ignoring the pain.The memories of last night come rushing and I stare down at myself. Nothing has changed. I am still the same Harley. The only difference now is that I am no longer a virgin.I have been deflowered by no other man than Antonio. The same man I wished to give my virginity to. The same man whom I have fallen heads over heels in love with, even when I don't know what the future holds for both of us.Remembering how he sang the love word to me last night, I feel overwhelmed with emotions as I facepalm myself.I can't believe I am no longer a virgin. Antonio and I had sex last night and it was amazing. Slow. Passionate and the sweetest thing that has ever happened to me.All along, I have been preserving myself for just one man. It is Ant
Antonio's POV Grabbing the intercom, I yell into the phone. "Why the hell did you let her in?" "Sir…I..I..am…", Susan, my new Assistant stammers into the phone with fear. "Come into my office now!" I command with a tone of authority and drop the phone before facing Amelia who is already settled on the chair before me with a sheepish smile on her face. I seethe in anger as I watch her, patiently waiting for Susan to come here and explain why the hell she let her in without informing me beforehand. I haven't seen her since I fired her and showing up now without any guilt or remorse is annoying the shit out of me. I have been having a nice time, working with ease before she came. Susan rushes in with fear evident in her expression. She bows lightly without raising her head to look at me. Reducing the volume of my voice, I ask her. "Why did you let her in?" Amelia is still sitting with crossed legs, looking like someone who has no care in the world. I can't believe I have known he
Harley's POVChelsea has a bewildered look on her face as she stares at me with wide eyes. I am not sure if she is going to be supportive of this just like Alexis and Aunt Kayla are in support, or not.I was greatly scared that they wouldn't support Antonio and I and not having their support meant Antonio and I couldn't be together. They supported us and I am glad everything is working well for me. Now that Chelsea is here and I have informed her of my new relationship with Antonio, I don't know if I should ignore her or try to convince her that this is for the best and we need her support as well.Chelsea might not be Antonio's biological sister but their family bond can either put a stop to our relationship or strengthen it. I need her to support me.She burst into my room with an angry expression, asking me what the hell is happening. I haven't called her since the other time I left her and Rike at the coffee shop and I am sure this is not about it.Aunt Kayla must have told her
Antonio's POV"Daddy!" An excited Alexis rushes into my arms as I twirl her around while she giggles."How is my Princess doing today?" I hand over the briefcase to Ann who is beside us with a smile."I am happy. Harley has agreed to be my mommy", she informs me immediately. "I know she will forgive me and accept you if I invite Grandma to talk to her."I raise a brow. "You invited Grandma to talk to Harley to be your new mommy?" She nods with a smile.I haven't thought of informing Mother about my decision to have Harley as a girlfriend. Everything is happening so fast and I thought they wouldn't understand. I wanted to give it time, time to grow my love for her, time to get to know each other better before telling Mother.My major focus was letting Alexis accept Harley and now that it is done, I am exhilarated. I can't believe she has made it easier by telling mother on my behalf.Since Mother didn't object, I am sure we have her support too. Mother had always loved Harley and getti
Antonio's POV"You wanted to ruin me, right?" She approaches me with a look of threat. "You are a fu**ing coward for doing that." She push me."Harley, listen to me", I try to touch her but she moves away from my hold. "Listen to me for God's sake!""Leave!""I am not leaving until you hear me out", I yell, standing my ground. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She fumes in silence before turning her back to me. I let out another deep sigh, thinking of how to sort this out. I made a huge mistake and I regret it. "I'm sorry." I only say."Sorry?" She snarls with her back to me. Silence creeps in again and I drop my briefcase on the floor and approach her.Before she can turn back, I grab her quickly. "Listen to me, Harley", we both struggle. She is struggling to get out of my hold while I am struggling to make sure she doesn't get off my hook. "Listen to me, goddammit."She is succeeding in taking my hands off her but I secure the other hand around her and we both stumble forward. Sh
Harley's POVI stir in my sleep to realize that someone is at my door. The knocking on the door is light and I am sure it is from Alexis. That is how she knocks on my door.With a smile, I get up from the bed and walk slowly to the door. I feel tired and in need of more sleep, so I rub my eyes with the back of my palm."Mommy, are you still asleep?" I hear her tiny voice before I open the door.The door opens revealing her in her pajamas which is an indication that she just got out of bed too.I really do not know whether Antonio spent the night here or not or whether he has gone to work or not.I slept soundly like a baby without any care in the world. All I know is that he was in my room last night before I fell asleep.He has replaced Jim. In every area. In all ramifications.In fact, he is a great lover. Better than Jim.I used to sleep on Jim's chest. He was my pillow and now I am doing the same with Antonio. Anytime I place my head on his chest, trailing my hands over his hairy
