Harley's POVI hiss in pain, feeling the blood rushing to my head as Antonio hurries into the mansion and parks roughly before running out to help me.Even though I am extremely weak and about to slip into unconsciousness, I still find him attractive, wishing I can touch his bare chest that is exposed as a result of the open two buttons of his shirt. His suit is off already and I have no idea when he pulled it off.He scoops me up in his arms before I know what is happening and I wince."I'm fine, Antonio", I can barely recognize my voice. It is low and weak, making me realize that I am not fine and I am losing a lot of blood.He snarls, ignoring my protest as he rushes in with me in his strong arms. I almost smile because of the look of concern on his face which makes me feel special. But on second thought, I have a feeling it is because I got shot and he feels responsible for it.I got shot while helping him and it is natural for him to be this concerned. I shouldn't attach any extr

Harley's POVStanding in front of the mirror with my dress concealing my bandaged arm glued firmly to my body, I bite my lips, regretting my loose mouth."Harley!" Chelsea's shrill cry booms into the phone and I close my eyes, taking the phone off my ears for a moment.Sometimes, I regret the fact that I am too open and transparent to people, especially someone like Chelsea.I just told her that I would be going on a date with Antonio. This is something I didn't tell anyone, including Alexis and Ann who are curious to know where I am going.I really do not know why I am doing this. I told Antonio not to let anyone know about this date. It should be a secret date between us both.I just don't know what prompted me to tell Chelsea. Probably because she brought up the topic of the date with Rike again."It is just a friendly date. I promised to go with him just so we could celebrate…""What is between you two?" She questions sharply, sounding like a mother scolding her daughter."What?!"

Harley's POVJust like always, I am here sitting for half an hour, waiting for Chelsea. I haven't ordered anything as I keep looking out of the transparent window for a sight of her car.I know if I don't show up, she won't let me be. I promised to see her yesterday and here I am trying to fulfill that promise.Expelling a sigh and leaning back on the chair, I fold my arms and a white car appears.It turns out to be hers and within minutes, she bursts into the place, with a bright smile on her face.I puff out air, glancing around to see that the weird looks I have been given since I have been sitting here are gone already."Sorry for keeping you waiting", she apologizes before slumping to the chair adjacent to mine."You kept me waiting the other time too", I voice out loudly with a frown on my face."I said I am sorry. So tell me, what is between you and Antonio?"In panic, I almost scream. "I told you already that it is just a friendly date, didn't I?"She falls silent, watching me

Antonio's POVWith her head placed on my shoulder, we sit together on the sofa with her hands entangled with mine.We have been sitting here in silence for more than 10 minutes. She drags me closer to her whenever the sound comes again. I don't want to cuddle her so I won't end up doing something else.This is what she needs and it will help her forget about her fear.It is in times like this that I like Harley the most. She has shown me her weakness and this makes her all the more real.She is human after all. Just unpredictable.What is with this thunder phobia? "I hate moment likes this", she murmurs, breaking the silence. It is still raining and I can barely hear the next word she is saying."I can't hear you", I say to her, leaning down. She raises her head at this instant and our eyes interlock with our faces a few inches away from each other.Her eyes dance around with emotions. Fear. Guilt. Regret. Sadness. Pain.I can't find what I want in them. Love. Happiness. Joy. Comfor

Harley's POVA blush creeps to my face at the remembrance of what happened this morning and how I spent the night in Antonio's arms.That action was confusing but it sent a tiny jolt of electricity through me and made me realize that what I feel for Antonio isn't one-sided. He feels the same way too.We have both been battling with our conflicting emotions; denying what we feel for each other and also unable to stay entirely away from each other.I planned to talk to him about us last night. I planned to tell him that I would love it if we stopped going out or doing anything extraordinary that comes with romance but I realized what I wanted to tell him to stop is the exact thing I want and crave every minute.I have been denying this all along but now there is no more denial.I am overwhelmed. I am in love with him. I want him. I need him. When he left my room, I was numb with emotions until I realized what had happened and I flew to my bed, jumping on it excitedly for what seemed li
