Joanne- It was Monday morning, and the weekends which had just came had already disappeared so fast like the wind. Lying on my bed, as usual like a prisoner. I still could not deny the fact that I was still thinking about Theodore’s words since last Friday. It’s weird that he and Trinity are on to the same thing about me seducing Hardy. And if I do I’ll have my way here.What is actually wrong with them? I scoffed out loud and turned to the other side of my bed.And what’s been burning me up on the inside since Friday was when I took all I had in me and asked Theodore if he felt mad seeing me and Hardy day, I explained that he had gotten the wrong idea and Me and Hardy would never do anything weird.And how did he reply , he shook his annoying long hair and said he didn’t have any right to be mad, and then I asked why because between us we kind of had something going on.And then he said whatever we had going on was just to fill me up that he doesn’t have anything going on

Joanne contd. No matter how many events or parties I've attended with Hardy, the rush of anxiousness brought on by the onlookers always seems to get the best of me, and I always end myself wrapping my arms tightly around his.Hardy looked down at me and then ag our linked arms, before breathing out a sigh.“There's nothing to feel nervous about,” Hardy said , a low grumble in his chest.“Say that again but this time stare back at everyone gazing at us”“Just breathe. Don’t be dramatic” Hardy pressed, making my eyebrows flinch at his words.If this was Theodore or someone other than Hardy, they would have said something to make me feel better or any woman they were with at that moment, But hardy? Hardy is difficult, just like his name.I don’t think I can ever believe Hardy was nice before Lisa’s death.Someone like him can never be nice.I didn’t realize I was glaring at him until he scoffed.“Keep looking at me like that and you’ll ruin our reputation” “The only reputation you h

Joanne-“Where have you been?” Hardy’s thick voice made me sigh.Honestly, he seemed like a lot. He was, actually.“Bathroom break... what? You’re not going to let me breathe now?” I scoffed.“Not that; I wanted to introduce you to some important people." He glanced behind me. “Were you talking to someone?"“Not really,” I lied.He didn’t have to know.“Anyways stick close to me.” Hardy said, and I nodded, sure I would be sticking more than glue.-I thought the party was over; everything and everyone rounded up and started to leave. I couldn’t wait to take this dress off my body and soak myself in a warm bath.My mouth pressed into an upturned wryness as the words left Hardy's mouth.“What do you mean by an after-VIP party?” I asked. You could literally hear the sadness and disappointment I was feeling in my voice.We were both seated on a soft couch at the end of the room, watching the room become empty.“I know you want to leave; trust me, I do too. The last thing I want to do is h

JOANNE-Trinity shut the door behind her, and I found myself gulping like a drowning alpaca.Why the hell was Hardy here?“What are y--His massive strides towards where I was caused my breath to seize, and I stopped talking and slowly took a step back.I stopped walking when my calves hit the bunk of my bed, causing me to heavily take a seat.I shot up immediately.“Tonight..” Hardy began.He looked more than drunk.“What did you and Trevor do?” He asked again, getting close.“Like he said, we did nothing."“And you just had to go for a bathroom break when he said the same darn thing. Stop lying to me!” He yelled.Who let his horses out of his stables? Why was he getting angry?“Because I had to pee, you didn’t think I was running away or something?” I scoffed.“Do you think this is funny?”He finally got close to me, and his height towered over mine.I shook my head. “I’m not even laughing.”“Exactly,” He grabbed my chin with his fingers.What the hell was he talking about?“I brou

JOANNE-I woke up the next morning to an empty bed.There was no trail of Hardy, who had fallen asleep last night after our almost-body-thriving sex.I shook off last night’s thoughts that were slowly starting to creep in and slowly sat up.My mind had clearly done a better job at shaking it off, but my body still remembered every part of me he kissed and touched.I kissed my teeth and rolled my eyes in annoyance. Somehow it still wouldn’t leave my mind.Hardy was really gentle. It almost didn’t feel like Hardy.Was Trinity right all along? Could I possibly induce Hardy to develop feelings for me that influence his demeanor towards me towards becoming less aggressive?I shook my head. I shouldn’t let Trinity’s words dig deep.It sounded too crazy.I tried to imagine myself in love with Hardy or the other way around.And it made me shudder and gave me cold feet.He was the devil’s spawn. And they only manipulate, bend, shape, and use people in any form they want and like.Last night h
