1st Degree

Chapter 5

Lobby Girl

(Lilith POV)

Harley moves away from my face and turns back to the river.

I still don't know what he's going to do with me. I don't think he knows either.

By the look on his face, the gears in his head are turning profusely.

A few minutes pass. A few very very awkward minutes.

Sighing I slide down the truck to the ground, I get yanked a little remembering Harley is still holding the chain of my cuffs. I glare at him and he huffs before sitting down allowing me to sit next to him crossing my legs.

Someones grumpy.

Ugh I sound like Xai-  Never mind.

I look out towards the river and my mind starts to fade away. I start thinking about what aunt Lo would think of me right now. Would she be happy or sad? Does she understand why I do this? Tears start to bubble in my eyes but I blink them away. I don't think she would be proud of me, she was always so happy of our achievements and instead of hitting us when we messed up, she would teach us. I admired her patience and how much effort she put into raising children that weren't even hers. She deserved better. I close my eyes trying to bring my focus back to the river taking deep breaths. I exhale and open my eyes.

I turn to Harley. Opening my mouth to ask another question but stopped when I surprisingly saw him doing what I was. His thick dark eyebrows furrowed and his eyes closed taking deep breaths. His hand was behind my back still holding the chain of my handcuffs and the other in his lap with his legs stretched out and crossed over each other. I never realised how big his hands were. He could cover my whole face with one hand.

You know what they say about big hands....

Oh my god stop.

Anyways, he opens his eyes and turns to me, his mouth curls up at the corners into a grin. Damnit he just caught me staring at him.

You look like a creep, Look away dumbass!

But I can't help but look. Im drowning in his eyes. They are incredible and in the moonlight they actually look like the moon. My face feels hot and I start to blush as we stare at each other for a solid 5 seconds.

"Done checking me out princess?" He asks, his eyes lighting up and he chuckles.

His laugh is so fucking hot, Its so low and deep, holy shit-

I need to stop.

"Not yet." I retort and prop myself on my knees turning left and right trying to get all the angles of his face. I flash a cheeky smile and he doesn't take his eyes off me. I feel a little nervous now, in a good way though.

I sit back down and say " All done handsome." Looking at Harley and biting my lip trying to stop a smirk coming through. I turn back to the river, his eyes watching me as I do so.

Ew, now he's going to see my gigantic Arab nose that I inherited from my mom.

Snap out of it Lilith. Find out what he is going to do to you.

"So Mr. Micheals. What are your intentions with me?" I ask nonchalantly, shifting to face him again.

"My intentions with you Ms. Warner? What ever do you mean?" He replies, lifting an eyebrow and smirking.

"Well, you've got me where you want me. Handcuffed and unable to run. Though I am curious as to what you are going to do now. You can't kill me, but you sure as hell are not going to let me go. So, I ask again, what are your intentions?" I answer matter-of-factly and with a small smile.
