What Little Girls Are Made Of

The Cottage

The cottage

My car arrived to the hotel before Harper's did so I took that chance to run to my room before he got there. I didn't want to run into him after what I had just pulled. I thought being around Kevin would make me sick but using him to get Harper back from playing his games made it a lot easier.

When I got to my room I called a rental car company. I knew I couldn't use my driver I didn't need witnesses around even though they did work for our uncles. Like me, the less they knew the better. I was pleased to hear the rental car company had a 2012 BMW M3 and it was in my favorite color, black. The car was going to be dropped off in an hour I told the guy just to leave the keys with the front desk.

There was a loud knocking at the door. I knew it was Harper so I took my time answering it. Once I made it to the door I didn't unlatch it so the door only opened three inches.

"Can I help you sir?" I said with a smart ass attitude.

"Unlock the door NOW Rey!" his voice booming with anger.

"Oh come on Harp! Get a sense of humor!" I said as I shut the door to unlatch it. When I started to open the door back up Harper didn't even give me a chance to open it all the way before he pushed it with his entire weight making it hit the wall behind it hard enough for it to bounce off that and slam it's self shut.

"What is your problem?" I yelled at him.

He didn't say a word to me he just pushed me up against the wall grabbed the back of my neck and kissed me with everything he had. I didn't fight it. This is what I have been waiting for. I couldn't keep my hands off of him and he seemed to be having the same problem because I felt his other hand all over my body.

His touch was so warm and so soft yet his kiss was so hard and full of passion. It was like he couldn't get enough of me but all I knew was I defiantly couldn't get enough of him. My lips suddenly felt cold and lonely and that is when I realized he had pulled away from me.

"You and I belong together I don't want anyone else but you. You can stop using Kevin to get me jealous. Mission accomplished, you win." He whispered to me.

"I wasn't using Kevin to get you jealous Harp, I was using him to win at the game you were playing." I whispered back with sad eyes.

"Game over, you win. Can we please get back to work without any games?" and with that said he kissed me one last time and I kissed him back to say I agreed.

After he pulled away I stood there trying to catch my breath. Harper walked over to the bed and sat down by the bed side table. He then pulled out the phone book that was in there.

"Who are you calling?" I asked him.

"We need a car for tonight. We are going to go to this so called cottage and look for evidence there tonight. I was listening to the directions he wrote down for you and that sounds close to where Sara was beaten and murdered." He said in one breath.

"I'm one step ahead; the car will be dropped off within the hour. I already called. I'm going to call my uncle and check in with him, and then get things ready for tomorrow just in case we are right about the cottage house." I said as I sat next to him on the bed.

"That's my girl always on top of things." And then he kissed me and headed to the door.

"Hey Harp? This doesn't change things between the two of us, you know that don't you?" and a tear fell from my eye

"It will change one day Rey I will make sure of that" he said with tears beginning to form then he was gone.

"Not unless you can somehow bring Elizabeth back" I said out loud to myself.
