Chapter 9

HarleQuinn POV

I've decided I should take things slow and test him a bit to see if he could potentially be 'the one'. He's more respectful and less of a horndog than he was when he first got here; I wonder what made him that way. Now that I think about it, there's so much that I still don't know about him. Like why he left his parents to come see me, and where'd he get the money to move to my neighborhood.

Skyler is sitting on his phone with the tv on for background noise. We've stayed inside all day today because this week has been tiring, we both need a break. Luke and Marlow had their date yesterday and I haven't heard from Caleb at all for the past 2 days. Brandon and I are supposed to be playing Imessage games right now but I'm a bit distracted. Who wouldn't be when you have a guy with mid-length, beautiful black hair, hazel eyes, and full sleeves tatted on both arms laying in the bed next to yours shirtless?

I was so caught up in staring at every bulging vein that traveled from the posterior of his hand   up to his shoulders that I didn't realize he looked up from his phone. "Why are you staring like you want a bite of me?"

"How is it that you've seen me completely butt-ass naked, but I've only seen you so much as walk around in your underwear?" I didn't even think before I let it come out of my mouth.

He got out of bed wearing just his boxers, as I just mentioned, and got alarmingly close to me. His eyes scanned my body language and his hands roamed around my curves until he finally decided to answer my question. "You're saying you want to see what could one day be yours?" I allowed my back to arch to his lustrous touch. As he led his hands under my shirt to my chest area, he was looking right into my eyes, and I was looking back. Holding eye contact was hard but I tried my best to show him what I wanted without using my words. Suddenly, he took his hands away and smiled a genuine yet confusing smile. "Proper friends don't do stuff like this do they?"

"Well, no not necessarily but-"

"Then maybe we should follow the rules." I instantly regret what I said yesterday, but I had to keep my word. "What do you think about that, Quinn?"

Oh god, he's even using my common name now. "You're right" I tried my best to keep the disappointment from showing in my tone. He went to the bathroom and I went back to playing with Brandon.

After a while, I got bored of sitting around and decided to go hang with my brother on the beach. There were people jumping waves, riding bikes, making sand castles, and drinking. Luke was digging a huge hole in the sand; I joined without asking about his motives.

About 30 minutes later it was already 5 feet deep and 3 feet wide. "Alright, now I'm gonna stand in here and I want you to fill the hole and bury me so it looks like I'm just a head." We both started laughing and I did as he requested.

This brought back memories. I love doing dumb things with my brother, it makes me feel like a little kid again. Soon the sand had completely engulfed his body and he had no chance of escaping. People started surrounding us and taking pictures. I had a smile so big and a laugh very loud; until I saw a certain someone in the distance talking to someone I'd never seen before. When did he leave the hotel?

He was laughing and talking with what looked like a woman in her early twenties. She was dragging her hands up and down his tattoos and chest as if it was her first time seeing someone ripped and tatted. The sight annoyed my soul. He saw me and waved, I didn't do it back. "Quinn take a picture so you can help me out!" I was hearing a muffled noise behind me but my brain wouldn't register it. Someone kept calling my name but I was too hooked on the sight I should've never seen. "HARLEQUINN"

I broke out of my trance and turned my attention to my brother. I quickly took a picture and started digging him out. Other people on the beach started helping me. "I'm sorry, I got distracted."
