Love Or War

chapter 1

She wasn't the perfect girl at first, but we have plenty in common. For example, we enjoy our fair share of books, mainly romantic novels, which I think is really cliché for a guy who doesn't believe in love. As much as I try it, it goes completely and is utterly wrong. The first time I ever laid eyes on her, she was wrapped in a black towel, and she had beautiful blonde hair that stopped just inches from her mid back that was damp.

She stood in the doorway, turning slowly as she closed the door, she slammed herself against it. My eyes slowly traced up her body till I saw her beautiful ocean blue eye. Man, I could get lost in those eyes, and her still in shock and let out shyly. " I think you have the wrong room." I held up the keys and replied, " This is room 223 right your roommate Kira let me in." Then, I looked back down at the book in my hands it was called pride and prejudice, which was kind like my copy except without all the notes attached. After twenty minutes of her asking me to leave and me being a stubborn asshole. For not leaving, Kira and Maddie walked in and offered her to come to a party, and I broke out in laughter " pity if she doesn't go because I couldn't imagine this one at a party" I said with a smartass grin. She takes one look at me and then states, actually, give me five minutes to get ready. I am going to this party. " I can already tell this one is going to be trouble.

We arrived at the house, which is also where I lived at on and off. I hopped off of my bike, and I sat my helmet of my handlebars and walked towards the front door. I turned to her and introduced myself to her and said "sorry I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Hardin, Hardin Teller-Morrow. " I reach out for her to grab my hand, but she gives me the cold shoulder and replies." My name is Hope Brown, and not to be rude, but I have a boyfriend." she turned away and headed to the kitchen/ dining room, and as she was walking, my eyes fell to her ass she was wearing a skin-tight black dress, fish net leggings, and knee-high boots. She grabbed herself a drink and pulled out her phone and swiped ignore. I walked through to the living room with a random girl draped around me, and I looked over at Kira and saw hope beside her downing the rest of her drink whilst watching me.

I walked to the couch, and as I was walking past, she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the spot beside her and Dylann. I tapped on hopes leg and asked her if she was okay, she nodded her head. I looked over to Dylann, who just swallowed a mouth full of vodka he offered me some but declined as I had church in two hours. I looked back up at hope as she got up, looking at her phone, almost with tears in her eyes, and rushed away from the noise. I got off the couch and followed after her. I find her standing next to my bike and I slowly approach her my chest just inches away from her back. As she turns around, I feel her arms wrap around me tightly I can feel my shirt getting wet from her tears I life her chin gently so she's looking at me I wipe the tears off of her face "hope do you want to get out of her and go somewhere more private so you can think" I want to ask her what happened but I don't want to invade on her privacy. she looks up at me with a small smile " That would be lovely Hardin, but I've never been on a bike before." i look at her with a smirk on my face "do you trust me hope if so, all you have to do is hold on tight and I will give you my helmet and hoodie to ensure you will be okay." she nodded her head in acceptance.

I began to pull off my hoodie and asked hope to life her arms up and I placed it on her and grabbed the helmet off of my handlebars and strapped it on her head I told her to wait with the bike I had to race inside and get my keys. once I got them and my vest, I ran back to find her on her phone looking at what looked like her and her so called boyfriend "hey got what I needed ready to go" As I hopped on and stood it upright and waited for hope to climb on. once she did, she wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her head against my back when we got to a place in the middle of nowhere. I turned off my bike and we both got off and we walked around the lake, and we sat on the grass on looked at the stars and getting to know each other more it actually felt nice to talk to someone who wasn't a part of a bike club or family.

two hours later we still mid conversation when we were interrupted by both of our phones going off, I looked at mine and it was my brother hope looked at hers in complete shock and answered hers " hey what's up, I am currently in my dorm why, is he okay what's going, oh my god o am on my way." she took one look at me " Hardin how fast can you ride I need to go home fast" I responded with "how fast can a storm form when hot and cold air mix together" she gave me a serious look and we both ran to my bike an hopped on and rode.
