Chapter Nine

Shit.

Why did I always get myself into these types of situations? I was currently hiding behind a small shrub in the backyard. I knew that Harry had followed me back here, I could tell by his heavy breathing.

"I know you're back here, princess. Be a good girl and don't hide from Daddy," Daddy? I felt my cheeks redden at the sudden use of nicknames and as much as I enjoyed them, I didn't dare reveal myself. I truly didn't know how he didn't see me because the bush barely covered my body. Maybe he was just stupid.

"Fine, be difficult then. I'm going inside to shower," I heard his deep, gravelly voice say. I waited and listened for a few moments to make sure that the coast was clear. I slowly stood up from my uncomfortable position and screamed when I saw Harry leaning against a tree with a cocky smirk on his face.

"I'm going to have to teach you how to be less naive, baby girl," He laughed as he moved towards me. Once again, I was unable to move. I captivated by his alluring eyes.

"You're such a pain in the ass sometimes," Harry teased, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Yeah? Well how's this for pain in the ass?" It took all my strength to push the tall boy into the bush and I didn't even wait to see him fall. Instead, I ran back into the house, remembering to lock the back door so he couldn't get in. I looked out the window and giggled as Harry tried to brush off the branches and leaves that had stuck to his clothing. For a 24 year old man, Harry had a very extraordinary wardrobe. He always wore a button up shirt but never fastened the top buttons. You could see the inked drawings that lay upon his chest and I found myself wanted to trace each one with my fingers. I could see the veins on the side of his neck pop out from fury and it only caused me to laugh harder. I ran upstairs to avoid Harry's temper but even then I could hear his angry cries for me to open the door. Ignoring him, I picked up my phone from my bed and saw that I had one missed call from Stella and one text from Grifyn.
I decided that I would call Stella back later and opened the message from Grifyn.

*Grifyn: Hey, about that date...

I totally forgot about the date that I had promised Grifyn when I saw him in the supermarket the other day. I quickly typed out a short reply.

*Blake: What do you have in mind?

Instantly I got a reply back and I was suddenly very intrigued.

*Grifyn: How about tomorrow night at 7?

*Blake: it's your lucky day, I happen to be free that night. What are we going to do?

*Grifyn: It's a surprise ;)

I giggled at his use of the winky face. I found it adorable that he was putting thought into this and wanted to surprise me however I was nervous because I absolutely hated surprises.

*Blake: What should I wear?

*Grifyn: Whatever you wear will be perfect :)

I smiled down at my phone and sent Grifyn a heart emoji with a simple "okay" because I honestly didn't know what to say. Stella was always the person I always went to for boy help since she was a year older than me and obviously more experienced. My mind drifted onto Stella and I realized that I didn't call her back. I missed her pretty face too much so instead I decided to skype her. I pulled out my laptop from under my bed and logged onto Skype before sending Stella a text.

*Blake: Answer my skype call bitch.

I waited a few seconds as the call kept ringing and what after seemed like twenty minutes, Stella finally answered. Her beautiful blue eyes and perky blonde hair made me miss her even more.
