Wicked Obsession

Monday, July 15

"Cameron! Please wait." I shout after him.

He ignores my call and continues to walk away. I pick up my pace to catch up to him, although I don't have a damn clue as to what I am going to say. There isn't a way to explain what he just saw, I don't even understand it myself. Harry was so mad that I was literally terrified of him and then the next minute he is seducing me with those perfect lips, his deep tone, and just his overall look.

I've never cheated on anyone before, in anyway, and I can definitely say that I hate feeling like this. I really like Cameron. He's sweet, kind, and treats me with respect. He never cusses at me and even when we've had arguments, he's the one who pushes his pride aside to make sure we're okay. He listens when I talk and is engaged in any and every conversation we have. I am honestly just so lucky to have found him in the first place.

But Harry.

I fucking hate him most of the time and the only time we've ever gotten along is at that stupid fundraiser, and that was for only half of the night. He cusses at me constantly and treats me like I am a possession rather than a person. He never has anything kind to say (not that I do either) and if I were a weaker person I would most likely be in tears everyday. Yet, he has the manner about him that no matter how hard I try to resist, he pulls me in. I'm not usually so lustful but when it comes to Harry... It's like I'm not even in control of myself anymore.

When I breathe in his scent, it pollutes every sense in my body and when he speaks to me it's like a sirens call. He consumes my soul and in those brief moments, no matter how I feel about him, I am at his mercy. It pisses me off and horrifies me all at once. I don't want to fucking feel this way about him or have any kind of attraction to him at all. I just want to uncover his secrets, expose him for the asshole he is, and make my name in the journalism world while doing it. Is that too much to ask?

When I finally catch up to Cameron, I pull his arm into my hand. He immediately pulls away but turns to face me.

"What do you want Aurora?" His voice is cold and unfeeling. I expected him to be mad, blow up in my face but instead he just seems... sad. I'm never good with emotions, especially when it comes to dealing with my own. We both stand there awkwardly for what seems like eternity, him waiting for my explanation and me looking like an idiot.

He sighs heavily and continues in the same tone as he says, "That's what I thought. You know, I thought you hated the guy but I guess what everyone says is right, money makes all the difference."

I instantly snap my eyes in his direction and glare harshly.

"What the hell? How dare you think of me that way Cameron! Do you really think I am that kind of girl?"

"I didn't think you were the type of girl to cheat on me so it shows you what I know."

His constantly calm voice contradicts my loud one and his lack of fight is irritating.

"I can't believe you. I don't know how to explain what happened with Mr. Styles because you're right, I hate him with every fibre in my body. What I did was unforgivable and I get that but I thought you were better than me and you aren't. I chased after you because I care about you Cameron and as soon as I am freed from this contract, I'm out of Acerbus Enterprises and away from Harry Styles forever. I wanted to be with you, not him."

"Wanted?"

I shake my head and let out an airy laugh. "I just don't think I can be with a guy who insults me when he's hurt. You didn't even give me a chance to explain before you lashed out."

He shrugs his shoulders and finally anger seeps through his features.

"Well I'm glad we're at an agreement because I can't be seen with a cheating whore."
