I'm in love with a Criminal

Chapter 7

"Shit.." Liz mumbled to herself after saying those words.

"He's a c-criminal ?" I asked. "What did he do..?"

"Rox-"

"What did he do?" I asked sternly.

"Look it's a long story there was this guy and he tr-"

"Liz just cut to the chase."

"He killed a man." She said softly and weakly.

"I JUST WENT TO THE BEACH WITH A MURDER!?" I cried.

"No no no , Roxy you don't understand the reasoning . It was only one time."

"You say it like its no big deal!" I stormed off and went to the Starbucks.

I felt instant relief after sipping on my Latte. I just don't understand why he would kill somebody he's so young. How is he not in jail? I didn't understand any of it. I sipped on my latte again trying to clear my head and forget about it all. I can't believe I've been here for two days and already.. This happened.

Just as I am starting to forget everything I just heard. I see a tall figure approach me. Of course.

Harry.

He pulled out a seat next to me.

"Can we talk about what happened tonight? I'm sorry I tried to kiss you I-"

"Forget it Harry I don't ever want to see you again." I pulled out my seat and marched towards the exit.

"Roxy.. Please." He began.

I kept walking he followed me outside.

"Harry get away from me!" I shouted walking faster and faster.

He finally got a hold of me. And spun me around. He didn't waste anytime before he pressed his soft lips against mine and for some reason I didn't pull away...

He backed away.

"Roxy. Give me a chance."

"Harry I- "

"Roxy ... Are you afraid of me?"he asked softly.

I lied.

"No I-I just."

"Roxy just meet me here tomorrow at 10am."

"O-ok."

I walked away. WHAT THE HELL?! WHY DID I JUST AGREE TO GO MEET HIM AFTER I WAS JUST TOLD HE KILLED SOMEBODY!?.

I walked back to my dorm trying not to over think things, I put on my pjs and went to bed.

I rubbed my eyes and glanced over at my clock.

9;20.

Should I jut not go.?

No I have to I guess.

I threw on some clothes and applied a little makeup and straightened my hair.

I made my way to Starbucks.

"You came?" He said shocked.

"Yeah." I said equally as shocked.

He gestured me to follow him, so I did.

We sat under a large tree on the grass.

"Soo.." He began.

"Soooo." I said .

"What classes do you have?."he asked hopeful that he might have some with me.

"Theory of Music and Literature."

"Seriously..?" He asked.

"Uh yeah .." I mumbled .

"I have both of those!" He smiled.

"Oh." Seemed to be all I could say.

"Roxy I know you don't like me but can you please give me a chance?" He asked hopefully.

Why should I give him a chance?

Well..

I don't know I guess everyone deserves one know matter who you are..

"Ok." I said with a weak smile .

"Can I take you to dinner tonight?" He asked with a smile.

Me, Harry ! Alone !? Oh no. Say No say NO!

"Sure." I said softly

C'mon Roxy !!!

He just smiled.
