Harley POV
We drove back to his house silently. I didn't dare saying anything. The way he barked at me at my aunts place made me wondered how long he would put up with my shit.
I was a broken, homeless, insecure little girl right now. Nothing worked out. Ever. How could I even consider that he wanted me. SO little time but so much drama.
I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. And suddenly I felt trapped. My heartbeat started to speed up. Richard was driving rather fast and I knew we would be at his place soon. But somehow I wanted to get out of this car RIGHT NOW.
"Stop the car" I whispered.
"What's wrong?" he turned to me.
"Just stop. I want to get out. Pull over." I said. Louder this time.
"I can't just stop here."
"Richard pull over or I'll jump out!" I screamed.
"Ok, ok!" he said. It didn't get unnoticed to me that he kept his calm.
The second he stopped the car I jumped out and started walking away. What did I think? Moving away, getting head over heels for some guy I meet just a day after moving. I wasn't that kind of person. My head felt dizzy and my stomach crunched up.
"Harley. Wait!" I heard his voice behind me. But I just couldn't stop. This wasn't right.
I tripped over something and fell on my knees. My breathing was fast and uneven. And for the first time I noticed I was crying.
I felt two strong arms lifting me up pulling me in for a tight hug.
"Breathe baby, please. Everything is fine." I heard him whisper. He soothingly rubbed my back.
" I just...I can't Richard... I'm sorry you are mad at me." I cried.
"I'm not mad at you! What the hell are you talking about?" he pulled me slightly away from him looking at my face. He swiped my tears away. "You listen closely now ok? I was never mad at you. I was mad at myself and that woman who you called an aunt. I'm sorry it was me that put you into such a position. I freaked in there. All I could think about was how to get you out of there as soon as possible! If I would've known she was that horrible I wouldn't have taken you there!"
"Really? I asked sniffling.
"Of course! God Harley. You don't even know what you do to me woman! 2 whole days with you and I'm acting like a cave man." He said laughing. "No woman has ever made me feel this way. I don't know what it is yet but just the simple thought of never seeing you again makes me go wild. We will figure this out. Together." He pulled me nice and tight against him locking my lips into a searing kiss.
We were interrupted by his phone going off. When he got it out he made a face. I didn't care listening to what he was talking out. I took his hand and we walked back to the car.
