-Day 15 and PAY DAY.

      Forehead furrowed, lips pursed, eyes slightly closed, flexed arms, legs apart, and little drops of sweat gliding down his forehead. Harry was carrying new boxes of supplies to the back while I stood in front of the rack of little girl clothes. Sure, I was peeking but because I never really experienced a guys muscles could look so, what's the word, hot?

      I shake my head and focus on hanging the new clothes. Focus, but I caught myself staring again.

"Hey." The moment I hear someone speak next my ear I scream. Maybe, I screamed a little too loud, making everyone around where I was turn in a fright.

"Darcy, it's just me." Jason chuckles and signals the crowd that everything was okay.

"You scared me." I grabbed my chest and closed my eyes for a second.

      A sound of a big thump made me reopen my eyes. Harry with his hands clutching on Jason's shirt in front of his chest and heavy breathing coming out of his mouth. What just happened?

"Harry, my man." Jason raspy New York accent chuckled. "Why the violence? Don't scare Darcy."

"Don't fucking touch her." Harry threatens. Suddenly I felt the room got smaller, the air has condensed, and I lost the ability to walk. He is protecting me?

"Get the fuck off." Jason shoved him off with one push. "Look at her."

      Both of their green eyes examine me then they angrily look back each other.

"Harry he didn't do anything to me." I finally speak.

"That doesn't matter." Harry growls.

"Harry, I wouldn't hurt her. She is someone who I would never wound." Jason retorts.

"Bullshit." Harry shoves him against the wall once again.

"Stop!" I scream, but he didn't listen. "STOP."

"Harry don't act so innocent yourself." Jason laughs. "You're only bad as me."

      Harry doesn't reply, but the world felt frozen around me by the fact of his out of the ordinary action and words. They both were defective and I am wisdom. I tried to stay away but now I am involved.

"I'll leave first." Jason says when Harry roughly lets him go. "Don't push me." He glares, leaving afterwards.

       Harry was still breathing rather rapidly until he turned to look at me. He came closer, my feet went backwards until it was mine turn for him to push against the wall.

"I told you to ignore him." He spoke barely even moving his mouth, gritting his teeth instead.

"He just-"

"You're into bad boys aren't you?" Harry slammed his hand to the wall and bent down to look at my face. "What is this? Some sort of love triangle? Are you confused about me and Jason?" Finally my gaze focuses on him. Green is the color I see. Glistening, shimmering, his dainty eyes to my vision.

       Yet, I was frightened by how how dark he looked. Could his shimmering eyes turn dark in just one blink? It made me look away.

"Harry, I have to work plus Bonnie might see."

Harry chuckles very lowly.

"Stay away from Jason." He adds in a whisper, leaving me out of breath next to the wall.
