Something about all of this feels surreal. I'm 'living' in Phoenix, with a girl I've wanted to be with, and the threat to us is minimal at the moment.
I walk into the villa and into the kitchen, Arabella sitting at the counter eating. She looks over at me and I grab her face, kissing her. The freedom is here and I'm embracing it.
"How are you, Bella?" I ask, her smile wide.
"I'm good. How are you?" she asks, my hands grabbing her sandwich. I take a bite, and sit in wonder as to how she makes such good sandwiches.
"God, I'm fantastic. Can you make me one?" I ask, my mouth full. She laughs, grabbing my cheek and kissing the other.
"Of course," she grins, standing up. I watch her ass as she moves to the fridge, the shorts we bought making her legs look long and put her ass on show.
She's fucking perfect.
I watch her make my sandwich and see just how amazing this life could be. We're out of the house and in a villa, living our lives as if we were normal.
"Here you go. Do you want it cut in half?" she asks, looking up at me. She catches me staring and she flushes, my hands grabbing her waist. I tug her into me and pull her in for a hug, taking all I can have.
We don't say anything after we pull apart, my hand grabbing my sandwich. I eat while she cleans up the kitchen, my hand grabbing my phone off the counter.
Multiple messages from Sacho and other members of Dark Plague show, my hand clicking the power button.
"Bella, do you want to do anything today?" I ask, turning to look at her. She turns around, wiping her hands with a towel as she nods.
"Could we go to the park?" she asks, my lips curving. The park is not what I expected but it's understandable, considering she's never been out really.
"Of course," I tell her, the two of us barely able to stop smiling.
She wraps her arms around my neck and I grab her hips. God, do I love her hips and getting to freely feel them like this makes me thrilled.
"I can finally go down a slide and swing on the swings," she beams, my hands lifting her up. She wraps her legs around my waist and she grabs my cheeks, my eyes admiring her smile. I'm so glad she's happy.
Even more so, happy with me.
"I'm so happy I can help," I say, her blue eyes closing as she kisses me. I hold her close and set her down, letting her go with one final peck. Then I watch her run up the stairs in excitement and I can't help but smile. So I run up after her and she laughs when I lift her up and drop her onto the bed. I climb on top of her and she laughs, my hand holding hers.
"Harry," she laughs, my hand tickling her side. She lets my hand go to push me, but her laughing continues.
"Let me get my shoes," she laughs, my lips kissing to her cheek. I get up and she goes to grab her shoes, my hands pulling out a white shirt from the drawer. I change my shirt and pull on my shoes, Arabella walking towards me. I take her hand and we go downstairs, walking out to the truck.
When I get her in, I drive us down to the park and a few people are at the park. She's so excited and I park, but she's already out and running towards the playground. I can't help but smile and she runs up the steps, her voice calling for me.
"I'm watching, Bella," I say, her body sitting down and she moves down the slide. I smile and she runs up to me, my arms wrapping around her.
"Harry, come down the slide with me. Oh my gosh," she says, my lips pressing to her forehead.
"Let's go," I say, her hand tugging mine towards the steps. We walk up and I sit down, pulling her onto my lap. We go down the slide and she jumps up, my lips parting as I laugh.
"Go play, Bella," I smile, her feet running off. I move towards the monkey bars where she is and a woman comes up to me, my attention diverting to her.
"Isn't she a little old to be so excited?" she smiles, my eyes glancing over to Arabella.
"Yeah, but she was homeschooled and so um, she never got out like this much," I attempt to explain, and she nods.
"You must be getting good boyfriend points for this," she says, and I look at her when she says boyfriend.
"Uh, sure," I smile, then she pats my back and I look back at Arabella. She's moving across the monkey bars and I smile, not realizing until now that I could potentially be her boyfriend. I've never really had a relationship, only a few nights with girls. It wasn't like I wanted to have sex and all that, but it was the circumstances. When Sacho tells the men he brought girls over, you have sex so the girls keep coming back. I can't lie and say it wasn't great, but it wasn't what I wanted.
This is what I want. A girl who is happy playing on a playground.
As I make my way over to Arabella, she jumps off the monkey bars. I get up to her and before she says anything, I grab her face and kiss her. The freedom is amazing and I just want her.
"Bella, will you go out on a date with me?" I ask, her lips curving into a smile.
"Yeah," she blushes, my lips curving. I peck her lips one last time, her hands grabbing mine as she tugs me to the swings.
I push her and she laughs, happy as ever. My heart is racing and I can't understand how my life has gone this long without finding something like this. No job is worth losing this - but my problem lies with my boss. He could easily get rid of me just as easily as I took her away from the house.
My hands stop pushing her and I move to sit in the swing beside hers, watching as she relishes in the moment.
A vibration is felt in my pocket and I pull my phone out, noticing that a message is from Sacho. I make a decision to open it and that's when my stomach drops.
Sacho: Dumbass, tracked your phone. You're not fucking clever.
I drop the phone and I get up, running my fingers through my hair.
"Harry," Arabella calls, getting off the swing and grabbing my waist.
"He tracked us," I say, her eyes focused on mine. "Sacho."
She pales and I grab her cheeks, her eyes looking into mine. "What do we do?" she asks, my lips pressing together. I think quickly and I grab her hand, running us back to the truck without picking up my phone.
"I don't want to go back," she makes it clear, my hands clenching the steering wheel. We get to the villa and I tell her to pack her stuff and we're out. She nods and we run, packing everything we had and meeting back in the truck within five minutes. I pull the truck back on the road and drive, going south to Texas.
.....
So I went to see Dunkirk! Omg it had me on edge with my heart pounding the entire movie. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. The only thing is- Harry is an ass in the movie. He's hot as fuck but kind of a dick. You've been warned but still go see it!!Please vote comment and share!
Much Love! <3 xoxo
