Chapter 9

Natalie's Pov

I woke up Friday morning with a smile on my face. I was going to get to see Micah tomorrow, and I get to model with him. Also, today was a special day, because today was the day I finally get to find out what Harry is being accused of. As I got ready this morning, all I could think about is Harry. Something about Harry just drove me over the edge. He gave me this feeling that I despised, but loved at the same time. I loved the way he smelt, the way he talked, his accent, his smile, his looks, his protective side, and his dangerous criminal side. Although I loved those things about Harry he was still Harry, and he was still a criminal. I hate how he makes me feel this way over him. I hate how I think about him at night before I fall asleep, or how I daydream about him in class, or how I find myself thinking about dating someone like him, just not him.

I was walking to my first class when someone bumped into me pretty hard, causing me to drop my books.

"Ow shit." I cursed.

"I'm so sorry! Here let me help." A male strong voice said.

I looked down to find a guy around my age bent down picking up my books.

"It's fine really. I should be paying attention." I replied, while watching him stand up.

He was tall, maybe six foot two. He was very muscular, he had hazel eyes with little tints of grey around his pupil. He had blonde hair that was swayed to the side. He had a fee freckles scattered across his face, and perfect white straight teeth shined when he smiled.

"I'm Max. I'm new here actually." He said while a smile. His smile was stunning and contagious so I couldn't help but smile back.

"I'm Natalie, it's nice to meet you. What classes do you have?" I asked politely.

"I have Law Basics, Law Justice, and Criminal Justice." He said.

"We have the first two classes together, so you can walk with me. If you want, and your last class I can show you too also." I said with a small smile.

I don't really know why, but I chose Literature over Criminal Justice. It was probably a stupid move, but I love Literature so much. I'm actually proud of my decision now. My parents weren't too thrilled, but all while I was growing up they learned to just go with my decisions. I'm very stubborn honestly.

"That would be great thanks." Max said, pulling me away from my thoughts.

"So do you live on campus?" I asked while we continued to walk.

"Yes I do. I don't really have any money for an apartment. I don't have family here either. I moved up here actually for my girlfriend. She is in Psychology, and I was in college down in Atlanta, so I wanted to be with her and that resulted in me moving."

"That is so sweet!! What is your girlfriends name?" I asked.

"Brittney Trent. If you know her, don't say anything please! She doesn't know I'm here, and I plan on making a special dinner for her tonight telling her to go to the building. I want to surprise we. Today is our three year anniversary." He exclaimed with a bright smile on his face.

"Your secret is safe with me" I smiled back.

I couldn't help but swoon over what he was doing for Brittney. I know Brittney, El and I both do. We have went out and partied once before. The fact that Max had planned this all out for his girlfriend touched my heart. It made me wish I had someone like that, and he would be willing to go above and beyond for me.

When Max and I left our second class together, I walked him to his next one.

"Thanks again." He said.
