His Girl

chapter 68

James
I sat in my office going through work however I couldnt help but smile at the previous events. They went put for icecream,  he doesnt even know her likes and dislikes, unlike me. I felt pleased with myself for knowing her so well.  No matter how happy I was though, I had to look at the seriousness of the situation. This jake guy was a lawyer, although not a cop, he sure as hell could take me down if he found out about the illegal stuff I do. Damn I hate that guy. Maybe I'm being dramatic and overreacting but at the same time maybe I'm under reacting.
I wanted him dead just for trying to get with my Harper but I knew becoming the possessive jealous boyfriend, wait  no just friend  would only drive her away. There was no way i would do that, that's why every single shitty thing she does I ignore.
Damn I miss Harper, I miss her so much, shes here but at the same time shes not.
Fuck it. I cant do this, I cant keep missing her. I have to move on and accept the new Harper. For both our sakes.

Harper

This town was really starting to annoy me now. I knew it was important but I couldnt figure out why. Maybe if i could go there, maybe then I'll remember.  With this in mind I practically run to james office, hopefully he will agree.
I dont knock, he told me not too but maybe I should have, he looked sad, really sad. I didnt like seeing him like this.
"Are you ok" I ask being cautious. He looks up at me and flashes me a smile "of course, I was just about to order pizza" it was fake, he was upset.
"I was thinking tommprow, maybe we could go to this town, I really cant remember why it's so important but i think going there will help" i tell him and its quiet for a second "yes i think that's a good idea" his smile seems more real this time which makes me feel relieved. "I'm gonna order pizza, anything special you want" he asks and I shake my head. "Alright" he says picking up his phone. As he orders, I take this as a chance to look around his office, It had so many books and everything looked so expensive.  As I wandered around, I felt him looking at me and when I turned to face him sure enough, he was watching me. He spoke to the pizza people but his eyes remained on me. I ignored them and kept looking.
One book stood out though, it was placed the oppersite way to the overs, I carefully took it out,  to change it do it was matching the others. He must have finished  the call though because as soon as it was in my hands it was taken out of them and he was stood holding it. "What are you doing" he asked and placed it back in the shelf the same way as the others. "It was annoying how it faced a different way, I was just switching it" I say and a scary look passes his face. "Never touch these books, there is libary use it" he said in a cold tone. Wow. What the hell was so important about these books I wadnt even allowed to touch. "They are just books" I try to reason, knowing I would be coming in here tonight to find out what hes hiding. "Harper, these are my personal books, they are things I will not allow you to be involved in. Please just dont touch my books" he said, he started this sounding angry but ended sounding desperate.
It annoyed me how he said he wouldnt allow me. Like who does he think he is. I decide what I  want to be involved in, not him.
"You think because you dont allow me, it means I will do whatever you say because u said so. You dont fricken own me" I say in a raised voice. He looks shocked by my outburst then he looks upset, like I've just crushed his heart or something.  "No I dont own you but I'm doing everything I can to protect you and if that means not allowing you to touch my books then so be it" he says loudly.
"You're overreacting, I wasnt even going to look at it, I was just gonna swap it round. You have serious anger issues, maybe you should see a doctor" I say and he looks angry at this. "I dont need a doctor,  I need you to fucking stay out of my business" he shouts and I flinch away. He was scary. "Fine, I'm going to my room, if you allow me" I say and he glares "go ahead but the pizza will be here soon"
I quickly leave as I felt my eyes starting to blur, I made it to my room before I burst out crying.

Soooo my writing plan didnt go to plan
I wonder what the book was about or what was in it to make James react that way?
