Patience

29.Insane.

"You know I can drive to college right? I mean have a CAR Hardin?" I huff trying and almost failing to put it in his brain, that I can very well manage the ride to college which is a mere fifteen minute drive from my apartment. And he really doesn't need to pick me up or drive me there, just today when he is not even going to attend any classes.

" Yes. but I am still picking you up. Be ready if you really wanna go today...." he says, but then his face changes in a smirk, "Or we could skip and do something else, you know...... funn....". He says while dragging the word fun. Smiling , with that mischievous hint while sipping on the coffee cup.

I roll my eyes while placing my now empty cup in the sink.....

Of course I know Hardin. We can have funnnnnn.

Ugh. Tempting.

I am just about to give in, at all the possibilities , I have come to know of fun when I realize,

No.... I can't let him hypnotize me into skipping class again.

This would be the third time in two weeks of the new semester if I let him do this.

So no.. I sternly tell myself

"Fine." I say and I see him starting to smile wider thinking I may have just agreed to skip, "I will get ready by max an hour. " I say with flashing my teeth, and crossing my arms over my chest.

Take that Scott....

His face fall slightly at me choosing to go to classes, but he immidiately masks it with a smile of satisfaction.

"Good girl" He says and with a kiss on my forehead, he walks towards the door. I follow him behind.

" I am really doubting the purpose of my car right now, you know? I mean I could just sell and have the money to myself." I comment when Hardin steps out of the door.

He turns to me with a quizzical look.

" Well I don't get to drive it any more. You are driving me around always. You don't even let me go anywhere alone. It's like I have my own twenty four hour uber." I say pointing my hands towards him.

He stays silent for just a second, "
" Well then I will find a buyer" With that he paralyzes me with a wet scorching kiss on my lips and leaves...

Wait!!! No!!! SHIT!!!

" Hardin, that's called sarcasm. " I scream behind him once I have gained my senses but he is gone..

I just stomp my foot like an angry child and go back straight my room.

"All good babe?" Steph emerges sleepily, rubbing her eyes, " Hardin being Dad again? " She asks apologetically.

See, even she knows....

Let me tell you,
Friend Hardin and boyfriend Hardin are not just two different characters. It's a complete different story.

When me and Hardin were just suffering without confessing to each other about our love, with the title friend, he was still very caring towards me. He never showed it directly. But he was always there in the background. Not to mention he was moody towards me. Extra. But now that I understand, I know that he was just struggling about his feelings towards me.

Apart from that he is in general rude to almost everyone around here unless he has to get something done with his charms.

Smart-ass though.

But Hardin right now is different. He never shies away from making me feel loved. It's only three weeks into me and him officially dating, but with him it's like comfortable, ad if it was meant to be. When he said that he would protect me, I never in my wildest imagination thought that he was being this serious. After that incident at the club, it's like he has become my own personal security plus the fact that he is already my boyfriend.
