Harley

I could feel the words on the tip of my tongue but somehow they wouldn't come out . One two three four five six seven eight nine ten , I counted as if it would help the situation .

I knew they'd be consequences for my actions, I just didn't know what they'd be or how big they'd be . Being romantically involved with a man like Spencer always had it's disadvantages - Where you were constantly a target , either waiting for his actions to come back and haunt you or gaining his enemies as your own .

I knew what I was getting myself into when I agreed to be with him but being with a man like Spencer was tiring , especially when I didn't know how he would react to the things I tell him , even my appearance doesn't do much to my case . I was in another man's t-shirt and briefs , the odds were not on my side . I know what it did to Spencer seeing me like this .

I've been watching him sitting in the same position he was in when I found an hour ago , he didn't move a muscle , he didn't speak or say something else other than "You smell like a man ". And I've been contemplating on my reply . I didn't even want to switch on the lights , his intense stare that stripped me naked was already too hard for me to bare , I couldn't face him . I didn't want to know the look in his eyes .

He was so livid about the kiss between me and Lonny , I remember the consequences precisely . I didn't want to know what punishments awaited for me after this , all I knew is that it was far more worse than anything . I deliberately declined his call and switched off the phone , I went home with Mark , the same man he told me to stay away from . Not only did I go to his house , I spent the night there and returned back home in the morning , wearing his clothes .

No man should ever witness his woman in other man's clothes . Thinking of my actions now made me a whole lot more aghast . " Nothing happened " was all my voice managed to say . Sirens pierced the silence in this room . I began to move closer to him but stopped when his voice commanded me to stop .

" Don't , you already have an odour , I don't want you masking the scent I know of you " his voice came out pained , that's when I knew I messed up . I was deplored with myself . "How long have you been here ?" I asked keeping my voice as low and quiet as possible . He scoffed at my question , he was never like this to me . " Can I see you please ?" I found myself begging for him .

" You wouldn't be able to forget the look in my eyes once you see me like this " . He said in monotone , his voice was distant and empty . "Why ?" He asked again . He didn't get to ask me why after the hell he's put me through in the last couple of hours . " You had thirteen companies bankrupt , why ?" I answered with a question of my own .

He slowly raised his head , only to drop it a few seconds later , " That shouldn't be your concern now I won't repeat myself , answer my question " . He said in an almost growl . " I was humiliated at work yesterday , she hit me and pushed me around . She was mean and she threatened me , I was never taught how to fight and I stood there feeling helpless . I was lucky that Mark was there but Thompson I promise you nothing happened , I just needed to be out of the scrubs , please " .

I walked slowly to him and knelt in front of him . " Do you want him , Harley ?" My name has never sounded so wrong before . " Only you " I whispered but he heard me . I tried to touch him but he shifted and stood up . " No , Harley you don't get to touch me , not today " he breathed out . " Please , I'm sorry " I apologized but he shook his head . " You should get ready for work " he told me , I had forgotten about that . Honestly I didn't want to go . I nodded and walked towards the bathroom . I stayed in the shower for a while , I knew I was not going to make it in time so I didn't deprive myself of a much needed shower . I stayed longer washing myself with lavender conditioner , I felt like I needed to be cleansed .

I didn't even bother myself with make-up . I tied my hair to two ponytails . I decided on black slacks and a plain white shirt and black boots . I went past the lounge and panicked when I didn't see Spencer . I ran to the kitchen but halted when I saw him sitting down and having his coffee , he sat his mug down when he saw me . " I thought you left ". I said , looking at him . " You should eat " . He said pointing at the plate of breakfast opposite him . With my head down I walked to my seat and began eating the toasted bread with eggs and bacon . I lifted my mug and sipped on the cuppaccino , " Thank you ". I thanked him . We ate in silence , when I finished eating , he stood up and took the plate to the sink .

" Babe " I tried , " You call each other that ?" he snarled , I understood he was angry at me but he could have acted better . " Thompson , of course not -" , " I'll take you to work ." He cut me off , walking outside . I wiped away my tears and closed the door behind me . I found him waiting in my driveway , next to his car . I was surprised his car was here because it wasn't here earlier on .

I walked to the car and he opened the door for me , without looking at me . I refused to drive with him in the car while he wasn't speaking to me . " No Thompson " I placed my hand on his chest , he was about to remove my hand when I wrapped both my hands around his neck . His jaw clenched , he looked away from me . " Please Thompson , kiss me ". I asked with my weary voice , he shook his head . I wasn't going to give up . I stood on my toes and brushes my lips over his . I gently kissed him , he wasn't kissing me back but I told myself I wasn't going to give up . After he saw my persistence , he slowly began to move his lips . He wasn't rushing or fighting for dominance , he wrapped his arms around my waist and his fingers dug at my waist .

" Let's go to work " he said pulling away from the kiss .
