Harpers POV

I couldn't help myself from staring at him he was beautiful. When our eyes met, I immediately looked away. Eye contact would be way too much at this point. I have some stuff to do before this dinner so I'm going to take you back to your truck. " I started the truck, and we were off. After I dropped him off, I headed back to my house the first thing I was doing was taking a nap. It was a lot I had to process and the best way to let my mind settle was to nap. When my alarm went off at 5:30 I got up took a quick rinse-off shower to wake me the rest of the way up. I hopped out lotioned up and went to my closet I didn't know what to wear because I haven't looked through all the clothes. I called my best friend Jenny on facetime.

Jenny is the epitome of the words girly girl she was a petite Hispanic with long black hair she's, my age. We met in high school when she was being pinned to the wall by these two football jocks who were being assholes, I went up to them and punched one of them in the face, the other knew who I was, and just ran the other way. He knew that my brothers would find him if he tried anything with me.

She helped me find this cute royal blue crop top; a pair of tan ripped high-waisted skinny jeans, these blue ankle boots, that weren't here before my accident, well none of it was, I guess. Then I found a tan cardigan, that matched perfectly with the jeans. His sisters knew how to shop for clothes, except for most of the front of my closet where it was filled with dresses and skirts. Those aren't for me I'll have to donate them somewhere I've worn one dress in my whole life never going to happen again. I wet my hair and put some more curl gel in it I did my makeup very naturally only concealer setting powder then did my eyebrows then put some mascara on as soon as I put the lid on the mascara heard a car door shut outside. I was so nervous. I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:29 as soon as the clock changed there was a knock on my door. I went to the door and opened it to find the biggest bouquet of red roses I'd ever seen in my life. All I saw of the man holding them were his legs and his big ass hands that were holding the vase, his fingers intertwined so beautifully around the base. "These are for you I know that I fucked up and I'm ready and willing to do anything to gain your forgiveness, and I do mean anything." At this point, he lowered the flowers just enough so he could look into my eyes, and I saw his eyes darken to a dark sky during a thunderstorm the sexual tension was so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife. "Let me take those from you." I walked into my kitchen and put a little bit of water in the vase and walked back out towards the front room he was standing in the middle of the living room with his hands in his pockets looking terribly out of place. "Let's go I'm driving I still don't trust your driving." "Ok, I get it I made reservations at Chong's the Chinese place o-." "I know where it is it's my favorite place to eat." "Well good, then I'm glad I picked it." We headed to the jeep and started on our way the drive was slightly awkward I think he was nervous about tonight, but I was looking forward to it. I wanted to get to know him better. We got to the restaurant, and he got out first and made his way to my side of the jeep. He opened my door before I could and held his hand out so he could help me get out. "Even though I didn't drive I still have to be chivalrous, so I'll open your door and pull out your seat for you if you want, I mean." "Relax I know you're just being nice but be careful it's a thin line your treading," I say with a serious look on my face. His face scrunches up he's worried. I'm kidding you're doing fine relax good I don't want to fuck this up.

The date went well we lost track of time talking and the restaurant closed and kicked us out. We're in my truck on the way back to my mom's house, when we turn on to the street all my family is sitting outside waiting for us. I park and walk up to the house hey guys what's going on". " We were just about to come to look for you said my brother lander why would you come look for me I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself I guess you haven't heard then what haven't I heard there's been an attack on- stop right there mister I told you to keep your trap shut that I would talk to her and the girls tomorrow about this. But momma, -but momma nothing now gets to your room and stay there till I tell you to come out. Ok, but which room the one at my house or yours. The one here, stop acting stupid boy before I pop you.

What's he talking about momma. Nothing baby lets go in the house no I want to know what he was talking about what attacks and why were you worried about me I'm fine what's going on did you just tell me, no I know you didn't so Imma let that slide for now let's go in the house I don't know what provoked me to do what I did next but this is how it went I said no and I meant it what's going on whap next thing I knew it on the ground and my face is on fire. I lid there for a second and then I got pissed, talking full-on rage bling I saw red, and then I felt it the pain the searing pain running through my veins, my bones broke and reformed, and then everything went black.
