CHAPTER FIFTEEN
No no no Mr Harlow you can’t do this
Mr Harlow stay with me
No don’t close your eyes
Mr Harlow Mr Harl –
Pain resonated from my butt as I landed on the floor with a big thud
Awwww … that hurts like a bitch
“ Good morning sunshine “ I suddenly heard a thick familiar voice
I opened my eyes and saw Mr Harlow standing right above me .
“ it’s Eight in the morning “ he said
Eight? Wow I must have slept off on the couch .
“ oh I –“
“ it’s ok , you should go home now” he said
“ No , I can’t leave you here “ I said
“ Wow , someone is sounding needy … Are you falling for me already ?” he asked playfully
Dumbass …
I stood up from the floor and dusted my clothes .
“ is that why you kept calling my name in your dream ? “ he asked
“ oh my God “ I screamed
I must have called his name out loud
“ Tell me what kind of dream was it ? I have a feeling it’s rated 18+” he said smiling wildly
Wow he must be a morning person .
“ No I’m not a morning person “ he said
Oh shit !
“ Did I say that out loud ?” I asked
“ Yes Miss Paley , you did “ he said smiling harder
Whatever
“ You should go home “ he said again getting more serious
“ I told you I can’t leave you here alone “ I said
“ I’m not a kid “
“ Ok then I’ll leave when any of your family member comes around “ I said
I’m sure a member of his family should come today .
“ Well then you’re probably not leaving till I get discharged then “ he said
“ Why ?” I asked
“ Nobody will come , Dad is in Cuba having the time of his life and Kylie is probably somewhere on earth “ he said
“ oh …” I said
“ You can go freshen up at home and come back later , how about that ?” he asked
“ That is actually not a bad idea , I probably look like shit now “ I said and he laughed
“ No you don’t “ he replied looking straight into my eyes , I quickly looked away from his piercing gaze before things got awkward .
“ ok I’ll see you soon “ I said walking out of the room
.
.
.
I rushed home and did my morning business , after that I got dressed in a crop top and leather pants with white Jordans , I grabbed an apple in the fridge and made my way to the hospital but then it hit me .
Maybe I should prepare a meal for him because hospital meals can be very shitty .
But what does he like ?
I don’t even know if he’s Vegan or not …After much contemplating I decided not to cook , I just grabbed a medium bowl of ice cream on my way for him with chocolate cream fingers .
The elevator doors opened immediately I got to the Fourteenth floor , I walked up to ward two and saw a lot of scary looking men in suit standing by the door .
Wow , for a moment I wanted to go back but I decided to put on my big boy’s pant .
“ Hi “ I said to the scariest one at the door
“ Miss Paley ?” he asked
“ Yes I am “ I said and he moved out of the way so I could enter .
“ Thank you “ I said as I opened the door
I entered into the room and the first thing that caught my eye was a shirtless Mr Harlow ,. I’ve never believed that a person can look like a snack but right now Mr Harlow looks like the sweetest snack on earth .
No matter how hard I tried my eyes couldn’t look away from his abs , his six packs was on full display causing some weird sensation in my stomach .
Ok I should look away now before he –
“ Take a picture Miss Paley , it lasts longer “
Oh shoot ! He caught me
“ Nice to see you too , Mr Harlow “ I said
“ When you said you were coming back soon I didn’t know you took it so serious , it been just an hour “ he said
“ What can I say Mr Harlow , I just can’t say away after you collected the bullet that was meant for me “ I said and he smiled .
“ The cops found your car “ he said while struggling to put a shirt on , his wounded arm was stopping him .
“ be careful “ I warned
He kept trying to wear it but he couldn’t .
“ can I ?” I asked offering to help him out in the shirt
“ Of course “ he said
I walked up to him and gently lifted his arms up so he could wear the shirt , he winced a little when I touched his wounded arm .
“ sorry “ I said as I tried to pull the shirt down , my face was incredibly close to his collar bone which gave me a clearer view of the tatoo on his neck , I tried to read it but it was a Spanish word , this is what I get for sleeping in those Spanish classes in high school .
“ There , all done “ I said
“ Thank you “
“ You were saying something about my car “ I said
“ Yeah , I said the cops Found it in Annie’s compound , your purse and other belongings has been retrieved they’ll be sent to your apartment so you can verify if anything is missing “ he said
“ wow , thank you so much “ I said
“ You’re welcome , oh and the dent on your car has been fixed “
“ wow , I was gone for only an hour and you already did all that ?” I asked
“ My secretary did “ he said
Oh …
Then an awkward silence descended .
“ so what’s that ?” he asked breaking the silence
“ oh this “ I raised the bag in my hand , I had forgotten to give him the snacks I bought , I hope the ice cream is still Frozen .
“ I bought this on my way “ I said giving it to him
“ oh you got it for me ?” he asked
“ Yeah “
“ oh My God , Miss Paley how did you know I loved Chocolate cream fingers ? And this exact one … it’s my favorite “ He said happily like a child
Wow , who knew the ever serious Mr Harlow could be so playful .
“ It’s mine too “ I said
“ Wow , I think we are going to get along pretty well “ he said and I smiled
“ Want some ?” he asked offering me a spoon
“ Umm no thanks “ I said
“ why ? You don’t like sweets ?” he asked
“ No I’m a sucker for sweets “ I said
“ So what ?”
“ The spoon … y-you’ve put it i-in your mouth “ I said and he started laughing .
What’s funny ?
“ Miss Paley you’ve got to be the funniest person alive “ he said
“ Why ?” I asked
“ Thousands of ladies will die to use the spoon I used “ He said
“ I can’t just share a spoon with you … I don’t know if you brushed and all … “ I said and he laughed again then he suddenly brought his face closer to mine , his breath mixed with mine and his expensive cologne filled my nose trills .
“ Miss Paley any lady would kill to be my secretary , why are you refusing ?” he asked and immediately the weird sensation in my stomach started again
Ok Laura say something
Anything ….
“ That’s a shame … too bad I’m not just any lady “ I said back and he smiled
“ No you’re not “ he said moving his face abnormally closer to mine
Ok this is getting weirder
“ Miss Paley ?” he called
“ Y-yeah “ I answered
“ Be my secretary ?”
