CHAPTER THIRTY
MR HARLOW : Laura why did you leave last night ? You promised to stay , imagine my surprise when I came back and you were gone .
MR HARLOW : Now I have to take a very cold shower for two frickin hours, if I catch a cold , I’ll make sure you nurse me .
MR HARLOW : Why aren’t you replying my messages ?
MR HARLOW : Laura did something happen ? Did I do something wrong ?
MR HARLOW : Why aren’t you picking your calls ?
MR HARLOW : I just called your friend and she said you fell asleep the moment you came home , did my sister do something ? Or wait did she say something ?
18 missed calls : Mr Harlow
3 missed calls : My Zoey
I went through every single message from Mr Harlow and I couldn’t help but smile , why did I run off yesterday ? I guess why his rude sister said really got to me .
I remember barging into the house angrily yesterday , but why the hell did I run ?
Nick made it obvious from the start that he only wanted a taste , am I getting attached ?
No way , I’m not … I shouldn’t have ran away though , now it seems like I’m into him …. Arrgh ! This is fucked up .
“ Are you ready to talk now ?” I heard Zoey’s voice dragging me out of my thoughts
“ Arrrgh ! I fucked up Zo , I messed up pretty bad “ I said
“ Have this first “ she said handing me a cup of coffee
“ Thanks “I said taking the warm liquid in one gulp
“ Now tell me what happened she said
Then I explained everything to her
“ Apparently he’s not into this whole love and relationship ideas and you know me Zoey , you know I get attached quickly “ I said
“ You’re scared of falling in love with him ?”
“ yes Zoey , Nick is a fuckboy , a certified manwhore , he also made it clear that he was against falling in love so what do I do ?” I asked
“ Ok first things first , Laura Simone Paley , I want the truth and nothing but the truth … Do you have any feelings for Mr Harlow ?” She asked
“ I don’t know Zo but I can’t deny the fact that I’m attracted to him “ I said
“ ok that’s a good start , you both are attracted to each other , now the only barrier is Attachment , you both want to have a taste but you don’t want anything else afterwards “ she said
“ Exactly “
Then she held my hand
“ Babe I know you’ve been hurt pretty in the past and I know for a fact that Nick has been hurt too , but the both of you closing up your feelings for just a taste is not the answer , anyone with eyes can see that what you both have is beyond a simple attraction, you both like each other “ she said
“ Zo I don’t think you’re listening to me , I said Mr Harlow is a playboy , if I grow feelings for him I’ll get hurt in the end “
“ I know Laura but it’s better to put a stop to it right now , if you both decide to get a taste that’s the end , you’ll be trapped in the stupid cage called FEELINGS. Trust me Lau I’ve been there and I know how it feels , so you have to decide now . If you have sex with him then you gotta be prepared for bigger responsibilities, you gotta be ready for love … Laura one taste is all it takes “ she said
“ wow you make it sound scarier than it already is , I don’t know I mean he doesn’t want a relationship , what am I supposed to do ? “
“ at this point it’s all up to you , you have to decide Laura do you want to go out with him or stay away from him ?”She asked
I’ve never been this confused in my life , Obviously Nick just wants to use and dump me like every other lady , it’s weird that I feel hurt whenever I remember that but what’s weirder is the fact I still want to try it out even when I know he will break my heart in the end … I’m still willing to give him a chance .
“ There’s no harm in trying right ? Besides it’s just a one time thing , I’m pretty sure I won’t get emotionally invested “ I said shrugging
“ So you want to give him a chance ?” She asked
“ yes , I’m very certain that after this one taste , I’ll get over him completely besides if he ends up breaking my heart it won’t come as a shock , I’ll be completely prepared for it “ I said and she gave me a tap on the back
“ I’m really proud of you but don’t say I didn’t warn you though “ she said and I nodded in affirmation
“ So what about you ? Who did you hook up with at the party ?” I asked
“ You will not believe the person I saw “
“ who ? A celebrity ? Chris brown ?”
“ Luca “ she said and I gasped in surprise
“ Whoa! I didn’t know he was there , I guess he must have followed Nick . So tell me what happened ? Did you guys talk ?” I asked
“ It was a total disaster Lau ,he didn’t even want to see my face at all , he was super angry … I mean really angry “
“ Wow Luca is a very nice person , I’ve never seen him flare up “ I said
“ I know , he never got angry too back then when we dated … I broke him , I broke the poor boy “ she said tearing up
“ Wow Luca must be feeling proud wherever he is , he’s been the reason behind your tears for two times in a row “ I said and she laughed
I pulled her into my arms
“Its gonna be ok “ I said
I got a message notification on my phone
MR HARLOW : Rise and shine Laura , I hope you slept well , guess who came down with a slight fever this morning . I need you to come to my house and nurse me … RIGHT NOW !
.
.
.
I picked the drugs I got for Nick as I parked my car in front of his house , I grabbed my keys and made my way into the huge house .
My mind wandered off to the ongoing events playing off in my life , when did my life become this ?
I certainly can’t deny the immense attraction I feel towards Nick , he is always on my mind even when I don’t want to think about him , I end up daydreaming about him . He’s dangerously attractive and I can’t deny that fact .
There’s a sexual tension between us , we have to clear it now before it gets too late , I know it sounds so stupid but I’m willing to give Nick a chance and honestly I don’t care if he breaks my heart , what I’m certain about right now is that I want him .
I wanted to knock but I found the door unlocked already so I just headed straight to Nick’s room .
I opened the door and the scene in front of me made me drop the drugs in my hand , a feeling of déjà vu welled up making chills run down my spine.
I watched as Nick pushed her away the moment he set his eyes on me .
Why is this happening again ?
Why me ? Why does she hate me so much?
I knew Nick would break my heart but I didn’t expect it to be this fast , I mean we are not even in a relationship .
“ Laura I can explain , I swear it’s not what you think “ he said walking up to me as I took few steps backwards away from him
Ok Laura calm down , I was such a fool to think Nick actually liked me .
I picked the drug package from the floor
“ There’s nothing to explain Mr Harlow , it’s not like you owe me an explanation”I said
“ Laura are you mad ? I swear it’s not what you think “ he said and I smiled
“ Why should I be mad ? It’s not like we are in a relationship or something , I mean I’m just an ordinary secretary so I’m pretty sure you don’t owe me an explanation “
“ But-“
“ Here I got your drugs , I hope you get well soon , I’ll take my leave now sir “ I said handing him the drug package
“ Laura I swear she just walked up to me , I didn’t know she-“
“ See you on Monday sir “ I said walking off immediately with Nick hot on my trail
“ Laura don’t do this “
“ Do what ?” I asked
“ Don’t leave Laura , I promise I can explain “ he said and I smiled at him
“ I don’t need your explanation Mr Harlow … bye “I said entering my car
