The Bad Boy Odyssey Chapter 17
Holden's POVI woke up on the beach next to a beautiful girl. She slept silently beside me. Her body rose and fell and I covered her with the other half of the beach towel and sat on the sand.I had to tell her she wasn't my type. If I told her I was attracted to her I didn't know how she would react. Good or bad reaction I felt it would have a negative end result.If I told her how I felt she would like me and I'd want to kiss her and touch her. I didn't want to break her heart. I denied myself her because I wasn't going to be that big of an asshole and destroy her.If her reaction was negative and she felt creeped out by it she would never want to see me again.She was a good girl and I was not the guy she needed in her life. Jessie's little brother would do for her. But she needed an adventure and that little shit taking her to a motorcycle race then to a dumb party afterward— with predators lurking was idiotic.If I couldn't have her it didn't mean I couldn't give her memories. I c

I looked at Holden and he looked like he was concentrating hard. His knuckles were red. "Do you have a first aid kit?" I asked, as he tried to maneuver the car through traffic. "In my cubby. Why did you cut yourself?" He asked and I moved to get the first aid kit. I took his hand and he looked at me. "I'm fine you don't have to," I didn't listen to him as I rubbed an ointment for cuts and bruises over his knuckles. He flinched at the sudden burn and I blew on his knuckles. I looked up at him and he was watching me work. I wrapped the bandage around his knuckles and made a small knot. "Bambi, you didn't have to do that. It would have been okay." "Well you were protecting my honor yet again and it was the least I could." "I'd punch anyone for you," he said causing me to smile. "Good to know." He had a goofy grin on his face as he made a turn and I noticed we were going to his apartment. "An adventure in your apartment. Great, what will I be doing?" He smirked devilishly at me. "I

After classes, every day I cooked for Holden and Mason. I thought I would be in for torture working for Holden but it was better than working for Giovanni.No rich men were hitting on me. No indecisive customers and I didn't get treated like a servant. Mason usually kept me company when Holden worked in his room.I dried my hands with a dish towel. Holden was sitting down at the kitchen island finishing his dinner. "I guess if that's everything I'll be on my way out.""Hot date?" He asked."Not a date per se but Jett asked me to go to that motorcycle event with him."Holden smirked, taking a sip from his glass. "So a date. Good for you, Bambi."He moved to place his plate in the dishwasher."It's not a date," I said, "not that it is any of your business that Jett and I decided to be friends —until I'm done helping you with your family."Holden's grin was saying he had more to say. "What?" I asked."I don't know, Bambi, what if this lie never ends and we have to get married.""I'm not m

After the weekend I had it was hard to concentrate on lectures. I found myself slipping easily into a daydream. I tried to concentrate but since I didn't read any of the assigned chapters it was easier to stare at the lecturer and act like I knew what they were saying, meanwhile I was in a galaxy far far away.After the last lecture of the day, Jett drove me home. It wasn't even hard to concentrate on what he said most of the time. My mind was just not my own for the day."Are you okay?" Jett asked. It was half an hour till three and I had to go to Holden's apartment as per our arrangement.So in laments terms, I was not okay. I was the exact opposite of it and maybe it was the cause of why I had been so distracted most of the day. I was freaked out with a combination of nervousness. Who knew the Pandora's box that awaited me this evening at Holden's apartment.But I had a feeling if I could just get through this week then the rest of my life would fall into a routine. "Emery," Jett c

I got into the car with Holden. His mother and sister wanted to end the evening with a nice lunch and were still deciding on a restaurant. Which left us driving around until they came to a decision."I still think this was a very bad idea. We should have considered how big this lie would actually get." The driving around alone would at least allow me to get some sense in Holden's thick head."Can you relax? Please," he shrugged off my concerns, "everything is fine."How could he be so optimistic?"Holden, how is everything fine?" I looked at him and he kept his eyes fixed on the road."Being a bridesmaid is not that big of a deal.""Maybe to a man," I pointed out, "but for women we choose our closest friends and family to stand beside us on that special day.""You are such a sap, Bambi.""And you don't have one romantic bone in your body. What's your idea of a good time? Buy a girl dinner and then hook up and leave before she wakes up in the morning.""Precisely, no hard feelings," he

"Bambi wake up," Holden said and I cracked an eye open to see him squatting by my bed."It's just a nightmare," I said turning over to face the window. It was a sick nightmare, one I could never run from in the form of Holden Harris.I felt the covers being pulled off me and continued to keep my eyes closed. I was stubborn when I needed to be. Holden whistled. "My my, those shorts look dashing on you," he said and I shot up from bed."Get out," I ordered, grabbing the sheet from him to cover my legs. He laughed and moved towards the door.What was he even doing in my room."Wait," I said and he stopped at the door. "Why are you here?"He turned around to face me, amusement alight his eyes as a smirk covered his perfect jawline. "Oh, Stephanie wanted to go shopping.""And?""Must I spell it out for you, Bambi, you're my girlfriend."I put the pillow over my face. "I want to break up," I muttered.He laughed, pulling the pillow away and smacking me with it. "You are annoying." I covered

I woke up and Holden was gone. I was surprised at how clean his room was left. I trotted my way to the bathroom splashing some cold water on my face. It was sad to say that Holden's chaise was better than the bed I slept on. I walked out of the room to see his sister standing by the oven. "Good morning," she sang. She looked happy another thing I was not expecting for the morning. "Good morning," I said and I felt awkward that it sounded like a question. "I'm sorry about last night. I hope it doesn't give you a bad impression of my family." She pulled out a tray of baked muffins from the oven."It's okay. I understand." She smiled, "how are you feeling though?" "Well, I spoke to my father. He's not happy with the whole being knocked up and not married idea but it's done and there is nothing he can do to change that." I twiddled with my fingers and Stephanie began prepping a lunch bag. "The thing about my brother and I is that we are very close and we have a pact that one cannot r

"I can't believe you doing this," Jett groveled, holding onto my teddy bear. He looked like a child as he sat there pouting about me going to meet Holden's mother.I had explained everything to him, Claire and Sam last night; from me getting fired, to becoming Holden's personal chef— to get some sort of income— and lastly pretending to be his girlfriend.I was surprised at my own words afterward. It seemed like my life flipped upside down in less than three hours."I don't see why you have to be kind to him. He got you fired," Jett pointed out."I'm paying him back for that night he helped me. It's the least I could do since anything could have happened. Besides it's not like working for Robert was fun." "I wish I found you that night instead. Now Holden Harris has his claws into you." Something told me this wasn't just about me. Jett seemed to dislike Holden for some other reason."You don't like him do you?" I looked at Jett to see him fiddle with the teddy bear's arms."He's all J

HoldenI watched her from the corner of my eye, tucked in the passenger's seat, hugging her shirt close to her body and staring out the window. She was uncomfortable and sat to the edge of her seat, farthest away from me. What was I thinking? Of course, she would be uncomfortable. I was horrible to her and on top of everything I got her fired. Mason was right I should have left her alone.But she agreed to help me. That meant she would have to pretend to at least like me. It had been a while since she said anything. She was probably thinking about all the ways this was a bad idea. "So your mother," she spoke breaking the numbing silence that was getting on my nerves. I so badly wanted to know what she thought, "tell me about her and your family." That was bold. I remained silent as I thought of a way to make my life seem all sunshine and rainbows. "I doubt my mother is going to give you a pop quiz on my family history, Bambi." She nodded and turned away again. "Well, it would help

Chapter 1
Emery It was a clear night. The sound of crickets was barely audible due to loud music coming from down the street. Every house on the block was lit up in bright light. People roamed the street happily laughing with their friends and talking loudly. The cab driver swiveled in his seat to look at me. Of course, I knew what that meant and scratched in my pocket pulling out a crumpled ten-dollar bill and a few cents. I handed him the money and stepped out of the car. Everything just got louder and felt much more real. In the car, it was like I was watching through a screen. I was protected by that unhygienic cab interior and exterior. I took in a deep breath. Get it together Em. I moved over to the trunk to get my luggage. It was only university, not a lion's den. I could do this. I could be an adult, even th
