Antonio's POV

A stony-looking guy lowers his head while the window glass goes down slowly to reveal me and Harley who has composed herself.

She doesn't look like someone who was crying minutes ago. Instead, there is a smile on her face and her hand touching my shoulder lightly to showcase the act of being a couple.

I wonder how she switches her mood from being sad to calm within minutes and how she can put what happened minutes ago behind her like it didn't happen.

She scared me. And I thought she was crying because I said something bad. I have never seen her cry that much and it scared me more.

After she muttered a name, I knew she wasn't crying because I asked her out on a date. She is still healing.

She is still trying to act like he never existed, but he did exist. He used to mean a lot to her. She used to mean a lot to him but what changed?

What changed between us? Where is the bond? Is it broken? Where is the lov

He questions the confused man. "This is not Sandra but my wife, Harley Davidson.""Harley?" Xavier mutters again, the confusion intensifying. Antonio nods while I have an innocent look on my face.Silence ensues as he glances at me for a few minutes before staring back at Antonio."Won't you offer us a seat?" Antonio requests, dragging my hand towards a settee."I didn't ask you to sit, you are not welcome here", he shouts as we both flop to the chair."I'm sorry but I really need to talk to you about something….""You and I don't have any business together", he grits his teeth in irritation, cutting Antonio shut.Still maintaining his calm composure, Antonio says. "I think we do. Way back from college and up to this moment. I bet you are curious to know the real reason for my visit."Xavier seeth

I want to make sure that Brandon, Chelsea, and Stanley are out safely with the file. What Harley and I just did will be in vain if the plan didn't work.I still can't find my phone and I turn to see Harley watching me."Looking for something?" She demands with a light smile."My phone", I take my hand out my trousers so I can look for somewhere to park the car and find it.She moves close. "In your pocket?""Yes", I answer her, looking for a spot to park. I need to call them, I can't keep this excitement and curiosity within me."Continue driving, please. We need to get the hell out of here as soon as possible. Let me help you", she dips her hand into my pocket before I can even process what she means and my body stiffens at the touch.She shoves her hand deeper into my pocke

His suit is off already and I have no idea when he pulled it off.He scoops me up in his arms before I know what is happening and I wince."I'm fine, Antonio", I can barely recognize my voice. It is low and weak, making me realize that I am not fine and I am losing a lot of blood.He snarls, ignoring my protest as he rushes in with me in his strong arms. I almost smile because of the look of concern on his face which makes me feel special. But on second thought, I have a feeling it is because I got shot and he feels responsible for it.I got shot while helping him and it is natural for him to be this concerned. I shouldn't attach any extr

His abs are on display and I am trying so hard not to stare too much.Why can't he throw a shirt over his shoulder and wear it to save me from this

    Harley's POVStanding in front of the mirror with my dress concealing my bandaged arm glued firmly to my body, I bite my lips, regretting my loose mouth."Harley!" Chelsea's shrill cry booms into the phone and I close my eyes, taking the phone off my ears for a moment.Sometimes, I regret the fact that I am too open and transparent to people, especially someone like Chelsea.I just told her that I would be going on a date with Antonio. This is something I didn't tell anyone, including Alexis and Ann who are curious to know where I am going.I really do not know why I am doing this. I told Antonio not to let anyone know about this date. It should be a secret date between us both.I just don't know what prompted me to tell Chelsea. Probably because she brought up the topic of the date with Rike again."It is just a friendly date. I promised to go with him just so we could celebrate…""What is between you two?" She questions sharply, sounding like a mother scolding her daughter."What?!"

Unpredictable as well.No matter how hard I try to read through her and study her, it is always in vain. Sometimes, when I think she is unhappy, she laughs heartily, making my assumptions wrong.It makes me question my sense of reasoning and psychology knowledge.I brought up the idea of a date just to make her happy. When she cried after I asked her out on a date, I wanted to change my mind, thinking she isn't ok with it but I realized I wanted it too.I needed to go out too and have a nice time. I also wanted it because Harley needs it.I blamed myself for the injury she sustained the night we got the file back. I went ballistic when she lost consciousness and I thought she was going to die.It was at that moment that I realized she means a lot to me. In the same way, she means a lot to Alexis. My d

I promised to see her yesterday and here I am trying to fulfill that promise.Expelling a sigh and leaning back on the chair, I fold my arms and a white car appears.It turns out to be hers and within minutes, she bursts into the place, with a bright smile on her face.I puff out air, glancing around to see that the weird looks I have been given since I have been sitting here are gone already."Sorry for keeping you waiting", she apologizes before slumping to the chair adjacent to mine."You kept me waiting the other time too", I voice out loudly with a frown on my face."I said I am sorry. So tell me, what is between you and Antonio?"In panic, I almost scream. "I told you already that it is just a friendly date, didn't I?"She falls silent, watching me

This time, I hope Antonio and I will have a quiet time to discuss and talk into the night before coming back home.I don't know why he is super excited about it too but I guess it is because this is going to be our first date alone.

Just this morning, he brought the dress on his way to work, reminding me about the date.It made me smile. And proud. Happy. Lucky.
