Temptation

Chapter 5

"I'm assuming you already know Abby. And I'm Jeff, this is my beautiful wife Anne." A tall man with jet black hair and dark blue eyes speaks to me.

I nod. "Yeah, we have English class together, I'm Bethany it's very nice to meet you both." I gesture to him and the beautiful woman before me who I am assuming is Harry's mom. I look and smile at Abby who looks extremely happy to be here.

I look over at Harry and he still has an annoyed look on his face when he looks at me. Why does he keep giving me that look?

"Bethany, honey. I'm going to set the table. You can show Abby and Harry your room." My mother tells me.

"Of course, mother." Harry starts to laugh and shakes his head and I don't know why.

"Harry go with Abby and Bethany." Anne orders.

"No! I don't want to."

"Go." She orders again.

Harry shifts off of the couch and walks towards Abby and I.

"After you, princess." He mumbles.

"What?" I look back at him but he doesn't answer.

I walk up the stairs with Abby and Harry behind us. Walking down the long hallway until we get to my bedroom door at the end. I open is ad Abby eyes open wide and her jaw drops.

"You room is bigger than my goddamn house!" She squeals and jumps on my bed.

Harry doesn't come in. He just leans against the door frame looking at me and then back at the floor.

"You can come in if you'd like." I tell him.

Before he can answer Abby interrupts.

"Can I use your bathroom?"

"You'll have to use the one down the hall because mine is being painted right now." I tell her.

"Okay." She gets up and walks out the door and Harry comes in and sits on my desk chair.

"Princess pink?" He asks.

"What?" I'm not sure where he's going with this.

"Princess pink. That's the color your bathroom is going to be painted." He smirks.

"No it's not." I bodly tell him.

He goes through his pocket and pulls something out. My phone.

"Here." He hands it to me. I look up at him and frown.

"Calm down I wasn't going to steal it."

"I wasn't thinking that. Thank you." He nods.

"I'm sorry." I add.

"For what?" He asks.

"For whatever I did to make you be so mean to me." My eyes Begin to water.

"Why do you need me to like you?"

"Then what is it? And why do you always answer my questions with another question?"

"Calm down princess, don't want mummy and daddy to hear you getting upset." I get off of my bed and walk out the door only to meet Abby.

"Are you okay?, what did he do?"
She asks me with a concerned look on her face.

"I'm fine." I fake a smile.

"People don't cry when they're fine." She puts a hand on my shoulder. I didn't even realize I was crying until she told me. My whole body went numb when I was talking to Harry. His tattoos ad piercings make him seem so intimidating and I've never talked to anyone like that before. Nor, walked out on them.

Abby decides to let it go and we make our way downstairs.

The dinner was really awkward. Neither I or Harry talked. I glance over at him but he just looks down at his plate.

"Bethany, how do you like your work area." My father asks.

"I love it, father." I lie.

"Work area?" Jeff asks.

"Well yes, my dear Bethany is studying to be in business for her career after Highschool." My mom tells Jeff.

"That's amazing, Bethany. You're a very smart young lady I'm sure you'll be able to achieve anything you'd like to in life." Anne rubs my back and gives me a warm smile and I smile back and thank her.

"What about you, Harry?" He father asks from across the long marble table.

"Haven't given my future much thought. Whatever happens, happens." He shrugs.

I look at my parents and I know that they already disapprove of Harry's behavior. I knew as soon as he walked in they were probably already thrown off by his appearance.

"Oh," is all my mother could say. Abby tells my parents how she loves ballet and hopes to be a professional and pursue her career as being that.

It makes me upset when I see how proud her parents are of her. And how they support her in anything that she does. She loves ballet, and they love how she's so passionate about what she loves. I wish my parents were like that.

The night ends and I say goodbye to our guests.

"Oh hey!-" Abby speaks up and turns to looks at me before existing the house.

"There's a party on Friday night. Wanna come?" She's inviting me to a party?

"I'll have to ask my parents, but i'd love to come." I tell her and give her a hug goodbye.

Before I go to bed I put on my pajamas and slip under my covers.

My phone busses on my bedside table and I pick it up.

It's a message from Liam.

*Party Friday! You're coming???
-Liam*

*yeah! Abby already told me about it, I'll let you know if I will be attending :) -Bethany*

My phone buzzes right away with a new message from Liam.

*Abby Collins?
-Liam*

*Yes, why gotta crush?
-Bethany* I jokingly respond.

*ha-HA! See you tomorrow,
-Liam* he lock my phone and close my eyes to go into a deep slumber. ?
