JOANNE-
“Let’s see then. If I would really shudder in my pants If you strip naked in front of me… right here right now… let’s see who the real garbage is”
As soon as Hardy uttered those words, my mind was thrown off balance.
It was clear that his intention was quite different.
He completely disregarded my entire rant and decided to focus solely on the words I had just spoken?
He continues to provide plenty of reasons for hating him beyond measure.
Can’t believe I was actually worried about what I said earlier might have hurt him.
How Pathetic.
“You’re unbelievable” I got on my feet.
Looking at Hardy you could see how unalive his eyes looked. Clearly I could already tell no woman would be able to make him shudder in his pants like I have said earlier. It’s looked like it’s been ages since he got excited about anything.
Ugh why did I even rant so much.
“Fine” I didn’t know where it came from but I agreed.
I mean… I’ve got nothing to lose, and not to blame it on my pregnancy hormones. Maybe because I wanted to, and looking back on Trinity’s words…. What if I do want Trinity wants and make Hardy fall in love with me.
“I’ll take off all my clothes, and trust me I know it when men beg for women just with their eyes” I scoffed.
Can’t wait to see the end of this.
“Try me. You’re nothing”
I twitched as Hardy let his words out.
He doesn’t see me as a woman, I’m nothing but trash, I am nothing.
Well we’ll see about that.
Immediately, I started to take off my robe, and with an expressionless look on his face, I watched him watch me.
With my robe off my body. Hardy observed every inch of me with so much Intensity that it made me quiver on the inside.
As his eyes wandered around my breasts, I felt uneasy. But weirdly not in a bad way.
His eyes were still vignetted with that obnoxious gaze of nothingness. Even a child could tell he was feeling nothing.
Okay maybe this was a mistake
I shouldn’t have said that or agreed to anything in the first place, nor should I have owned up to his challenge or whatever I’d call this.
This was stupid.
I pulled the two ends of my dress to cover my body, already feeling defeated but didn’t want to show it.
I looked up at Hardy to see him still staring at my body.
“Got lost?”I teased with a scoff, knowing damn well he didn’t.
“Don’t flatter yourself” He scorned in return.
In an instant, He took a step forward and aggressively yanked open my robe, ripping it too.
“What the hell are you doing ?” I gasped.
He didn’t give me a reply, instead he took the robe completely off my body and tossed it on the bed, leaving me entirely naked.
“What the hell are you doing?”
This time I screamed.
“I was not done looking, so who gave you permission to close up?” His voice sounded vile and serious.
“What are you talking about?” I took a seat on the bed, slowly trying to reach for my robe to cover up again.
“You offered to strip to see if I’ll get turned on and what now. You want to walk out of what you called for?” He scoffed, leaning down.
“That’s because you wouldn’t stop telling me that I am a nobody, and I am sick of that Hardy, but I don’t care now, maybe I am a nobody, let’s just call this off, I was a fool to let you stare at my naked body in the first place” I ranted uncomfortably, trying to balance sitting down and covering up with one hand while I let myself finally grab my robe with my other hand.
Hardy’s hand slammed the robe against the soft bed, preventing me from pulling it close to my side.
“Under my roof. You don’t start what you can’t finish”
He was wearing an obnoxious smug on his face that I wanted to slap so bad.
Glaring at him, He threw a questionable brow up at me.
So he’s not going to let me have my robe.
Fine then.
Whatever this is, I should probably end it and make him go away.
“Fine”
I scoffed with my chin up.
He raised another questionable brow up, but this time with a smirk.
I slowly took my hand off my chest and pushed out my chest.
“Have a look then… Dont cream your pants at the process”
I had no idea where my boldness came from. But I was sure having it at that moment.
Hardy grinned down at my body before letting out a light chuckle that was supposed to make me feel bad at one point. But instead I just scoffed.
“How come I’m not getting turned on Ms. Nobody” He sighed. His lingering gaze still on my breasts.
He sure knows how to bring that wrath out from someone.
“Sure you’ve seen boobies all your life.” I added by taking his hand that had slammed my dress against the bed.
“But it’s been ages since you’ve actually touched one”
Resting his hand gently on my left breast, which he didn’t expect, I watched his pupil dilate.
Looks like I might be able to get him to cream his pants after all.
“What are you trying to pull?” He asked, showing he was not hating what I was doing.
“What does it look like I’m doing ?” I retorted, getting on my feet, but not letting Hardy’s hand leave my boob. “I’m finishing what I started”
He gave my boob a brief glance, before leaving his eyes on my face.
“And you think making my hand touch your breast is going to make me shudder down there?”
“I’ve got nothing to lose Hardy stop pretending” I shook my head, boring my eyes into his.
He is staring at me deeply.
I had no idea what we were doing or staring at each other for, but something was happening and it was one of those unusual, unexpected things.
I got close to him and buried my body entirely into his. Making the distance between his hand and my breast so tight. His chest rumbles a thick chuckle.
“Bold of you” He commented.
“What did you expect”
In a short moment. I threw my hands around Hardy’s neck and threw my legs around his torso after making a mild jump.
Gosh his body felt so rocky, and his height.
Felt like I was on the Eiffel tower.
“You’re going too far”
He warned.
“Are you scared? That you might actually do what you’re not supposed to do down there. Don’t be such a baby” I laughed.
And felt this weird satisfaction when his jaw twitched. And I knew he was mad about that statement.
I spun him around and caused both of us to fall on the bed, but his hand immediately gripped my waist as he gently pulled me away from his body.
“What the hell are you doing? Be fuckin careful you’re pregnant. There’s a fine line between bold and stupid” He spat angrily.
I sat up with him still lying down and looking like I was straddling him.
I scoffed, “I thought you don’t care about me”
“I only care for what’s mine and you have guy in you” He replied.
Garbage.
He can never change.
“You are a real piece of trash Hardy” I cussed
I am so glad I am pregnant, because he wouldn’t be able to, or maybe try to harm me even if he had any intention to and now I can cuss his ass whenever I want to.
And because he deserves it.
“And don’t forget, that you’re just a nobody. Trying to seduce me?” He laughed, “Wake up Joanne. Maybe I can for it, if any woman tries to pin me down. But you? You’re just a tool”
There … He said it again.
I really wanted to shove my tiny hands into thick neck and choke him till he dies, if that’s possible.
I was about to speak when the door suddenly opened and Theodore walked in.
Okay shit.
The three of us paused in unison.
In Theodore’s point of view, with me naked and on top Hardy.
It might look like I am straddling him and we might be enjoying a series of foreplay before sex. If only I could tell him that I was about to choke Hardy to death.
Because his eyes looked like he wanted either nothing more but an explanation or he would start throwing a tantrum.
I immediately covered my body with the bed’s duvet and rolled off Hardy’s body.
Shit.
Hardy sat up.
“You don’t knock?” He scoffed at Theodore.
“I… I was
“You didn’t think, oh, what if she was changing?” Hardy got on his feet, adjusting his shirt.
Somehow I couldn’t meet Theodore’s eyes.
Theodore shook his head, “I’m sorry… it …it didn’t occur me. I’m sorry what were you two doing?”
No freaking way he just asked that.
“What are you doing here Theo?” Hardy clearly ignored his question and asked his instead.
That was rude, but I couldn’t be more glad.
Theodore looked Pained but like I expected, He didn’t care to press the matter since Hardy had sidetracked it.
“You’ve got a call, from Maurice” Theodore cleared his throat, glanced at me… or should I say, glared at me and then walked out, heavily slamming the door.
Shit.
