Description
I spun around to face the brooding figure next to me. "Harry, put your arm around me." One of his eyebrows raised so high on his forehead I thought it might get lost in his hairline. He of course, remained silent. "Just play along for a few seconds. I'm not going to hurt you and I'll be indebted to you. Maybe I won't even ask you any questions the rest of the night!" I tried to bargain with him. He was still not moving. "Harry," I started, cautious of what my plan was. "I need your help, and I promise to not ask you any questions and will be on my best behavior and not try to annoy you for the next 24 hours." He didn't look at me but I thought I saw the corner of his mouth twitch up. I took that as a sign of agreement and followed through with my plan before I lost any steam. My hand promptly went to his cheek, moving his head so we were face to face. Without pausing to think or even spare a second for eye contact, I crashed my lips to his, feeling his soft lips instantly freeze against my own. I silently urged him to relax as I moved our lips together, hoping he didn't freak out. I wondered what Harry freaking out would look like. ***** Bea has known she was going to take over her father's position as leader of one of the top gangs in her city since she was old enough to hold a gun.
