I took a step back, bauging to see what he’d do next. Halden rolls down the passenger side window anddoes not bother to spare me a glance. “We don’t have all day. Bella.” He says smoothly, tapping hisfingers on the steering wheel He face front, not moving his eyes off the dead road ahead.

I cross my hands over my chest. “I don’t catch rides with strangers.” I voiced out, freezing when hisbrown eyes suddenly fall into mine. I dragged in a sharp breath, shocked that he had rendered meSpeechless with just one look.

He stares at me, studying my features as though looking for something. As though, I was the puzzle hecouldn’t seem to put the pieces together.

“Suit yourself.” His gruff voice came out unbothered as he steps on the gas and drives away, leaving anirritating ching sound in its wake.

My stomach tightens uncomfortably when the truck came to a screeching halt. Then Haiden doessomething even inone confusing, he reverses until he is back beside me

Had he heard me call hun an asshole?

I was tongue-tied, frozen and completely bemused by his actions. Haiden sighs. turning to face me whenhe kills the Engine.” Come on Bella, by this rate we’re both going to be late.”

He has a point. A Very good point.

Still, my pride wouldn’t let me admit that I did in fact needed his ride if I wanted to survive Mr. Boyd’sglare,

Haider looks at me with a lost expression before he rolls his bottom lip between his teeth and bites downon it to hold in hils chuckles. “Are you serious right now?

I raise a brow. Standing on my tiptoes to look a little more intimidating “Du I mot Se’m serious to you?”

His Eyes quickly fall to my thighs and back to my face. “No. But you do look cute trying to act tough.Word of advice princess, tiptoeing won’t get you anywhere other than a ballet recital.”

My jaw ticks as heat travel from my neckt O settle on my cheeks. I hated that his words made me blush. Ican’t remember the last time I did.

What seemed to even be more confusing Was that, Haiden was intentionally

This would be my chance to ask him about what transpired between him and Gwen in the cafeteria.

“So are you going to get in or should I just leave you to fry in the sun alone? His thick dark brow raiseand by the tip of his mouth barely stopping from lifting. I knew he was on the verge of Laughing

I pressed my lips together and looked around to make it seem as though I had ni o choice and sighed inexaggeration.” Fine.”

I walked to the truck, opened the door and fixed myself on the seat while closing the door. I scrunch mynose while placing my bag on my lap. Haiden chuckles, the sound so pleasant it had me gripping the bagunknowingly

My hands were stiff, my bottom barely wanting to relax to sink into the dark leather seat. Being this closeto Haiden was nerve-wracking and I didn’t know why.

Maybe it was because Haiden lived up to his reputation. Which meant his every move was calculatedand most likely a red

Should I fetch my pepper spray in my bag?” I asked while my fingers crawl to the zipper. Of course I wasjoking and I was sure he could detect it in my voice by the amused curve of his lips.

It was so strange to see him smile even for a second. What was even more strange was that Haiden andI were joking. Haiden Cross never jokes.
