Margot's POV

I don't know how but somehow I managed to sleep that night.

Tom and I told Scarlett and Taylor what happened and they got scared but after they saw we were both okay they calmed down.

I woke up because I heard a broken window.

Did you hear it?

-Yes Harley- I said standing and I slowly and silently walked towards the kitchen and grabbed a knife.

Thank God I used to attend classes of auto defense in the past!

I entered the living room and I felt cold: New York nights were always fresh and I was wearing only a t-shirt and shorts.

I heard footsteps behind me and I was about to turn when a hand grabbed my hand that was holding the knife and another one grabbed my neck.

-Let it go- the voice said referring to the knife.

I felt a shiver down my spine, I recognized the voice: it was the man of that morning!
I opened my hand and the knife fell on the ground.

-Good girl- he said.

-Why are you here?- I asked, shaking.

-We didn't have much time to talk this morning- he said -Why don't we sit?-.

He pointed the sofa and I sat there while he stood in front of me.

-What is your name?- he asked.

-You found where I live, I am sure you already know it- I said.

He smiled.

-You are a clever girl- he said -But I want to hear it from you-.

-I'm Margot- I said.

He looks creepy but also interesting

-I love your name- he said -I never met someone with your name-.

-And what is your name? If you know mine I want to know yours- I said.

He smiled and approached me.

-I'm James- he said.

Now he was at my same high; one of his hands touched my hair and he smelled them again.

-I like your smell- he said -Cherry, isn't it?-.

I nodded and I felt a tear falling on my cheek; I was scared, what was he going to do to me?
His hand touched my cheek and he catched the tear, his touch was warm and delicate.

-Shh- he said -You don't have to be scared, if I wanted to hurt you I would have already done it-.

Well that is really reassuring

-Then why do you keep looking for me?- I asked.

-You are interesting- he said -I feel somehow atracted to you-.

Our faces were super close, I could feel his breathe on my skin.

-What do you do to me?- he asked.

I was about to speak when his finger touched my lips.
It was like if my brain stopped working in that moment but it wasn't Harley who took control, it was me.
I put my hands on his shoulders while his were on my hips.
It happened in a second: his lips were on mine and we were kissing.
I jumped a little and he grabbed me, my legs around his body and my hands on his back.

-What are we doing?- I asked.

-Shh- he said -Don't think, just for a night-.

I smiled and we kissed again.
