chapter five || harley quinn is my spirit animal

The sound of a door slamming shut woke me up from my deep slumber. Rolling over, I slowly opened my eyes and groaned.

I have always been a light sleeper and I hated it! It made it so much harder for me to sleep in because I woke up from the smallest movements or sounds.

Sitting up, I checked my phone on the bedside table, for the time. It read, 5:05am.

"Ugh," I moaned, falling back onto my bed.

Who the fluff balls is even awake at such a painful time? They must not be human.

Shoving my face into my pillow, I snuggle further into my sheets and prayed that I would fall back asleep. Soon, I felt myself drifting back to sleep. That was until another door decided to slam.

I look over at Hayley and noticed that she was still asleep, with her Mike Wazowski sleeping mask on. Growling, I threw the blankets off me and stormed over to the door. Yanking the door open, there stood a sheepish Jayden, looking as good as ever. He wasn't in his sleepwear but he was wearing black fitted jeans and a white sweater. His mop of brown hair, was covered with a white, knitted beanie and he looked as sexy as ever.

Why was he here? And why so damn early?

"Sorry, did I wake you?" He questioned, rubbing the back of his neck.

My eyes narrowed at his question.

"No, I was already up summoning a demon," I stated dryly, placing my hands on my hips.

He cocked his head to the side and a small smile graced his handsome face.

"Go change," he said, walking passed me and into my room.

Closing the door and locking it, I followed behind him silently and glared at his muscular back. Who does he think he is? Waltzing in here and demanding I get changed? Not happening, I'm going back to sleep, booboo.

"Why would I do that?"

He sat down on the edge of my bed and sent me a grin.

"Because, we're going out and as much as I love your pyjamas, they just won't do," he smirked, raking his eyes down my body.

Looking down at my pyjamas, I giggle at the image of me going in public like this. I was wearing my pyjamas which consisted of a tight fitting tank top and long baggy pants, which were both covered by cartoon hulks. On my feet were my red-striped, reindeer socks.

Looking back up at him, I caught him staring at me with a cute, little smile on his face.

"I'll get changed if you tell me why I have to get change," I stubbornly replied, stomping my foot and crossing my arms across my chest.

Jayden pushed himself off the bed and stalked towards me in long, quick strides. He stopped once he was right in front of me and he stood so close, I could feel his body heat radiating off him. Sucking in a breath, my eyes widened and I fidgeted on my feet uneasily.

"W-what are y-you doing, dude?" I asked nervously, looking up at him to meet his gaze.

He brought his lips down to my ear and his hot breath was fanning the side of my face. I pursed my lips to prevent me from saying anything stupid.

"Get changed," he commanded in a whisper and took a step back.

I rapidly nodded my head and grabbed a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a baby pink sweater, with 'Pink' written in the corner. I ran to the bathroom and quickly washed my face, did my business and got changed. I threw a black scarf on and tied my hair up in a high, messy bun, that looked like crap, and skipped out of the bathroom. Quickly slipping into my black adidas shoes, next to my bed, I grabbed my phone and my purse.

"I'm ready," I grinned, bouncing on the balls of my feet.

Jayden looked up from his phone and quickly raked his eyes up and down my body. With a nod, he pocketed his phone and stood up.

"Let's go," he said and headed for the door.

"Wait!"

I quickly ran into the mini kitchen and grabbed a pen and paper. I wrote Hayley a little note, explaining I was out. I stuck it on the fridge and walked back to the main room, where Jayden was waiting.

Quickly sneaking a glance at Hayley, I noticed she was still asleep. Turning back to Jayden, I grinned.

"Okay, let's go on an adventure!"

❋❊❋❊❋❊

"Are we there yet?" I questioned.

Jayden simply shook his head and continued walking. I followed behind him silently with furrowed eyebrows.

He wouldn't tell me where we were going and every time I asked, he would change the subject. I don't like walking this early in the morning in weather that feels like I live in an ice-cube.

I shivered and buried my cold nose into my scarf. I stopped walking abruptly, making Jayden also stop. He turned around and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Jayden, please tell me," I pleaded wrapping my small hands around his muscular arm.

"No," he simply said. He wrapped his large, warm hand around my two smaller ones and gently removed them from his arm.

Huffing, I stomped away from him with a small pout on my lips.

"Patience, Angel. All in good time," he cooed, wrapping his tanned arm around my shoulder.

Sucking in a breath at the sudden contact, I kept my gaze on my feet.

"You're too adorable," he laughed, squeezing me closer to him. My face was flush against his chest and my cheeks heated up at the close contact. Unconsciously, I snuggled further into his grip, absorbing his body heat.

We continued our walk in complete silence, until my stupid mouth had to open.

"Did you know tampons were created by men?"

Jayden looked down at me, clearly amused. I shied away from his heated gaze, shoving my face in the crook of his arm. My cheeks flushed and a nervous giggle escaped me.

"No, I didn't," he mused. "Thanks for the fun fact though, Angel."

Releasing my death grip on his arm, I beamed up at him in response.

He smiled down at me softly and tucked a piece of loose hair behind my ear.

"Come on, Angel," he said, pulling away from me and walking forward, with me following closely behind.

"Oh! Are we there yet?"

❋❊❋❊❋❊

"No way!"

"Yes way," he smirked, handing me the piece of paper.

"No, no. This is a joke," I said, in clear shock and denial.

"Not a joke, my Angel. This is real," Jayden insisted.

"I'm really climbing the Eiffel Tower?" I asked excitedly, waving the ticket in my hand.

"Yes, Angel," he laughed.

"You bought me a ticket to climb the tower?"

"Of course, I saw you eyeing the tower yesterday and thought that you would like to climb the tower with me," he smiled. "Scott is scared of heights, so he wouldn't come and Hayley would kill me if I woke her up this early."

Jayden's lovely surprise was a ticket to climb the Eiffel Tower. He had bought two tickets, for the both of us to climb and got us early morning tickets so we could see the sunrise. To say I was excited was an understatement.

I looked up at the large tower and down to the ticket in my hand. I was actually doing this!

I beamed up at him and launched myself at him. He staggered back in surprise, yet still managed to catch me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. His strong arms wound around my waist and hugged me closer to him. Snuggling my face into the crook of his neck, he rested his head on top of mine.

"Thank you," I whispered. "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, Angel," he replied softly.

"The first thing I can tick off my bucket list," I mumbled against his heated skin. He chuckled in reply, squeezing me tighter against him.

Lifting my face from his neck, I smiled down at him before pressing a small kiss to his cheek. I slid down his body and straightened out my sweater. I looked back up at him to notice a small blush gracing his cheeks and his eyes wide. Smiling, I grabbed my ticket from my pocket and looked at the tower.

"Look out world, here I come," I shouted, waving my hands in the air.

Jayden looked down at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"You sound like that hot chick from that movie. The crazy one with coloured hair," he stated thoughtfully.

"Mhm," I nodded. "Harley Quinn is my spirit animal."

"For some odd reason, I don't doubt that," he muttered, shaking his head.

Sending him a toothy grin, I ran towards the tower. I heard Jayden let out a sigh, before following behind me quietly.

"You are like hyperactive toddler on a sugar rush," he stated with a shake of his head.

Ignoring him, I continued walking. Once we were right in front of the tower, there was a large, red sign that read, 'climbers this way' and an arrow pointing to the left.

Following the arrow, it took a couple of minutes before I ended up in a reception. I looked around and noticed many portraits framing the walls, of famous people standing at the top of the tower. Oh my gosh, is that Lady Gaga?

"Hello," a voice greeted.

Jumping in surprise, I turned around and faced a young, skinny man. He was wearing a name tag which read 'Benji' and he was in a jumpsuit of some sorts. He was also very good looking with beach blonde, almost white, hair and bright blue eyes.

"Hi," I replied shyly, looking down at my feet.

"Angel, there you are."

I looked up from my feet and noticed a panting Jayden behind me.

"Don't run off next time," he gently scolded.

I nodded slowly and sent him an apologetic smile.

He smile back and wrapped his arm around my waist. He looked up and noticed Benji standing there, who was fidgeting on his feet.

"Who's this?" He faced me and asked.

I opened my mouth to reply but was cut off by the man himself.

"I'm Benji. Are you Jayden?" He asked politely.

Jayden furrowed his eyebrows before nodding his head.

"Well, as I said, I'm Benji and I'll be your guide during the climb," he smiled before walking towards the large desk.

I beamed at Benji and looked back at Jayden.

"Let's go, Jay!" I squealed, grabbing his hand and dragging him in the direction of Benji.

❋❊❋❊❋❊

"Oh my gosh! Look how high we are, Jayden! Look!"

After countless hours of training, reading through information and practicing, we were finally allowed to climb the tower. Benji had buckled us in harnesses and attached us to a rope. We connected the end of our rope to a rope that led us up the tower.

Many, many stairs later, we finally reached the top.

"I know, Angel," he laughed.

I'm actually glad I woke up early because the view is amazing. The sun was just rising and sat low in the sky, which was covered by pink and orange clouds.

"Okay, would you guys like a photo?" Benji asked, flashing us his camera.

I looked up at Jayden in question, who just nodded in reply.

"Okay, move back a bit," Beji said with a wave of his hand.

Jayden wrapped his arm around my shoulder and squished me to his side. I wrapped my arm around his waist and snuggled into his warm embrace.

"Smile."

A large smile took over my face and a click was heard and a flash went off.

I rushed towards Benji, who held the camera out in front of him, and checked the photo. It was so cute, both Jayden and I had large smiles on our faces and we looked like a happy couple. Even though we weren't.

"We'll take two copies once we get down the the office," Jayden stated with a smile.

I looked up at him with a grin.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Angel," he smirked. "The first thing completed on your bucket list was done with me. That's a bonus."

I giggled and shook my head at him.

I was happy. I did it. I finally got to climb the tower.
