CHAPTER 13
Harley's POV
"Harley?!" The woman who I was hitted with the hose called out
I turned my eyes on her. Widened eyes formed on my face.
"Allison?!" The heck! Her eyes narrowed and looked at me with the question look.
"What are you doing here?!" I asked in shock.
"What the hell are you talking about?! I was the one who needed to ask you that freakin' question!" She exclaimed, raising her eyebrow.
Meanwhile, Miss Shane and Mr. Jack came over to our place with confusion on their faces.
"Allison! What happened?" Miss Shane asked then she looked at Allison from top to bottom.
"OMG! What happened to you?!"
Allison made a grin. "It's nothing, Mom! He just accidentally showered my body with the hose."
I looked down. "Sorry, Miss Shane. I did not know that she was here," I defended myself.
"Then, why are you here?" She asked in return.
"Wait… did you know each other?" Mr. Jack also asked. I only looked down.
Fate never failed me. With all places, I've never imagined that I would see her again and the most unexpected was that she was the daughter of my employer.
"Yes, Dad. I met him in the association," Allison answered.
I raised my eyebrow in confusion. What did she mean about association? I gave her a question look and she gave me a small detailed eye look as she warned me with her eyes. I got it.
"Yes, Mr. Jack. I was a former member of the association," I lied.
"Really? That's great!" Mr. Jack responded then he looked at Allison.
"Change your clothes now, Allison," he ordered.
Allison nodded then she turned her eyes again on me. Her eyes are full of questions. She walked with her parents and they all went inside the house.
This is how I started to have a new life
New life for myself. I've been working here as a driver for Mr. Jack and Mrs. Shane since I got out of the prison.
I thought that they did not have a child but unexpectedly I learned accidentally that Allison was their child.
After that, I went into the garage to clean the car that was parked there. Their house was not so big. It was really perfect for them.
Suddenly, I heard Allison from inside then her Mom called me.
"Ma'am Shane, what is it?" I asked as I looked at Ali on the stairs.
"Is the car already clean?" her Mom asked.
"Yes, Ma'am!" I answered and smiled at her.
"Good. Now, drive for Ali. She wants to go to the mall."
"Sure, Ma'am. No problem," I responded and glanced at Ali again. Both of her eyebrows met together and her cheeks turned into red in frustration.
"What?! I can drive on my own, Mom!" She complained.
"No, Ali! Harley will be your driver," her Mom ordered.
Then she rolled her eyes and walked out of the house with disappointment on her face. I quickly followed her in the garage.
As I reached the garage, I opened the gate then quickly entered the car. I used the engine to move it outside the house.
"Where's the key?" Ali asked as she opened the front seat after I parked it outside.
I raised my eyebrow. "Why?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm going to drive. You can sit beside me," she stated.
I chuckled and smirked. "No! I am your driver and you're going to follow my orders. Now, sit at the back," I proclaimed then winked at her.
With the slightly open mouth on her face, she could not still believe what I've said.
"Are you crazy?!" She exclaimed.
I smirked again. "Well, crazy about you," I simply said and winked again.
With all her frustration, she rolled her eyes and quickly went at the backseat. I just chuckled and started to drive.
Few minutes later, I played music inside the car and glanced at her. She was still in frustration because her hands were crossed over her chest.
I simply smiled and shook my head. "Where are you going, Ali?"
"In the mall," she lazily answered.
"What are you going to do then?" I asked in return.
She grinned. "It's none of your business."
"You're my business, Allison," I stated and gave her a teasing smile.
She simply looked away from my gaze and tried to hide her smile. "Just drive, Harley."
I chuckled. "By the way, why did you hide that we met in the jail?" I asked in curiosity.
"They did not know that I was put in jail."
"Then why didn't you tell them?" I asked again. She was lucky enough because she still had her family. What about me? I only lived alone now.
"I don't want them to worry about me," she answered and focused her eyes on the road.
"Why? They are your parents. They are supposed to know what happened to you. Parents will always be the one who is there for us."
"They are not my real parents. I'm just adopted," she stated. I stopped for a moment.
I thought Ali was a real daughter because I could see on the face of Ma'am Shane the real love and care for her daughter.
"I did not know. I'm sorry," I apologized and focused on driving.
We both remained silent until we reached the mall. More than thirty minutes of driving when we already parked the car inside the parking lot of the mall.
We're still not talking with each other not until she went out of the car.
"Are you going to stay here?" She asked while she was tying the laces of her rubber shoes.
"Nope. I'll come with you," I answered and I locked the car.
She simply nodded as she stood up and walked towards the entrance of the mall. I followed her and walked beside her.
After the security guard checked us, she quickly went into the bakery stall. She ordered a mini chocolate cake and sat on the chair with the table in front.
"Do you like chocolate cake?" I asked as I sat down on the chair in front of her. She looked at me and smiled. "Yhup! I and Ashley used to eat here after we finished a mission."
"Really?" I asked in amusement.
I never thought that my sister liked a chocolate cake. I think they really had lots of experiences together as best friends.
She nodded on me. "Don't worry. I also ordered for you. I just want to relax here because it's been more than a month since the last time I went here," she stated.
Few minutes later, her order already came. Two pieces of mini chocolate cake. Before I tasted the cake, I saw the contentment on her face as she ate the first bite of the cake. Her eyes were sparkling in sweetness.
I shook my head and genuinely smiled. The other side of her was eventually shown on her. I looked at my food and ate it.
"So, how would you become a driver for my parents?" She asked before she put the last piece of the chocolate cake in her mouth.
I curled my lips into a grin. "Well, my lawyer has already found a job for me after I got out of the prison and luckily I was assigned to your house," I answered.
She simply nodded. "See how small the world is. We've met again unexpectedly," she stated then formed a grin on her face.
I stared at her. She was sparkling in my eyes then I saw a chocolate on the side of her lips. I unexpectedly lifted up my hand and slowly wiped it.
I focused my eyes on her lips after I felt the softness of it. I remembered how I owned her lips when we're still in jail. It was the most unforgettable moment that I've experienced in jail.
I quickly removed my hand when I realized what I did.
"You had chocolate on your face," I mumbled and looked away.
She only remained silent until we finished our food. After that, we only walked around the mall. Spent our time together without talking with each other.
I cleared my throat and caught her attention. "Ali, what kind of work do you have in the association that you're talking about?" I suddenly asked because the eagerness on my body was blooming since my sister was also involved.
She turned her eyes on me then walked again. "We're doing such law enforcement without the concern of the government. Our mission is to get the money of the wealthy people who have illegal transactions," she explained.
"Is it not dangerous for you?" I asked again.
"Nope. We were trained using firearms to protect ourselves," she responded.
"But it's still the same. You are a woman. You should be protected by someone not only by yourself," I stated.
"I can handle myself. Sometimes, being independent on your own makes you realize that you don't need someone to protect you."
I chuckled and smirked. "Admit it or not. There will be times that you'll be needing someone like me." Then I winked at her.
She shook her head and curled her lips into a smile. "Just do what you want."
I simply laughed with her reaction. Minutes later, we both continued to walk around the mall. Meanwhile, she turned around and faced me.
I looked at her with the question look on my face. "You want to go home already?" I asked.
She shook her head and stared at me. "I want to visit Ashley's grave."
That's what I wanted to do since I got back to the outside world. I just didn't know where to visit my sister. Thanks to this girl I would be seeing her grave.
"Sure. Let's go?" I asked then she nodded.
And we both moved our feet going outside of the mall.
