CHAPTER 9

Allison's POV

Have you felt crazy thinking about a jerk?

One week had passed since the last time I talked to Harley. For one week, he did not even show himself on me. I didn't know how he did it but after the rooftop scene, I did not hear anything from him.

I quickly followed Harley downstairs after he walked out to the rooftop.

"Harley!" I called but he did not respond.

"Hey! Harley! Wait! Let's talk!" I called out again but he did not even give a glance until we both reached the first floor.

"Allison," I heard a voice that called me. I stopped and turned my back on it. 

"Levi," I uttered when I realized that I had a visitor for today and its Levi.

I took a look on Harley who was also looking at us. He quickly turned and eventually walked away from us.

"Levi! It's nice to see you again," I said as I turned my eyes again on him and invited him in the visiting area.

"Who's that man? Why are you calling him?" He curiously asked.

I looked away. "He is Harley. One of the jail persons here."

"I know, Ali. My question is why are you calling him? Are you close to him?" He questioned as he sat down on the chair.

I also sat down and grinned. "He's a new friend, Levi."

His eyes widened. "A friend?! He's a criminal, Ali!"

I rolled my eyes. "Oh c'mon, Levi! If he's a criminal, I would not allow myself to become his friend! Don't you think of that?"

"Fine! If that's what you want!" Then he scratched his head. 

"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like that, Levi? Wait… Are you jealous?" I asked, raising my eyebrow on him. He seemed in a bad mood since he came. 

"Of course not! Why would I be jealous?! I'm only worried about you, Ali," he answered.

After the day that Levi visited me in jail, Harley was not talking to me anymore. What the hell was wrong with that man?!

Now, all the inmates were here on the second floor again. Harley was on the side and he was writing again in his notebook.

I went beside him and sat down in front of him.

"Harley!" I called then his eyes looked at me.

Few seconds later, his gaze went back to his notebook. 

"Harley! Why are you not talking to me? Are you mad?" I suddenly asked. What the hell, Allison! Why did you suddenly ask that question?! 

"No," he simply answered while he's still not looking at me. 

"Are you sure?" I added.

He nodded. "I just realized that you're not worth my time."

I shrugged my shoulder and my jaw dropped again on what he said. His words hitted me again.

I cleared my throat and said, "Okay! I'm sorry for being rude with you. I'm not going to be mad anymore."

He simply smiled. "You don't need to say sorry, Allison. Besides, I'm already leaving this jail today."

My eyebrow raised with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

"My case was already dismissed. This is my last day in prison," he stated. I felt a sudden heart ache in my chest. What's wrong with me?

"What about me? I don't know someone here except from you."

He chuckled. "I thought you're not afraid of everything, right? You don't need someone, right?"

I looked down. This man was really abusive with his words. Every word he said was really affecting myself.

I didn't give a word after he said it. I remained silent while looking at the other inmates. After a few minutes, he gave his notebook. Confusion showed on my face.

"What is this?" I asked. 

"That's my journal," he answered.

"Why are you giving me your journal? This is yours," I said while turning it back on him.

His dazzling gaze was focused on me again. "If we have a chance to meet again in the outside world, you will be back at me to give it after you read it but…"

"But?"

"But if we did not meet again, then that's all yours. Do whatever you want with the notebook," he stated.

"Are you serious?" I hesitantly asked. Journal was kind of privacy and I could not accept it.

He nodded. "You could not change my mind, Allison. If fate brings us together again, then I assure you that you will be mine forever."

My jaw dropped once again. My heart was also pounding. I couldn't say a word. I was only holding the notebook without looking at him. 

Few seconds later, I was about to say a word to him but the police officer called me.

"Allison Cruz, you have a visitor."

I turned my eyes on him. He gave me a fake smile.

"I'll see you later before I go," he simply said. Then I walked and went downstairs with the notebook in my hand. 

When I reached the visiting area, I saw Boss Rom waiting for me. I sat in front of him. 

"Boss."

"Allison, how are you?" He asked. 

"I'm good, Boss. How's my case? What about the lawyer?" I asked in rush.

"Calm down, Ali. We already filed a dismissal in your case. And guess what?"

"What is it? C'mon, Boss. Spill it," I demanded then he chuckled.

"Your case was dismissed! You still have a few days to stay here," he stated. The hell! That's great! 

I grinned. "That's good news, Boss. Thank you so much."

"No problem, Ali," he simply responded.

"Where's Levi? He did not visit me yesterday." I curiously asked.

"He's on a new mission," he answered, then I nodded. 

Honestly, I missed being on a mission. The smell of the gun and the countless bullets on it was waiting for me. For a week of being here, it felt like a living hell with a man who made it complicated.

"By the way, I still have news for you," Boss Rom said again.

"Go on. Spill it all, Boss," I simply replied.

"I've found out that you have a twin sibling."

"What?!" I exclaimed with the wide opened mouth and widened eyes on my face. How come I did not know?!

"Yes. I did not tell anybody aside from you. She was applying in the association. What do I need to do?" He asked. 

My mind could not process this revelation. Questions were occupying my mind. Who was she? What about our parents? Why did she not show up before?

"Ali!" I slightly jumped on my chair when Boss Rom called out.

"How did she know the association?"

"She said she was also finding you," he answered.

I grinned. "Hire her when I came back to the association," I only said. 

"Alright. I'll go ahead." 

I simply nodded then he went out of the visiting area. What the hell was happening in my life?!

I took a deep breath and went back to my prison cell. I just realized that I'm still holding the notebook of Harley when I reached inside the cell.

I put it on the bed then I loosen up my tied hair. I laid down on the bed and thinked about my twin sister. I tried to remember her in my memories but my head was aching with the thoughts that I was thinking. What should I do when I meet her?

After a few minutes, I brushed my hair frustratedly then I held the notebook beside me and read what was written on it.

When I was about to open it, Harley showed up outside the cell with the police officer beside him.

"Allison, come on!" He ordered. I quickly stood up and went out after the police unlocked the cell.

He grabbed my hands with all his force as we stepped up on the stairs. "Wait! I'm hurting."

"Oh. I'm sorry." Then he loosen up his hand then we went up again. 

He brought me to the rooftop. He let go his hands after we reached the center.

"I thought you're leaving," I stated.

"Yeah. That's why I'm rushing. My lawyer was waiting for me downstairs. I just ask for a few minutes to see you," he explained.

I grinned. "Are you gonna say something?"

"No. I almost forgot to do something important," he said then his dazzling gaze was occupying my head and his smile was genuinely shown on his face.

I raised my eyebrows as I tried to control the fast beating of my heart. "What is it?" I asked then he moved closer to my place and grabbed my back using his arm. 

His body had already touched my body. My heart was still pounding with the widened eyes on my face. The sound of our heartbeats occupied the area. His dazzling eyes were focusing on my eyes.

It felt like the moment stopped for the meantime. I looked at him as he slowly moved his face towards my face.

"I forgot to give my goodbye kiss," he whispered then he finally touched his lips towards mine.

I quickly closed my eyes and felt the softness of his lips. It felt like I was dragging in heaven. 

After a few seconds, he let go his lips on mine. 

I am still not blinking after I opened my eyes. 

The hell! I was about to respond with his kiss! What?! Are you crazy, Allison?!

I heard him chuckled. "Good bye, Allison. See you soon," he whispered on my ear with the teasing smile on his face.

He walked out from the rooftop again while I'm still in the moment of recovery.

Did he leave me like this? The hell!
