《The Heart Wants What It Wants ✔️》Ch. 29
Advertisement
After a while, we made our way back to our room. I took first shower, so right now Jaxon was in there. I didn't know what to do right now. I wasn't ready to sleep just yet. I still had some energy in me.
I laid down staring at the ceiling. I was hoping that I'd fall asleep somehow. Unfortunately, I was still wide awake when Jaxon came out of the shower.
"You're still awake?" He says
"Can't sleep" I groan
"Why?"
"I have absolutely no idea"
He walks over to his bed and lays on his side to face me. I turn to my side to face him as well.
"Are you sleepy?" I ask him
"Incredibly" He gives me a tired smile
"Go to sleep then. I'll probably be up for a while" I tell him
"Nooo. I'm going to keep you company" He says
God...why is he being so sweet?! I don't know if my heart can take all this for a whole week.
"You don't have to. I have my phone to keep me company"
"It will also break your eyes. Although...if you look at me, my good looks may break your eyes as well." He says
"Oh my gosh" I laugh at what he said
"You are so cocky" I say after catching my breath
"I am not cocky! I'm confident." He says
"Yeah.. suurrreee" I roll my eyes
He lets out a loud yawn. I chuckle at him. His eyes were already droopy and looked as if he was about to shut down any moment. He was on the brink of sleeping, yet he was still fighting to stay awake with me.
"Jaxon, go to sleep"
"Jax?" He looks at me in confusion
"What?"
"You called me Jax" He says

"No...I called you Jaxon. Your so sleepy that you can't even hear properly" I chuckle
"Oh...but can you still call me Jax?" He requests
"Why?"
"I've always wanted to have a nickname. Most people call me Parker. Reece and Kaden call me Jaxon or mate. Every other girl calls me a sickening pet name." He mumbles
"Seriously? Damn...okay I guess. Go to sleep, Jax" I try out the nickname. It felt kinda odd saying it. It'll take some time to get used to.
"Hm...okay...Goodnight..." He mumbles drowsily
"Night, J" I say
My eyes widen in realization. I cover my mouth to stifle a laugh. Jaxon wants a nickname? I have a nickname for him.

I woke up to the smell of coffee. From my closed eyelids, I could already see the rays from the sun. I opened my eyes and squinted them to adjust to the bright light. Jaxon looks at me and smiles.
"Morning! I made us coffee" He says
My thoughts from last night came into mind. I cleared my throat before speaking.
"Morning, Mr. J" I say in my best Harley Quinn voice. It was pretty darn well actually.
His eyes widen and he starts laughing
"Oh my gosh. What???" He says through his laughter
"Last night, you said you wanted a nickname. You told me to call you Jax but that was too boring, so I came up with my own nickname!!" I explain
"It fits so well too!! Your name is Halrey. My names starts with a letter J. Harley Quinn calls the joker Mr. J" He adds everything up
"Therefore, I'm calling you Mr. J now too!!" I say in my Harley Quinn voice
"You do such a good impression of her too!!!" He says

"Oh...thanks Mr. J..." I say
"This is so cool."
"You wanna know something too?"
"Sure."
No one knows this except my grandparents and parents. I refused to let anyone else know. It's not that I was embarrassed, I just didn't want ANYONE to know.
"My full name, my name in my birth certificate, is Harlene Quinzel Deyes." I say
"No way..." He says in disbelief
"Yup. They changed the spelling of Harleen, but it's pronounced the same." I say
"Why?" He laughs again
"My grandfather was OBSESSED with DC. His favorite character was Batman and Harley Quinn. My father was all for the Harlene part because it can be shortened to Harley which is his favorite motorcycle brand. Though, both my parents didn't want to actually name me after a crazy phsyco from DC."
"My grandfather kept begging them, but they always said no. When I was born though, they completely forgot to search for baby names. At that point, Harlene Quinzel Deyes didn't sound so bad so they named me that. When my grandfather found out, I became the favorite grandchild." I tell him the story that my grandfather told me when I asked him
"I'm pretty sure I told you this already..." I chuckle
"Oh...yeah...I forgot" He chuckles
"But that is actually so cool." He says
"I used to think so too, but others bullied me for it so I stopped using my full name." I shrug
"Ahhh I wish I could do the Joker voice, but I suck at impressions" He says
"Well, we know what we're gonna be for Halloween"
"Oh yeah. Definitely."
