《The Heart Wants What It Wants ✔️》Ch. 31
Advertisement
After I cooled down, J and I lounged around. We were chilling in J's room watching Mission Impossible. I laid on his lap this time and he played with my hair this time. He's been obsessed with it ever since I showed it to him.
Just as a scary part was about to come on, our phones both rang simultaneously. We looked at each other before getting up to answer the call. I checked the caller I.D. and saw it was Mali.
"Heyy!!!" I greet her
"HARLEY DEYES, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" She yells. I had to bring the phone away from my ear so that I wouldn't go deaf
"Ouch. Okay." I say
"ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!" Emma yells as well. I guess I'm on speaker phone.
"Emma!!! You're back already??" I say
"STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT" They yell on unison
"OKAY!! I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM!!" I yell now as well
"WHAT?!" They shriek
I see J looking at me from the other side of the room. He was on the phone as well, but he was talking much quieter. He looked at me in amusement and curiosity.
"Stop shouting already!!! I don't know where I am. I just know that I'm in privte beach" I say
"With who?" Mali asks
"...Jaxon..."
They start squealing, making me yet again have to pull away from the phone. They fangirl for a good 30 seconds before calmong down.
"How???" Emma questions
"Well you were away, Mali was sick, and Chris has school. I suddenly got a call from Jaxon if I wanted to go with him and hang out for the week. I said yes since I had nothin better to do, so now I'm here." I summarize everything. I will tell them the juicy bits when J isn't in the room.
"Oooohhh something saucy is about to happen between you two" Emma teases
"Yeah yeah. Why are you calling and screaming at my ear?" I change the topic

"We dropped by to surprise you and ask you if you wanted to hang out, but you weren't there. Chris wasn't home either. We got really worried, so we tried calling you but you didn't answer" Mali says
"Oh...sorry. My phone was dead" I say sheepishly
"Yeah. We got that." Emma says
"We have some really juicy things to tell you, but we'll tell you later." Mali says
"Yeah. We can't right now cause Kaden and Reece are nearby. They're on the phone with Jaxon actually. The four of us have been lookig for you two." Emma says
"Okay. I have some things to tell you too, but I can't because of the same reason." I say
"Call later?"
"Definitely."
We chatted a bit more and finally ended the call. It dawned on me that Jaxon was no longer in the room. I looked out to the hall to see him still on the phone at the other end of the hallway. He spots me and waves. I wave back and go into my room. I decided to take a nice cold shower.
Once I was done, I got a towel and put on my Calvin Klein black sports bra with matching underwear. I wore my black sweatpants and nothing on top. I was just gonna lay in bed and go to sleep anyway. Plus, it's super hot.
I plopped onto my bed and started scrolling through social media. After a bunch of YouTube videos, J finally finished his call. He entered my room and plopped down next to me.
"Ughh..." He groans
"You okay?" I ask him
"I'm sorry, Harley" He looks up at me with guilt swarming his eyes
"Why?"
"There's a problem going and they need me to fix it..." He says
"You're leaving?" I furrow my brows
"Just for a day! I'll be back and we'll continue our vacation week." He says
"Oh...okay." I nod my head in understanding
"I'm really sorry...I don't want to leave, but-"

"Jaxon. It's okay. You should go" I smile to try and comfort him.
"But-"
"I'll be fine!" I ruffle his hair. He sighs sadly and nods. He crawls up and hugs me. As soon as his skin touches mine, he pulls back immediately. My face burns for the nth time.
He takes a look at my outfit and raises his eyebrow.
"What are you wearing?" He asks
"Sleep clothes." I say
"You're just in a bra..."
"It's comfortable" I shrug
"Plus it's really hot" I add
"Damn right it is." He smirks
I throw a pillow at him, and he leaves while laughing. I shake my head in attempts to stop the blush.

"OH MY GOSH!!!!" Mali and Emma squeal
As soon as J left, I called up Mali and Emma. I told them everything that had happened these past few days. They held in their squeals until I finished my story. Once I did, they started squealing for a solid 2 minutes.
"You guys are so cute!!!" They squeal
"I know. You've been saying that for the past 2 minutes." It was really getting annoying.
"It's just that-"
"PLEASE CAN WE MOVE ON FROM THIS TOPIC!!!" I yell in frustration
"Okay okay okay" They say
"Finally!!!" I say in relief
"Now, WE have something to tell YOU." They say. I nod in response.
"So...we've been looking for you together with Kaden and Reece right?"
"Yeah..."
"We split into two pairs. It's Reece and Emma-" Mali says
"And Kaden and Mali" Emma finishes
"Reece and I went to your house." Emma says
"While Kaden and I went to Jaxon's."
Why are they finishing each other sentences??
"So ya know...we got to bond with the person we were with, and we both ended up kinda liking them." Emma blushes a bit as she says this
"Emma says "kinda" cause she's still trying to fully move on from that asshole. I,on the other hand, actually have a crush on Kaden. Once you get to know the guy amd actually talk to him, he's a really great person." Mali says
I am in loss for words. On one hand, I want to support them with their crushes like a good friend. On the other hand, I want to tell them it's a bad idea.
Those guys are our friends now, but they're still players. Kaden is still part of a gang. Reece is still a street fighter. Jaxon is still a rich asshole that takes care of the gang meetings. They all still push drugs. They all still do drugs. They're all still bad boys.
I don't want them getting their hearts broken by these two. Having a crush on a bad boy is painful, and I know it from experience. I don't want it to happen to them.
"Harley? Harley?? Harley!!"
Mali's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. I smile widely at them.
"So you two got a crusshhh nowww" I smirk at them. I decided I'll support them. It's just a crush anyway. It won't get become anything more...hopefully
"I sure do, but Emmy here still isn't sure." Mali says
"It's okay, Em. Don't force yourself into love. Just wait for the right time and the right man to come." I say. She nods and smiles at me in response.
"Oh! Yeah. What are your ig accounts?" I ask them.
We exchange ig and snapchat accounts. Not even a minute after following me on Instagram, they call again.
"YOU DYED CUT YOUR HAIR?!?!"
"Yeah" Is all I reply with
"WHY?!?!"
And for the next minutes they yell at me asking me why I did it. Once I answered, they approved of it and let it slide. We talked through the whole day just looking at each other's photos and some cute guys photos.
The girls and I hung out over the phone for the whole day. I don't know about you, but that is true friendship. To me, not letting distance ruin your friendship is true friendship.

This reborn personal trainer is going to whip the royal army into shape!
Olympics Sports Trainer, Meg Thompson, had never even heard of an otome game, so when she died in Japan during the Tokyo Games and was reincarnated into one in error as the minor character, Briar Bell, she might have unintentionally messed just about everything up for the true heroine...Whether it was her befriending villainesses, or hanging out with capture targets, from the moment she was born she was setting the plot careening off course. (although if you ask her, the original storyline was stupid and hopeless to begin with #SorryNotSorry)The Heroine was supposed to seduce this medieval-esque kingdom's most eligible bachelors in order to use the power of their love to stop the encroaching demon army from destroying humanity with her heart magic. Playing the role of 'heroine' was another reincarnated woman named Sakura, a hardcore Japanese otaku who had previously been hit by a truck in a tale as old as time.Whether it is the fault of Sakura's social ineptness (as Briar would claim) or from her own interventions, humanity is now heading towards total decimation. Seems like she'll have to brush off her coaching skills and get this royal army into fighting form.

8 79Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
