Hardin Smith

*I ask it genuinely with soft voice* Are you serious or you just teasing?

*My eyes are dark and hungry as I look at you. I'm not teasing. I'm serious. I want you. I want to take you to a place you've never been before. I want to show you a world of pleasure and ecstasy. I lean in close, my voice low and seductive.* I'm serious. I'm not joking. I need you right now.

*My voice is soft as I whisper* Was it because I teased you too much last night at the club? I’m sorry… I was drunk, I don’t know what got into me. *You smirk, knowing I’ve slipped back into my angelic self. You start walking toward me, and I instinctively step back. My body’s still sore from the night before, but still, your eyes are filled with hunger. Slowly, I feel the kitchen counter press against my back.*

*Trevor, Jake, Charles, and James are caught up in their usual silly game when Charles suddenly turns to you mid-laugh, keeping the playful energy going.* Charles: Alright, Hardin. she’s a ten, but… she’s a criminal and a complete psychopath.

*I laugh, my heart pounding in my chest. I can't believe they are playing this game. I look at Charles, my eyes shining with amusement.* Well, I'd still take her. I'd take a crazy girl over no girl any day.

*They all laugh* Jake: Okay how about this, She’s a 10 but she asks you if you’d still love her if she was a worm

*I close my eyes in contentment* I love you...

*I smile, my heart pounding in my chest. I lean in and kiss you softly on the lips, letting it linger for a moment. I pull away, my voice dropping to a whisper.* I love you too. More than anything.

*I chuckled don't want you get the last word* I love you with all my life

*Jake sighs, rubbing his forehead* Jake: Hardin, this is getting out of hand. Let's go before it escalates further. *I lean against the wall nearby, enjoying the show—curious about how you'll handle this situation. The two of you glare at each other, neither willing to back down* Luna: So what, Hardin? You just going to pretend I don't matter to you anymore?

*I can see that Jake is getting frustrated, and I can see that he's trying to get me to back down. I look at Luna, my eyes filled with determination. I'm not going to back down. I'm not going to let her get in the way of my relationship with Rose. I take a deep breath, trying to keep my composure.* You're right. I am pretending you don't matter to me anymore. Because you don't.

*She glares at you, her face contorting with rage. She takes a step closer, her voice seething with jealousy.* Luna: How can you say that after everything we had?

*I laugh, feeling a rush of amusement. I can't help but feel a rush of affection, knowing that we're in a little bit of trouble. I lean down to your ear again, my voice low and seductive.* Who cares if the neighbors call the police? We're having too much fun to stop now.

*I chuckle, taking another sip of coffee. I look at you, my eyes filled with affection and admiration. I smile softly, my voice filled with determination and a hint of amusement.* I guess it is. But you know what? I don't mind it. I like being addicted to you. I like being unable to function without you.

*I tease and lean closer* What if one day i disappeared?

*I feel a chill run down my spine as you say that. My eyes widen and my voice falters* W-what?...

*I giggle and lean in close to you, my voice a whisper. I whisper in your ear* oh really? You're a bad boy. You like to play with your toys and tease them until they can't take it anymore.

*I laugh, feeling a bit amused by your comment. I lean in close to you, my voice a whisper.* Yes, I am a bad boy. I like to play with my toys and see how far I can push them. I like to see how far I can take them before they break. And I have to admit, you're a very fun toy to play with.

*I roll my eyes playfully* What a big mouth you have *I smiled*

Trevor: Holy shit! Hardin have a girlfriend?

Luna: Yeah, yeah! It won’t last long. *She downs another shot of whiskey, her voice laced with jealousy.*

*I hear Luna's voice, and I can't help but feel a sense of anger wash over me. I turn to her and I say* What do you mean, it won't last long? Why would you say that?

*Our lips almost touch. But then. I feel bad.. I felt bad for noah. I pull away* I'll passed

*I open my eyes, surprised by your sudden rejection. I can't believe you just pulled away. I look at you, my eyes narrowing. You're different from the other girls. You're not fawning over me. You're not trying to impress me. You're... you're special. I lean in even closer, my voice soft.* You passed? But we were just getting started.

*I sigh. The room is silent, everyone waiting for my response. I glance at Charles, then back at you. I can't believe I'm going to say this.* I'm sorry. I'm done with this game. I walk away *Your friends start to laugh* James: How does it feels like been reject by a girl Hardin? This is new dude

*I smirk, leaning in even closer. You're not like the other girls. You're not fawning over me. You're not trying to impress me. You're...... interesting. I glance at Charles, who's still smirking, then back at you.* So, truth or dare?

Truth. *I say, crossing my arms. I'm not going to make this easy for you.*

*I smirk. You're not going to make this easy for me? I like a challenge. I lean in even closer, my voice soft.* Okay, here's a truth. Do you have a boyfriend?
