Abbey POV
As I sit in class I can’t make myself focus. My heart is beating fast, and I can’t help myself to stop smiling. What is going on with me? Freaking hell Abbey, what the hell is wrong with you? He is just a stuck up asshole. Why are you allowing yourself to think about him. I shake my head, and I try to focus on the class, but I honestly can’t. I start doodling on my notebook while the professor starts talking.
“Miss Hardy?” I hear someone say, and I lift my head looking at the professor. Shit.
“Oh, sorry”, I let out, and everyone turns around looking at me. I feel my cheeks getting hot. Fuck you, Henry. I think to myself.
“If you think that this class is not important, maybe you should give your place to someone that actually wants to learn?” the professor says, and I dig myself down on my chair. Shit, already being scolded in my first class.
“I’m sorry”, I let out.
The professor starts asking random questions, and I answer one of them proving that I can pay attention and I deserve to be in his class. At the end of the class, he asks me to stay behind as he needs a word. I nod my head, and I stay in my seat while everyone leaves the classroom. I walk to his desk, and he is sitting there with his legs crossed, leaning back. I take a deep breath.
The professor tells me how disappointed he is in me, how he knows my father, and he has high expectations for me, great. When he finishes lecturing me, I open the door, and I see Henry waiting on the other side of the corridor. He is leaning against the wall. Once he sees me, he walks towards me, and I start walking down the corridor, excusing myself as I bump against people. I need to stay away from him, he is bad news, and I already got a told off on my first day of Oxford, what was I thinking?
“Hey, Abbey, wait”, Henry shouts as I walk between two people, and I turn around the corner, trying to lose him. I run down the stairs, and I turn left again. I rest my back against the wall with my hand pressed against my chest as I take a deep breath.
My heart is beating so fast that I honestly think I am about to have a heart attack. I look around, and I have no clue where I am. Great, I start walking to the right until I find another set of stairs. I need to get to the same floor I was before. I walk down the corridor, and I see some of the people that were in my previous class. I greet them as I approach them as ask if they could tell me where I had to go next. A red-haired girl smiled at me and explained where I had to go.
I need to walk across the campus onto the other building. As I am about to cross the corridor, I hear laughter that digs deep into my heart, and I look around to find Henry with his arm around a girl’s shoulder. She is leaning into him, and all smiles. I feel anger build up, and I walk past them without even glancing at Henry.
“Hey, Abbey, wait up”, Henry shouts, but I keep walking until I find the classroom I need to get into. I open the door and walk to a seat in the back. I pull the chair, and then Henry sits next to me.
I look at him in disbelief. “What are you doing here?”, I ask, and he looks down at his hands that are now resting on top of the table.
“I need to talk to you”, he says, and I grab my bag, pulling my notebook and my EarPods. I put them on putting play on my phone and with that Henry’s voice disappears in the background of my music.
Henry pulls one of my EarPods off of my ear and I look at him not believing him. What an idiot.
“Abbey, come on, why are you avoiding me?”, Henry asks me and I look at my notebook where I had the doodles from the previous class.
“Just leave me alone Henry, I am not interested in this”, I say gesturing my hand between us. Henry looks at my hand and then looks deep into my eyes and I feel my legs shaking, I feel as if my legs turned into jelly and for once I am thankful that I am sitting down.
“Mr Payne, I assume you are here in one of your extra curricular activities?”, The professor says and Henry gives me my EarPod back and stands up.
“Im sorry, I’m just leaving”, he says with a monotone and he looks at me as if he is hurt. I avoid looking into his eyes and I look down at my notebook again. Henry leaves and I take a deep breath. The professor introduces herself and she starts the lecture. I manage to pay attention to some of it but at the same time my mind kept drifting to Henry. How did the professor know him? What did she mean by extra curricular activity. Argh, get a fucking grip Abbey.
Once the classes finish for the day I walk back home and I close myself in my room, Roxy tried calling me out a couple of times but I said I was busy with school work and I stayed in my room. I have a mini fridge and a bathroom attached to my room, so I can live here forever and never come out.
I lay down and cover my eyes with my arm taking a deep breath and focusing on my breathing. Music is playing loudly in my room and I manage to relax finally. I close my eyes and allow my mind to get empty while I day dream about my life after Oxford. I decide to get up and start doing some school work, I have already two books to read and some things to organise.
“Come on sleepyhead, we’re going out”, Roxy shouts from the other side of the door while she slams her hands against the door. I take a deep breath as I get out of the bed and I open the door to find Roxy all dressed up.
“Come on”, she says pushing me to the bathroom. She tells me to have a shower while she picks something for me to wear. I try to protest it but she won’t have it. She looks through my wardrobe while I get a quick shower and when I come out a small tight black dress is on my bed. Hell no, I’m not wearing that.
“Come on”, Roxy says picking up the dress and throwing it at me. I shake my head and she smiles.
I walk to my wardrobe and I pick up a short red dress with spaghetti straps and some black heels, Roxy whistles as soon as I walk out of the bedroom with my hair in a high ponytail and red lipstick.
“Damn, you look hot”, Penelope says smacking my ass. We all laugh cheering and we walk out because the Uber was already waiting for us,. I have no idea where we’re going, but I know it can’t be worse than spending the night thinking about Henry.
The drive doesn’t take long and we stop in front of a fancy restaurant, we all get out of the car and Roxy walks to the hostess giving her name and she takes us to a back room, once the door opens a massive party is happening and I blink my eyes.
“Welcome to Oxford Bitch”, Penelope shouts as she jumps around and the music blasts.
Roxy pulls me in and I follow her to the bar where she orders shots and some fancy cocktails. The music is loud and everyone is dancing, all the bodies sweaty and all rubbing on each other. Everyone is dancing and having their hands up in the air while the guys rub themselves on the girls. I feel a chill down my spine as I look around I am met by the beautiful blue eyes that are almost as clear as the sky.
Henry fucking Payne is here. I down my drink and turn around ordering another one and Roxy tells me to slow down but I don’t really care. I down two shots that are given to me and Roxy pulls me to the dance floor. I start to feel lightheaded and she pulls me towards her body as we dance together.
Let me Know what you think.
Henry POV Tonight the biggest party of the year is taking place at one of my dad’s restaurants. Every year we throw a welcome to Oxford party and it’s always insane, we always use the back room in one of his restaurants. Everyone enjoys and has become sort of a tradition. I am not looking forward to it. I don’t even know if the invite got to Abbey. I sent the invite this morning just after her first class when she disappeared on me, and then it didn’t help that I was hugging my cousin in the corridor. I bet Abbey thought she was some random hook up. I take a deep breath as I get out of the shower. I put on my black ripped jeans and a grey t-shirt. I pull my hair back and I look at myself in the mirror, I offer myself a big smile and I grab my leather jacket. Alex and Richie are already wait
Abbey POV I walk back to Roxy that is now near the bar talking to a guy. I walk behind her and whisper in her ear that I’m calling an Uber and going home. She asks me if I want her to come with me but I tell her no, she’s having fun and she might even end up having some sex, I tell her that I will send her my live location and she agrees. I call my Uber and I go outside once it arrives. As I am about to open the door Henry appears next to me. “Where are you going?”, he asks and I look at him feeling self conscious for the first time. He’s looking so sexy, sweat dripping from his hair as he holds his jacket on his left hand and hold the car door with his right hand. “Going home”, I tell him and he nods his head opening the door for me, I get in the car waiting for him to slam the door on my face but he tells me to scoot over, I do as he tells me and he sits next to me. I look at him but he closes the door and tells the driver he can st
Henry POV It’s been two days since the party and Alex and Richie keep annoying me saying that I am losing my touch with the Ladies, all because I didn’t get to bring Abbey home, or get her to go on a date with me, I don’t know why it hurt me so much for her to reject me. As I got home from dropping her off all I could think was her, her beautiful blue eyes and her long dark hair, I wish I could grab her hair while I kiss her, I close my eyes and I take a deep breath trying to remember myself of her scent, how good she smells and how I wish I was next to her right now. “Mr Payne, care to share what’s on your mind?”, The professor says and I open my eyes looking at him. I shake my head and apologise for the distraction and try to focus again on what he is saying. I look at my phone that is resting on top of the small desk and it vibrates as soon as my eyes meet the screen. I pick it up op
Abbey POV Once we reach the restaurant I am pleasantly surprised by what I see, it is a small and quiet Italian restaurant, it has the red and white table cloths and the beautiful wine glasses on the table. There’s candles lit up on each table creating a cozy atmosphere. “It’s beautiful here”, I let out “Wait until you try the food”, Henry says as he pulls the chair for me to sit. I take my place and he walks to the other side of the table and takes his seat. He is wearing dark blue jeans and a light blue button up shirt. It matches his eyes and I can’t believe how sexy he looks. He passes his hand through his hair pulling it back as we reaches for the menu passing it to me. I thank him and I decide I am going for the mushroom risotto. It’s my favourite. Hopefully they will cook it properly.
Henry POV I start driving, and I decide not to go home. I don’t want to answer questions from the boys, and I am not in the mood for their banter. I just want to be alone. I drive for around twenty minutes and end up in a hotel owned by my father. I walk to reception, asking for a room, leaving deliberately my name out of the registration form. I am grateful that the old woman at reception has no clue who I am. She probably doesn’t read the tabloids, and for once, I am glad. I walk into the room, locking the door behind me, flopping down on the bed and resting my head on top of my hands. I close my eyes, and all I can see are those beautiful blue eyes piercing through my soul. I’ve told Abbey a lot more about my life than I’ve ever told any of the boys. I showed her my true self and not the dickhead I pretend to be in public. I roll on the bed, r
Henry POVWe finish dinner, and then we go for a walk in the small park near the restaurant, we hold hands and walk around like a normal young couple, and I have to say I quite enjoy it. Abbey’s phone starts to ring, and she excuses herself answering it. I can hear her talking with someone, and she’s telling them we will be going to the party. Then she giggles. Fuck me sideways. Her giggle makes me go all stiff, I feel my cock getting harder, and I try to adjust myself without her noticing. I don’t want to look like a creep.She walks back to sit next to me on the small wooden bench by the lake, and she smiles, looking at me. I ask her what is going on, and she looks down onto her hands.“What do you wanna do now?”, she asks fiddling with the fabric of her summer dress.“You wanna go to the party? I just need the address”, I let out, and she smiles,
Abbey POVHenry is very skilful with his tongue and lips, I arch my back in pleasure as his hips dig deep against my wet pussy, I wrap both my legs around his waist while his mouth sucks on my nipple. I need him inside of me, I can’t even begin to understand how this is even possible, I’ve never been this upfront with anyone, of course I’ve had sex before and I even had a one night stand but I’ve never been this reckless and I’ve never allowed myself to be conquered like this.Henry pulls my underwear to the side while he slides one finger on my slit. I can’t help but moan and arch my back digging the back of my head deep on the bed. My eyes roll back as a loud moan leaves my mouth.I start to pull on Henry’s jeans trying to unbuckle his belt, Henry pulls away from me and automatically I feel his absence. My body calls for him, he stands up next to the bed
Henry POV We have been spending every free time together. I can’t believe this is actually happening. I am falling for this girl, and I think she is falling for me. We even study together, and the only problem is that I don’t want to study. I want to kiss the life out of her, and I want my body to feel hers constantly. If I was addicted to sex before, now I am even worse. She showed me what It feels like to actually enjoy the person I am having sex with. She is stunning, and she is brilliant. Smart, beautiful. I pull her to me and kiss her lips. Sheis taken by surprise and smacks my arm. We are in the middle of the library. She likes to study in quiet while I like to study in loud places, It helps me concentrate, but with her by my side, it doesn’t matter where we are. I am always distracted by her presence. “Come on, focus”, she tells me, and I roll my eyes, grabbing my highlighter, and I start reading my textbook again. Abbey has her
