hang out, I got the vibe from you earlier that you’re more than interested.” As Matt is saying this, he is getting closer and closer to me, so I start backing up.
“No Matt, I didn’t give you that vibe earlier. I was being nice. I am not interested in anything with you or any of your band mates. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to head home.”
“Harper, I am not a man that is told no. I know you want me and I want you so come on, I will make it worth your while.” Matt says smugly. I can smell the beer on his breath and as much as my insides are turning and I’m scared, I will not show him that.
“You can find someone else; it will not be me tonight.” I said angrily.
“I like your feistiness, I wonder if you’re that way in the sheets,” he says with a smug look on his face.
“That is not going to happen, I’m not going anywhere with you.” I all but yell at him.
At this point he now has his hands on my arm. This is not looking good. Where the hell is everyone? I can feel myself start to get nervous and scared. “Harper, like I said I always get what I want, and right now I want you.”
“Matt let go of me. You can go and have whoever you want just not me, now let me go.” I said angrily as I tried to pull my arm away. Before Matt could say anything else a voice from behind me says, “I believe she said she’s not interested, let her go now,” the voice demanded.
I would know that voice anywhere!
“Look dude, I was here first, we’re having a personal conversation so butt the fuck out,” Matt said.
Tucker walked right up to him, “Well unfortunately for you Harper is already taken; now take your damn hands off of her before I remove them for you.” The look on Tuck’s face was almost scary, but I was very thankful for his help in that moment. Matt let go of my arm and just walked away without another word.
“Thank you Tucker.”
“Harp, why are you out here all by yourself? You know it is not safe,” he said a bit irritated.
“I went to leave and he came out and called from behind, I had no idea he was a douche bag like that.”
“Harp most men are like that so stop walking home by yourself,” he says bitterly.
“Tucker I don’t drive, I have walked home numerous times without any issues; it’s not a big deal.”
“So what went down tonight wasn’t a big deal? Really, because it didn’t look like you had it under control,” he said angrily.
“I’m not saying that, but I don’t usually have to deal with that. I will be more careful from now on,” I said softly.
“Come on, let’s get you home,” he says a bit nicer.
He walks me to his car and opens the door for me and I get in without saying a word. What is he doing back already? Why is he here? Was he in the bar earlier and I missed him? So many questions ran through my head, but I wouldn’t ask one of them. He slides into the driver seat and turns the car on and drives towards my dorm. There is complete silence for most of the way on the short drive. As Tucker pulls into a parking spot, he parks, gets out and opens my door for me. “Thank you for helping me back there and for taking me home Tucker, I appreciate it.”
“I’m glad I was there Harper, I would hate to find out what could have happened if I hadn’t shown up. But look Harp we need to talk. What are your plans tomorrow?” he asks sweetly.
“Probably just taking pictures and relaxing,” I say nonchalantly.
“I didn’t know you take pictures, but wait, do you work tomorrow?” he asks looking a bit confused.
“No, I have the day off tomorrow,” I state
“Okay, well I will come over tomorrow and we can talk,” Tucker says.
“Tucker look it’s probably for the best if we don’t talk,” I say shyly.
“Oh no Harper, there is plenty we need to talk about and we are going to discuss things. You’ve shut me out for the past few weeks but not anymore.” Before I can say anything else, Tucker
