I whipped my head around and glowered at him. How dare he say something like that to me?
“You were about to paint right? Don’t mind me…I’ll just sit and watch…” Hayden said calmly as he sat down on the sofa, his eyes on me.
How am I supposed to concentrate with him in the room staring at me like that? I sighed loudly as I began getting to work. Having him sitting there is a whole lot better than if he did some other troublesome or mischievous thing.
Hayden watched me paint silently. Soon, my grandmother got tired, and she fell asleep quietly in her bed. I was too focused on watching my grandmother sleeping that I didn’t feel Hayden’s presence behind me until he had grabbed my wrist.
“Come with me,” Hayden whispered as he held my wrist firmly in his large hand.
His grip wasn’t rough, but it was firm enough that I knew I couldn’t break away from it. Without waiting for me to respond, Hayden began dragging me after him and out of the hospital room.
“Where are you taking me?” I asked as I struggled to keep up with his long strides.
I felt a sense of déjà vu. Hayden really had a habit of just dragging me around.
We were in the hospital and people were already giving us suspicious glares. I tried to calm down to not draw anymore unnecessary attention to us or disturb the other people in the hospital. Hayden dragged me all the way to his car before he opened the passenger seat and shoved me inside his car.
I didn’t like where this was going at all. The last time he dragged me off, I had to pose as a fake girlfriend and almost got raped because of it. This wasn’t funny at all.
“Where are you taking me?!” I demanded loudly when Hayden got into the driver’s seat next to me.
“Why are you so loud? I told you before…I don’t like loud girls…” Hayden said coldly.
Right, I also remembered the ending of that sentence…
However, that’s not the point right now!
“Where are you taking me?” I asked again.
“We’re just gonna go shopping. Ok? Don’t worry too much,” Hayden replied.
“There’s nothing that I want. I’m getting out,” I said as I reached for the door.
Before my hand could reach the door handle, my arm was already being pulled back by Hayden. I let out a cry of surprise at his speed. Without paying me any mind, Hayden began driving the car out of the parking lot.
Without a choice, I shrugged his hand off my arm and sat in the passenger seat as my anger started boiling over. I didn’t know where we were going and frankly, I didn’t care.
“Why are you here? What do you want?” I asked, suspiciously.
Nothing good comes from Hayden being with me. There must be some hidden agenda or something that I’m not aware of for sure.
