Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Chapter 171 Harper When Maddox quickly picked up his phone as soon as it rang , I couldn't help but get suspicious and to add on to it , he got up and moved a few feet away as he looked down at his phone screen . I didn't get up right away but watched him closely as he just let the phone ring . " Aren't you going to answer that ? " I asked , my eyes narrowed . " Nope , " he said casually while still looking down at his screen . " Why not ? It won't stop ringing ." " It's not important . " He shrugged like it wasn't a big deal .

With a sigh of annoyance , he declined the call , but that didn't put me at ease . It only made me feel worse . So I got up and approached him . " Hmm , someone calls you at 1 AM and their call is not important ? " I asked calmly . " It's really nothing ." He tightened his grip on his phone . I glanced at it , then up at his face , my suspicion still strong . I had never been the type to check my boyfriend's phone . I had never even done it while I was dating Mike . " Even if it's nothing , who was it ? " I asked . " Just work . " I scoffed .

" Work's what made you get up that fast so I wouldn't see anything ? " He forced a chuckle , but I could pick up on his annoyance . " What's with all the questions ? " " No , " I said while shaking my head . " If you think that this is the part where I stop asking about it just because you're getting annoyed , you're wrong . Who was that ? " He sighed and for a moment , I thought he would tell me the truth , but he pressed his lips together and looked to the side , I was so disappointed that I just wanted to leave the balcony .

I picked up my phone and walked past him as I said , " I thought we said no lies . " I was just about to walk past the open glass doors when he rushed towards me and held my hand so he could pull me back . But I pulled away , not even looking back at him as I finally made it inside the bedroom . He followed me again and this time , stood right in front of me and placed his hands on my shoulders . f my chin . " Hey , " he said softly while looking down at me , placing his finger at the base of pushed his hand away like he had no right to touch me . I shouldn't have reacted that way .

I'm sorry . That apology meant nothing to me and he could tell from how full refused to took up at hin- " That doesn't solve anything . You still haven't told me who that 5. And don't you dare say it was work one more dine . 11:33 Wed , Feb 4 GG . Chapter 171 wouldn't have rushed for your phone like that had that been true . Tell me the truth or don't tell me anything ." He chuckled , like that was actually funny to him , but I meant it so much that I didn't even crack a smile and still looked to the side .

" I really didn't want to say anything just yet , but I don't like seeing you like this, " he said . " It's your birthday next week and I've been working on a surprise for you . That was a call from an artist . They're in a different time zone so it's only 2 PM where they are . I only rushed to pick up my phone because I didn't want you to see the name on the screen . " That caught my attention a little and put me at ease , making me look up at his face with curiosity . " When you say artist , do you mean music or- " " Nope ! " He placed his index finger on my lips .

" That's all I can tell you for now . If you want more details , just wait until your birthday ." He came behind me , placing his hands on my shoulders and pushing me towards the bed . The fact that he didn't tell me more details only made me more curious and I wouldn't let it go , so I looked over my shoulder , hoping to get more information out of him . " Is the artist super famous ? " He chuckled , stopping in his tracks before kissing my neck and was so sensual that I dropped my head to the side with my eyes shut . He then sent shivers on my spine when he whispered right against my ear .

" Be a good girl and don't ask any more questions . Can you do that for me ? " Fuck . I felt a wave of heat between my legs , making me nod instantly while still feeling his hot breath against my ear . " Now ... " He trailed off as he trailed his hands down to my thighs . Then suddenly , he lifted me bridal style and I gasped as I wrapped . my arms around his neck . " Let's go to bed . It'll be a long flight to Sydney in the morning .

" I would've believed every word he had just said if not for the way he looked at me like he wanted to dominate me once again and the best part , I was going to love every second of it . By 6 AM , we were awake , both standing in front of the mirror while we brushed our teeth . He should've just been focused as I was , but with his free hand , he kept pointing at the hickeys all over my neck . At that point , I'd gotten used to wearing so much makeup around that area just to cover it up .

1 loved the feeling of him nibbling all over my neck but usuallyly realized afterwards that I'd have so much work to do just to cover up . As I rinsed my mouth , my phone began to ring from the bedroom and Maddox and I shared a knowing look , wondering who was calling me so early , Heft the bathroom to check and as soon as I saw the caller ID , we'd spoken was a few hours earlier , when she'd left to meet Aid lips curved into an eager smule . It was Zoey .

The last time so they could , talk , " I didn't think I'd be hearing from you so soon , I admitted as so in as I picked up : " Done talking ? 11:33 Wed , Feb 4 GG . Chapter 171 " Oh yeah ! " she whispered with satisfaction . " We talked all night . It was great . " I raised my eyebrows . " And how did you talk ? " " Passionately . " I pressed my lips together to hold in my laugh , but burst into laughter as soon as she did . When I finally composed myself , I said , " You knew what you were going to do by meeting him at 1 AM ." " Yup ! And it was worth it .

But we did talk before it led to anything else . " " And ? " " He really wants us to try again and I said yes ! We're official now I gasped with pleasant surprise . " That's amazing ! I'm so happy for you ! " " Thanks . Do you think I should tell Ella ? " " Of course you should . Imagine what it'll be like if she finds out from someone else ? You told her your feelings last time . That's why you shouldn't worry . " " You're right . I really hope everything goes well for you in Sydney . What if you find your dad waiting for you as well ?

That will be so sweet and- " " Babe , I've been looking for you , " Aiden's voice came through in the background and I covered my mouth to hold in my giggle . " Hey babe , " Zoey responded sweetly . " I was just talking to Harper . She's about to leave for Sydney with Maddox . " " Have a safe flight ! " Aiden cheerfully yelled it out . How could he not after having Zoey say yes to him ? After the call came to an end , I returned to the bathroom and found Maddox still waiting for me . " I thought I'd find you in the shower , " I said . " Without you ? Nope .

" I shook my head as I stepped in first , then told him about Zoey and Aiden . " Good for them , " he said as the water cascaded down our bodies Just look at us and how we started out , but here we are today . " He kissed my forehead , then grabbed the sides of my face to look into my eyes . " I love you and I'm not about to let someone take you away from me . " He immediately smashed his lips on mine but I couldn't stop thinking about how that was so unexpected to hear . Was that supposed to be a warning to someone ?
