Am I Safe?

I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. That is till I remember the events from the night before. Was that even real? Of course it was Alana! I decide to lie in bed a little longer since I didn’t have to leave for work till two thirty and it was only nine right now.
I start to doze off again when I hear a knock at the door. I gradually get out of bed and drag my feet along the carpet. I look through the peep hole and squeal with excitement. I open the door as fast as I can and jump on my best friend Steven.
“Alana I missed you so much” He says into my hair while we hold each other.
“I missed you too” I smile into his neck. I don’t know how long we were in that position till I finally let him go.
“Do you want to come in, I don’t think you came here just to stand in the hallway” I laugh as we both walk into my apartment.
“Wow this is nice. I am really proud of you Alana I think this is what you needed to be independent for once.” He did a 360 taking in the whole apartment as he laughed to himself.
“Yah I think so too but the apartment is temporary. Just till I can finish my online classes and get a real job”
“Oh yah of course, what are you studying anyway?
“Oh I want to become a philologist” I say smiling as I pour both of us some ice tea. We both sit down on my bed since I have no couch yet.
“Oh yah how could I forget. That’s basically all you talked about as a kid” He said smiling big at me.
“So how is everything?” I ask looking back and forth between him and the cup in my hands
“Good I actually just got my own apartment not too far from here. You just go a little up to the street to the complex at the end.”
“Wow once neighbors always neighbors I guess.” I laugh lightly.
“Yah no kidding. So how is it going with you lately Ally?” That was always his nickname for me growing up.
“I have been great; I just got a job at the Italian restaurant down the street and made some new friends over there.”
“Oh that’s great. Maybe I could meet them sometime.” I nodded my head in agreement.
We spent the rest of the day together till I told him I had to leave for work.
“Well it was great seeing you again Alana.” We shared a quick hug before he started making his way down the hall
“Bye Steven.” I slowly start to shut the door when I hear my name being called I Open the door again and look down the hall to see its Steven again.
“What’s up?” I ask as he comes up to me again.
“UmIknowwehavealwaysbeenfriendsbutIjustwantedtoknowifmaybeperhapsyouwouldliketogooutwithmeonFridayImeantodaysonlyMondaysoyoudon’thavetodecidenowbutjustconsiderit.” (Um I know we have always been friends but I just wanted to know if maybe perhaps you would like to go out with me on Friday I mean todays only Monday so you don’t have to decide now but just consider it.) I stared at him for a second thinking about it, he does know me best after all. I never really thought of him like that though.
“I don’t need till Friday___”
“Ohh I un-understand. Sorry I asked.” He looked down at his hands and started to turn to leave. I quickly grabbed his arm and spun him around
“You didn’t let me finish Steven, I don’t need till Friday because I have already decided that I want to.” I messed with my fingers as I looked up at him. I don’t know why I was nervous. His smile was ear to ear.
“Thanks Alana you won’t regret it. I’ll call you when I have the details” He hugged me tighter than he ever has, then turned and left smiling.
I thought over what just happened while I got ready for work, how long has he liked me? Where will he take me for our….date…? Maybe he’ll bring me to his apartment, or the movies, or maybe just a nice restaurant.
With all the thoughts of Steven I didn’t realize I already left and was outside of work. I walked in and could already smell the pasta. Mmhm love that smell.
I make my way to the back and go into the kitchen to find Liam. I heard his voice as I made my way to the back. I turn the corner and see him talking to someone I don’t recognize. The guy had brown curly hair, broad shoulders, and was a bit taller than Liam. He looks up and his eyes meet mine. They were the most beautiful green I have ever seen. I quickly break eye contact and look down at my hands waiting for their conversation to be over.
“Okay so any more questions?” Liam asked the mystery guy. I looked up to see him shake his head. His averted his eyes back to me, Liam noticed and turned to greet me.
“Hey Alana, so glad you’re here…. Oh sorry uh this is Harry he is new just like you. Harry, Alana, Alana Harry.” He introduced us to each other. I reached my hand out for him to shake. He kindly returned the gesture .
“Hello” He smiles at me. His voice seemed really familiar. Where do I know it from? Ugh I know this is going to bug me.
“Well I am gonna get to work” I smile as I excuse myself from the two of them.
Harry smiles at me, as I leave where do I know him from?
