Feeling Safe With Danger

"You didn't!" I said in astonishment.

"Yup! That was the time I found out the hard way that college professors hate it when you put thumb tacks covered in honey on their chairs! Served him right though...he always sneezed on my papers."

I had to place my hand over my mouth to restrain myself from laughing too hard. Lane has turned out to be a really funny guy.

Harry's a funny guy too.

Vana. Stop.

I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone, checking for any messages.

None.

I must have looked disappointed because Lane asked me if something was wrong.

"Oh no. I just, um, I was sort of expecting a message. But it doesn't matter. What do you think looks good?" I decided to change the subject.

It has been A WEEK since my date with Harry and I haven't heard back from him.
No texts, no calls, no voicemails.
It made me angry. He freaking told me he liked me! Was that all a lie? Why hasn't he contacted me?
I admit, I've been really worried he has gotten bored with me and that he proved himself to be the jerk I judged him to be.

Having Lane around has helped me keep my mind off of the curly haired boy....kinda. We've hung out everyday since we met.
Or should I say we've gone out on a few dates since we met. Lane's a nice boy. Charming too.

Not as charming as Harry though. Ugh.
Stop thinking about him, Vana. He's no good. He hasn't even called or texted and he's left you hanging with those last words he uttered to you.
I was broken away from my thoughts by Lane's smooth voice.
"I'm thinking the chicken alfredo."
"Same." I smiled.

Lane had taken me to a really nice restaurant tonight. I wonder what Harry would think if he found out I was on a date with a really attractive guy. I mean, really attractive guy. Harry's hot when he's jealous.
But would he even be jealous?
I frowned at the thought.



----Later that night-----

Lane walked me to my door. As I was reaching to open it, he stopped me.
He grabbed my arms and pulled me closer to him.
I could feel my heart racing a little.
"Lane?" I questioned.
"Shhh." He hushed. He tucked a piece of my dark curly hair behind my ear.
"Vana, you look so beautiful tonight. I've had so much fun with you this week." I blushed at his words.
I noticed his face getting closer to mine.
Why was his face getting closer to mi-
Oh.
His lips were soft as they were placed on mine. He brought his lips around my bottom lip and placed one hand on my waist while the other one traveled to the back of my neck.
As he pulled away, I could feel my heart beat racing.
That was a nice kiss, but I thought kisses were supposed to leave a tingling feeling and send shivers down your back?
Oh wait, thats kisses with Harry.

Harry. I sighed.

Lane probably thought I sighed of contentment from his kiss. He winked at me and turned to walk towards his car. I watched as he drove away into the dark of the night.

I reached for the door again, but stopped before my action could be completed.

I needed to go on a walk to clear my thoughts and all that.

I began walking, realizing my feet were taking me along a familiar path to my work place. It wasn't open or anything but it gave me a destination to reach before I turned back home.

Why was Harry still invading my thoughts? Lane is such a nice guy! I shouldn't be thinking of that jerk when I have such a gentleman around.

But I can't stop thinking about him. Harry was so much more exciting than Lane. I felt guilty for feeling that way but it's true!

I stopped walking when my eyes landed on an appliance store. I remember that store. Harry and Andrew were parked in front of it after Andrew had attacked me.

I knew I was being stupid but I started walking towards it. The lights were on inside even though it was really late. I looked inside and saw two guys talking to each other. Their brows were furrowed and their gestures were big and tense.
One of them had big brown eyes, a black quiff, and some dark facial hair. He looked middle eastern.
The other had shorter brown hair, some facial hair, and brown eyes as well. His muscles were well-defined.
Both were attractive, both had tattoos.

Harry's attractive and had tattoos.

I wondered if he knew these guys.
I don't know what I was expecting or thinking but I decided to push open the doors and walk in.
Both heads snapped in my direction.
The one with big muscles walked towards me, "What do you think you're doing?"
The other one's eyes narrowed in my direction. "We're closed." He said suspiciously.


I gulped. Hard.
