Old Friend

The next day I woke up with a hangover but I needed to go to work so I had a shower and got dressed.
The girls had already gone for school or work.
I went to the coffee shop and my dad was already busy cleaning tables.
"Hey. How are you?" He greeted.
"Well I have a hangover but I will survive." I was walking to the kitchen to make myself something to eat.
"Kim? Did you know that Harry is in town? He was here about an hour ago." My dad followed me into the kitchen.
“Yeah I met him last night.”
“He looks good now.”
“Dad! Do you know if he comes back?"
"Well he gave me this." He gave me a little note.
'Hi Kimmie, too bad that you are not here yet. Give me a call when you are there. Bye Harry.'
"I will call him later. Let's get to work, shall we?”

Janet and Laura came to the pub later that day. They took a seat at the bar.
"Hi Kim, how are you?" Janet called me. I gave them both a tea.
"I’m alright. I’m got a hangover but I’m OK." I said.
"Did you speak to Harry already?"
"No, Laura. He was here before I was here. He left a note behind." I gave the note to the girls.
“Are you going to call him?”
“Don’t know. It’s a bit weird. It’s been a while since I saw him for the last time.”
“Your right, he does look cute though.” Laura and Janet laughed.
“And he is Julie boyfriend!” I said not smiling.
“Kim, you are here finally.” Harry came walking into the pub.
“Harry, hi.” Laura and Janet grasped there tea and left the bar.
“Can I get you anything?”
“A coffee would be nice.” He said.
“Haz, I have a break in 15 minutes. Can you wait till then? It’s a bit busy around here now.” I said while I was giving his coffee.
“No that’s cool. I will join Laura and Janet, where their names right?” I smiled and looked at the girls. He walked over to them.

After 15 minutes of working in the kitchen, I finally had a break that I could use. Before I got my tea and walked over to Harry and the girls, Mark walked in. He had a crush on me since he walked here the first time and he asked me out lots of times but every time I said no.
“Hey sexy thing, can you get me a coffee to go?” He asked. I gave him his coffee and a fake smile.
“You can give me some more smiles if you still want me to like you.” I gave him an angry look and he walked out of the pub.
“Who was that?” Harry asked while I was joining them.
“Some weird guy that is totally into her.” Laura said.
“He looks okay. Why don’t you give him a chance?” He asked.
“Because he is so not my type. I like exotic guys, remember?”
“How do you explain Eric then?” We started to laugh.
“We will leave you two alone. We have shopping plans. Harry, nice seeing you again and Kim, we will see you tonight.”
“I have to work tonight, girls.”
“Again?” They said.
“Yes, the new guy had gone home ill today.” The girls said there goodbye and walked off. Harry was giving me a weird look.
“What did I do this time?” I asked.
“I’m still waiting for an explanation.” Now I gave him a weird look.
“What do you mean?”
“Well explain Eric for me.” I started to laugh.
“Believe me; if I know that, that guy was going to hurt me I never would have dated him.” We laughed.
“What happen to us, Kim?”
“Don’t know. You moved away to make music.”
“So now, it’s my fault!”
“No, I would never say that.” He started to laugh.
“Kim, I was only joking. It was my fault. I could have kept in contact with you when I was away from home a lot.”
“Well why didn’t you?” I saw my dad with an angry face.
“Listen, I have to go back to work again. My dad is looking very mad right now.”
“I understand. I will drop by tonight to visit Julie. Maybe we can talk then. I really missed our talks, Kimmie.”
“I have to work but I think when you drop by tonight you won’t have time to talk. Julie doesn’t like to talk.” I laughed and walked away.
Not much later Harry placed his mug on the bar and waved me goodbye.
