Don’t get pushed into something you can’t get out of.

Some Cafe In Bently


We all sat there, in awkward silence. Until the waiter came to take our orders. When we were finished ordering, it was still awkward. Because none of us said anything. Then I got a text. From Harry. You still look deliciously beautiful in that dress, it said and I smiled and rolled my eyes, but then I got another text from him and it said, And didn’t I tell you that you couldn’t roll your eyes at me, Miss Greene? You naughty girl.

“So,” Penelope cleared her throat and Harry and I both jumped, “Ana, do you have anything to do this evening?”

“No. I don’t think so,” I smiled and then my phone vibrated. Dinner with me? the text said and I smiled, “Well actually. I have plans. I am going to dinner.”

“Oh really? With who?” she asked and I widened my eyes. With Malina, he texted me again.

“With my friend Malina. I haven’t seen her in such a long time. And I heard Harry here is going out with his friends tonight.” I looked to Harry and he smiled devilishly at me, making me melt in my seat.

“Oh yeah?” Penelope looked at Harry and he looked at her.

“Yeah. We’ll probably watch some games, play some pool, drink beers. You know, what guys do for a living.” She let out the fakest laugh I ever heard and I balled my fists. I bit my lip and closed my eyes. Then I got another text, You really are a naughty girl, Miss Greene. You haven’t even done anything and I want to come across this table. You deserve a round of applause. Harry mockingly held up his hands and quietly clapped them. I rolled my eyes and he clenched his jaw, grabbing a hold of the table cloth.

“What are you doing tonight Penelope?” I asked and she smiled.

“I believe that Deacon said he wanted to talk to me about something,” my heart dropped to my stomach and Harry looked over to her, “I think he said it had something to do with you. Do you think he likes you?” she smiled and Harry grabbed a hold of the table cloth again, his jaw clenching even tighter.

“I don’t know. It depends. I might have a slight thought about him liking me.” I smirked at Harry and his mouth dropped.

“I think you two would be cute together.” Penelope smiled and I laughed.

“Bathroom!” Harry boomed and raced into the cafe and into the bathroom.

“What’s wrong with him?” Penelope laughed and I shrugged, mentally punching her in the face. I knew this was a bad idea from the beginning. The three of us sitting here together is just hell. I know that there is going to be a fight out of this between Harry and I.

My phone buzzed and I looked down. It said, I don’t know what she thinks that she is doing, but I am about to hyperventilate. I won’t let her talk about you and Deacon that way. I’m going to make sure that asshole doesn’t touch you, ever. Trust me bébé, I’ll be the one to touch you. Nobody else.

I messaged him back, You’re being very dirty today. Are you feeling alright?

I covered my mouth at his response, You don’t want to know what I’m feeling right now. Then he replied again, I’ll kick his ass when we get home. You can guarantee it.

Then he came back to our table and sat down beside Penelope. Then she ever so slowly leaned over and kissed his cheek.

“So glad you came back. I thought you were going to leave,” Penelope whispered and I leaned my head back, taking a deep breath.

“How could I leave?” he forced a smile and I stood up.

“Now it’s my turn to use the bathroom.” I grabbed my phone and walked into the cafe, but to my surprise, Harry came following in after me. I walked into the girl's bathroom to get him to stop following me, but that didn’t work. He made sure that no one was in the bathroom before he locked the door. “Are you insane? You’re in the girl's bathroom!” I laughed a little and he bit his lip.

“I don’t know what I’m doing either. I just… Feel like I need to do something…” He trailed off and looked at me. He took a step towards me and grinned, “But then I remembered what I needed to do.”

“Oh no, lover boy. You’re fiance is waiting outside.” I shook my head and walked towards the door, smiling.

His hand caught my wrist and he pulled me back towards him, “I’ll only kiss you very slowly. Promise.” He smirked and my back met the bathroom door. He kissed me softly, but then his promise came true and he began to kiss me rapidly like his breathing, and he put my hands above my head, pressing his body up against mine. He was clearly not stopping and I groaned in his mouth as he pressed his hips harder onto mine. “Oh shit,” he grumbled when there was a knock on the door.

“Ana? Are you in here? It’s me. Penelope.”

“Oh shit,” I said and Harry pulled away from me, hiding in a bathroom stall. I opened the bathroom door and there stood Penelope, “Hey.”

“I think Harry left.” She looked down and I sighed.

“It will be okay. I promise.” I patted her shoulder and tried to calm my breathing.

“Are you okay? You’re breathing a little hard.” She became suspicious and I cleared my throat.

“I think we should just go back to our table.” I pushed her back outside and we sat down at our table. Moments later, Harry came back too.

“I thought you left.” Penelope smiled and Harry sighed, shaking his head. Just as Penelope was about to say something, someone started yelling at the table across from us. Food was flying and the table was thrown across the street, causing cars to stop. I stood up and looked closer.

“You spill your drink on me one more time, you asshole!” A woman yelled and the man that was beside her pleaded.

“I’m sorry miss. It was an accident. It won’t happen again,” he pleaded again. A waitress walked up to our table and I looked back to the distressed woman, but then I realized, it was Malina. All of a sudden, she walked over to our table and slammed her body into the seat next to mine.

Then she looked at the waitress and scoffed. “I’ll take a beer,” the waitress nodded and quickly walked away, “What?” Malina snapped when she saw Penelope glaring at her, “I’ll beat your ass, toothpick. Don’t think I won’t hesitate.”

Harry began to laugh and she jerked her chin towards him. He laughed again and said, “I ain’t scared of you, blondie.”

“I ain’t scared of you either, rich asshole.” Malina shook her head and I smiled.

“Who are you?” Penelope scoffed and Malina glared at her.

“Who the fuck are you?” Malina raised her voice and Penelope crossed her arms.

“Someone you should be afraid of.” I couldn’t help but laugh at Penelope.

“You think I’m scared of you? Little girl, I could easily snap you in half. You can watch me.” Malina laughed at her too.

“I’d like to see you try.” I covered my mouth and Penelope raised her eyebrows. Then the only thing I saw next was Malina flying across the table towards Penelope.
