Always & Forever
10.
"Wow that's... intense" Harry says as we sit together at the diner. "She just said it like that, no warning, no nothing"
"Nope" I keep answer blunt.
Lyn has just told me she had a child that she gave up for adoption and today is there birthday. So all these emotions and memories have resurfaced with her, and she's having a bad morning.
"I'm thinking I should do something nice for her." I suggest.
"hmm like what?" Harry takes a sip of his coffee.
"Maybe go home, make some breakfast"
He chuckles a little. "Do you cook?"
I open my mouth in shock. "Of course I do"
"Are you sure?" He laughs again. "Yes I am the queen of cooking, I used to cook for me and my uncle all the time".
"Ok, ok. Can I help?" He asks and I smile
"I can cook sometimes" He chuckles again.
"Yea that be nice" He leaves some money on the table and walk to my house.
"Hello" I call out as we get inside the house. "Oh hey Nate"- Nate he also has been living here for a bit and he is so cute, his like twenty years older but still super cute. "I'm just heading to work." He says taking his phone and keys from the table. "Bye" I wave him off.
Harry starts to laugh at me. "Your such a stirrer, come on breakfast." He goes to the fridge.
"Ok we have, eggs" He passes them down "Bacon, and bread" I get all the ingredients and out them on the island bench.
"what are you two doing inside the kitchen?" Lyn comes in. "We wanted to make you some breakfast Lyn. I smile
"That's sweet darl, but I'm ok." She says. "We insist" Harry says.
"Well in that case I like my eggs fried and bacon extra crisp." "You got it, take a seat" Harry says.
"Also a clean kitchen after it." She concludes and leaves the kitchen area.
"Thanks for breakfast guys" Lyn hands her plate and Harry takes it, as I put the stuff away.
"No worries" I say
"Hey why don't you take off, I've got this." I say to Harry
"You sure?"
"Yea, catch up later" I say and he says goodbye to Lyn then leaves.
"Is there anything else I can get you Lyn?" I ask her as she sits on the couch with her cup of tea.
"No thanks love."
"If you need to talk I'm here" I try and offer some comfort. "thanks love" She smiles.
I decide to leave her alone for the day and I decide to go to the beach for a quick swim, I go to the diner for something to eat and now I am on the bus to the city to go to the movies. I step off the bus and it's coming down with rain.
"Just my luck" I murmur to myself
I then see a car stop and a person with an umbrella gets out of the car and it's Harry.
"Hey need a ride home" He offers. I nod my head and we get in his car.
"What were you doing in the rain?" He asks as he drives off. "I was going to the movies."
"Alone?" He glances at me.
"Yes there is nothing wrong with that. What about you, what were you doing alone?" I ask
"Getting my suit fitted for the wedding."
Harry's dad Des and Louis Mum Johana are getting married in a few weeks and Lyn and I along with the rest of the town have been invited.
We finally arrive back at my place, I unbuckle my seatbelt "let me walk you in" Harry comes around my side of the car and takes me under the umbrella as we rush in.
We get inside and I see Lyn standing there. "Hey." I greet her.
"What happened?" She asks, "Oh I was at the bus stop and it just came down but lucky Harry stopped for me. I see something in the corner of my eye. "What's this Lyn" I pick up the Vodka bottle. "Got a big night?" I raise and eyebrow.
She fake laughs it off and puts it away. "I'm going to bed. See you in the morning. Don't be up too late please."
Harry and I take a seat on the couch. "If someone told me it was going to rain this much I would have never come here" I make conversation.
"Ah it's not that bad it only happens every few months."Harry replies with a smile.
"You should smile more often." I put my hand on his leg, and he puts his hand on mine and starts caressing it. My heart then beats a bit faster as he laces our fingers together I look at him, as his eyes are on me. He then takes his hand a moves further up my shorts and he leans in. But he then sees where his hand his and pulls away. "Sorry." He whispers, "I shouldn't of"
"It's ok" It is ok, I mean unless he is uncomfortable.
"I should get going anyway" He stands up and he leaves before I can say goodbye to him.
When he leaves I feel embarrassed, stupid, sad, or all of the above. I pull my shorts down from the top of the hem to cover up my now healed scars.
After contemplating for a bit on the couch. I go to my room and put my rain coat on and take an umbrella. I step outside the storm and walk.
I knock on the door, "Can I help you?" He asks.
"Oh hi I'm umm Olivia, you must be Des" I shake his hand. Then Harry appears. "Ah just the person I wanted to see. Excuse me" I let myself in and take his hand, and go outside in his courtyard.
"What are you doing it's freezing out here." Harry says and he rubs his arms.
"Yea well you should feel right at home then." I refer to back home in the UK.
"Are you not in to me anymore because of my scars?" Or have I been reading the signs all wrong my head says.
"What no, of course not I think your the hottest girl I've ver met" He makes me blush.
"Umm ok." I ask confused.
"It's just when I put my hand, there. I thought I was overstepping." He says.
"No major fail." I laugh a little, "oh" he says.
"So now that, that is sorted" I raise my eyebrow and smile and so does he. He wraps his arms around my neck and I get on my toes and do the same and our lips connect.
