The Deadly Seven |H.S|

Chapter 24

"Here you go, two iced lattes and your sandwiches will be out shortly" I smiled placing the drinks down and whipping my hands down my pants.

"Thankyou"

"Much appreciated"

Both men nodded and I turned to walk back to the kitchen excited to start back up my conversation with Ashley.

I was back at work, something normal and routine like this was very appreciated after the rollercoaster I just had in my life. After the creek, Harry drove us home to his place and we basically went straight to sleep, I was emotionally drained and needed to rest, the next morning Harry had to go and do something, he didn't tell me what but he didn't come back until after lunch and then we spent the rest of the day eating and watching movies curled up on his couch, it was such a surreal thing to be doing such a domestic thing with him, he would just lay there and occasionally play with my hair or sneak in teasing little touches, that was yesterday.

Harry told me I should just call in sick for work today and stay with him, it was like trying to pry myself from a bloody bear when I had to get up and have a shower. As hard as it was for me to tell harry about...everything that happened, it really eased my mind and things have been different between us, I'm not sure how exactly but it's been different...a good different.

I'm not an idiot, I know there is still a lot Harry needs to tell me and vice versa...starting with why he carries a gun around and what it has to do with his 'work', I've tried not to let myself think about too much, I don't want to draw any conclusions that aren't true, the fact that Harry is so hesitant to tell me anything about it only makes me worry more, I'm not sure if he is just being precautious or if he thinks I'll run scared, but he's got the wrong girl for that, I have feelings for Harry that I've never felt before and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, I don't care what he does....I think anyway.

"Did those guys seem weird?" Ashley's voice snapped me back to earth when I walked behind the register.

Ash was sitting on top of the bench, she wasn't working today, she just came to catch up with me, we can't exactly go back to my apartment yet so this was the next best place and Martha didn't mind.

"Weird, what do you mean?' I pouted looking over at the two men I just served sitting in the back corner.

They were dressed in black jeans and both wearing leather jackets, they both had their fair share of tattoos, even a few on their faces and now that Ashley mentioned it, they did seem a bit out of place here...actually the more I think about it, this was the second pair of guys that have been here like that today.

"I don't know, were they nice?" she asked.

I shrugged looking back to her "I guess so yeah, you don't think I should be worried do you?"

She looked over her shoulder at them, trying to figure them out with her stare "Nothing's happened yet, maybe we're just paranoid"

I hummed looking back at them myself, she was right, nothing had happened all day and they were just polite to me, but something about them was now oddly familiar and it sparked my interest.

Jeans.

Tattoos.

Leather jackets.

Where the fuck have I seen that all before....wait.

I gasped looking back at Ashely.

"What?" she gaped.

"Every time I've gone to Harry's building there are guys dressed like that waiting outside, they never say anything they just acknowledge him, am I thinking crazy right now, since when do guys like that come here?" I rambled.
