Lost

Chapter 59

“Angel..” I know this voice, but it seems to be miles away from where I am. So far, I may not reach it, even if I wanted to. Nothing but a whisper in whatever state I am in.

“Angeleyna Lyall!” Harry. This is Harrys voice. Oh wait..

I open my eyes and look at him. He is standing outside the car at my door, looking down at me with a taunting smile on those plump lips, black sunglasses shielding his eyes from my view. As I stare at him, he shakes his head in amusement.

“We’re here, baby” he lets me know and points behind himself with one thumb “and you should get outta there, so that I can show you round and have you meet my friend.”

I wonder how long I have been asleep because really, this felt like days. I must have been really tired out of a sudden. But then again, driving a long time in a car always makes me tired. No wonder I was totally out. Anyway, Harry obviously got us here safely.

“I’m sorry I fell asleep” I mumble sleepily and unbuckle my seatbelt.

He shows me his typical smile. “Don’t you worry. Now c’mon, let’s get in there.”

I follow him into the house and probably have eyes as big as a plate. This friend of his who lives in here really has a lot of money. Basically, I believe he is rich, whoever it is.

“Uhm.. are you sure I am allowed to be in here?” I whisper and watch my every step.

“Yes, Angel. I absolutely am” he laughs and puts his hand on my lower back, pushing me forward.

I try to go carefully. “But.. look, I don’t know about this. What, if we get arrested for..”

“For what?” This voice, I do not know. I have never heard it before.

I turn a bit to see a young man standing in the middle of the hall, looking all badass. His style matches Harry pretty much with his black clothes and tattoos. His grin is cheeky and his body quite muscular. His hair is black and his eyes never leave mine.

“Hi” he greets me and comes closer. “I’m Ash.”

I frown. “I’m Ley.”

“Ley only?” he wonders and chuckles.

“Ash only?” I counter and cross my arms. Wow, I am being brave again.

He laughs and shakes his head in amusement. “Asheton Gabs. My parents obviously have a sick sense of humor when giving names.”

I now start grinning. “Yours? My name is Angeleyna Lyall, how about that?”

He starts laughing. “Oh my fucking gosh. Okay, you win! Yours is definitive the bigger fail.”

Correct. He only has a different way of spelling his name. Mine completely out of the normal language. I don’t even know how my parents got through with that.

“Any siblings?” Ash asks still laughing.

I nod. “Luces and Danyon.”

He bawls. “I can’t believe that. Why you?”

Yeah, I wonder about that myself. “Not sure. Maybe because I’m a girl?”

“It’s a beautiful name, baby” Harry says and presses me against him. “Don’t care about that jerk.”

“Sure, but you don’t tell me about your styles, right?” Asheton asks and starts laughing even harder.

“See? He’s a total dumbass.” Harry gives me a little smile and I nod. Ash is just joking, I know that.

When Ash finally shakes his head and calms down again, he winks at me again. “Okay, lady. I’m a little drunk, to be honest.”

A little? That is what is going on. He is drunk. During the day. What?

“He is.. kind of in heart break” Harry whispers in my ear. “Leave it to me to deal with him. That’s why I wanted to come here in the first place..”

That messes with my head. Harry comes here to be there for his friend? He wants to help his friend, who is in the middle of a heart break? I did not think of him that way, but it surely surprises me in a very positive kind of way.

“I though you didn’t do friends” I wonder and watch him.

He nods. “I don’t. I said friend, but he is not. Much rather he is my brother and he needs me, as you can see. Are you mad?”

“Mad?” Why would I be? “Because you are here for your friend? Harry, that probably is the sweetest thing you could have done. I’m just surprised.”

“Yeah, I can guess why” he says and laughs awkwardly while running his hand over his neck. “Look, i normally don’t do that.. I own him, still, and I just-“

I kiss him right on his mouth and suck a little on his lower lip, before I pull back and stare straight into his green, green eyes. “You are doing the right thing and I am grateful to be here with you.”

His eyes light up. “Doing the right thing doesn’t mean everybody will be happy about it.”

“By?”

“Me” he grins and presses a kiss on my lips. “If you want me to quote someone, you will have to wait for me to find a good moment to do so.”

This is my boyfriend. He is not the Harry I met. He is my boyfriend. There is an entire personality in him now and I cannot believe how this happened of even that it did. He was there, then he went away and came back like that.

“Now leave me to do my job” he says and points towards a room. “You can go in there, it leads to the garden. Or you can go everywhere else. Just make sure you don’t leave the area accidently.”

“I guess I can handle myself” I let him now and watch him leave.

My feet carry me into the garden and I smile when I stand outside. Flowers everywhere. This is beautiful. And it reminds me of how my mother had loved flowers. She would adore this place. And she would be able to name every single plant. This would have been her dream come true and dad would have gone crazy over it, but loved her nevertheless.

I feel tears come to my eyes and then slowly run down my cheeks.

I miss them so much.
