"Kissed you once, now I can't leave"

Darlene's POV

After clearing things up with Harry and getting all the shit off my chest to Maya, I finally feel like things are settling down a bit.

Despite having to get up early this morning for work, It wasn't all too bad because I got to work with Niall. Like I said earlier, he makes any shift more tolerable. We only had a few more minutes in this horrible heat before we were set free from the people coming in for the second shift.

"Do you know who's coming in for the next shift" Niall questions impatiently.

"Not a clue, but if I have to stand in this heat for another minute I'm gonna collapse" I complain.

As if the universe heard our pleas, Macie walks into the pool area waving at us. Niall and I both wave back politely as she made our way over to us.

"Before you guys leave, I don't have either of your numbers so I wanted to invite you in person. I'm having a bonfire next Tuesday. There's gonna be drinks and you know of course partying, it's going to be fun, and I'd love it if you guys could come. I'm inviting everyone from work and a bunch of my college friends." Macie explains with a sweet smile on her face. 

"Ooo sounds fun, I'm in" I answer back excitedly.

"You had me 'there's gonna be drinks'" Niall answers back in enthusiasm.

Though I don't know Macie that well, It was nice of her to invite me to her party regardless so maybe I should try and talk to her more.

"What are you guys talking about" Harry approaches the three of us.

Great, of course he's working right now. It's not that I am avoiding him, well maybe I am a little bit, but I still don't exactly know how to act around him.

Macie turns to Harry, "Oh perfect! I'm having a bonfire on Tuesday. Gonna be drinks, I'm inviting load of people and everyone from work. You in?" She questions looking at Harry.

"Of course" Harry answers back and I can't help but notice the blush that appears on Macies face.

Just great. As if my feelings weren't already confusing enough now I want to strangle this seemingly sweet girl for blushing at Harry. I'm not the jealous type but the thought of Harry spending the next couple hours working with Macie is now making my anger rise.

"Good I was hoping you'd say yes, I really wanted you to be there" She says back, batting her eyes at him.

I literally have no right to be angry, but here I am....angry. It's not like I have some claim on Harry and it's not like Macie is aware of anything that's happened with him and I. I can't blame her, I mean he's hot and she's pretty. 

Fuck. She's pretty...Great. Have they fucked before? I know he's hooked up with a lot of girls who work here. My mind begins reeling with all these ideas, my stupid brain making up multiple storylines of Harry and Macies relationship. I can't just ask Harry about it either, that would boost is ego too much.

"You okay there Darlene" Harry says squinting his eyes due to the sun.

I snap out of my thoughts,

"Yeah, heat is just killing me. Since you two are here I'm gonna just go" I say quickly waving a goodbye as I begin walking out of the pool area.

Niall jogs up behind me shortly after, following me through the employees office.
