Brooklyn Baby - H.S

Part Nine

I woke up this morning confused and on edge about the situation that occurred yesterday evening.

Harry is hiding something from me, something big, and I feel like I need to find out what it is somehow, he knows he can trust me so I don't understand why he's hiding something from me.

If he did want anything to happen between us, he needs to communicate with me and tell me things otherwise, it isn't going to work out.

The thing that is crossing my mind most is that it can't be a good thing if he's wanting to hide it away from me so badly.

He just seemed so tense when his friend Liam came over and said he wanted to talk to him about something but, shut him down because I was there.

And the way Liam was sexualising me but as soon as Harry said 'No' sternly he stopped almost immediately, it was just very odd.

It could have just been Harry being protective over me which I am fine with, but it still doesn't answer why he wouldn't talk about his work in front of me.

It's not like I would judge him for anything if it were something bad, depending on what it is of course.

But we all do shitty things, I mean my life isn't all sunshine and rainbows it's a fucking shitshow.

And the fact he keeps pushing these killings to the side, he says he can protect me and Gen but, how is he meant to do that when he's not going to be around all the time.

I against the window outside of work smoking the rest of my cigarette before I go into work and hear what she has to say about Harry staying at mine.

I take the last drag of my cigarette and throw the end on the floor and walk into work.

I just can't stop thinking about everything happening right now and it doesn't help that my feelings for Harry are growing daily and becoming stronger.

I walk around the counter and sling my jacket onto the countertop to go see Gen in the kitchen.

I make my way into the kitchen to see Gen cooking up pancakes and dancing to music, this is her natural state when she's at work.

"Hey!" I walk up to her shouting over the music that's playing full blast, she turns around and smiles widely at me.

"Hey, I didn't hear you come in!" she shouts at me, I shake my head and laugh "I wonder why?" I say pointing to the radio in front of her.

She follows my finger with her eyes and grabs the volume knob to turn it all the way down, she giggles "sorry I got too into it" she says.

"So, what's this about Harry staying at yours?" she raises a brow at me, that didn't take her long to investigate on what happened the other night.

"From what I remember, he was waiting for me when I go home the other night, Louis walked me home and Harry was pissed that I was with another guy when nothing even happened between me and Louis." I explain to her still trying to remember everything that happened.

"From there I can't remember much but Harry walking me up to my apartment and I must've invited him in, he slept on the sofa and I swear to god I nearly went into cardiac arrest when I saw him lying on the sofa in the morning" I lean against the counter beside her.

"So you didn't have sex?" she questions I look to her with furrowed brows, this girl is fucking obsessed with sex "no, we didn't" I shake my head at her owning a laugh from Gen.

"I cant wait for the day you come bouncing in here and tell me how good the sex with him felt" she says flipping a pancake grabbing a plate from the side to put the pancakes on.
