" Broken Love " H.S (#Wattys2015)

Chapter fifteen

They chose the same Chinese restaurant for dinner which I didn’t mind because they serve really good food. Tom, Mack , Erick and I got out from the car whereas harry car was already parked and they were inside, four us walked in and looked for harry and the rest, they were sitting at the back of the restaurant and the lights were dim at the corner and I liked it somewhat romantic. We started settling down chase and jasmine were sitting together and harry and Stella were on the opposite side, the other boys rushed and took their seats and lastly Mack and I were left.

" Christy get in and sit next to harry and then I can sit", he said

 "You get in and then I will sit next to you", I said nervously I really didn’t want to sit next to harry

" No I am going to sit at the corner I will be squished between you and harry, so please get in", he said smiling

" Fine", I said and sat next to harry and it was kind of weird because harry was sitting between Stella and I. as I sat down harry flinched I just hope we finish the dinner as soon as possible I can’t sit next to him for  long. We all ordered our food, I ordered dumpling for myself and the rest of the boys ordered different dishes. I just sat there listening to their conversations.

" Hey why are you so quite"? Erick asked

" Nothing I am just listening to you guys, I am not much of a talker", I said sheepishly, I saw a smirk on harry face

" So how’s college? Enjoying", Tom asked

" Yeah it’s fun, I just hope you will help me with all the notes", I said smiling

" Yeah sure, I will be happy to help you", he smiles back

 The waiter got our order and we all started eating, whereas chase was busy hogging his food and I was enjoying my dumpling, harry was eating noodles and the way he was struggling to have it with chopsticks was funny and I giggled.

" What’s so funny"? Harry asks harshly

" You can always use a fork if you’re not good at using chopstick", I said chuckling

" He’s been trying to work a magic with this chopsticks from a long time", tom said laughing and rest of us laughed along. I can see a hint of redness in his cheeks due to embarrassment.

" You guys should mind your own business and I can use chopsticks", he said and took a dumpling from my plate with the chopsticks and smiled at his win

 I just rolled my eyes and started eating. I was finishing my last dumpling when suddenly harry grabbed my hand under the table and I was about to choke on my food so I quickly grabbed a glass of water with my left hand because harry won’t let go off my other hand and I saw him smirking and I drank the water and looked at harry with anger in my eyes. I tried pulling my hand away but his grip was so tight, he was surely going to hurt my hand .

I gave up because if I tried pulling out from his grip it was going to hurt me more, so I just sat back and after a while he loosened the grip and just held my hand lightly. I looked at him but he was speaking to Stella, I wanted to take my hand away but it felt so right at the moment, I mean we are not a couple or anything but him holding my hand this way was better than the forceful grip, he squeezed my hand in between and I just held on tight, he looked at me for a quick few seconds and looked away, what was I doing, why am I still holding his hand, have I lost it, I thought to myself and quickly took my hand away.

" Hey Mack I need to go and use the washroom", I said getting up from my place and he got up from his seat and gave me a way.

 I asked the waiter the way to the washroom and he showed me, I thanked him and got in. I looked at myself in the mirror and thought whatever I did outside was wrong and I am sure he got a wrong idea. As far I am with Stella I can never get rid of him, I thought to myself. I just applied a lip gloss, did my hair and went out. They were all getting up from their seat and I walked towards Stella, harry was paying the bill, while the rest of us walked to the car. This time I had to get in harry car because he was the one who’s going to drop us to the hostel so we all said bye to the boys and they drove away. Meanwhile harry came out from the restaurant and unlocked the car.
