CHAPTER 18

Renny's Pov.

"Thanks Edie." I smiled as I got out of his car. "Of course Renny. See you tomorrow." He smiled as I shut the door and walked to apartment building.

It's been over a week since I've seen Harry or even heard from him. He hasn't been into the bar once and according to Edie, he's had a lot of business to handle. Whatever that means.

To be honest, it pisses me off. I ended things with Gerald that Sunday that he left my apartment. I told Gerald I just wasn't ready to be in anything and that things were seemingly getting blurred with us. Neither of us knew what was going on and I didn't like that. He was shocked and I could tell but after some talking, he accepted it. I could tell he wasn't very happy though. I even tried calling Harry that night but he never answered.

He's been radio silent since.

I walked up to the apartment and Audie and Mick were sitting on the couch watching tv.

"Hey bitch." Mick greeted and I rolled my eyes. "Want some food?" Audie asked and I nodded. "Yes please." "We ordered pizza. It's on the counter."

I sat my bag on the counter and pulled out a plate, setting a slice on it before sitting in the chair beside the couch.

"So how was work?" Audie asked, turning her attention to me. "Fine I guess." I shrugged, I mean nothing new. "Where's Harry been?" Mick chimed in.

I shrugged, taking a bite of my pizza and turning my attention to the tv where Shameless was playing.

"I don't know." "You don't know?" He asked and I shook my head. "You haven't seen him?" Audie asked with confusion and I shook my head again. "No. I haven't seen him since the morning he left here."

They both looked at me with furrowed brows.

"Doesn't he run the fucking bar you work at?" Audie asked and I nodded. "He's avoiding you." Mick chimed in again and Audie slapped his arm. "No, look. Remember what I told you that night Ren? About how he obviously has a thing for you and it's also obvious he has defense mechanisms? He probably freaked out that he was getting close to you." "Well maybe fucking communicate that with me." I spat, speaking more so to Harry but they understood.

Mick nodded, "I agree. Have you tried calling him?" "Just once. That night after I ended things with Gerald. He was so persistent on me doing it so I was gonna tell him I did but he's been radio silent and I haven't heard a peep from him."

Audies eyes narrowed.

"You should go to his apartment." "Fuck no." "You should! See what he's doing. I mean, why is he quiet? Even if Mick is right, still, he's gonna go to lengths such as avoiding his own business? That's childish. He's doing something. Find out what it is."
