Vindicate || Devilish Sequel

Capitŭlum Decem

Two weeks have passed since Harry had come back, and since we were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. 

Things have been great actually, which is a little weird and is giving me an uneasy feeling that something bad is going to happen. This much tranquillity is not something you have around Harry.

"Earth to Raiza!" I heard Dax saying as he moved a hand in front of my face. "Did you hear what I asked you?" I looked at him for a few seconds and blinked. He was talking to me? My boss shook his head and laughed. "I asked you if you were free tonight. The shift is almost over so maybe we could go eat something." He looked nervous and was acting strange.

"I was going to meet wi-"

"Please Raiza." The blonde guy pleadingly. "I really need to talk to you. We've known each other for a while now and I feel we have that kind of trust."

I bit my lip. I was supposed to meet Harry at 9; he was going to bring Chinese food for dinner with mum and then we would watch a movie. He had this idea that I needed to have 'typical human dates' so was really making some serious efforts. "Yeah I guess I could stay for an hour."

Dax suddenly hugged me tightly. "Thank you." 

I gave him some pads on the back and laughed. "It's ok. I'll go change and then meet you outside, ok?"

Once I was in the bathroom I texted Harry telling him I was going to be a little late for our date but there was no reason to worry. I took off my uniform and put my clothes on. 

"Ready." I said, closing the door. "Where are we going?"

"Let's just go to Nickel Diner."

I nodded. 

We got a table and a few minutes later the waiter came to take our order; I just ordered water since I was going to eat later.

"So what's bothering that mind of yours?" I asked him after taking a sip.

"Well... I really don't know how to say it." Dax said nervous. "Uhm... Where do I start?"

"Just take your time."

The blonde guy took a deep breath before speaking. "Ok, so... There's this person who I really like but I don't know if the feeling is mutual. And I don't know, maybe they have a boyfriend so I may be wasting my time on an unrequited love."

"Have you paid attention to some kind of signs that she might be interested in you?"

"The thing is that-"

Suddenly my phone started ringing. I quickly took it off my pocket and Harry's name was in the screen. "I'm sorry." I apologized hanging up. "It was my-" My phone ringing again cut me off.

"Don't worry, answer it." Dax said. "It must be important if they're calling again."

"Just give me a few minutes. I'm sorry." I stood up and went outside to take the call. 

"Why the fuck did you hang up?" I heard Harry saying. I knew he was controlling himself from yelling.

"Hello to you too. And I was busy." I said. "I told you I was going to be a bit late, babe."

"Where are you?"

"At a restaurant near where I work." I told him. "My boss needed to talk to me."

"At a restaurant?" He said, raising his voice. "What the fucking hell are you doing at a restaurant with your boss!? Why he took you there to talk to you!?"

"Don't yell at me. He needed to talk about something personal, Harry. That's all."

He started laughing. "Bloody Satan. I'm going to kill that piece of shit."
