Use Somebody

Chapter 37:

Zayn's POV:

It was already two and Harry still wasn't here. He never did have great time management. When I left for my trip around America, Harry was working on a website. I wonder if he ever got it put up. I pull out my phone and search it, I find it and it looks really good. The lettering was aligned perfectly and when you clicked on something, it didn't prompt you to buy a piece of the Amazon Rainforest like it did originally.

"I'm Kevin, can I get you anything?" The waiter prompts.

"Not yet, my friend will be here shortly." I answer still looking at Harry's website.

"Can I have your friend's name so I could send him your way when he arrives." Kevin asks.

"Harry." I say glancing up for a short while.

There was something off when I said Harry's name. Like it struck a nerve or it was exactly what he was looking for. The waiter walked off and didn't come back for quite a while. It was probably twenty more minutes when Harry finally arrives.

"I'm so sorry I'm late." Harry says.

His hair was a tousled mess and his shirt's buttons were unaligned. His cheeks were flushed and his lips swollen and eyes glossed over.

"Have fun?" I prompt.

"Louis was trying to make it to work on time and I had to make his lunch." Harry defends himself.

"Looks like he already ate lunch." I say hinting at him.

"Hi, are you ready?" Kevin says with the notepad in his hand.

"Just coffee for me." I tell him.

"I'll have tea and just something to eat, whatever the chef wants to make." Harry says.

Kevin walks off and goes to get what we ordered.

We sit there and just watch the cars go by. I see an ambulance go by and watch as Harry fonds over the ambulance rushing past.

"What does Louis do, other than you?" I ask.

"He's a labor and delivery doctor. He delivered my baby." He says turning his attention back to me.

"I didn't know you had a baby." I say puzzled.

"I don't. I said he delivered my baby, I never said I have a baby. Nick killed the baby. I never got to see him. Louis made sure I wasn't ever in any unnecessary pain. We met again on a blind date set up by our sisters and we just hit it off so well. He came by my bakery unknowingly the next day. It was like a scene out of a movie." Harry says with his eyes glowing.

"I'm not sure if you know this but you're glowing." I tell him which causes him to blush.

At this point the waiter is back with drinks and Harry's food. He places the drinks down in front of us and Harry's food down in front of him. I grab my cup and take a drink from it. Harry takes the knife and slices the sandwich they brought him. His face turns.

"They put mayonnaise on it." He says.

"Harry, you like mayonnaise, what's the problem?" I question.

"It makes me nauseous." Harry whines.

I grab his sandwich and take a napkin and wipe the mayonnaise off of it and hand it back to him. He looks at it and takes a bite of it and smiles. I must have gotten it since he was happy now. I see someone bump his chair on accident and his chest gets run into the table. I watch as he winces.

"What hurts?" I say to an astonished Harry.

"Nothing." He lies.

He never was good at lying. I look at him and see his face was still twisted a little bit.

"It's my stomach. It's nothing to worry about though. " Harry says not sounding too convincing.

I shrug my shoulders and watch as he finishes eating. I never knew him to eat anything after lunch but before dinner. So watching him do so was a little out of the ordinary.

"How's the bakery?"

"Good, I got the website running and I have an extra set of hands to help me." He says sipping his tea.

---

I left him for five minutes to go to the bathroom and he was gone. I didn't see where he went but he also wasn't feeling well. I assumed that he went home. I look around at our table and didn't see any of his things so I just went home. Something seemed odd though, Harry always pays and says goodbye but this time he just left.

Something was definitely wrong.
