Chapter Eleven

"How have you not had an iced coffee before?" I giggled, watching him take his first sip. 

"I don't know but I deeply regret never ordering one." I laughed as we slowly walked back to the office. We'd been out just over an hour. Had a coffee and something to eat and then ordered another coffee for the walk back. It really was easy talking to Harry. Like talking to an old friend. We just kind of slipped straight into it. Second nature. 

"Told you." I smirked, sipping my own. "Life changing." 

"I mean, I'll still order my own drink but yeah I'd drink this again over summer." I nodded, turning back to the path. "Speaking of summer. What are you doing if they're not here? And you can't say work." His laugh was sweet. Almost like a low giggle. 

"I haven't even a clue what to do this weekend. I might take a trip back up home for a few days but other than that." I shrugged. 

"Where's home?" 

"You're really asking?" 

"I mean I can guess Yorkshire. But where abouts?" He chuckled. 

"A little village in the Dales." 

"Oh I love the Dales." 

"Really?" 

"How could you not? Have you ever been to Wensleydale?" 

"Yes! Home is like a 40 minute drive from there, around Ingleborough." 

"Oh you're really up in the Dales then?"

"Clapham, yeah." 

"I can't say I've been."

"Its a proper Yorkshire town. Stone bridges, sheep in the street sometimes." I smiled. 

"You love it don't you?" 

"So bad." I nodded. "I love being in the city and everything but being out there just hits different you know? It's the perfect break over summer." 

"You should go." 

"I don't think I can be spared." I shrugged. "I will go at some point this summer. Probably September time." 

"That's not summer Lil. Besides isn't your birthday over summer? I remember them throwing you a party last year?" 

"Oh that was mad. That night drinking. Never again." I chuckled, holding onto my head. "That was my 24th birthday so I can only imagine Erica going well over the top this year." 

"Wait your 25 this time around? And you were just going to work it?" 

"Well I can't really take it off in the middle of all these projects." 

"You have to!" I put my straw in my mouth, raising my eyebrows as I drunk. "I'll talk to Erica myself if I have to." 

"Don't you dare." 

"What are you two talking about?" I looked up at Erica's grin as she stared at me, crossing her arms with an attitude. 

"Her birthday." I rolled my eyes. "She is refusing to take time off."  We were stood now, me and Erica staring at each other as she grinned. I knew what she was thinking. "We'd be okay without her for a week wouldn't we?" 

"She could take 6 months off and we'd be fine." 

"Oh well that's good to hear." I spun around, dropping my coffee to the floor. "No excuse not to come then?" So apparently I didn't know what Erica was thinking. That's why she was smirking. God I'll kill her myself. 

"Um." I turned to Erica who smirked. "You would not be fine without me for 6 months." 

"You'd be working whilst you're away Lil."
