Perfect Coincidences

2 - The argument

I gasp sitting up pulling away the hair from my face. There was a loud knock on the door.

"one second!" i shouted hoping they would stop.

I quickly sorted myself out to look half decent and rushed to the door.

On the other side was Connor holding pizza. "it's tomorrow" he said shrugging.

I sighed moving away from the door. "we better be watching-

"10 things i hate about you" Connor said before i could finish.

Connor headed to the sofa whilst i got some drinks. Placing them on the table infront of us i then sat down next to the pizza.

"come here" Connor said patting part of the couch next to him.

I sighed snuggling up to him. We both grabbed some pizza and started watching the film.

Days like this have always been my favourite. Me and Connor always used to watch movies with pizza when we were younger. We'd always fight over who gets to pick but i always got my own way.

Connor had family issues when we were younger so he was always at mine. My family loves Connor like their own.

"how many times have you watched this movie now" Connor said with his arm around me. His fingers were tracing circles on my shoulder.

I shrugged grabbing another slice of pizza. "not enough times" i smiled looking up at him.

"yeah sure" he reached out putting his hands on my face. He slowly brushed his finger against the edge of my lip.

"you had some sauce" he said taking his hand away.

"oh thank you" i said turning my attention towards the movie again.

Eventually the credits came on and Connor got up. "toilet break."

Whilst i was waiting for him to come back there was a knock at the door.

"hey" Adam said kissing me on the cheek.

"Oh Adam hey sorry i didn't expect you" i said trying to look half decent"uh do you want to come in? It's a bit of a mess"

"no it's fine i was just going to take you to your shift but it looks like you are busy"

"sorry i had a late start to the day but thanks though!" i totally forgot i took an earlier shift today.

"Harps i need to get going soon i-  oh hello Adam" Connor had now entered the room.

"Connor" Adam said putting on a fake smile.

"Uh Connor and i were just watching a movie". i looked at Adam trying to figure out what he was thinking.

Connor jumped in. "yeah nothing to worry about just netflix and chill"

"Great well i best get going" Adam said heading away from my door.

I sighed turning around to Connor. "stay here" he smiled putting his hand out gesturing me to go.

I quickly walked out of my apartment catching up to Adam.

"Adam talk to me" he kept walking.

"Adam stop"

I grabbed his hand forcing him to look at me.

"What is wrong" i said crossing my arms.

"I don't know Harper i just don't think i can accept this friendship. I mean he is in love with you Haprper can you not see it!"

"Adam we are friends if he loved me we wouldn't be here now. I choose you Adam i love you."

" i don't know" he sighed.

"Adam just trust me on this one, please" i said looking up at him.

"fine, only because it's you Harper. Now i have to get to work i'll talk soon."

With that he got back into his car and left.

Me and Connor have been friends for eternity if anything it would be like dating my brother. I don't get what Adam sees.

I slowly made my way back to my apartment not wanting to talk about this to Connor.

I opened the door to see my apartment completely clean.

I gasped "Connor you are the best!"

"take this as an apology. I'm sorry if i crossed a line with Adam and if anything happens i take full responsibility".

"everything's fine between us now he just said some silly things". I said looking at the ground.

"well as long as your alright" he said holding my shoulders.

"i am" he pulled me into a hug.

"do you need a lift to work?" Connor asked.

"it's okay i need to get ready anyway". i said passing up the offer.

"okay if you need anything call me i'll be at work" he headed to the door.

" i will" i said. "bye"

As soon as the door shut i rushed into the bathroom and started to get ready. I only had 10 minutes.

Eventually i got out of the house and managed to get to work on time.
