*****************************************************************

Lunch time starts and Harry and I help my aunt, as always. The café gets full of tourists from differents parts of the world. There is this chinese couple sitting next to the window and an arabic family in the opposite table. Harry's now serving their orders to a french group of tourists. There are so many things I want to know and visit.

Lunch time ends and I'm exhausted. I sit down on the counter and my aunt turns the sign of the door, it's quarter to six and it feels like it was ten in the evening.

- I'm exhausted.- I groan and lie down on the counter. Harry looks at me blushed and looks away.

- Eleanor, get out of the counter, for goodness sake.- My aunt complains and then both of us laugh.

- I'm exhausted!!- I repeat a little louder.

- Sit down on a chair, please.- She sais and I sit down on Mr.Moore's chair. Harry's sat on the same chair as yesterday. I'm in a good mood now, I hope he doesn't ruin it with one of his games or jokes or whatever he was doing. I lean my head to the cold glass. Harry looks at me and I remember what he told me about telling him to stop if that bothered me.

- Stop it.- I say.

- What?- He answers back.

- Looking at me.- I can see on his expression that he remembers what he told me and smiles at me. He shrugs and I look out the window again. He keeps looking at me. I take a deep breath and pretend I don't know he does.

- Would you mind count the money and clean and all that stuff with Harry? I need to do some shopping, we're running out of bread, napkins...and well...some other things. Would you help me, please?- My aunt puts on her coat.

- Sure.- Harry says and I nod at her.

- Thank you so much, dear.- She kisses me on the cheek and does the same thing to Harry before reaching the door.- Wait for me at home when you've finished.- I nod again and she goes.

- I'm in a good mood now, Harry and I'm even begging you not to ruin it, okay?- I say and he puts his arms in the air, making me laugh and then he joins me.

- Did I make you feel nervous now?- He smirks and I roll my eyes without answering the question.

- I think that feeling stared is one of the most uncomfortable feelings, not just for me, but for...everyone?

- But tell me, did I make you feel nervous or uncomfortable?- He smirks.

- Harry, don't start that again.

- Oh come on... sense of humor, remember? If this is a simple question why don't you want to answer?- He knows what he's doing, I know what he's doing.

- It was annoying.- I say.

- It was?

- It is annoying when you do that too.

- It is?- He teases and I softly punch his arm, making him laugh.

- Take a broom, I'll count the money an wash the dishes.

- Okay...- He groans and starts sweeping the floor as I count the money and wash the dishes.- Let me help you.- He offers and I step to the right letting him stand by my side. He starts washing some glasses, playing with the lather.

- Concentrate, please, I really want to go home now, I need to sleep.- He stops and then unexpectedly he puts some lather on my nose and I close my eyes stepping back.- Why did you do that?- I start laughing hard when I see him with some lather on his face too, he joins me and I start lather on him and he does just the same. His laugh makes me laugh even harder, he has a really weird, yet so funny laugh, I like it. He keeps laughing and accidentally I drop some soap on his eyes, making him groan while he steps back with his hnd on his closed, irritated eye.- Oh my god, I'm so sorry, are you okay? I'm sorry...- I repeat constantly, I wet a napkin and put it on his eye, carefully.- Are you okay?

- Yeah sure, don't worry I'm okay.

- You sure?

- Yeah, it was just a little soap.- He says. He looks at me with his eye red, it makes his eye look greener, like... a brighter tone of green.

- Sorry again.

- It was an accident. Let's clean this up, I'll go with you to your house.

- You can have a shower if you want.- Did I just invited him to take a shower at my house? He smiles and I start cleaning the floor full of soap. Once we're finished I wash my face trying not to ruin my makeup and we leave after switching off the lights and stuff. It's seven o'clock now and the sky's already dark.

I guide him to my house and let him enter.

- I like your house.- I smile.

- Thank you, you can have a seat on the sofa, I'm taking a shower, be right back.- I take a hot shower quickly without washing my hair, just so Harry doesn't have to wait for so long. I put on a black tight t-shirt and a pair of black polka dot pants. I put my hair up in a bun and put on a pair of shocks. I tidy up the bathroom and go downstairs.- Your turn.- I say and he turns around.- I'll show you were the bathroom is.- I move my hand for him to follow me. We go upstairs and I point him the door where the bathroom is.- Here, there is the shower gel and shampoo in case you want to wash your hair aswell.- I'm against the opened door and he's behind me, I can feel him looking down my breast and I quickly turn around and leave.
