I backed away slowly looking at the black object Harry was pulling out from his pockets. Why would he have a gun? Why would he 'need' it?
"Harry" I said my stomach feeling weak. "Why do you have a gun?"
But he was paying me no attention but looking up at the figure that was approaching us. He was a tall muscular man that looked like he was on steroids. Tattoos covered his body up and down and on his face was this big scar that went from his left eye to his bottom lip. His eyes were dark green with bags underneath them and short jet black hair that was slicked back.
"I've missed you lad" said the tall man." Where have ya been?"
Harry didn't say anything but continuously stare at the man.
"You look tense what's wrong?" the man said.
"Why are you following us?" Harry said but his voice seemed even deeper and darker.
"Just checking up on you mate, you know the boys and I have been missin ya"
'The boys?' I said to myself.
" I told you I was done with that shit" Harry continued.
"We need ya to come back..just for one more little job"
"I said no!" Harry's hand started to grip the gun behind his back even tighter.
The mans face started to clench up.He look at Harry for a minute the smirked and looked at me. My heart dropped.
"And who's this pretty thing?" the man said taking a step forward looking me up and down. I pulled my sweater down a little.
"That's none of your business" Harry said standing next to me.
"Don't worry kid" the man said stroking a piece of my hair."I wouldn't hurt one little hair on her head."
"Don't touch her" Harry started to breathe faster. I could tell because his face was turning red.
The man could tell he was pissing Harry off so he continued to play in my hair. I didn't move because I was afraid.
Harry pushed the man away from me and took the safety off the gun. I looked down at the gun then looked up and he was staring at me like he knew what I was looking at.
"Maybe you need to leave" Harry said with an even deeper voice.
The man lifted both hands and said "I just wanted to see how my old friend has been doing" and reached behind Harry to grab my hand. He bent down to kiss it but Harry grabbed my hand and pulled me back.
"I said don't touch her"
"Ok, ok" he said backing up. He stepped up to Harry and whispered "Another time" and walked away.
When he left I looked up at Harry to see if he would say anything, but he didn't. He stuck the gun back into his pocket and reached out for my hand. He had a weird look on his face when I refused to grab it. He put his hand down and grabbed our bags as we started to walk off in the other direction. Every few minutes I would look up at him to see if he was alright. This time when I looked up at him he seemed a little traumatized. He didn't say anything which surprised me. I walked up behind him and slid my hand inside of his. He looked down at me confused and I gave him a grin which made him smile.
After about 15 minutes I stopped walking and turned to Harry which mad him stop.
"Look..." I said nervousness in my voice."I don't know what happened back there but thanks."
"Thanks for what?" he said looking me in the eyes.
"For ya know..kind of protecting me I guess I don't know" I looked down and smiled.
He didn't say anything but just looked up and smirked. "Come on" he said reaching out for my hand let's get you home.
We made it to the house and I unlocked the door and stepped into the house and turned around.He was still standing on the doormat.
"You can come in if you want"
"I know...remember last time?" a grin grew on his face. "But I think I should go home" he walked into the house and planted a kiss on my lips. I would've hesitated any other time but I thought I'd give it a rest.
"Ya know if your gonna keep doing this you might as well ask me out" I laughed. He looked down and smiled. I gave him a hug and whispered "Thank you" into his ear.
"I'll text you later" he said.
I closed the door and walked up to my room and flopped onto my bed.
