Dangerous

Chapter 6

„Are you trying to tell me you slept with Harry three times in the past 24 hours?“ „Well … yes“ „Once in your bed, once in the shower and once in his bed?“ „Well … yes“ „We both use that shower, you know this?“ I laughed, „you couldn't even count the guys you had in there yet“ She went quiet and got up to make another coffee. „Well, excuse me“ I shook my head and laughed. „So you're girlfriend and boyfriend now?“, she asked as she gave me another hot chocolate. „I don't know“ „You don't know but yet you sleep three times with him?“ „Making love“, I correcter her, like Harry did me. „I wanna meet him again“ „Are you my mother?“ „Well, I need to check your guys“ I laughed, „but I still can't get over it that he's hiding something from me. I think he always knows me“ We already talked about everything that happened in the past 24 hours between Harry and me and Gaz and her. They are a couple now. „Ask him?“ „No, he would know that I heard how he talked to someone next to the copy room and that I heard him and Jack talking“ „Well, it's probably the only way you can find out“, she took a slip from her coffee. I stared into my cup, „maybe he's going to tell me sometime?“ „I can tell you already now, if you don't talk to him about it, what you probably don't, this will end up in a big fight, the biggest one you ever had and make you both cry and a break up“ I shook my head, „no, no Marcel told me I'm different“ Mara looked at me at it is was obvious, „Ask him if he knows you?“ „He said he'd kill him“ Mara laid her head into her hands. „This hot Niall dude? Or this hot Liam?“ „Stop calling them hot“ She sighed deeply and looked into the TV you could see from the kitchen“ „Yeah, right time to watch TV“ „No, no wait“, she mumbled, „this was an advert about a private detective“ She grinned at me. „Wha– no, no, no, no, no Mara! No!“ She sighed, „you're never going to– wait you said he told you that he and Gaz tell each other everything?“ She grinned at me as if she had a plan.

 

„Tell us, Gaz“ He leaned back and looked at me, „he's going to tell you sooner or later when you're a couple anyway.“ I looked at Mara, then back at him. „Does he see us as a couple yet?“ „Oh my god, ask him by yourself! I am not your Harry's–secrets–deliverer“ „I never said that, I am just asking you a simple question“ „You could ask him that by yourself, I mean you fucked three times“ „GAZ!", Mara shouted and slapped his shoulder. „What? I mean she doesn't make a big secret out of it, doesn't she“, he grinned cheeky at me and I just blushed and stared at the table. „But seriously, why can't you just tell me?“ He sighed, „because he's my friend and cousin and he trusts me, I mean you also wouldn't tell me something that Mara told you about me“ „Well if it was an emergency, I would“ „This isn't a fucking emergency“ „Pleeeeaaase Gaz!", I shouted and went on my knees. „I'll buy you everything you want“ „Katie, look, you know I really like you and I really like Harry and I really like you both together, but it belongs to a relationship that you can talk with him about these things“ „But he isn't telling me the things he's hiding from me!“ „He will“ I looked angry at him, „but when?!“ „Do I look like I can read his mind? No–one understands this boy, all you can do is love him!“ He made a break and smiled at me, „except your name is Katie, then you can fuck the shit out of him!“ „Gaz!“, Mara and I screamed at the same time and slapped him. He laughed and drank a slip of his Coke. „But all I can tell you, tonight's your pizza evening right?“ I sat up and my body stretched itself of excitement. „Yes?“ „He has something to do with this, but that's all I tell you“ „So I am different and he has something to do with our pizza evening. Wow this helps me so much“ „After tonight you'll thank me“ Mara looked questioning at me. „Are you coming with us?“ Gaz shook his head, „no, no do this by yourself“, he got up and kissed Mara. „I'll be back after your pizza evening, text me“ Then he left. „Well, we gout our table at seven“ Mara said. It was 6:20pm. „We got half a hour, deal?“ „Deal“

 

Maybe Harry was cooking here? Probably this, nothing else would make sense. My heart was beating like crazy. We sat at your usual table, waiting for someone to come to take our orders. „So you think he's cooking here? Makes sense. But how could he ever have seen you from the kitchen?“ „I don't know, maybe he's working as a waiter sometimes?“ „But then I would've seen him“ Mara stared at her glass. „Maybe not?“ Silence. „Yes, maybe“ I stared at the kitchen door where the waiter and waitress came out in the hope I could see Harry cooking when they opened the door or even that he came out. I sighed, but my mouth stayed open and I froze, because this time it was actually Harry to walk out. Our glances meet and we just stood there, frozen, staring at each other. He was wearing a black shirt, with black skinnies and a bit lighter apron. His mouth slowly closed and then he just turned around and went back into the kitchen. Oh no, this time he wouldn't get away. I got up and ran to the kitchen door. „Hey you can't–“, I heard someone screaming but I ignored the voice. „Where the fuck is Harry?!“, I screamed angry. „He just left“, a shy girl said. „Oh okay … thank you“, I said, faked a smile and left the kitchen.
