Dangerous

Chapter 9

Louis and I have been talking for the past two hours now and it were good two hours, actually. We laughed a lot and got along really well. I trust him, I thought as we walked back from the restaurant he took me to. „I am glad I finally talked to you, I wanted to do it the whole week but never knew how“ I smiled and blushed a bit, „oh Louis“ Sometimes our hands brushed against each other, I'm not saying it felt bad but it was just too early. He touched me a lot and everything. „You know that you're really pretty and could have even better guys than Harry, or?“ „Oh my god Louis, stop with these compliments all the time!“, I made a little break as he chuckled, „I don't think I would ever want another guy than Harry“ „Aaah, don't be like that“, he said and put his arm around my shoulder. „Thanks for being there for me, Louis“, I thanked him. He grabbed my hand and stopped walking. „Of course I am here for you“ We smiled at each other and he slowly came closer to my head with his head. What was going on did he just really … no, no way. But he kept coming closer, until he was too close. „Louis, what are you doing?“, I asked without moving. „I thought that was the right moment, I …“ „No, Louis there will never be the right moment? I think you got it?!“ He put his hands on my hips, „oh common, just a kiss“ He came closer again. „Of course not, you idiot!“, I shouted and pushed him back and also took some steps back. „What the actual fuck, Louis. I thought you were that best friend guy!“ „Well, I am just not forever, you know. Every boy wants more after a time“ „No, just dicks and you are a dick, obviously“ „Oh common, just do it, it also went quite fast with Harry“ „Did … did he tell you about that?“, I asked scared. It seemed to me as if they weren't friends actually. Louis told me a bit about their friendship and well … „Oh common, girl, he tells everyone!“, he shouted, „you're just another girl to him! Or do you think he wouldn't already have talked to you about what happened yesterday?“ This was like someone slapped me a billion times. Right in the face. I felt a pain in my chest like I never felt before. All I could think about was, what Louis said right now and if it was true or not. „W–what?“, I stumbled with tears coming up into my eyes. „Yes, holy fuck, he got to bang you so fast, no–one expected that! And then three times in 24 hours, common! Don't be dumb! I think you knew that he bangs girls all the time, how could you think that you're special to him? You're nothing to him, Katie. I am trying to save you from him. He doesn't have any kind of respect of girls“ He slowly came closer. „No, get away from me“, I whispered. I couldn't talk because of the pain and the tears that rolled all over my cheeks. „Oh, Katie, I thought you knew this! It's obvious when you look at him! His tattoos, his piercings, even his hair!“ I couldn't move anymore because of all the pain that came up into me. I really thought I was something special to Harry. Was that why he went away that fast yesterday? Because there's no secret he's hiding from me? He really just wanted to sleep with me … wow. I could've lied down on the floor here and cry for hours, but no. I had to confront Harry. I needed to tell him what for an asshole he is. Without saying anything to Louis anymore, I turned around and walked back into the building, up the stairs, past many people, still crying. It couldn't tell if it was of the sadness or the rage anymore. And I didn't care in that moment. As I finally reached the hallway Harry was usually at, I saw him sitting on the floor with his head in his hands. „Stand up, you fucking asshole!“, I whispered aggressively. He looked up and as he saw me, his eyes widened and a smile appeared on his face. „Katie, I–“ „Shut the fuck up and follow me into the break room!“ He did as I told him and as he closed the door, I stood there, looking out of the window, turning my back to him. „Why, Harry?“, I asked, still under tears. „What?“, he asked emotions less. I turned around and looked into his confused face. „Why are you doing this to me? Why? Couldn't you just have told me that I am nothing to you?“ „What?!", he asked again, this time louder. „You know what I mean! Louis told me everything!“ „Oh god Louis, he whispered and took his face into hands again. „Don't you see it? He's a liar!“ „And you're, too obviously! You told everyone about it! About us. I thought I was special to you and not just one of your bitches“, I looked at the floor. I still couldn't believe this. This Harry. Harry. „Katie, I didn't tell anyone about it except my closest friends!“ „Well then you have a lot of close friends I guess. Everyone knows about it!“ „Louis told you that?“ I nodded, „yes! It was about time he did that! Everyone thinks I am a whore now! Well, probably“ „Did you ask anyone if they know about that?“ „No“ „Well, if you did and would pull your head of of Louis' arse, you'd realize that I didn't tell anyone about this! Katie, you are the most special girl I ever met and yes, I did hide things from you, but I'll be complete honest with you now. It all started like one year ago where I started working as a cook and–“ „What on earth is going on in here?!", a voice asked and then Harvey stood in the door. Shit. I covered my face and wiped the tears away, so I looked a bit normal. „Oh god guys, yesterday you came too late and today this. What even is going on between you both?“, he closed the door and sat down on the table. „Sit down guys“ We both sat down, opposite each other. „Alright, I know it's none of my business, but you can always talk to me if you want. You know, I want to be a good boss. I guess there's something going on between you like dating or seeing each other and what ever, go on like that just try not to get too much in fight, it's really important to me that my workers have a good connection to each other and get along. You, Katie, you are one of my best workers and I need you everywhere you can do something, I see your talent. Don't let yourself get fucked up by guys. And you“, he turned to Harry, „stop fucking up my best worker or otherwise you'll get in trouble with me. I'll tell people to stay out of here, so you can clear this what ever this is. But don't be too loud, I don't think you want everyone to hear, as Harry knows the people talk about everything here. But tomorrow everything's back to normal, don't forget Katie, it's still your first week. Ah, I just can't be rude to you guys“, he got up and turned around, „you know, if I wouldn't know you since years, Harry, you'd already be in lot of trouble“, then he left the room. As the door closed, Harry looked up to me. „Katie, I swear, you are special to me. I never would've done that.“ I looked at the table, before reacting. „I just … I think we shouldn't see each other for a few days. Like I need to get a clear mind.“ „I understand this, take your time.“ I nodded, „thanks“ I did believe him, his actions made me realize that Louis was lying. When we kissed up, when he kissed my body, I could feel his love. I did feel it. And I knew he wasn't lying, but I'd need some days to get over it. „But promise me you'll talk to me about your decision“, he mumbled, I could hear the pain in his voice. He didn't look up and I couldn't see his face anyway, because his curls covered it. I slowly got up, walking over to him and putting his head into both of my hands. He turned around on the chair, and looked deeply into my eyes. „Don't worry, I will“ Then I pulled his head against my chest and hugged him. He pulled me close, pressing my body against his. His arms were wrapped around my lower waist and he pressed me so bad, I almost couldn't breathe anymore. But it was a beautiful hub. I sobbed, let go, smiled lightly at him and then left the room. I heard a quiet „But I – I love you“, from him as I closed the door. I didn't think he thought I'd hear it.
