I'm Yours [h.s]

Chapter 11 ~Alone at last~

~Alone at last~

Waking up this morning with a smile on my face I glanced at the clock beside me lazily. My eyes widened in surprise, it was 02:18 in the evening. Jumping out of bed I ignored the fact that I was still in my boxers and shirt and went out of my room taking the short walk downstairs.

“Well, glad you decided to join us Harry” Gemma said as I passed the living room. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I glanced at who’s occupying the living room. Molly was sitting cross legged on the couch while braiding Gemma’s hair.

“Shut up Gemma” I mumbled and sat on the comfortable love seat. Moving my hair from my eyes I smiled at Molly as she smiled back at me.

I woke up with a smile because I know I enjoyed my time with little Molly. She was by no doubt a fun person to hang out with, or talk to until dawn. Yes… dawn. We possessed the time we spoke together to bond during the night, and we found out we actually have a lot in common.

Our mutual hate for vanilla and our love for Iron man was definitely something in common.

“Why are you up late anyway?” Gemma inquired while glancing between me and Molly.

“Reading” I said immediately looking at Molly. She kept her gaze on Gemma’s hair in concentration furrowing her eye brows. I don’t know if my mind was playing games, but after I said that I felt Molly was trying to avoid my gaze.

Yes, I lied indeed. I didn’t need Gemma to be the new person to tease me about Molly – and start having unnecessary thoughts. The only connection between Molly and I was friendship bonding, and nothing else.

“Molly and I are going dress shopping today, Robin has work, and mum will be late for her book club” Gemma interrupted my thoughts, “You’re on your own today Harry”

Jumping off the couch with absolute excitement I shot both my hands in the air and yelped. “YES!” I shouted, “Finally” I banged my head resulting in my loose curls into an untidy mishap.

Giggles erupted from both my sister and Molly. Allowing myself to fall on the comfortable couch, I stretched my long hands and legs and closed my eyes letting out a yawn.

“You just woke up lazy” a pillow was thrown at me from one of the evil females. My eyes shot open as I glared at both females and walked away from them satisfied that I will finally be spending a day alone away from any females.

Cheshire didn’t change at all since the last time I have been there. It wasn’t as busy as London; it was a small non crowded place. That’s why I love coming here. Adjusting the fedora on my head and slipping the glasses further upwards my nose, I dug my numb fingers into the pockets of my coat.

As cold as it actually was, I didn’t bother taking my car anywhere. I felt like I needed fresh air – fresh cold freezing air.

I needed this. I needed cold air to numb my feelings aside. My mind was nearing explosion thinking about how much I miss Lora. And regret is killing me, because my unconscious mind dared to allow itself to think about Molly while I was thinking about Lora.

Disappointment.

Was I trying to replace Lora by Molly? Of course not. Lora cannot be replaced. She was one of a kind – and I would like it to remain that way.

Irreplaceable that’s for sure.

The bakery that I used to work in came in sight. I smiled at the small place – still not changed. Opening the door, the bell that used to ding every time I used to come inside moved and alerted whoever was inside that a customer has arrived.
