I walked back into my condo to see Charlie smiling like there was something funny about what just went down.
“What the hell is so funny?” I slammed my front door.
Charlie sobered up quick. “Look, I’m just surprised that you would even fall for some guy like him.” He pointed towards the door.
“What does that mean?”
“I mean the guy looks like that boy from that band called…what’s it name.” snapping his fingers trying to recall the name. “One something”
I rolled my eyes. “One Direction”
“Yeah that band”
I shook my head. “Well maybe because that was Harry Styles from One Direction.”
Charlie smiled died on his face. “You’re kidding me right?”
I shook my head “No I’m not”
Charlie turned and sat down on my sofa in a huff. “How did you meet him?”
“I met him when I was running.”
Charlie stared at me in disbelief. “Really, running?”
“Yeah”
Charlie was quite for a few moments. “So you slept with him?”
I couldn’t look at Charlie when I answered. “Yeah”
Even though I wasn’t with Charlie anymore it felt strange admitting that I slept with someone else. Even though I’m pretty sure he has slept with a horde of woman since we split up.
Charlie sat silently. “Do you really like this guy?”
I groaned loudly. “I don’t know I just met him.”
“That’s my point exactly! You slept with him to soon.”
I jerked back in shock. “Look who’s talking, you probably slept with a handful of girls since we broke up.”
Charlie stared at me silently.
I wasn’t getting a good feeling about this. “Are you serious?”
As a heart attack”
I was shocked. “You haven’t slept with anyone else since we broke up?’
He squirmed into the couch. “It isn’t like I didn’t try. I just couldn’t.”
I couldn’t believe Charlie “The Playa” hadn’t slept with a woman for a month. I was afraid to ask my next question but I had to know the answer.
“Is it because of me?’
Charlie looked into my eyes and answered. “Yes”
I felt like my whole world dropped from under me. I can’t deal with this right now. I felt like I was going to pass out and Charlie guided me to the couch to sit down.
“Didn’t know that revelation would cause you to pass out, damn didn’t know you thought so low of me.”
I gave him a crazy look. “Low of you, you have never had to sleep alone, you could have any woman you want.”
“The one woman I want is playing hard to get.”
Could he make this harder? I reluctantly looked at him and what I saw scared me. He was looking at me like I was the last drink of water in a dry desert. I closed my eyes hoping that this was a nightmare and when I opened them I would wake up to a completely different life.
“What are you thinking about?” He asked
I breathed a heavy sigh. “Nothing”
“Just talk to me Sky.” He moved really close to me and placed his arm around my shoulders. My body leaned into him and I laid my head on his shoulder. Charlie didn’t say anything, he just held me. I need to be held.
After Charlie left I pulled out me sketch pad, sat down on the couch and drew a picture of the first thing that came to my mind Harry.
Why I was thinking about his cranky ass, I didn’t know but there was just something about him that captured me. Even after our fight I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so bitchy and listened to why he had to leave this morning instead of yelling at him.
As I was sketching my phone rang and I leaned over the couch to answer it but it stopped ringing. No more then a second after someone was banging at my front door. The banging was loud that it scared the hell out me. I reluctantly approached the door and asked who was there. The knocking stopped and there was dead silence. I checked my peephole and there was no one there. I back up and turn around when the banging started up again, but this time it was louder. I froze in fear and took off down the hallway to my bedroom. I locked the door and grabbed my cell phone. I sat on my bed thinking of who I could call and I quickly remembered Harry and what he said to me “I’m her for you if you need me.” I quickly looked thru my in coming calls and found the number that he used to call me earlier. I dialed talk on my phone.
As I walked to my car parked outside of Sky’s condo I still couldn’t believe that she had some other guy in her apartment not even an hour after I left. God, I can make some stupid mistakes. I thought she was different, she seemed so right for me.
I jumped into my car and slammed the door. I didn’t need this shit. I just came from a meeting with Luther and Simon. It looks like whoever is stalking me sent some disturbing letters to Simon about what they wanted to do to me and believe me it was nothing nice. Damn! I was tired of being away from my boys and my mum. I need to get back into things and quick. I drove to Luther house not having anywhere else to go and parked my car in the driveway. I got out and unlocked the front door.
“Harry is that you?” I hear Luther shouting from somewhere in the house.
I grumbled “Yeah” and took the winding staircase steps two at a time. I reached the room I was staying in and fell onto the bed. Looking up at the ceiling I wondered if Charlie was still at Sky’s house. I groaned, just thinking about her made me want her more. I needed someone to get my mind off of her. As I laid there I thought about all of the girls I had met since becoming famous and not one of them could touch Sky’s beauty. She was so sexy and didn’t know it. Just knowing that made her even more beautiful to me. Her voice, her laugh, her beautiful caramel skin, they way she pants when she’s really excited. Everything about this girl was hot. I closed my eyes and tried to erase her from my mind. It wasn’t long after that sleep took over and I dreamed about my Sky.
I woke to the sound of my cell phone ringing. I grabbed the phone off the bed and slide the bar to talk.
“Hello”
“Harry”
I sat up on the bed. “Is this Sky? What’s wrong?”
She sounded scared out of her mind.
“I know you probably hate me right now but can you come to my house?”
“Why?”
“Someone is playing games with me and I’m scared.”
“What games?”
“Someone keeps calling me and then hanging up and not a second later someone is knocking at my front door. When I look thru the peep hole there is no one there. I’m so scared.”
I scurried off the bed and grabbed my car keys. “I’m on my way.”
“Thank you.”
I hung up the phone and ran out of the house to my car.
My Sky was scared and there was nothing that was going to stop me from being there for her.
