"Are you sure you don't wanna come in?" Harry and I are sitting in his car outside of mine and Cynthia's apartment. Jethro said he'd come by and then maybe him and I would go out.
"Positive." He smiles. "I had a nice night, some parts of the day were nice." He gives a slight laugh.
"I did, too." I return the smile.
"See you tomorrow?" He asks.
"What's tomorrow?"
"Tuesday."
"I have work." I thought he remembered.
"Yeah, so?"
"I have to go to work." I laugh.
"I'll pick you up after work, silly." He insists.
"Alright." I give in. I won't mind seeing him again. And after a long day of work it might be nice to relax with someone other than Cynthia. I still have to tell Cynthia everything before Jethro comes by.
"So I'll see you tomorrow, love." He leans over and kisses my lips. A short, slow, goodbye kiss.
"You will." I smile while I pull away.
"I'll bring your suitcase."
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave it there." I put my hand over my face. I feel bad for looking irresponsible and leaving my things there.
"Don't worry about it." He laughs and kisses me again.
"Thanks for everything, Harry." I get out of his car and close the door, the window is open so we can still hear each other.
"Anytime, Bella." He smiles. "I'll call you later." He starts his car again.
"Maybe I'll answer." I start to walk away from his car.
"You better." I hear him laugh.
I blow him a kiss and he pretends to catch it as I walk up the pathway to the door.
Once I'm inside, Harry pulls away.
"There you are." Cynthia says from her seat on the couch.
"Here I am." I laugh and place my bags down taking a seat next to her.
"So.." She drags out.
"So?" I mock her.
"What happened? I wanna know everything." She lowers the TV a bit and faces me.
"I'll tell you later, Jeth will be here soon."
"Just give me a summary!" She's eager.
"If I can't give details then just wait for later!"
"No, ass. I wanna know now. I've been waiting three hundred years."
"Quite an exaggeration."
"Shut up. Tell me! Sex?"
"No, Cynthia!" I laugh. That seems to be her only interest with mine and Harry's relationship. It's as if the majority of my friends want me to just lose my virginity so I'm not a "loser" anymore, except Jethro of course. "But, something did happen." I tell her.
"Making out isn't really something, Bella."
"I mean, we did that too."
"Oh! So it really was something?"
"Yeah." I drag. "He uh, he pleasured me down there." I move my hands around.
"He fingered you?" She gushes.
"Do we have to say it like that?" I laugh and cover my face.
It just creeps me out for some reason. Doesn't seem as nice as it feels.
"But yeah, he did. And like, with his mouth."
"Shit Bella!" She slaps my arm. "Was it good?"
"Though I have nothing to compare it to, yeah it was good. Really good." I laugh.
"I can't believe it! Oh, Jethro is gonna kill him." She laughs.
"Jethro won't find out."
"Jethro won't find out what?" We didn't even hear the door open and now Jethros closing it.
"That Niall and I made a bet that you would get fat within the next two months." Cynthia quickly covers.
"Stupid bet." He laughs and walks over to us, saying 'hi' and kissing our cheeks.
"Speaking of Niall, I'm actually gonna head over to his house. I was supposed to be there twenty minutes ago." She laughs and grabs her bag from the side.
"See you guys later!" She calls and walks out.
"And then there were two." I try to lighten the tension but it doesn't seem to work much.
I can just tell he's upset with me. He has that speck in his eye, when you can tell someone's upset. The tone of his voice proved he wasn't pleased but he's my best friend, I know when he's upset.
"You okay?" I ask.
"Oh, yeah. Yeah I'm good."
"How was your day?" I ask him.
"It was alright. I did nothing, really. Just lounged around and then Max came over with some sandwiches." He laughs.
"What is it with that boy and sandwiches?" I join him.
Max has like, a love for sandwiches that none of us are able to understand.
"How was your day of fun?" He asks.
"It was alright. We ran into Ashton on the boardwalk."
"That prick?" He spits.
"Yeah. Harry wanted to rip his head off."
"Was Ashton rude?"
"Not really, Harry just knew what had happened so that set him off. But then Ash made a comment about how he cheated on me; something like 'shit happens.'"
"Shit like that just doesn't happen." He laughs.
"I know! That's what Harry said. Then I had to pull him away and we just drove around a bit more before he dropped me off."
"Did he scare you?"
"Harry?"
"Yeah."
"No, he didn't." I laugh. "I'm really comfortable around him."
Jethro cracks his knuckles and looks down. I bet if Jethro had a girlfriend he wouldn't be like this with me. He'd be too occupied. He's a really handsome guy, plus he's uber nice, he can get anyone.
"Alright. Hey, do you wanna go to Browns? Tonight they're having a special with their burgers, half off every beer." He brags.
We've been going to Browns since we were in our early teens. It's a nice burger place slash bar. They have some pool tables laying around. Sometimes we'll all go before or after a big game happens.
"I'll be the driver." I laugh and stand up
I grab my car keys and my bag before grabbing a bottle of water.
"Do you want?" I ask and lift the bottle up before closing the door.
"I'm good."
"I feel like we haven't been here in forever." I walk into Browns with Jeth.
"It's been about a month so for us that is forever." He laughs.
"Hey, Sarah." He smiles at the girl standing at the podium with menus in hand. Sarah seats us all time.
"Hey guys! Where's everyone else?" She asks and begins to walk us to a booth.
"Just us loners tonight." He laughs as were seated.
"Miss you guys coming in here." She smiles at both of us. "Leo will be your water tonight. He's knew so cut him some slack." She laughs. "Enjoy!"
"I don't remember a Leo." I tell Jethro as I move closer into the booth. With my anxiety, which I always almost have, I like to be closed in. For most people, it's usually the other way around.
"She said that he's new, dummy."
"I know! But how new could he be? He's already a waiter on his own, so."
"You have a point there, young one."
"Hey guys, I'm Le- woah you have nice eyes." He cuts off his introduction by complimenting me. This usually doesn't happen. Plus, I can tell that he's gay.
"Thank you." I laugh.
"But yeah, I'm Leo. I'll be serving you guys tonight. Can I get you guys something to drink?"
"I'll have a corona." Jethro holds out his ID.
"Alright, and for you?" He asks me.
"An unsweetened iced tea please?"
"You gotta. I'll be right back." He smiles and walks away.
"For a second I thought he was complimenting you!" I whisper at Jethro and begin to laugh.
"I thought so too. I didn't know what to say, thank god it was you." He laughs.
A half hour in, Jethro and I still haven't ordered our food. We're too busy laughing about "middle school days."
"And do you remember when you got a boner in health when she was discussing boners?" I laugh so hard at remembering that my eyes begin to water.
"That was so embarrassing! And then Ryan was passing me notes that said 'think of your grandmas boobs' so it would go down. And it did." He laughs.
"Are you guys ready?" Leo comes back and interrupts our laughter.
"Yeah, yeah." Jethro calms. "Just get me a bacon cheese burger. With all of the stuff on it." He starts laugh again.
"And for you?" He asks me.
"Can I get a grilled chicken Caesar wrap, please."
"No problem." He smiles and walks away.
I look over to my left and I see Harry walk into Browns. With a girl.
My heart partially drops because negative thoughts come to my mind. What if he didn't mean those words he said? And what if that's just a part of his game that he plays with tons of girls? What if that was a speech he gives to everyone?
I guess Jethro noticed my change in mood as he follows my gaze.
"What an asshole." Is what comes out of his mouth.
Harry makes eye contact with me and begins to smile. I turn my head into my hands and try not to cry.
I don't mean to be sensitive about this but I don't like the idea of being played. I don't wanna think I've been played.
"Do you wanna leave?" Jethro asks.
"No, I'm alright."
"Hey." Harry says as he walks towards us with his blonde in hand. Literally, he has his arm around her waist.
Like what he did with me.
"Hi." Is all I manage.
Unfortunately, they're placed right in the booth next to ours. If my arm was twice the length it is now, and if I sat on the edge of the booth, I'd be able to touch him.
"Long time no see." Harry laughs.
"Yup." I say and look at Jethro.
I take a bite of one of the chips that are given to every table. Jethro has asked for two more after we finished the first.
"You okay?" Jethro asks.
"I'm fine."
"Why wouldn't she be okay?" Harry asks.
The blonde is just watching the encounter take place.
"Maybe because you show up here, after you're with her for numerous days, with some other chick."
"This is Rebecca. She's just a friend."
"Okay." I scoff.
"But I'm serious." He looks at Rebecca. "Right?"
