Out of my Limit (Harry Styles)

Chapter 8

I woke up Saturday morning alone in my bed.

At first it was hard for me to remember why I was upset about waking up in MY bed alone, but then everything slowly started to come back to my mind and I remembered what happened last night. Everything from Harry coming to my house drunk to falling asleep with him on the carpet... But if I felt asleep with him on the carpet *screaming internally* then, why am I here on my bed alone?

I didn't even bothered on looking at the clock to decide that it was too early for me to be up so I turned around and covered myself with the sheets to fall asleep again, in the process I heard something like a piece of paper crumpling but deciding I'll check it later I let the chambers of sleep drag me back again.

++++++++

When I finally woke up it was 11:35, yay a complete morning gone to waste!.. sarcasm. I hate to sleep because I just feel like it's a lot of wasted time and that I could be doing something more productive instead of just imagining things that will never happen, but I let it slide considering I needed that sleep to survive. I found my way out of the duvet and went to take a bath considering it was time for me to start my Saturday, which I knew will be a very non-productive day.

I grabbed my clothes, some denim shorts and a red blouse, and headed to the bathroom. When I finished I quickly dressed and went back to my room remembering the note that was on my bed. I'm not gonna lie, I secretly hoped it was from Harry explaining why he left me, I confirmed my thoughts as I read it:

"Hey Mel, how was ur night? I hope right. I woke up at 1 am and remembered that my parents left some spare keys with our neighbors. I went back home, sorry for the shitty stunt I put up last night. Wanna go out to eat when you wake up? I'll pick you up at 1 -Harry xx

When I finished reading the note I was dying on the inside, I mean, HE was the one who invited me out, he wanted to "hang out" or the hell this was with ME.

I was glad he didn't left time for me to say no because if he did I am sure I would've found a way to mess it up. I was also thankful for my cleaning habits because without them I wouldn't be ready. I just grabbed some make up and mascara and put it in my face.

My hair was down on my shoulders because it was still wet from my shower.

I went outside and closed my door with the key just to save us some time. I sat on the doorsteps and scrolled through my dash figuring he'll be arriving late.

But I didn't waited long for him though because 5 minutes later I heard his car on the drive way and before I knew it we were speeding down the road, just like old times but now without my brother which made everything 100 times better.

We just drived with our windows down and our music loud until we excited the Upper Side. Harry told me we were leaving the city and I didn't complained or anything because I'll do anything to get out of all this drama in my life. But the problem was that there isn't any "drama" really, i believe it's all in my mind and also all my "drama" revolved around him and I was escaping from my drama by going with him on a "date" if that makes sense, which obviously doesn't. Nothing in my life does.

"Where do you want to go Mel?" It wasn't a difficult question and I'm sure he already knew the answer so it didn't took me long to answer.

"Can we get some food please?" I said with the biggest puppy eyes I could manage hoping to convince him.

"Haven't changed a bit" He said while laughing at me.

"Nop, I haven't. But could we get hamburgers? Specifically?" I begged again and he groaned "Remember you owe me from yesterday.."

"Hey! That's not fair! That card won't work with me" He said while stucking out his tongue at me like a baby. I couldn't help but laugh at his stupid cute face.

"You're such a baby Harry!" I said while laughing hard at him not bothering about him getting mad because I knew for sure he'll join me sooner or later.

We arrived for our hamburgers as soon as expected because of the speed he was driving at.

At first I had no idea where we were going because I just asked for a burger, I never specified a place. But when I realized where we were heading at, I felt a small smile playing on my lips.

It was the same place we used to go with my brother when we were bored, it also was the place where our mothers used to take us on birthdays or stuff.

"Do you remember this place Mel?" Harry asked. I looked at him with an incredulous look.

"You thought I had forgotten this? How could you? I loved this place!" He raised his hands in a "surrender" mode.

"Hey! You know what they say?.."

"And what is that?" I asked him, actually curious this time.

"Well.. That women have a brain with the size of a peanut.." He's such an idiot.

"Oh my god I can't believe you said that!" I said while shaking my head "Please just shut up and let's go eat some food, I swear I'm starving!" I said while rubbing my tummy.

"Yes ma'am! Whatever you say!" He said that in a mocking tone while moving his hands so it looked like he was greeting a general.

++++++++++

When we got inside everything was just like I remembered. Old wooden floor, a bar on the left side and red booths spread all over the restaurant. There was the same old lady at the cash register and the same blonde boy attending the bar, the only thing that was different was the girl dressed on jeans and a red shirt which I asumed was the new waitress or something like that.

We chose the booth that was on the right side, far away from the bar because neither of us wanted to drink this early. We ordered our food, hamburger and french fries with a milkshake for me and a hamburger with a coke for Harry, what can I say.. I'm not ashamed on eating whatever I want in front of a guy.

I don't get why girls are obsessed with trying to look like they don't eat that much in front of a boy because if you only do that when you are with a boy, obviously he will notice it on your body. It's not like: hey! she doesn't eat anything but she's fat, how weird. Nope. This isn't how life works.

The waitress came back quickly with our drinks and muttered a "I'll be back soon"

"Poor girl" Harry said "It must be her first day here" He said smiling at me.

"Yeah, I know.. Why are you smiling though?"

"Do you remember you used to say you'll work here when you were older?" He said quoting the work older with his fingers "Well I couldn't help but imagine you in you worn out jeans taking orders and snapping at clients for being rude" He said laughing at me.

"Well, I don't understand why you find that funny" I said and crossed my arms in front of me "I think I'll do an excellent work" When I said this he burst out laughing uncontrollably.

I couldn't help but join and I'm pretty sure we were laughing at the same story, we used to play like if we owned a restaurant (which was actually his kitchen) and I was the waitress while he and my brother were the clients. I always ended up getting mad and crying with mom because they always ended up eating the food and just because I was the waitress, I couldn't eat absolutely anything.

We just continued eating our food while we shared stories about out new school and our friends and let me tell you something I realized.. Harry tensed up and changed topics every time I started talking about Zac. But it has to be nothing right? I mean, there is no reason for him to tense up like that and I'm totally sure he noticed I looked away and pretended I haven't heard anything when he talked about "Annie".

Freaking Annie is her new friend and he talks so freaking much about her that it's killing me. The worst of it is that she sounds so sweet and I feel bad for hating her without even knowing her but I don't have time to be good when someone is stealing my man. Hell no.
