Multiple [h.s] - ON HOLD

Chapter 22

After my date with Harry, I thought I would have my mind made up but right now, I'm as confused as ever.

I push open my dorm door after unlocking it and was surprised to see Jane still up but not that surprised when I see  a textbook across her slap. I ignored her and put my bag down on the table that was on my side of the room. I sighed heavily when again, I thought of Harry. I was stupid to have told him to slow down because quite frankly I sorta woud like to actually date him and see what happens in the future but I am scared of what would happen if we did.

I groaned to myself and fell on my face on my bed. This shit is just too bloody complicated  to actually understand. I took out my phone, that was on silence the entire evening, and saw that I have a few messages from friends and three missed calls from mom and that unknown foreign number and a text from Harry that came in just a second ago. I ignored all the other stuff and opened the message from Harry.

Harry: I had a good time tonight. Hope you enjoyed yourself as well. Goodnight Leigh xx

I smiled at the text and a weird feeling appeared at the pit of my stomach. I quickly typed back a reply.

Leigh: I did indeed. Sleep well

I hovered a finger over the keyboard and started typing an erasing another message I wanted him to know but I didn't know how to go about it without sounding creepy or desperate. I sighed again when I couldn't for a good enough message to send the message through to him.

"Sigh some more why don't you?" Jane says without looking up from her textbook. I close my eyes in annoyance and flip her off before switching off the lamp next to my side drawer.

I couldn't sleep much and kept tossing and turning for a while. I took my phone and saw that it was 02:47 in the morning. Without thinking too deep about anything, I unlocked my phone and typed the message I wanted Harry to see. So what if it's weird, at least I gave it a shot right? Befor I could tak myself of it, I pressed send.

Hopefully this doesn't freak him out if he has changed his mind after what I said last night.

Harry POV

I hear the ringtone of my phone signalling a text. But I was too deep in my thoughts to actually take a look at what it said or who it was from. A part of me hoped it was Leigh texting me back saying she enjoyed herself but the rational more realistic part of me knows she wouldn't reply so quickly let alone reply at all after what she said at her dorm door after I made a complete fool of myself.

I took a left turn, completely missing the road to the frat and heading straight for the warehouse. Maybe they will have something for me there to keep me busy from my thoughts about Leigh. After driving an extra half an hour, I parked my car at the parking lot. I step out and as expected, the guards stepped aside for me to enter through the doors. They nodded their acknowlegements at me and I too did so in return.

"Well well well, if it isnt Mr Styles himself. To what do we owe the pleasure?" I heard Sykes, Vincents wingman, greet me along with the smell of cigar, alcohol and cheap woman. The warehouse smelt like this day and night. Thats why i was hardly ever around anymore. I wasn't surprised either when I saw that Sykes was surrounded by three woman just boosting his ego by hanging on him in nothing but lingerie

"Come have a seat Harry. Take a cigar from my blazer. Get Miranda, or Cindy and enjoy yourself. Clearly that's what you are here for right? A quick fuck to forget whatever problem brewing in your head. Kid I can see you need a quick fix. Mirand!" He says to me and calls after the girl.

I roll my eues at him and shake my head. "No, I'm good Sykes."

"Oh come on Harry! Back to being a good little Harold we knew so long ago? Why? Paige come running back yet?" He chuckled and so did the other girls.
