I'll remember him 2

Employees

(1DDay was awesome! Loved the 'talk dirty to me' part! They were all so hot :o always actually haha 🌺)

*Celine's POV*

Astrid receives a text message and smiles. She quickly puts her phone away. "My mother asked me to get something from the store. You can go." She says and Kate and I look at each other. We still aren't getting over the shocking conversation with Sophia. I don't like the idea of Astrid being alone in the city with that girl here. She seems such a bitch. I'm afraid of her honestly, she spoke such hard words.
"We can come with you?" Kate proposes. I know she wants to get out of here as fast as she can, not because she's scared but because she won't be able to hold herself from pulling the hair of Sophia's head when she sees that duck face again. But she still proposes to come with her because she's just like me scared that something bad will happen to her if she's alone.

"No, it's been a long day. Give yourself some rest. I can take care of myself, I'm a big girl." Astrid can't take care of herself. She's so thin, the only way she can defend herself is with words. Kate and I look at each other again and give in.
We walk down the street. I'm scared to bring Sophia up again but I need to know.

"Sophia is in love with Liam, obviously and she will try anything to tier me and Liam apart." Kate says.
"But I don't know how she knows Astrid." She continuous. I've never seen that girl, if I did I would remember, that face is burning on my eyeballs for the next days, weeks, even months.

"Astrid was acting so weird after that text message. Do you believe her?"
"How do you mean?"
"Well do you believe she has to get groceries? And most of all that she doesn't want us to come with her."
"Yea, normally she would pull us to that store with her." I nod. This is not right. "Maybe we should follow her?"
"You think that's a good idea?"
"From a distance... She wont see us"
"Okay, where did she go?"
"There I think."
"Act normal, she really can't see us!"
"You are the one who has to act normal here." I roll my eyes what makes Kate smile. She seems to forget about this morning and Sophia, this isn't the best day ever for her.

*Astrid's POV*

I read the message over and over. I don't know why it makes me smile like an idiot. He's my friend and I have a boyfriend after all.

From: Harry

- 'You look great today :) saw you and your friends here in town. Maybe we can meet at Starbucks? I want to talk to you.'

Harry is already waiting for me inside. When he sees me he stands up and kisses my cheek.
"I ordered two drinks." He says. I feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Listen Astrid I want to apology for my behavior earlier. I didn't meant to be rude, I'm happy for you and Jake." He looks at his hands on the table, like a knife cuts him by every word he speaks. "Oh okay, I didn't think you were rude. I was a bit confused about your reaction."
"What did you think then?" He looks up, straight into my eyes.
"How do you mean?"
"What made you confused? What were you thinking?"
"I don't know, that you weren't happy for me. That you didn't want me and Jake to be together." This clearly isn't the answer he wanted to hear. He nods and looks back at his fingers who're ticking on the table.

"Astrid I..." He starts but stops. I look at his with asking eyes. I catch myself on hoping he says he doesn't want me and Jake to be dating. What's wrong with me?
"Nothing." He says and looks back down.

A young lady serves our drinks and Harry pays her before I can find my purse. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." I apology, now it's my turn to look at my hands. "It's okay." Harry says. An awkward silence follows.

"Do you love him?" Harry questions. "Yea I do." I say. And I mean it, I love Jake. I'm in love with him, he makes me feel safe and loved.
Harry nods. His hands form a first, his skin colors white.
"Did you... Did you sleep with him?"
He asks. "Harry!" I scold. "You don't ask something like that in public." I smile. "But no, we didn't." His skin gets his normal color again and the grip on his firsts lowers.
