Feelings

Chapter Two; Stalker

Chapter Two; Stalker

I woke up, Fizzy still sleeping.

Smelling breakfast, I get up, walking down the hall to run into Hannah.

"There's some dude downstairs." She whispers. "He said he knows you."

My jaw drops. "What's his name?"

"Oh. Uhh..."

"Harry?"

"Yup! You know him?" She questions.

"Holy shit. Who let him in?"

"Mom did... What happened to your neck?!"

I still haven't seen the horrendous love bite he left.

Without answering my sister, I dive into the bathroom, closing the door.

"Shit." I gape at the red and blue spot on my neck where his lips left their mark. It's massive.

I quickly pull my hair into a low ponytail on that side of my head, exiting the bathroom and cautiously walking down the stairs.

I push the kitchen door open slowly, breath hitching when I find Harry leaning casually against the counter, talking to my mom.

"Hi." He grins.

I ignore him, facing my mother.

"Good morning!" She smiles. "This lovely young man says he's a friend of yours."

Harry shows off his dimple.

"I just finished making breakfast, have a seat. Harry, would you like some?"

"Sure, thank you." He smiles.

I can't believe her! She let a complete stranger into our house!

Harry still gives me a feeling of unease, even more so now.

I've never been as grateful to hear our doorbell ring as I am now, immediately taking the opportunity to leave the kitchen.

I open the door, eyes hardening when I'm faced with Chris.

"Hi." He walks inside without asking. "Something smells good." He heads into the kitchen.

I follow after him, finding he and Harry staring at each other.

The annoyed look on Chris's face I get. But the cold glare Harry is giving Chris as they hold each others gaze confuses me.

"Who's this?" Chris asks.

"Harry." He replies. "Who are you?"

"I'm Meredith's boyfriend."

"No you aren't." I blurt.

Mom and the two boys turn to look at me. Chris and mom looked slightly upset, but a smug look has settled into Harry's features.

"What?" Chris raises his eyebrow.

"You aren't my boyfriend because we've only been on four dates, I don't like you, and your friend hit my brother."

"What?" Mom frowns.

"Well..."

"Hey mom?! I cant find my books!" Hannah calls suddenly, momentarily breaking up our argument.

Mom leaves, a look on her face saying she doesn't want to.

"You had your friend hit Austin." I accuse immediately.

"Maybe if you weren't such a bitch..."

I gasp when Harry jumps up, glaring at Chris.

"Oh sit down." Chris says.
