Gold Digger H.S

Twelve

I never texted Harry that weekend, instead, I tried to get him out of my mind. Nothing worked though, I had stayed the night at Gemma's on Saturday night. We stayed up all night stalking people's Instagram's and talking about who we thought was hot. We both had this major crush on Chris Hemsworth. "I've met him once," Gemma said but I didn't believe her. "You'll just have to show me a picture!" I told her. So she told me that the next time she saw her brother she would have him bring the picture.

Today was Monday, back at hell. I drove this morning since Noah had a doctors appointment. My mom, for some reason, kept texting me begging for me to call her. I ignored every text, I did read them I just didn't answer them. It had nothing to do with the kids, and that was the only reason I talked to my mom.

I was at my desk, filing paperwork and such when Mrs. Grant called. "Mary, I want you in my office stat!" She declared then hung up. The whole walk there I wondered what I could've done to piss her off. I knock on the door and I hear her snappy voice say "Come in!"

"Sit," she demands. The last time I saw her this mean was when someone used the copier to copy their ass, don't ask. "I'm not happy." She tells me, "Do you know why?"

"No," I say confused. She then throws an article in the desk of me leaving Harry's house that Saturday morning in his clothes. It also had a picture of us the previous night leaving Noah's parents house.

"I thought letting the first one slide it wouldn't happen again, yeah I did notice you getting cozy with one of our clients. This is strike two, another one is you fired! Now, I really do like you Mary. He is a married man, I hope you know, to one of my models. I sure hope this never happens again, cause if it does." She goes quiet but I know what she means.

"Yes Ma'am," I say then stand up to leave. Mrs. Grant had never yelled at me like that before, it was frustrating since she didn't run my life but in a way she did.

"Mary, I tried to stop him but he stormed his way into your office!" An intern runs up to me warning me before I enter my office.

"Who?" I ask kinda freaked out.

"Harry Styles," I walk into my office to see him there sitting at my desk. "Can I help you?" I ask him shouting my door.

"Yeah, you left me this weekend." I go silent, "Why?"

"I don't sleep with other woman's husbands," I tell him sorta truthfully. I didn't want to lose my job, I needed him to get out. "You don't sleep with me and then leave. I'm here to make a deal with you, okay?" He gets up and walks over my way. "I won't sleep with anyone else if you are mine."

It ticked me off that he was trying to claim me like that, I'm not some toy. This isn't fifty shades of grey. "Excuse me?" I say with shock. "I like you, and Madison is never home. She wouldn't know," he tells me. Something told me to tell him no but I also wanted to say yes.

It was wrong to be with a guy when you know your being used but, I wanted this. I thought of Harry every day, every hour. "I'm not just gonna be your side chick," I tell him truthfully. He goes silent for a second and takes a deep breath. "I'm divorcing Madison when she gets in town next. I want you, you make me happy."

"Listen, Harry, I like you. I can't be with you or I get fired if you do split with Madison come talk to me. Until then, just stop." I showed him out the door and spent a couple moments recollecting myself. I wanted Harry, but not like this. Maybe we could be friends? Though something deep inside me knew him and I would be more.

"How was work?" Gemma asked me that night. I had come by her apartment yet again, it's not like I didn't enjoy being at my apartment but I actually had a friend. I mean I had Noah, but she is a girl. "It was work," I tell her truthfully. She nods and scrolls through her phone, 'Friends' was playing on the tv. I notice a book on her coffee table so I pick it up.

"Who's this?" I ask her looking at a picture of a girl and boy. "Oh, that is my brother and me! He hates pictures now, at least with me. It's one of my favorites," it was cute. Even though the boy looked oddly familiar, I brushed it off.

"You miss your brother?" I ask her and she nods. "Not a day goes by when I don't, I sent him my new address. He hasn't come by once," she shrugs then gets up to go into her kitchen.

"I'm going to use the bathroom," I tell her. I then walk down the hall to her bathroom and as I shut the door I hear a knock at the door.

"Coming," Gemma's voice rings. "What are you doing here?" I know I should eavesdrop but I couldn't help it. "I wanted to visit you," the voice sounded familiar. I tried to remember everyone I talked to so I could figure it out. Finally, I open the door and walk out.

"Oh, Harry this is my friend Mary!" Gemma says when she sees me. "What the..." I'm cut off by Gemma, "Mary this is my brother!"

"Nice to meet you, umm I really have to go Gemma! Noah called and he needs to see me right away." I tell her picking up my purse and blanket I brought over. "Okay, you sure you don't want any of the cake we made?" I shake my head no. Honestly, I really wanted that cake, "No give it to Harry!" I then shut her front door and practically run to my apartment.

"Noah, I'm going to die!" I say slamming the door shut and locking it all over. "What?" He asked kinda freaked out.

"The only girlfriend I have is Harry's sister, what will I do?" I start pacing the floor, I was going to die. "Gemma? No way, she's nice and he's like yeah!"

"I know, I made a cake. I left the cake to get away from Harry!"

"Cake?" Noah asks getting up suddenly. "No, you can't go over there to get cake!"

"Watch me, you're coming along." Noah grabs my hand and literally drags me to Gemma's apartment. Noah knocks on the door while I want to hide. "Noah," she says and gives him a hug. "What are you doing here?"

Please let me die, right here! I will be so happy! "Mary said you guys made a cake so I dragged her over here to get some."

"Oh, okay. Come in," she opens the door wider and Noah goes straight to the kitchen. I follow after him not wanting to talk to Harry. Noah turns around to go talk to Gemma and I try to follow after except I'm interrupted.

"It's rude to just leave like that," Harry comments. "Well your not a nice person so," Harry chuckles. "I want you Mary, no one else."

"What if I just want to be friends?" I ask him. "With benefits?" He says with a smirk. "Harry, you don't understand! If Mrs. Grant sees me with you again I lose my job. I have to go," I wave bye to Gemma and ignore Harry.

It took me all last night to realize what had happened in the past few days. I didn't even take notice that Thanksgiving was right around the corner, eventually this morning I called my mom.

"Mary, finally. I know we didn't get along a few weeks ago but I would love you home for Thanksgiving this year." My mom says when she answers the phone.

"Okay," I tell her. "I'm off work that whole week so I'll come down the day of thanksgiving." "That's great, sweetie! How long will you stay?" I want to say that I'm just staying to eat then leave. "I'll stay till that Saturday," I tell her.

"Okay, I want you to bring the pie and mash potatoes. I have to call your sister but I'll see you in two weeks! I love you, bye." Every phone call with my mom seemed to be shorter and shorter each time. Noah and I eventually over the past few weeks stopped drinking those shakes.

Knowing I would be gone for Thanksgiving I write Noah a note that I need to talk to him. Then I leave for work.
