Chapter 25
Keaton had been bugging me all day about a movie he wants to watch tonight and he wants me to go with him. I wasn't sure if I should have accepted or not, but with Harry creeping in my mind after the events from yesterday; I was desperate for distraction. So now I'm here pondering in whether I made the right decision to go out with him tonight. I don't want to give him the wrong impression by agreeing to this.
I was rummaging through my clothes trying to find an outfit that said 'we are two friends going to to watch a movie.' For some reason everything I would like to wear spoke out 'it's possible we can be more than friends.' I don't wanted to seem like I am trying when I am not.
Ugh. I groaned throwing the last item of clothing in my closet onto the ground. There was absolutely nothing to wear.
I heard the doorbell ring and u waited for my dad or Martha to open the door. I hoped that whoever was at the door was not Keaton. The doorbell rang once more and I made my way down the stairs. Hmm. No one is home.
"I'm coming," I yelled as the bell rang again.
I opened the door and found Bethany standing there holding a car seat with Scarlett giggling in it.
"Déjà Vu," I said and immediately began to panic. Oh no. I was not going to take care of her baby again.
"Relax Nicky," she said noticing my panic, "I am only here to visit you."
"Oh," I said confused and she walked past me and into my living room.
We sat in silence in the living room and I couldn't stop thinking about why she was here. She was playing with Scarlett's fingers and making her laugh. I watched as she lovingly and tenderly attended her child. I don't think I will ever be like her. I just do t have that motherly instinct.
"So," Beth said breaking the silence, "the reason I am here is because...I don't know how to say this, but are you and Harry you know together?"
What? Why is she asking me this?
"What? No. Why would you say that?"
She sighed then spoke, "Keaton checks the security footage every morning --"
"What!" OMG. Keaton saw Harry and I last night. My heart was pounding in my chest mostly because Keaton is the son of the owner of the cafe and I could lose my job. Not to mention that Keaton has feelings for me and the last thing I want to do is hurt him. He is so nice to me and I like him.
"Calm down Keaton didn't see anything. He asked me to check out the footage today because he was busy with who knows what with his dad. I saw the footage and deleted it."
My body immediately relaxes and I feel as I can breathe again. I look over at Beth and she is glaring down at me.
"Nicky what is going between Harry and you?" She asked her voice laced with concern.
"Nothing," I respond, "anymore."
"I love Harry," she sighs and my eyes widen.
She notices my tense posture and then corrects her self, "oh no not like that. I meant he is like family to me."
The way she spoke of him made me question their relationship. I don't remember Bethany telling me how Harry and her know each other.
"How long have you known Harry?" I asked.
She smiled and answered, "about two years now. We grew closer when Scarlet was born."
"Is Harry --" I wasn't sure if I should ask, but just seeing the way Harry took care of Scarlet the other day makes me wonder if he is the father.
