Uncertain Attachment

Furious

"Harry. Why aren't you talking?" August asked her over the phone.

It was exactly midnight when he called Harry, luckily, she answered the call but she has not spoken yet.

"Harry.. Are you there?"

Silence answered his question, then he finally heard a soft breathing.

"Harry.. Please talk to me, what did I do wrong?"

He heard a sigh then the soft breathing came back.

"Harriette.."

"Augustus. Zachary. Ramirez." she finally said, August felt a relief but then, the relief was just for a second. He realized the coldness in her tone.

"Harriette, tell me what's wrong."

"What do you want Augustus?"

"What do you mean 'what do I want'?"

"Just tell me what do you want!" she was yelling at him and August went silent. He had no idea what he had done.

Maybe she saw me with Vanessa?

He suddenly felt guilty.

"Harry.. Harriette. Whatever you saw, I'm sorry, okay? If it made you jealous, please forgive me.."

"What do you want Augustus.." the question mark is literally gone, and she said it as if she didn't hear what he said.

"Harry.."

"What. Do. You. Want." her tone made him mad, mad in a way he has to tell what he really feels and that Harry would stop giving him the cold shoulder.

"I want you Harry! Just you. I've never had anyone to love since you came. Please don't tell me you're leaving me in the air. Harry, I.." he stopped. He was gonna say he loved her too but it was too soon.

There was a total silence between them, but August was breathing hard, he was afraid to loose her even if they've only been together for a short time. A very short time.

"Please come here." she whispered in the other line.

"But Harry, there's class tomo-"

"Just come here. If you wont then I guess this is goodbye." she ended the phone call.

August hastily went out of his room and in his house and started walking towards Harry's apartment. He didn't care if it was passed midnight, all he cared was his relationship with Harry.

After he turned left two blocks away from his house, he froze. He saw a familiar person.

"It's passed midnight.. Why are you out here?" she asked.

"I.. I have an urgent .. Uhh, meeting.. How 'bout you? I thought you're back home.."

"Naah.. I just needed some fresh air.. I've been walking around since--"

"Vanessa, if you don't mind, I've got to get going. Bye." he said, even if he didn't want to. Before she could reply, he walked away and forget about Vanessa.

She's the reason why Harry's mad at me. Better stop being friends with her his mind said angrily at him as he grunts in the streets.

When Harry opened the door, August hastily greeted her with a tight hug. He sighed in relief and buried his face on her neck.

"Oh Harry.. I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry for what I did." he murmured. He felt Harry hugging him back and he let her go so he could see her face.

"You'll never flirt with that teacher again?" she asked. August's eyes suddenly went big, his eyebrows curled and his mouth half open because of shock.

Seconds later, he burst into laughing.

"What?" Harry asked  scowling at him.

"Seriously?! You.. You were jealous of Meacah?!" all the tension of loosing her was gone and he was just really laughing.

"Well yeah! She was holding your hand! Before and after she introduced you to me! And after she introduced you to me, when you were all by yourselves, I saw you flirting with her! You kissed her cheek!" her face holding a bitter expression, disgust and mad.

"Harry, Meacah and I are friends!" August calmly replied, dismissing his amusement of the situation.

"But it's obvious that she likes you! I hate it everytime when there's someone flirting with the one I love and I can't do anything about it!"

"Harry, calm down."

"No August! I hate you!"

"Harriette. Listen to me, Meacah is a friend. And I know that she likes me-"

"See?!"

"No, let me speak Harry. She likes me right?" she hesitated to calm down, but August was looking at her, convincing her to listen to him. A few seconds later, she finally nods,

"And I've known that for a long time. I should have been crazy in love with her right now, but no. Because you, you're the one that drives me crazy." he paused.

"Oh and by the way, that guy who was with you? Is he trying to date you?" this time, Harry laughs.

August finally felt the relief and smiled at her giggles.

"You're my one and only August. No matter how hard they try to flirt with me, you will always be the one." she holds August face and leaned her forehead on his.

"Likewise Harry." August whispered. He kissed her and she responded.

Harry pulled away when they were getting carried away by their passionate kiss. They were both breathless and turned on.

"How about we go inside. I was making a midnight snack."

"You're not planning to sleep?" he frowns when the thought of her staying up late at night entered his mind.

"Yeah. I was busy being angry at you." she said.

"Don't worry you're not angry at me now." he caress her cheeks and Harry smiles sweetly.

"I know, and I know I'll have a good sweet sleep tonight." she smiles devilishly at him and August caught her message. He smiled wickedly at her then she went inside to finish the midnight snack she was making.

"You're a naughty girl, seriously."

"Am I?" she asked seductively, she bit her lower lip while August smirks, he had a hot feeling growing inside him. He stood beside her and watched her do her thing.

"No, not yet Harry. We're still friends, remember?" Harry frowns and pouts at him.

"Come on August, just tonight."

"No. With or without that thing, you will always be my naughty girl." she faced him with a bright smile on her face.

"And you, are mine, Mr. Ramirez." she said, her eyes sparkling.
