"So you found a job, what a coincedence, I'm about to get a job here too!" I got a little jealous inside when he said that he also wanted a job here. A big part of me didn't want him to ask if there's any help needed in the store, but the other part of me also wanted him to join.
My boss came out the perfect timing and Harry walked over to him. I was a little far away from where they were standing so I just watched them talk, trying my hardest to hear what they were talking about. Seconds later, they greet eachother and my boss grabbed the exact same papers from under the table and Harry started signing. And that only meant one thing. He got the job. I mean is it THAT easy to get a job here?
Harry walked towards me while having a smirk on his face.
"Looks like we're co-workers." He said and gave me a wink.
I gave him a fake smile and got to work.
***
I could feel Harry glare at me every 30 second, and I tried my hardest to ignore him, and surprisingly it worked! I looked at all the cd's, when my eye catched The 1975 cd, I grab it and without making any thought, I saw Harry running towards me, and pushing me to the side where he also fell on top of me, and I heard a loud crash. Harry was on top of me staring into my eyes.
"You saved me." I said almost breathless
"It was nothing" he said while giving me a smile.
He leaned towards me, when someone interrupt us.
"HEY! WHAT HAPPEND IN HERE?" Our boss yelled, while he was holding his hands on top of his head.
Harry immediatly stand up and helped me up.
"The-uh the-I took one of the cds out when the shelf crashed" I said with horror in my voice.
He relaxed a little bit, and pointed at the shelf.
"Clean it up, and you too" he demand while pointing at Harry.
"Yes sir"
We started to clean and I felt a little awkward after what happend literally almost 2 seconds ago.
After cleaning everything up, it was almost 7pm, so I took my uniform off and got my stuff to get out of this place.
But right before I was about to reach the doorhandle, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Harry smiling to me.
"Do you want me to drive you home?"
"No, my mom is gonna pick me up any minute" I lied.
I didn't want another awkward car ride, and I felt like asking him for too much, even though he was the one asking.
"Alright, see you tomorrow then!"
He said, he opened his arms to give me a hug and I hugged him back.
I opened the door and exit the store.
While I was walking down the street in the dark, I got creeped out, because of the homeless people sitting in a corner. I tried to walk faster, when a homeless drunk man followed me. I tried to walk faster and faster, but somehow, he was almost faster than me. My puls was on 145 and I tried my hardest not to scream. The man grabbed my arm and I was looking at him with horror in my face. His face in return was the most scary thing i've seen in my life.
"Hey pretty girl, why are you walking on your own" he said in a raspy voice.
I started to shake, tried to pull myself out of his grab, I tried to scream, but his hand was holding over my mouth. I could smell his breath, his stinky breath, mixed with beer and cigarettes and I started to scream. I just wanted to get out of here. His hands was slowly trying to pull my pants down, when I saw someone punch him in the face. I turned around in the second and saw Harry's gorgeous face right infront of me. But he looked different. He looked mad. He grabbed the man off of the floor and started beating him over and over again. The man almost passed out when I grabbed Harry's arm to stop him.
"Harry! It's enough, I think it's enough"
"Touch her again and you're dead, you little prick." He said and spits on his face.
Harry took my hand and followed me to his car. He opened the passenger door and I sat. He closed the door and walked towards the driver seat. He still looked mad, almost dissapointed.
"Why did you lie?" Harry harshly spat.
"I-I uhm I just felt like I ask you for too much." I said looking down.
"What are you talking about? It's me offering you."
"I know, but yeah nevermind. But thank you for saving me..again."
"No problem, you were lucky I drove there" He said reliefed.
"Yeah, I know." I said back with a shy smile.
"What are you looking at?" Harry said with a smile on his face, and I realized that I was staring at him.
"Oh sorry, I was just-"
"It's okay"
After minutes, my thoughts were on bethany. All the things she told about nobody knowing anything about Harry. Were they true?
I wanted to ask him, so right when I opened my mouth, his phone rang.
"Hello?"
I hear a girl voice in the phone, and I can't help, but be jealous.
"I'll be there in a minute, I just have to fix something, just give me 10 minutes."
Fix something?
He ended the call and put his phone in his pocket.
"Sorry about that." He said.
"No, no, it's okay, just pull over here and i'll walk the rest of the way." I said while pointing.
"Remember what happend last time?" He raised his eyebrow.
"Alright."

"Emily? Are you home?" My mom asked right when I entered the hall.
"No, mom i'm not home, that's why i'm here, you know, just for fun" I joked and entered the kitchen.
"So, how was your day, honey?"
"Oh the usual, i'm just gonna take a shower and i'll be right back" I smiled.
"Alright, enjoy your shower" she smiled back.
I walked over to my room and grabbed my toiletbag, when I saw my phone light up.
It was a message from Harry.
