Discovering Me

Chapter 17- Kisses

Harris and I found this cute little café where we waited for Reya and Abby. The cafe had red bean bags instead of chairs and was really romantic ... almost too sweet, I think he'd done this on purpose, he put his hand under his chin and stared at the door, while tapping the table, a waitress came by, and he ordered a red velvet hot chocolate, I wasn't hungry so I took my phone out and put my headphones in, I listened to music until his hot chocolate arrived, he'd already apologised to me and told me there was nothing to be worried about, I asked him if he could consider AA meetings, which he lashed out to, so now we were ignoring each other, I know I shouldn't have said anything, I'm not his mother, I just care.

"Harris! Hey!" I heard from afar, still focused on the lyrics in the music I didn't care to notice the girl that just walked to him.

"Hey!" He said as he turned his attention away from his drink, she walked in looking like a barbie doll, in a pink mini dress, high heals and curly brown hair, with the biggest grin on her face as Harris kissed her on the cheek, I looked away.

"How are you?" They said in unison, and both of them burst out laughing, I looked down turning the volume up as I fiddled with my hoodie, finally deciding on saying hello.

"Hi" I said as I extended my hand.

"Oh my god! I didn't see you there, I'm so sorry! I'm Hannah by the way"

"I'm Diya, it's lovely meeting you"

"I love British people so polite" she laughed as she hugged me.

"I'm so sorry you two, I'm getting late, Diya ask Harris for my number please I'd love to spend some time with you! See you later!" She waved as she walked out the café, I was still smiling from our encounter.

"You should smile more" Harris spoke as he sipped his hot chocolate.

"I need reasons" I replied.

"Me?" He asked.

I shook my head and went back to listening to music, he was still staring at me.

"Harris, Diya!!" Screamed Abby as she walked behind Reya almost bumping her head on the low ceiling before ducking down, she was so tall.

"Aloha!!" Yelled Reya while doing a weird dance to our table, she was such a weirdo with Abby.

"Hey should we go now?" Said Harris grabbing his jacket and wallet.

"Um Harris you have something on your nose" I pointed out the whipped cream on the tip of his nose, I grabbed a napkin and whipped it off, he smiled at me before grabbing me and kissing me on my cheek, instinctively I rubbed my cheek.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Oh come on! It wasn't that slobbery" he laughed.

"It was! But what was it for?" 

"Thank you" he smiled.

"If that's how you're gonna say thank you then I need to stop doing things for you" I smiled, turning towards the door where Abby and Reya where spontaneously tap-dancing.

We drove off to Reya's apartment, dropping Harris of on the way, Abby's mind was blown as she walked into the apartment building.

"Damn! Harris' London apartment is a dumpster compared to this"

"Thanks! Okay I need to visit a friend of mine who wants to come!" Reya asked.

"OHMERGAWD! You've got a jacuzzi! No way!" Called Abby from the bathroom.

"Yeah! You can have a bath if you want I'm heading out!" Called Reya.

"Do you want to come?" She asked me.

"No thanks, I'll probably nap or order dominos" I replied.

"Okay...you know I think Harris wants to marry you, which is weird considering your sixteen, well almost seventeen" she looked at me.

"What makes you think?" I aske as grabbed the phone to call the house keeper.

"I don't know ,wishful thinking?"

"I just realised my birthdays going to be in Dubai! OH MY GOD!" I screamed jumping up and down on the sofa.

"Well half of it, it's so cool though your birthdays going to be in two countries" she said as she jumped with me.

"Okay bye, I'll be back before your nap then we can have lunch together" she waved before grabbing her jacket, it was twelve thirty, I had a couple of ours before she came back, so I got ready to take a nap, in my room as I heard Abby splashing in the jacuzzi, but before I could sleep, I got a text, from Harris, it was Hannah's number, I'll call her later, and just like that I was in blissful heaven.
