Lost & Insecure

Chapter 4

The dinner was going worse than expected, the tension in the room was at it's highest and I tried to stay out for as long as possible.

I still wondered why Lucinda had all these guests, something big must be happening.

It was finally the end of my service shift, I had served everyone and relieved that my side of the service went well.

There were a load of stares and smirks coming from those British boys, which I have learned from eavesdropping that they were a boyband from the UK I wonder why the curly one didn't tell me earlier when he bumped into me, all of them were English except the blonde one, he was Irish.

They all were very polite and well mannered which was a change from Lucinda's typical guests.

I stayed in the kitchen most of the night just to make sure Lucinda had nothing bad to say about me and even though the night went well she will still find something to pick at.

In the middle of doing the dishes I hear rustling in the coat closet, that's weird. Why would anyone be in the coat closet? All guests are supposed to be in the lounge sipping on their posh cocktails and spirits.

Curious, I dry my hands and rush over to the closet opening the door to find the curly one, again. Sitting on the floor on his phone. Wtf.

"Your not allowed to be in here, your supposed to be in the lounge" I say resting my hand on my hip.

"answer this question" he asks me, I nod my head in acceptance.

"Would you want to be in there with all of them?" He asks staring right at me.

"Well, no. But that's different, your supposed to be in there I'm not, and sitting in a coat closet, really?" I chuckle at the thought of a famous pop star sitting at the bottom of a coat closet.

"Yeah maybe I'm supposed to be there but that doesn't mean I want to" he stands leaning over me now, wow. I didn't think he was this tall.

"So you chose to sit in the bottom of a coat closet" I try to hide my laugh causing a smirk to appear on my face.

"Why not" he smirks back.

I roll my eyes and return to the kitchen to finish doing the dishes. He follows me.

"why didn't you tell me you were a maid?"

"Oh you mean in the, what, 30 seconds I saw you before hand. Yeah im sorry if I didn't manage to get my full life story across" sarcasm plastered all over my voice.

He just laughs. He has a really nice smile but then again he is rich so he's probably had a lot of work done to his teeth.

"Right I see your point, but seriously why do you work for her, she obviously doesn't treat you well"

This was weird I've never really spoke to anyone about Lucinda and my life at home, not even Dan talks about it with me because he knows how much I hate talking about the witch.

"Were not all lucky like you and get to be in a famous boyband do we"

I look over at him and catch him staring at my locket around my neck.

Before I can even register what's happening he takes my locket in his hand and opens it up to find a picture of my mum inside.

"This is beautiful"

He smiles before asking the dreaded question I hate to hear.

"Who is this?"

I stare at his lips when he talks, the way they move, seeing new faces always excited me because I never got to see many shacked up in this house doing work.

"That's..erh..that's my mum" I smile over to him, his hand still holding my locket.

"Aw that's cute. Are you and her close?" Why does he want to know any of this.

"Erh, we were" my smile fades and he could tell from my expression what happened and drops the locket onto my chest.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's fine, honestly" I cut him off.

"But hey, you still haven't told me your name"

"Oh yeah, my name is Harry, Harry Styles"

Harry. He looks like a Harry if I'm honest.

"But I have to go back there and socialise with all of them before they notice I've gone, but I'll see you around Serena" he winks before drifting off into the lounge.

what does he mean, he'll see me around?
