His Little Princess (Henry Bowers) Completed

It's not What it Looks Like

I woke up the next morning to the alarm, my whole entire body seemed to ache worse. I forced myself to shut it off.

I stood up, but immediately sat back down.

"Just take the day off Princess, we can take the day to rest and go to work together tomorrow." He said softly sitting up slowly. He put his hands on my shoulders and started to massage them.

"No, I need to go to work today. I've missed to much..." I told him.

"Yeah? What are you going to say when they ask about those bruises?" He asked.

"I'm going to cover them up with make-up and sunglasses, and if you want to go to work tomorrow, you need something to cover yours up."

"I'm not wearing make-up." He stated.

"It's not bad, just a little foundation should cover it up, they aren't dark..."

"Yours are!" He snapped. "Honestly Harper, you should just take the day off."

"Don't get pissy with me, I'm going to work..." I told him, I took another Ibuprofen and he did the same, I took a few of them and put them in plastic bag and shoved it in my wallet. I put on some make-up to cover up the bruises and then put on dark sunglasses. I threw on a pair of sweatpants and a big hoodie.

"Can you see them?" I asked looking at myself in the full length mirror.

"No..." He sighed. "You should just take the day off...."

"Stop, I'm going to work whether you like it or not...." I stated. He rolled his eyes in defeat. Henry had a piercing his left ear lobe, a little golden ring... He fidgeted with it a second before stepping towards me.

"At least let me give you a ride." He purred.

"With Zeke around, no." I told him.

"Who gives a shit, it'll save gas. We work the same shift." He smirked.

"Yeah, tomorrow." I defended.

"Let me give you a ride." He stated.

"Fine." I muttered.

We walked to his car, I got into the passenger seat and propped my elbow up on the side of the car looking out the window.

"If you change your mind, call me and I'll pick you up." He stated seriously. I nodded.

"Me and Zeke were going to hang out today so I don't need to be picked up." I told him. We got to the parking lot and Henry turned to me.

"Can I at least get a kiss?" He asked.

"Zeke's car is over there, if he sees...." I trailed off.

He clenched his jaw.

"Why do you care what he says?"

"Because I don't want to ruin our friendship."

"If he's really your friend, he won't care that you're dating someone." He snapped starting to get pissed off.

"He doesn't care if I date other people, he hates you Henry. You know that, just like you hate him." I snapped back.

"Get out." He snapped, I got out and gave him double middle fingers, he glared at me and drove away.

"That boy..." I muttered to myself.

I walked inside and Zeke was immediately there.

"What just happened?" Zeke asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I saw you flip him off, what did he do?"

"Nothing, we were just arguing...."
