Blow A Kiss

* Chapter 14 *

That evening.

I came back home, tired from crying and overthinking about things I should not think about.

I caught Natalie sprawled on the couch, it seemed that she was watching a comedy movie from her expression and the echo of her laughter throughout the nearly empty house. She finally heard my footsteps and beamed " Hey, you're here! "
" Yeah, i'm here. " I responded, forcing a smile on my face, but as usual those fake smiles never worked out with Natalie.

" What's wrong? Are you okay? " She asked, suddenly her eyes filled with worry and her smile faded.

" I'm okay, just a little bit tired, it's been a long day. "

" Oh c'mon you know me too well to try to convince me with those 'i'm okays and fake smiles'. " she shut off the TV and completely turned her attention to me, gesturing for me to sit beside her and there was no escaping from this conversation but it was not that I wanted to keep things from her, it really was a long day and I just wanted to go and have some rest, but Nati being Nati won't leave me alone until I say everything. So the last option was good for either of us.

" Harry kissed me. " I spat the words out without even thinking.

" Wwhat!? Are you saying the hero kissed you? "

" Nati it's not the right timing for your craziness, i'm serious. " she poked at my arm then tried to hold a chortle, making an effort to become serious.

" How, when, why and where? " she cleared her throat surprising me with her question, and I couldn't hold back a laugh.

" Take it easy on me girl ! Let me just go to change into comfortable clothes and i'll give you the full details after that. " She put her fingers on her chin as if thinking then blurted" You've got 3 minutes, Go Go Go! " She pushed me off of the couch and laughed as I enjoyed. The person who lives with Natalie will never stay sad, mad or in a bad mood whenever he or she's near her.

She was a strong and brave girl and could get over her problems since her childhood.

She didn't even know her parents, she lived with an old kind woman who adopted her and took care of her till she died. Victoria was a really wise woman, we all loved her and she considered Natalie as her exact daughter since she didn't have any.

Me, Natalie, and Jamie met each other in the conservatory ages ago, when we were kids about 9 or 10 years old and they were the best years of my life, these two were my family.

I kicked the door of my room open and entered it remembering I only had three minutes, I opened the drawer and fetched for something to wear.

I quickly put on shorts with a sweater and raced to Natalie.

She glared at me and pretended to be looking at a nonexistent watch on her wrist " you're late. 40 seconds."
I laughed at her statement and resat in the same spot I was in moments ago.
" So? " she nodded at me as if saying SPEAK!

" Well, he kind of pissed me off at lunch, he was being so cold and annoying, so I made my way to him to figure the reason of his strange behaviour.. At first he remained calm and cold, but once he told me hurtful things, I was about to leave his office but he grabbed me by the arm and pressed his lips to mine. " I explained quickly but actually felt a weight fell off of my shoulders. I shared the Today Events with someone else which was good for me since I used to hide things from people.

" Mhm what happened after that? " Ugh wasn't that enough for her?

" I wanted to return the kiss, but I couldn't! I felt an obstacle, images from the accident flashed through my mind, so I pulled away and fell to the ground like a silly little shit, I was scared Natalie, after what happened to me I really can't bear a finger of a stranger on me. " Tears were forming in my eyes and I really couldn't hold them. Sometimes crying is the only cure for the bad feelings inside of you.
