Cheap Pack of Cigarettes.//HS

Chapter 8.

"Will that be all for you, sir?" I was taking an order when I heard the two bells chimed. I looked over and saw Harry walking in, he had a big bruise on his right eye. As soon as I saw it my heart stopped a little. I wanted to go over to him and ask him what happened but he stormed off to the male restrooms. I finished taking the man's order and asked my manager if I could have my last break now. As soon as she said I could, I went to the back and grabbed a bag of ice from the freezer. When I came back Harry was outside smoking a cigarette, I got out of the coffee shop and as soon as he saw me he threw the cigarette to the floor and his eyes softened.

"I'm so sorry I didn't make it yesterday, Bella I should've called you as soon as I could I'm so fucking sorry baby-" I stopped his rambling by putting the bag full of ice on his eye

"Shut up, what happened to you??" I wasn't really mad about yesterday anymore I just wanted to know if he was okay.
He took the ice bag from me and hold it himself against his swollen eye.

"Mark called me during class yesterday and told me he needed me to go as soon as possible to the gym" he paused when he saw my confused look "Mark is my trainer" I nodded and told him to continue "so I got out of class immediately and when I got to the gym there was a lot of people around. They looked like important people, I saw a guy on the ring all ready to fight so I went to look for Mark and when I found him he said he needed me to fight him" he paused. My stomached flipped as soon as he said that. "He said he had planned this for months but Jeffrey, the guy that was supposed to fight him, had a family emergency so he couldn't make it. He had a lot of money on the table for that match and didn't want to let it go so he said he'd give me 60% of what he gets if we win" I don't know how I felt about this but I still wanted to know the rest of the story.

"So what happened after?" I put my hands inside my sweater pockets and looked at him patiently waiting for the rest.

His apologetic attitude soon changed into a proud smirk. "I beat the shit out of him" I guess he was waiting for me to laugh or congratulate him for that but I just kept a straight face, looking at the floor.

I didn't like the fact that he hurt someone for money, or just because Jeffrey "couldn't make it". He put the ice bag down on the floor and leaned against the wall.
I sighed and he then put his arms around my waist and hugged me with his face in my neck "I'm really sorry Bella" I heard him mumble. I sighed and hug him back, I couldn't stay mad at him that long, he was too cute.
"I still want to know why you didn't call me after though" I said as I pulled back.

"Right, well after that Mark was very happy that we won so he invited me to a bar I told him I had plans but he said it would only be for a little bit and I kind of wanted to go get a drink so I went" I felt hurt that he ditched me for drinks, if I'm being honest. "A drink led to five then to ten, so I was pretty wasted by the time I got home, as soon as I got to the apartment I passed out" he still kept his arms around me, the sad eyes came back, he looked for some kind of response from me. I just nodded and put my hand on his right cheek, just caressing it.

"I'm sorry baby I promise you it won't happen again" he said

"What won't? You fighting against other people or you ditching me?" I asked, it sounded a little harsh but I think i deserved answers.

"Neither. I won't ever ditch you again and I won't fight other people, that's not really my thing. It was just a favor I did to Mark" he said before giving a kiss to my forehead.

"Okay well let's get the ice bag back on your eye, it doesn't look as cool as you think Harold" I said before leaning down to grab the ice bag from the floor.

He chuckled and hugged me tighter.
He looked down at me, straight into my eyes "can I kiss you?" My heart almost melted when I heard him.

I smiled and nodded. I loved Harry's kisses. They made you feel all kinds of feelings. It's like, they were hot but cute, they could get me in the mood but also made me awe at how passionate he is while kissing me. He just puts all of his feelings there. I pulled away and smiled at myself, I missed him even thought I had seen him yesterday even though it was just for a little in the morning.

I looked at him and he was smiling too. "Have you eaten?" I asked him

"I ate a hot dog in the morning before class"

I took his hand and put the ice bag on my other hand. "Come on, I'll get you something, what do you want?"

We got in the coffee shop and he order a hamburger and some fries, he ate it while we sat down and talked a bit more. I stared getting some of his fries and ended up eating them all, he didn't seem to care since he didn't complain.

I eventually went back to work and Harry went to the dvd store next to the coffee shop to get some movies while I finished my last hour of work.
