Chapter 11: Fine and Dandy
I stared at my reflection in the mirror and took a deep inhale. My heart was pounding like crazy and my stomach felt funny and weird. I was nervous as fuck.
It was Wednesday, I had been living in my apartment for four whole days now. Ever since I realized my feelings for Harry had risen once more, I was in a deep hole of denial. I tried to convince myself it was because I was feeling lonely and single so my brain was confused and thought that I was attracted to the next closest guy in my life, which was Harry. I continuously told myself that Harry was my best friend and only my best friend. But on Tuesday when Harry posted a picture on Instagram of him holding Olivia's left hand to finally tell the world about their engagement, I realized how much my heart ached. And that was when I finally started to come to turns with my feelings for Harry.
I hated that I was falling for Harry again because he was taken and he soon to get married. I hated it so much, but of course, there was nothing I could do. If I had the capacity to switch those feelings off, I would have done it in a heartbeat. Because I didn't want to continuously have my heart broken. And I most certainly didn't want to act differently around Harry or for anything to change between us.
My phone dinged beside me. When I looked at the screen, I saw it was a text from Harry.
We just parked the car, we'll be there soon. What's your buzzer code again?
I replied to Harry's text and proceeded to apply my nude-red lipstick on my lips. I scanned my outfit in the mirror and took another deep breath to try to calm my nerves. I wore a red polka dot wrapped sleeved dress with frills that went along the v-neckline all the way down to the hem of the dress. It fell at my mid-thigh and sat comfortably on my body. I also had two gold necklaces around my neck, one a bit longer than the other.

Since there were almost here, I double checked that the dining table was set and the food was still warm and ready to be served. I realized that I forgot to put some napkins on the table, so I quickly grabbed some out from one of my cabinets and right when I placed it on the table, there was a knock on my door.
In a span of one second, my nerves quickly transformed into pure terror. I just realized how scared I was for this dinner because it was my first time seeing Harry since Saturday after recognizing my feelings for him.
Benny, if you managed to hide it once, you could hide it a second time.
I took a deep breath and straightened my posture to make myself look more confident. I sped to my front door and opened it with a small smile on my face. I was immediately greeted by Harry and Olivia who had smiles on their faces as well, though one was way more genuine than the other. And as soon as Harry and I locked eyes, I felt my stomach backflip.
