Alriet: When Love Happens

CHAPTER 04

Harriet

I did not think that he would be annoyed with it. It's the first time that I did something so dull. I really did not know how to deal with the fact that I had a friend. When Alec invited me to go the cafeteria, I thought that I could speak with him, about the boys who play on the pub close from there. I was waiting to stay late enough to take him there. I wanted him to know them, but it's clear that I always ruin everything. I always turn the things into a mistake. I am a disaster.

The girl didn't even want to know him. I embarrassed him. First because I came close to her seeming a tipsy lesbian, later I was saying that my friend was interested in her. She looked at him and I saw her nose twist. That stupid girl. When he saw her reaction, Alec arose and left with a lot hasty steps, which my legs didn't reach.

- Alec, wait. – I was jumping in high heels. – Please, Alec.

- Harriet just go away. – He was a lot nervous; his hands were closed firmly while he walked.

- Please, wait for me, Alec. – I shouted. – I'm running out of air.

- Leave me alone! – He turned over and took his hand to his hair disarranging it.

I stopped when feeling my chest jump with force. He was incredibly wonderful. I could find my friend pretty, couldn't I? Sparing light illuminated his face a little. I felt danger emanate from him when Alec came close. His jaw was rigid.

- Forgive me, I've never did anything like this. – I snorted and a wick of my hair flied around my face. – I thought that the friends did this.

- You are not my friend. – He turned over and continued walking.

- You are saying this because you are angry. – I took off my shoes, I felt my feet freezing. – Wait for me.

- Stop being annoying, Harriet. – He turned over again and as I ran following him, I bumped into him. He held me by the waist and I took both my hands to his chest. I kept looking at him for a long time. I looked at his mouth. For a moment I thought that he was going to kiss me, because he also looked at my mouth, but he moved away abruptly.

- She does not deserve you, ok. She is disgusting. – I sighed. I felt my chest beat with force. – I confess that I am surprised to discover that you like girls. I never saw you looking at one.

- You what? – He rubbed the hair and looked at me.

- Ah, I guessed you did not like girls. I'm not prejudicious, all right. – I put my hands in my waist. – Didn't you have another type of girl to be interested in? Did it have to be the popular girl?

- She is pretty. – He defended himself, shrinking the shoulders.

- She is, I have that to admit. – I slid the tongue for my lips. – But there are other girls just as pretty.

- I do not know. I think that I have a thing for difficult girls. – He smiled. – Never do this again, Harriet, I hate it.

- I won't. – He relaxed the shoulders to hearing me. – I promise to ask for permission before.

- And my answers will be a sonorous "no". – He rolled an arm in mine, guiding me for the way that we took before.

- Never say that we are not friends again. –Alec smiled and hugged me by the shoulder. I really did not like to hear that.

- Friends fight from time to time. –He looked at the time. – We must go, we have classes tomorrow early.

And, one more time, I forgot to tell him about the band.
