49 || YOU LITTLE MISTRESS

I felt light touches on my face making me stir and the touches to stop but when I go back to sleep, they resume making me wake up this time to see Harry laying down, looking at me while taking his hand back.

"What are you doing?" I question, looking back at him.

"You had an eyelash on your cheek." He says after a while before sitting up. "What do you want to do today?" He asks while stretching.

I sit up and rub my eyes. "Um, I don't know?" I say. "I think we should start planning out what we're doing for Christmas."

"That sounds like a good idea." He nods. "Hey, why don't we have it at my house? All my things should be there by now just in time to have a party." He suggests.

"Are you sure? It's supposed to be something small you know? Just with us." He waves me off.

"It'll be fine. I have to go and check up on the house today, care to join?"

"Can't, I've got work." I groan making him pout. "See you after to plan out the details?"

"I'll text you the location." He grins making me smile as we head downstairs to make breakfast. After breakfast that consisted in pancakes with eggshells in, Harry left to go run his errands while I left a few minutes after for work.

An hour in and Alice hasn't shown up, leaving the job all to myself and the new barista Amy who can't seem to get off her phone thinking I can't see her sneak it out whenever she gets a text.

The bell rings, signifying a new customer while I'm busy changing out the old coffee grounds that Amy was supposed to do. This girl is just not going to last another day here. "Kathrine?" I hear someone call my name making me turn to see a petite brunette stare at me with a pearly white grin.

"Um, yes?" I say unsure of how this woman knew my name.

She continues to grin at me before pointing to herself. "You don't remember me?" She says making me let out a nervous laugh while shaking my head. "It's me Destiny!"

Who?

"I'm sorry, I don't think I know you?" I say making her wave me off with a smile.

"Destiny Robinson, we went to elementary together." She explains making me stare back at her.

"You look fat in that dress, everyone says it looks better on me."

"Oh." I say, my mind dragging me out of my thoughts. That Destiny, the one that would bully me all the while dating Harry though he never knew because of how fake she was and how scared I was of her as a child.

Also, the one that told that one boy I liked to spill his juice on me because we were wearing the same dress to our elementary party in the gym, and had everyone agree with her that I looked fat and that it looked better on her.

"Oh my God, it's been so long!" She says, a little way too overexcited. "How have you been?" She asks making me rub the sweat off my palms.

To say that seeing a childhood bully after this long, after working out excessively after having the whole class call you fat as an eight year old, was unpleasant was an understatement.

"I've been good." I nod, stepping aside to allow Amy to take orders. "What about you? You look great." I say making her give a twirl.

"Thanks! So do you." She looks me up and down. "I've been working with some people, can't say who, to launch my clothing line. I've got a photoshoot today for the campaign." She gushes making me nod with a pursed smile. "But enough about me, how has life been treating you?" She looks around, clearing judging.
