Till I Met You

Chapters 1 up to 45

Harry's POV

I'm awaken by a knock in my door. Damn. It's still early. When I open my door there's our house helper, Tina.

"Good morning, Sir Harry. Sorry to disturb you, but your Grandma said breakfast is ready."

"Tell my breakfast I'm not eating."

"Harry, dear. Your breakfast is ready. It's not good to keep the food waiting." My Grandma shouts from the dinning room.

"Fine! Fine! I'm going down." I shouted back. Annoyed.

When I reached the table, I sat down across my Grandma.

"How's your sleep, Harry dear?" My Grandma asked me politely while shoving a bread on her mouth.

"Got disturbed, obviously." I answered, just looking down at my plate.

"Where did you went lastnight? You got here late." My Grandpa said while reading the newspaper.

"At the Shop. With Ryan."

"How's the shop going? I haven't visited there for a long time." My grandma is polite as ever. And sweet. And annoying sometimes.

"Just fine." I answered back.

"Hey Mister. Watch your tone answering your grandma." My grandpa interrupted while glaring at me.

"Oh by the way. We'll having a family dinner tonight. Your Mom and Dad will be here." She said smiling.

"Oh great." That's all I can manage to say. I'm not really in the mood this morning.

"Can I go back to my room now? I'm really sleepy and my head hurts."

"Finish your food, boy!" Grandpa exclaimed, while putting down the newspaper he's reading.

Jesus!! They still treat me like a 7-year old where in fact, I'm getting older.

Now at the Coffee shop with Ryan.

New message from Jill Goodacre!

Jill: Uhm. Harry? This is kinda inappropriate but I just forgot to tell you last night. I think I'm in love with you.

"Dude!! C'mon! You won't believe this!! Look..."

I looked at him and my eyes widened and went straight to my Macbook Pro laptop. "Jesus Christ Ryan!! You opened my Facebook account again?!" I hit him at his arm.

"Ouch!! What's your problem dude! That hurts. The last time I remembered, I am your best friend since we're kids and as a best friend, I have the rights to be informed about my best friend's upcoming love life."

"What are you talking about?!" I throw him a folder. "Heard this thing called privacy?!" And I sat down there and look at what's happening that made him act like that.

Ofcourse! My eyes widened when I saw Jill's message.

In love? With me? This can't be! Currently, I'm out of my mind now.

Now Ryan is tapping my shoulder while smiling. "Dude! This is what you have been waiting for!"

"Waiting... What?!" I said, shocked.

"Do I have to repeat it? This is what you have been waiting for! You liked Jill since we were kids right? And now she thinks she's in love with you. What are you waiting for? Blue moon?! Make your move, Connick!!!"

I'm about to reply to Jill's message..

Me: Jill, I'm sorry but it's not the way you think. I just don't like you.
