We saw everyone out and Harris assured me that everything was fine between us and I shouldn't worry.
"It's okay." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. He hugged me and left.
"Did we miss anything?" Paul asked gesturing between him and Safra.
"No." I crossed my arms. "Let's go Paul, its 11 already and I'm really tired." I held my forehead in my palm.
"Yeah, dad has called so many times already."

Safra went home and I plopped into the couch. My head was still spinning in different directions so I made some tea...then I went to bed. My dad and mum promised to reprimand us for coming home later than the curfew.
My bed felt lie heaven and I was sure I was gone, when I heard a clink sound on my door. I opened the window and a small stone hit me in the face.
"What the..." I screamed.
"Sorry." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked down and met a familiar icy blue color.
"Hardin what are you doing at my house?" I asked angry.
"Came to give you my birthday surprise to you." He scratched his head.
"Yes thank you, but I love my face." I attempted to lock my window but he threw another stone.
"Please just come down, please. I'll explain everything." He pleaded. I gave in knowing this would not end well.
"Start explaining." I cross my arms. He held me by the arm and dragged me off. We entered an empty restaurant that was dark.
"Close your eyes." He said.
"Hmmm... I will, but don't dare kiss me or touch me!" I closed my eyes after seeing him nod.
"Surprise!" he exclaimed and the lights came on, balloons and confetti fell on me. I smiled and soon it fell, I didn't want him to know he just won me back.
"Thank you, can I go now?" he still kept his grin.
"You haven't eaten the food, not to talk of the cheesecake." He sat me down on a decorated table. It was beautiful with a candle stand, bouquet and a pretty table cloth. Plus, the food did sound delicious. He ordered it and I dug in, he bought it for me right?
"I had a trip."
"What?" I said my mind and mouth savoring the taste of the cheesecake.
"I said I had a trip, it was more of a work trip." He repeated.
"Where did you go?" I asked still eating but looking him straight in the eye.
"Uhm..." Hesitation, one. "It's a small remote town actually, doesn't really matter." Hiding the truth, two.
"Why are you lying?" I asked dropping my fork noisily and wiped my mouth.
"I...I'm not...I'm not lying; why would you think I'm lying?" he ran his hand through his hair.
"Why are you nervous if you aren't lying?" I countered. He breathed.
"I'm not nervous okay, something happened with my brother and I had to go take care of it, you satisfied?" he wasn't telling the whole story but I knew the pain in his eyes were real.
"I'm... I'm sorry." I breathed. "It's just you left such a..." I hesitated to tell him about the paper and my suspicions. "You ghosted me, never visited me once, missed my birthday, although now I'm saying it I realize you threw me this. But it doesn't still justify that you just left and never showed." I cast my head down.
