Fate

Chapter 42

I walk in to the restaurant and I don't see Harry anywhere.

"Hi I don't know if there's a reservation or something but I'm looking for a Harry Styles." I say looking at the hostess.

"Right this way ma'am." She says walking away.

I walk behind her and I see Harry standing there with the same flowers he brought me the first time he asked me out.

I also see he's standing in front of the same booth we went in.

"Here you are." She says.

"Your waiter will be here soon."

"Okay, thank you again." Harry says smiling.

My hearts beating really fast right now but I don't acknowledge it.

"You look beautiful." He says putting his hands together over the table.

"Thanks." I smile putting my purse next to me.

"I'm Jake I'll be your server today, What would you like to drink?"The waiter says popping up.

"I'll take a water please. Actually double it." I say looking at Harry.

"Okay." Jake says and walks away.

"So Stella, how are you? I miss you." Harry says.

"I'm fine. You?" I say drinking my water.

"I'm good. Just the same Harry." He says looking at my outfit.

This is too weird.

"Oh cool." I say.

"Alright, what would you two like today?" Jake says pulling out his notepad.

"I'll take the Chicken Lo Mein please." I say handing him my menu.

"I'll get orange chicken with some Lo Mein." Harry says.

"Alright that will be out in a minute." Jake says with a huge fake smile.

"Okay thanks." Harry says.

God Harry looks perfect...

His hair brushed back and his white v neck showing his dove tattoos and his jeans that are tight enough I can see his package.

God.

"So Stel, your with your mum now?" He asks playing with his rings.

"Yeah, I live there now." I say.

"Oh okay." He says biting his lower lip.

"Your still at the apartment?" I ask switching the tension.

"Yeah." He nods.

I can tell that he doesn't want tension between us but why did I come? To talk about things I already know?

"Look Stella. I-" he tries to say but Jake talks instead.

"Alright we have the Orange chicken."

Jake says handing Harry his plate.

"Thank you." Harry says.

"And the Chicken Lo Mein." Jake says putting my plate in front of me.

"Thanks." I say with a small smile.

"Is that all you need?" Our waiter asks.

"No, we're fine but thank you." Harry says.

"Alright." Jake says leaving.

HARRY'S POV

I want to talk to her about us, but I'm afraid that she will get up and leave again.

Why is she so uncomfortable? I can tell she is because she hasn't said a word until I do.

"Miss me?" I say with a smirk.

"Not now Harry." She says shaking her head. Her beautiful hair moves around.

"Not now what? Just answer the damn question." I spit out.

She looks at me with anger.

"Sorry." I correct myself.

"Not now by talking about our past." She says.

"Our past?" I ask.

"Yeah. just don't bother." She says looking away from me.

Gosh, her eyes.

"Don't bother wh- Nevermind." I say rolling my eyes.

STELLA'S POV

We both eat our food and I'm way too full to finish all of mine.

As usual Harry finishes everything.

I sit there and watch him hork his food down.

He finishes his food and takes some of my noodles, ehhhh. The old Harry.

"How are you two?" Jake says.

"We're good. Check please?" I ask.

"Let me pay Stella." Harry says wiping his mouth.

"I'll pay my half." I offer.

"Just take it all of my card, thanks." Harry's says handing Jake his card.

"Why are you so difficult?" I ask him.

"Why couldn't I pay?"

"Because I want to pay. What women pays for their food on a date?" Harry says standing up so we can leave.

"Date? You think this is a date?" I say with confusion.

"Yeah I do." Harry smiles.

I don't answer and I walk to my car.

I notice Harry follows me.

"Yes?" I say.

"Why are we just leaving like this?" Harry asks putting his hand on my trunk.

"Because our dinner is over." I say crossing my arms.

"No it's not. Stella come home with me I miss you." Harry says trying to come closer to me.

"What? No. What do you think this is?" I ask.

"What are you talking about?" He asks moving closer.

"Look don't act like your in love with me just because we were going to have a kid together. You can stop the act! I know that you don't care about me, you just wanted to be there for our child. Well you know what? He or she is gone. We're not together. We never were." I spit out.

"You don't mean that." Harry says looking around us for a crowd.

"Yes I do." I lie.

I know that I might have some feelings for him, but I know that he doesn't feel the way I do.

"I-" Harry spits out before I shut my door to drive off.

I leave and clear my thoughts of everything that just happened.

I get home, take a shower, and go straight to bed. I just want to see my sister and vent out.
