Harry, Edward And Marcel

Chapter Seventeen - A friend

I got up and walked into the kitchen, it was 4pm and I was getting kind of hungry. I turned around and noticed Edward walking up to my house. He saw me look at him through the window and walked inside.

“Hey Mary” he said while texting
“What’s up?”
“Did Marcel just leave?”
“Uh, yeah he said he was going to work, it’s an emergency.”
“Work? Do you know when he’ll be back?”
“He said he’ll be back at around nine.”
“Damn it. I needed him for something.”
“Oh, yeah he’s gone. What did you need?”
“I wanted him to take me to my friend’s house.”
“Oh, well, I could take you?”
“Can you?”
“Yeah, I’ll get my keys.”

Edward walked out in front of me and I followed him to my car.

“So where does he live?”
“Just drive straight up the road I’ll tell you when to turn.”
“Kay”

I drove straight and waited for Edward to tell me where to go

“Um, turn left” he said calmly while going through his phone
“Do you have a ride back?”
“Um, I don’t know yet, I’ll probably just call Harry or something”
“Oh alright”
“Yeah what’s up with you and him by the way?”
“Nothing.”
“Come on you can tell me.”
“Um… well he says he’s in love with me…”
“Well, I know that Mary.”
“Well what else do you want to know?”
“How do you feel about it?”
“I feel awkward… I’m in love with Marcel and Harry can’t accept it. It’s all so stressful.”
“Wow that sucks. Turn right. And go into that parking lot over there.”
“Um. Edward. Why are we at the mall?” I said while staring at him
“I’ll go to my friends after, come on. You needed to get out of that house.”
“You could have told me before I walked out of the house in sweats.”
“Haha you look fine Mary. Come on.”

He grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the entrance.

“There’s so many people in here oh my God”
“Mary. Shut up. You look beautiful” He smiled playfully

We shopped around for hours not noticing the time or how dark it was getting outside. It was the most fun I’ve had in weeks and I’m happy to have someone to spend time with when Marcel isn’t at home to keep me company.

“Mary, look” He said while showing me his phone
“It’s nine thirty?”
“Damn I should have called my friend…” he smiled
“Yeah we’d better get back.”
“Alright, here. I’ll take your bags”
“Thanks”

We ran to the car and started driving back to my house

“Mary, you’re so cool”
“I’m cool?” I laughed
“Yeah, you’re the coolest girl I’ve ever met”
“Thanks, you’re not so bad yourself”
“Haha yeaah” he said “Did you not like the way I acted when I first said something to you?”
“I don’t think anyone would have like that…” I laughed
“Yeah I did act kind of stupid, sorry about that by the way… What didn’t you like about me when you first saw me?”
“Ha, your tattoos”
“Whattt? What is wrong with my tattoos?”
“Nothing, I've just never really liked guys with tattoos….”
“Look at this one. Tell me that’s not cool.” He said while pointing at a small dragon on his arm
“Not impressed” I laughed
“Oh really. Here, look.”

Edward took off his shirt reviling more tattoos

“My God, Edward what are you doing?”
“Look, this tattoo. It’s pretty badass.”

He wasn’t wearing his shirt and suddenly it got really hot in the car. I stared.

“What?” he asked
“Um… nothing… just… you know… um… oh, my gosh… nothing…” I hesitated
“Mary do you want me to put my shirt back on..?”
“That’d be helpful…”

Edward smiled at me and put his shirt on and a few minutes later we got back to my house. Marcel was waiting at the door.
