Darling [h.s]

"Harry" I say monotone, trying to keep my composure.

"hmm?" He says with that stupid smirk still present on his face.

"I'll call myself an uber right now" I warn, raising an eyebrow at him.

The smirk immediately falls from his face and he clears his throat, "Let's get you home" Harry motions his head towards the door and I nod with a mocking smile. Following him to the parking lot and to his car.

Once I gave Harry my address we begin driving in silence. I already cannot wait for this car ride to be over, but unfortunately I live about 20 minutes away from this bar.

I have settled on just staring forward and avoiding looking at him, basically I'm pretending that he isn't there. I'll just act like he is just my uber driver tonight. But that plan is ruined when Harry decides to break the silence,

"This would be the perfect time to talk ab-"

"I wonder what's playing on the radio" I interrupt, quickly turning it on and cranking up the volume.

"Pursuit of Happiness" begins blasting through the speakers of the car, "I love this song" I yell over the music.

Harry's seems to snap out of his stunned state and reaches out to turn the volume down going to open his mouth to speak but before he can get any words out I reach out and turn the volume back up.

"Darlene" Harry yells over the music and I can hear the annoyed tone laced in his voice,

"What??" I yell, "I can't hear you, just enjoy the music" I say acting confused and going to look forward again.

I see Harry reach forward to turn the volume down again out of the corner of my eye and I quickly go to turn it back up but his hand catches my wrist when I'm inches away from the dial.

"Don't even think about it" Harry says guiding my hand back to my side.

I just smile at him acting innocent.

"We can change the station if you don't like the song, I'm not picky" I say shrugging.

I just need to keep him off the subject of what happened last night for the remaining 15 minutes of this car ride.

"No, you have lost radio privileges" Harry says pointing at me with a serious tone.

"That's no fair" I say pouting.

But when I turn to look at Harry I see a warning glare on his face and suddenly I decide to just shut the fuck up. I just snap my head forward once again, why the hell is he so intimidating?

"Darlene" Harry says in a stern voice.

"Harry" I say back in a hesitant tone continuing to stare forward, Harry has never yelled at me out of anger and I am actually kind of scared he is about to lose his shit. Maybe I took it a little too far, but I already told him I didn't want to have this conversation.

"We are going to talk about what happened last night because we are mature adults" Harry states in a concerningly calm voice, so calm that I just know he's two seconds away from snapping. "Do you think you can handle that?" He says in a mocking tone giving me a mocking smile.

I glare at him, I don't care how mad he is I fucking dare him to push my buttons. Suddenly my fear is replaced with anger. Fine, Harry is you wanna have this conversation while I'm angry so be it.

"Can you handle that Darlene?" Harry repeats himself again with more anger from my lack of response.

"Fine, you wanna have this conversation right now, go for it" I say letting out a laugh in disbelief. Crossing my arms over my chest and looking forward.
