When he pulled away, he rested his forehead on mine. “Fuck, I’ve missed you.”
“I didn’t go anywhere,” I reminded him.
“I know,” he shrugged. “But not speaking to you was hell. There was no-one to remind me to show up on time.”
“You were late like, once.” I rolled my eyes.
“One time too many.”
“Why were you late that day?” I frowned, pulling away to look up at him. “Were you fighting?”
He shook his head. “No. I wouldn’t break a promise to you.”
“Did you…” I shook my head, trailing off. “No.”
He looked at me curiously. “Did I what?”
“It’s stupid.”
“Tell me.”
“No.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Brenna.”
“Don’t worry!”
“Please?”
“Were you with another girl?” I questioned, and his face fell.
“Do you really think I’d do that?”
“No, I didn’t… That. No, that came out wrong.”
“I didn’t see anyone. I don’t care what you think happened between us, to me, I was still with you.”
“Dan thought we broke up.”
“Dan can go fuck himself.”
“Language! And don’t be mean.”
“Sorry.”
“Aw, you two are so fucking cute, aren’t you?” I jumped at the voice and Harry tensed, turning his head towards the voice. Nicholas. He looked scruffier than the last time I had seen him, which had been a while.
“Oh for fuck’s sake,” Harry cursed.
“Tut, tut. What did your girlfriend say about language? She is your girlfriend, right?” Nicholas taunted, not moving.
“Yes, is there a problem?” Harry sneered, pushing me behind him gently. I gritted my teeth.
“I knew it. She’s a bitch, you know. A lot feistier than the usual lot. And she seems to be sticking by you.”
“Hey, why don’t you come here and fucking--” Harry began, but I cut him off.
“Don’t let him win.” I whispered.
“Wouldn’t be surprised if I was infertile after the knee she gave me.” His eyes fell on mine. I refused to let him win.
“Good, you deserve it, you arse.”
“I see Harry’s been rubbing off on you.”
“What’s it to you?”
“He’s not a good influence, is he now? Druggie.”
“Druggie?” I looked at Harry, watching his jaw get tenser by the minute. Nicholas was trying to provoke him. And it was working.
“Oh, yeah. Marijuana.”
“He’s lying, isn’t he?” I asked Harry, who kept his eyes on Nicholas.
Suddenly, a pair of flashing lights invaded my vision, accompanied with a siren. The police. The police were here? For who? Fear took over my body as I watched Harry; Nicholas completely forgotten as Harry stepped back.
