The Strings Attached

Part 12

------------

"This is stupid. Why are you doing this?" He best friend asked.
"I need answers." She said. "I need to know why."

"I haven been here in ages." I sigh as Harrison and I stroll through the park.

"Neither have I. God, I love London." Harrison smiles and we walk a path by a group of trees.

All we do is talk. We just talk and talk as we walk through the park that brought back so many memories from my childhood. Some pretty amazing ones, but some not so fun ones.

Harrison was telling a story when I started getting a hinting feeling someone was behind us. I turned my head quickly to see no one for quite a ways on out path.

"You alright?" Harrison asks, quickly glancing behind him as well.

"Yeah..." I start to trail off. "I just have a funny feeling like someone is trailing us but there's no one there."

Harrison looks at me and burrows his eyebrows in confusion. He just shrugs it off and we continue walking.

"Okay, I'm sorry but this is creeping me out." I say and stop, looking around more carefully.

Harrison stops and looks around too. "Alexa it's fine. You'll be okay."

I shrug my shoulders and sigh, shaking my head in disappointment. "Whatever, let's just go-" I look forward and my eyes are staring into someone's I never wanted to see again. "Oh my god." I say under my breath.

Harrison stiffens and stands up straighter. He glances at me and I take a step back.

"Alexa! How have you been? I haven't seen you in a while." Mike smile and cross there arms. "And Harrison, it's great to see you too." He says in a sarcastic tone.

"What are you doing here?" I ask and cross my arms, looking intimidating.

"Well I live here Alexa, don't I." Mike grins and takes a step closer. He looks more bulky and muscular then I remember. And his hair is on the side I.

"Mike, you should walk the other way." Harrison says taking a step forward, like he's trying to protect me.

"I'm just walking. I'm not hurting the poor thing." And when Mike says that he catches my eye and does a little flicker with his eyebrows and licks his bottom lip. "Anyways it was nice seeing you two! Have a good day."

When Mike walks by I swear I felt his hand brush my ass. I jump forward a bit and when I turn around I see him grin, before walking forward again.

"Can we go back to Tom's place or something?" I suggest.

"Yeah of corse." Harrison says and we start walking it of the park again.

"And Harrison," I start to say. "Can you not tell Tom or Sam or Harry we saw Mike. Please."

I can see Harrison hesitates for a moment before he answers. "Okay." Is all he says.

We walk back to the house in almost compleat silence. Every now and then I see Harrison glance at me, and u glance back but that's pretty much it.

"We're back!" I yell as I walk into the house. I could hear banging of pots in the kitchen.

When I walked past the living room I felt someone pull my wrists and drag me away. "How was it?" It was Sam.

"Sam what the hell?" I whisper shout. "How was what?"

"You know," Sam raises an eyebrow and glances at Harrison. "The date."

"I was not a date!" I roll my eyes and shake it off.

"Bull shit!" Sam grins. "It was totally a date! You even dressed up."

"So wearing a dress since it's the middle of summer is a crime now, really?" I say and cross my arms. "Fine then, how's your girlfriend doing?"

Sam stiffens and tries to avoid my eye contact. "I don't wanna talk about it."
He mumbles.

"Exactly." I smile and walk off. I walk into the kitchen to see Harrison recording stuff on his phone while Harry, Tom and Paddy try to cook. "What the...." I trail off.

"Your brothers don't know how to cook." Harrison smirks from behind me.

"I am see that." I walk up next to Harry and I must of scared him because what ever he was holding was on the floor. "What are you guys doing? Trying to make a mess?"

"We where trying to cook, then Paddy wanted to help. Then Harry can do shit!" Tom screams and glares at Harry.

"That's not my fault you can't cook anything Tom. I'm just trying to help!"
Harry tells back and waves his arms around.

"Don't look at me I'm just an innocent child!" Paddy raises his arms in defence and starts to walk away.

"Oh no Padster Man, you helped make this mess you help clean it up." I say and turn Paddy around, who grumbles and walks back towards Tom and Harrison.

------------

I ended up cooking dinner with Mum and the boys had to clean up everything. And Harrison ended up staying over as well.

"What's your schedule like after filming Tom?" My mum asks as she takes a bite of her food.

Tom shrugs and scrapes his plate with his fork. "Well I have the press tour, and my agent may have a few auditions for me. Plus Marvel wants me on set at the end of January for Infinity War."

Harry fists the air at this since Tom always lets him read the script. I laugh and roll my eyes at those dorks.

"What about you Alexa?" My mum says and looks at.

I blink a few times and stare at her blankly. "Pardon?"

"What are you doing after your brother finishes filming?" She repeats the question again.

"Oh, um..." I stutter and glance at Harrison who is sitting beside me. "Well, I was thinking of joining Tom and Harrison on tour." When I say this Tom nods and we high five from across the table.

"She's writing the second book in her series too." Harrison says all of a sudden, which makes me choke on the water I was drinking.

Harry and Sam's eyes light up when they here that and they both look at each other. "YES!" Sam screams. "Can I read it?"

"Not right now but maybe." I say and glare at Harrison. "I don't know if I like the idea I'm on or not."

"Well, it looked pretty good to me."
Harrison shrugs and takes a bite of his food.

I palm my face and groan. "Whatever. Mum do you need help with the dishes." I say and stand up.

She nods and I collect everyone's plates, while giving Harrison the death stare.
