That was then, This is now
Doubts
Still stretching I descended the stairs to have breakfast after my beauty sleep.
The house was still quiet having in mind it's 9 am and we went to bed really late after celebrating our private concert last night.
It was pretty fun except from Mia, she avoided me the entire time after our moment backstage. I really don't know what happened either, I guess the excitment spoke for ourselves when we hugged happily but then we almost kissed.
We're supposed to be friends and that was working pretty well to be honest but then that happened...
"Yes honey..." I heard a petite voice coming from the kitchen. But the conversation was only one sided.
I walked quietly not to disturb whoever was there but then I recognized Mia's sillouette. She was holding her phone and pacing back and forth on the kitchen, her back to me obvioustly still unaware of my presence
"... I think next week I fly back home yeah." She said to the device. "Aww I miss you too."
I approached her a little bit more so I could understand who she misses, maybe her friends or mother and sister or also her... boyfriend. I know it's bad to hear other people's talks but now that I was here I couldn't help it.
"Maybe you come her and I show a little bit of England, it's like my second home now and it's not that cold now for the month of April." Is someone else coming here?
"Okay, I'm about to have breakfast now so I call you when I go to sleep like usually okay?" She spoke. "Yes, I'll give you a big kiss when I get to Portugal, Filipe." She chuckled. Oh, so that's him...
"Bye bye, call you later... Me too." She hung up. I tried to tip toe back to my room so she wouldn't notice me.
"Harry?" Ups, too late.
"Yeah?" I turned around slowly a bit ashamed.
"How long have you been there?" She asked frowning.
I couldn't focus very well as her shorts were catching my attention, She had a short shorts looking like big panties a singlet that held her body perfectly popping out her beautiful curves.
"Ehm not long no." I shook my head.
"Oh okay..." She nodded with a shy smile.
Both in silence, I poured some milk in my cup and sat on the kitchen tool in front of Mia who was leaned against the counter nibling some buttered bread. She was oddly quiet with a little frown looking like she was deeply thinking about something.
"We're still friends right?" I asked barely a whisper afraid of her answer. Her face instantly snapped up to reply.
"Of course, why wouldn't we?"
"Nothing." I shrugged.
"Look Harry..." She started with a deep sigh placing her food on the counter and walking towards me. "let's forget the rest and start a clean and fresh friendship okay?"
"You mean forget..."
"Not our relationship of course, but the awkwardness around it okay?"
"Okay." I sighed frustratedly.
"Thank you." She caught me by surprise by giving me a hug. I held her against my body rubbing her back.
"Am I interrupting something?" Oh shit.
"No, of course not." Mia jumped away from me by the sign of Zoey. She was looking at us suspiciously, arms crossed. "I'm getting dressed." Mia excused herself upstairs.
"Hi babe." I kissed her lips.
"What was happening?" She asked still warily.
"Ehm nothing we were just uh hugging." I rubbed the back of my neck unconfortably.
"And why were you hugging?"
"We're friends, friends hug."
"Are you sure because--"
"I'm sure." I held her hand firmly. "I'm sure."
"Because I know you have a past with her and that's something I can't compete with but you told me you broke up and never spoke since then..." She sounded really concerned.
"Yes but we have friends in common and they really like her so somehow he were force to connect again understand? But we're just friends... or at least trying to but that's all."
"Harry if you feel something for her I---" I saw the tears emerging on her eyes.
"No, no I don't." I held her face in my hands looking straight into her watering blue eyes. "I'm with you okay? Only you, please don't cry." I felt terrible for causing her such suffering.
"Promise?" She blinked trying to fight the tears back.
"I promise." I said after a while. She only smiled reaching for my lips. I tangled my hands in her blonde hair and kissed her back.
I felt so bad for this. I know seeing me with Mia hasn't been easy for Zoey but I can't help it, she's with us.
All I could do was try to show Zoey that I'm with her and I'm not leaving.....
Right??
Zoey ended the kiss resting her face on my shoulder and grabbing my waist.
Meanwhile I heard footsteps walkink up the stairs, someone was hearing my conversation with Zoey.
I stretchhed my neck to see who was it but whoever was escaped fast enough only allowing me to see some blonde hair disappear on the upper floor.
Mia??
Notes
Ou oh Zoey is concerned!! I guess a girl knows when her man is not 100% there for her.. ^^Please keep votinggg!! ;))
@M.J.
It's amazing how you know my writing and that I don't do happily ever after which is true but I don't think I've ever mentioned that (?)
And yes, I'm replying 6 months later, sorry.
I do envision the next step after that last chapter ended but that, of course, is gonna stay in my head. :)
