The Lucky One

Harry's POV

I felt Julia leave my side the next morning. At first I thought she was going to the bathroom or something but after seeing her pick up her clothes I knew what she was trying to do. So this was how she wanted to play. After I heard the door slam I looked out the apartment window and saw her frizzled figure walking briskly down the street. She had managed to leave some of her articles of clothing here. One was in fact a bra.


I decided that if this how she wanted to go, well two could play at this game. She needed to get the fuck a hold of herself. She wasn't as special as she thought she was. I walking into the coffee shop with some girl Lily I had met at the club a few nights before. I n my arm I held a bag containing her bra and socks from last night. I instantly saw her behind the register, white nike air force 1s, short levi cut offs, a tiny white halter top and matching denim jacket was her ensemble of the day. I mentally applauded her considering she had left my house just hours before. She was taking to that loud friend of hers when she saw me and looked up. For some reason she seemed to pay more attention to the girl next to me than me herself. We sat down and I stared at her until she came over.


"What can I get for you guys?" She acted as if she didnt even know me, and was blatantly ignoring the girl across from me. Suddenly Lily of whoever the girl was cleared her throat.

"Excuse me Juls honey do you have any juices here? I am on a raw diet."


"No sorry Lily, I dont think that would help you anyways though!" Julia's smile was so wide I could barely believe what just came out of her mouth!.


"Oh don't worry silly, I don't want to look like some anorexic girl like you, All of my roommates at HARVARD are trying it for the summer. You wouldn't understand though as you would never be able to leave this shit town. Are you fucking anyone for money yet"


"No just all of your ex boyfriends who needed something a bit more...exciting." At this Julia smiled at me. This was all just a game to her. She enjoyed me around her little finger, hell I did too.



"Now now ladies settle, Darling, Juls, Can I just have my regular?" I looked up at her.


"You don't fucking have a regular Harry, but I will fix something up."


When Julia walked away Lily started some whole story about her and Jules were enemies in high school and how did I know Julia anyways. This bitch was annoying me.


"I fucked her." I looked up at Lily who had a look of disgust on her face. This was funny.


"Yeah I need to return her bra,"I opened the bag to my left slightly and let Lily peek inside.


She made an exasperated sound and stormed off. I smiled to myself and sat into the cafe for a few more hours drinknig some coffee's and teas. Waiting to see when Julia got off her shift. She came around every so often asking for me to leave.

I just smiled. Pretty soon I saw her grab her sunglasses and skateboard and I followed her out the door.


"How long are you going to follow me dingus?" She inquired this about a few silent steps later.




"As long as it takes" I gave her a wink and she rolled her eyes.



I followed her into a corner store by the beach where she bought a bottle of cheap wine, cigarettes and some of those cheap American fake doughnut things in small narrow packages. Hostess of something.



I followed her to the edge of the beach. She made her way towards the sand just as the sun was setting. I sat next to her.



“Is this what you do every night?” I asked her



“No, I just don’t want to remind you of where I live.” She looked at me from the corner of her eyes and lite one her cigarettes with shaky hands. It wouldn’t lite so I grabbed my lighter and brought it close to her face. Her lips were inches from mine.



She opened the package of doughnuts and offered me one. I shook my head.



She insisted I try one. They were sickly sweet, but I was starving and they were delicious. She nodded at the bottle of wine, hinting for me to open. I grabbed the brown plastic bag.



“Do you drink every night.” I asked her.



“I’m 19.” It didn’t really answer the question. She drank the wine I watched her. She was mesmerizing. I wanted her more and more. We talking about dumb things. Nothing serious but it was important at the same time. She told me stories about Vinnie the man who worked at the grocery store. And Jess, the old woman who owner her laundromat. At one point she laid her head in my lap and I tugged on her blonde waves. She shooed my hands away. We then continues to try some slam poetry and impromptu rapping. I didn’t like how I was starting to feel, too sensitive, it was good but I was too distracted by her face and body and words. Mine became a whole bunch of mush in my mouth.



She had fallen asleep there in my lap. I looked at my watch. We had spent 5 hours together. I was near 12. I took the burnt out cigarette from her fingers it had left tiny burn on the insides of them. I genty lifted her head from my lap and carried her to my apartment
