Round Again We Go
Chapter 5
The music was way too loud to fully understand the conversation being exchanged between Harry and his friend. One thing I didn't understand was why did Harry want to come to a club where there were hot sweaty people bumping and grinding everywhere to really loud music just to meet some friends. And why have a conversation right in between a bunch of people trying to dance? Maybe he was just use to all the noise since again he has crowds of girls screaming at him for his profession. I was standing idly by his side as him and his 'pal' were talking. Gazing around to see a drunk dude stumbling around and bumping into a girl. The girl tumbled down and what I am guessing is her boyfriend started throwing punches at the drunk. I patted Harry's shoulder and reached up to tell him I was going to get a drink. Without breaking eye contact with his friend, he nodded and continued on speaking about something I had no clue about. I sat down at the bar and called over a bar tender. Right next to me, someone sat down. My curiosity got the best of me and I glanced over to see a pretty attractive guy. He smiled and winked.
"I'll have what she is having." The guy spoke the bar tender before she left.
"Hope you like Ginger Ale." I said.
"Good thing because I'm driving tonight." He laughed.
"Yeah, good thing." I repeated, letting out a sigh and resting my chin on my arms.
"I'm Dave." The man said sticking his hand out.
"I'm taken."
"Oh, well it isn't a bad thing to make new friends right?"
"If my boyfriend has trouble with me living with a guy, he probably wouldn't like me having any more male friends."
"Sounds like he is controlling." Dave said.
"No, he is fine."
"Are you sure, he sounds pretty controlling if he won't let you be friends with guys."
"He doesn't control me, and I am pretty sure he isn't approving of this conversation according to the look he is giving us." I said nodding over to the pair of eyes gazing over at us.
"Hey, it's that the bloke from One Direction, uh what's his name?"
"Harry Styles."
"I guess you don't need me paying for your drink when he can pay for a hundred!" Dave laughed slapping his knee along as if it was the funniest thing ever.
"I guess." I shrugged.
"Well I heard these famous guys don't treat females in relationships well."
"He treats me fine."
"I'm sure he does with all that money."
"I don't like him for his money."
"Sure."
"Well nice talking to you...."
"Dave."
"Dave, Again nice talking to you but I should go now." I said standing up. I started digging in my purse to find some money for the drink.
"No, no, no, don't let ladies pay. I got it." Dave said reaching to get his wallet.
"Thank you." I smiled politely.
Harry was standing alone now and had his eyebrows raised with his arms crossed over his chest waiting for me.
"A friend of yours?" He asked.
"Now he is."
"You sure like making friends with a lot of guys."
"So? You have a lot of female friends and at least I don't sleep with mine."
"Bricklyn." Harry said sternly.
"Let's not argue right now. Can we please go, I have a headache and the music isn't helping." I begged.
"Sure, let's go." Harry said grabbing my head and guiding me towards the exit.
We got outside and started walking.
"Have you ever thought of having sex with one of your guy friends?" He asked.
"What? No, ew no. I don't see them in any way like that and besides none of them are as handsome as you." I smiled up at Harry.
"Good." He squeezed my hand. "Are you hungry?" He asked eyeing up a small cafe.
"Harry it's almost midnight." I laughed.
"I'm starving." He whined.
"Okay okay, let's go you big baby."
The lights were off meaning Kevin was either not home or asleep and I wasn't going to wake up the cranky man. I shut the door as quietly as possible in case Kevin was home and sleeping on the couch. He usually sleeps on the sofa except when I am already asleep on it or he has a girl over for the night then he'll sleep in his bed. I turned around ready to tip toe to my room until a light flickered on.
"It's two in the morning young lady!" Kevin spoke in such a deep tone.
"And?"
"You were supposed to be home at 9:30."
"No I wasn't and last I remembered you are weird and not my dad."
"We talked about 9:30. Now I need to ground you." Kevin continued talking in the deep voice.
"We never talked about that and I am going to bed."
"Come back here child! We need to discuss your punishment!"
"You are so weird." I hollered.
"You get to do the dishes for a whole week!" Kevin called.
"Goodnight Kevin." I said before shutting my down.
I awoke to the sun streaming in my eyes from the curtains and the annoying vibration coming from somewhere under my sheets. I dug around trying to find the cause of the buzzing, finally found my phone with Harry's name on the screen.
"Hello?" I croaked.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." He laughed.
"How can you be up this early?" I asked checking the clock. It wasn't even close to noon.
"I am a busy boy."
"Yeah a busy boy who is sleep deprived."
"Yes, I’m a little tired but that all right. Anyways the reason why I called you is that their is a dinner party I need to go too and I am asking if you want to accompany me there and be my date?"
"Well shoot, I'm flattered you asked me but I don't know. A dinner party? Where I have to act all fancy and wear fancy clothes and talk fancy? I don't think I am up for it." I joked.
"Bricklyn, it isn't that sort of dinner party. Just have to wear a pretty dress and socialize." He laughed.
"Then I guess you have yourself a date."
"Fantastic! I will be round at 7 to pick you up."
Like Harry said, the dinner party wasn't those fancy ones where you had to use two different spoons or forks and make polite talk. Everyone was just gathered around the room chatting and laughing all in either button up shirts or casual dresses. Harry guided us over to a few people chatting with each other and greeted them while introducing me. They started chatting up Harry leaving me standing awkwardly by his side. I took a look around the room where a tall blonde girl caught my attention. She looked familiar but I couldn't guess from where. She was extremely gorgeous. She laughed at something someone said. She didn't look like a retarded seal unlike me when I laughed. I felt embarrassed upon looking at her. Finally a man in a white apron came out and announced dinner was ready and to take our seats. Harry took my hand and lead me to the table sitting me down right across the blonde girl. Harry looked uncomfortable once he saw the girl. Harry cleared his throat.
"Nice to see you here Dia." He forced out.
"Goes for you too." She smiled politely.
Dia? Do I know a Dia? Dia. Dia. Dia. Di- Dia! Oh hell no! Now it all makes sense. Tall, beautiful, skinny, laughs pretty, Harry's awkwardness around her. This is the bitch that broke Harry and I up!
"Don't be rude Harry, introduce your friend." Dia said nodding over to me.
"She isn't a friend, she is my girlfriend. Bricklyn this is-"
"Dia. Well it's nice to meet you." I cut Harry off, giving Dia a nice tight smile.
"Nice to meet you too Bricklyn. So how long have you and Harry been dating." She asked batting her eyes like she had no clue.
"Oh we dated two years ago for a whole year and then things got...complicated. But we are trying again."
"So you're the one who dated Harry before me?" It was easy to tell that she already knew that.
"That is me, and now I am here again, with him."
"Well I hope you two are happy together." She said tightly.
Harry was about to speak but someone called his name down the table. Through the whole dinner I could feel Dia staring at me, even after we ate and were gathered around again talking with others, I could feel her stares. I was having a discussion about how interesting my frizzy curled red hair was when I heard what the group was talking about near me.
"I can't believe he dared to bring the rebound with him." Someone said.
"I feel so bad for Dia though, she must feel horrible seeing him with her." Another spoke.
"Does the girl even know?"
"I don't think so, or she might. I don't know what Harry has told her."
"Well still, I think it was very inappropriate to bring her."
I could feel the tears building up in my eyes and knew I was going to cry any moment. I had to excuse myself from the conversation I was having. I grabbed my bag and took off. I was hoping no one noticed my disappearance and warn Harry about it, or even have Harry notice. Maybe no one would care since all of them think I am a rebound. I hope Harry wouldn't notice my departure before I was able to get far from the dinner. I fumbled around in my bagging grabbing my phone and hitting the call button. I wiped the tears off my cheek and waited for him to pick up.
"Hello?" Kevin sounded on the other end.
"Kevin can you pick me up?" I asked trying not to let my voice crack.
"Uh, yeah yeah just tell me where you are and I will be there in a few."
I looked around and told him what the signs said.
"I am just going to keep walking so drive around and try to find me."
"Be careful Bricklyn." Kevin said before hanging up.
I continued walking. Still wiping the tears from my eyes. Someone parked their car on the side of the street and came running across the street. I had no doubt it was Harry.
"Bricklyn!" Harry called rushing towards me.
He came up behind me and grabbed my arm spinning me around. Once I saw his face, I broke down in tears. He pulled me to his chest, rubbing my back.
"What's wrong babe?" He asked rocking me soothingly.
"Everyone thinks I am a rebound." I sulked into his shirt.
"A what?" Harry asked pulling me away to look at me.
"I heard others saying how it was inappropriate that you brought me because of Dia." I started crying harder.
"No, no, don't worry about her or the rest. I didn't know she was going to be there." Harry said pulling me into his chest once again.
"I don't want to go back."
"I am not going to make you."
I pulled away from Harry to dig my phone out.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked.
"Calling Kevin." I said putting the phone to my ear.
Harry took me to his place after I informed Kevin that his service was appreciated but not needed anymore. Harry let me wear one of his shirts and and a pair of shorts for bed. Once in bed, he pulled me closer to him so I was basically cradled against him.
"You alright." He murmured against my hair.
"I'm fine."
"Just making sure. Sorry about tonight." He apologized.
"It's okay."
"No it isn't. You shouldn't have heard that." He brushed his hand down my hair.
"But I did."
"Still, they had no right to to talk about our relationship when they don't know anything about it." " "Let's don't talk about it okay? I am tired and just want to sleep." I yawned nestling closer into Harry.
"Okay, goodnight Bricklyn."
I yawned once more. "Goodnight."
