" Broken Love " H.S (#Wattys2015)

Chapter Sixty One

I kept my phone on the table and chopped onions and all the other things that needed for pasta, I also kept all the ingredients on the table so that it will be easy and take less time. I checked the cooking book amd step by step I followed everything that was written in it. Slowly the smell of the pasta started lingering in the kitchen and it was not that bad, ten more minutes and then the pasta will be ready. I checked the time on the phine and it was going to be 8.

"Dang it", did I take that much time, I thought to myself. I looked around in the kitchen and it was in a huge mess, If harry comes down and sees it he will lose his mind, by the way why is he taking so much time and also why is Tom still not here, just then the door bell rings, I quickly go and open the door and there was Tom with polly bags in his hand.

"Could you please help me out", he asks, I smiled and took the stuffs from him, I only told him to get coke and fresh beans seems like he has got all the grocery shop here.

"What took you so long and what's with all these stuffs" I ask

"Sorry, I ran into a friend so got late, he said "I just got some juice and stuffs and yeah also some beers for me and harry"

"You guys are not boozing", I said

"Common don't be a party pooper " he said, while keeping the stuffs on the kitchen table, he looks around the kitchen with wide eyes

"What happened here?" He asks, I forgot that I had to check if pasta was done, and finally it was ready

"Sorry I made the mess" I flush

"If harry sees iti don't know he will react"he smirks

"I know right, Tom can you help me out", I ask

"Okay"he said and we quickly clean the kitchen, I wash the extra dishes meanwhile Tom keeps all the stuffs in the fridge, he also cleans the table and soon we were joined by harry.

"Hey when did you come"he asks

"Few minutes back"he said

"And why are you cleaning my kitchen" he asks

"Was just helping Christy" Tom said, and finally I was done washing the utensils, harry looks at the pasta and smiles.

"It looks good, I hope it taste good too", he said and Tom chuckles

"it will", I said

"Anyways I got beer for both of us"Tom said

"I am not drinking " Harry said

"Common harry don't be a bitch" Tom said

"Fine just one bottle" he said

"Cool and we are going to watch football game too", Tom said

"Oh yeah I forgot" he said

"Christy are you going to booze with us" harry asks

"Nope you guys have fun, I have to do some work", I said

"Okay" he said

"I am going to take shower, you guys carry on" I said, they both nod and walk to the living room. Shit I forgot that I don't have my clothes here, what am I suppose to wear, I try to find if any of my stuffs are lying in his guest room , I check the closet but there was no clothes and then I checked in the bathroom my garments were hanging in the nook, I flush thinking that what if harry has seen it, and I must have forgotten to take it with me that day. Thank god harry didn't say anything about it which means he hasn't seen it yet. I take the garments with me and then walk towards harry's room, I have to wear one of harry's shirt for today but then how will I go in front of tom in harry's shirt. Maybe I will tell harry to get my dinner in his room, I lock his room door and check his closet for a clean shirt. I didn't expect his closet to be filled with colorful shirts I thought it will only be black and white shirts, I took out a grey shirt and a towel amd went to the bathroom, it was quite furnished, there was a bath tub I clapped my hands happily finally I can relax in the warm water, I let the water run and stripped out of my clothes and locked the bathroom door just in case Tom doesn't barge in accidentally. I got in the tub and the water was warm, I lie in the tub and took a nap. Later I heard the door pounding, I quickly woke up for a second I thought I might have forgotten to lock the bathroom door and I don't remember how my nap turned into a proper sleep.

"Christy you in there" Harry asks

"Um yeah I am in here" I said

"Okay, I thought you might have fallen asleep or something" he said

" I will be out in few, harry can you get my dinner upstairs because I don't want to come down in your shirt" I said

"You can wear one of my boxers", he said

"What?" I said

"You heard me, I will take out a fresh one and keep it on the bed, you can come out and wear it later", he said

"Okay thank you" I said, I heard him leave the room, I got under the shower and then got out, he has kept a black boxer on the bed, I was already wearing his grey shirt and the put in his boxer, I checked myself in the mirror and I was looking funny. My stomach was growling which means time for me to eat. I went down and both harry and tom were busy watching the football game. And seems like tom has already finshed two bottles of beer. I hear both of them talking about something so I hide behind the pillar and listen.

"You know I met Michelle today", Tom said

"Where?", harry asked

"Grocery store when I was buying the stuffs that Christy asked me to get", he said

"Okay", harry said

"She was asking about you and that she regrets about whatever happend", Tom said

"Too late", harry said

"I know I told her that you're already happy with someone else, and she wanted to know who it was but I didn't tell her", Tom said,

"Did you tell Christy about it?" Harry asks

"Nope" tom said

"Don't tell her, harry said and he just nods and then starts watching the game again. When Tom told me he ran into a friend it was Michelle, I thought to my self Gosh why can't she just go away from harry's life, and why doesn't harry want me to know about this, Is he going to meet her behind my back, why does his past has to come back as a flashback, hearing about her makes me sad and insecure, I feel like I am not good enough for harry as compared to Michelle I don't even know if I make him happy or excited. I think I am not really meant for relationships. I walked towards them and act normal like I didn't hear their conversation.

"Hey guys should I get you dinner", I ask

They both turn their faces towards me, harry checks me out from head to toe, I blush, and they both look at each other, I knew what they were thinking whether I have heard their conversation or not "Umm no thanks we will have later" Tom says. I shrug and walk towards the kitchen. I put the pasta in the oven to heat up and take out a coke from the fridge. I sat on the table and went through my gallery in the phone and all the old photos made me sad, my gallery was filled with Stella and I photo and some with Nick too, these days me and Stella don't even get time to sit and talk like the old times, I mean I feel like she has changed and also that she maybe deep down she still hates me for what happened in the past. The oven beeps which means finally the pasta is warm enough to eat. I take the pasta out and keep on the table and then took a plate and served myself. The smell was good I hope it tastes good too otherwise harry wouldn't stop teasing me. I was about to eat when harry joins me I the kitchen he comes and sits next to me.
