Sarah and Ed were over. Ed brought pizza and Sarah brought cookies.

Sarah spoke "so are you going to update me on you and Harry?"

"Well we're officially dating."

Ed said "no way congratulations!"

Sarah rolled her eyes "how did that happen?"

I laughed at Sarah's reaction "Well he apologized for ghosting me. He said he didn't want to be just a friend but was also scared of being in a relationship because he's never been in one."

Sarah said "ok what about what happened at the bar?"

Ed spoke "I talked to Louis apparently Harry was completely fucked up on a bunch of shit.

I nodded and said "that's what Harry said too."

Sarah shook her head "you're letting him off to easy. The Harry I heard of is a complete dick."

Ed laughed "Harry can be a dick but he's a good mate. And he's completely changed the way he is with woman since lexy."

Sarah nodded and said "Lex if you're happy I'm happy for you. I just don't want to see you get hurt."

"I know" I sighed biting into my pizza

Ed said "if he hurts you I'll beat his ass for you"

Sarah said "you and I both"

I laughed.

My phone rang.

Harry.

'Hello?'
'Hey I just got back into town have you eaten?'
'Yeah Ed and Sarah came over with food'

Sarah yelled is that Harry? tell him to join the party!

'You can come join us if you would like.'
'I don't want to intrude'
'You're not we are just hanging out eating and talking.'
'Alright I'll be there in a few'

A few minutes later Harry knocked I opened the door He leaned forward and kissed me.

We walked into the living room and Harry said "I brought beer and these fruity hard seltzers."

Ed cheered.

I introduced Harry and Sarah

Sarah said "I've seen you around but we've never spoken."

Harry nodded "you work at the thrift shop right?"

She smiled "yeah!"

We sat around drinking and talking.

Sarah said "you're not as much of a dick as you come off Harry."

I facepalmed at how Sarah literally speaks her mind.

Harry and Ed both started laughing

Sarah said "hey I'm saying in a nice way!"

Harry laughed "I am a dick if you're not my friend. I'm not going out of my way for anyone. That's how people think they can walk all over you."

Sarah held her drink up "ok I agree with you on that"

A week later.
We had plans on going to the bar. I invited Sarah to come with

I sat on the bathroom counter doing my makeup Harry walked into the bathroom eating a handful of grapes. He popped the last one into my mouth.

"Do you think I should cut my hair?" He asked while combing his finger through it.

I gasped "no absolutely not"

"You like it long?" he smirked

"Yes" I turned to look at Harry "does my make up look ok?"
