Truly Sincere [Part 1]

10

the next morning around 9:30 only I was awake and everyone else was still sleeping because we watched two more movies after that, of course both horror and comedy because majority has authority. I went to kitchen with the growling stomach and I shook my head at my hand that I cant even prepare any breakfast for myself, I looked for the leftovers in the refrigerator but there weren't any, I put the bowl on the kitchen bar and pour cereal in it and the whole cereal making process took around 10 minutes, because I was doing it with my left hand, gosh all the times I never realized how lucky I am to be blessed with both hands

"phew! now time to play with the spoon" I looked at my cereal while sitting on the bar stool and started struggling with it

" I cant eat with my left bad hand" I shook my head and left the spoon back in the bowl and as I was getting off of the chair I saw harry coming out of his room in his sweats, his hair was rough but smooth enough that I wanted to run my fingers through his scalp

"hey! good morning!" his morning voice was hoarse, he came and sat on the next barstool while still rubbing his eyes

"good morning! Lion" I smiled at him and he scrunched his nose at me, his sight fell on my bandage

"how's your hand? is it hurting?" he asked concerned and he started putting cereal in my mouth without even asking, he knew I won't eat with my left hand

"Harold! thank you" I smiled while chewing the choco cereal

"for what?" he frowned clueless

"Um! For existing" I tried to joke

"You silly he laughed nodding his head, while putting the spoon in the empty bowl, when cereal was finished

"seriously! you've given me so much respect and care I'm not really habitual of being cared, neither my parents did for me" I sighed and whispered the last part, but he heard it

"you're wrong! parents do care for their children they just don't really show it" he shook his head

"but my case is a little bit different" I tried to smile through it but couldn't, and I felt bad for crying out loud, everyone has their baggage you should handle your own, I said to myself

"I'm not sure if I should ask this question, but how come you don't mention them? And you don't talk to them, do you?" he asked sheepishly

"not really, since my engagement was called off" I sighed and looked in the bowl

"I'm sorry" he said in guilt tone

"no! don't be, it's okay, I'm glad it happened" I smiled at him and put my non injured hand on his on the kitchen bar

" you are so inspiringly strong" he said smiling at me

"I'm just trying to move forward with my this part of life, I'm trying to be happy around you guys, and I'm glad, I'm at a right place" I said smilingly and my eyes filled with the tears of happiness

"I'm glad too" he patted the top of my hand and held it warmly

"you know I have never felt so comfortable around anyone, like I feel around you" I said and he smiled toothily at me, he leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on my cheek

"me too" he whispered while looking into my eyes and my cheeks started burning for an unknown reason, because it was not a friendly one, it was something different something intimate and real, I said nothing but gazed into his eyes, I could smell his fresh breath on my face

"Good morning birdies" Alex said while stretching her arms like a while cat while yawning and when she looked at us she darted her eyeballs out, we both looked at her and she didn't say anything and went straight to the kitchen

"my best friend is going to make breakfast for me, right?" harry stood up and teased Alex

"nope!! I'm not going to" she casually shook her head and started humming

"yes you are" he kissed on the top of her head and ran away towards the lounge couch and my heart inside my chest twitched that and my mind was trying to tell me that it was a friendly kiss he gave me too on cheek, but my heart was pounding to argue with my mind

"so! what were you both doing?" Alex asked toothily, while folding her elbows on the kitchen bar

"he just helped me in eating cereal and we were gossiping casually" I tried to say it casually but my words were stuck in my throat and my heart was beating so fast and I felt that I lost my train of thoughts and I could still feel his lips on my cheek

"really? okay I believe you" she replied and turned back towards preparing her breakfast, I sighed under her questionnaire and she looked at me and opened her mouth to say something

"Okay! No more questions" I warned her while pointing my finger at her

"okay! I was just about to look at your hand" she surrendered her hands in the air and looked at my bandages

"oh! It's just fine" I casually brushed it off
