Mal's Little Sister (Harry Hook)

Chapter Seven - Such a flirt.

I know that it had only, in reality, been a few days without entering the shop but as I pushed open the two, splintering saloon doors and the scent of greasy, seafood hit me- It truly felt like home once more.

Harry walked in first which announced a powerful presence to all of the commoners sitting, waiting for their food as word seemed to have quickly spread- Uma and Melanie, the two most feared people on the isle had a fight. So not many people were expecting me to walk around the corner, flinging my cutlass into the sword check barrel and following Harry over the top of the table and onto the other side, where only the highest of Uma's crew stand.

I watched as a flash of turquoise braids, appeared around the corner from the kitchen and slid a tray towards Harry and I, still not bothering to look up until Harry forcefully cleared his throat to grab her attention. Once her face tilted up and our eyes met, she had a limited flash of shock, a slight look of guilt before covering it and having a stern expression once more.

Harry stepped back so that he was shielding the view from a few of the on-lookers in the shop
"You two, upstairs, don't give these scum a show" Harry growled, lowly so that only we could hear. Uma gave a slight nod and she turned back around, making her way through to the back room and towards her staircase. Harry nodded towards me and showed a slight smile, of which I returned and begun to follow Uma.

"Hey, erm, I-" I began to speak as we approached her room but she cut me off
"No, let me, it's defiantly my faulty Mel. I got mad at your sister and just... Exploded" She explained and I nodded to show I understood

"Uma you need to remember, you ain't the only one on this isle that hates my sister- even I do! We WILL get revenge on that selfish, stuck up fraud" I told her and she looked up at me, smiling with a huge grin on her face

"Yeah we will, and she won't know what hit her" She laughed, pulling me into a hug
"I missed you around here girl! Harry was sitting around like a lost puppy" She hinted as she nudged my side slightly with her bony elbow
"Shut up does he" I altered, rolling my eyes at her- we might be the leaders of the most feared gangs on the isle but realistically, we are still teenage girls.

She soon suggested that we went back down before havoc starts to wreak without their Captain around, as I made my way down the stairs and pushed open the doors the back room, Harry was blocking my path with a hopeful smile on his face.

"So?" He asked me, I decided to tease him and pulled a sad smile, looking towards the ground and shaking my head slowly
"It's good" I giggled as I looked back up into his adorable, sky blue eyes. He still had traces of black eyeliner from yesterday which he didn't completely clean off, but that just adds to the rugged, evil look he has going. It also makes the blue in his eyes really pop- contrasting to both the red in his outfit and the black eyeliner

"So everything is back to normal?" Harry questioned and I grinned over at him, taking a small step closer and wrapping my arms around his neck
"Better than normal- perfect" I murmured into his coat as I rested my head on his shoulder, he let out a deep chuckle and pulled me closer to him before lifting my feet off the ground, spinning me around lightly.
"Just like you then, Princess" He smiled as he placed me on the counter top

"Oi! Love birds!" Uma called over from the other end of the counter, I was about to look over to where Uma was standing when I glanced over to Harry and our eyes met once more. He was staring into my eyes, once I noticed, I couldn't look away
I watched as he flickered between both of my eyes before they darted down to my lips. His usually light eyes grew darker- more cerulean than sky blue and he closed the gap by taking one step closer to me. I reached up with both of my hands and grabbed hold of his coat, gently pulling him down to my height, leaning my face closer and closer to his.

He was just about to close the gap and lean in but I sneakily dodged him and whispered in his ear
"Not here" Before I jumped down off the banister, walking over towards Uma, I glanced back at Harry who was now turned facing my back with one hand leaning against the counter and a huge smirk spread across his face

"You'll be the death of me, Princess"
