《Flatmates》34
Advertisement
A week had passed since I last saw Harry. Money had become incredibly tight, so I had made the decision to give up the warehouse and office to work solely from home. As the last box was dumped in the dining room I felt like a failure. The stock was still selling, just not quickly enough to cover all of my overheads.
I had set up my laptop and printer at one end of the dining table, the other end for packing. I sat and sorted through all of my emails, printing the postage labels and order slips for the day. It wasn't so bad working from home - it meant that I didn't need to get dressed.
See me today? Please? X
Okay. I have lots to fill you in on anyway. Will be working for a few hours - meet me at 12? X
See you then X
Orders all packed and bagged ready to be collected by the courier in the morning, I grabbed myself a quick shower and got myself dressed. By the time I got to the entrance of the apartment block, Harry was waiting in his car for me.
We headed to the nearest cafe, grabbing our drinks and sitting ourselves at a little booth in the corner.
'So what's been going on?'
'I can't afford the warehouse anymore. I have had to get rid of my staff and love everything back to the flat. It's been a bit chaotic to say the least.'
'Oh no, I'm sorry!' Harry grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze, letting me know he cared.
We sat in that cafe for three hours drinking coffee and enjoying each other's company, before Harry suggested we head back to his.
We ordered a takeaway, taking it to his bedroom to eat. Freezy and Lux joined us, all four piled on the bed stuffing our faces with pizza.

'So. Anyone care to tell us what is going on?' Lux pipes up as we close the pizza boxes and dump them on the floor.
'Uh.. tell you why is going on with what?' Harry asks, knowing full well what he was talking about.
'Jess gets drunk, passes out, then spends over 24 hours in your bed with you? Did you think we wouldn't notice?'
'Plus we looked at Harry's phone' Freezy adds to the mix, laughing as Harry punches him in the leg.
'Uhhh.. nothing?' I try to sound like I mean it, failing miserably.
'Give over! We ain't stupid Jess, so when are you gonna become official?' Freezy laughs as he dodges another punch from Harry.
' Please will you just shut up?' Harry almost shouts. Nothing more is said on the subject and things return to normal.
He has a point though - maybe we should make it official?

I force my eyes open, the noise of vibrating waking me from my sleep. I grab my phone and squint my eyes against the light. It's Harry.
'What do you want? It's the middle of the night' I groan, closing eyes and sinking back under my duvet.
'Get dressed, I'm waiting outside.'
'What did you not understand about the 'it's the middle of the night?' Why on earth would you want to go out now?'
'Just get dressed and meet me outside or we are going to be late!'
'I hate you.' With that I hang up the phone, throw some joggers and a hoody on, pull my trainers onto my feet and grab my handbag on the way out of the door. How could we possibly be late for anything? It's 4am!
