Catch Me if You Can
Chapter 18
A little under an hour later, Jason had showered, as I waited in his backyard, trying not to get splashed by the guys that were goofing around in the pool.
Jason finally came through the screen doors, with his hair fully blown dry.
He grinned cheekily at me, as he held out a hand for me.
I smiled back, as I took his hand.
"Where are you two going?" Gerald asked, rising up from the pool.
Harry's eyes shot towards where Jason's and mine's hands tied together.
He looked at Jason with envy, as his eyes flashed back to mine with saddness.
I stared away, shuffling my feet as I focused on the ground.
"I'm taking Colby out for dinner." Jason smiled, pulling me closer to him.
Addison frowned, as Harry abruptly stood up from his sunchair.
Dani sprang up with him, due to the fact that she was hanging on his arm.
"Really? Why don't Dani and I come with?" he gritted through his teeth.
A part of me wished that he would come, but a part of me also wished he wouldn't.
Without hesitation, Jason nodded. "Why not? That sounds like a double date to me."
I cursed under my breath, as Jason gave me a curious look.
Harry jogged up to us, with Dani lunging behind.
"Great, where are we eating?" Harry asked, as we climbed into Jason's car.
I crossed my arms stubbornly, as I stared out the window.
"I was thinking between Japanese or Italian." Jason responded.
Dani suddenly let out an annoying moan from the back.
"Ew. I hate raw fish, and pasta is so fattening!" she cried.
I rolled my eyes, shooting her a glare.
How could Harry deal with someone who was so whiny and irritating?
If I was with Harry, I would never be like that.
I clenched my fists in anger, wondering why I would even think of such a stupid thing.
"Maybe you shouldn't have come with us, then." I muttered under my breath.
I guess I didn't say that quietly enough, because I watched from the rearview mirror, as Dani sprang up from her seat.
"What did you just say?" Dani asked, flipping her bleached hair behind her shoulder.
"I said, maybe you shouldn't have come with us if you're going to be so picky." I groaned, calling out louder this time.
I could feel Jason glancing towards me, while stuggling to keep his eyes on the road.
Dani let out a screech, as she laid her head on Harry's shoulder.
Harry shifted uncomfortably, as Dani glared at me with her icy blue eyes.
"Harry! Are you going to let her talk to me like that?" Dani asked.
"Shush, babe. We're going to Japanese, okay, Jason?" Harry asked.
Jason nodded, as he made a turn.
The care was completely silent, except for the faint sound of music coming from the radio.
After a good five minutes, I watched as Dani peck Harry's lips.
I caught Harry making a disgusted face, as Dani's lips met his.
Dani pulled away, and smiled at me with evilness.
"Well, at least we aren't going to Italian. It's so fattening, I don't want to look like Colby in the future." Dani purred.
I was sure that she didn't mean for me to hear it, but I did.
I could tell Jason didn't hear her, because his eyes were so concentrated on the road.
Harry, on the other hand, stared at me with sympathy, as I threw my head back on the cushion.
"Don't say that, babe. She's gorgeous." I heard Harry mumbled after a minute.
