Catch Me if You Can
Chapter 19
"That was the worst date ever, Harry. I don't think we'll be going on double dates anymore." Dani sneered, shooting me a quick glance.
I sighed deeply, hating the fact that I was actually agreeing with Dani.
The date was absolutely mediocre.
Jason ended up throwing up in the toilet most of the time, since he was allergic to the avocados that were in his sushi.
Dani wouldn't stop whining about the raw fish.
And Harry kept staring at me, and turning away everytime I caught him.
Jason, who was looking a bit pale, leaned agaisnt his car, taking in slow breaths.
I nudged his elbow, and gently smiled.
"Are you okay? Do you still feel sick?" I asked.
Jason weakly smiled, placing his hand behind his neck.
"I'm fine, for now." he paused. "Sorry if this wasn't your ideal first date."
I laughed lightly, as shook my head, not wanting to make him feel bad.
But, with all honesty, I wish this wasn't how my first date ended up as.
"No, it's okay." I assured.
Jason smiled, as he placed his cold hand upon mine.
"Do you think we could try going out, again? Just us next time?" he asked hopefully.
The look in his eyes were so pleading, yet heartbreaking.
"I-I'll think about it." I croaked, managing to keep a smile.
Jason's eyes lit up, obviously buying my lie.
"Great. Do you want me to bring you home now?" Jason asked.
Suddenly, Harry appeared over my shoulder. "Actually, Colby and I were just about to take a walk at the park."
I frowned. "I am?"
I looked around the parking lot, noticing that Dani was no where in sight.
"Yes, you are." Harry sternly said, with an amused twinkle that lit up his eyes.
I looked over at Jason, who was furrowing his eyebrows with confusion.
"Is that okay?" I whispered, praying that Jason would say no.
Jason hesitated, but nodded. "It's fine. I mean, you guys are just friends, right?"
I felt my heart drop to my gut, as my palms began to sweat.
I nodded quickly, as I held back in my breath. "O-of course."
I caught Harry from the corner of my eyes giving me a hurt expression, but I shrugged it off.
Jason pecked my cheek and gave me a tight embrace, and sped off out of the parking lot of the Japanese restaurant.
The tensions were high between Harry and I.
The last time we were left alone, things didn't turn out too well.
"So, when did I agree to go to the park with you?" I joked, attempting to start a conversation.
Harry's lips curved into a sly smile, as he shrugged. "I just figured you would come."
I chuckled, as we paced into the dark park.
"Where did Dani go?" I asked, kicking a pebble.
"She told me she saw a friend in the parking lot, and told me she wanted to go clubbing." he shrugged.
"Why didn't you go with her?" I asked.
"Because I wanted to go to the park with you." Harry grinned.
I threw my head back in laughter, as Harry joined me.
It was just like old times, before all the drama started.
