Hello lovelies! I hope you guys are enjoying the new updated versions of these pieces. (:
It’s been a week and a half since you’ve last seen Harry at the coffee shop. In all honesty, you’ve been a mess. Who knew a man could break your heart all over again? Recently, I’ve been going to a cafe near the park a block away from your apartment. You’d walk there every Saturday and Sunday. You’ve always enjoyed walking, it always helped clear my head. You would take the route through the park to enjoy all the different scenery. You loved watching the children play on the playground and watch as the same elderly couple walk hand in hand pass by. You always thought that one day that would be you and Harry. You smiled at the elderly couple as you made your way past them. You quickly crossed the busy street and entered the cafe on the corner. The place was a bit larger than the other one and a lot busier than you were used to but it was always warm and relaxing.
With all the new change, you quickly became friends with one of the managers, Maria. She always had open ears about everything since the first night you showed up. She even kept the cafe open later for you. Perks of owning the place. She always listened to everything you had to say about Harry and was always a shoulder to cry on when you needed one even if was only a week and a half.
“Can you believe he did that?” You sobbed, “how can he just sit there and just introduce his new girlfriend right in front of me?”
“I don’t know babe,” Maria sighed, “Maybe he thought you moved on too.”
“Clearly not!” You shouted, “Oh hey (y/n) this is my girlfriend Jessica.” You said trying to imitate Harry’s deep voice.
“Why do you oddly sound like him when you do that?” Maria asked.
“That’s not the point,” You chuckled before bursting into tears again and cried into her arms, “I still love him Maria and this sucks to see his move on so fast.”
“I know babe,” she said rubbing your back soothingly, “one day at a time yeah? It’s okay to not feel 100% right away.”
“(y/n)!” Maria practically screamed throughout the cafe running towards you.
“Geez Maria, scare the living soul out of your customers, would you?” you giggled.
“It’s what I do best,” She smiled as you guys made our way to the front, “So what’s the new gossip today?”
“Well, a kid got gum stuck in their hair today on the playground.” You sighed and nodded.
“Gosh (y/n), quit being a teacher for once and actually talk like a human.” Maria teased.
“Haha very funny,” you said as you pushed her slightly.
As you reached the front of the house, you ordered your usual, a white chocolate mocha. You paid for your order and stepped aside to allow others to order and wait. Maria rushed to the back of the counter to make you order.
“So, no news at all? Like not even a little bit?” Maria asked.
You just shook your head and just shrugged.
“You really need to go out you know that? You can’t keep being hung up on him (y/n).” Maria sighed handing you your cup.
“I know. It’s just hard and it’s taking me time but eventually, I’ll be able to go out and be normal again… but for now I’m okay with being hung up on him.” you said grabbing your cup from her and taking a sip.
“You should let me set you up on a blind date,” Maria said enthusiastically and smiling.
“No,” you said sternly, “I’ll be ready when I’m ready. Just not now.”
“Please (y/n), I know a really great guy!” Maria begged.
“Goodbye Maria, have fun managing whatever it is you manage.” you smiled as you walked away chuckling a little.
You made your way to a table in the corner by the window and began reading your book. The beeping from the door alarm rang all throughout the cafe and I heard footsteps make its way to the counter to order.
“Can I just get a black coffee please.” The husky voice spoke.
The voice sent shivers down your spine, knowing already who that voice belongs to. You peeked over your book and saw the same tall frame you did over a week ago. It must’ve been deva ju. because you watched as his eyes roamed around the cafe and you thought he would have seen you but instead he went to grab his coffee and sat on the other side of the room. You hid your face in your book in hopes that eventually he would leave. You watched from the side of your eyes as Maria made her way towards you and took a seat in front of you.
“Why is he here? What right does he think it’s okay to be here? Do you want me to kick him out?” Maria rambled quickly.
“Maria, I’m okay. He hasn’t noticed me yet so eventually, he’ll leave right?” you asked more to yourself than you were to Maria.
“Okay if you say so but if he gives you any trouble you give me a shout and I’ll be here faster than you can say blueberry pie.” She assured.
“Blueberry pie?” you questioned.
“Yeah, it’s just something I’m craving right now.” She shrugged as she got up and walked back to help with what was necessary.
“Could be,” Maria smiled, “Ashley and I will find out later today!” she clapped excitedly.
“This is so exciting.” You squealed quietly trying not to draw attention to yourself especially from Harry.
Maria did a little dance before walking away to manage her café. As you sat in your spot alone, you took a few glances at him. He was typing on his phone and he looked rather concentrated on what he was typing. As the sun started to dim, you watched as he got up and left the cafe. You could feel yourself relax and breathe. You waited a while longer to be sure that Harry had left for sure before gathering your stuff up. You said goodbye to Maria and made your way out of the cafe. You inserted your headphone into your ears and started to walk across the street and into the park. By now it was dark, and you saw a figure sitting on a bench and you quickened your pace. As you walked quicker, you could feel the presence of someone following you. You came to an abrupt stop and turned around to be met with the same bright green eyes and brown curls you saw not too long ago.
“My goodness Harry, you scared the shit out of me!” You yelled hitting his arm lightly.
“Sorry love,” he chuckled, “can I walk you home?”
“Wouldn’t Jessica be mad?” you questioned as you turned on your heels and started walking in the direction of your apartment.
“About that,” he spoke rubbing the back of his neck, “we actually broke up.”
Harry picked up his pace to walk beside you as the memory of how their breakup went down.
Harry and Jessica sat on the couch watching the same movie for the 5th time that week. Harry couldn’t help but think about the way you looked as you sat with him and Jessica. It’s not like he wanted to introduce his new girlfriend to his ex-love but it’d be rude if he didn’t say anything to you.
“Harry?” Jessica said annoyed.
“Hmm?” Harry hummed in response looking at her.
“I’ve been calling your name for a while now,” she said annoyed by the fact that it took him this long to answer her, “It’s like your mind has been elsewhere since we last seen your ex.” Her facial features began to soften.
“No it hasn’t,” Harry faintly smiled at her, “just tired.” He pulled her into his arms.
“Do you still love her?” Jessica asked.
“No, Jessica that’s ridiculous.” Harry squeezed Jessica lightly in his arms knowing deep down that the answer was yes, he was indeed still in love with you.
“No Harry don’t lie,” Jessica sat up looking at him with her sad blue eyes, “Don’t lie especially to me.”
Harry sighed knowing that there was no way around this. She was such a good person, and he couldn’t bear to break her heart. Harry and Jessica sat on the couch and had a civil conversation, no dramatic exit or screaming, just the two of them communicating. They hugged one another know that it wasn’t going to work out. Jessica remembered the day she met you at the café, her focus was on Harry and his focus was fixated on you. Jessica knew that this was going to hurt her but she couldn’t be in a relationship knowing that the person she loved didn’t love her as much as he loved you.
“Why is that?” You asked surprised and curious as you stopped by a baseball diamond to fix the laces on your shoes.
“Just wasn’t the one you know?” He spoke biting down at his lips.
“Hmm,” you nodded my head, “I hated her anyway.”
“What? Why’s that?” Harry asked surprisingly.
“Because I just didn’t,” you said blushing, “she was too nice.”
“Because she was too nice?” Harry laughed shaking his head towards the ground.
“It’s not funny okay?” You laughed, “she was really sweet and pretty.”
“Now what is the real reason for hating her love?” He asked raising an eyebrow.
“Because,” you spoke feeling your throats tighten before sighing, “I never got over us breaking up. I am still in love with you, Harry.”
You looked across the baseball diamond not wanting to make eye contact with him. Things were so silent you began to worry and panic that you said something wrong.
“I’m gonna go home now H,” You said as you began to walk away slowly, “hope to see you around.”
Before you could walk any farther, Harry grabbed your hand.
“You honestly don’t think I’m going to let you go that easy now do you?” He asked smiling leading you into a direction away from your apartment.
“Harry where are we going?” you asked.
“On a date at the coffee shop.” He said smiling like a little kid on Christmas.
“Harry the coffee shop is the other way, I can call Maria I’m sure she won’t mind,” you said.
“What do you mean?” Harry scoffed. “It’s this way obviously.” Harry smiled cheekily.
I looked at him confusingly before realizing what he was talking about and smiled. He grabbed your hand in his and interlocked your fingers together and began walking to the place where everything began. As you both walked down to the little coffee shop, you couldn’t help but think that for once in a long while you could finally feel like everything was going to be okay with him by your side.
“Maybe hate is a strong word.” You chuckled.
“You think so?” Harry said sarcastically smiling wide making you giggle at the goofball beside you.
Harry smiled as he heard your giggles fill his heart. He pulled you closer to him and kissed the top of your head as you both made your way to the small café.
