Three
I smiled as soon as I saw her confused and angry face. "Amanda, babe!" I backed away from Ramona and walked to my girlfriend, who I assumed hated my guts after what she saw. I acted like everything was okay, I needed her as the photographer for Gemma.
"What just happened?" Amanda asked.
"Nothing-" Ramona said to her, but she cut her off.
"Really? Because I'm not stupid." I sighed.
I looked back at Ramona and she was embarrassed. I was the reason and I felt sorry. I was about to say something, but she cut me off by excusing herself and walking out.
"Ramona," I said walking after her, but Amanda stopped me before walking out.
"Harry, you're running after her?! I'm the one who you're supposed to run after, not her!"
"Look Amanda," I closed the door shut and I hope Ramona didn't leave the house. I took her face in my hands and sighed again. "Nothing happened between her and I."
"Yeah, because I stopped you both before anything could happen."
"And, nothing is..." I trailed off. Should I tell her everything? Or should I just shut up and say a lie?
"What? Nothing is what, Harry?" She rolled her eyes and backed away.
"Amanda, we are not that serious."
"Who, us? Are you kidding me?!" Shit, I just got her angry. That was not a good sign.
"Yes. I mean you are taking things fast and I-"
"Yeah right, I was the one who threw myself at you. I was the one who got you in my bed."
"That's not what I meant. Why are you taking everything between us seriously? I mean we just started dating a month or few weeks ago." She chuckled and it wasn't a happy chuckle at all.
"So, I was one of your victims. Sleep with me, have fun then leave?"
"No," I shook my head and sighed for the third time, I guess.
"You know what? It's over. I call it off before you do." She turned around and opened the door. Before she could walk out, she turned around to face me one last time. "And, tell your sister I'm sorry. I'm not going to be her photographer."
My eyes got wide, "Wait!" It was too late, she already slammed the door. This time she got her wish, I ran after her.
She stormed out to the living room, grabbed her bag and walked as quick as she could to the door. Everyone's eyes were on us, especially me. They knew I was the reason for all of this.
I caught her wrist as she opened the door. "Just wait! Hear me out."
"What?" She turned around.
"Are you really quitting because of me? I thought photography was important to you and it's your job."
"Uh, it is. But when you have to face an asshole for a very long time, then no thank you."
"Oh, so now I'm an asshole." She nodded with a smirk. "Look who's saying that, the one who was screaming my name last night." This time, I smirked.
She put her middle finger up in the air, towards my face and slammed the door shut after she left the house.
I was officially dead, Gemma was going to kill me. I groaned as I walked back to them, in the living toom. They all sat down on the couch and I was surprised to find Ramona and Alex still there. I thought she was going to leave after what happened.
"See, I told you!" Gemma said to Ramona.
"Gemma... Love, Calm down," My mum rubbed her back to calm her down.
I was glad that she was here to be honest. If she wasn't, Gemma would've sent my head in a package to mum."Harry, can I talk to you in the kitchen, please?" I nodded and walked there.
I waited a minute until I saw the door open and she came in with a sigh. "I know it's my fault, mum. But-"
"What happened in there?" I felt the tension around. "Um, I told her nothing between us was serious and we should take things slow." Of course, I couldn't tell her. I just told her the other part.
"And, why would you say that?" She groaned.
"I'm sorry. I know Gem hates me-"
"Gemma doesn't hate you. She's just... Mad."
"Very mad."
"Because of you." She sat on the chair. "You have to do something, though. Show her how much you love her and care."
"Um, what should I do then?"
"I don't know. Um," She looked at the floor, thinking. "Yeah, that's a great idea," She said to herself then nodded her head.
"What idea?"
"Find a photographer. Spend the days that's left before the wedding with her, and don't leave her side."
"What?" I groaned again. "Mum, you want me to spend time with her when she's like that? Panicking and crazy?!" She shrugged her shoulders as I shook my head. "I can look for a photographer, but the other part, a big fat no."
She stood up and gave me a smile. "Well, this is your punishment. You'll have to deal with her like us. Plus, it's normal for someone is about to get married and start a new life."
"But-"
"No buts. Good luck," She said kissing my forehead, then left me alone in the kitchen.
Before I could even sit down on, I saw the door got opened again. Ramona walked in with a nervous expression on her face. "Hey-"
"Look, I don't know what was about to happen in the there, but..." She was breathing fast. "Fuck," She mumbled to herself as she sat down.
"I know and I'm sorry." I kept apologising a lot, to everyone. I kept messing everything. After a short period of silence, she stood up again and let out a deep breath.
"Harry, I love Alex and I... I was about to ruin everything. I mean, why did you-"
"I love you, okay!" I let it out. Finally, I felt a heavy weight was lifted off of me. I was able to breath again and feel alive.
"What?"
"I love you... More than a best friend." She shook her head.
"And you waited all of these years, to tell me now?"
"Well, how can I when all the time you see me as your friend or brother?"
"Yeah? Well, I'm in a relationship now and-" I chuckled.
"Do you even love him or are you just saying that?" Sometimes I felt like she was just reminding herself that, I never saw the love in her eyes. I felt like he gave her love, but she didn't return it. Even if she did love him, but not so much. I couldn't see it, all I saw was just two people dating.
"Oh, and how do you know that all of a sudden?" She was angry, I knew her, but I had to let everything out. I was sick of keeping everything inside of me. I wanted her to know. "Do you even know what love means?"
"You showed me what it means. I loved you since we were young and I never said anything. The only time I was about to man up and say it, you went out with Alex and you were so happy. I never tried to tell you so I wouldn't ruin everything between us, or even between you and him."
"Then, why now?"
"Because I... I'm sick of being in the shadow. Hiding my feelings. I keep imagining every girl I'm with that it's you. I keep distracting myself, but my mind is always occupied by you. You're like everywhere, I think of you all the damn time. And what hurts the most, that I know you're not mine, I can't have you."
She was taken back by my words, I was even taken back. I never thought I'd let everything out, not now at least. The wrong time and place.
"Selfish."
"What?" I asked with a confusion.
"You are selfish, Harry. You ruined your relationship, almost ruined mine. You let her quit and now, you spoke after god knows how long just because you're sick of that feeling." She shook her head.
"Ramona-"
"But thank you for letting everything out." She walked to the door, but this time I was able to get her before she leaves. I blocked her way and she backed away crossing her arms.
"If you weren't dating, if you were single... What would've happened?" I asked in a quiet tone.
I wanted to know what she was thinking at the moment. What she was feeling beside anger. I wished I could read her, but she wasn't easy. I also hoped they weren't asking about us out there, I didn't want to cause troubles anymore.
"It doesn't matter, Harry. It's too late," She said, then left. Here I was, alone again. And I knew I ruined our friendship.
Good job, asshole.
