[17] Jealous
The apartment is large and crowed with unfamiliar people who are talking about work and different things. Niall and Liam are off in the corner eating food and laughing at something one of Tatum's family member said. I glance over to see Zayn talking to a person about one of the paintings on the wall a smile on his face as they continue to talk. Louis is at the bar getting his hands on whatever alcohol he can get. Tatum's also away greeting with different people every couple of minutes. I haven't see Lindsay or Greyson in a while, I wonder if there getting a quickie done, because they haven't been able to keep their hands off of each other.
"Harry." I immediately turn around to see Jake a smile on his face as he looks me up and down.
"Jake," I whisper surprised.
"It's been a while," he begins, "at least it seems that way."
I laugh at his reply, "it truly has."
He moves closer to me so that we're standing side by side. He hands me a drink and I gladly accept it giving him a nod. I take a sip of the drink letting the refreshing taste of bourbon wet my palette. I gulp the rest of it down as soon as Lindsay and Greyson return from upstairs my heart sinking in my chest. Greyson fixes his tie while Lindsay fixes her tight navy blue dress. Jake notices that I'm staring off into the distance at something and he follow my gaze.
"I'm sorry," Jake whispers his hand clasping into my shoulder.
"I'm over it." I lie straight through my teeth.
Jake glances at me his face telling me he doesn't believe me. He purses his lips together before finally speaking.
"No you're not... a part of you still loves her. Every time you seem them I can see the pain in you're eyes." Jake claims handing his drink off to a bypassing waiter.
"Did we really love each other?" I ask, not to just him but to myself as well. "I mean we did have a great friendship and even a romantic one at one point. Was it real love ?"
Jake looks around the room before his eyes turn back to me. He goes to answer but Greyson and Lindsay come up to us. I look down at my feet so I don't have to make eye contact with either of them. The whole situation have become completely and utterly awkward. I mean she's pregnant and marrying Greyson and either one of us could and is the father. I gain the courage to finally glance back up at everybody.
Jake cleans the awkwardness by clearing his throat and talking first.
"So," Jake begins, "how's the wedding planning going?"
Greyson and Lindsay exchange looks a smile tugging at their lips as each seconds past. I roll my eyes in complete and utter disgust that's all I'm feeling right now. Jake must have seen me because a laugh escapes his lips. This generates them to look at us, Lindsay frowns.
"We finally set the date May 5." Lindsay speaks up as she sneaks a peek in my direction.
Their date is only two weeks away. I know why she's doing this, she's only doing all of this to hurt me for leaving her... for rejecting her like everybody else. I was a dick for leaving her but I apologised, I've apologised over and over again.
"Congratulations," I mutter coldly. "When's the baby due?"
"Seven months." Greyson replies, while Lindsay sends me shooting daggers in my direction with her eyes.
"That's amazing I'm really happy for you guys. You'll make great parents." Every word is dripping sarcasm.
"It truly is." Lindsay voices, her eyes never leaving mine. "Greyson's going to be an amazing father."
Her words take a jab at my heart and I break the eye contact. I don't have to look at Lindsay to know there's a winning smirk on her face. I shove my hands into my jean pockets.
"Greyson! Lindsay! " Tatum's voice comes through and a wave of relief washes over me.
Maybe she can save me from this hell Lindsay has put mein. I look at her a smile appearing after a while of keeping my emotions in check. Tatum looks at me a flirty smile appearing back and I blush.
"Tatum," Greyson answers pulling her into a side hug and placing a sweet and gentle kiss upon her forehead.
Lindsay looks away and rolls her eyes and I notice it. I shake my head in disbelief.
"Hey dick, Lindsay," the familiar voice is calm and cool.
"Louis," Lindsay mutters giving him a death glare.
Greyson let's go of Tatum his eyes darting over to Louis. He narrows his eyes at him and Louis stands tall his arms on his hips.
"Great party," Louis begins, "but we should really get going, nice seeing everybody again." There's no hiding Louis sarcasm.
"Harry you're leaving so soon?" Tatum questions.
I dart my eyes back and forth between Louis and Tatum. Her smirk curling tighter at her lips.
"Yeah," I claim,
"Let's go," She says grabbing my hand.
"Okay," I whisper tilting my head to the side.
"See you around." Louis comments, "Jake you coming?"
"Yeah... what are we doing?" Jake challenges looking at us.
"Soccer," Liam and Niall say in unison.
"I'm in." Jake simply replies.
I hold onto Tatum's hand pulling her towards the elevator everybody following after us. I glance over my shoulder to see Lindsay's eyes burning into the back of my head. And I chuckle to myself she's jealous. I place a quick kiss on Tatum's temple before making our way into the elevator a sly grin on my face as I glare at Lindsay if she can play her game then i'm going to play mine. And I won't stop swigging until I've one.
