Chapter Three
Once we put ourselves back together, we walked out of the alley hand n' hand. We were close to Mal and her gang's old hang out when we spotted King Ben. "Mumsie" I whisper shouted to one of the crew members. She looked up and saw me. I waved her over and she walked over.
"See that guy" I pointed to the king and she nodded. "Grab him and take him back to Ursula's Fish and Chips. Uma'll tell you further instructions" I told her. Ben came wondering closer and Mumsie grabbed him. I looked up at Harry who smirked at me. We both walked closer to Evie, Jay, and Carlos.
"Ben, don't scare us like that" Evie said as we got closer. "Don't scare you, but that's my specialty" Harry told them stepping into the light. "Harry" Evie shook her head. "What did you do with Ben?" Jay asked with worry evident in his voice. "Oh, we nicked him. He should be back with Uma right now" I smiled stepping into the light next to Harry.
Our intertwined hands even more visible now that we're both in the light. "Una?" Carlos asked upon seeing him. "Hi" I waved with my free hand. "And, if you want to see the king again, have Mal come to the chip shop alone" Harry told them. "Uma will want a visit" I informed them.
"Aw, Jay, it seems like you've lost your touch" Harry said looking over at Jay with a fake pout on his lips. Jay went to attack Harry, but Evie put a hand on his shoulder, stopping him. Harry then barked at Carlos before we walked away.
"There you two are, nice job kidnapping the king" Uma complimented as we walked in and to the counter. I sat on the counter and wrapped my arms around Harry. Who was leaning on his elbow on the counter. "Hey, there's something different about you two" Gil pointed at Harry and me.
We glanced at each other, did he know what we did? "I don't know what it is, but you guys seem happier" Gil stated. Upon hearing that, Uma turned around and smirked at us."Did you two finally get the guts to tell each other that you loved the other?" She questioned.
"Yeah" Harry and I replied in sync smiling at each other. Harry, Gil, and I were chilling in the restaurant while Uma worked. I was sitting in Harry's lap while talking to him and Gil. "Just imagine if you two had kids, they would be adorable" Gil said nonchalantly.
I almost choked on the fry I had put in my mouth moments before Gil spoke. "You okay, Luv?" Harry asked and I nodded swallowing the fry. "Call me love more often, I love the way it sounds when you say it" I told him. "Anything for you, Luv" Harry smirked and pecked my lips.
Then, we heard heels click and Uma stopped in her tracks. "I'm back" Mal said in a sing- song voice. I stood up from the counter, but stayed leaning against it. It'd be easier to get to Mal, if something happened, since I was standing. "Loser party of one, right this way please"
Uma gestured to a table kicking a chair at Mal. Mal stopped the chair from hitting her and turned it around before sitting down. Mal glanced over at me before speaking to Uma"Place still stinks" She stated. "Sorry, we're down a butler today, princess" Uma told her.
"Where is he?" Mal questioned ignoring Uma's comment. "You know I've dreamed of this, you wanting something from me and me watching you squirm like a worm on a hook" Uma informed her. "I'm so flattered you dream of me. I haven't given you a thought since I left" At Mal's last statement I growled.
"Obviously, you have your perfect little life, don't you. Doesn't she have the perfect little life?" Uma asked the crew and they all just looked at her. I snapped my fingers and they immediately started agreeing. "And we're twenty years into a garbage strike" Uma turned back to Mal.
"Listen, you have some score to settle with me, bring it on. I see no need to bring Ben into this" Mal looked dead at me. "It might be unnecessary, but it is super fun" I smiled at her. "Here's the deal" Uma started. "Just like your mother, always a catch" Mal said.
"If you win, Ben's free to leave" Uma informed her. After she finished speaking, Mal put her arm on the table. "Don't you want to know what I get if I win?" Uma asked her innocently. "Still dreaming" Mal stated. "Last time I checked, your mother thought she had things all sewn up, uh. How'd that work out for her?" Uma questioned.
"On three" Mal ignored her.
"One"
"Two"
"Three" They both said and the arm wrestle began. "You know, that whole princess thing, I didn't buy it for a second. You can stick a tiara on a villain, but she's still a villain" Uma told her. "Yeah, well, you can slap a pirate hat on, but you're still shrimpy" Mal fake gasped.
