Chapter Two
Once he dragged Gil out, Harry came back over to me and helped me off the counter. "Thanks" I smiled at my first mate. Uma was helped off the counter as well and grabbed my arm pulling me to the side. "Why don't you two just make it official already?" Uma crossed her arms.
"What are you talking about?" I questioned doing the same."You and Harry. The both of you act like you're a couple anyway, so why not just say that you're dating?" Uma explained and I had to hide a blush."I see the way you guys look at each other. You're perfect for each other.
It just neither of you will admit it" She stated. "I'm going off to steal stuff" Harry informed us and Uma just waved him off. I looked over my shoulder at him and smiled. "Hey" She snapped her fingers getting my attention again."See, you like him. Just tell him.
I'm pretty sure he likes you too. I mean, how many presents has he gotten for you?" I could see where she's going with this. "Not that many and besides I doubt it's because he likes me. I've gotta go make sure he doesn't steal from Dizzy. I'll be back" I told her before turning and walking off.
I was walking to Curl Up and Dye, Dizzy's grandmother's shop, when I passed my mother's jewelry store. I smiled at the name, Sunken Treasures, as I walked past. I got to Curl Up and Dye, but stopped hearing voices."Just wait until Una hears you're back. Uma and her will never give you your old territory back" Harry stated and I smirked.
"Oh, well, that's okay because I will be taking it" The Backstabber, she's back. Footsteps were heard and then, "I could hurt you" Harry said."Not without Una's permission I bet" I'd heard enough, so I went in. "He doesn't need my permission" I stated and their heads snapped to me.
Harry smirked, Dizzy smiled, and Mal's eyes widened. "It's good to see the traitor's back" I smirked. "Hello, Una" Mal spoke softly. I laughed and walked up behind Harry. I grabbed the money from his pocket and went over to Dizzy. "Here, Dizzy" I held out the money for her.
"Wait, I thought he was stealing this for you?" She asked. "No, he wasn't. Keep it" I told her giving Harry a look over my shoulder."Thanks, Una" Dizzy said hugging me. "You're welcome, squirt" I patted her shoulder and smiled at her. She beamed back and went to put the money away.
I watched her for a second before turning around and looking at Mal."Come on, Harry" He walked over to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I waved to Dizzy and then we walked out. "Come on, Una, why'd you do that?" Harry asked as we walked away from Curl Up and Dye.
"Because I told you not to steal from Dizzy. I know you don't understand, but I feel like she's my little sister and I have to protect her" I explained and Harry just looked at me."I need to do something real quick. You can just go back to Ursula's if you want" I told him spotting my mom's shop up ahead.
I began walking again and so did Harry since he still had his arm wrapped around my shoulders. I walked up to my mom's shop and took a deep breath. "You're going to see your mom?" Harry asked. "Yeah, I haven't seen her since I started crashing with you, so why not?" I replied and he nodded.
"Well, go on" Harry pushed me to the door and I opened it. I walked in and looked around. I smiled when I saw this beautiful necklace that I've wanted ever since my mom got it. I asked her if I could buy it, but she told me no because it's the hottest thing in the store.
What you've gotta realize is when my mom says hottest, she means everyone wants it, but it's too expensive for them to buy. Therefore they buy something else with their eyes still on the necklace."Get lost, we're closed" My mother said from behind the counter.
"Oh, not even for your daughter?" I asked and my mother looked up at me. "Ah, only for you and your friends my little mermaid" My mother smiled. Yes, my mother is the same Ursula's crazy sister that everyone talks about. The thing is, nobody knows she has a soft spot for me and only me.
"Hello, Harry" Mother smirked and I looked over my shoulder at my first mate and best friend. "Hello, Mrs. Morgana" Harry smiled at my mom. "How are you mom?" I asked looking around. "Good as I can be. What about you?" Mother replied.
"Same. Looks like the store's doing well" I commented. "Yeah, have that necklace to thank for it" Mom pointed at the necklace that I wanted so badly. I stopped and just stared at it. "Harry and I have to go. I'll see you later mom" I smiled at her. "See you later my little mermaid" She smiled back.
Harry and I walked out and started making our way back to Ursula's Fish and Chips. "Hey, Una" Harry said as we walked. "Yeah?" I asked as we walked down an ally. "What you said earlier about having a feeling of needing to protect Dizzy" He started. "What about it?" I was beyond confused.
"I do know what you're talking about, just not in a brotherly way" Harry stated. "Okay" I shrugged and Harry slammed me against one of the walls in the alley. "Una, I love you. I have for a while now. Please, be my girlfriend" He gave me a shy smile. I kissed him and when we pulled away, I smiled.
"Does that answer your question?" I smirked. "Hell yeah" He replied and kissed me again. The kiss got deeper and I couldn't help to smile. I felt Harry smile too. Let's just say, things got pretty heated after that. I am so glad that this alley is quote un quote abandoned.
