Harper King
Mercury Nightclub and Cocktail Bar
~ Bethnal Green, East London ~
Harper rolled her own blue eyes as Jeremy was absolutely oblivious to the fact that the girls she had been referring to were in fact not laughing at him. Men were really so clueless to the point that it was annoying. A small strand of blonde hair that she had carefully placed on the side of her face to frame it had gotten in her eyes and she blew it away almost aggressively. Before she had a chance to say anything, Jeremy reached out to grab her hand, being sorta rough about it but not in a way that hurt. Mercury Nightclub and Cocktail Bar

Her right brow raised in confusion as she watched him turn it over to stroke her palm. He stated that he would never get sick of her to which she let out a small laugh. He then went on to say that neither of the women she had pointed out could hold a candle to her. The insecure side of her spoke up, "Ah surely the brunette could...she looks...annoying." Harper said with a small smirk before her eyes met his. They were so intense that Harper's cheeks burned. Clearing her throat, she turned to look in another direction of the club. She was glad that he humored her when she talked about her quarter-life crisis. It was beginning to dawn on her that she didn't necessarily have a future like the rest of her family did. Spencer was married and had a little one who would arrive any minute, Alex...well, at least he was with someone at one moment in time and he had a kid as well. Billy was head over heels for Erik and she was sure that they would work out in the end. Harper wasn't sure what the future held for her. The philosophy she had in her early 20s was that she would live life the way she wanted to, especially since sometimes one didn't live long. But that wasn't necessarily working out in her favor anymore.
Waitressing was the absolute worst line of work she could possibly do, she hated serving others. It was something that was meant to be a side gig so that she could audition for local theaters to eventually make it big time...but it was hard to make a name for yourself outside of her family's business. She didn't want to earn parts or gigs from people fearing her relatives...for a while, she contemplated changing her last name but the insecurities she had about her ability to perform stopped her from even auditioning for things nowadays.
Harper hadn't noticed Jeremy looking towards her brothers, only paying attention to him again when he spoke up. He stated that he didn't have to be paid to hang out with her and that she was his friend. The smallest of smiles played on her lips before it was wiped away by him saying that being paid was a nice perk when she was being stubborn. "Oh haha." The blonde said as she narrowed her eyes at him. "My brothers aren't so lucky, if they had a dollar for every time I was a stubborn shit...they'd be a lot richer than they are now." Harper had just noticed Spencer with Alex and her mouth turned down in disappointment. "What the hell is he doing here?" She hissed out before wondering if something was wrong. Her eldest brother always had this look on his face when something was wrong...he wasn't much of a closed book. "You think everything's okay?" She asked worriedly, feeling frustrated that she wasn't being kept in the loop on anything. It wasn't anything new but that didn't make things less frustrating.
Before anything more could be said, Harper saw one of the two girls that had been giving heart eyes at Jeremy walking towards the table. "Oh Jesus..." Harper said irritatingly before the woman approached the table. The woman didn't seem to notice Harper at all, only looking at Jeremy as she smiled at him sweetly...a little too sweetly for Harper's liking. "Hey there, I know this is a little forward but I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Monica and I-" Harper cleared her throat as she crossed her arms over her chest. "He's not interested, sweetheart." The blonde said, glaring daggers at the woman. "Before you came over here and rudely inserted yourself, we were just having a conversation about how the padding in your bra is lopsided, best go fix that in the powder room before someone who is actually interested in you notices. Now scram!" The brunette was literally speechless which pleased Harper and without much of a fight, the woman walked away quickly holding her chest.
