Bellatrix picked out several suits from the display and handed them to Harry,
"Try these on."
Harry looked at the suits and mentally calculated the cost. They were far too expensive. He was about to object when Bella pouted,
"What did I tell you about arguing?"
Harry took the suits and silently disappeared into a trying room. As soon as he had gone. Bella fished out her phone and dialled a number,
"What did you do? You messed everything up. He suspects something."
She fumed over the phone and ended the call. Harry stepped out of the trying room, dressed in a royal blue, form fitting suit jacket. A grey shirt and matching Royal Blue dress pants. Bella looked at him and licked her lips,
"You're a sight for sore eyes, sugar."
Harry looked down at his shoes, as he felt the heat rise up to his cheeks. Bella's phone rang and Harry looked up. He saw the colour drain from her face, as she checked the caller ID. She excused herself and rushed out of the shop. Harry heard the sirens blaring in his head. He remembered his own cell phone and wondered where it was. Probably at the infirmary. He had to get it back as soon as possible. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to eavesdrop on Bella but it wasn't the right thing to do and she would find out that he suspected something if she caught him in the act. He walked back into the trying room and decided to try on the next suit. It was the natural thing to do.
Bellatrix stepped out of the shop and took the call. She paled even further,
"But, my lord…...I did my job perfectly. I am still doing it."
She instantly grew quiet and then spoke solemnly,
"It shall be done, my lord."
She ended the call and re-entered the shop. She had a task to perform now. Just as she returned, Harry stepped out of the trying room, wearing a black suit with a deep purple silk shirt. She looked at him and drew close to him. Harry felt himself blush. She kissed his cheek and spoke,
"We'll get all these packed. Let's get something to eat now."
Harry nodded silently and was about to go back in the trying room to change when she handed him a black button up shirt, black jeans and a grey linen jacket,
"Here, sugar. Wear these for now."
Harry took the clothes and vanished into the trying room. Bellatrix called a salesman and told him to pack an exact same black button up shirt, black jeans and a grey linen jacket. It was better to be prepared. She picked out a few more jackets for Harry and had them packed. Harry stepped out of the trying room, dressed in the clothes Bella had given him. He was tired of changing. But he had to keep her pleased. She smiled when she saw him but Harry didn't miss the tension in her shoulders. Who had called her? She ordered the salesman to get the suits packed and moved to the counter,
"Go wait by the car, Sugar. I'll be right out."
Harry walked out of the shop and waited by the car. He knew that he was being bossed around by her but he had to endure it, if he ever wished to know what had happened last night.
Bellatrix stood at the counter and was about to take her credit card out when the cashier said that the payment had been cleared. She asked,
"By who?"
He shook his head,
"That information is requested to be kept confidential."
Bellatrix exited the shop. She knew who had cleared the payment. She just didn't understand why Harry was so important. As far as she had observed, he was expendable. She shook her head and walked out of the store. The bags were placed in the backseat of the car by a salesman. She got in the car and Harry followed. She started the car and they were on their way,
"I wanted to thank you for everything."
Bellatrix stared ahead at the road and dismissed his thanks with a wave of her hand,
"It's no big deal, sugar."
Harry was about to say something when Bella's phone rang again. She took the call and spoke,
"Okay."
After ending the call, she focused on the road again and said,
"I'll have to drop you off at your home. Where do you live?"
Harry wondered if she had suspected his behaviour. But he felt relieved that he was finally going home,
"That's great."
Harry realized his mistake. He had said it too fast and he knew that he had sounded like he was happy to get rid of her,
"I mean I really enjoyed last night. This was really special."
Bellatrix was tense and it seemed she hadn't heard him. Harry told her his address instead and she drove like crazy. Harry looked outside and he grew certain that Bellatrix knew that he was doubting her sincerity. He wanted to apologize but what for? It was his right to doubt her. She hadn't given him any reason to trust her. The car came to halt. Harry looked outside and saw his apartment building. He stepped out of the car,
"Thanks again. I'm sorry if I said or did anything unkind."
She looked at him and Harry saw a strained smile on her face,
"Take your bags. See you at work, Sugar."
Harry had picked up all the bags when Bellatrix signalled towards one bag,
"That one is mine."
Harry placed it back and stepped back. He felt a prickly sensation in his spine. Bellatrix drove away. Harry walked to his apartment. He felt uncomfortable. Something wasn't right. Bella had seemed tense after the phone call. He wanted to know who had been on the other end of the call and what they had said. Harry moved up his apartment stairs, lost in deep thought. Maybe he was just over interpreting things. Maybe last night had been nothing more than just a one night stand. No, he couldn't doubt his senses. His senses had kept him alive this long, when they said that something was wrong, that meant that something was definitely wrong. Harry reached his apartment and his heart froze in his chest with fear.
The door was unlocked and ajar.
