Ready To Run

Take Me Home

Turns out the food at the The Secret Garden was just as good as the decor. There was no shame between Harry and I as we both savoured our food. We were in the car ride back now and we had music playing louder as we both sang along loudly. Harry's singing was distinctly better than mine but neither of us seemed to mind.
"I wanna stay up all night and find a girl and tell her she's the one" We were now laughing more than singing the lyrics as we pulled into my driveway. Neither of us moved until the song ended before we looked at each other and started giggling.

"Would you like to come in? I can make you some tea" I offer as I undo my seatbelt
"Won't your mum mind?" Harry's asks looking at the house like my mum had put up a sign in the window forbidding his entrance.
"Nah she's probably having one herself." I answer.
"I'd best be getting back. I don't want management on my ass tomorrow for staying out late and disrupting my family time" he answers looking disappointed himself.
"That's fine. You don't get to see them often I get it" I smile trying to reassure Harry I wasn't offended.
"I'll walk you to your door though" he says and gets out, once again jogging around to my side. I swear I hadn't touched a door handle this entire date.

He even held a hand out to help me stand which I gladly took, stepping up. I expected him to drop my hand once I was up however, he just held it tighter and began walking up to my door. My heart jumped at the realisation he wanted to hold my hand and I squeezed his hand lightly, simply smiling when he looked at me.

"Thank you for a wonderful night Harry" I tell him
"Thank you for giving in and letting me pay for dinner" he joked. We had fought for at least 5 minuets before he said I could pay for the next one and I agreed, happy he thought there would be a next time. "And thank you for your amazing company" he added on with a smile saying he knew he was being cheesy.

My whole body froze then thawed in a split second as he leaned down to gently pressed his lips to my cheek.
"Goodnight Pheobe" he said finally dropping my hand and smiling as he made his way back to his car. I waved to him as i opened the door and stepped inside. I watched him pull out the driveway before I shut the door.
"Wow" was all I could say as I made my way to my room still in a daze.
