Ready To Run

Movie Night

I woke up feeling exhausted. My phone told me it was 7 AM. I had stayed out with Harry last night until 12:30 before we packed everything up and he drove me home. We had talked about anything and everything while led together under the moons argent glow.

I wondered if it was possible to feel this strongly for someone after only having been on two dates together. I led back down in bed and decided it was time to have a serious conversation with myself.

I was supposed to leave for London in 3 days. What would happen with Harry and I? I didn't want to have to end this wonderful thing we had going but I had no idea where he was going after Holmes Chapel. There was only one person I could talk to about this.

"Mia I need advice" I said the second she picked up the phone.
"What's up babe?" She asked sounding concerned. "Oh no! Did the date not go well?" She asked sounding devastated herself.
"No Mi the date went perfect. He kissed me and we held hands while watching the sky and talking" I told her exited, reliving the memories from last night.

"Hang on... you two KISSED!? Oh my god you're so meant for each other! You're my new favourite ship" she tells me sounding ecstatic.
"It was amazing. He really is the best kisser so far. Like not even Toby came close" I tell her making us both giggle like schoolgirls.

Toby was my ex boyfriend who I'd dated for just over a year before I left him. He was super controlling and would never listen to what I wanted. Sometimes it was just trivial things like what movie we would watch or where to eat but other times he would force me into awkward situations. He asked me to meet his parents after a week of dating and when I told him I thought it was too early for that, he drove me to him house telling me they weren't in and made me have dinner with them. Guess I should have listened to that red flag.

"Well if we're comparing him to Toby the bar is set pretty low." Mia said making us both giggle again.
"Alright let's not get started on this before we both need a drink" I say after the laughter had died down.

"Yeah okay. So what is it you need then if the date went that well?" she asks me.
"Well he knows I'm moving to London soon but we haven't talked about what's actually gonna happen about it. Will we just stop seeing each other?" I ask feeling horrible at the thought.
"Hmmmm. That's a good point. Maybe you just need to ask him what he's planning on doing after he leaves here" she suggests.
"Okay. I just don't want to seem clingy I mean we've only had two dates" I whine flopping back down in bed.
"Just ask casually. Don't make a big deal about it you know?" She tells me sounding concerned at my tortured cat noises.

"Okay. Thanks Mia. I don't know what I'm gonna do without you" I say sincerely.
"Don't! You're gonna make me cry. We've said we're gonna call each other very single day and I'll come and visit you as often as possible" she replies sounding upset.
"We will! It will take more than 176 miles to break up this dynamic duo" I joke to cheer her up. It thankfully works and she laughs again.

"Hey Pheobe" Harry says happily as he answers the phone. "What's up"
"Hiya Haz. Literally nothing. I'm bored so I called you" I tell him already smiling like a fool.
"I'll do my best to entertain you then" he answers. "Hey I had lots of fun last night" he adds
"Me too. Thanks again for organising it all." I say feeling butterflies erupt in my stomach. I'm glad we're not on FaceTime or he would have seen me grinning stupidly.
"It's no problem. I love spending time with you" he answers making my heart jump happily.
"Stop I'll blush" I joke to cover up the fact my face was already putting a tomato to shame.
"Wish I was there to see that" he says suddenly.
I'm quiet for a second before I answer.
"You could always come over" I tell him shyly, worried about getting turned down horribly.
"... wait really?" He asks almost sounding hopeful.
"Yeah?" I say, unsure now.
"I'll be over in half an hour" he says before telling me goodbye and hanging up. I sat there for a minute thinking about what I did. Harry was coming to my house. And properly this time not just stepping in to be polite.
