Just Fall

Chapter 9

Chapter 9!

"Lacey, put that down." I grabbed the salt shaker away from the entertained little girl.

"Haha. She's cute." I looked up at the curly haired boy sitting across the table.

"Thanks." I smiled back at Harry.

"She looks like you." I smiled to cover the fact she looks like him too.

"Yeah." I looked back at Lacey who is now drawing on the color sheet the waiter brought her.

"So how have you been?" Harry had his elbow supporting his head on the table.

"Good." I took a deep breath.

"Are you sure?"

"Ya..I'm sure." He didn't seem convinced.

"Well you're doing a great job with Lacey. She seems happy." He turned his attention to Lacey.

"Yeah. I love her." I smiled at Lacey as she kept drawing. I looked back up at Harry who was now smiling at me.

-HARRY POV-

She looked beautiful. She hasn't changed at all. She still has her long blonde hair, a little longer now, her bright green eyes, and her sweet smile. She was happy with Lacey yet at the same time stressed. She gave up her life for her little daughter. She has every right to be stressed. Sometimes I wish I was the person in her life that she would lean on...but I blew my chance.

At first the dinner was awkward but then we actually started to talk. I was still surprised that she agreed to the dinner. She hates me, but she loves Lacey.

"What's your favorit thing to do, Lacey?" She smiled but didn't answer.

"She's shy." Spencer chuckled.

"It's okay." I smiled at her. Our eyes locking for a couple seconds.

"Talk more about mommy." Lacey made us break away from our gaze. Lacey didn't quit know why her mom looked at her funny look but she didn't care, her eyes were waiting for me to talk.

"Another time." I winked at Lacey causing her to frown then grin widely.

The date was perfect. Seeing spencer was like falling in love all over again. Unfortunately she didn't feel the same way. By the end of the night I had come to the conclusion that I would do anything to win her back.

-SPENCER POV-

The dinner ended up being enjoyable. There was no food disasters and only a little awkwardness. I'm not saying I hate Harry any less but it was nice. He kept mumbling on about the star life. He's been happy the last couple years. Unlike me, I've been stressed and always worrying about the best thing for Lacey.

"You like this song?" I was surprised when harry turned up the volume to locked out of heaven.

"No, I just thought you would." I laughed as I turned the volume down.

"No. And it's inappropriate for lacey." His face was defeated and bummed.

"Okay hold on." He put in a cd and pushed the button.

" your insecure, don't know what for. Your turning heads when you through the doo-oo-or. Don't need makeup. To cover up. Being the way that you are is enou-ou-ough...."

"Hahah your song?" He blushed.

"Yeah..it's appropriate..and good."

"Conceded much?" I chuckled under my breath.

"No..I just..never mind..." His stumbling amused me.

"Lacey, wanna-" she was asleep in the back seat.

"She asleep?"

"Yeah."

"Well we're almost at the house." He kept driving, eyes on the road. It was silent except for the low sounds of the music.

Eventually he drove into the driveway. The car shook as it drove over the small rocks. It was dark out, all you could see was what the light from the house showed. We got out of the car and walked up the long path. I had Lacey in my arms as she slept silently on my shoulder. Halfway up the path, I was stopped.

"I had fun, tonight." I turned to face harry where he was standing with his hands in his pockets, smiling.

"Me too." I smiled back...to be polite. I started it turn back around when his voice spoke again.

"I'm sorry." He didn't have to say anything else, I knew what he meant. I got a lump in the back of my throat that made me unable to speak. Finally I said something.

"It's fine." I lied.

"No it's not. If it weren't for me you would be alone, you wouldn't had to suffer alone." He shifted is weight on both feet, not just one. "If it weren't for me we might actually be to-" he stopped. But it didn't matter, I knew what he meant.

I didn't know what to say so I just nodded and started back up the path. When I got to the door I turned to Harry as I waited for him to unlocked the door. But he didn't he stopped i front of me.

"Are you going to open the-"

"There's gotta be some way to get you to want me like before." His words left me with a confused look on my face. While I was in my thoughts, I didn't even notice that he started to lean in. Was he about to kiss me!?!? He turned his head to the side of my head. I could feel his lips barely touching my ear, sending shivers down my back.

"And when I find a way...I will win you back.." He slowly moved back but before he lightly kissed my cheek. When he's eyes met mine, he smiled. Before I could process what just happened, harry was in the house.
