Untitled love song

Chapter 19

"No....no way...this isn't happening...I must've hit my head without realising when Jack dropped me...or something because this..."

Henry's lips crashed onto mine.

"You were saying?" He grinned like a loon whilst I stood there, still in shock from the fact that he was actually here but also completely and utterly gobsmacked due to the fact he just kissed me. Henry, kissed me.

Play your cards right Scarlett, don't fall too fast.

Ella's voice rang in my ears. She was right then and she's right now.

You got this..

"I'm still not too sure I believe that you're actually here..." I could feel my cheeks reddening as I said it.

"Oh really..." Henry leaned in towards me to the point of where I could feel his breathe dancing on my skin.

He continued to inch in further, until his lips were millimetres away from mine.

"Because..." He spoke in almost a whisper making the butterflies in my stomach turn into elephants thumping, or was that my heart? I'd zoned out of everything else it was so hard to tell.

"Because what?" I said trying to contain the urge to kiss him.

"Because the colour of your cheeks suggest otherwise. Watch this, you
look really cute in your outfit."

Unintentionally my cheeks started burning as slight embarrassment washed over me.

Damn it. So much for my willpower.

"But you know..." Henry broke the silence. "If that's still isn't enough proof I could always..."

"SCARLETT THERE YOU ARE"

You have to be kidding me.

I turned trying to hide myself behind Henry, but it was too late. Jessie had spotted me.

"Now Scarlett, remember what your mother taught you, no hiding behind random strangers! It's not fair on them to have to be associated with you!" Jess winked as she made her way towards me.

Henry turned around so he was facing Jess.

"Hi," He spoke causing Jess to stop dead in her tracks.

"Wait for it..." I timed how long it would take for Jessie to clock on.
Jess gasped.

"There you go," I checked Henry's watch, "12 seconds, new record!"

Jess still stood there unable to move.

"Should I get help or?.." Henry's accent filled Jess' ears causing her to finally speak.

"OH MY FLIPPING GODS THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING NO WAY NO FLIPPING WAY!"

"Do I need to kiss her too?" Henry winked.

"You dare..." I stared him down until he put his hands up in apology and kissed my forehead, causing Jessie to freak out further.

"DID YOU JUST SEE THAT?! DID YOU?! OH MY LORDY CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR"

"Jessie! Calm down! Don't go all religious on me!"

"Sorry but I can't help it! HE'S HERE! WITH YOU! AND YOU'RE TOGETHER! AND SHIT JACK!"

"Does she know the last one didn't make sense?..." Henry raised his eyebrows in confusion at me.

"Wait for it..." I again, timed how long it would take for Henry to get it.

"SHIT JACK!"

"There's my boy, 6 seconds, not bad cutie."

I looked up to see Jess pacing and Henry getting up and joining her.
"Guys...guys! GUYS! I have a plan so stop bloody pacing! It's giving me a serious headache."

Henry came over and put his arm round my shoulder and Jess, clearly feeling awkward, came and massaged my head.

"Umm Jess?" I looked up to see Jessie had her eyes closed as if she as was intensely meditating.

"Mmm?"

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?

Massaging your head you twat."

"I can see that Jessie, but why?"

"Well 2 reasons, mainly because -"

"Actually! I don't care enough!"

I sat the pair of them down in front of me.

"What I really care about is getting Henry around with me without Jack noticing.."

Henry put up his hand like a school child in a lesson.

"Yes boy?"

"Jack already knows. Well he should do, guessing you guys ran into Ellie on your way into the arena?"

Jess and me nodded.

"Thought so, she's been looking for Jack since we got here."

I felt myself tense, a part of me knew why but that really was a habit I needed to shake off.

"But Ellie's kinda the reason I'm here..."

"What?!"

Henry was with the enemy.
A
Not the enemy Scarlett...

"Why?" Was the only thing I could say as I sat down.

"This is what I didn't want to tell you...I didn't want to spoil it." He ran his fingers through his messy hair.

"Tell me." I was terrified, had he and Milly got back together? Oh god I was seriously overthinking.

"Milly's here."

I sighed a huge sigh of relief.
"Wait for it..." Jessie spoke

"SHIT!"

"That's my girl," Jess stood there with her arms crossed.

"I need to sit down."

Henry led me over to the bench near us and I put my head on his shoulder.

"Right..." he finally spoke, "Now are you ready to hear the whole story so we can figure out a plan? Because there is no way I'm not spending this weekend with you."

I blushed and looked up at Henry who was smiling just enough for two dimples to form either side of his smile.

"What are you staring at Girl?"

"Your dimples, you?" Henry blushed as I picked up on the fact that he was staring at me.

"Your eyes."

"Bit cliché Mr Brown." I winked.

"Hey," he put his hands up, "it's not my fault, they're really cool, it's like staring I into two mini worlds,"

"Well, that's a new one..."

"And the best one."

"Debatable." I winked at Henry.

"Well if that's not enough, I could always..."

This time, there was nothing stopping us, nothing that seemed relevant in that moment.

His lips landed on mine lightly at first, before he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him, kissing me harder. He broke free briefly only to then begin planting light kisses on my lips.

"Umm guys? Guys hello? GUYS!"
Henry and I turned to look at a slightly irritated Jess and couldn't help but laugh.

"Laugh all you want Scarlett Wilson, but this is the second time in the past week I've been there when you get all up close and personal with a guy! And I'm one kissing encounter away from needing therapy!"

"Whoa whoa whoa, what do you mean 2nd time Scar's kissed someone this week?"

Uh-oh...
