Tell Me It's Love

Tell Me It's Love - Part 11

Bailey stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body and her wet hair hung around her shoulders. She shuddered at the difference in temperature from a hot bath to a cold room.

She walked in to her bedroom and closed her door behind her. Her eyes instantly shot to the window. She rushed across her room and shut her curtains, preventing anyone from seeing her just in her towel. 

She breathed out in relief, dreading to think of the embarrassment she would have felt. Walking over to her desk she picked up her iPod and clicked Shuffle. She made her way to her docking station to connect the iPod and turned up the volume slightly and walked away.

She began to sing along to the music that was playing as she opened the double doors of her wardrobe. Her hands skimmed through her tops and eventually pulled out a red longline with a black pattern. She also chose out a pair of black leggings. 

A single beep sounded over her music. Closing the wardrobe doors Bailey turned around, now facing her bed and looking at her phone.

She walked closer to her bed and sat down, picking up her phone as she did. A small message icon appeared at the top of the screen as Bailey typed in her password. There was a lot of things she liked to keep private from her family, her phone was one of them.

Once her phone was unlocked, she clicked onto the message icon. Her heart rushed with excitement as she looked at who it was from: 'Harry'. Her hands became shaky as she clicked again, now opening up the message. 

Hey, you ok? Just wanted to know if we're still on for town tomorrow? :)

Bailey felt herself smiling, it was just a simple text, it wasn't anything special but still, she felt the butterflies in her stomach.

She read the text over and over until she knew every single world. She clicked Reply and typed out a message to send back.

Hey :) I'm good thanks, you? Yeah of course, I'm actually excited to seeing what this place is really like!

She stopped before sending. Her thumb hovered over the 'x' button and she bit her lip in thought. She didn't know why, but putting kisses at the end seemed like a big thing, especially when it's with a boy you hardly know. 

'I guess one won't hurt!'

Her thumb pressed down on the button. She read through what she had typed, making sure it made sense. Pressing Send, she locked her phone and put it back on her bed. 

Standing up, she walked back over to her chosen clothes and began to get dressed. 

As soon as she was dressed, she walked over to her desk and picked up her comb. Another beep came from her phone as she began to comb through her hair. 

Walking back to her bed she picked up her phone. Smiling again at seeing the text was from Harry.

But you're more excited to spend time with me, right? :P I'm kiddin! It isn't much to look at but it's not so bad :) xx

Bailey laughed. She quickly text back, wanting her cheeky side to match his.

Now, are we talking about you or this town? :P

She stopped again before sending. Her eyes moved back to the message Harry had sent. He had put 2 kisses at the end of the text. 

Bailey shook her head and lightly laughed at how she was acting. It didn't mean anything really. She typed out 2 kisses in return and quickly sent the text.

She put her phone back down onto her bed, looking up as she heard a gentle knock at her door. She smiled sweetly at her mum who stood at her doorway.

Her mum walked towards Bailey and sat down on her bed. 

Bailey looked towards her mum and puzzled at the slight smile formed on her lips and the glint in her eyes.

"...What?" 

"Nick tells me you bumped into a boy?"

Bailey laughed again and shook her head, seeing a glint in her mum's tired eyes.

"Yes, it was the boy from next door actually"

"Oh. Well that's how it all starts. A love affair with the boy next door" her mum grinned, knowing she was teasing Bailey.

"Mum! He's a nice boy, but it's nothing like that"

Her mum crossed her arms against her chest and raised her eyebrows, making Bailey laugh again. 

"So then, what's his name?"

Bailey looked at her mum for a while before answering. "Harry"

Her mum nodded as in approval, smiling. "So what exactly did you and Harry from next door talk about then?"

"He was just being friendly. He asked if I wanted to go to town with him tomorrow, so he can show me around. And we swapped numbers"

Her mum nodded again, "I was speaking to his mum while you was out, she's a lovely woman. She said something about a party they're having on Friday for her daughter's birthday and asked if we wanted to go"

"mhmm" Bailey nodded in reply to her mum but was focused on her phone as it beeped again.

Her mum laughed and shook her head. She stood up from her bed and walked over to the door. She grabbed hold of the door handle and looked back at Bailey. "I'll leave you to talk with your Harry"

Bailey looked up in time to see her mum wink and walk out of her bedroom.
