Do You Remember Summer '09?

Chapter 5 - Falling

Chapter 5 - Falling

Harry stopped splashing, and looked me in the eyes. My stomach felt like it was on a roller coaster, flip after flip. Something about this boy made me smile, and I just met him. The first day in this house, and we still have about 2 months & some odd days to go. Harry slowly walked towards me. I smiled even wider, as he was just a foot away from me. he slowly lifted his hand up to my face, and I closed my eyes, waiting for him to lay a gentle kiss on my lips. I then feel his thumb wipe something off the corner of my mouth. I open my eyes, and he grinned. “You had a bit of ice cream on your face, love. But I got it.”

He jumped into the water again, and I just stood there. A bit confused, a bit flustered, and a bit embarrassed. Maybe he didn’t think that way of me.. I quickly rinsed myself off in the salt water, and started to walk back up to the deck. “Sammi?” Harry yelled, still in the water. I didn’t look back, I was too embarrassed. “Sammi! Wait up, what’s wrong?” I got up to the deck, and opened the door.

“KAE! CAN YOU BRING ME A TOWEL?” She came through the kitchen, and tossed me a towel. I started to dry off, Harry running up the beach. Once I was a tad dry, I slipped through the door, and quickly closed it. I was jogging to the front of the mansion, and then up the stairs. I could hear Harry just entering the house. I finally got up to the third floor, and ran to my room. I quickly shut it, and locked it.  Kae was downstairs, so I had the room to myself. I ran into the bathroom, and put the wet clothes in the tub. I ran over to my bag, which was still packed, and put on my pajamas http://www.polyvore.com/sammis_pjs/set?id=66804473#stream_box . I walked out, and started down the stairs, to the family room. Kae was talking with Liam, while sitting on the ground. I came up, and sat down.

“Hey Sam! You and Harry have fun?” Kae asked, while winking. 

“Uhh, not really. I’ll tell you about it later tonight.” I said, looking away. Kae could tell something was really bothering me. Liam looked super confused.

“Girls, it’s getting kinda late, I’m gonna go hit the hay. See you later.” Liam said, while getting up. 

“Night, Liam!” Kae and I both said simultaneously. We both looked at each other and laughed. I looked at the clock on the cable box, and it read 9:12. I yawned, tired from the flight and everything. “Night, everyone!” I said to both families.

“Night!” They all said back. Kae and I both climbed the stairs, slowly. I was looking down, when I accidently bumped into someone. I looked up, and there was Harry. 

“Sam, can I speak to you in private?” I looked at Kae.

“I’ll leave you two alone. Come up to the room when you’re done, Sham.” Kae had made up a nickname for me in the 6th grade, and since then, everyone called me that. 

“Alright, KaeBae.” I gave her that name after she gave me mine. She kept climbing the stairs, while Harry grabbed my hand, and started pulling me back down the stairs. Once we reached the bottom, he opened the huge front door, and let me walk through it. He shut it behind me, and he took my hand again. He led me to the palm tree that was in front of the house. He sat down, pulling me along the way. 

“What did I do wrong? I thought things were going great. Sam, it’s only the first day in this house, but it feels like we’ve been here for a while now. I feel like I’ve known you forever. Tell me what I did to make you run off?” He said, looking down the whole time. 

“Harry, it’s not what you did.. I guess it’s what you didn’t do. I don’t know, it’s not really your fault. I just expected more. I know now that it’s won’t happen.” I tried getting up, but he wouldn’t let me. “Harry, it’s okay. I over reacted. I’m tired, i’ll see you tomorrow?” He still wouldn’t let me get up.

“Was it when I wiped your face?” He asked, now looking at me. I nodded. “You thought I was gonna kiss you?” He asked. I nodded. “Sammi, you don’t know how much I wanna kiss you.. But I don’t wanna move too fast. I like you. I like you a lot.” And with that, he kissed my cheek. It was a quick peck, nothing much. But it was enough to make my stomach feel like a roller coaster again. He got up, helping me up. With my hand still intertwined with his, we walked back up the steps to the mansion, and walked in. While going up the stairs, it was silent. Not an awkward silence, but a comfortable silence. We got up to the third floor, and he walked me to my room. 

“Thank you for tonight, Harry.” I said, and leaned in. I kissed him on the cheek. I turned around, and opened the door. He stood there, smiling. I walked into the room, and closed the door. After I closed it, Kae looked up, and saw that I was all smiles. 

“Tell. Me. Everything.” She said, while I went to her bed, and sat down.

A/N: Hope you liked the chapter. If any of you were wondering what this house looked like, I imagine it like this.. (To Right)  But with a beach in the back, not trees.
