Ever since the day Bridget and i had ice cream,things had been great between us..we went out to different places having fun and basically just enjoying each others company.Like right now we were at a music store..You might be wondering what i was doing in a music store when i knew next to nothing about music.It was saturday morning and i decided to surprise her by bringing breakfast to her apartment.Max was with a friend of his Cindy because they were having a play date at her house and they had adult supervision so i was free for the next 5 hours.After having breakfast in her apartment she decided to go to the music store on the other side of town because they sold the best musical instruments. i decided to tag along with her seeing as i wanted to spend more time with her.She wanted to buy a guitar for a student she would be coaching...We walked into the store and we started looking around.

"So what model are you looking for" The store owner asked as he went around looking for what she wanted.

"The latest"..he went to the back to look for it while we walked around the store.the music player was playing Out of the woods by Taylor Swift,dont ask me how i knew the song.She walked over to the music player to increase the volume.

"I love this song...i love the message in it but i dont really like the way she sang it..but its a good song" She said as she nodded her head to the rthyme of the song.

"If you think she hasn't done the justice to the song,why dont you sing your own version of the song.sing it the way you would have wanted her to sing it" I suggested to her.she looked at me thinking over the idea.she finally nodded

"No i dont think so..besides i dont sing so its not possible". she looked looked down at her hands and i saw sadness in her eyes.

"How is that possible.you are a music coach,great with different instruments so i'm quite certain you can sing".she looked at me for a moment as she sighed.

"i dont sing so lets leave it at that".i wanted to say more but the shop owner came in with some sets of guitar.after she selected from them i offered to pay but she refused.she payed and we left.we got into my car before i decided to say something.

"I'm sorry i pushed you into something your not comfortable with.i get you dont want to sing but i dont understand why..brisget i know we've only being friends a few weeks but i wanr to understand you,help you in any way necessary..i just want you to know that" I looked at her hoping she would see my sincerety.

"I'm sorry too for acting the way i did..its just that i'm comfortable with the way my career is right now..i dont want to complicate things".she said as she played with the ring on her finger.

I started the engine and the car came to life.i turned on the radio as i left the parking lot. "Sweetheart now i know you dont mean that..but i'll drop the topic for now because i dont want to upset you"..She smiled and we talked about more lighter topics.i drove to my penthouse without really thinking.when i turned off the car i saw the look of surprise on her face.

"Urhmm...Harris,where are we" she asked as she got down from the car to look around.

"My apartment..come lets go in" we got into the penthouse and i heard her gasped.she looked around in awe while i went to grab us some drinks.

"You like?" I asked with amusement in my voice..

"You call this an apartment? well if this is an apartment then am living in a tent". I laughed at her statement as i gave her a drink.

"your place is great.dont over exgerrate things..have a seat..are you hungry? i can make spagetti and source if you like"i wwlked over to the fridge looking for ingredients.

"Urhmm..anything else?"she wskes as she took a seat by the kitchen counter

"I can make spagetti and source,source and spagetti..which would you like?"i got out the thongs from the fridge to make us something to eat.

"I dont know..so much to pick from" She said scartically pretending to think.I rolled my eyes at her as i started mking the sauce.

"Spaggetti and sauce it is..can you help me put water in the pot".we cooked like thatvin silence each of us knowing what to do.we moved round the kitchen as if it was the most natural thing to do.soon enough the food was ready abd we were both eating.

"So max lives with you now" she asked as we were eating.

"Yes that's correct.since my parents couldn't possibly go with him,he stays here with me.its been fun actually.his a very smart kid." I gulped down my glass of water before answering her

"I'm sorry for the lose of your brother.it was all over the news" She said as she reached out to touch my hand.

"Its ok.its takes a little getting use to but i'm getting there" i said trying to get the sad look off her face.she changed the topic seeing as i didnt want to talk about it.

"So where is max".she asked as she took our plates to go over to the sink to wash the dishes.

"His with a friend of his for a play date.he should nmbe gome soon"i looked at my wrist watch to check the time.

"Ok then..is it ok if i make some cookies for him.i know they are his favourite".She said as she looked at me waiting for my approval.

"Sure why not.I'll help.what do you want me to do"i asked as i showed her where to get the ingredients.she was trying to get down the flour from the upper most cabinet but she wasn't able to.i went over to her to help her.i held her waist to stop her from jumping as i reached above her to get the flour.we stood like that with her back pressed to my chest.the flour slowly came down and rained on us.

We were both surprised by what just happened.the floor was covered with floor and so were our bodies.we started laughing untill tears came out of our eyes.i got her some towels so that she could clean some of it off her face.We started mixing the ingredients together when our hands suddenly touched.I took her hands in mine and i looked her in the eyes.my eyes suddenly went to her lips and i saw as she took in more breath..i leaned in and we were so close i could feel her breath.i gently whispered in her ears and i saw her visibly shiver..Good to know i affected her that much.

"You know,if you really want to kiss me,i wont stop you" After pulling away she looked at me with her face still flustered.

"Jerk!..You wish"..I laughed because she couldn't hide the truth much longer..i couldn't either because as much as i denied it,i really wanted to kiss her but i didnt want her to lose her trust in me.we baked the cookies and they tasted great.Max arrived with cindy and we all ate the cookies.It was well past 2 when i dropped bridget over at her apartment.i pecked her on the cheeks before leaving..it was safe to say i had a great day.
