Meant To Be

Chapter 4

The rest off the day I was got so many text messages from Rose. At first she was mad, she talked to me in private and lectured me about break ups and that if anything happened she would help me. I told her what I told myself and assured her that everything would be OK. After that, Harry and I headed down to the beach to go for a swim after he drove me home to get my suit. The sun was bright and there was so many people there, we could hardly find a place to put our towels. When we first got there Harry beckoned me into the water, but I refused. I dosed off when suddenly, "Madeline..Madeline?" I heard my name then I felt a splash of water on my face, which made me shoot up. I suddenly felt like I was tipping over when I realized where I was when I screamed. "Harry!!" I was on a surf board in the middle of the ocean. I may have over exaggerated about the middle of the ocean but we were far enough out that I was pretty scared. Then a wave came and I flipped the board over and got a mouthful of ocean water. I felt arms grab my waist and pull me up out of the water. "Are you OK?" he said smiling but concerned at the same time. "He pulled me up and pulled me onto the board, with his arms still around my waist. I looked down at his arms and then back up at him. "Worst boyfriend, ever." I said mockingly then fake rolled my eyes. Harry started to pull the board closer to shore. Once he stopped I sat upright and patted the board motioning him to get on. He leaned over and smiled. "What are you looking at?" I said. "You are beautiful, Madeline." That's the second time he has said that to me. He must really mean it. I don't think that I have ever seen him more serious in my life. ...In that moment his soft hazel eyes reflected off the green sea. The mist sprayed his face which landed perfectly on his eyelashes making his face sparkle. For a moment, I saw it in his eyes I saw it in the way that he looked at me. He laughed, but making sure not to loose eye contact, and he leaned in closer. Was he going to kiss me? Then he got so close I could feel his breath. I closed my eyes ready for him to kiss me when, the wave knocked us off the board. I rolled over under the water, it enveloped me in seaweed. Then Harry took my hand and grabbed my waist, then pulled me out of the water. "Are you OK?" He held me close to him. "Yes, I'm OK" I coughed up water. "We had better be heading back." Harry said. "OK, Thanks Harry I had a lot of fun." I smiled at him and he smiled back. Then we packed up our stuff and started walking back to the car hand in hand.
