I'm in love with a Criminal

Chapter 8

I sat in my dorm. Starring at my closet. Trying to think of what to wear and why I agreed to go to dinner with him. I pulled out a white flowy strapless dress with a thin brown belt around the waist.

I slipped the dress on and decided to wear some while flip flops with it.

My hair was already straight so I left it and put on some black mascara and a little black eye shadow.

I heard a knock on my door.

Harry.

As I opened the door his eyes widened.

"Roxy. You look- you look amazing."

"Thanks. So do you."

He was wearing black skinny jeans with a black v-neck and a necklace with a cross on it.

"All ready?" He smiled.

"Yep." I followed him out to his car. He kindly opened the car door for me.

Which no one other than him has ever done to me.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked while driving off campus.

"It's up to you" I replied.

"Can I surprise you?" He smiled.

"Sure."

As we were driving the radio was on low. Free Falling by Tom Petty came on.

"I love this song!" We both said at the same time. Then laughed . Harry turned the volume up.

I looked out my window . California was beautiful.

I heard Harry's low raspy voice sing along to the song. He didn't sound bad either.

We pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant . It looked like it was an Italian restaurant.

We walked up to the front.

"Harry!" A male server exclaimed. While shaking his hand.

"Hey Josh!" Harry smiled. The male looked to be around Harry's age.

"Roxy this is Josh I've know him for years! His family owns this restaurant."

"Nice to meet you." I smiled lightly.

"Let me get you some seats." He said while leading us to a set of stairs.

What? Why are we going upstairs?

"Harry?" I began.

"Don't worry just come." He smiled.

When we got to the top we were on the roof of the building you could see all of California and the ocean. It was beautiful. I looked over and saw a table set for two.

I smiled at Harry.

"Is it ok up here?" He asked me.

"Yes!" I gave him a tight hug.

He chuckled his cheeks turning red.

We both ordered spaghetti and meatballs because apparently they're amazing here. We stayed an just gazed at the city once we were done eating.

"It's so beautiful up here." I told him " thank you Harry , for everything."

"It's nothing." He scratched the back of his neck.

I started to feel like I liked Harry.. But I didn't want to like him . But I did! But didn't ! But oh I'm so confused.

"H-Harry ?" I stuttered

"Yeah ?"

"If I ask you something will.. Will you promise to answer it.. And tell me the truth?" I asked hesitantly.

"Yeah sure. Go for it."

"Did you- did " I stopped myself.

"Go on. " he chuckled.

"Did you... Have you ever.. H-have you killed someone ?" I finally spit out.

His facial expression immediately changed

"Roxy."

"Have you?"

"LIZ TOLD YOU DIDN'T SHE" he raised it voice.

"YES BUT I JUST IM AFRAID I MIGHT BE STARTING TO FEEL SOMETHING HERE AND I NEED TO KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HURT ME !" I yelled.

He face softened.

"Roxy , I would never hurt you." He said softly.

"Explain to me what happened."

"Roxy it's not that simple I can't." He said looking down.

"Then I'm leaving."

I stood up from the table and ran downstairs' I heard harry calling me from behind. But I didn't stop I called a taxi and got a ride back to campus . I felt like a huge bitch but I just .. I don't know.
