Curls and Caramel

Chapter 8

~ Izzy ~

I slowly open my eyes and see a tall figure standing by my dresser. I gasp a little bit and the figure turns around. It's Harry. I forgot that he came over. Did we sleep together? How long have I been asleep? I groan lying back down on the bed.

"Hello love, guess what?" The way he says love makes me feel tingly.

"What?" I ask rubbing my eyes.

"You missed school today." After I hear that I rush out of bed stumbling to my closet. I can't believe I missed school! I didn't realize I was that tired. If my parents found out that I skipped school, they would flip out. 

"Izzy no need to go now. I called the school and let them know you weren't feeling well at all." Harrys tells me cooly. 

"Really?!" I'm surprised he would do that. Harry nods his head and I walk over to him sitting on the bed. "So what should we do?"

We sit there in the silence with our hands entwined with each others. I get up and go to my dresser and open a drawer with a key. I keep all of my personal things in there. I grab my camera and my photo book. I give the photo book to Harry.

"I want you to look at this. This is my life photo book and only Clarissa has seen it, now you." I give him a look of relief like it's a secret I need to keep but I don't. He takes the book carefully and flips through the pages smiling.

"You were so adorable as a baby, Izzy."

"Thanks."

"There are no pictures on the next page." That's when I hold up the camera. "

"That's what the camera's for. Your a new chapter in my life and I want to remember it." I look at Harry straight in his green eyes that are beginning to water.

"Wow." He's speachless and is very happy. I hug him tightly

"Wanna take the first picture?" He takes the camera from my hand and hold it in front of our faces. He kisses my cheek and I just smile. SNAP.

"This is a keeper." I nod my head in agreement. While in the process of taking some more funny pictures, my stomach growls really loudly.

"You must be very hungry." Harry says poking my stomach.

"Apparently." I run downstairs to see if we have anything decent to eat.

"No, no, no, no, NO!" I moan and slam the fridge shut. I look in the cabinets. Nothing. I really need to go grocery shopping. I turn around and see Harry sitting at the table just looking at me with wanting eyes.

"What?"

"I don't know if you're adorable when your mad or if you're just adorable." I scrunch my nose and Harry makes me keep that face for the picture.

I grab my purse and phone heading for the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Subway."

"I'm just going to go to the restroom." I nod my head and walk over to the counter with a relay attractive worker. He has deep green eyes and brown hair. When he smiles he has a dimple on the left of his cheek. Similar to Harry but more slim.

"Hello and what can I get for a really cute customer?" I smirk trying to hide the fact that I'm blushing. I give him my order and I sit down and wait for Harry. I notice he's the only one working so he comes and sits across from me.

"Hi." I say

"Hello, I'm Jack."

"Isabelle."

"So what's a pretty flower like you being all alone?"
