A New Start

Chapter 6

I couldn't seem to sleep that night. All that was on my mind was Harry. Everything that happened earlier that day was just nothing to him, and I couldn't help but feel down about it, since I certainly knew I had feelings for him. I wasn't sure at this point what his feelings were for me; maybe he was just scared. I was suddenly startled when I heard a heavy sigh and sheets ruffling. I saw Harry's dark shadow pass me as he quietly opened the door.

"Harry where are you going?", I whispered.

"I can't sleep, I was going to go downstairs and grab a glass of milk or something. I'm guessing you can't either. Wanna join?", he asked.

Without hesitation, I got out of bed and followed him down the stairs. I really wanted to be able to talk to him about everything, and hopefully now was the time to do it. I stared out the kitchen window waiting for Harry to bring me a glass of milk. I quickly turned around as he handed it to me. "Wanna go sit in the backyard? I always do it when I can't sleep, I have no idea why", he said chuckling to himself. I nodded and followed him out the back door. We grabbed two chairs and sat out out in the middle of the lawn. Harry brought a few chocolate chip cookies, so we ate those as we just looked up at the sky, admiring all the stars. Sounded cliche, but it was peaceful.

"I'm sorry", Harry said breaking the silence.

I looked down from the sky straight into his beautiful green eyes. "For what?".

"For lying to you. I want to be yours, not just some guy you fuck around with."

"W-what?"

"I'm crazy about you Ellie. It's kind of weird that I feel so weird about you when I've only known you for a few days.. I don't know if I'm just scared or something and that's why I keep running away from all these feelings but I just can't stop thinking about you. That's why I couldn't sleep. The way you kissed me was on my mind and I couldn't seem but feel like an ass making it look like I didn't give a shit about what happened earlier."

I smiled at his words, because I felt the exact same way about him. "It's funny because I can't stop thinking about you either, which is weird because all I keep saying to myself is, how is it possible for me to like someone so much when I've only known them for a few days? But it seems to be possible when I'm with you."

The biggest grin appeared on his face, and without hesitation, he leaned over softly kissed me. He pulled away after a few moments and looked at me, brushing his lips over mine as he smiled softly. He bit his lip as he cupped my cheek, moving in once again to kiss me. He smiled into our kiss, before pulling away again.

"Oh I'm certain now that I most definitely want you to be mine", he whispered into my ear.

I smirked at his words, before getting up and walking by his side back into the house. He wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked down the hall and then up the stairs to our room. I suddenly felt really tired, but I didn't want to go to sleep yet. My heart was beating a shit ton, and I couldn't stop thinking about the way Harry kissed me.

We both got into our seperate beds, and both said goodnight. Once again, I was staring up at the ceiling as my heart fluttered thinking about what happened not long ago. I smiled to myself remembering the way he looked at me at that moment. I've never felt this way before, and I couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to just be with Harry all the time.

"Is it just me, or can you not sleep because we can't stop thinking about one another", whispered Harry from across the room. I laughed to myself because it was true. I looked over and faintly saw Harry get to his feet and walk over to me. "Scoot over", he whispered. I slightly slid over as Harry laid down next to me. I turned onto my side as Harry wrapped his arms around around me. My back was pressed up against his bare chest as he placed soft kisses on my shoulder. I felt his curls brushing against my cheek as he did so. His grip was tight around me, and I felt safe and comforable.
