Tell Me It's Love

Tell Me It's Love - Part 14

A couple of hours had passed by and the sun had begun to shine beautifully out of every direction.

Harry had took Bailey to all of the best shops that he could think of in town, including his favourite clothes shop 'Jack Wills'. As the day had gone on, Bailey felt more and more comfortable around Harry. They had a lot of things in common and Harry no longer felt the nerves bubble inside of his stomach. Instead he felt happy, very happy. He was enjoying spending time with Bailey more than he thought he would.

As they turned a corner leading onto another street of shops, Bailey folded her arms against her chest and looked over at Harry, who happily walked along side her.

"I still haven't had that ice cream you promised me" Bailey said, causing Harry to look at her with a grin as her mouth broke into a cute little pout.

Harry felt his heart flutter and he swallowed calmly. "I'm beginning to think the only reason you said yes to this was so I would buy you ice cream" He raised his eyebrows slightly at Bailey.

Bailey giggled and looked thoughtful at Harry. "It was one of the reasons, yes, but not the only one" Bailey said, smiling.

Harry laughed and shook his head. "Ok then, the lady gets what the lady wants!"

"Thank you, as I should" Bailey respectfully nodded at Harry and then let out a heart filled laugh, her cheeks beaming.

Harry grinned back, his heart speeding up again. He couldn't believe the amount of happiness he felt at that moment. It was as though nothing could stop him from smiling.

They both turned another corner and carried on walking, Harry leading them to the big park at the end of the road. As they reached the gate, Harry stepped back to allow Bailey walk through before him, just as he did back at Bailey's house.

Walking through the park, Bailey smiled as the sound of birds singing and kids playing filled her ears. The sun shone stunningly onto a small pond in the corner, the light glistening on the water. The grass had a freshly cut look to it, the green a deep colour. A white butterfly flew around Harry and Bailey and then landed safely on a daisy that was in the ground.

"This looks a nice spot" Harry said, stopping where they both stood. From here they were directly in the sun and away from most of the people already at the park.

"You sit and get comfy and I'll go get ice cream!" Harry said, smiling and pointed towards an ice cream hut not too far from where they stood.

Bailey nodded and smiled back, before sitting down on the grass, watching Harry make his way over to the hut.

Her eyes travelled to the other side of the park and landed on a family of four sat having a picnic. They had a red and white blanket underneath them and a basket open to the side, all kinds of food had been spread out over the blanket and had been shared between them all.

Bailey watched as the dad of the family tickled the little girl, making her laugh. A slight ache in Bailey's heart was enough to make her look away. She felt tears fill her eyes as she swallowed the lump in her throat. She quickly wiped her eyes as she saw Harry walking back towards where she sat.

He sat down to the side of her and looked worried at Bailey, noticing the sad look on her face.

"A-Are you okay?" Harry asked, not wanting to make Bailey feel any worse just by asking.

Bailey felt her heart sink at the fact that he had noticed. She smiled faintly and nodded, before looking down at the tub of ice cream to see which flavour Harry had got.

"Good choice, strawberry is my favourite!" Bailey exclaimed, smiling up at Harry.

Harry looked down at the ice cream then up at Bailey and smiled back, still worried about her.

He watched as she took one of the two red plastic spoons from Harry and she opened up the tub, taking the lid off and placing it on the grass next to them. His eyes stayed watching as she ran the spoon along the top layer to fill her spoon with the pink ice cream.

Harry smiled as she placed the spoon into her mouth and swallowed its contents. Her eyes were still glistening from her tears and all Harry wanted to do was pull her into a hug and tell her he was there for her. But instead he smiled at her, too afraid to make her feel worse by saying anything.

"Are you going to have any of this or am I eating alone?" Bailey asked, bringing Harry out of his thoughts.

Harry mentally shook himself and lightly laughed. He scooped up some of the ice cream with his own spoon and placed it into his mouth in one movement.
