With Your Love

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

A few minutes later, I see a huge ferris wheel start to come into view. There are plenty of rides and food like cotton candy and funnel cakes. Being here brings back so many amazing memories. I almost feel like a kid again.

I don't even wait for Harry to come and open the door considering I was the first one to step out of his black Range Rover. He comes up beside me with his hands in his pockets as I take in the amazing sight in front of me.

"So, you really like the fair, huh?" He asks.

"Yes. It's been so long since I've been to one. Can we go have fun now?" I say bouncing up an down on my toes.

He smiles. "Yeah, lets go." He reaches for my hand and intertwines our fingers. I look down at our hands before looking up at him and smiling.

We walked around for awhile, arguing over which ride to get on first. Eventually, I win and we go on a ride that spins around while you stand on your feet. I've always wanted to go on it, but I was always too short.

After a few minutes of me screaming and Harry's sudden outbursts of fear, we both stagger away from the torture machine. At this point, I'm crawling on the ground with my eyes squinted because I couldn't manage to walk straight and the ground wouldn't stop spinning.

Harry looks over at me and laughs before helping me to my feet.

"Lets go, Velma." He says as we walk in the direction of a bench.

Once my vision goes back to normal, I finally turn my attention to Harry.

"I'm getting hungry." I say right before my stomach growls loudly, making him chuckle.

"Me too. Let's go find something to eat." He stands and grabs my hand to steady me as I'm still a little wobbly.

After 2 slices of pizza and 5 more rides, I start to get tired.

"Harry, I don't think I can walk anymore." I tell him as we finish a game.

Have you ever seen one of those games where you have to throw the ball at the bulls eye to dunk the person into the tub of water? Well, I had 3 chances, 2 of which I missed wildly, but Harry decided to help me with the last on. He stood behind me with his left hand on my hip and his right placed over mine. He guided my hand making the ball hit right in the middle and dunking the middle-aged man into the tub of water. I even won a little stuffed koala bear, my favorite animal EVER.

"Here, you can hop on my back." He stops in front of me and bends over, offering access to his back.

I hesitate for a minute, not really sure that I should, but I decide to anyway. Hey, if I break his back, it serves him right I guess.

I jump up with as much ease as I can. He doesn't make a sound as I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, not even a grunt.

"Tori, relax. You weigh practically nothing, your not hurting me." He says, placing his hands under my thighs and gives them a squeeze.

"So, when do you want to leave?" I ask after a few minutes of walking.

"Right after the fireworks."

"Oh, when do they start?"

"You know, I'm not sure." By now, we're coming up on a row of tables and an information booth. A cool breeze blows around us, making me shiver so I bury my head into the crook of Harry's shoulder.

"Hold on, sit here for a minute." He places me down on one of the tables. "I'll go see." I pull my legs up and sit indian style, placing my stuffed koala bear, Peter, on my lap while I watched Harry stroll over to the stand.

"Hey." I hear someone say after a while, making me jump. I turn my head to the left to see a boy about my age with black hair and hazel eyes that stare into mine before he sits down beside me.

"Umm, hi." Is my only response as I look down at my lap.

"So, is that your boyfriend?" He asks in a friendly tone as he points at Harry who is now waiting in line behind 2 other people.

"Uh yeah that's him." He slowly leans towards me before whispering in my ear.

"If you stay quiet, you'll make things a lot easier on yourself." His voice was suddenly very low and kind of creepy. I was confused by what he meant until I felt his hand brush against my leg.

Oh no.

I gasped and looked at him with wide eyes. I look around for Harry, but he's still in line for information. Does it really take that long?!

His hand creeps higher to the inside of my thigh. I think about yelling out for help, but as soon as the thought crosses my mind he leans over and whispers harshly, "Don't you dare." And roughly grabs my leg, making me whince. Of course we would be in the most secluded area of the fair.

His hand is dangerously close to my crotch. When his hand is inches from it's destination, my attention is captured by the information booth line moving up and Harry starts talking. I feel the strangers hand slowly retreat.

"If you tell anyone about what just happened, especially your boyfriend, I'll kill him." He says with no emotion as he glares into my eyes.

He hops off the table and says, "I'll be watching you Tori.", before strolling away like nothing happened.

When he disappears from my sight, I blink rapidly and try to even out my breathing. I am beyond terrified and if I don't calm myself down, I know I'll have a panic attack.

Who was he and how does he know my name?

Harry's POV

Could this line move any slower? I mean seriously, there's only 3 of us in line. I turn back to check on Tori to see her looking down at her lap. A strand of hair falls out of her ponytail and she pushes it back behind her ear. I smile to myself, she's so adorable and she doesn't even try to be.

The feelings I'm developing for this girl, are starting to scare me. I've never felt this way about any girl, ever. It's usually about the sex, always the sex. But, I feel like there's something about Tori that makes me so interested in her.

I've only known her for about a week, but it feels like I've known her my entire life. Like we have this strange bond. Damn, I sound like a girl.

After what feels like hours of waiting, I finally get to the front of the line. I find out that the fireworks start at 10:30. Hmm, I wonder if Tori's up for it. She looked kinda tired when I left her at the table. I mean, we have been here since like 5:00. Oh man, she's probably exhausted.

I turn around after thanking the person at the booth to see Tori sitting where I had left her. She looked kinda sweaty and her eyes were bulging out of her head while she looked around frantically, she looks terrified. I pick up the pace on my walking.

"Hey, are you okay?" I squat a little so I can look her in the eyes. She looks at me, blinking her eyes rapidly.

"I'm fine." She says, trying to smile, but I can see right through it. "Can we just go?"

"Well, I was going to see-"

"Please." She pleads.

"Okay." I take her hand and help her off the table as she walks closely beside me towards the exit, holding on tightly to her stuffed koala bear like a small child.

I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
