His lips were soft against mine . It took everything in me not to kiss him back I pulled away from him slowly . I moved away from him to put a little distance between us .
" I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that I don't know what I did that for ... I'm sorry Annie . "
I bit my lip lightly " Umm ... It's fine I just ... I don't wanna lead you on I'm not looking for a relationship with anyone "
He slid his hands into his jean pockets " No I get it friends ? "
I smiled " Have we ever stopped being friends ? Even when you pushed me down in that mud puddle on my birthday you were my best friend . "
He smiled a mischievous smile " I don't recall me ever being mean to you I believe it was the other way around actually "
I pushed him lightly " You're a jerk "
He held his chest like I had wounded him with my words . " You are a bully Miss Monroe . "
I climbed outta the tree house of death without another incident and we walked slowly back to the house .
He stopped at the bottom of the steps " I should probably be heading home I had a good time . It was nice seeing you . How about we hangout another time I will show you whats new in Evesham ? Maybe tomorrow ? "
I hesitated " Yeah umm ... But can you promise me something first ? "
He shrugged " Sure what is it ? "
I went down the steps till I was facing him eye to eye " Promise me you won't go falling in love with me I'm no good for you "
He looked at me in shock " I promise "
I gave him a light hug " See you tomorrow Harry "
I watched him get in his car and drive away before I went back into the house. I slid my shoes off slowly at the door and made my way up the stairs to my moms room . She was laying in bed still she turned to look at me.
" Did Harold leave already ? "
I nodded and laid in the bed next to her " Yeah , he just left a few minutes ago . He's taking me sightseeing tomorrow . "
She smiled " Hes a fine young man . You two would be quiet the couple . I always thought you two would get married and give me beautiful grand children . "
I almost choked on my own laughter " Mom we are just friends . I made that very clear to him earlier . I have no intentions on falling in love with anyone I'm barely nineteen . "
She frowned " A mother can only hope I suppose "
I laid my head on her shoulder " I just wanna live in the moment . I just wanna be happy nothing more and nothing less . And right now I'm happy . "
