Pt 7

Age 11

"Happy birthday,Harry!" Esme smiles,hugging Harry tightly. He hugs the younger girl,a huge smile on his face. Once they break away,Harry pecks her lips softly. Esme's eyes widen. She parts from Harry,running into her classroom quickly. She sits down,not believing what had just happened. It was her first kiss.

"Esme,I-I thought you liked me." A hurt Harry states,looking away from the girl with green eyes. He continues to push her on the swing,her brown locks flowing behind her.

"I do but I just didn't think you'd..do that." Esme pauses,"You just took me by surprise. That's all."

"Did you like the surprise?" Harry asks shyly.

"Yes Harry,I liked the surprise." She giggles-her laugh as loud and voluminous as she was beautiful.

"Zayn's probably waiting for me,i should go."

"Tell him I said hi."

"I will." She grins,her smile bigger than the Cheshire Cat's,walking back home.

"Harry says hi." Esme states,not sure if she should tell him about earlier.

"Harry's a nice ki-"

"He kissed me," she blurts out. Zayn's smile fades as he watches his little girl who was now not a little girl.

"Do you like him?" Zayn asked,venom in his tone. He didn't know why he was so mad but he just was. Harry had kissed his Esme. He was lethal.

"I-I don't know..m-maybe?" Her small voice quivered. Zayn was mad that Harry kissed her,Esme noted,but why?

"You have a crush on him,Esme. And that's okay for now but know I'm going to be your last."
