Rendezvous

Chapter 16***

This has got to be the longest 5 minutes of my life. I'm starting to think that he will not go. And ditch me.

I have changed into a more casual and pleasing look.

Or is it.

Black leggings and a maroon hoodie.

Where do we start?

Liv. You held back so much before. You were so scared of life and what would happen in the future.

"Liv. You are a prime believer of no happy endings. You believe that everyone will hurt you. You don't want people to get in."

Don't turn around Liv. He is here. Why didn't he knock?!

"Sorry I didn't knock. I'm nervous and I was not able to find you in the living room. So I searched for you. Then here you are inside the kitchen" a smile is printed on his face

"I found you. Hello Olivia."

"Hey Harry." He is there. Staring at me. I can feel it, His eyes talking to me and  luring me in.

"Do you want anything to drink? Eat?"

"Water is fine." And so I gave him water. He have this tiny beads of sweat on his temple, he is nervous.

The way he gulped the water. His adam's apple. Liv. You are doing it again, you amaze youself so much with this man!

"Let's go in the living room."

He closely followed. His aura radiating and I feel it. I always feel him. It is this connection that we have developed last summer.

That connection that I tried to remove because I'm afraid.

"Olivia." He sits on the couch.

And I on the other side opposite him.

"Why did you leave? Why did you left me there hanging?"

Because Harry. I love you so much it hurts.

"If you think that you I am getting away with you. Then you are completely wrong. I will always look for you. Seek you. Long for you."

"Harry."

"No. Let me continue. Do you know how hurt I was? When I visited your home and found out that you left?"

"Went to uni without saying goodbye. Without a 'see you soon' and you did not tell me what major you will take. What university will you go. You packed then left me there. In New York. You cut me from your life. Like as if I'm a trash."

"Harry you are too much for me."

"What do you mean :too much", Liv?"

"You are a living epitome of beauty. Your family is at the top of everything right now. For god's sake. You are the son of the president!"

"What seems to be the problem here? I'm not the prince! I don't need a princess. Or like to be with someone who is at my level! Your reasons are maddening me. And besides, stop glorifying the position that I am in right now, because I, too, am having a hard time. From high expectations to being perfect."

"I am scared okay?"

"What are you scared of? What is stopping you?"

"I am afraid of falling in love Harry."

"Olivia. Look at me."

Don't listen to him Liv. Those green eyes will hypnotize you.

He stands up, leaned forward and tilted my chin upwards.

"Those beautiful eyes of yours should not be crying."

I have only realized that I am crying when he pointed it out. You are strong Olivia, please stop crying.

"Harry. Please stop. Leave me alone already. Please."

"No I am not leaving you. Not until you admit to yourself that you want this as much as I do."

"Harry no."

"Liv. We are possible. Us. It is possible. Sure there will be hardships along the way, but we will get through it."

Happy endings are not real.

"Olivia. I may not be perfect or anything. But I will try to be for you. I will help you study. I will buy you sweets or whatever you crave for when in period. And all those cheesy things girlfriend and boyfriend do."

Olivia. Don't hurt yourself anymore. You want him.

"I will take you to fancy dinners. Picnics. I will even teach you how to bike if you want. And if you are sick, I will take good care of you. Just please be with me. Don't leave me again."

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"I had a crush on you before. Like as in. Picture a fangirl and her favorite boyband member."

His face looked puzzled. He is smiling though and looks intrigued.

"Ask me nicely Harry. Again. And I will definitely answer you what you want."

"Olivia Jameson. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes."

He reached for my hand. I stand up, only to be engulfed with a solid huge hug from Harry

And from that moment on. I don't feel so afraid anymore.

I'm excited for the future.
