Harry's POV

Last night was not so great.

I know I've hurt Esmè but, I just want her to forgive me.

Truth is...... I used to have a crush in her back in high school.

She would always where her skinny khakis , a t-shirt and her converse and her hair would always be in a high pony tail. Her caramel eyes would sparkle every time she laughed.

My phone buzzed , knocking me out if my train if thought.

' Esmè and you have a dinner date tonight at 7 , be ready - Sydney'

I rolled my eyes.

I got into the shower and started to get ready for my date with Esmè.

Esmè's POV

'You and Harry have a dinner date tonight at 7, be ready -Sydney'

I huffed and threw my phone in the bed.

"What's up with you Esmè?" Lily asked.

"Nothing. I'm just tired." I stated.

I haven't told anyone about mine and Harry's contract.

"I gotta get ready for mine Harry's date tonight. Shoo, get out babes." I chuckled while pushing her out.

She chuckled with me and walked out.

I closed the door and went to the bathroom.

I showered and then got out.
It's gonna be at a fancy restaurant so, I have to dress fancy.

Psh, ain't no way in hell am I gonna dress fancy.
But then again, I do get money out of this.
Eh.

I walked over to my closet with the towel around my body.
I skimmed through the closes and found the perfect dress. It was black, mid-thigh and strapless.

I dropped my towel to the floor and slipped on the dress. I walked to the bathroom and dried and crimped my hair.

I did my make up and brushed my teeth. I sprayed some of my favorite perfume on (Paris Amour) and walked out. I put on my black pumps once again and grabbed my phone, stuffing it in my bra.

I sighed.
I started to sing.
" Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence , has attending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me

(Chorus)
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper

Well go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a Skyscraper.

Like a Skyscraper"

I just walked around my apartment singing that song just cleaning and all that.

Harry's POV

When I stopped at her door , I heard singing.

Her voice was beautiful.
I listened to hat she was singing and it broke me.

I can't believe I caused all that pain and made her life a living hell all because I liked her.

I'm screwed up.
I knocked and I heard heels clacking on the ground.

The door swung open and she stood there in front of me.
She looked amazing.

"Shall we?" I asked.

She just sadly nodded and linked her arm with mine.

~At the restaurant~

We sat down in a booth in the far back so no one could see us.

"So, Esmè....." I said.

She raised her eyebrows at me.
"Look I know you don't wanna be here I much as I don't but that doesn't mean you try and start a conversation with me." She snapped. In a hush tone might I add.

"I'm sorry Esmè." I said.

She looked to me.
"For what?" She asked.

"For hurting you. All those years in high school I've hurt you and I'm sorry Esmè." I said.

She looked up and gave me a small smile.
"Why'd you bully me anyway?" She asked.

"If I could tell you I would , but I just can't." I told her.

"Why?" She asked , annoyance clear in her voice.

"I can't tell you."
I told her.

She huffed and crossed her arms like a child.

Awwwww. She's so cute.
Wtf?! Did I just say that Esmè was cute?

I just shook it off and we ordered.

"So , Esmè." I took a sip of my water and gulped it down.

"How have you been?" I asked.

She gave me a look that said 'seriously, why would you care?'

"Look , I know I've hurt you so bad and you'll probably never forgive but please, let's just have a nice dinner and you won't have to talk to me until another date." I said.

She sighed and nodded.

~After Dinner~

Esmè's POV

The food was amazing and Harry seemed different.

Why is he being so nice?

Its only 6 months. 'You can do this Esmè'. I told myself

Harry walked me to my door and we said our goodbyes.

"Esmè , wait!" Harry said before I walked in.

He kissed my cheek and smirked.

"Goodnight Esmè." Harry said walking away.

Again, I wash my face.

Ew.
Has it been 6 months yet? No. Okay.
