"Mom! I'm leaving soon!" I yell from my room.

"Okay! Have fun!" she yells back.

Like our yelling system?

After I put on my Chapstick the doorbell rings and I grab my phone and purse. I open the door and see Harry, his hair in a red beanie. Wearing black skinny jeans and a white v-neck. ooh sexy.

Sexy?

No! You do not think he's sexy, get ahold of yourself.

"Hi" I say

"Hey, you ready?" he asks

"Yup." I close the front door and we make our way to his land-rover. Much nicer than my yellow 1970's volte wagon beetle. When we get in I see he has leather seats a a radio that's as advanced as my laptop.

"Wow, nice car." I say in awe of the leather seats and high tech radio.

"Thanks."

When we arrive at the pizza place, I order pepperoni pizza and he orders mushroom. While we sit and wait we start some small talk.

"So why'd you agree to go on a date with me?"

"Why'd you ask me out on one?" I say, dogging his question.

"I asked you first."

I sigh in defeat. "I like pizza and had nothing else to do." I raise an eyebrow at him signaling him to answer my question.

"Because Carly said you're a cool gal. And I thought you were cute." I blush at his words.

"Thanks"

"So where's your dad?" he asks.

"What do you mean?"

"Carly said you don't have a dad, you and your mom live at home."

"Did she give you my whole background story too?" I ask chuckling.

"Well, I asked her." he says

"He went to war" I say tracing the rim on my cup with my finger.

"Oh, glad to hear he's serving...?" he questions the tense of serving.

"Served." I correct. My muscles become tense and I feel sick.

"He died when I was 12." I continue.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I blurt. "You were such a jerk at school and now you're acting like an actual person." I say looking up at a startled Harry.

"I uh don't know" he looks confused by the sudden change in mood.

"Sorry." I mumble

When our pizza arrives Harry immediately starts eating. After we are done we pay and leave.

"Thanks" I say as we walk out. We go to a park across the street and sit down.

"You're welcome." he says

"I'm sorry I blew up at you, I was just angry." I say

"About what?" he asks

"My dad dying. My mom didn't tell me immediately, I found out 2 days before his funeral and she knew 6 days before his funeral." I say tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry" he says

"Don't be, it wasn't you."

"Are you this nice all the time in public?" I chuckle

"If you want me to be" he laughs

We joke around and a group of guys from the bar down the street stumble by, but stop for a minute. One whistles,

"Hey there sexy wanna stop by my place tonight, talk dirty to me? What do ya sayyy?" he's drunk and I ignore him.

"Back off" Harry stands up.

"Is she your lady?"

"Yes." no....

No...

Maybe....?

Harry throws a punch as the guys face resulting in the guy punching him back. I don't know what to do. But luckily a cop runs up breaking it up taking the drunk men away, giving Harry a warming.

"Oh my gosh are you okay?" I kneel next to Harry, his face has cuts and bruises.

"I'm fine." he gets up.

"I'll drive home if you want." I offer.

He laughs, "You just want an excuse to drive my car."

I laugh along, "Maybe, but you look pretty beat up." I say

"Yeah, you can drive." He tosses me the keys.

When we arrive home I give him his keys back.

"Do you want to come in and get that taken care of?" I point to his face.

"Please, if my mom saw this she would freak." he says and I lead him inside.

After I clean Harry up we sit on the couch.

"Thanks for cleanin' me up." he says

"My hanks for the pizza, and keeping that creep away from me."

"I hope you know that I'm into you." he says laughing softly."Ive got the bruises to prove it." he points to his face.

"Well, after tonight, I think I might be into you too."

Did I just say that?

Holy crap I just said that.

Da fuck?!

"Really?" he asks

Oh well.

I lean in to his bruised face and gently lay my lips on his kissing him.

"Really." I assure him.

A/N
