Chapter 6

A few days had passed with not much action besides goofing around with Harry during work hours.

I looked at the clock and rolled out of bed happy that Harry gave me the day off.

For most of the day I sat around watching movies and cleaned a little, but at about 4:30 I started getting ready for my date.

I walked into the bathroom and started the shower quickly washing my hair and hopping out. After I dried myself off I started putting makeup on and waited for my hair to dry.

Just as I was getting ready to walk out I heard my phone buzz. It was Harry telling me how excited he was. I quickly asked him if I should wear something fancy, but he said casual attire would do.

I walked out of my bathroom and into my closet looking for something to wear. I grabbed a grey short sleeve shirt and dark green and blue flannel to go over it. I walked over to my dresser and flipped through my pants before finding my light wash ripped jeans and slipping them on.

I walked back into my bathroom picking out multiple items of jewelry and slipping them on while turning around and looking at my hair. I made a disgusted face and decided to throw it up in a messy bun.

I checked my phone and saw it was almost 6 and that Harry would be here soon. I ran to my closet and grabbed my short brown ankle books and slipped them on. I then grabbed my purse just in time hearing a knock on the door.

I opened the door seeing Harry wearing a grey sweater with black jeans and brown boots. I stared at him for a moment before snapping out of it and smiling walking out the door.

"You look... absolutely stunning." Harry said smiling and looking over at me.

"Oh whatever." I said rolling my eyes.

"But thanks. You do too." I continued while blushing a little.

"Where are we going?" I said breaking the silence once we got in his car.

"It's a secret." He said smirking.

"Oh come on...I hate secrets- you should know that."

"Well you'll just have to wait and see." Harry said rubbing his lips. We sat quietly for several minutes before Harry finally broke the silence.

"Alright. Let's play a game."

"A game?" I said in reply.

"Yea. Like 20 questions."

"20 questions." I said laughing.

"Alright. You first." I said continuing.

"Okay um... What was your most embarrassing moment during school."

"Oh gosh-" I said laughing thinking about all the times I've made a fool of myself.

"Well.... Alright one time during lunch I had to use the restroom- so I did- and uh when I was done I walked out in front of everyone with toilet paper dragging on my shoe." I stopped as Harry started to laugh.

"Okay! Okay it wasn't that funny it was embarrassing! I didn't even notice until one of the janitors pointed it out."

"I never really though that could happen in real life, I mean you see it on TV and stuff but wow." Harry said stopping to laugh.

"Alright alright my turn. Hmm... Worst date you've ever been on."

"Oh wow... Alright well... This one time- at the club actually I uh met a girl and we went on a walk, just showing her around really, and she stopped because she saw this tree and said that she "absolutely had to meditate under it" I thought she was joking, but she legitimately went and sat under the tree and stared to meditate."

"Wha-" I started.

"I know I know... I just walked away I honestly had no idea what to do." He said as we both laughed.

"Alright favorite book."

"Eleanor and Park."

"Hmm mm alright."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I said joking.

"Nothing nothing, it's a good book."

"You've read it?"

"As a matter of fact I have."

"Interesting." I said smirking.

"What?" He said snapping back smiling.

"I just wouldn't expect you to be the type to read much that's all."

"There's a lot you don't know about me Addison." He said with hesitation.

We stayed silent for several seconds before we finally pulled into the restaurant. I looked at the sign and read Flying Bear.

"Have you ever been here?" Harry asked as we got out of the car.

"No, I've never even heard of it."

"You'll love it trust me."

When we got inside a waitress sat us down at a tall booth lined up in the middle of the room. I picked up the menus and started to read it wondering what would be good.

The waitress finally came back so we quickly ordered. Most of the night we talked about the multiple sports games that were on around us and our love for them.

"Have a nice night." The waitress passing us said on our way out.

"Thank you." We both said in reply.

When we got back in the car Harry immediately asked me a question.

"Favorite 80s movie."

"Hmm 16 candles."

"Really? I don't understand why everyone loves it so much- I mean it's a good film don't get me wrong but I dunno.. I've seen better."

"Like what?"

"Hmm Breakfast Club."

"Okay You're not wrong... But you don't have to be so basic!" I said jokingly as we both laughed.

"Okay worst thing that's ever happened to you." I said not thinking. Harry hesitated before answering.

"My mom died.. when I was 7. Yea It's- It's been a shit show ever since, but it's alright." I stayed quiet for a second not knowing what to say.

"Harry... I- I'm so sorry I didn't kno-"

"It's alright. You don't have to be sorry."

After stayed silent for a few minutes I finally said something.

"Why did you change all of a sudden." I saw him raise his eyebrows not understanding what I meant.

"You were so different when I first met you. Now it's like- I dunno." I said as Harry pulled into my apartment complex and parked.

"I- I've never really done this or felt this way even. I've struggled with it so much... I'm so scared- but I've fallen in love with you- and I know I'm probably just another guy saying this to you that you've heard a hundred times, but for the first time in my life I've met someone I don't want to just have sex with and never talk to again. I think you've got to be pretty damn special to make me feel that way." Harry finished becoming nervous.

I could feel myself starting to become emotional. I leaned forward and kissed him to stop myself from crying, but when I pulled away a tear was running down my cheek.

"I love you too." I mouthed.

"Goodnight Harry." I added.

"Goodnight Addison." Harry said as I got out of he car and rushed inside trying not to let all of the emotions inside me explode.
