Whisper

Chapter 2

   July 4th

   Today was the day that everyone in our street would set off those annoying fireworks that annoyed the hell out of me. I mean, who actually cares if you make noise on independence day? You can just celebrate quietly in the comfort of your home. Whatever. At least I have 4 more hours until it all starts.

   My dad literally forces me to go every year to see the park's fireworks. By myself. I decided to go just so he won't throw a fit like some toddler.

   I got dressed into the most anti-american things. Not that i didn't like America, it's just that my favorite pair of shorts and tshirt happen to have the french flag on them.

   I started walking and I finally got there. The place was crowded. Out of the corner of my eye I see a familiar dimpled face peering at me.

   It was Harry.

   I didn't want to look away but my shyness thought otherwise. I quickly looked away and tried to forget about my surroundings.

   "Hi" He appeared to be standing right behind me now; less than  3 inches away. His hot breath against my neck.

   I turned around. Damn he was so hot. A grin shone apon his flawless face.

   "Happy fourth of July" He tells me. I smile back at him and wish him the same.

   We just stood there taking in eachother's facial features. "hazel" was all he said. Maybe he was referring to my eye color?

   We watched the cascading colors of the fireworks. His large hands traveled to my waist and we stood there looking at the fireworks.

   I turn around and look at his eyes. The bright red fireworks bursting in the sky reflected against his green eyes and I couldn't look away.

   The fireworks finished. "Let's walk back to my place?" he asks. I nod.

   His house isn't that far so it takes no more than 5 minutes to get there. "Coincidence?" he says questioningly. "huh?"

   "I meant if you thought it was a coincidence that we both showed up at the firework show." he smirked.

   I smile, "yeah."

   We get to his small beach house. As we get inside, my nose is filled with that pine smell that he always wears. It was like a dozen Harrys everywhere. My eyes scan everywhere. This place is pretty decent.

   "Want anything?" he asks pointing at the refrigerator.

   "I'm fine, thanks." I smile.

   He walks over to the couch where I am sitting and plops down right next to me. I try to distract myself from how close he is to me by attempting to play Flappy Bird on my phone but that didn't work. I ended up getting even more distracted by him.

   I am caught off guard by his hand on my cheek, turning my head toward his. He scans my face and smirks.

   His body was so warm. It was then that I realized that we were...kissing.

   Atlast I am pleasured by his soft lips once again. This time, the kiss gets deeper and deeper. I prop myself up on him and my legs go either side of his hips.

   I am now straddling him and he seems to enjoy it. I am snapped back to reality and it makes me realize how right it feels yet so wrong.

   "Uh..Sorry" I say as I quickly move from my position on him. "Sorry for what?" he frowns. "I was enjoying it." he adds.

   "Oh uhm..okay." I wasnt exactly over my ex Brian. He was my first real boyfriend. Harry seems nice but I only just met him yesterday. I felk naturally to him but I really shouldn't. He probably has a girlfriend that I don't know about and he's just cheating on her. He looks like the type but doesn't seem like type.

   "Was it...bad?" He frowns. Now I feel really bad for doing that. It wasn't bad at all.

   "No. It was really good actually. But it's not the best time to do this. We only just met and I just got out of a serious relationship." I explain.

   "Oh okay. You can always tell me when you're ready. I will always be here."

   I could sense the awkward tension in the room.

   "My father is probably wondering where I am right now. I'll see you another time?" I tell him.

   "How about tomorrow?" he asks. I just nod in response and smile. I turn around to walk out the door but he stops me. "You're forgetting something." I frown confusedly.

   He notices my bewildernent and hugs me. "This." He hugs me tightly. I couldn't let go of the tight way he was holding me. He was so warm.

   He lets go and I said my goodbyes.
