BELOVED [h.s.]

Chapter 15. Edited.

"What kiss?" I shrugged and pretended I was taking this okay, when I was about to burst into tears.

"Okay, I feel better now," he hugged me softly.

If he continued doing this I will like him even more and if he didn't like me the best for me was to forget him forever and just treat him like a friend.

"And it's better if we stop hugging this way. It's weird," I said.

"If you say so," he shook my hand and smiled.

I said goodbye and ran away looking for Julie and Danny. When I sat in the grass my phone rang because of a message.

*Being just friends doesn't mean we can't go to have dinner this week .x* I turned around and Harry waved and then walked toward Elizabeth.

I was torturing myself doing this but I really didn't want him away from me. I answered: *of course we can't* but he never replied back.
I waited all the rest of the week for him to call me when we were going out and I was losing hope until my phone rang while a was taking a bath.

"So, I'm literally outside your house. I tried to call you but my phone didn't have service till now," Harry laughed.

"Oh..." I was supposed to have lunch with Joseph and my mom. How did I tell him that I couldn't? "Give me 10 minutes, I'm in the shower," he laughed.

I took out the first jeans I found and wear a nice new coat, I didn't wash my hair so I put in a beanie and after putting a bit of makeup on I ran to his car. He was outside, analyzing my garden leprechaun.

"Hey," I was exhausted.

"Hi!" He tried to hug me but then remembered our deal. "How are you?"

"Good and you?"

"Bored. I had to babysit my cousin all the week and now he is gone so I have absolutely nothing to do today,"

"Oh, that's sad" I said. "Harry..."

"Huh?"

"I can't go out with you today, I'm having a special lunch with my mother and her boyfriend today," I was really sorry and I preferred thousands of times been with him than with them.

"Your mom moved the dinner for tomorrow." He said smiley.

"What? How do you know that?" I asked so confused.

"When I arrived your mom was outside and well, we had a little chat and its tomorrow. So you are free today, I just want to show you Holmes Chapel. Is a few miles from here and you've never been there," how did he know that? I never told him that... no wait, I've been there...

I agreed but before going with him I said goodbye to my family and he did the same too. When we went out the house again Jacob was in front of us. I know he was hurt when he saw us but he tried not to show it.

"Hey Linda, aren't you going to introduce me to him?" Jacob smiled and Harry did the same but falsely.

"Jacob he is Harry, a friend. Harry he is Jacob, friend and neighbour," I introduced each other and they shook their hands.

"Nice to meet you," Jacob lift the corners of his lips.

"Same," Harry nodded. "It's late, we need to go," he added.

"Okay, have a good time," he kissed my cheek and walked into my house.

I climbed in the car. I felt bad because of the way Harry treated Jacob.

"That guy... his style is not okay," Harry said.

"What?" I looked at him confused.

"You know, he dresses like a punk,"

"Nope," I didn't remember how was he dressed but I knew he wasn't "punk style".

"You are dating a punk,"

"First of all, I'm single. Second of all, he is not punk," I laughed. "You are such a paranoid."

He laughed and didn't mention anything else about it. We went to the school he studied, touristic and rustic centers, and his favorite places there.

"My mom wants my... us to have lunch in her house because she never sees me and well,"

"She is adorable," I said.

"So, its okay if we go there?"

"Of course." I smiled.

His house was beautiful. I felt like home when I entered. It was warm, modern but still with a little old style. Anne and Robin where there.

"Hey," Anne hugged me, she was a lovely woman and gorgeous. That's why her sons were so perfect. "How are you honey?" She touched my stomach, "you must be hungry, just listen to this," she laughed softly.

"Mom... please," Harry was ashamed of her mom, but although that was weird she was still adorable.

"I'm going to finish the chicken. Show her the house, baby." Anne said to Harry.

"Mom..." Harry complaint and I laughed.

She kissed his cheek and went to the kitchen. I pinched his dimples softly.

"Baby," I whispered to bother him and then giggled.

"Let's go outside," Harry laughed and held my hand to take me outside.

There was a big trampoline and he sat in the middle, because of the material he jumped a little bit and then slapped it showing me where to sit.

"Okay," I sat slowly so that I didn't jump but then he stood up and jumped making me do the same and fell in the middle with him. If I had fallen a little bit more to the right I will be sitting on his legs. "Don't do that again," I laughed.

"What? This?" He jumped again and I pushed him out the trampoline, I got so scared when I heard something hitting hard on the floor. "Harry?" I looked near the corner but he wasn't there. "What the heck?" Someone grabbed my waist and pull me back, I turned around and Harry was laughing at me, he had his hands on my hips and his chest almost in mine.

"Were you worried?" He asked me still laughing.

"Yes! I thought I had killed you," I giggled.

"Scared you are prettier," he whispered but I could read his lips. I blushed immediately but said nothing.
