Tell Me It's Love - Part 19

Harry moved away with a sorry look on his face, suddenly feeling the nerves returning in his stomach. He could feel his cheeks becoming flushed and he silently prayed Bailey wouldn’t notice. He cleared his throat, his heart racing beneath his chest.

“Are you um, are you staying for tea?” Harry asked, his voice wavering slightly.

Bailey opened her mouth to speak but her words failed her. She felt her heart beat fast against her chest, moving her gaze down away from Harry’s eyes.

A sudden ‘beep’ coming from Bailey’s pocket filled the silence in the room. She quickly pulled her phone out from her pocket seeing a new message from Rich.

‘where are you?! you’ve been gone for hours. get home now!’

Bailey felt her heart sink with fear after reading the message, each word alarming her. She quickly closed the text then put her phone back into her pocket, looking back up at Harry to see his eyes travel back to her in confusion.

“I erm, I need to go I’m sorry. That was my mum, she needs help with something” Bailey said, feeling her heart pound as she spoke, not sure if she was convincing enough.

Harry didn’t say anything in reply, instead he stared back at Bailey not moving his eyes away from her own. Bailey fought to look away as she stood up from the bed then moving over to grab her jacket from the chair in the corner of Harry’s room.

Harry watched from where he was still sat on his bed, feeling guilty as Bailey put on her jacket then turned back to smile at Harry.

“I’ve had a lovely time, thank you” Bailey said, her smile still on her face.

Harry smiled back but then it faded slowly. Still feeling the guilt inside of him he sighed softly then stood up from the bed, walking over to where Bailey was stood.

“Bailey, I haven’t messed things up between us have I? I probably shouldn’t have done that, I mean we hardly know each other and it wasn’t fair for me to just come on to you like that and I’m really sorry” Harry stopped talking and let out another sigh, feeling more nerves inside his stomach.

Bailey slowly let her lips break out into another smile, “You have nothing to apologise for, honestly it’s fine. And you haven’t messed anything up”

Harry weakly smiled but still felt his heart pound hard with guilt. His head lowered with his gaze down at the floor, biting his lip nervously.

Another smile crept onto Bailey’s lips as she slowly stepped closer to Harry. His head lifted back up once he had realised Bailey had moved and he smiled in return, catching her eyes with his.

“You’re cute when you blush” Bailey spoke softly, her voice almost a whisper.

Harry’s heart skipped a beat as he realised Bailey could tell he was blushing. He kept his eyes locked with hers, a cheeky smile creeping onto his mouth.

“Only when I blush?”

Bailey grinned back at Harry shaking her head with a laugh.

“Other times too”

Moving her head closer, Bailey pressed a soft kiss to Harry’s lips. Her hand found itself being entwined with Harry’s as she pulled her head back, staring into his eyes and feeling her heart beat faster.

Seconds passed by with neither of them breaking the eye contact. Their smiles matched each other’s and the heart racing feelings passed through both of their bodies.

“I better go” Bailey finally said, not at all wanting to ruin the moment but knew she had to leave.

Harry slowly nodded for his reply, giving Bailey’s hand a gentle squeeze before moving his away. He smiled back at her then nervously bit his lip.
