Part Three
Jane P.O.V -
As we stepped into the dark night, a gust of bone chilling wind blew past us-causing me to involuntarily shiver.
"Are you cold?" Harry questioned, beginning to shrug off his coat.
"No, no, it's okay," I argued placing my hand on his, " keep it on."
"Not when you're freezing I'm not," he insisted, slowly placing his jacket upon my shoulders.
"But you'll be cold."
"I'm fine as long as your fine." He answered gazing fiercely at me with his warm emerald eyes.
I looked away, frightened by the strong emotions coursing through my veins.
We walked in silence, each lost in our own separate thoughts.
Where were we going? Why did he want to leave with me?
It then came to mind that I barely knew him. Harry and I had just met and yes he saved me from practically being raped, but that didn't justify why I should have left with him.
As we continued walking I slowly set distance between us, praying my nervousness would go unnoticed.
No hope for that.
"Hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you, " Harry assured me, obviously aware of my uneasiness. "I'm not like that. I promise." He flashed me his signature heart melting smile.
"I know I'm sorry it's just that I don't so this quite that often," I explained.
"What? Go out with attractive guys?" Harry teased, "You're trying to tell me that a girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend? I wouldn't be surprised if you had a date for a night."
" No!" I flustered, "I don't. I'm not like that. I used to be a little big all of my life, and when I recently finally lost all the weight, I never really gained the confidence to start dating." I stated staring at the ground, embarrassed about what I had just revealed.
I looked up, expecting to see Harry looking at me with disgust sketched into his face. What kind of fat girl would have dating experience? Instead, Harry has this appreciating look across his face.
"That's amazing to be honest. I'm actually grateful that I can give you an amazing first date," he huskily whispered staring at me as if he saw something worth staring at.
"Really? I-I didn't think this was a date. I didn't think you'd want to, " I shyly replied. He would actually do that for me? He'd actually spend his time to give a girl he just met a wonderful date?
"Of course Janey," Harry sweetly responded, "Who wouldn't for a retry girl like you?"
With that Harry pulled me into his arms and showed me the time of my life.
*******
I slipped my heels off, wincing with pain as I padded through the living room to access my bedroom.
Dropping my purse and belongings alongside my bed I glanced at the clock: 2:00 am. I yawned with exhaustion. Harry and I had a splendid night.
We had walked down this beautiful dark river and stared at the blazing yellow stars pasted on the midnight sky. After a while we grabbed a bite at a fancy local cafe.
It was the perfect night.
We didn't do anything important. We talked about anything and everything. He told me about the stars and the galaxy and about how he never believed in love and he wanted to just live his life.
Yeah that part sucked.
I felt as if Harry and I connected on a different level but some things I learned about him scared me.
He had a dark past. He was dangerous.
Growing up he had to protect his brother and his mom. His dad was the governor of their Sector and he was abusive. Outside to the city folk they appeared as the perfect family but inside the white wall of his home, there was so much blood and destruction.
Harry had to grow up at a young age and that would always haunt him.
He probably got into fights and did chaotic things because now, i can see that dark side in him.
But I don't care.
Because even if he was compulsive and dangerous, he was nice to me. Caring.
I was surprised he told me all those things about his past, but again I felt like I knew him since forever. Maybe he felt that way too.
Drawing myself out of my thoughts, I changed into loose baggy shirt with comfortable shorts.
I lazily sprawled onto my bed and succumbed to sleep, dreaming about a certain curly haired fellow.
