Attraction

t h i r t y-t w o // great going

Hey guys! Enjoy this chapter cause I surely did while writing it. Anyways important author's note at the end please read it. Okay thanks now enjoy.

    The wind blows and it's calming in a way. My heels are held by my left hand and the sand is soft under my feet. Harry walks on my right, his hands in his pockets.

    I feel my heart race every time our hands brush each other. We ate at a cute restaurant. It was outdoor, with fairy lights lighting up the areas. The table we sat had roses and was candlelit.

    He ordered a steak and I ordered pasta because no matter where, in an unknown area you can always rely on pasta. No one can mess it up.

I found my self paying attention to him more than eating. Like the way he let out his tongue every time he took a bite, or the way every time before speaking he wiped the corners of his mouth. Even the slightest thing like he would turn his index finger's ring with his thumb or the way he would smile, looking down, two deep dents appeared on the sides of his cheeks.

    After we finished eating, more like he ate and I stared at him like a freak, we roamed around the fair and decided to just walk beside the waters. The beach had very few people here and there.

    The smell of the salt, and Harry's cologne filled my nose. "So you were saying you prefer fries with ice cream more than fries with ketchup?" I looked up to see a cute frown on Harry's face.

    I let out a giggle and nodded my head. "That's weird." He muttered. "Next time, I'm taking you out to McDonald's and you have to try it, capiche?" I said.

   "A date?" He raised his eyebrow and ends of his lips stretched into a cheeky smile. I blushed and socked him in the shoulder.

   I walked towards the water, the water till my ankles. The ends of my jeans were slightly getting wet but wasn't a bother. The waves were calm. The city scape could be seen. Stars littered the sky and the entire scenery was just mesmerising.

    I shivered as a strong breeze blew. I sighed and tuck the strands of hair behind my hair, " It is beautiful isn't it?"

      I raised my head and from the corner of my eye I swear I saw him facing me a whisper," Yes definitely beautiful."

    I turned to look at him but he looked down with a hint of a smile. It felt nice seeing him smile, as few months back I was absolutely sure he was immune to smiling.

     I tore my gaze away from the eye pleasing man and turned back towards the view. Harry might have noticed me shivering, so he shrugged off his coat and draped it onto my shoulders.

     I opened my mouth to protest but his stern look made me shut up. His cologne hit me and I felt myself overwhelmed by his scent.

   "I saw an ice cream truck, let's go." He said and started walking towards the path, away from the shore.

"I'm looking at what ever you took and hate it already." I said cringing at his green ice cream.

"It's mint. Probably the best flavour."

    I gave him a 'are - you - kidding' look. "Nothing beats chocolate chip my friend." I said.

" I thought you would be more of a strawberry girl, no offence." He said, his tongue darting out to take a lick of the ugly green ice cream of his.

    He even managed to look amazing while eating ice cream, the heck?!

    I rolled my eyes and continued to eat my heavenly ice cream.

    We sat opposite to each other on a small bench opposite to the ice cream truck.

   "By the way when we-" before I could complete I was faced with a wheezing Harry and I waited him to stop. "You have got ice cream on your nose." He said and I was embarrassed.

   Great going Emily!

I was just about to rub my nose when Harry's thumb pad softly wipes off the ice cream. He palm held my jaw and his hands were so large that his thumb reached all the way to my nose.

    I seemed to get lost in his wonderful green eyes which had a twinkle. His hand stayed there for a while. I found my self leaning but stopped.

"I .. uh.. thanks." I replied softly. He nodded and dropped his hand fast, and my face felt cold .

    We continued eating keeping our conversations short. We threw our napkins away and went to the car. After that we reached back to our hotel.

"You don't have to come all the way, it's fine." I said walking into the elevator. Harry was being a complete gentleman and pressed to come drop me till my hotel room.

"Lala Lala." He says, blocking his ears. Such a kid!

    We reach my floor and stand in front of my room. "So this is my room!" I laughed awkwardly. He stood there swaying from his heel and toe. "Yes, it is."

"I enjoyed today, thanks for taking and showing me around." I smiled.

"Yeah no problem." He shrugged.

    We stood there for a while and he faced towards the elevator. I.. uh..bye, good night." I said and swiped my card on the door.

   He says it back and walks away. I was expecting more. "Wait, your coat." I grab his wrist to stop him. He turned with a smile and I removed it from my shoulders and pass it to him.

    We seem to stand there for a while, but I realise nothing was going to happen. Maybe I thought he liked me, maybe I thought wrong.

    I could feel my eyes sting when he nodded and started to walk away. I was expecting too much from someone who would give two shits about me.

    I turned back, trying to keep my emotional self at bay.

"Em?" I heard Harry whisper.

"Yeah wha—" before I could complete my sentence, I feel something on my lips stopping me from doing so. My eyes widen as I realise it was a pair of lips. They were soft and smooth and belonged to the green eyed man I started to like so much.

My eyes flutter close as his hand comes to cup my cheek. His mouth moves slowly and steadily against mine. My skin is on fire, heart beating in a frenzy.

My hand goes to grip onto his shirt and I pull him down so I don't have to stand on my toes. He obliged and pushes forward and my back hits the door.

We pull apart, trying to catch our breath. I can't believe that he just kissed me! He pressed his forehead against mine, lips pulled up in a smile. He opens his eyes and they are a light shade of the prettiest green and I can't stop staring. He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and suddenly drops his hand from my face. I frown but let it slide.

"I.. uh.. bye." He said stepping away from me, with a blush on his face, causing me to miss him already. I give a small wave and reply, "Bye." But he already reaches inside the elevator.

   I enter my hotel room, squealing and fall onto my bed, face front.

Happiest day ever!

What just happened? Hope you enjoyed it.
I have started writing a new book, 'Truly Yours' you can find it on my profile. Please show some love and support to it as I'm really excited for it.

As for 'ATTRACTION' this book will always be my baby. I'll continue writing but probably at a slow rate as I want to pay attention on 'Truly Yours'.

Votes, comments really help knowing whether you guys like the book or not so I'm going to keep like goals so I'll update once it is reached as it's hard writing with a writers block.

Don't be a ghost reader. Share you views.
