Chapter 38

Gabrielle’s POV

Once Harry had come to pick me up at my house, I instantly started asking him about what all happened at the park as soon as I sat down in the passenger seat.

All he’d tell me right now though was that he told her yes, and then he told me that we’d talk more about it once we got to the house. I eventually got him to tell me some of what happened today, because I was just too anxious and I really wanted to know.

Normally Bella would’ve been texting me nonstop after she got a date with a guy, but earlier I had remembered that I don’t think she’ll really be texting me much anymore. I went ahead and texted her that I had gotten my phone back and I thought that she would at least want to brag to me that she got a date with Harry when I told her she shouldn’t bother asking him, but she’s said nothing to me.

Anyways, Harry told me that she had basically straight up asked him out on a date once the little boys left to go play in the park. He also told me that saying yes to her was pretty much the only thing he got to say while he was with her because after that she was nonstop talking, not even letting him comment or even get one word out about whatever it was that she had been talking about at the time. That’s pretty much how she is with guys though, when she finds out that the guy is a good listener, that’s all she will have them do most of the time is listen.

I hated to tell Harry that if we had wanted to say something while she was talking today, he should’ve just ignored that fact that she was still talking and just talk over her, but I knew Harry wouldn’t do that. I realized in the time that I’ve known him that he isn’t really big on interrupting people unless he’s pretty close with them, I guess it’s the fear that the person might get mad if he talked over them. Besides all that, Harry then told me that she put her number in his phone and then that was basically the end of that mid morning and afternoon for him today.

Once he had finished telling me all of that, we were almost to his aunt’s house, but for the time being I was pretty much left to my own thoughts and the barely audible sound of the radio that was really loud before Harry quickly turned it down as he had started up his car. I had to admit to myself that I was nervous about this date Harry and Bella were going to go on tomorrow.

I guess not exactly as much nervous as I was worried about it. I mean I trusted Harry and everything, I knew he wasn’t going to do something he knew that he really shouldn’t, it was Bella who I didn’t trust not to try something on him. I knew Bella and I knew by the end of the night, if the guy doesn’t make a move she for sure will. And even if they didn’t want to kiss her, if she starts it they will for two reasons.

One, they’ll feel bad rejecting her right then when she has enough confidence to lean, and they just reject her by not calling her, but that’s besides the point.

Two is just self explanatory in a guy’s point of view, a girl is wanting to kiss them so guys being the boys that they are will kiss her because I mean come on, no straight guy wakes up in the morning and thinks ‘you know I’d rather not kiss a girl today’ it’s just how most male minds work.

I knew Harry wasn’t going to be either one of those stereotypes in this situation with Bella, but I still worried. What if Harry ends up feeling bad rejecting her and kisses her back. I had to keep telling myself that wouldn’t happen, but I know there might be a slight possibility since Harry is opt to feel bad about things like rejecting people, or interrupting.

My biggest worry was a pretty stupid one, but of course my mind had to entertain the thought. I had a slight fear that on the date Bella actually stops talking long enough for the two of them to have an actual conversation. I feared that could led to them finding things in common and bonding and then staying out all night talking and hanging out.
