Second Year Teacher

Chapter 11: Chills

Harry POV-

I physically can't stop smiling, I've never felt this way before. I dropped my smile to a smirk because my cheeks were starting to hurt, and glanced over to Alexis. Her eyes were wide and she was staring straight forward. "Are you okay?" I asked, gently rubbing her hand. She blinked a few times and readjusted in her seat, "Yeah, I'm fine" she said, sinking back down. "You sure?" I asked. "Mhmm" she said, sitting up again, plastering a smile on her face. "Alright" I said, something about her made me trust her when she said she was okay.

I pulled up to a little italian restaurant, I could see a smile rise to Alexis's lips. I brushed off my dark jeans, and white button down, and sprang out of the car. I opened the door for her, like a gentleman should do. "Thank you" she said, her smile gave me shivers down my spine. The way her full lips formed around her perfectly straight teeth gave me chills. She giggled, and the shivers came back, just everything about her was perfect.

The waitress sat us in the back, at a little booth with a dim light hanging low over the table. Alexis smiled and nodded her head as she slid back to her seat at the end of the booth, "This place is absolutely adorable" she said, shooting another perfect smile to me, sending the chills back. "Like you!" I said, with a cheeky smile. "Shut up" she giggled, lightly slapping my hand. "Not if its true" I winked, as she slapped my hand again, "I'll stop now" I pulled my hand into my lap. She just sat there smiling and for a few seconds, I bit my lower lip trying to find something to talk about.

She finally broke her smile, "I'm so happy to be out of my little house" she said, scanning the restaurant, occasionally darting her green eyes to mine. "Oh, do you not get out much?" I asked, tilting my head to the side just a tad. "Well, because I'm afraid Peter will break in-" then she stopped, "Nothing" she smiled wide, pretending she hadn't just said that. "Who's Peter?" I asked, my face puzzled. "My ex - husband..." her voice trailed off, "Awkward" she muttered under her breath, making me laugh. "Why would he break in?" I said quietly, very concerned. "Because he wants to get Julia away from me." she bit her lip as tears formed in her beatiful eyes. "It seems like I'm always telling you not to cry" I said, gently wiping away a few tears from her cheek. "I'm sorry" she said wiping some smeared eyeliner. "Its fine, I kind of like it" I stared into her green eyes, lit up by my last comment. "Your crazy" she said, tilting her head back. "About you" I looked to the side really fast. She just laughed and laughed, but I couldn't take it. I had to laugh with her.

We both sat there laughing, until the waitress walked over. "What can I get for you today?" her mellow personality stopped us on instant. "I'll just have water" Alexis said, "Me too" I replied. The waitress scurried off, and I stared into her eyes. I could just go on and on about how perfect they are, how perfect she is. But to Alexis, it's probably old news. "So, how can you have an ex - husband, and only be 23?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "I honestly don't know..." she looked at her hands "I had Julia when I was 16, and I thought Peter was the man of my dreams, then he changed" some tears fell. I hated seeing her cry, it made me want to just burst into tears. "Hey, its alright" I said, taking the tip of my index finger and tilting her chin up, "I'm here for you, just let it all out" I said, smiling to her. "You sure you want to hear the whole story?" she said, kind of stern. I nodded yes, "Tell me everything".
