Forever Is A Promise

¶ Chapter Six ¶

Harry POV

Walking to our old meet up spot was...giving me a lot of deja vu.

I sat at the bench under the tree fiddling for a while. I got there five minutes early and she'll get here right on time. One of the things that work good with us. She hates being late so if we leave five minutes early she won't have to be.

I hear foot steps approaching making my head turn towards the noise for me to see a woman.

Not a girl.

But a woman.

She looks graceful and enduring. She wears a camo green and brown crop top with black lace on the bottom and front matching it with black skinny jeans with zippers on the sides making it a trendy outfit. She has black combat boots on and has her hair in a half up half down looking thing. Two buns on the top. Her makeup is a little darker than before and has a more "grown up" feel to it.

She does indeed have a nose piercing, its a black flower looking thing. Her blue eyes look a little more dull than before, but I can't blame her.

She looks up at me from her phone and smiles a beautiful smile. My breath stops for a moment but I recompose and stand up reaching my arms out for a hug which she gladly gives. She smells like green apples and mint mixed together. I've always told people mint is my favorite smell to smell on people, thats mostly because she always has a minty smell and it reminded me of her.

"Hey love" i smile at her taking in her small frame she looks up at me and smiles back "hey"  I gester for her to sit down on the bench which she does. I take a seat next to her smiling still. "How are you?" She asks, her voice making my stomach tingle "fine, and you?" I ask making her smirk "could be better" .

She sits across from me at the little dinner we chose to eat lunch at.

She's reading her menu looking absolutely stunning. If I could I would reach over and grab her hand telling her how much I've missed her. But I don't since I am with Louis.

Since the bench we've been catching up and just walking around L.A. i got noticed by some fans and took a picture with them.

We soon got hungry and decided to sit down and have lunch which wounded us up at this dinner.

She looks up from her menu furrowing her eyebrows at me. Got caught staring. "Harry, you good?" She asks which I nod my head at making her grin then shake her head looking back down and her menu. The waiter came over and gave us some water before asking us if we wanted any type of drink which I ask for a sweat iced tea and she asks for a dr.pepper.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy when the man looked her over and flirted a little which made her blush. I bet she's used to it. Stop harry.

She looks over at me her eyebrows raised smirking "did you see that?" She whisper yells at me making me chuckle at how adorable she is. "What?" I mock her making me receive a playful kick under the table. We can play footsies if you want babe, HARRY STOP.

"He totally just was flirting...I- it's just weird" she says pushing some loose strand of hair behind her ear "no, not when your like...you" I say making her turn red but cough trying to distract from it.

He comes back with the drinks setting them down on the table then turns to her smirking then biting his lip before getting his note pad and pen "do you want to order?" He smirks when she blushes from being under his stare. I grab my thigh tightly stopping myself from saying something I'll regret. "Yes please, can I get a cheese burger with a side of cheese curds?" She asks which he nods and scribbles down then he turns to me asking me the same which I order a cheese burger with a side of onion rings and a flower onion ring apitizer which he nods and scribbles it down then turns back to her "will that be all sweets?" He asks making her blush even more she shakes her head "no, that's it thanks" she says being her polite self which I've always loved.

He leaves then she looks at me wide eyed "did he just-" "call you sweets?" She nods laughing a breathy laugh "I've never, that's weird" she mumbles into her dainty pointer finger that's between her plump lips. Oh the things i would do to you, harry no.

I lick my lips trying to ignore the buldge in my lower reagion. She notices my absent stare to which she waves her hand infront on my face making me come back to reality "sorry love, spaced out" I say. "Your fine" she looks down at her phone then back at me "so...the whole alex situation" she begins, we've been avoiding this topic since the bench.

"Yeah" I drag it out trying to stall it off just a couple more seconds.

"He..he has been sentenced two years in prison for going against the restraining order and is facing a couple more charges" she says making her eyes dull a little. "Good, he won't be messing with you anymore" I say making her nod her head, "I just...feel bad, like maybe if I just listened to him then we won't be in this predicament" she says looking down as if she was being shunned. I reach over and put my hand on top of her much smaller one "don't give yourself such shit, love, he should have never touched you. If it wasn't you it would have been another girl, she might have gotten it worse" she nods looking up at me with something in her eyes I look back trying to figure it out but we get interrupted by the waiter giving us our food which we then eat.
