Just The Way You Are.

Just The Way You Are. 5.

Chapter 5.

The next day, I went to work and when I finished, Harry was there waiting for me again. He did that for the rest of the week. Fortunately, my boss told me I could have a free day so I decided to pick Saturday as my free day. I told Harry I was free that day and he asked me if I wanted to go to his place.

“Harry we never go out like friends, it’s like you don’t want people to see you with me?” I told him.

“it’s not that, Cristy” he said on the phone.

“I know I’m not a super model or the most beautiful girl on earth but I know I’m not ugly” I said.

“don’t say that again, you’re beautiful” he told me. That made me smile like an idiot. Thank god he couldn’t see my face right now.

“okay whatever, at least let me bring some food, this time I can pay” I told him smiling.

“okay babe” he said.

 He gave me his address and I wrote it on a paper. I took my stuff and started my way to the store and then to Harry’s place. I bought some Chinese food. When I arrived, Harry opened the door with a smile.

“hello” he said.

“what’s up Henry” I said handing him the bags with food. I went inside the house and he came behind me.

“act as if you were in your own house, okay? My place is your place” he said.

“good” I said looking at the frames and pictures he had on the walls. I saw a few pictures of him and those boys. Then I saw a picture of the guy with stripes and a girl.

“is she his girlfriend?” I asked him.

“what? Oh yeah, that’s Eleanor, Louis’ girlfriend.” He replied.

“cool” I said.

“he lives here with me, that’s why all those pictures of them are there” he told me.

“she’s beautiful” I said in a low voice but I think he heard me.

“and so you are” he said looking at me.

“stop trying to be nice, Harry” I told him smiling and sitting on the couch.

“I’m being serious, Cristy. You’re a beautiful girl, actually, one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever seen here” he said looking into my eyes. I was feeling so nervous. What should I say. I was feeling weak, like falling on my knees. This boy made me feel like that.

“well, thank you..” I said smiling at the ground. I didn’t want to look at his eyes because I knew it would make me feel more weak in front of him.

We stood in silence for a few seconds. It was so awkward because I felt how he wanted to say something. Finally he opened his mouth to talk.

“so, what should we do?” he asked.

“I don’t know.. what do you have?” I replied.

“well I don’t have so much things, just these games we played the other day, I have a computer, a fridge, a couch, a TV..” he said but I cut him off.

“HA HA HA no way you have all that stuff, how lucky you are, my friend” I told him laughing.

“hey, you were the one who asked me” he said laughing too.
