Our Love [H.S]

3.

The rest of the week was tedious and today was finally Friday. I make my way out of the Daycare I work at, relieved I can go home and take a nap. I feel my phone buzzing and see Kylie's name pop up. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone after a day of chasing toddlers around. Pushing my phone back into my pocket and I reach my dingy old car. She might be a huge eye sore but we have had amazing times together. As I pull up to my house blasting my music, the one person I was not expecting to see was standing at my front door. Harry.

"Why are you here? What are you doing?" I am so confused by this man.

"I just thought I would come and see how you are doing with your ankle."

I am shocked, not perceiving him as the type to care or even remember who I was.

"It's okay, I iced it and stuff." Still so curious as to why he was here I stand there awkwardly.

"Good, good." He seemed anxious about something and I couldn't figure out why.

"Yeah, okay, so I am going to head inside and get changed. Thanks for stopping by"

"Actually, I was wondering if you would want to get some frozen yogurt with me?" The butterflies erupted in my stomach and I couldn't help but smile. I was obsessed with fro-yo and cannot believe he asked.

"Sure, I would love to." Relief washed over his face and I could see the blushing color rise in his cheeks.

"Are you blushing Harry?" I couldn't help but giggle at his reaction to this.

"No, I don't blush. Don't flatter yourself."

He seemed displeased by my comment so I just rolled my eyes at him and shook my head. My god who would have thought a man could be this moody.

I run upstairs to my bedroom and see Kylie peering over the window. I could already tell she was spying. She was most definitely the nosiest person I knew but I loved her anyway.

"Kylie what are you doing?"

"Well I called you because I wanted to warn you about this man who was waiting in our driveway for you. And before you ask yes I did talk to him and yes I already told him you would go out with him so you better have said yes."

I know many people would get annoyed at her for doing this but I knew she was just doing it out of love. She has been pushing me to put myself back out in the dating world for a few years now after what happened with Drew. My mind starts to drift off to that traumatizing night and I can't help but start to shudder at my thoughts. It felt like he was in this room right now.

"Hey, you okay?" I feel Kylie's hand reach out and touch my shoulder. Snapping out of my thoughts I just nod my head.

"Good, well let's get you dressed and ready for this hot man! I still don't forgive him for stealing our parking spot but damn his eyes have a way of swooning over the ladies." She runs into my room and picks out a sun dress and booties.

"You are kidding me, right? I am not wearing a sun dress to get fro-yo" I chuckled and walk past her to put on a pair of leggings and my comfy sweatshirt. I already feel bad for making him wait.

"Fine at least do something nicer with your hair." I scoff and just throw it up in a bun and call it a day. I have no reason to impress Harry so this will do.

"Okay I'm leaving! I'll text you so don't worry." I run down the stairs and make my way outside. I see Harry sitting on the porch waiting patiently. He looks so calm with his hand tugging at his bottom lip.

"Hey, sorry that took a little while but I am ready to go." His eyes shot up and flickered up and down my body. He takes his bottom lip in between his teeth biting down and I couldn't help but get the urge to kiss him. I need to relax. He grabs ahold of my hand and leads me to the car.

The scent of his cologne and smoke consumes me and smells heavenly. I am not one for smoking but the mix smells so sexy. Spotting a pack of cigarettes, I pick them up and inspect it. Curiosity takes over as I take one out. I never understood why someone would turn to these knowing how damaging they are for your lungs. I feel a large rough hand reach over mine and snatch the pack away from me.

"You don't need those."

"I'm sorry, I was just looking." Why was I apologizing?

"Do you always apologize for no reason?"

"Sorry, it's just a habit of mine I guess." Dammit I did it again. It's just something I have always done.

"You did it again." I peer over at him clearly annoyed that he keeps bringing it up.

"Okay? I say sorry a lot get over it." I can't help but get an attitude with him. He brings something out of me that no one ever does. If I ever talked to Drew the way I talk or act to Harry, I would learn my lesson real quick.

"Sassy, I like a girl that will give it back."

I see him smirking in the corner of eyes but decide not to entertain it. Instead I go this his C. D. collection to avoid any more discomfort. I guess he saw me admiring his Lana Del Rey one and grabbed it from my grip to pop it in. I would never suspect him to be a Lana fan with his whole dark demeanor. American played throughout the car and everything seemed peaceful for once. I closed my eyes to take in the wind. The warm sun beating down as rush of summer air makes me want to smile. It makes everything else in the world just fade away.

"Lucy, Luuuucy."

I woke up to Harry nudging my leg to wake up not realizing I fell asleep.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think I would fall asleep I've been super exhausted lately. How long was I out?"

"Stop apologizing, it was only for 15 mins, why are you so tired? Are you okay?" A look of concern washed over his face.

"Yeah just a busy day at the daycare and stuff." I didn't mention the nightmares keeping me up or the fears I have of Drew making it difficult to fall into slumber.

"That's cute you work at a daycare, now let's go get some fro-yo!" It was kind of adorable to see him get excited. Definitely a side of him I would like to see more of.
