2. I'LL TAKE YOU ON A DATE.

A month, almost two, had passed since Willa met Harry. Every moment they both had free was spent with each other. Willa still made time for Alex but she was with Harry a lot more now. They were practically inseparable. They knew everything about each other.

Willas head rested on Harry's lap as his fingers ran through her hair whilst they sat on her bed and she reminisced about her not so eventful love life, "I just want to go on a date. It doesn't even need to be this huge romantic date. I just want to go out with someone and move on from Lance." She sighed, looking up at Harry, who had a deep frown on his lips, "It's just so annoying." She groaned, sitting up and turning to face him, "I know I can't have a serious relationship right now—my work hours are too long and i'm waaaay too mentally damaged to be in one but... FUCK!" She screamed out of irritation, shoving her face into a pillow. Harry couldn't help but to stifle his laughter, somehow finding how annoyed she was funny.

Willa sat up and hit Harry with the pillow, a pout on her lips, "Not funny at all, British Boy." She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her chin against her knees while he smiled at her slightly, "You know, i'll take you out on a date, if you want." Harry spoke quite bluntly to get the idea out there. Willas head perked up at the proposition and her eyebrow raised, "You—what?" She asked, confusion written all over her facial features. Harry smiled and nodded, "Yeah. I'll take you on a nice date, anything you want to do." Willa let the words sink in and a smile rested on her lips, "What were you thinking for a date?" She sat a bit straighter, interest clear with how she was acting. She wanted to know everything he had in mind. Harry hummed in response, "Dinner and bowling. I'm feeling mexican though. I know this great place that has amazing 1942 shots."

Willa ran her fingers through her hair and licked her lips to hide the smile fighting to appear on her lips at that moment, "Yeah? That sounds fun. I'm down if you're being completely serious." She spoke. Harry rested his fingers under her chin and tilted her head up so their eyes met, "Of course i'm being serious. It'd be an honor to bring you on a date." Like that, Willa was putty in his fingers. She knew she had been attracted to him, quite evidently since he was attractive and nobody could deny that, but hearing those words leave his mouth solidified that feeling. She nodded, "Then lets go on one." She grasped his wrist, tugging his fingers down from her chin and beginning to play with his rings, "When do you want to go?" She tilted her head to the side, "Tomorrow night. 7pm." Harry said, a smile now on his mouth, "Sounds good to me." Willa said, the same smile now on hers.

Willa and Harry spent only a few more hours together before he left to go home. She'd be lying if she said it felt weird to be in bed without him next to her. It was a dreadful feeling but they would see each other the next day for their date. Alex, as usual, screamed at the news since she had been bothering Willa to go on a date with Harry for a month at that rate. Willa would also be lying if she said she didn't go to bed with a smile on her lips, thinking of the next days events.
