I Can't Help It
Chapter 42.
I whipped my head to Harry then to Andy and Erica.
" Maria just needs help finding a tutor for her last exam she'll ever take, so I was helping her." He smiled. I nodded, going along with that. Erica nodded.
" Oh. Well it's nice seeing you two. Bye." She said.
" Bye." Me and Harry said in unison.
" That was close." He whispered as Andy and Erica turned and walked away. I sighed.
" Too close."
Harry sipped his tea. I checked the time.
" Oh. Harry, I better get going. I have to get ready for tonight's dinner." I smiled. He nodded.
" Okay. I'll pick you up at 7:00?"
"yes." I smiled.
" Goodbye Maria." He grinned.
" See ya."
I couldn't say I love you or anything because Andy and Erica were still in the cafe. I was about to turn and walk away when he stopped me.
" Wait, Maria."
" Yeah?" I asked turning around.
" What were you going to tell me?" He asked. Uh oh.
" Nothing. It can wait. Bye Mr. styles."
He looked unsure if he should believe me or not.
" Bye Ms. Summers."
I then I left Kelly's and went home.

I sat in the chair to my vanity thinking about Manchester. How I still hadn't told him. It was going to come out sooner or later. there was about one month of the school year left and I was out of here.
there were two knocks on my door.
" Come in!" I yelled.
My mom walked in.
" Oh, why don't you look pretty?" She smiled. I grinned.
" Yeah."
" What are you doing tonight that has you all dolled up?"
" Sandy is taking me out for dinner, then I'm staying the night at her house." I said. My mom nodded.
" Sounds fun. Well, I'm leaving for work now. Be home at six in the morning." She smiled.
" Bye mom." I laughed. She left, shutting the door. I got out my curling wand, heating that up after I finished my makeup. I had on jeans, a long sleeved sweater, with a cardigan.
I began wrapping my hair around the wand, making it wavey. I didn't want it too curly.
i finally finished my hair and slipped on my heels.
" Don't you look beautiful." I jumped to the sound of my boyfriends voice standing in my doorway.
" Harry! How'd you get in?" I asked surprised.
" The key under your mat." He leaned against the frame. I walked towards him and wrapped him in my arms. He did the same. He kissed my head and chuckled.
" What?" I asked.
" Even with heels on, your still short compared to me."
" Oh whatever." I laughed comparing our heights. He was right. I unraveled myself from him and walked across my room to my vanity. I took some lip gloss and applied it as he walked further into my room.
I rubbed my lips together and watched him through my mirror as he looked confused by something on my desk.
" What's this?" He asked picking up an envelope. It took me a matter of seconds to drop the lip gloss tube, turn around and face him as I realized he had seen the letter.
" It's nothing." I rushed over to him, trying to snatch it from him but he just turned away, reading. I stood there, waiting for his reaction.
" When were you going to tell me?" He asked quietly, turning around. I sighed.
" Today."
" Is that what you were going to tell me in Kelly's?"
I nodded. He sighed, closing his eyelids.
" I don't know how to react." He whispered.
" I wouldn't expect you to." I choked back my tears.
" I mean, I'm happy for you!" He raised his voice as he slammed the envelope back on my desk, turning around and walking towards the doorway.
" Harry I didn't want you to find out like this."
" How long have you known?"
I gulped.
" About a week or two."
" oh my gosh!" He yelled walking down the hall. My heels clattered as I chased him.
" Stop Harry!"
" Why?" He whipped around. He backed me up to a wall and suddenly I was scared.
" Why shouldn't I just leave? Beat you to it?"
" Because I love you." I started crying. There goes my makeup.
he sighed.
" I love you too. And I don't want to loose you." He whispered, wiping hair from my face.
" You won't loose me."
" promise?"
I nodded.
"of course. I promise."
He back away, taking my hand in his.
" Now let's go enjoy a dinner with my family, and pretend this didn't happen."
" Maria just needs help finding a tutor for her last exam she'll ever take, so I was helping her." He smiled. I nodded, going along with that. Erica nodded.
" Oh. Well it's nice seeing you two. Bye." She said.
" Bye." Me and Harry said in unison.
