I Can't Help It
Chapter 7.
Me and Harry walked down the street, with his arm around me.
" Harry?" I asked.
" Yes love?"
" What if someone we know sees us?" I asked. He didnt answer for a while, until I felt him shrug.
" Don't worry about it."
With that, I relaxed into him a little more, feeling better. We turned into a park and sat down on a bench near a pond.
" Look at the momma duck and her line of babies." I pointed across the water. Harry chuckled and kissed my head. He kissed me. He actually kissed me. I cuddled into him as my head still tingled from the spot his lips met.
" Thank you." I said.
" For what?"
" Being here, with me."
He looked Down at me and didnt respond until I finally made eye contact with him.
" I'll always be here with you."
I bit my lip, blushing at his response as I broke away and looked back at the water.
" I like it when you bite your lip." He said.
" Why?" I giggled.
" It makes you look.." He trailed off.
" Makes me look what?" I asked.
" Sexy."
I laughed at his response, also shocked that he said that.
" Harry!" I playfully slapped him.
" You asked why." He said in defense.
" I didn't expect that at all." I said biting my lip again, this time on purpose.
" See! Stop it!" He chuckled. I released my lip and got comfy again.
" Well then I think your dimples are sexy." I smirked. He laughed out loud, causing him to smile and show his dimples.
" See!" I poked one.
" Alright, alright." He calmed down, still laughing a bit. I pulled out my phone and checked the time.
" I should probably start heading home." I said.
" Do you have a ride?" He asked. I nodded.
" Yeah my car is parked at Kelly's. "
" I'll walk back with you." Harry said. We got up and Made our way back to the Café.
I walked inside, feeling better than ever after that time with Harry. He made me feel a lot better. I set my bag down and changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt. My mom was still at work, today was her long shift. I sighed, going downstairs, melting into the couch. Maybe I'll watch movies all night. After all, it is Friday, and my mom won't be home until six in the morning. Yeah, she was a nurse. I ran to the kitchen getting popcorn and a blanket. I was going to watch Footloose first. That was my favorite. Then maybe Dear John. I don't know, we'll see when the time comes. I laid back, eating popcorn and watching the movie.
•••
I woke up, To the sound of someone banging on my door. What time is it? I checked my phone. 1:00. Man Im lame, I couldn't even stay up until one. I got up and wiped the popcorn crumbs off of me before heading towards the door and opening it. My heart almost stopped when I saw Sandy standing on my porch, with makeup running down her face. She was dressed in a party dress. She was probably drunk.
" Sandy what's wrong?" I asked.
" I-Im so sorry. I should have believed you." She said between sobs.
" What happened?" I asked. She wiped at her face. She wasnt drunk.
" I walked in on him with another girl." She cried.
" And?" I asked.
" I ended it. I'm so sorry it took this long. I just didnt want to believe it when I heard about him trying to get in you. But now I realized you were right. I knew you would never lie to me. And all those things you said we're correct. I'm so sorry please forgive me." She cried even harder now. I didn't know what to do.
" San, of course I'll forgive you!" I walked to her, and hugged her. She hugged me back and cried into me.
" Now let's go get you cleaned up." I said leading her inside and up the stairs. She took off her dress and put on some of my sweat pants and shirts and washed her face full of makeup and tears.
" I thought I'd never have you back." I said to her as we went downstairs.
" I know. This long week without you really proves how much I need you in my life." Sandy said, feeling better.
" I know. Now let's go have a movie night like we used to."
" Can I make new popcorn?" She asked, pointing towards my bowl of old popcorn. I laughed.
" Yeah, help yourself." I said. She got up and made a huge bowl of popcorn as we cuddled into the blanket together, watching chick flicks.
" Harry?" I asked.
" Yes love?"
" What if someone we know sees us?" I asked. He didnt answer for a while, until I felt him shrug.
" Don't worry about it."
With that, I relaxed into him a little more, feeling better. We turned into a park and sat down on a bench near a pond.
