Harry’s POV.

She was sitting at my kitchen table in the home I grew up in. She was beautiful and I know it was soon and I know I barely knew this girl. But I was going to fall in love with her. And she was going to fall in love with me.

“Where’s your family?” She asked me as I made chicken salad sandwiches for us.

“My Mum and stepdad are on an anniversary trip and my sister is in London.” I explained.

“Hello? Hey El!” her voice spoke into her phone to Eleanor. “No we are okay…yeah…It’s a long story. We will be back later on. I’ll text you. Bye” she hung up the phone.

“Here’s your sandwich love.” I said as I pulled my seat next to hers.

“Thanks.” She sat and we ate in silence.


Marley’s POV.

There were so many questions I had for Harry now. Where did this leave us? Where did that kiss leave us? Because it left me speechless and hungry obviously as I sit here stuffing my face. What if he didn’t want me like that? What if it all just happened one time? I hope not cause I just want to kiss his face over and over again.

“What’s on your mind?” he asked me. Fuck he knows I’m thinking. I’m making those thinking eyes again.

“Not much, why?” I said. Nice MJ, be cool.

“You’re making those thinking eyes again where your forehead wrinkles.” I told you.

“What happens now?” I asked him afraid to make eye contact?

“Whatd you mean?” he seemed confused.

“I mean. Like. With us. What happened on the hill, was that a one time thing or....not? I just don’t know if I should be prepared to catch myself when I start falling for you or not.”The words came out of my mouth and I couldn’t stop them. God how I wish I could though.

“Is that what you think? That I’m just going to chew you up and spit you out?” he asked almost slightly insulted.

“I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking.” I informed now backing down a bit.

He got up from his seat and walked out of the kitchen not saying a word to me. And all that happened was that I felt was the heart sinking feeling in my stomach. I cared about Harry a lot. I really did.

I moved to the couch when I heard ruckus from the next room and a loud “Damnit” If I’m being honest, Harry cussing was sexy as hell. I got up from the couch and went to the next room to see him scrimmaging through multiple boxes.

“Are you looking for something?” I asked him as I stood in the doorway.

“Yes…FOUND IT.” He said with a dark brown frame in his hand.

“Found what?” I asked.

“This is a picture of me when I was probably 11 years old. In the peak of my awkwardness, the only person other than me who has seen this school photo is My Mum. “ He handed me the frame and I saw a boy with gaped teeth and face covered in acne and skinny glasses. A face of shame a face he didn’t want anyone to see.

“Why are you showing me this?” I asked him.

“Because I wouldn’t show just anyone this.You’re different. You’re special and I’m not going to not stick around and find out where this could go.” He said causing my cheeks to heat up.

“Can you just connect the space between us now and kiss me again please?” I practically begged of him.

He walked towards me and grabbed the photo from my hands and set it down on the box next to me. His right arm pulled me in to where our bodies were touching and it made me so nervous. He grabbed my arms and wrapped them around his neck so I was now holding him. His right hand was on my hip his other on my cheek. Our lips meant again and this time it was even better than the first time.

“Where have you been hiding MJ? I’ve been looking for you.” He said as he pulled away from my face.

“I guess I just needed someone to find me.” I said as I tried to catch my breath.

“Glad it was me.” He said.

“Me too.” I looked up at him.

We heard the front door of the house open and a bag drop.

“Harry? Is that you?” a females voice came from the front of the house.

“Gemma? What are you doing here?” He asked as he walked out of the room towards her voice.

“Me? I’m here to feed the cat. I wish you had told me you were coming so I didn’t have to come all the way out here. “ She said as she hugged her brother.

“Gemma, you remember MJ? You met briefly at the welcome home at Jo’s” he told his sister.

“Right, the American. Hi MJ, how are you?” she asked me.

“I’m well, thanks! Sorry you had to make this drive!” I told her as Harry came to my side and held me hand.

“not a problem, I had some errands to run here anyway.” She said almost rudely as she stared at our hands causing me to be uncomfortable.

“Harry, can I talk to you for a quick sec in the other room?” she asked him. And I knew that she was going to take him to that room to talk about me and I did not like that.

“Sure Gem.” He said before kissing my cheek and following his sister into the kitchen.
