-Sammie

So, after Harry told me about his mom, I packed and we made it on time to board the flight.

I went to sleep almost ten minutes after getting on the plane due to Harry acting like a child and ordering everything from the plane menu, then turning around and complaining about it.

When we arrived to the port Harry discovered that his mom was not there to pick us up, which meant we would have to buy a rental car, and neither of us planned that out.

We are sitting here waiting for the paperwork to follow through for the car bickering about who is going to pay the seven hundred dollar fee.

“Harry, you are paying it. You wanted me to come, I’m not doing it!”

“Sam! Just pay half of it, I mean something!”

“It’s not gonna happen, we might as well catch a bus or walk our happy asses to your moms.”

“Sam, she doesn’t live close and you heard the man! The next bus doesn’t come around for another three hours.”

“Well I guess we’ll just be staying at the hotel!”

Harry rolls his neck in a counterclockwise motion groaning at my stubbornness.

“Alright. Look I’ll pay it. I do not feel like sitting around here all day, and now we can go sightseeing with the stupid fucking rental car.”

“Great! Took you long enough.” I laugh.

Harry walks over to the counter to pay the beer-bellied man. Harry hands him the cash and suddenly if feel bad, it is a lot of money. Sighing, I pull my wallet out of my side purse and pull a bunch of twenties out. Getting over myself I walk over to the desk.

“Harry. Here. Take it.”

Harry looks down at me and smiles.

He takes the money from me, “Thanks.”

Leaning down to me before I walk away, he grabs my wrist, turning me back towards him.
Harry places a sweet, warm kiss on my cheek.

My eyes grow wide, and I start blushing like mad. I mean what the hell Harry! I’m still supposed to be slightly mad at him and then we are just friends. ‘Oh!’ I say mentally, it was probably just a friendly kiss. Right?

Pushing that to the side I sit back down and close my eyes after hearing our rental was being cleaned out and we would have to wait about twenty minutes.

When I wake up I’m sitting in the front seat of a really nice car and Harry is driving.

“Did you carry me to the car?” I ask Harry, he could have woken me up, I mean really.

“Yeah, you were out of it. Oh! We are almost there.”

“Thanks.”

Out the window I see more cars, beautiful buildings and people. It’s dark out now, and unrealistically gorgeous.

“Alright Sam. Come on we’re here. My mom texted me and said she had to go into the office and find some files she thought she brought home.”

I nod getting out of the car, “She couldn’t have done it tomorrow?”

“No, she said her deadline is in the morning and she was going to finish it tonight.”

I nod understandingly. We get to the door and Harry tries to turn the handle but nothing happens.

“Try harder.” I try to encourage him.

“What the hell Sam! You can’t try to open a door harder. Who says that?”

“Oh my gosh Harry! People that are trying to help do!”

“Well talking isn’t helping.”

“Just text your mom and see if there is a spare key.”

He pulls his phone and starts texting.

“Are you happy now?”

“Yes very.”

Harry’s phone goes off, “She said she hasn’t had a spare key since I moved out. – and that we will have to wait to she comes back, which could be an hour with the late night traffic.”

Groaning I turn and start walking towards the car.

“Wait! Sam, come on, we can just jump the fence and hang out in the back yard.”

“No Harry! What if I break my ankle or something?”

He laughs loudly, “Sam! You won’t- I can’t believe you just said that.” He laughs again and starts walking around to the side of the house, “I won’t let you fall.”

Huffing, I catch up to him and walk past him. He can still hear him laughing at me.

“Are you done?”

“Sorry, yeah, come on, we can get over right here.”

He binds down to give me a lift up.

“Harry, what if there is something on that side of the fence?”

“The worst it could be is a bush, the dogs are inside dogs and the pool is on the other side of the yard. Now come on. We haven’t all day love.”

I take a deep breath and hoist my-self up with the help of Harry. With a shake of the fence I fall on the opposite side and hear Harry question if I’m alright.

I can’t answer him though because I’m enveloped in water. I never hit the bottom, so I assume it’s the deep end of the pool that Harry had “claimed” was on the other side of the yard.

As I swim to the surface of the pool I feel the water move harshly and a splash sound has been made.

That retard is all I can possibly think at the moment. I tred the water waiting for Harry. He comes up with his wet curls pushed back, breathing in a large breath of air.

“Sammie!” He quickly swims to me and wraps his arms around me, “You never answered me! I thought something was wrong!”

I push him away, “What the hell Harry! You said this pool was over there!” I point to the opposite end of the yard.

“I’m sorry, though I could have sworn this pool was over there. Hmm, she must have moved it.”

I extend my arm and slap his shoulder, “This is a permanent pool Harry! What the flying fuck! You can’t move these.”

“Well, my bad.”

I roll my eyes and swim to the side of the pool so I can get out.

“Now what Harry?”

“Well, I guess we can just sit in the lawn chairs to she comes home.”

Nodding I walk to the lawn chairs and see that two of the three are broken. I guess Harry saw it too cause he quickly jumped in the only chair that wasn’t broken.

I gasp at his childish moves, but he moves over so there is enough room for another small person to fit.

He pats the area, “Come on.”

Wet, cold, and sleepy I nod and lie down next to him. Harry throws his arm over my stomach.

“Harr-“ I start.

“What? Just getting comfortable.” He places his chin on the top of my head and hums to him-self.

“Do you sing?”

“Eh, just a tad.”

“Will you sing me something? Please?”

“Um, I mean, I-I guess.” Harry clears his throat and starts singing one of the prettiest things I’ve ever heard.

“I promised one day that I'd bring you back a star

I caught one and it burned a hole in my hand, oh

Seems like these days I watch you from afar

Just trying to make you understand

I'll keep my eyes wide open, yeah

Don't let me

Don't let me

Don't let me go.”

When he finishes my eyes are demanding to be closed. Giving in to my bodies wish I close them and snuggle into Harry.

Being shooken awake is not the ideal way to wake up, but hey it will do. I’m am basically lying on top of Harry at this point with our legs intertwined.

Anne is standing above us, “Sorry I got back so late! I saw you two out here an-and, are you two wet?”

Groaning I shake Harry awake and start untangling our limbs from one another.

“Um, Anne, I would love to tell you over a warm cup of tea. If we can.”

“Oh yes! Come on you two, I don’t need my babies to get sick!”

We follow her inside and sit around the kitchens island. Anne starts a pot of tea on the stove.

“Sam! I’m really glad you could take off of work to visit! Harry told me you wouldn’t be able to make it up.”

I coughed for a moment, “Oh, um, yea, the boss let me have a few days off if I worked next weekend.”

From the corner of my eye I can see Harry let out a breath of air.

“Well, that was nice of him.”

“It was, but enough of that. I’m glad you’re feeling better!”

Anne turns around and looks at me questioningly, “What do you mean? I’m fine.”

I furrow my brows in confusion, “Harry said you couldn’t hang out with us at the race tracks because you were sick.”

“No, I was never sick honey.”

I turn my head and look at a wide eyed sitting Harry, who moments ago looked like he could fall asleep in a tornado now looks as if he has seen a ghost.

His eyes trail to me and he smiles as I squint my eyes understanding that I just caught Harry in his own white lie.
