The Spring Semester [On Hold Indefinitely]
We're good, right?
Harry's POV.
After Dani left yesterday, Scott started drilling me for details. I didn't feel like I should tell him so instead I excused myself to my room. I sat for a few minutes at the edge of my bed remembering when she drunkenly kissed me on it. Then just yesterday a couple feet away we kissed again. Ever since our first kiss I was craving her mouth daily. It wasn't easy to see her and not be able to kiss her again.
Yesterday, though, I couldn't take it any longer. She was making my heart melt with every gasp and tiny jump she made. Poor thing was so terrified of the thunder. It thrilled me when I grew the courage to kiss her and even more when she kissed me back. I'm still pissed Scott ruined it by getting home early. Maybe I'd get to taste her longer if it wasn't for him.
Since Dani didn't seem to mind the kiss and actually kissed me back I assumed we were moving forward on to something more than a friendship. When she asked if I wanted to join her at Bagel Brothers, I couldn't resist the invite. Maybe there she will tell me that she likes me, too.
"Harry, I think you and I should have a talk about...about yesterday." she blurted out, I wasn't quite ready yet. Her expression worried me. She was serious and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"Ok. What do you want to talk about?" I ask hoping she tells me what I want to hear.
"Well, first.. I'm sorry I kissed you." Sorry? Why was she apologizing for the most incredible kiss I've ever had? "Secondly, I think we should forget about it and never let it happen again. We're friends and friends don't do that."
Her words sharp like a knife stabbed through my heart. She wants to forget it like it was something without significance. My sunny disposition suddenly turned gray with her words. I was so sure she was feeling the same way about me but now she's shutting me away. I can't believe this!
"Okay." is all I manage to get out, my throat felt dry and my fingers have turned icy cold. She sits there probably waiting for a reaction but I have none. She just crushed me and the hope of ever being an "us".
I get up from the table and she looks at me confused but I needed to get away.
"I, uh, have to go.. Scott needs a ride somewhere." I relay my lame excuse to get out of there.
"Ok, well I'll see you tomorrow." she responds and I'm not sure if she even cares if my excuse is real. I grab my things and head out onto the sidewalk leading to the university's library. I needed a quiet place to process this rejection. Right before entering the library I get a text.
Dani: We're good, right?
I can't respond. I'm such a fool, I just fucked everything up. I shouldn't have kissed her.

Notes
Oh, Harold, everything will be ok.
What does everyone think will happen next? Will Harry really give Lauren a chance now?!?
