In The Crowd

"We are headed to one of my favorite spots." He smiled as he put his car in reverse.

"With all do respect Harry, you could be like some murderer or something." I joked.

He looked at me with confused eyes before he lunged forward. His eyes now level with mine.

"What kind of person do you think I am?" He bit down on his lip. I raked his appearance with my eyes.

"A hot one" Did I just say that aloud? I immediately looked away. His deep chuckle vibrated the frame of his Range Rover.

"Glad the feeling is mutual!" He managed to say as his laughter seemed to dial down a bit. All of the blood rushed to my cheeks.

"You're so cute when you blush!" He smiled at me and I smiled down at my lap.

The drive was quite. Not the weird and uncomfortable kind. But the settling kind. The kind of drives I used to take after-

"So, where you from?" He interjected

I was thankful for the interruption before I could let the sad thoughts flood the cities of my mind destroying ever happy house on every street.

"California. You?" Why did I ask that? I already know these things.

"Well, I was born in Redditch. But I grew up in Holmes Chapel."

"Did you enjoy it there?

"Yea. I guess so, my parents divorced when I was seven, so my dad wasn't really a part of my life. My sister Gemma and I were brought up by my mom. She eventually remarried." He opened up so easily.

"You seem so comfortable telling me these things."

"I'm- okay. I'm very comfortable around you."

"Well good."

We pulled up to an antique building. It was small yet elegant. I had wooden columns holding up a golden tinted roof. It had a brick pattern if strictly,copper, red, brown, gold. It was all the way around the building. The door was stained wood, accustomed with a little golden handle.

"This is beautiful, Harry!" I exclaimed as we walked through the tiny door frame.

"I know right. I come here just when I wanna clear my head," He walked over to one of the shelves titled Human Sexuality over the course of history."or when I wanna stock up on the development of Human Sexuality."

"Yea Harry, okay. Although, maybe that could be useful," I mocked grabbing the book from his abnormally large hands and flipping to the middle of the novel.

"Ha. ha." He said flipping his head back and forth in a playful manner.

We walked around that place for what I calculated to be hours. Harry stopped dead in his tracks as he picked up a book titled,Ferdinand the Bull. He cocked his head to the side, studying the book's every feature. His eyes were tinted pink. He smiled weakly, "My sister Gemma, she used to read this to me when my parents used to argue. So that I couldn't hear the force of the blows my dad sent crashing into my mom's face."

I approached him slowly. I placed my hand on the book softly, tugging it from his hand. I set it on the shelf again. I reached over, pulling his frame over to me. I tilted his head up to meet mine with my index and thumb pinching his chin softly."It's okay, love." I spoke softly pulling him into my embrace. He sobbed into the crook of my neck, pulling my waist to come crashing into his stomach. His stature was not an advantage for me. But, I couldn't bring myself to release him. He pulled back, looking into my blue lakes."Thank you. I know you must think I'm a loser." He joked.

"Of course not." he pulled my waist closer to him, looking into my eyes once again. His hands held firmly on me, he ducked his head down to meet my lips to his. His lips were so soft, delicate, angelic. Our lips moved in sync. Creating a melody from the moans and popping noises coming from our very heated embrace. He pulled away, hugging me one last time.

"I think I love you!" He joked.

Although I know he was joking I felt myself tense at his words. Love? I can't remember the last time a man had told me that. Then again, I can but I try not to. I tell myself it didn't happen so I can forget about it.

"Relax. I'm just joking." He punched my arm in a playful manner.

"I know. I just don't have the best experience with that syllable."

"You wanna talk about it?"He said sweetly.

"Nah, it's cool."

"Okay, but if you ever want to, i'm here, love."

Oh what that did to me. I lunged at him taking his face in between my petite hands. I kissed him with new confidence I had never possessed before. He reciprocated immediately. My favorite melody began to play. The melody I had just experienced a minute before. I could never get tired of that sound. Or the butterflies that had marked their territory on my stomach for the remaining time I had spent with Harry.

He pulled back, looking into my eyes, like he always did. A trait I found incredibly attractive. "You wanna get out of here?"

I smiled, "Absolutely."
