Once In a Lifetime

“Harry your friend’s apartment is amazing!”
“It is, innit?” “I’m so glad we get to stay here rather than a hotel. It’s so much more cozy.” Harry winked.
That wink just caused my heart to skip a beat.
“Dee?”
“Hello?”
“Oh I’m sorry H, what?” I say.
“Did I lose you there for a second?” Harry said quietly, a slight look of concern on his face.
“No no, I’m fine.” I assured him.
“Good.” He smiled. “I was just saying why don’t you go ahead and pick which bedroom you’d like to stay in.”
“I’m sure either one would be fine.” I said, still trying to focus. But focusing was impossible as a large, gorgeous smile came across Harry’s face.
“I think you’ll like the one with the beautiful view.” “Come on I’ll show you.” He says.
And then it happened, Harry grabbed my hand to lead me to the bedroom. He’d never held my hand before. Sure he’d put his arm around me before, touched the small of my back to lead me somewhere, but he’d never held my hand. The shock of electricity that shot through us was almost paralyzing. And I know he felt it too by the look on his face. I think we both stopped breathing for those couple seconds. Then a satisfied smile crept on his face as he lead me to the room. Did that satisfied look mean that he was happy that I obviously felt that spark too?
