Once In a Lifetime

I change into some “comfortable” yoga pants and t shirt. I return to the living room but Harry isn’t there. I sit down on the couch to wait. Harry comes out of the kitchen with a grin on his face. “I made us popcorn!”
“It smells great, Harry! What movie are we going to watch?”
Harry sets the popcorn on the table and grabs the control. He sits so close to me on the couch that I gasp a little. Harry grins and says we can watch whatever I’d like. Is it possible that he knows what he does to me? Does he get pleasure out of teasing me?
Harry touches my knee, “Dee? What would you like to watch?”
I smile shyly realizing my mind was wandering again. “How about something scary? Like Scream?”
“Sure.” Harry says as he finds the movie on the guide to start it.
Every girl knows that scary movies are the perfect excuse to grab onto the guy you're watching it with. Of course I’ve seen this movie a million times and I don’t get scared by it. But H doesn’t know that.
Harry holds my hand during the first scene with Drew Barrymore. Halfway through the movie I am holding onto Harry’s arm and laying my head on his shoulder as he holds my hand. I could stay like this forever!
After the movie ends Harry asks, “Are you ok?”
I smile “Yes I’m fine.”
He gives me a big hug that lasts a little longer than I thought it would. As he pulls away he quietly says with a smile “Your hair smells great.” Then his expression changes as he looks in my eyes. “Goodnight Love.” I match his gaze, his eyes are truly mesmerizing. “Goodnight H.”
I feel a bit torn as I walk to my bedroom. Happy yet lonely at the same time.
