In Between

CHAPTER FOUR

*Harry's POV*

I can't believe I chickened out from telling her earlier. I have to tell her. I just don't want to ruin our friendship if she don't feel the same. I don't think she does because look, she has a boyfriend. I'll go over sometime tomorrow and talk to her. I have to do this or I could lose her forever.

*Shelby's POV*

I had woken up to my face being licked by my dog. "Hi Missy!" I yelled playfully and she cuddled me. Missy is a Akita. She is playful when you get her wound up. I love this dog to death. After a little bit, I started messing with her so she'd start playing. My door was closed so she had no where to go but my room and my bathroom. I'm on my hands and knees playing with her when my door opened. "Looks like you're going to be in a good mood today." Harry smiled at me. "Yes. I. Am." I paused after every word to make it clear. He laughed and I joined in. "So, what are you doing today?" he sat up against my wall while I sit played with Missy. "Uhhh going out tonight with Chris. Why?" I continued my actions.

*Harry's POV*

Of course she'd be going out tonight with Chris. It's a Saturday. I bet they do every week. I'm real jealous of Chris. I mean, he has the girl I've wanted for years.

For a bit I sat watching her and Missy play. Then I joined in. Shelby and I on either side of her on our hands and knees. I miss the days where we would play with her all day. After maybe a half hour, Missy got tired as well as us. We both laid down on the floor with heavy breaths laughing here and there. "I missed you, Harry." all of a sudden she said. I turned on my side to look at her, she did the same. "I missed you, too." I smiled at her and she returned one.
