Handcuffed to a Flirt ( 1D Harry Styles)

Ch. 18 Perfect 2nd Date

Was something wrong? God, I hope not. I would really hate to disappoint her.

"Do you like it?" I whisper. My confidence is practically on the floor and I feel the nerves inside me creep out.

"Do I like it? Harry I...." She trailed off. I felt my face slowly drop.

So she didn't like it? Man, I didn't want to make a move on her or anything like that. I just wanted to take her on a normal date. One where we go have fun then I take her home, kiss her on the cheek and leave. Only this time, I would kiss her goodnight, being that we're still cuffed.

"It's okay.... If theres something else you would rather do its alright" I mumble. Honestly, I felt a bit disappointed that she didn't like it. Oh well.....

"What are you talking about! I love it Harry!" she squealed and hugged me. I was shocked at first then quickly hugged her back. I let out a breathe I hadn't realize I was holding. I pulled back and smiled at her. She smiled back at me, that warm smile that reached her eyes. It was so adorable.

I pulled her to the picnic and we sat down to start eating. She chatted easily as friends would. She was really easy to talk to. She asked me about X Factor and what I thought of the boys when I first met them. I blabbered on about how amazing it is going on tour and not once did she seem bored or annoyed. She just sat there staring deep into my eyes, listening intensely as if this was the best conversation in the world.

She told me that she studying to be a writer and how she would love to publish her own book someday. She also told me how she met Annebelle and Carter and how they've been beasties ever since. She told me how her mother has ignored her ever since her father passed away but didn't seem to sad about, according to her; her mother was a total snob and preferred being away from her.

I gave her my full attention, loving how she expresses herself. We kept on chatting up until sunset which is when the movie is said to play.

I grabbed her hand as the movie rolled and she rested her head on my shoulder. I didn't think it was possible to have this much fun with a girl just by hanging out. She really is special.

------------

When the movie finished, it was a quarter to ten. We packed everything and headed back to her apartment. The car ride was nice too, there was a comfortable silence between us. Not once during the whole date did she let go of my hand. I smiled to myself because I'm still holding her hand.

We tiptoed inside the apartment not wanting to wake up Carter. We didn't really worry about Annebelle since she lived with her BF now. We crossed the dark living room quietly and were about to enter the hallway that led her room when a light flickered in the living room.

"You guys are back late" I voice said sternly. That could only be Carter. Why did I have a bad feeling about this. He seemed like such a nice guy but something seemd off and I can't place my finger on it.

"Oh. Hey Carter, we didn't know you were still awake" Melody said to him. She smiled a nice, soft smile but he only frowned. What's his problem?

"Yeah, I'm alone in the house now so yeah I'm awake" he snapped at her. I took a step forward to him, he didn't have a right to talk to Melody like that!

"I'm sorry Carter, I forgot that Annebelle had moved out today. I didn't mean to leave you all alone but you know I had stuff to do" she winked at him and jingled our cuffs slightly to him. I seemed to have frowned even more as he stared at our handcuffs and at our hands.

"Oh yeah! Stuff like what? Eat his face off" He yelled pointing at me. I felt Melody stiffen and I glared at him. Why is he so upset that she was out with me?

"What's your problem Carter? I know I left you alone and all but you could have gone out or something..." she trailed off. She had a small guily face on. Why though, she shouldn't feel guilty. And he shouldn't be mad because I took Melody out!

"You won't understand my problem" And with that, he stormed off to his room and slamming the door shut. I looked back at Melody who had a single tear drop falling from her beautiful face. I quickly wiped it away with my free hand and lingered my had for a while.

"Don't worry, tomorrow he'll be fine" I tried my best to comfort her. She smiled a weak smile at me and then turned to go to her room. I followed along.

Inside her room, she pulled me to the bed ans sat on the edge. She stared at me for a while with her big, gray eyes that made the rest of the world just disappear. I don't know how we sat like that until she finally spoke. 

"Harry, why'd you do all this today?" She asked. Her face seemed a bit sad and i don't understand why.

"Becasue I wanted to take you out again." I smile at her a soft smile. She brightened up a bit. Why else would I take her out again. Who wouldn't want to take an angel like her out again.

"Why'd you ask" I asked her. We ahd such a nice time today and Carter screwed all up for her. Why though? 

"I just thought...Nevermind" She whispered, her cheeks turning a light crismon. I smiled at her, grabbing both of her hands but let the subject drop. Whatever she thought about me before, i knew had changed today just like whatever I saw planning about her had changed.

Completely changed.

I pulled her to the bed and layed her next to me. I knew the game had chenged with me. It wasn't a game anymore just to hook with her, it was actual liking maybe even loving.

"Thank you frotoday. I had a lot of fun." She whispered to me. I hadn't notice she was so close to my face. I could feel her warm breathe on me. I smiled, showing off my dimples.

"Me too" I whispered back. I didn't trust my voice, not under the circumstances that we wre in with her being so close to me.... I couldn't help myself, I knew I shouldn't not yet anyways but she was so close and it just seemed right.

Before I could stop myself, I pulled her closer and crashed my lips with hers. At first she was surprised becuase I had caught her off guard but she shrugged it off imediatly and kissed back. It started out as a soft, nice kiss. Her free hand made its way to my neck and she pulled my impossiblely closer. I licked her bottom lip for entrance. She parted her lips, deeping the kiss. I made my way down her to her neck, leaving a trail of kisses. I kissed her neck hungryly, loving the feel of her skin. I heard her moan softly as a made my way back to her mouth.

I kissed her again, this one full of passion. I knew if i didn't stop this soon it would be over. I could feel myself getting hot already. I didn't want to, not yet anyways. I pulled out of the kiss, both of us breatheless. She looked at me confused and disappointed.

"You don't want me, do you?" She asked, her face looked so disappointed it hurt. My face fell, of course I wanted her! I 've wanted her since the moment i met her but now it seems different. I don't want it to happen like this.

"I do but not like this, I want it to be special" I told her honestly. I did, i don't know if it was her first time or not but I still wanted it to be special for her. She smiled at me and pecked me on the lips softly.

"Okay" She whispered and then snuggled in closer to my chest. I layed there next to her shocked. She is just amazing in every way possible that I can't even begin to describe the strong feeling I've developed for her. With her in my chest, I fell asleep.
