A/N: Sorry for the long wait. My internet broke down for a while so I couldn't update. Anyway, here are 2 more chapters. Thanks again for the reviews, they make me feel good.

Chapter 9

I sat down on a stone by the pond, looking at the fish swimming there. I could hear the footsteps of George coming up behind me. I turned around and looked at him just as he stopped in front of where I was sitting.

George's looked a little worried and ran a hand through his hair before speaking.

"I'm sorry if it felt weird for you when I told everybody in there about what happened to you." He sighed.

I looked at him in silence for a while. It had felt weird when he told them, but at the same time, I was overwhelmed by how much this family seemed to care about someone like myself.

"It's ok George. Don't worry!" I said and gave him a little smirk.

He smiled and sat down in front of me on the grass and I could not help but feel how my heartbeat began to beat faster at the way he looked smiling at me like that.

We sat there in silence just looking at each other for a few minutes.

I smirked once again and noticed a slight pink shade move over his cheeks.

This made me feel a lot more confident.

"Why are you blushing if I may ask?!" I said in a low voice and with yet another smirk over my lips.

Now his cheeks were becoming more red than pink and he looked at the ground and then up at me.

I could tell he was slightly nervous.

"Well, I like it when you smirk like that, you're very handsome when you do that." He said in almost a whisper.

I felt my heart swell and yet more confident spread over me.

I gave him a huge, genuine smile and reached down, putting my hand on his shoulder, looking straight into his blue eyes.

"Thank you George, may I say I find you very handsome too?"

At these words his eyes flickered from my eyes, to the ground, to my mouth and then back to my eyes.

"Are you being serious?" he asked with a hint of hope in his voice.

I just nodded with my hand still on his shoulder.

Yet again we found ourselves sitting gazing into each others eyes in silence for a moment.

Then without thinking I leaned in and placed my lips gently on his.

It was over in two seconds and I looked into his eyes and could see confusion as well as happiness in them.

"I'm sorry..." I said and let him go, standing up.

He quickly stood up in front of me, looking me straight in the eyes.

"You don't have to apologise." He said and let his hand stroke me lightly over my cheek.

It felt like fire had touched me just then, but in a good way.

The moment was interrupted as Molly once again called from the kitchen that it was time for tea.

We both sighed a little and walked inside, without touching each other.
