CHAPTER 5 – "And thousands upon thousands made an ocean…"
Harry actually enjoyed my organic chemistry class, but I knew that he would. Why wouldn't he when my professor was talking about breast implants, flashing images of breasts on the big screen and playing corny chemistry songs. He kept turning to me and giving me that look like 'I can't believe you actually learn about this stuff?', and every time he did, my heart would melt just a little more. After the class, I introduced him to my friends that I usually sit with in this class. I didn't get a chance to do this before the class, since we managed to walk in late and decided just to slip in the back.
Sitting in the back was not such a good idea. When my professor wasn't talking about implants, and was actually explaining things important for the midterm tomorrow, Harry couldn't resist touching me, which yet again, distracted me. If I wasn't sitting in a room filled with 200 other students, I would have jumped his bones, right there and then. Somehow I managed to get through the lecture with minimal groping and not drawing too much attention to myself. As we walked out of the class, my friends were waiting for me, giggling like little schoolgirls. I wasn't so sure about introducing Harry to them.
No one really knew about Harry and me, except Sapna, one of my really good friends. They all made fun of my liking of McFly, telling me how absurd it was to like a 'boyband'. They had caught me looking at their website a few times, and not wanting to tell them about my 'thing' with Harry, I lied. I told them I was looking at the band things; the gossip and such. But really, I was looking at glimpses of him. Being without him, I had resorted to stealing glimpses of him from the internet. It kept me sane, reminding me why I suffered so much.
It was hard sometimes, because I would read some things that I wish I hadn't. I read things about him sleeping with tons of girls all over England, about him being gay with each and every member of his band, and what other fans thought of him, which wasn't always nice. But I had to grin and bear it. It was hardest to hear about the other women, but like I said before, it was part of our deal, no questions asked. Just because I didn't have time for other boys, didn't mean that he had to abstain from other women, no matter how much, deep down inside, I wanted him to.
So as we walked up to my group of friends, I started to get very nervous. They were all busy in their own conversation, not even noticing when we walked up behind them. Sapna was the first to look our way and right away she had that look in her eyes, knowing who this guy was standing beside me.
"Harry, this is Sapna. Sapna, Harry" I introduced them to one another. They shook hands, exchanging pleasantries.
Sapna didn't need me to introduce Harry to her; she knew exactly who he was. Like I mentioned earlier, she was the only one I confided in about my situation with him. She was my shoulder to lean on when I just didn't know why I put myself through such heartache and I began to doubt my decision to live this way. She was a hopeless romantic, and I loved her for that. She gave me hope in this jaded world, and her optimism and belief in true love made me want to have that. Made me want to be happy. Harry really had a lot to thank Sapna for, for she was the one that convinced me to stick it out with him, to get through the rough patch when I had decided to end it and just hope for the best. So that's what I did, and now having him here with me, cemented my feelings for him and made me thankful for having Sapna around.
"Hey guys. Ann, Hazel, this is Harry. Harry, Ann and Hazel" I introduced the remaining two. They looked up and a slight look of shock crossed their faces. They recognized him, and it felt a little good to finally shut them up after all their teasing. I knew that they didn't really mean it, but having them tease me when he wasn't around, was like kicking me when I was down.
"Nice to finally meet you Harry" Ann spoke with a slight laugh.
"Finally? Oh, do you talk about me when I'm not around? Does my reputation precede me?" Harry asked me in a mocking, shocked tone of voice.
"Maybe, a little. I may have mentioned you once or twice" I replied coolly as I could feel the heat rise again to my face. Why did I blush so easily? Definitely a curse.
"Aw, did I embarrass you? I'm sorry…" he whispered while he discreetly reached for my hand and clasped it loosely giving it a slight squeeze, he then bent down and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. He knew how I felt about displays of affection and he respected that, but I can't say I didn't relish in the thought of showing off this gorgeous guy to the world. My face began to burn up, making me blush even more. Why was he able to do this to me so easily? I needed to learn to control myself around him. I heard him laughing quietly under his breath as he noticed my face going a deeper and deeper shade of red by the second. I quickly cleared my throat and thank God for Sapna noticing, as she quickly changed the subject.
"So, how long are you here for Harry?" she asked.
"Two weeks. I flew in yesterday" he answered with ease.
"So, what are you doing now? We still on for that study session later on?" Ann asked, not realizing the awkward situation she was putting me in. I had forgotten that I had made plans with them earlier in the week, forgetting everything when Harry came to town. I only had him for the next two weeks, and they would always be around. They would understand wouldn't they? There was an awkward silence and I quickly decided that I had to be honest with them.
"I'm so sorry, but I completely forgot. Harry just came into town and… I forgot. I'm really sorry guys" I explained, hanging my head, hating that I had turned into the typical girl; dropping her plans with friends for a boy.
"Don't worry, we completely understand" Sapna chimed in. But then Harry cut in, catching me slightly off guard.
"No don't cancel on my account. I can keep myself occupied while you go and become the genius that I know you are" he said in a very posh British accent. Oh that accent, it drove me wild.
"Ha, genius, hardly. But are you sure" I asked him quietly, pulling him away from my group of friends, wanting to make sure he was ok with it.
"Of course, plus how long can it last? Two, maybe three hours? That way I can explore around this city a little more" he explained as he inched closer to me. Happiness filled my body as I realized just how lucky I was. He came all this way to see me, and now that he was here, he wanted to be part of MY life, not changing my life to fit HIM.
"What did I do to deserve you?" I asked, allowing for a little display of affection as I put my arms around his waist.
"I don't know, but I do know what you're GOING to be doing to reward me for being such a great guy" he said with a sexy grin on his face.
"Oh, I think I have something in mind" I replied as the tension between us grew. At that moment I just wanted to jump him and have my way with him. It took all my strength and will not to grab onto him at that moment. But I managed to control myself, somehow, and I just jumped up slightly, giving him a quick kiss on the lips before turning back to my group of friends.
"Alright ladies, we have 2 hours. Then I'm afraid I shall have to leave you. Plus The Office is on tonight, we knew I would have to leave you for that" I stated, giggling slightly, knowing that they also teased me for my Office obsession.
"How could we possibly forget? Alright, it was nice meeting you Harry. Hope to see you soon" Ann said as they started to make their way to the library. The two other girls chorused a good bye as well as they began to walk off, and I turned to him quickly.
"Ok I'll see you in about 2 hours. Thanks again" I told him.
"Anytime" he replied leaning in towards me. Gently cupping my face in his hands, he kissed me softly, lingering slightly before pulling away with a smile on his lips.
"Now, don't go getting lost on me Judd. The Steel City can be a scary place" I warned him as he started walk away.
"I promise nothing" he yelled back to me. I watched him walk away, until he was out of view. I felt a small pang in my heart as he disappeared from my sight. I let out a small sigh and then turned quickly on my heels and caught up with my friends.
AGAIN, REVIEWS ARE VERY WELCOME.
