Chapter 9

-          “Uhm” she murmured and looked around.

They were standing on a side street in inner London. On one side there were apartments and on the other side there were this great gate leading in to the garden of a library.

She ran to the gate and looked into the garden. She looked at Harry who stared at her with a big smile and then looked at the garden again.

She began to climb over the gate.

-          “What the hell are you doing?” Harry laughed and ran towards her. He tried to grab her leg but couldn’t reach it.

-          “Come on” she smiled and jumped to the ground.

-          “You are crazy woman” Harry said and followed her.

She ran out on the grass and began to twirl with her arms out. She fell on the grass and began to laugh.

-          “I think you had a bit too much to drink” He laughed.

Harry walked over to her and lay down beside her. He held his hands in the back of his head and looked up at the stars while he sighed.

-          “Thank you for taking me out tonight” Bea said and squeezed her eyes together.

-          “No problem” he murmured while turning his face toward her.

He laid his hands on his stomach. She turned her head toward the grass and began pull the grass.

He looked down at her hand and said: “How come you just jumped on a plane to see Louis? How did your boyfriend feel about that?”

She stopped playing with the grass and looked at him.

-          “Worst pick up line ever.” She laughed “But I missed Louis, and there is no boyfriend” she continued.

-          “Well it was worth a try” He laughed and looked her in the eyes.

The light from a flashlight hit them and they heard footsteps a few meters away.

-          “Hey, what are you two doing here” a male voice shouted.

Bea was quick on her feet. She handed Harry a hand to help him up.

-          “This way!” she laughed and began to run away from the male voice.

She ran out of a gate at the other end of the garden with Harry right behind her.

When they got a few feet away from the garden, Harry grabbed Bea’s arm and pulled her into a small alley. He pushed her up against the wall and placed one hand on each side of her head. They looked each other in the eyes while trying to catch their breath.

-          “That was close” he whispered.

She could feel his breath on her face.

She nodded and led her head fall back against the wall. Someone passed the alley, and that made Harry move closer to Bea. As a reflex she placed her hands on his hips. He looked her in the eyes and moved his head closer to hers. He closed his eyes and kissed her bottom lip. She kissed him back but then stopped.

-          “Uhm, I think he’s gone now” Bea whispered and looked down. She let her hands hang limp.

Harry nodded and moved his head.

“We’ll better get going, Louis is probably waiting for us.” Harry said, moving out of the alley. He smiled a wry smile while putting his hands in his pockets.
