Chapter 70: Chapter 70: First Love Story Part II

For some reason, hearing the girl’s words, Harry immediately felt comfortable. A smile appeared on his handsome face again. The first time he heard someone defending him, he was very happy. Even though this girl didn’t show her face, Harry was very grateful because this girl managed to cheer up his heart.

In the midst of this short conversation, the night sky was decorated with colorful fireworks. This girl watched the fireworks display until her eyes sparkled. Spontaneously, she grabbed the hand of the masked young man with joy.

"You know what I do every time I’m in a bad mood? I didn’t want to do anything and just wanted to see the fireworks."

Harry’s eyes also lit up enjoying the fireworks display which made his smile even wider. "Me too. I have loved watching fireworks since I was little."

"Every time you see fireworks, all negative thoughts are immediately erased."

"May I have another opinion?"

"What do you think?"

Harry chuckled as he stroked the girl’s tiny head. "Your smile is beautiful like fireworks. Your red cheeks are like fireworks."

Hearing the sweet talk from this masked man, this girl laughed happily. "It seems my pearls of wisdom are still lost." This girl stretched out her right hand. "Seeing as you are supporting me now, I want to dance with you."

"But, I can’t dance."

"Then, we can learn slowly. Actually, I’m not very good at it either."

"What if I accidentally stepped on your foot?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t be angry."

In the end, Harry wrapped his left hand around the girl’s slender waist, while his right hand held the girl’s left hand. They slowly moved their legs a little stiffly in the middle of the fireworks display. Harry focused on staring at the two pairs of legs moving like robots.

"Don’t keep looking at your feet! Is that leg your partner?" scolded the girl.

"Actually, I’m still not used to seeing women at close range like this."

Hearing this ridiculous remark, this girl burst out laughing. "If you were more confident, I’m sure many women would target you. "Because I myself guessed that you were a handsome young man, if you look at your posture, it’s perfect."

"In fact, I feel like many women are targeting me just to play with me. "Actually, a lot of women have liked me, but I feel like they just idolize me."

"Then, you can consider me your imaginary partner in the future. You don’t need to think I’m your lover, I give you freedom of imagination."

However, it was very difficult for Harry to obey this girl’s words. When he saw the sweet smile displayed by this girl, he really liked it. The red lips in front of him were like the color of fireworks that were currently burning. This girl was like a firework that illuminated the darkness in his heart.

At first his legs moved very stiffly, but now he does it more and more smoothly thanks to imagining that this girl is a special woman in his life. If only he could break the rules, he wanted to ask the girl’s name. Because he felt that the girl was the savior of his life.

Meanwhile the girl looked at this young man who was also very addicted for the first time. She tried to identify the color of the young man’s eyes, were they brown? Moreover, this young man’s body odor and voice were calm and low. Honestly,s he wanted to ask for a name straight away. However, she must obey the rules of this masquerade party.

"You’re finally good at dancing!" the girl cheered.

Accidentally, the girl’s heels got stuck in a hole in the concrete block. Her eyes started to fill with tears and she felt like asking this young man for help to free her stuck heels.

Harry immediately moved quickly, trying to free the heels the girl was wearing that were stuck. Even though she had done it with patience, it was a shame that this girl’s light pink heels broke.

"Your heels broke because they got stuck."

"Even though my mother just bought it for me." The girl pursed her lips.

Seeing dark clouds covering this girl’s beautiful face, Harry took the initiative to squat with his back to this girl. "Climb on my back. I’ll take you to the park bench."

This girl nodded shyly, climbed on the young man’s broad back while wrapping her arms around his neck. "I’m sorry I bothered you."

"For me, this is not a problem. "Just think of it as a reward because you succeeded in entertaining me and taught me to dance until I was proficient."

Even though the night air was blowing quite hard, this girl felt comfort and warmth on this young man’s back. If only the distance between the park and the park bench near the ballroom was quite far, she would want to enjoy this moment a little longer.

Likewise, Harry actually kept smiling because it was the first time he was holding a woman who openly defended him. Until now, he was still curious about the girl’s face behind the mask. Is it as beautiful as it looks?

In the end Harry managed to find a park bench near the fountain so they could rest for a while. Harry slowly let the girl sit on the park bench, then squatted in front of the girl while taking off her broken heels.

Harry took out a handkerchief from his coat pocket, gently wiping the girl’s tiny feet. "Do you have spare heels?"

The girl shook her head slowly. "I only have this."

"Then, are you going to walk without shoes?"

"Maybe I can try asking my friends for help."

With a look of pity, Harry gave his handkerchief to this girl. "My handkerchief is for you."

"No need. That’s yours."

"You need it more than me."

"But-"

"Claudia!!"

Hearing the sound of the girls screaming, Harry immediately ran, leaving this girl alone. He hid behind a bush, watching the girl take off her mask to clean her face. As he expected, the girl had beautiful eyes and a very sweet smile. Finally he managed to make out what the girl’s face looked like, a happy smile was etched on her face.

"I will remember your face and your name, Claudia."
