Chapter Five
Harmony's POV

I was not sure what was going on with Keith wanting to spend so much time around me. He never had wanted too before. But I think it was a mind game really.

That because I did not want to be around him and that made him want to be around him even more. It all made sense. So, I was going to have to make it a point to be around him some.

Not too much. But enough to where he would stop wanting to be around me all the time. And flat out stop wanting me.

Keith did not want the likes of me. He told me long ago he would never want me. Well, he had not said to right to my face. But I had overheard him talking to his brother Danny about me. How annoying I was to him.

I had admired him for so long. For so much of my life. It really hurt me deeply inside that he wanted nothing to do with me.

I should be thrilled now that he was paying attention to me. But deep in me, that was not the case. I was not happy about this at all.

I tap my pencil on my notebook. I still liked to keep a journal around. I wrote my thoughts out daily. It helped me to get over my past. My past was not a good one. I was not sure how to get Keith out of my life plan was going to play out. I jot down some ideas. 

1) Play easy to get. Shock him. Make him, think I wanted him.

2) Take interest in his hobbies. Join him at events.

3) Get to know his friends.

4)Tell him to drop dead if nothing else works.

I laugh at the last one there that I wrote. I sigh. I could tell him we could be only friends then not have time for him.

As he had done to me in the past. But that made me want to be around him even more. And work harder at getting his attention.

"Hey what is going on? Want to go for a walk? It is a really nice day outside there" Laurie says as she glances outside our window.

"Sure, that sounds great" I say. I needed to clear my head.

"Who are you trying to get rid of?" Laurie looks at my notes. She laughs.

"Keith!" I grumble.

"He only wants you because you do not want him" she laughs as she rolls her eyes.

"I know" I smirk.

"The only way to get over someone is to get under them" she points out. My cheeks blush now.

"Laurie!" I laugh. "No"

"Think about it! He wants too so bad right now. You can tell the way he always tries to come over here. Let him. Let him in. Let him take you to dinner. Let him do all those things. Then when he is in over his head and he will, then tell him sorry not interested. Tell him you never meant for things to get too far" she giggles. "perfect revenge"

"But that is kind of drastic" I wince.

"He has ruined countless, friendships of mine because he dumped my friends for someone else" she reminds me. "I would love to see Keith Partridge brought to his knees" she states.

"Thing is if I get to close I do not know if I can hurt someone. You know that is not me" I worry. "I might let things go too far"

"No, you can do this!"  she begs me. "come on it is the perfect plan"

"I doubt I can land Keith in my bed. But you know what I am game!" I giggle.

She high fives me.

"That a girl!" she laughs. "Let Bring Keith Partridge To His Knees Project begin!"

"Amen sister" I joke.

"Let's go for that walk" she says. "I will stop by and see if Keith wants to come to"

"Good idea" I snicker.

She grabs her car keys. Then we hop in the car. Head on over to her mom's house. I see Keith's car was in the driveway. My heart flutters nervously. I wondered if I could really pull this off?

Make Keith grovel at my feet. Make Keith fall in love with me? Make him want me? Hurt him the way he broke my heart? I follow Laurie into the house.

Danny and Keith were sitting in the living room reading and watching tv. Being lazy. Keith looks up to see me there. He looks surprised then pleased to see me. He nearly knocks over his soda that was sitting on the coffee table there. 

♡♪♬♪♡

"Hi there ladies" he greets us.

He looked fantastic today. Wearing dark blue jeans. They hugged him tightly on his lean hips. He wore a short sleeve shirt that was multicolored like a rainbow. He wore his favorite puka necklace around his neck. Why did he have to be so naturally good looking?

"We are heading to the park. The day is perfect out. Want to walk with us Keith?" offers Laurie.

"Now? Sure" says Keith.  He seemed happy to be involved.

He has a sweet blush flush to his cheekbones. He smiles at me.

I smile back in return.

"What about me?" mutters Danny. He pouts.

"You have homework. Get to it shrimp" mentions Keith.

"Fine" Danny mutters.

We head out the door to Laurie's car. Keith sits in the backseat behind me. We head out to the park. Laurie drives into town.

Light music plays on her radio. My heart begins hammering in my ears. My heart races. Damn Keith still affected me still. After all these years. I hated it that he did.

"How has your week been going for you Harmony?" Keith asks me.

"Good and how about you?" I ask.

"Good, working on new songs" he informs me.

"Wow new music. Can't wait to hear it" I say to him.

"Maybe when Laurie comes over to work on it you can come listen to us. Like old times" he tells me.

I wince. Like old times. When I hung around. When I was doing all I could to be at their practice. To watch him sing. I loved to hear him sing. His voice was beautiful. Always had been a weakness for me.

Laurie nudges me in the side then nods.

"Sure, I would love to" I agree.

I nod. I sigh. This was not going to work.

We find a spot to park the car then head out for a walk.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Hey guys I see a friend of mine I need to catch up with. You walk. I will be right back" says Laurie suddenly. "MARY ELLEN!" she calls out waving to a girl near us. Then takes off.

"She always was taking off on me. Like old times" I chuckle.

"Right" laughs Keith. "Listen I am so glad we have some alone time to talk"

"Oh, what about Keith?" I ask.

"I had a dream about something that happened between us. And I remembered it. I know why you hate me so much. And I do not blame you. But at least now I can say how sorry I am that I treated you the way that I had back than" he softly says. "I know you overheard me talk about you to Danny. Well complain about you"

I wince. "Thank you for saying that, it means a lot. I have to jog. I am trying to keep that old weight off me" I scoff as I go to run from him some. I could not handle this like I thought. Old pain comes in my heart. He really hurt me. Tears watered in my eyes.

I feel him touch my arm stopping me. 

"I mean it. I am sorry, please really forgive me. I want to be your friend and a part of your life. A real friend. Not a fake one if you will have me" he softly tells me in a serious tone. His eyes stare deep into mine. Not blinking at all. 

"Sure" I mutter.

I look the other way as tears want to splatter. Damn emotions.

Getting the better of me.

He comes closer to me. He touches my cheek with his hand. Making me look back at him. I never saw this side of him before. I brush tears away.

♡♪♬♪♡

"I am very sorry, I mean it" he sternly says. "I regret everything I said. You have become one of the most beautiful women that I have ever saw before in my life Harmony"

Before I knew it his face inches closer to mine. Then his lips find their way to mine cupping over them. My lip's part returning the kiss.

Pressing on his. His kiss tasted so good on mine. My hand was resting on his hip we were standing so close together. My heart beats as steady as a drum. After the kiss ends. He kisses my forehead. 

"This is only the beginning for us. A new start Harmony. I promise this to you" he whispers softly. After that Laurie rejoins us.

We head out for our walk enjoying the afternoon. I could do this. I could win his heart. And dump him.

But the fact was he was going to break my heart again. Letting him go was never as easy as it seemed to be. It was not an easy task. So in order to break Keith Partridges heart I was going to have to shatter my own.
