L.A girls (H.S)

Chapter 5- a little closer

Two days later.

I've spent my whole weekend hanging out with Harry and the boys... but mostly Harry.

I've spent the last few hours at work since it's Monday. I'm tired already yet it's only twelve.

"Jayden. Yoohoo! Over here." Monica waves at me from the tables.

Please lord Jesus, help me get through this without cutting off that ponytail of hers. I come around the counter and walk up to Monica and her friends.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Can you be a doll and get me more froyo?" She asks me as she holds her bowl out to me.

"The machine is right there. You can get it yourself." I say.

"But Jayden don't the customers come first?" She asks.

"Yes but you can do it yourself." I say.

"Don't make me get your manager." she growls.

"Go ahead." I say and I move out of the say so she can get up.

She doesn't move and I nod my head at her before backing away. She grabs one of her friends bowls and goes to throw it at me but I smack it up so it splatters on her face and spills on her clothes.

She screams and stands up.

"You ruined my shirt!" She shrieks.

"What is going on out here?" My manager, Randy, asks as he comes around the counter.

"She spilled this icecream on me on purpose!" Monica says.

"Is that true?" Randy asks me.

"Yes but she went to throw it at me first!" I say and he sighs.

"Your name tag please." he holds out his hand to me.

"Randy please! This isn't my fault!" I insist.

"Jade don't make this harder than it already is." he says and I sigh before taking my name tag.

I hand it to him and turn around. I go to the back of sunny's and grab my bag and go out to get my bike.

I look around for my bike to find its not on the bike rack anymore.

"Oh my fucking god! You have to be shitting me!" I cry.

Okay I was just fired, someone stole my bike, and I have no ride.

I pull my phone out and scroll through my contacts.

The only person I can think of calling is Harry because he doesn't work... or at least I don't think he does.

I dial his number and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hello." He answers.

"Harry." I croak.

"Jayden?" He asks.

The way my name rolls off his tongue makes me actually like my name.

"Yeah umm." I look around. "are you busy?"

"Uhh no. Whats wrong?" he sounds worried.

"I need a ride home." I say.

"I though you had to work today." he says.

"I did... I was fired." I bite my lip.

"Well that blows. Why do you need a ride?" He asks.

"My bike was stolen."

"Wow. Yeah I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Okay. Thank you." I sigh.

"It's no problem love. I'll see you in a few."

"Okay." I sigh.

I walk over to a bench that over looks the beach and sit down. After a few minutes someone sits down next to me.

"You okay?" Harry asks.

"No." I answer honestly.

"Good. I have a place to show you then." he gets up and holds his hand out to me.

I take it and he pulls me up.

"Where are we going?" I ask as we walk down the board walk.

"You'll see."

We turn down a dirt road and I look around. The palm trees turned into pines a few miles back and I can't help but wonder where he's taking me.

We pull up to a rather big log cabin and I see Louis and Niall on the front porch drinking beers.

We pull to a stop and Harry turns off his bike.

"Is this what you wanted to show me?" I ask.

"Nope." he answers.

"Hey Jade." Niall waves.

"Hey guys." I wave back.

"Come on." Harry takes my hand and leads me behind the cabin.

We through the back yard to a trail that leads into the woods.

"Where are we going?" I ask as he pulls me along.

"You'll see." he says.

We run up to a dead end but then take a left, then a right, then go down a steep little hill.

We get to a clearing and I look around. Its a sort of cliff. I let go of his hand and walk to the edge and look over it to see the water a quite a few feet away.

"Damn." I mutter as I pull away.

"Yeah if you we're to fall off that you'd have a very small chance of getting out of there without injury." he confirms.

"Why'd you bring me here?" I ask as I sit down on a rock.

"Because." he sighs as he sits down next to me. "I come here when I need to clear my mind. Its like my safe haven." he looks at me. "I want it to be our safe haven."

I blush and look down at my hands.

"I know we've only known each other for a week or so but I can't get you out of my head." he says.

"I though I was the only one." I mumble and he shakes his head.

"Your not." I look up at him and our eyes lock.

His eyes glance down at my lips before looking back at my eyes. He leans in slowly and so do I. The kiss is slow and sweet. I close my eyes and he cups my face. Our lips move in synch as I wrap my arms around his neck. But then he pulls away leaving me breathless.

"Do you want to go to dinner tomorrow night?" He asks.

"I would love to." i smile.

He smiles and pecks my lips before standing up.

"Come on. If you have nothing to do today we can still hang out somewhere." He suggests.

"Okay. We can go to my house... I need to call my dad and ask him to send money my way for a car." I sigh as I run my fingers through my hair.

"Why do you need a car when you have me?" Harry winks and I shake my head.

"Your horrible." I giggle as I stand up.

"I know, but you find that sexy." he jokes and I laugh.

"Let's go loverboy." I grab his hand and we run to the trail.
