What the hell was wrong with me?!
When Harry arrived, he was soaking wet. I knew he must have been cold, so I offered him some dry clothes. I brought out my red flannel, figuring it would be nice and warm for him. I came out and handed it to him; he started to walk way to change.
I don’t know what came over me! I told him that he could change here, that he didn’t have to change in another room. I’m sure he felt so awkward. I don’t know why I said it; I was just….curious, I guess.
As he began to take his shirt off, all the air went from my lungs. I couldn’t breath. He was beautiful. He was covered with tattoos; they all intrigued me, from the two sparrows that danced by his collar, to the mermaid who lay on his arm. I didn’t know what to say.
He started to button the shirt; it only took him a second to realize I had been staring.
Great. Perfect. The last thing I wanted was to freak him out. He seemed like he scared easily.
“Uhh…Uh…” I stuttered, still in shock.
“Everything alright?” Harry asked, scratching the back of his head nervously. Why was he nervous?
“Uhh…y-yeah.” God, I couldn’t even speak like a normal person! What the hell was wrong with me!?
“What movies do you have?”
“Umm…Love Actually?”
He smiled, “I love that movie.”
I set up the DVD player and took a seat next to Harry on the couch. My nerves were really starting to get to me. The movie started and we soon were both focused on the movie; my nerves began to dissipate.
But only for a moment.
I started to feel like I was being stared at. I glanced over at Harry, who looked away quickly. I was getting a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach and I wasn’t sure what it was.
I knew I was starting to like Harry, but I though maybe, just maybe, that the reason he was so nervous when he was around me was because he felt the same way.
I hoped to God that I was right.
Please God.
Please.
As the movie ended, we both sat in silence. Suddenly, Harry turned to me.
“Niall?”
“Y-yeah, Harry?” I relied nervously.
“Let’s just talk for a bit. I want to know more about you.”
“Oh okay.” I smiled. I could handle that.
“Um… wow I don’t know where to start…” he trailed off.
