Summer Love

Chapter 4: The Driveway

"You know, you don't have to be afraid" he chuckled from the seat in front of me.

"What?" I questioned.

"You've been twiddling with your fingers since you got here. I'm not that kind of guy, trust me" he flashed me a reassuring smile as he finished up his burger.

McDonald's. That's where we are. It was the nearest place where we could get food.

"Uh no no it's nothing like that. It's just-"

"What's wrong?" He cut me off with a worried expression.

I can't tell you about my anxiety issues.

No no.

No one knows about em.

Not even V.

"I'm just..... Really tired" I answered as I took out my phone.

It is already past midnight.

Way past midnight.

"Course. Come on then" he stood up and waited for me to get up before heading towards the door.

-----

"Guess we're here" the car came to a halt outside the familiar looking lobby.

"Thanks for the ride. And the food. Thank you" I undid my seatbelt and flashed him a smile before getting out.

"Hey...uh Al?"

"Yeah?"

"Could I get your number? I mean I could like show you around and stuff and uh..."

Um.

Well shit.

I can't say I don't have a phone because he has seen me "texting".

Not that I was really texting but it was just really awkward with him.

I'm awkward with everyone. Until I get to know them fully of course.

"Uh yeah sure I guess"

I took his phone from his hand and typed my number in.

"Here" I handed him back his phone.

Then our hands brushed for a few seconds.

Oh cue the red cheeks.

"I guess I'll see you soon then" he grinned widely, dimples on full display.

"I guess. Goodnight and thanks again!"

"No worries love. Night!"

I watched as he switched gears and drove off.

I stood there until the tail lights faded fully.

That escalated quickly.

Guess I've got a new friend then.

HARRY'S POV

"Hello?" I groaned as I answered the call.

Is this a time to call?!

It's only 9 in the morning for christ's sake!

"Hey baby!" A very chirpy voice rang though the phone.

"Hey Tanya" I sighed as I sat up straighter on my bed.

"Baby! You wanna come round mine later?! I have some friends coming over!"

Oh you mean the friends whom you like to show me off to?

"Uh no babe... As much as I would love to, I promised a friend I'll show her... I mean him! Around London."

"Who is that?" She questioned a bit too loud for my liking.

"A friend. I met him last night." I replied sternly.

"Ya ya whatever then. Love you babe!"

"You too"

Then the line went dead.

I had to lie. I wouldn't want my over protective girlfriend eating my head off since I'm going out with a girl.

Alia's a wonderful girl. She's a tad too quiet though. There's something really intriguing about her. She's built a tough wall around her and its..... I don't know. I just feel she needs.....help. A friend.

I ruffled my hair and set them to place before freshening up and putting on new clothes.

ALIA'S POV

Someone was banging at the door. Who could it be this early in the morning?!

I set my bowl of cereal back on the table and opened the door.

"Hey love" he walked past me and into the kitchen where he gulped down a whole bottle of water.

"Where have you been?!" I shot him a questioning look.

"Oh you know....around" he smirked.

"Oh come on V. That's disgusting" I closed the door and walked to him.

"Advil?" I asked when he started rubbing his head.

"Go freshen up, I'll get you something"

"Eat before taking advil!" I yelled.  

I placed a plate of toast with milk and two Advil tablets beside his bed while he took a bath.

My phone then started playing out some muffled sound.

what?

oh.

its my ringtone.

"Oh crap crap" I ran to my room and searched for my ringing phone.

Oh god I hate when I can hear it but can't find it.

"There you are" I thought as I grabbed it from under the duvet.

Unknown number??

"Hello?"
