Chapter 4

Harry walked down the steps as my eyes discreetly scanned to what clothes adorned his body. A white patterned shirt with a few buttons left undone revealed his inked arms and chest. My eyes darted down to his lower half, he was wearing figure hugging black skinny jeans that clung to his long legs.

"Umm, you look different." I spoke. "Yeah, I like to let myself go a little out of school." Harry replied. "It's nice to see you." He took me into a comforting hug, his warm body touching mine.

The height difference between us was quite intimidating as I have always been quite small, his tall figure towered over mine.

"You can chill on the sofa if you like." Harry voiced. I nodded as I carried myself into what I assumed was the living room. Harry followed.

"Would you like something to drink, love?" His beautiful deep voice asked. I shook my head, smiling to him. He nodded once and sat on the sofa directly next to me, his clothed feet planted to the ground as he leant forward.

"So where to start." Harry began. I watched his features as he stroked  through the pages of the textbooks laid out in front of us on the polished black coffee table.

I quickly flicked my head back to looking down as I accidentally caught Harry's eye, he looked at me, smiling, adorable dimples plastered on his expression.

"Oh, sorry." I giggled, nervously picking at my nails. He made me nervous and intimidated and I wasn't sure why.

"Right lets get on with this project." Harry chuckled, cracking open a few more science books.

...

"It was nice seeing you, we should do this project studying thing again some time." Harry smiled and I nodded as he took me into his embrace. His large hand covered a lot of the space on my back as he held me tightly, giving my frame a small squeeze before letting go.

Still standing in his hallway next to his door, he pulled away from the affectionate hold and reached into his back pocket and tapped away on the screen of his iPhone. About to leave, Harry swiftly held his phone out towards me indicating for me to put my number into the empty contact space on his screen. I looked up to him and gave him a small smile before typing my number into the space.

I gave Harry his phone back as my small hand worked at holding it out to him. His soft fingertips brushed my knuckles after taking the phone back into his grasp and sliding it back into his pocket. He reached behind me and opened the door as I walked out of his extensive house. "See you soon." Harry spoke out. I waved and smiled at him as he smiled back and closed the door behind me.

As I strolled away from his apartment, I came across a large black vehicle parked outside which I could only guess was Harry's.
