Cherry Cola

Chapter 2

I stared straight ahead at the road as I ran my fingers through my fringe, taking small glances at Harry who was driving. Our eyes met, but I quickly looked away, cursing myself for letting him catch me looking.

"You alright, mate?" He asked as I gulped.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." I wasn't used to talking to people, let alone a boy as attractive as Harry. I told myself I need to stop stuttering like an idiot, I was making a fool of myself. Be confident, be confident, be confident.

"Looks like we're here." Harry gave a small smile, his dimples peaking slightly as he pulled into the Starbucks parking lot. He parked the car and I fumbled with my seatbelt. Why wouldn't the fucking button work?! "Oh, there's a trick to that belt." Harry reached across my lap to the latch, making me freeze as my face turned beet red. The smell of his cologne filled my senses as my eyelids fluttered from the intoxicating aroma. He released my seatbelt with ease and pulled back to his seat, opening his own door and getting out. I got out of his car and stepped into the fresh air, letting it blow my hair around. Harry walked to my side as we started towards Starbucks. The backs of our hands brushed against each other, causing my breath to hitch at the sheer contact. He gave a small laugh and a shake of his head as we entered the coffee shop. I ordered a mocha iced coffee with double whipped cream and told the cashier my name. As I pulled put my wallet, Harry ordered me to put it away.

"Don't worry, I got it." I reluctantly put my wallet back in my pocket as Harry paid for me. My order was up quick, followed by Harry's. "Let's sit in the back, so we can talk." I nodded as he directed me to a small two-person table near the back. "So, I have some questions for you, if that's alright?"

"Sure, that's fine." I replied, taking a sip of my coffee.
