Chapter 3: Well..this is awkward

*Maddy's POV*

I left the club with some amazing pictures. Mum will be so proud. As I walked down the dark streets of London, I heard footsteps behind me. I took a swift glance over my shoulder and saw curly boy from the club. Oh no. He is not following me. I quickened my pace.

"Wait up!" He screamed. I ignored him, but he eventually jogged to me. We walked together in silence- Me: Acting as if he wasn't there, Him: Trying to meet my eye every few seconds.

"I didn't catch your name." He said quietly.

"Well, I didn't throw my name."

He smirked slightly at my halfhearted attempt to joke.

"Ha. Ha. Very punny. I'm Harry. Harry Styles..."

I rolled my eyes. "No duh, big shot. Why do you think I took that picture?"

He nodded, "About that..."

"I said no. And no means no. It's my picture."

"Of course."

We let the silence envelope us again. My house was still a 10 minute walk from here. Why didn't I drive? What's wrong with me?

"Where're you heading?" Harry asked, almost reading my mind.

"Away from you."

He didn't flinch at my words as I had expected. "Want a ride?" He asked.

"Uhmm.. NO! Getting a ride from you is the opposite of trying to get away from you."

"Right..."

A gust of cold wind blew over us, and I shivered due to the exposed skin of my legs. Harry saw this and gave my a sympathetic look.

"My car has seat warmers, you know?" He offered again.

"NO!" I nearly shouted.

"Okay, okay! Your weird. Most girls would totally get in my car if I offered. Most girls would take 200 pounds. And a kiss." He looked expectantly at me.

"Well most celebrities are selfish, snooty, careless, brats. Oh wait...that applies to you too. My bad."

He laughed so loud it broke the unspoken code of quiet we had made. He gripped his stomach and laughed more. His face was contorted into a full blown grin with dimples and all. I couldn't help but chuckle with him. His laugh was like a contagious yawn. If I even thought about it I had the urge to laugh back.

After a few minutes we quieted down.

"Why are you following me?" I asked him when he didn't leave my side.

"I'm escorting you home. It's only customary." He replied.

"Umm..customary? Because it happens so often that you meet a hot girl at a club who takes an embarrassing picture of you and won't sell it to you for money or a kiss. Then when she walks away its now customary to walk her home?"

He just smiles. "Did you just call yourself hot? Wow. Who's the snooty brat now, huh?"

I rolled my eyes and ignored him. In the corner of my eye, I saw him inch closer to me. I stepped away in response.

"You're rejection isn't even subtle. Amazing." He joked. I didn't respond. We didn't talk for the rest of the way to my house. When we got there, I saw Harry's eyes widen.

"Y-you live here?!" He stammered.

"Yes...?" I looked at him questionably.

He swallowed and looked up at my mansion of a house. He said "wow" a few times under his breath, then just continued staring.

"It's not like you couldn't afford something like this." I pointed out

"True. But I just didn't expect you to be able to afford this. How old are you?"

"I'm 18. This isn't my house. I live with my mum."

He nodded and repeated "wow" again.

"Let's just say she makes a LOT of money..." I stated quietly.

He waited for me to continue, and when I didn't he asked the question I was dreading, "What does she do? I mean...like what is her job?"

I looked at my house, avoided his curious eyes. "She..she sorta works with media stuff. Like popular media things..."

"Like TV? Or Movies?"

"I mean like....magazines?"

"Oh. Cool."

I waited for him to understand. But he didn't seem to put the pieces together. I internally debated whether or not I should tell him my need for that picture.

"We'll, it's chilly out. I'll walk you to the door." He led me to my front door, and turned to face me.

"Goodnight..." He drew out the word because he didn't know my name. I sighed and gave in to his desire.

"Maddy." I said. He seemed happy with this.

Suddenly my front door swung open, and my mum stood there.
