Everything About You (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter 7

“Mmm, this is so good.” I sipped my Mocha Frappuccino as I hummed happily, occasionally scrolling through my Facebook news feed. Harry and I had also been texting back and forth, even though he wasn’t supposed to be on his phone while at work.

I glanced at my mum across from me and she was watching me with a smile. “Texting Harry?” She asked. I blushed a little and nodded before looking back at my phone. It buzzed quietly and I clicked on the new message from Harry.

From: Harry: I know it’s your mum’s birthday and I feel bad for asking, but do you think we could hang out tonight?

I almost let out an excited squeal, but I didn’t want my mum to question me again. “Hey, mum?” She looked up from her magazine with curiosity sparkling in her eyes. “I know it’s your birthday and I had made plans for us to watch a romantic movie like Pride and Prejudice b-”, She cut off my train of thought with her musical laugh.

I gave her a puzzled look and she laughed again. “Yes, it’s alright if you go see Harry. Just be home by curfew.” I reached over and gave her a hug saying “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” I settled back into the wooden chair and drank my Frappuccino as I eagerly answered Harry.

To: Harry: Mum said yes! What time?

He automatically responded as if he’d been staring at his phone, waiting for my reply.

From: Harry: Brilliant! Maybe around 7?

As I read the text, I looked up at the corner of my phone screen and checked the time. It was about 6:20 now. “I’m going to Harry’s at 7.” I informed my mum. She nodded, not really paying attention to me as she read about the latest celebrity gossip.

To: Harry: Sounds good ;)

I slipped my phone into my jean shorts pocket and got up to throw my cup away. As I walked by, someone that I’d never seen around here before caught my eye. His dark hair was spiked upwards and his hazel eyes were observing me.

Who was he? Maybe he’s new to this area? I contemplated just ignoring him and walking back to where my mum sat, but I decided to be my usual friendly self. I walked closer to where he was, in the corner of Starbucks. He held his phone in his right hand, but put it away as he saw me making my way towards him. Hopefully I don’t seem creepy.

I finally reached him and held out my hand. He gave me a shy smile and shook my hand bashfully. Was he nervous? “Hi, I’m Emery. I haven’t seen you before, and usually I know just about everyone here.” He laughed lightly before I continued.

“Are you new here?” He nodded and spoke with a deep voice. My phone began buzzing, but I just ignored it. “I just moved here a couple days ago. I’m Zayn.” I smiled warmly at him and heard someone clear their throat behind me. I turned around to see my mum with a smirk on her face.

I tilted my head towards Zayn, hoping my mum would get the hint to leave me alone for a minute. Luckily, she knows well enough and she smiled before walking out of Starbucks. I looked back at Zayn and he stood there awkwardly. I laughed and nodded towards him. “You look scared.” He answered with a quiet chuckle before speaking again. “I guess I’m a little shy. I don’t really know anyone here.”

Aw, poor Zayn. “Well you know me now! Maybe we can meet up sometime. Then when school starts up again, you’ll know at least one person.” He beamed gratefully at me and nodded. I got out my phone and we exchanged numbers. “It was nice meeting you, Zayn; I have to go though. My mum’s waiting for me.” “Oh okay. Bye.” He waved to me as I exited Starbucks. Well, he seemed nice.

My phone buzzed annoyingly again and I decided to see who it was.

From: Harry: You there?

That was the most recent text. I scrolled up to see that he sent me a text before that.

From: Harry: Can’t wait ;)

It seemed a little weird that he had freaked out. It’d only been 15 minutes since I’d answered. I smiled, knowing that he’d been thinking about me.

To: Harry: I’m here :) I’ll see you at 7

I reached my mum’s truck and hopped inside. She began talking as soon as I opened the door though. “Who was that?” She sounded like I was 8 and I’d just told her about my first crush. “His name’s Zayn. He just moved here and didn’t know anyone.”

I tried to make my voice imply that I was only interested in being friends with Zayn. “Oh” was all she said before she began driving back home. I leaned back and relaxed into the comfy car seat. My eyelids began fluttering and I decided to rest before seeing Harry’s cute face again.

What do you think Harry’s plans are? (;

How’d you like Zayn entering the story? I’m not sure yet if he’s going to show up a lot in Emery’s past though.
