It Just Happened

Chapter 6

The next day, I had my eyes on my phone starting at noon. I was dreading the text message, but at the same time I was anxious. And then it came.

Be ready by 1.

That's it? Really? I dragged my feet to the bathroom to take a quick shower, apply a light layer of makeup, change and put my hair up in the high bun the girls had told me to. Looking at myself in the mirror, I started a pep talk.

"He's cute, yes. He's sweet, yes. He's funny, yes...but he's dangerous Asia. Be. Careful."

A knock on the apartment door broke my concentration and I heard Gabby scream for me.

"Your man is here!" She hollered. I rolled my eyes, grabbing my white purse with black bicycle prints and made my way to the front room.

"Hello gorgeous," his tenor voice drifted from his lips to my ear, caressing my ear drums. I felt my knees go weak and immediately pulled myself out of it.

"Let's just get this over with," I smirked as I walked out past Harry, leaving his mouth ajar and making my way down the stairs.

"Use protection!" Laura's scream followed us down the staircase. I laughed aloud as Harry replied with an "Unlikely!"

"So what are we doing on this outing?" I questioned, Harry wrapping an arm around my shoulder and leading us down the sidewalk.

"First stop is Central Park," he smiled as we crossed the street. I spotted a group of teen girls crossing the street behind us, and immediately knew we had stalkers.

I used my arm to stop Harry in his tracks and turned us around to face the girls.

"Go take pictures." I said, pushing him forward. He looked at me surprised and I shooed him. "They deserve to meet you, they've been following us for 5 minutes."

The girls had all stopped in their tracks, watching as the singer sauntered over to them. One girl started shaking, and I smiled. Harry waved me over after a few minutes.

"Hi Asia!" One of the girls smiled as she introduced herself as Jen. "I watch your videos!" I blushed a fierce crimson as she kept fangirling.

"You have videos?" Harry questioned with an amused glare. I nodded and Jen went on into a detailed description of my latest video which just so happened to be a comedy video to the song Boyfriend by Justin Bieber...in which I wore a wig and taped down my boobs. Awkward.

"It was nice meeting you!" They all yelled, giggling as they looked through the pictures they had taken with both of us.

"You like making videos, hm?" His eyes were playful, teasing me lightly. I smacked him in the abdomen and laughed. His eyes attached to me suddenly, and I felt my face flush.

"What? Is there something on my face?"

"No, I just realized how beautiful you look right now..."

I shooed the compliment away from my mind and kept my state to the sidewalk. Soon we reached a small playground at the center of the park, and I saw a few small kids racing down the slides. His fingers clasped around my wrist quickly and he rushed us to the swings in the far right corner. He sat on one of the swings and I took the other, quickly pumping my legs to get higher than him. We were laughing like two toddlers...and I felt like I could already be falling.

Stupid boy.
