Behind The Mask II Harry Styles #Wattys2015

Chapter 20

Alyssa's P.O.V.

I walked down the busy sidewalk of a crowded New York street, pushing through the sea of people. Dressed in my Sunday best, I struggled to open the big, heavy, wooden doors of the central church. I walked down the long isle and found an open seat next to an elderly looking woman.

I sat in silence waiting for the service to begin. The preacher walked to his pulpit and gave a long talk. There were hymns, preachers, and prayer. After the service was over, I walked out of the church in silence. I made my way back to my apartment and walked up the steps to my door. I was confused when I saw a sleeping Harry waiting on my doorstep.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. His head snapped up and he blinked a couple of times.

"Hey." He smiled.

"Why were you asleep on my doorstep?" I chuckled.

"I was bored and I came to see if you were busy and you weren't here so I decided to wait and I must have fallen asleep." He laughed.

"Well come in." I opened the door and he followed me in.

"Why are you all dressed up?" He asked me.

"I just got back from church."

"Church? Who goes to church?"

"Me. Every weekend." He smirked.

"You look like the type to go to church."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know. You just look so..."

"So what?"

"So innocent." He said.

"Have you ever been to church?" I asked, curious of his response.

"Not once in my entire life." He stated like he was proud. I laughed.

"Well do you want anything to eat?" I asked him.

"No thanks." I went into my kitchen and he followed behind. I made myself a sandwich and took a bite of it. Harry just watched me intently.

"What are you staring at?" I asked.

"You."

"Why?"

"Because you're beautiful." I laughed.

"That's the funniest thing I've heard all day."

"It's true."

"Pfft." I finished eating my sandwich and I went to change into some more comfortable clothes.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go change." I told Harry.

"Kay." Was all he said. I picked out some back skinny jeans and a gray sweater and changed. I came out to find Harry on my couch with his face buried in his phone. When he saw me he put it away.

"Do you wanna do something today?" He asked.

"Like what?"

"Wanna go for a drive?"

"Okay." He smiled and we left my apartment. I felt the cold air grace my skin and I shivered. I got into Harry's Range Rover and he started driving away.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I don't care as long as we're back by tonight because I have work tomorrow." I said.

"Alright." He turned the radio up and the sound of music filled my ears.

"I wish you could see your face right now cause you're grinning like a fool. It doesn't matter when we get back to doing what we do, because right now could last forever just as long as I'm with you. You're just a daydream away. I wouldn't know what to say if I had you. So I'll keep you a daydream away. Just watch from a safe place so I'll never have to loose. We'd go out on the weekends to escape our busy lives. I would drink a little too much, you'd offer me a ride and I would offer you a t-shirt if you'd stay another night..."

I smiled at the familiar tune and hummed along. I saw Harry smirking from the corner of my eye and he started to sing along. Wow his voice sounds amazing. I thought to myself. I just let the sound of his voice relax me and soothe me. I've been under so much stress with work and my bills and for the first time in a long time I finally felt better.

Just being with Harry made me happy. It's weird that I am such good friends with my boss but I don't see him as that. I see him as my best friend.
