An Unexpected Love Story

Chapter 4

Natalie's pov
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Cassie!!!" I hurriedly hobbled out of the car on my crutches and raced to my best friend. "Natalie," she called as she extended her arms toward me. "Omg, babe, what happend?" I forgot that I haven't told her about my broken foot. "Long story. I'll explain later."

That's when Harry decided to get out of the car. Cassie took a sharp intake of breath. "And who's that?" I smirked at my best friend. She was obviously starring at Harry as he approached us.

"Harry, this is my best friend, Cassie. Cassie, this is my-" I trailed off and looked up at Harry. He looked down at me in confusion, as if to ask why I paused. I gave him a sneaky wink. "Harry's my "friend" for those crazy nights where I'm bored and need something to "do."

A few seconds passed.

Cassie's eyes finally widened. "OMG, Natalie! You have a friend with be-" Harry and I cut her off by cracking up. I wiped away a fake tear and sighed. "Oh, Harry. Did you see her face? It was pricless." I turned to Cassie. "Harry's a good friend of mine. We met yesterday."

"Oy! That's not funny! I thought you were serious!" Cassie huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "We better get inside so I can get ready for our girls day." Her eyes flicked to Harry. She pulled me to her and whispered, "It is still a girls day right? Not to be rude." I pulled away and nodded.

"Do you want to walk up with us Harry," Cassie asked. He nodded his head and followed behind her. I began to walk up the stairs. I had some trouble due to my crutches. How am I going to get up three flights of stairs, if I can't even get up one step? I grunted in frustration.

Harry must of heard because he turned to look at me. "Having trouble, Princess?" I looked down in embarrassment and nodded. "Here. I'll carry you." I looked at him and laughed. "You can't do that! I'm to heavy." He only rolled his eyes and approached me. He picked me up bridal style and continued to walk up the stairs. I slung my crutches over my stomach and legs. After a minute, I relaxed into his arms and snuggled into his shoulder.

Harry carried me all the way to Cassie's door and set me down. "Well, I should be on my way. The boys want me down at the studio." We both went in for a hug. As I was pulling back, Harry quickly have me a kiss on the forhead. "Bye, Harry. See you soon." I waved goodbye as he walked down the stairs.

I walked into the apartment to see a smirking Cassie. "What," I asked. "Natalie! You like him! And it's obvious he likes you too!" I rolled my eyes. "Come on. You've got to get ready. Unless you're wanting to go like that. I don't think you'll get a guy wearing girl boxers and a tank top."

We walked into Cassie's room and got to work. As Cassie brushed out her hair, I plugged in her curling iron and chose her outfit. "Alright! I've got your outfit. Now let me work my magic."

Twenty minutes later, Cassie's hair was braided and pulled into a low bun. We both did our own makeup. After slipping on our shoes and checking our reflection in the full length mirror, we walked (or in my case, hobbled) out the door.

Just as I shut the car door, Cassie attacked me with questions. "Whoa! Whoa! Slow down or your tongue will fall out." I chuckled. I soon realized this was no laughing matter when Cassie cleared her throat . "Li. There's no more dodging my questions. What happened to you?"  I sighed. "I'll tell you on the way there."

For the next ten minutes I explained the fight and how I met Harry and how I broke my foot.

We are currently sitting at the nail salon, soaking our nails and getting a foot massage. "Is there anything you ladies had in mind today," the woman asked us. We both pulled out our phones and showed the woman. Soon we had our nails done and were on our way to the mall.

At the mall, we bought tickets for the 9:45 3D showing of Jurassic World. Cassie went to find seats and I went to buy candy and popcorn. I payed for the food and went to find Cassie. She was seated at the very top row, in the middle seats. I handed her a bag of popcorn and poured M&M's into it. I then poured Hot Tamales into my bag.

"You know me so well, bestie," Cassie said through a mouth full. I laughed and slipped on my 3D glasses.

I stuffed my mouth full of popcorn, focusing on Chris Pratt and blocking out the rest of the world.

Harry's pov
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I walked into my room and laid face down in the bed. I was exhausted. Today consisted of long meetings and recording sessions. I didn't get out of the studio until 9:40!!

I slipped off my shoes and shirt and pulled the covers back. I grabbed my pillow and brought it to my face. Just as I was laying my head down something yellow caught my eye. I reached over and grabbed it. It was a yellow sticky-note. It was a note from Natalie!

123-456-7890
Call for a good time. ;)
-Addie

Then it hit me. We hadn't exchanged  numbers!

I quickly grabbed my phone, typed her number into my phone, and saved her as a contact.

Harry: Hey

Natalie: Who is this?

I mentally slapped myself. Of coarse she doesn't know who I am! I was about to tell her who I was when an idea hit me.
I'm going to mess with her.

Harry: Remember me? It's sad that you gave a hand out and can't remember who you gave it to.

I smirked. This is going to be fun.
