Little Stars in Jars.

Chapter 2

Ellie's POV

I shakily bring my coffee to my lips as I sat on the bench. I was now at Central Park, drinking a coffee to  calm my nerves and stay awake. I couldn't sleep last night because of the events yesterday. I bumped into a Harry Styles look-a-like (or it might really be him) and found out that I'm-- we're gonna be shooting with them on tomorrow. 

Woah. In 39 hours, 16 minutes and 25 seconds, I'm gonna be meeting my ex-best-friend-who-left-and-forgot-about-me. Well, I'm not counting. 

I tried taking my mind off it but, I can't. I mean, his face is like in the whole frickin' New York city! Ads, Commercials, Gah! It's so annoying. I muttered curses under my breath making strangers passing by, look at me weirdly. What? It's New York! They should mind their own business!

"Umm, Miss? Are you ok?" I looked up to see a handsome guy looking at me, amusement clearly dancing in his eyes. I blushed in embarrassment, which is a first. I don't actually become embarrassed by my stupid/ weird actions to other people.

"Um, yeah." I said, looking down on my coffee, suddenly becoming interesting. I heard him chuckle and sat down on the bench beside me. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Did I allow you to sit here?" I said, wagging my index finger at him. He cracked a smile and leaned back on the bench.

"Well, you don't own the bench and this is a free country, which means, I can do whatever I want." He said, smirking at me boyishly. Cute. He should really smile more. It makes him more handsome and cu--Ellie! Stop! You just met the guy and you're having thoughts about him. 

I rolled my eyes at him. We just sat there for a moment, a comfortable silence hanging in the air. 

"So, aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Handsome stranger said, looking at me. I grinned at him, and shook my head making him frown. His eyebrows meeting, his lips pouting slightly. 

"Nuh-uh. You go. Ladies first, remember?" He narrowed his eyes at me for a moment, making me think that I've already hit the button. I panicked. Shit. I just met a handsome guy and I already made him mad at me. How great are you Ellie? 

But then, he started laughing. Wait, what? Why the heck is this guy laughing?

"God, your expression! Priceless! Hahaha!" I glared at him. God, Why am I, Lily Ellie Masons so gullible? It was always like this. I was always the freaking gullible girl! Even Harry pranked me many times! 

My inner rant stopped when it mentioned Harry's name. A memory slaps me on the face.

I lied down on the beach chair, letting myself loose. It's and those  been 2 weeks since Harry and I started hanging out a Me and Harry decided to swim today since it's pretty hot here. Thank heavens, my mother built a swimming pool here at our backyard. Love you Mom.

"Flower! Aren't you gonna swim?" I heard Harry asked. 

"Nope! Later!" I said, sending him a peace sign. Harry continued annoying me, pursuing me to swim with him. I just ignored him as I turn the stereo on, letting Max Schnieder's voice flood my ears. Oh how sexy that sound is. I think I'm in love. 

With Harry?

I blushed on what my inner thoughts said. Seriously? Harry is just a friend--

That you have a crush on.

I don't have a crush on him!, I told my inner thoughts.

So you love him?, it asked.

I sighed and pushed those thoughts away and relaxed. I realized that I can only hear Max's voice. No Harry annoying or whining. I sat up and saw Harry's body floating on the pool. Oh my god. Panic washed over me as I stood up. I quickly stripped off my shirt, revealing my red bikini and slipped off my flip flops.

I took a deep breath and dived in to the pool. The cold water enveloped my making me shiver but, I ignored it and swam towards Harry. When I reached him, I grabbed him by the shoulders and swam towards the pool's surface. I laid him down and started pumping his chest but, he never moved or even spit out some water.

I bit my lip. Well, then just do it. Staring at him won't do anything. I moved to hi head and laid it to my lap. I licked my lips and leaned in, brushing the wet curls on his face. He looked so peaceful. I  leaned in a little more closer and gulped. I was about to place my lips on his when suddenly he spoke,

"I didn't know you wanted to kiss me so badly." 

"Hey? Heeeeey." I snapped out of my thoughts as someone pokes my sides making me jump. I turned to glare at Mr. hot stranger.

"Why did you do that?" He shrugged, smiling at me. I almost melted on the spot. I continued to glare at him but, cracked. I let out a chuckle as he does the same. That's hot.

Suddenly, his phone rang, making him jump in surprise. I let out a laugh as he glared at me playfully. Karma, karma, karma. Hahaha. He poked my side and answered the call, making me stop myself from talking.

"Oh Hey man. What's up? Really? Where? Who's with you? Sure. I'll be there. Bye mate." He turned and looked at me, grinning.

"What?" I asked, confused by his actions. He grabbed my phone, ignoring my protests. Gosh, is this guy crazy? He tapped the screen and grabbed me by the shoulders, hanging his arm around me. I looked at him then I heard a snap. He pulled away and pulled out his own phone. He tapped something and his phone ring. I was still lost in what his doing. 

He gave my back my phone, kissing me on the cheek and winked. 

"Bye Ellie!" I waved at him, still confused. What the heck did he do? Suddenly, my phone vibrated. I pulled it out and saw a text.

From: Josh 'Hottie' Devine.

See you around Ellie. ;) xx

I looked up and stared at his running figure.

What have I gotten myself into?
