Young and Free Harry Styles Fanfic

Ch. 4 
I rubbed circles on Harry's back as he unlocked the door to his house. I could hear a thick Irish accent talking in Paige's ear behind me and could tell her face was red without even looking back.

"You good, Rosy?" I snickered. I thought I was funny, so did Harry.
Paige didn't.. but then again, that's why I did it.
We enjoyed irritating each other.

I followed Harry into the dark room and turned at the sound of my name. 
"We're gonna go back to mine." Niall said. I looked at Paige and tried to read her mind.
"Are you sure?" Harry said, bringing his hand up to my back. I gulped. 
"Yeah yeah, I'll call you later Fran." P nodded at me. 
"Let's just.." I started to say before Paige grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side.

"I'll be okay Frannie, what's your deal?" she whispered. 
"I was just making sure.." I shook my head.

Sure, we messed around and stuff, but I always felt protective of her, even though she was a year older than me.

"I know cutie..but did you hear that accent? Can I get pregnant by that?" she winked and I laughed.

I yelled at Niall and Paige before shutting the door, "Hit it from the back, Niall." 
Niall laughed and P showed me a skinny middle finger, but I knew she was smiling.

"So you're gonna stay?" Harry asked walking close to me which made me jump. 
Sometimes I felt comfortable around him, then other times he made me really nervous.. in a good way.

"Course, why wouldn't I?" I smiled. 
"Thought you might leave since Paige did." He walked past me and starting making drinks. 
"Na, she'll be fine." I said, sitting my purse down on the chair beside me.

"How'd you two meet again?" Harry handed me my drink. 
"It's funny actually, we used to hate each other in high school.. But we both went to the same college and she somehow ended up stoned in my backseat-we've been joined at the hip ever since."

Harry smiled and nodded his head once.

We sat down on the sofa and stared at the tv. 
My drink made me a little more brave so I scooted closer, putting my long legs in his lap. 
"So I've been trying to figure you out." I said turning my head to the side making my dark hair fall over my shoulder.

He laughed, "Why's that?" 
I shrugged,"You just seem too perfect.. there must be something wrong with you."

Harry was rubbing his thumb over my knee, making it hard for me to concentrate.
"I can't think of anything." he smirked at me. 
I placed my drink on the table in front of us.
I couldn't get over how attractive
he was; they didn't have guy like this where I lived...
"It's rude to stare, ya know." He smiled. 
I blinked and looked down at my hands, blushing at his words.
"Sorry." I laughed and pulled my legs off of him and brought them up to my chest.

We ended up doing the last thing I thought we would: talking. 
He asked me about school and my family, and I asked the same.

He told me he started school, but eventually got tired of it and dropped out. 
"I wish I could.. Schools just not for me.." I twisted the ring my middle finger.

"Really? You seem like such a great student." I looked up to see him grinning at me.
I laughed.
"The only reason I busted my ass in school was so I could come here for free." 
"So you're like a 'good girl' huh?" Harry poked my rib, obviously amused. 
I rolled my eyes," Lets just say I was in bed by ten every night until a couple months ago..It's a never ending battle."

"How come?" He looked at me like he was genuinely curious.
"I don't know.. I'm just ready to be on my own, ya know?"
"I understand."

"I mean, this must be nice right?.. No one on your back all the time..and you have this whole house to yourself.."

Harry shook his head and smiled,"Yeah it's cool... So what is this thing you're doing for school anyway?"

"Well it's kinda like studying abroad, but more book studying rather than culture studying... We just came to have fun. But the only way our parents would let us go so far is if they think we're on total lock down at the school, which is hella strict."

"So what would happen if someone walked into your dorm right now?" Harry grinned.
"Uhhh hunt us down then probably send us home and kick us out of college all together." I shrugged my shoulders and smiled back.

I turned to the buzzing from my phone and looked at the screen.
"Hey mom...Yeah just braiding P's hair then we're going to sleep..alright..okay..love you too,bye."
I tossed my phone beside me.
"Pretty good liar.." Harry laughed. 
"Loads of practice..and Paige taught me well.." I winked.

We talked some more before I spoke,"It's getting late, probably better get back to school." 
It was a really nice night, so we decided to walk to the school.
When we got to the side of the school, Harry grabbed my wrist and pulled them up around his neck.

"I like you." He smiled and my throat suddenly felt dry. 
I leaned up close to his ear.
"I'm sure you do, sugar.." 
"What's that supposed to mean?" He squeezed my sides.

"Don't worry about it." I smirked. 
Before I knew it he was kissing me. His hands slid down my sides and rested on my lower back. My hands were placed on the sides of his cheeks as I stood up on my tiptoes.
He was an amazing kisser; I should know since I'd kissed more guys these past three months then in... Well I don't know, a lot of guys okay. 
He tasted like cinnamon gum and a tad like cigarettes but mostly cinnamon gum.. So yeah it was good.

"How long will you be here?" He said, bringing me back to reality. 
"Three months." 
"What are you doing tomorrow?" 
"I'm not sure.."
"Can I see you?"
"I don't know.. I have class and stuff.." I said while walking backwards.
He grinned and I copied him before climbing up to my window and opening it.
"Then when can I see you again?" 
I turned to face him,"I'm sure you'll find a way." I winked and shut the window.
