Drink to that (A Dark Harry Styles Fan Fic)

Chapter 4

Elias POV:

The sun casts a soft morning glow over my eyes which causes them to flutter open. My arms stretch out but I lay in bed thinking about everything that had happened last night, and everything that Harry had told me. I'm glad he was willing to open to me and I'm happy I found someone I can actually have fun with here. I grab my phone and check the time but notice I have a text from Harry saying he's on his way. I panicked looking at the time and saw that I had only 10 minutes till Harry was suppose to be here. I jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed, just as I finish putting my shoes on I hear a light tapping on my front door. "Hey, sorry if I look like shit I literally just woke up." I say to Harry as I greet him at the door. "You look great." He says encouragingly. "Did you have something planned or do you mind if I suggest something?" I ask steeping outside and walking to his car. "I'm open to anything if that's what you'd like." "Could we please stop for coffee?" I ask giving a slight begging look. He laughs and nods "Cool, we can just stop at the brew since it's close." I add. " Whatever you'd like babe." He kisses my hand and we start the short drive to the coffee shop. "I can just run in real quick since we don't have to stay long?" I ask more than state. "That's fine, here." He says handing me money. "Harry it's ok I can pay for it, you paid all last night." I say sincerely. "I want to, please let me pay." I roll my eyes and nod "Do you want anything?" "An iced black coffee." "Ok, will do. Thank you." I kiss his cheek before getting out and making my way inside to get our drinks. The line wasn't too long but it was long enough for me to start contemplating if the coffee was worth it. "Elia!" I hear my name being called and look over to see Jayden walking over to me. Fuck! I thought, this dude was irritating and I didn't feel like interacting with him today or any day. "Hey Elia" he says playfully and bumps my hip. "Hi." "Where'd you run off to the other night? I couldn't find you anywhere?" "I left, I wasn't feeling up to it." "That's a shame, we could of had a wonderful sleepover." "Ew." I say loud enough for myself and he to hear yet he didn't catch it. "Well if you're not doing anything we should hang out." He says coming awkwardly close to me. I take a slight step back "Love to Jayden," I say sarcastically "But I can't. I actually have plans." I add giving him a fake sympathetic frown. "With who?" His voice was filled with skepticism. "Uh," I pause not sure if I tell him if it's with Harry. Not that I cared that he knew but I just didn't feel like dealing with the drama from him and everyone finding out. I didn't realize I had glanced over to Harry's car when I was thinking and Jayden started laughing because he looked at what I had glanced at "Styles? You're kidding right? Didn't I tell you to stay away from him. There's nothing good in him Elia." "He's nothing like everyone makes him out to be." I state defending him. Jayden chuckled "Well you must be stupider than he is to actual want to go out with him." He says and starts walking away "Fuck you!" I call out to him in annoyance, I can't believe Jayden actual said that shit to me. I take a deep breath and don't let his ignorance effect me and order the drinks.

I walk back to Harry's car with our coffee in my hands when I feel my phone going off in my pocket. I climb into the car and hand Harry his coffee and set my down in the cup holder so I can pull out my phone and see why my phone was going crazy. "You've got to to be fucking kidding me." I whisper to myself as I see a various array of texts from people I didn't have numbers to saying negative things about Harry and I being together. Looks like Jayden opened his mouth. Harry heard my whisper and raised an eyebrow towards me "What's wrong?" I sigh and hand him my phone so he can just read them all. His eyes grew wide as he scrolled through them "Wow. People really hate me." He said as he gave me my phone back "How does everyone know we're hanging out?" He asks curiously "I ran into Jayden inside and he noticed that I was here with you. He must of told some people." "Does this change anything between us?" He asks trying not to seemed worried. "No. Absolutely not. Harry, i don't care what they have to say. They're not envolved in anyway shape or form in what's going on between us." I say shoving my phone back in my pocket. "So where are we off to?" I ask changing the subject "The beach." "The beach? Isn't it a bit chilly to go for a swim?" my eyebrow raises at him. He lets out a small laugh "Relax we aren't going swimming. The beach front has a lot of things to do and I think you'd like it." "Ok, if you say so." I give him a small smile and he drives off.
