Isn't She Lovely Book 1

Chapter 18

(Harry POV) So I had borrowed, no not STOLEN but, borrowed the car from Liam. I drove around the beach looking for Taryn but, no sight of her. I even went to the exact spot I met her at and she wasn’t there. My cell phone began to ring, it was Liam. I rejected the call though. As I came to a stop at a traffic light, I looked down at her ribbon, which was tied tightly around my wrist. When the light turned green, I realized how much gas I used up and pulled over at a gas station to refill the car. I was also thirsty… I went in and grabbed what I needed and then went up to the register to pay. These girls came over and stared at me. The blond one smiled big and leaned into my face. I leaned back and smiled awkwardly, “Hello…” She stood on her feet again, “You’re Harry Styles!!!” I nodded, “Yes, I know this…” She started screaming and I placed my hand over her mouth. “No need to scream, love. It echoes.” She started jumping up and down. My eyes and my head followed her as she did. She stopped jumping and hugged me. “So, was that your girlfriend?!” she asked me. I became confused, “What girlfriend?” She pulled away, giggled and slapped my arm. “Don’t act all stupid, the girl you were talking to at the beach last night!” she said to me. I rubbed the spot on my arm where she hit me. “Oww… And no, she’s just a friend… Why, have you seen her?” The girl laughed, “Well, duuuhh! She was at the surf shop down the road, I happen to be her best friend!” She bats her eyes and leaned into me. I took a step back, “Well, how lovely, and it was nice meeting you,” I threw a bunch of cash at the register guy. “But, I got to go, bye!” I grabbed my things and ran out the front door. The girl and her friends ran after me. I hopped into the car, started it and sped off. “Surf shop,” I asked myself. “What surf shop?!” Then I looked out the right window. “Oh… That surf shop…” I pulled into the parking lot, parked the car and got out; hoping Taryn was really in here.
