Isn't She Lovely Book 1

Chapter 19

(Taryn POV) My mom was in her “shopping mood”, so she dragged me to this surf shop. I hated the fact that she did because then we ran into one of my ex best friends and she tried being my best friend again, only because I met Harry Styles… I sighed and walked off to the juniors section. As I was looking at the clothes, I saw him walk into the shop. I gasped and hid behind the clothes rack. Then my sister Noelle came over, “Hey Taryn, why ya hidin’?” I looked over the shirts and then back at Noelle. “No reason…” I replied to her. She made this confused look. I nodded and looked over at him again. He was getting closer, acting like he was looking at the clothes. I turned to Noelle. “Shhh! Stay quiet and follow me!” I whispered to her. Noelle cocked an eyebrow, “Why?” I looked back at him and he was getting closer. “Just come on!” I whispered and wandered off. Noelle sighed and followed me. We wandered over behind the jeans, the souvenirs and then over to the stair case. I peeked between the railings and Noelle caught who I was staring at. “IS THAT HARRY STYLES!” she shouted and pointed. I smacked my hand over her mouth, “SHUSHAHAHAHAA!!” She yanked my hand away, “Why are you running from him?!” I looked over at him and then back at her. “Because I,” I started to explain but, then I did a double take, I figured he heard Noelle because he started wandering over here. “Thanks, Noelle!” I said looking for a place to hide. She giggled, “Your welcome.” Harry stopped and looked at both of us. I knew he was looking for me by the facial expression he got staring at me. I froze and started to panic. I took off running in the other direction. Noelle walked in a circle confused. “What, Taryn wait!” She ran after me and not that far behind her, Harry came running after us. I ran up the stairs and looked around. I noticed the fitting rooms, ran into one, slammed the door shut and locked it. I looked between the crack of the door and the stall wall and watched as Noelle helped him look for me. ‘Damn sister,’ I thought to myself. ‘One does not simply help out a sex god!’ I looked around the fitting room and then back out the crack. No one was there; there was no sound, no nothing. I thought I could get the chance to run. I slowly opened the door, looked around and then quietly walked out. I looked over my shoulder and then bumped into someone in front of me. “Boo!” Noelle screamed at me. I screamed and fell back but, someone caught me. “Let me go!” I said fighting to free myself. They put their hands around my stomach, holding my arms against my stomach as well and did their best to keep me still. “I just wanted to talk to you!” they said impatiently. I stopped fighting once I heard their voice and slightly looked over my shoulder. Noelle started laughing at me, “Wow…” I gave Noelle a sarcastic smile. He let me go, I turned around and he grabbed my arms. I looked up at him. “Why did you run?” he asked. I hesitated to speak and I took a deep breath. We just stared at each other. Noelle started laughing harder, “So awkward, ahahahaha!” He giggled, “Come on; tell me, why did you run?” I gulped, “I uhh, I just umm…” He slowly smiled as I hesitated to speak. “I got nervous…” I replied kind of squeaky. He laughed, “I can tell…” I saw my ribbon tied on his wrist. He continued to look at me. “I wanted to thank you again for last night.” he spoke softly. I looked at Noelle and she gave me two thumbs up. I laughed nervously, “Oh, uh… Don’t worry about it…” He sighed and laughed at me. “Not thanking someone for helping me? Well, that doesn’t sound like Harry Styles to me.” he said softly. I looked up at him. Harry smirked and looked me in the eyes. My sister ran off and as soon as we looked over my mom was standing there with a not so pleased look on her face. I gulped, “This is just not my week…”
