Chapter 5

My phone pinged, notifying me that I had a text message. My small hand grasped my phone from the table next to my bed and read the message, it was from Harry.

H: "Hey babe, wanna meet up and talk about the project? I can pick you up."

'Babe? Okay, I can deal with that', I subtly thought to myself. I replied with a simple "Yeah sure." as he informed me that he would be at my house in ten minutes, after I had told him my home address.

Ten minutes came by so swiftly, as I heard a loud engine rumble outside the small house I was currently sharing with my mum. I pulled back the white laced curtain and peeked through the window to find a big black Land Rover parked carefully at the edge of the concrete next to my home.

A pair of long legs smothered in tight black jeans stepped out of the Land Rover. Harry was wearing a black button up shirt but the first few buttons were undone, showing off tattoos on either side of his collarbones. I quickly pulled on my black leather Converse just in time before he reached my door and a hard knock was heard.

I opened the door to be greeted with a wide smile, dimples set deep into his cheeks. "Hiii." He voiced cheerfully before he surprisingly pulled me into his warm grasp, wrapping his long arms around my waist. I was wearing a white patterned shirt with some high waisted blue jeans, rips on both the knees. I could smell Harry. His aroma filled the air of my small hallway before we both stepped outside after grabbing my jacket and flinging my back over my shoulder.

Jogging over to my side of the car, Harry opened the door for me as I flopped into the large vehicle, buckling my seatbelt as Harry jumped into the drivers seat and started up the car.

"Where do you wanna go?" Harry wondered. Turning to me and locking his beautiful emerald eyes onto my dark blue ones, giving me a small smile. "Wherever you want, I really don't mind." I giggled as Harry furrowed his eyebrows and nodded, switching his head back to the road as he started to drive.

...

"I see you're not in your geek attire today." I commented, Harry frowned and shrugged. "I'm only like that in school, don't wanna make too much of a scene, you know?" Harry's eyes flickered to mine quickly, back to the road and waited for a reply but I just nodded.

"Harry, where are we going?" I asked curiously. His pink lips formed into a small smirk. "Back to mine." He replied "Where else would we go?" He chuckled as I picked lightly at my nails.

We came to a familiar stop as we reached Harry's big apartment. For a twenty year old, Harry had quite a nice house, seeing as he lived all on his own.

Harry took the key out of the ignition as the engine's noise died down. His eyes widened, cursing at the sight of a wobbly man stood at his doorstep, fingers wrapped tightly around the neck of an almost empty bottle of alcohol.
