I've been on this train for an hour now. Harry and I haven't talked since he first sat down with me. I've read some in my book and responded to some text messages, which are very annoying.

"Tell me about yourself." Harry says, interrupting me reading some text messages. "What do you want to know?" I ask him, locking my phone. Which I'm happy about. "I know you're name and that you've just left your fiancé at the alter." He says smiling. I roll my eyes at the memories of today and give him a fake smile. "I'm 21, born in New York but moved to London when I was younger." I tell him. "That's it?" He says sitting up straighter in his seat. I shrug my shoulders, not sure what else he wanted me to say. "Job? Pets? I don't know I'm bored. Enlighten me." He says.

"I have a blog." I start to say. "A blog?" He questions me. "Yes? I have around two million followers. It pays the bills." I say defensive. "I didn't know people did that." He says. "Go on." I look at him, contemplating whether or not I'm going to continue talking to him.

"No pets, and there isn't anything interesting about me. Tell me about yourself." I say to him. He laughs and looks at me for a while before saying anything to me. "Well in Harry. As you know. Twenty-two, I work at a gym when I want. Thanks to my parents." He says smirking again. I nod my head at him and turn my attention back to my phone.

"Want to get off at the next stop?" He asks me. "Where is that?" I ask him. "Don't know. We can find out." He tells me. "I don't really know you. So I don't know." I say. I honestly don't know him at all other than a few things. "So what? This is how you get to know people." He says standing up once the train stops. "Ok." I say gathering my things up.

We step off the train and I realize that we are in Brighten. I've never been here before surprisingly but Harry seems to know his way around. "Hungry?" He asks me. I nod my head when he looks at me and we head outside.

"Ever been here before?" He asks me. "No." I say looking around at my surroundings. We quickly enter a restaurant only a few minutes away from the train station. "Two." Harry says walking up to the hostess. She leads us to a table and smiles at Harry once she sits us down. He doesn't notice. "I'll have a bacon cheeseburger and a Coke." He says not even looking at the menu. "I'm not the waitress but she will be here in a moment." She nicely tells Harry. He rolls his eyes and waits. I look at the menu quickly and settle on a BLT wrap. The waitress arrives and Harry and I order our food.

"Been here before?" I ask him. "Obviously." He says looking at his phone. I sigh and realize this was a bad idea because he doesn't seem like the most pleasant person to be around.

Our food arrives after only a few minutes. The waitress makes sure Harry's food is ok and she even tries to flirt with him. Once he notices she is hitting on him he looks up at her and smiles at her and starts to talk to her. It's actually amusing and entertaining at the same time because she doesn't realize how sarcastic and rude he is being.

Once we both finish she brings us the bill and slips Harry her number. He smiles at her and acts like he is putting the paper with her number on it in his jacket pocket. Once she turns around and heads back to the kitchen he throws the paper on the floor and takes the bill to the hostess to pay.

"How much was my meal?" I ask as I follow him. "Why?" He asks me. "So I can pay?" I tell him. "I've got it." He says handing the hostess his credit card. "Thank you." I say not expecting him to do that. He nods his head and taps his foot as he waits for the check.

"It's getting late." He says as we walk along the pier. "Yeah." I say agreeing with him as I drag along my suitcase. "What are your plans for the night?" He asks me. "I haven't planned anything." I say realizing I have no clue where I'll be spending the night. "There's a hotel down here. We can look for some rooms." He says heading towards the hotel. "Ok." I say following him.

I didn't even realize how quickly this day has gone by. It's nearly eight at night, which isn't late but I feel like I've been awake for two days straight.

"How can I help you?" The lady at the front desk in the hotel asks Harry and I. "We need two rooms for the night." Harry speaks for the both of us. "Ok let me see what we have available." She says smiling at the both of us.

"I'm sorry it seems like we only have one room left for the night." She looks up from her computer to tell us. Harry sighs as she looks back down at the list of rooms. "It has two beds if you both don't mind sharing." She says. "That's fine, right?" Harry asks me. "Yeah sure." I say.

The lady gives us the payment and Harry tries to pay for my side of the room but I throw a fit and refuse and end up paying half for the room. Harry rolls his eyes at me and leads us to the elevator once we get the keys to the room.

Once we get to the room I see both beds and I'm very relieved because I need to sleep, I'm exhausted. "Do you care what bed?" I ask Harry. "The one by the door. If that's ok." He says sitting on the bed before I can answer. I nod my head at him and place my things by my bed.

"I'm going to take a shower." I tell him. "Yeah you need one." Harry says laughing. I roll my eyes at him once again today and go through my luggage to find something to sleep in. "I'm kidding. You just have wedding makeup on still." He tells me. "Oh yeah. I forgot." I tell him as I feel my face. I usually don't wear all that much makeup so it does feel a little weird.

I walk into the bathroom and start the shower. I spend a lot of time taking a shower, the warm water feels nice and it feels great to wash the hairspray out of my hair and wipe all the makeup off my face. When I'm finished I change into black sweatpants and a grey t-shirt I've had for years. I brush my teeth and wash my face again after applying lotion on my arms and legs.

I gather my dirty clothes and exit the bathroom, ready to go to sleep. Once I enter back into the bedroom I notice Harry isn't there anymore. His things are still here so I know he didn't leave me. Plus, one of the spare keys are gone so that's good I guess.

I lay down in my bed and pull my book out of my purse. I look at my phone and realize I've forgotten about all of my texts I still have to respond to. I'll hair do it tomorrow. I lock my phone and plug it into the charger and place it on the table next to the bed.

I end up reading for an hour and Harry enters the room once I place my book by my phone. "Where'd you go?" I ask him, not really caring, just curious. "To the bar. I wanted to get a drink." He tells me as he tosses his phone and wallet onto the table next to his bed. He looks at me intently once more before turning away from me. I keep looking at him as he takes his shirt off and tosses it onto his small duffle bag. He then unbuckles his pants and I watch as he slides them down his long legs. I look away and lay my head down on my pillow and face the window.

I don't hear much movement from him so I turn around to look at him once more and see that he changed into sweatpants and is getting in his bed. I reach next to me and turn my lamp off and he notices and does the same to his lamp. "Goodnight Mia." He says yawning. "Goodnight." I say wondering why and how I am sharing a hotel room with a complete stranger right now.
