The pair travelled at a sprinting speed for a distance, Blair was seemingly unaware of where they were going but much too distracted to ask. The man kept a secure hold on her legs and her arms wrapped around his neck for support as he moved. His steps were smooth and fluid, causing her tense shoulders to relax the further they travelled.

The girl knew this was not the direction to her apartment, but she was too wound up to say anything. The feeling of his back pressed to her front, sending her stomach into a frenzy, and she wondered why she felt this way.

The man had run into the dense trees when he first collected her, and it appeared, they were in the middle of nowhere as he slowed his pace to a stop and let her down. Blair took a step back to gain some breathing room as she looked up and saw the man facing her for the first time since he saved her. He was a handsome man, and that statement didn't even cover it.

He had chocolate brown hair that shone under the light of the sun, the front part of it pushed up into a lazy quiff with the sides seeming to have a mind of their own although still looking styled. His facial structure was impeccable and almost perfectly symmetrical, while his skin was milky, and his dark eyebrows stood out, drawing attention to his eyes. Emerald pools sparkled, framed by the longest, thickest eyelashes a man has ever had. His nose seemed to fit perfectly onto his face right above his soft, full, pink lips.

He was tall, well over six feet and well built. Blair noticed a few tattoos splayed around his arms and some peeking out from the collar of his shirt. She had never been much of a tattoo person, but she could honestly say she had never found another man as attractive as him.

The pair stood in silence as they examined each other. Blair was wonderstruck, she had never seen such beauty before, and she wondered if she deserved to be in his presence at all. The man, on the other hand, had seen her before, but viewing her up close was something spectacular.

Her brown hair fell in soft waves down her back, and her blue eyes shone like the ocean on a summer's day. Her cheeks were rosy as the cold nipped at her skin, and her little nose was turning pink on the tip. Her perfectly shaped eyebrows were pulled up with curiosity as she stared back at him.

The man quickly gained composure, letting a smile grace his features as he extended his hand to her before speaking, "Harry, nice to meet you".

Blair stared at him like a fish out of water when he opened his mouth, his teeth were perfectly aligned, and when he smiled, a dimple appeared in his cheeks. She could feel her heart rate increase as he began talking, his accent smooth and deep, and his tongue seemed to caress every word that came out of his mouth, making it sound even better.

"Blair, and likewise" she finally managed to spit out, her cheeks getting warmer with embarrassment, knowing that there was no way she hadn't been caught staring.

Suddenly four other boys were standing around them. Harry looked around nodding at the boys in appreciation for their help earlier. He stepped forward and placed his hand on the girl's lower back, feeling a warmth spread through him upon contact. He ignored the feeling though and used his hand to guide Blair's focus.

"So, Blair, these are my friends; you've got Louis over there" he divulged, pointing at a man, taller than her but shorter than Harry. He had light brown hair that was tousled and blue eyes that seemed lit with joy. Many tattoos were littering his arms, his skin was somewhat tanner than Harry's, and his teeth sparkled as he smiled at her. She returned a smile before allowing Harry to push her to face another male.

"This one here is Niall" he continued gesturing to a paler male. His hair was blonde with brown roots trickling out, and his eyes were a glowing blue shade that she couldn't describe. He smiled at her briefly before her attention was moved elsewhere.

"Zayn," Harry said nodding at a dark-haired boy. He seemed like the quiet, brooding type, but she was not one to judge. His eyes were a dark brown, and his skin was darkly tanned. His arms were completely covered in tattoos making him appear more mysterious than he already was. His jaw was sharp and tight as he sent her a friendly nod before the last man was introduced.

"And this is Liam" Harry finished.

Liam had a caring face and short brown hair and brown eyes. He seemed gentle but also stern, his face seemed to carry wisdom beyond his years and a kindness that is hard to find in people these days. His arms had tattoos down them just like the other boys, and his skin was pale underneath. Nevertheless, Liam also sent her a friendly smile accompanied by a small wave as Harry captured her attention once again.

The pair looked at each other with small smiled drifting onto their faces.

"Sorry, can I just ask, where are we?" Blair questioned. The boys all shared a look before nodding at each other before Liam answered her "Just near our house".

She looked around confused, surely there was nothing around here for miles, "I am so confused" she mumbled, causing Harry to chuckle and smile down at her. She found herself caught in his glance just as he was caught in hers. She felt like she was back in school again, and Harry was the attractive exchange student that every girl wants to get attention from.

Harry thought she was beautiful, and he wished that his life didn't have to be so complicated. But then again, if it wasn't; he wouldn't have her.
