Pretty Boy

four

Once all my classes were over, I headed to the grocery store to do some shopping for food I can save for the next few night's meals, seeing Khira invited me to go out with her because she insists I need to get out of the house.

I don't have shifts on Mondays, so she wanted me out of the house to do something fun rather than work.

I skimmed over the different food on the shelf in the aisle I was in, collecting the things I needed before heading to the cashier with my basket in hand.

"Hey," I smiled politely at the young man at the register. He smiled back at me, until his face suddenly paled. His eyes appeared strained and beads of sweat started to form on his forehead instantly. My eyebrows went down in confusion as he looked under a lot of pressure. He didn't look away from me though, he held his eye contact.

"Are you okay?" I asked in concern. He simply nodded without speaking a word.

I took my hand up to my face, touching my cheek, thinking I had something there. I frowned and placed the basket on the counter, where he looked down and scanned all my items.

He glanced up, and his eyes darted to something behind me, and I swung my head around so fast my neck cracked a little bit.

All I saw was the back of people's heads in the crowd.

Then I saw a brief wisp of chestnut curls before it left my sight into the crowd of people. That was definitely Harry, his appearance was so distinct, plus he was a fair bit taller than the rest of the crowd. I furrowed my eyebrows into a frown and crossed my arms over my chest like a child.

"One minute," I spun around and told the young boy at the register before speed walking through the small crowd of grocery shoppers as sensibly as I could in the direction Harry went in.

I had absolutely no idea what I was tail tagging the pretty boy with the green eyes for, he was probably just shopping like I was, only what was weird was he seemed to seriously intimidate the boy that was swiping my groceries. Sure, his appearance was terribly frightening, he sounded mysterious and gave off a weird vibe, but I didn't think that much to make you sweat and shudder.

My rather quick 'speed walk' caused me to slip a little bit whilst I turned around the corner of the aisle rack, the super market was very large, and I was near the complete end of it. There was no one to be seen, not even Harry. The slip only made me stand up and quickly, and then have my back shoved against the rack with a strong force from the front.

My mouth opened to let out a cry of pain until a large hand was pressed against my mouth in a harsh motion.

I opened my eyes as I cowered even further back into the surprisingly stable wall behind me when I saw who was mere inches away from me.

Harry.

"Shh," he hummed quietly as he removed his hand from my face slowly.

I didn't speak immediately, scared if I did he would cover my mouth again. How no one had stumbled across into this area of the shop got me dumbfounded.

"What're you doing?" I breathed out in a shaky manner under a hushed whisper.

A smirk played at his full pink lips as he slowly inched even closer to me without a word from his mouth. His body was pressed up against mine as our body heat started to slowly work its way up within the zero space between us.
