I opened my eyes to the sun blasting through my window. Immediately I sat up wondering what the time was and so then I looked down at my phone and saw that it read 1:30pm. Shit, I was definitely late for school. School finished at 2:30pm today so I decided to stay at home.
Since I was staying at home today I rolled back under my covers and started to scroll through Facebook on my phone only to notice that I had a friend request from someone. As I opened up the notification I could see that the name read 'Harry Styles'. My smile grew and I got this weird feeling in my stomach that some people would call butterflies. I quickly accepted and then clicked on his profile. His profile picture was of him and a girl I assumed to be his mother. I started to scroll and after about 30 minutes I ended up at the bottom of his page. After I realized I had stalked him for to long I decided to drop my phone and go down stairs into the kitchen.
After making myself a cup of two-minute noodles and watching some long awaited Dr. Phil I made my way back up the stairs and into my bed. I grabbed out my laptop and decided to do some study since I missed out on school today but in reality it really meant that I was catching up on the recent episodes of Teen Wolf. An hour had past and I decided that it was time to have a shower. Once I put away my laptop I grabbed my towel and headed down the hall.
While I was in the shower I decided to shave my legs and wash my hair with my new coconut shampoo and conditioner set from the Body Shop. While I was in the last parts of my shower I couldn't stop thinking that after yesterday I had so much to tell the girls and I just couldn't wait because well.. For me it was exciting and as much as the girls think he's bad for me I like that someone and well a 'guy' took the time out of their day to give me a ride and talk to me and well even just seemed interested in me because normally its always Ruby and Eva that get the attention from guys and I'm usually just the third wheel to them.
It was good for a change to have the attention on me and it excited me to think of telling them about how kind and friendly Harry was, how he taps the beat of the music on his steering wheel, how he hums ever so lightly in the silence between conversations. I wanted to tell them about everything, all the smallest details.
It feels like I've liked him forever but really in reality I haven't even known him for a full 24 hours. The feeling this boy made me feel was strange and I hated it. I hated feeling different inside because it made me vulnerable and scared of getting hurt just like the girls warned me that it could happen. He could break my heart.
Once I finished thinking and thinking and thinking about yesterday and my feelings towards Harry I finally decided to get out of the shower because now the scolding water was freezing water covering my skin in goose bumps. I wrapped my body in a towel and then brushed out my hair. From then I started to brush my teeth and while I was brushing them I heard a knock at the door. Who was knocking? It must be my brother Dylan forgetting his keys again. Great, perfect timing. I finished brushing my teeth then raced to my bedroom throwing on my big t-shirt and some undies out of my draw not worrying about a bra.
I hurried down the stairs when I heard more knocking at the door. "I'm coming Dylan, God just have some patience." But as I opened the door I was shocked to not see my brother Dylan but to see Harry outside my house. He smiled at me and went to say something but I didn't know what to do so I just slammed the door on him. Resting my back against it my brain was being swarmed with thoughts on how? What? Why? And when?
I was brought back into reality when I heard one more set of knocking and Harry's voice "Meredith?" he said it in the softest tone that I've never heard before. I wanted to open the door but look at me... Wet hair, no bra only undies and a t-shirt covering my body. I shook all the negative thoughts away and gained some confidence to open the door. As the door opened there he was in the same fucking outfit he seems to wear all the time just staring at me with this weird looking smirk on his face. I wanted him to stop. Why was he doing this to me?
"Um hi harry.. I'm sorry for you know... slamming the door it was just that I thought it was going to be my brother and then you know BAM there you were just chilling in that outfit and with this smile on your face and I didn't know what to do, I was embarrassed because like ya know.. I'm not really dressed well and then I got nervous and was questioning why you where here and now look at me embarrassing myself by rambling on." OH MY GOD! What did I just do? I'm so stupid, why did I just say all that I should have just said hi. No oh my god I just want to crawl into a ball and scream.
Harry started to laugh. "I make you nervous now do I." he said giving me a wink. "Oh and to answer your series of questions I am here to drop of some stuff from our classes today and also I got your address from Ruby who was confused but every helpful." He bent down and picked up the file and stuck it out to me. I looked at it then back at him then at my outfit. Shit.
"so you going to come and get it or what Meredith." He said with a small laugh. His laugh was deep but full of happiness and joy and it made me smile at just the sound of it. I stepped out from behind the dark oak door with my arms over my chest trying to cover myself and went to grab the books. His eyes widened a little and his lips parted taking in a sharp breath. "Here you go." He said as he eyed my body up and down. Oh no. What was he thinking?.
I quickly grabbed the books our hands brushing against each other's and I looked into his eyes. They were a dark green and it sent me chills throughout my body. I had to get out of there. So I broke the silence. "Anyway thanks for the books harry, I better head inside because right now I'm standing at my door for the whole world to see hardly dressed and ya know.. Some people would like to not lay there eyes upon this body right now and I would totally have to agree with them and plus if I don't go I will be rambling like I am right now and well I don't want to embarrass myself even more so I think I'm going to have to leave. But thank you, I'm pretty sure I said that but once again I'm rambling so anyway catch you later Harry! See ya tomorrow." I said while I started to close the door. My face was red from embarrassment and I could tell that he had noticed how nervous he made me.
"Goodnight Meredith, oh and by the way its cute when you ramble so keep it up love." He said while waving me goodbye and turning around to walk over to his car. Cute? My rambling was cute? "Oh and Harry... just call me Mere." I said as he was walking away. "Okay, goodnight Meredith." He replied while not even turning around to look at me waving behind his head.
Damn why so cheeky?, I could just picture the smirk on his face while he said that knowing it would drive me crazy. As I watched him hop into his car and leave I turned around and closed my front door. I placed my back against it, closed my eyes and smiled. My heart was pounding and I swear you that would be able to hear it from the other side of the world it was that loud.
I don't even know this boy yet he is driving me insane.
