An Unexpected Guest

Chapter 2: what did i just ask

Cass POV:

what did i just do? Cass you are coming on too strong. way to strong. they would never say yes. and this is all because of your stupid little crush on the handsome hearthrob Harry Styles. 

my faced blushed with embarrassment of even thinking the question, let alone asking it. quickly i found a cover, " i mean i have three extra rooms. but you guys probably wouldnt want to stay here." 

the boys looked around at each other. " well it is well hidden from the streets," Liam announced. 

" we would love to stay, " Harry said giving me a cheeky smile. Holy crap! wait a motherfathering minute! is he giving me the flirty face?! i stumbled backwards a little and Louis caught me. 

" are you alright?" he asked me. 

"oh yeah im fine. just trying to get used to the idea that One Direction is staying at my house for the next three weeks." 

"dont worry. it will be easier than you think. we will all get along great." Harry said smiling that smile at me again. i blushed, of course. stop it Cass. you look like an idiot.  

my phone went off in my pocket. it was 5:30. time to feed Smokey, my horse. "I'm Cassandra, by the way. you can just call me Cass." 

"Cass, thats a beautiful name," Harry mentioned. 

"Thank you," I said, probably blushing. " hey i have to go take care of something. feel free to follow. i really dont mind. i love the company. "  i walked towards the front door and i heard all five boys follow behind me. "James, if the pizza comes, for god sake, let your men a die and answer the fucking door." i said to my brother over my shoulder.  

Harry's POV: 

this girl is beautiful. her dirty blond hair falls perfectly on her shoulders, her smile is one of the most amazing smiles i have seen in my entire life and her eyes! oh those gorgeous sapphire blue eyes! i could stare into them all day. even her walk was beautiful. they way she bounced evenly on her heels and toes. quickly i got up the courage to ask her "where are we going exactly?" 

"my barn," she replied quickly. " i own a horse. he's beautiful and adorable! you'll love him." 

"not as beautiful as you," 

"what was that." she asked confused. 

Crap! did i just say that out loud? 

i sucked it up and said, "i said not as beautiful as you." 

"oh. thank you," she said tilting her head toward the ground to hide the pink color that soon covered her cheeks. we reached the barn and Cass was right. this horse was beautiful. a bay with golden highlights in his mane and tail. she fed him and he would not eat the food until Cass fluffed it out of the blockes it was originally in. 

"Spoiled little brat," She teased him. " i started fluffing out his alfalfa because everytime i give it to him in flakes he just eats a hole through it. now he expects me to do it everytime i feed him." 

"whats his name?" Liam asked. 

"Smokey. hes a retired racehorse. hes about five years old and he has so much energy bottled up inside him im surprised he hasnt kicked the walls of his stall down yet." she chuckled, then added "knock on wood." 

"hes magnificent." Niall added. 

"thank you. and yes he is. hes smart and sweet and..." her voice trailed off, "my only freind." 

what? this girl cannot be serious. surely someone as beautful as her has plenty of friends. right? 

"what do you mean your 'only friend'?" i asked concerned. 

she just nodded her head, clearly not wanting to talk about the topic. i brushed it away. yet i couldnt stop looking at the sad, longing look she had on her face. she knelt down towards her horse and said "give me a kiss, Pumpkin." Smokey pushed his nose out to touch her cheek. she kissed his nose in return then left him to his dinner. 

wow! she seems to have a way with animals. this girl, shes... shes amazing.
