   Remember when I said I always give time to myself to sit on the hood of my car and stare at the stars in the sky? Well, this is the time. But this time, I wasn't alone.

   Customer is sitting in front of me. I had finally used the comfy blanket I always store in my trunk in case of emergencies like this and I mentally thanked God it doesn't smell that bad from how long it had been stored inside the trunk.

   My arms are both wrapped around him. He looks so small and so fragile in my bulky arms. I guess I can say I have biceps since I visit gym thrice a week.

   He's trembling with fear. You could say he's really frightened by the commotion happened earlier. Even I, the honk of the truck was still stuck in my head, alarming me that it's about to hit us and worse, kill us both.

   So I went out of my car and went to open the passenger door to where Customer is sitting. He's trembling and shaking when I guide him outside the car, so I immediately pull him on my chest and just cuddled him until he's a bit okay.

   That's when I thought of inviting him on my little movie in the sky.

   He's no longer shaking now, and had calmed down fully. I feel loads of guilty towards him. He's obviously got traumatized to what happened. Well, if I were on his position, I would probably be traumatized as well. But I needed to comfort Customer. Customers should be my main priority. They should have the best rides of their lives.

   "I'm so sorry about earlier again. I wasn't looking I was just got a bit distracted. I didn't mean to traumatized you I-"

"Jesus, it was fine. I was also just shocked" shocked. Oh how many times have I heard that word since he took a seat on my car.

"Sorry" he giggled, when I apologized. I guess I've been apologizing a lot of times now. His giggle is cute by the way.

He turned to look at me and wow, did the time stopped? His eyes were the most beautiful shade of blue I have ever seen in my life. The sparkle of the stars in the sky reflected on his eyes which made it thrice more beautiful. His smile is so innocent and so pretty, I have never seen someone this beautiful and has caught my eyes.

"I'm Niall" he took his hand out for me to shake.

I looked down on it seeing his nails, obviously bit by him. I guess he's one of the people who tend to bite their nails when they're nervous. Nevertheless, I shook it back.

"I'm Harold Styles, or what I always say to my customers but I guess you can just call me Harry" I smiled back, the smile I have where my dimples poke out.

I saw his cheeks flushed red again. I didn't know why, maybe he's shy and just blushing? Well, who wouldn't blush from our position tho. He's sitting right in front of me, in the middle of my legs and his head tilted to his side to look at me, while my arms are wrapped around him and a blanket draped over us.

If a normal people were to judge us, they would probably say we're dating. But we're not. I don't even like the guy. Plus, we just met. He's a customer for crying out loud.

"So Niall," I started, his head goes back to staring straight ahead on the road, it's already 21:55, about an hour since I last took a look on the time, so the road was not that crowded of cars. Actually, it was only my car who's on the road, parked. There would be some cars passing by but not seconds by seconds. It's pretty late anyway so people are either home from their work or is sleeping. He hums when I called him "care to explain why you're so desperate to drive away?"

He seems to tensed up by the subject I picked. So deciding I don't want my customer to feel uncomfortable (remember: I want all my customers to have the best ride of their lives), I changed the subject.

"I'm sorry, okay let's not talk about it-"

"My boyfriend proposed to me"
