The Boy In The Beanie (Fetus Harry Styles)

A Day At The Lake

The next day I do my chores, get dressed and ready, and prepare snacks for the park. When I'm done I don't do anything but sit and watch 6:00 slowly inch closer.

When I get to the park I spread the picnic blanket across the grass right beside the lake. Once again I realize that I'm the only one here I'm just hoping that Aria will show up first but I know it's not going to happen when I get a text from Aria that reads,
"Hey running a bit late, sorry. I'll be there as soon as possible."

Now I know for sure that Harry will get here before she does. I stare at the lake planning how I'll drown myself when I hear the sound of a car door shutting, I turn around with hope that it'll be Aria, but instead I see Harry talking to some girl in a car. I'm guessing that's his older sister who dropped him off, she's beautiful.

She looks up at me then smiles back down at Harry from the car window and says something while giggling then Harry turns around and looks back at me then back at his sister and shakes his head. She gives him a kiss on his head and waves goodbye but when Harry turns away from the vehicle and is walking towards me I see his sister look right at me. She makes eye contact with me, gives me a big smile, and winks. Finally I she pulls out and drives away.

Harry walks up, sits next to me and asks the same question he always asks me,"Where's Aria?"

"Running late."
"Oh..."
"Yah."

I'm so frustrated, is this how all of our "conversations" will go? Surprisingly he looks up at me and says,
"I have a question."

I'm so mad right now that I blurt out,
"Yes, Aria is single!"

He blushes and tries to hide his smile but I can see his dimples he says,
"No I was going to ask about you."

"Me? Well umm yah I'm single..."

He starts laughing. Why is he laughing?!

"No not that! I was wondering why you're so quiet."

"Oh I don't know why."

"Why are you so British?" I ask.

"Good point."

"So you draw, huh?" he asks scooting himself closer to me.

"Yah, and you sing?"

"Uh huh. Care to hear?" he asks.

"Sure."

Harry pulls out a small drum from his backpack and starts to sing a familiar tune.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything.
I just want to lay in my bed, don't feel like picking up my phone so leave a message after the tone. 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything. Nothing at all."

In that moment I realize that Harry has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I've never really payed much attention to his eyes but now that he's sitting right in front of me i can clearly see that he has the most gorgeous, green eyes that I could just lose myself in. His dimples are simply irresistible, and lets not even discuss his curls.

Harry continues singing,

"Tomorrow I'll wake up and do some P90X. Meet a really nice girl-"

Then I hear a voice come from behind us and scream, "EAT SOME REALLY GOOD CHEX!"

Oh great, Aria's here...

"Oh hi!", says Harry.
"Hi!" says Aria.
"Hey." I say as Aria squeezes herself right between us.
Does she know that I like Harry? Does she like Harry? Is she trying to keep me away from him?
The rest of the evening we eat, talk, and I guess just get to know each other better, after it gets dark, Aria has to use the restroom so she jogs up the hill and makes a turn then disappears out of sight.

So until she jogs up a mile, uses the restroom and comes back, it's just Harry and I laying on the picnic blanket looking up at the stars. It's dark out because its about 8:30.

I don't mind though, because everything about this moment right here, right now, is absolutely perfect not talking, just listening to each others steady breathes, the only movement is our chests rising and falling and the occasional movements in the water when the fish come up and barely touch the surface of the water and the soft wind, blowing his curls to the side, softly kissing my cheek with the ends of his hair.
Breaking the silence, Harry turns on his side to look at me. He's just looking at me not saying a word, I don't know what he could possibly be thinking about.

"What?", I ask.
"I know you." he says still looking at me with the same wondering expression.
"Yes, and I know you're Harry I thought we already went over this in English."
"No, I know that deep down you're something special. I know that deep down you have character, passion, and something crazy burning inside of you."

"I don't know what you mean." I say.
"Yes you do. For example if I asked you to jump in that lake with me you wouldn't do it, but if I asked Aria, she'd race me to it."

"That's called not being stupid.", I say.
"That's called living in the moment. You should try it sometime" he says.
"I live in the moment all the time." I say.
"I don't believe you."
"Oh well there's no way to prove it."
"Maybe there is." he says taking of his white tee-shirt.
"What are you doing?!"
"Going for a dip. Aren't you going to join me since living in the moment is your thing?"
I'm not stupid enough to do this. I usually wouldn't but maybe he's right maybe now is my chance to let loose and do something crazy and the worst that can happen is me getting wet and swimming with Harry, the boy with the voice of an angel and a developing six pack which I've just noticed it's more like a four pack but I'm tired of being quiet and scared of what people think I now realize that I don't have to feel like that. At least, not around Harry.
"Hold on, I'm coming."
