I couldn't tell where I've seen him before, or when. But I just knew him from somewhere. He stared at me, with such intensity. Like anticipating something, almost. But I didn't mind. The green orbs were absolutely gorgeous, no doubt.
" Well? " The beautiful boy asked. Are you kidding me?
" Oh so what, you bump into a girl on the street and you expect her to apologize first? Very chivalrous of you," I snapped. His eyes spoke amusement, while his parted lips spoke shock. What the hell was his deal?
" No, no it's just...I expected you to know who I am, sweetheart. Never mind. " He finally spoke.
" You do look familiar...it's at the tip of my tongue. Oh! Oh you're-you-y- " I struggled to get the words out of my mouth. He did the ' flow ' gesture, rolling his hands forward, his body slanting towards me slightly.
" Harry Styles? " He questioned me.
" Oh yes! You're in that boy band One Destination." He threw his head back and laughed heartily, looking absolutely adorable.
" Sure. Well it was nice meeting you..."
" Della."
" Della. I would exchange numbers but clearly I can't just give my phone number to anyone. You could post it in your Facebook group chats or something. Have a great night, sweetheart. " He flashed me a dazzling smile before disappearing into the night.
The next morning, I sat up in my bed and stretched my arms. Last night, after spending half of it thinking about Harry, I spent the rest sleeping soundly, building up energy and also courage to face Jack. And now, I was ready.
I swung my legs over the side of my bed, feet slipping into my fuzzy slippers. I trekked over to my en suite, and started up the shower. I stepped in, washing my body and hair until I was satisfied. Even after I was done, I stood there for a little while, just thinking about life. I got out, brushed my teeth and went downstairs. Grabbing a bowl out of the cupboards, I added spoons of yogurt into it, then adding my cereal. After my simple breakfast, I grabbed my phone.
To: Jack
Hey, last night was an absolute mess, and I think this is where we should stop at. It's over.
Satisfied with my text, I pressed 'send' and put it down. I went back to my bedroom and into my closet, picking out a floral cropped tee and a navy blue circle skirt. I put on my usual jewelry, put my hair in its usual waves, and put a maroon bow in. I started my internship at a law firm today, and I wanted to look cute. Maybe I'll save the professional for another day.
I slipped on some nude kitten heels and was out the door. The plan was originally to drive, but the weather made it such a great idea to walk. I started my route, heels clacking with every step on the concrete. Halfway to the building, my phone buzzed.
From: Jack
Yeah, sure. I don't really mind. Karista was great last night.
I huffed, knowing all along that he wasn't for a long term, committed relationship. I clacked on, until I heard faint screaming. After rounding a corner, it got much more clearer. Right in front of me was a mob of girls, and their purpose wasn't really important to me right now, because I had ten more minutes to get to the firm. I tried to squeeze through, being cursed at constantly. It wasn't until I got to the center of the circle did I realize who they were surrounding.
It was Harry, the guy from last night. He recognized me too and pulled me to him immediately.
" What are you doing? These girls could easily murder you. In heels, too." He hissed
" Well I was trying to get to work, Mr.Popstar. Now if you'll excuse me." I tried to push past all the other girls, and succeeded after some work. Straightening out my outfit, I continued on to the building looming ahead of me.
' Here goes nothing. '
Here's chappy 2! Expect the chapters to get a bit longer each time :)
