You're My Destiny - discontinued

Chapter 5

‘’What’s wrong?’’ Harry asking with worried eyes.

‘’I just missed the 12:32 train. It was the last one out!’’ This day is already starting out like complete shit.

I quickly go over my options. No train. No bus.

‘’I’m sorry,’’ he says sincerely.

‘’Don’t apologise, it wasn’t your fault.’’

He steps close to me and stares at me with those beautiful emerald eyes.

‘’I could call a cab if you want,’’ he says while taking out his phone and bringing it to his ear.

‘’NO!!’’ I grab his phone and quickly hang up.

I sure as hell wasn’t stepping into the death trap they call ‘cars.’

‘’Hey! What was that about?’’

‘’I-I’m sorry. I j-just um.. um.. I don’t trust a stranger to take me home?’’ It came out more like a question since I was lying.

‘’Oh so I guess you wouldn’t want me driving you home?’’ I shake my head frantically.

He raises his eyebrow. ‘’Okay then? Um.. You could stay here for tonight, if you want…’’

I thought about it for a while. I had no other choice really. But I don’t know if I can handle staying another second at this place. It’s either stay at Crown or step in a car when it’s dark out. I was being ganged up by my two biggest enemies. But the thought of being in a car makes my stomach churn.

‘’If that’s okay?''

''Of course, I'd feel much more at ease if you stayed here anyways. It's way too late to be walking around the streets.''

'''Thank you, I can take the couch.’’

‘’No, no. I’ll take the couch. You can sleep on the bed.’’ Wow, he would do that for me? He’s much nicer than I expected.

‘’Are you sure?’’ I mean the offer sounds appealing, but I didn’t want to be selfish.

‘’Yes, what kind of man would I be if I made a girl sleep on the couch? My mummy raised me to be a gentleman,’’ he said proudly. I couldn’t help but giggle.

‘’You have an adorable giggle,’’ he says as he steps closer to me. I feel my cheeks heat at his corny compliment. We only have 1 foot between us and I step back. This guy is totally fit but he’s Harry Styles. I know about his reputation with girls and I can’t let myself get too close to him.

‘’Um.. thanks?’’ I smile awkwardly while increasing the distance between us.

‘’You're welcome. Come this way.’’ He grabs my wrist and drags me out of the lounge room and into the bedroom. The skin underneath his grasp is now covered in goosebumps even though his hand is really warm. Is this normal?

‘’Did you need anything? Something to sleep in? Those jeans don’t look very comfortable to sleep in.’’

Truer words have never been spoken. These jeans are chafing. He’s already been so generous and he doesn’t even know me. He definitely isn’t what I pictured him to be. Would it be selfish to ask for more?

‘’Haha. Yeah they’re not. That would be great. Thanks.’’

He nods and walks over to the wardrobe. He comes back with a shirt and trackies and hands them to me.

‘’I’m changing in the wardrobe and you can change right there. I won’t come out till you finish,’’ I nod and he walks out.

I quickly take off my flannel and shirt and quickly replace it with Harry’s shirt. The hem of his shirt reaches around mid-thigh considering I’m 5’2’’ and he’s a giant. I take my shoes and jeans off and slip on Harry’s trackies. I neatly fold up my clothes and put it on the bedside table. I take the hairtie out of my hair and let my long hair fall down.

‘’Okay I’m done!’’ I scream loud enough for him to hear.

Harry walks back into the bedroom as I jump into the bed and hide under the covers so we won’t have to have any more awkward moments. He walks closer to my side of the bed. He reaches to turn off the light coming from the bedside lamp.

‘’No!!’’ I shout anxiously. Harry jumps at my sudden outburst, ‘’can you leave it on please?’’ I smile weakly.

‘’Why? Are you afraid of the dark or something?’’ He questions as he raises an eyebrow.

‘’Maybe..’’ I pout.

‘’Aww, you’re cute,’’ my cheeks heat up and he chuckles at my panic. ‘’Do you need to call someone? You should call you parents that you’re staying here. They’re probably worried about you.’’

 I can feel the tears threatening to come out and I stare at him, shaking my head. I can see his features soft as if he realised that was a touchy subject.

‘’Goodnight Beth,’’ he whispers while leaning down and kisses me on the forehead. I usually don’t like when people get too close to me but the feeling of his lips sending tingles throughout my body. I look up at him and smile.

‘’Goodnight Harry.’’

He walks out the room and I attempt to sleep without any music.
