[ON HOLD] Defensive 'Till The End (Harry Styles, One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 24 - Mandy

His lips are soft and his chest is warm as it presses against me. He's so perfect.

I suddenly snap back into reality and remember he is a lying cheating player. Well he wasn't really cheating because we weren't dating but still.

I push Harry away slightly but just enough for our lips to split. I still wanted to feel his warmth.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it. I-"

"No its fine. I kissed you. But Harry..." I trace the heart right below his shoulder, too shy to look him in the eyes. "I don't think I can do this."

I decide to refrase my words when Harry took in a deep breath, closing his eyes.

"Or at least let me think about it. Just give me some space ok." I just need time alone. Shopping always heels the heart.

"Ok. Ok, I can handle that. I can wait but you only have three days. " I give him a confused look and a smirk grows on his face.

"The tryouts are in three days and I'm taking you with me. I don't care if I have to kidnap you you're coming with me." I smule and push him away.

"Leave. Go let me think and i'll talk to you later do to decide your fate, now go." I shoo Harry away and follow him downstairs. When we reach the front door he turns around and leans in. Deciding that's not smart, he blows me a kiss instead.

"Bye, Rach." He walks out the door to his house and I turn around to see my mom smiling at me.

"What?" I ask confused. She just smiles bigger shaking her head.

"Nothing. Just Happy." I roll my eyes and walk into thw kitchen my mom following.

"Why do you appeove of Harry so much?"I question pulling a bag of chips out of the pantry.

"What makes you think I do?" She asks innocently.  I give her a look and she laughs. "He just reminds me of someone that's all." Her smile is small, eyes distant and I wonder who she's talking about but she doesn't give me time to ask.

"I'm guessing you want to go shopping to get your mind off of Him."  She knows me so well. I nod and  she walks over to her purse. "Here take some money. I've made a bit extra and you need some new winter clothes anyway." My mom hands over four fiftys and my mouth drops wide open. I try to speak but she cuts me off.

"Don't ask just do. Trust me hun. You deserve it. Now go. But make sure you don't go buying skimpy little things to impress Harry." I give her a horrified look and she just laughs. I join and hug and kiss her goodbye reminding her she Is the best mom in the world.

Its been about three hours and I've used only half of the money my mom gave me. I bought a few cheap but cute oversized sweaters, some new leather knee high boots, a new pair of jean leggings and a light brown leather jacket.

Luckly I am just barely considered in the junior zone.

Right now I'm in this store that I found along a small alleyway.  Its called Femme and everythong is so cheap here I have a feeling its black market,  but I don't care. They have really cute clothes for a really cheap price.

I found a pair of black high waisted pants and I drapped it on my arm adding a light brown cardigan and a forest green chiffon shirt. I match them with a pair of black combat boots and make my way to the dressing room.

I try on everything at once and walk out to the  mirror outside of my stall. It was all the way around. I stepped in front and smiled. I love my style of fashion. I did a little twirl and noticed how great my butt looks in these pants. High waisted pants do me great justice. I can just imagine now Harry's face when he sees me in this and I quietly giggle.
