You've Got That One Thing

CHAPTER 1

The wind whipped through my hair as I stepped onto London Highsteet. Immediately I regretted having it down. Yet London looked beautiful, even on the gloomiest days. I pulled my jacket closer around me, shivering lightly, I stepped into Topshop, dusting myself off. I’d recently turned eighteen, and I planned on buying a new dress from Topshop with my money, luckily my friend was working there today, so it meant a discount, which pleased me. Alot. I weaved my way through the shop, squeezing between rows of clothes, heading for the dresses aisle. As I passed the stairs, and boy knocked into me, as he came flying downstairs from Topman.

 'Ouch.’ I reacted, rubbing my arm,

 ‘God I’m so sorry! Are you okay?’ The boy picked my bag up for me, holding it out for me to take, watching me worriedly, awaiting my reaction.

 I glanced at him, taking in his features. He had brilliant green eyes that shone, and a mop of curly brown hair. He was looking at me, he seemed concerned. How sweet. I smiled, taking my bag from his hands, purposely brushing my palm against his warm fingers.

 ‘Its fine. It was just an accident.’ I replied, pushing my side-fringe out of my face to take a better look.

 ‘I feel so bad-’ He began, suddenly another boy came rushing down the stairs,

 ‘Mate you just missed the funniest thing ever. Zayn fell into this massive pile of-’ He had a thick Irish accent, deep blue eyes and messy blonde hair.

 ‘Hello?’ He asked expectantly, slightly abrupt,

 ‘Hello?’ I replied, just as cockily, raising my eyebrows, and started to walk away before it became to awkward.

 I’m pretty sure the curly haired one shouted me back distantly, but I walked into the girls changing rooms, awaiting my new dress set out for me. Katie was sat on the bubble chair, twisting her name tag around her fingers in boredom. She was pretty, infact she was stunning, her light brown hair was piled on her head in a bun, her big blue eyes shone out, glad of my sudden apperance.

 ‘Thank god you’re here. I’m dying of boredom. I picked your dress out. I got a 8?’ She questioned, shoving it under my nose,

 ‘I’m sure an 8 will fit,’ I replied, dropping my bag at her feet,

 ‘Oh I like your bag! River Island?’ She gushed, collecting it from her feet,

 ‘Yep!’ I grinned, she looked it over greedily,

 ‘I picked some nice shoes for you too. Here. Get them on.’ She passed me some black heels,

 I took the stuff, and shut the curtain behind me. I quickly changed from my jeans and knitted jumper. It really complimented my figure, making me look curvy, yet thin. I adored it.

 ‘Eek! Katie its gorgeous!’ I flung back the curtain excitedly,

 To my surprise the curly haired boy was stood there again,

 ‘Hey… erm…’ He looked me up and down in my dress, appreciating the sight. I felt slightly embarrassed. ‘You must have dropped your purse?’ He questioned,

 He held my flowery purse in his hand.

 ‘Oh my god thank you!’ How could I have lost that? He handed it to me.

 ‘Its fine.’ He winked, flirtly,

 I watched Katie behind him, staring at me mouthing, ’Wow!’

 He started to walk away, shoving his hands in his low waisted jeans. A glimpse of boxers peeped over the edge. Then he stopped, brushing his hair back, embarrassed.

 ‘Look… erm, I’m having a house party tonight? If you and your friend are interested in coming? To build the guests up?’ He gestured to Katie.

 ‘S-s-sure!’ Katie nodded her head frantically,

 ‘Yeah. I think I’m free.’ I smiled, he was gorgeous,

 ‘Cool…’ He went quiet. ‘I’ll need your number? I’m Harry by the way.’

 I reached for my blackberry ‘I‘m Lucy.‘, I recited my number to him.

 ‘Thanks.’ He grinned at me, walking away,

 ‘OH MY GOD HE WAS GORGEOUS!’ Katie squealed, excitedly after he'd gone.

 ‘Shh…’ I pushed her playfully, laughing.
