I closed the door of my new apartment and locked it. I gripped my dogs leash in one hand and shoved my keys in my pocket with the other, I zipped up my jacket, put on my Frankenweenie hat,and pulled on my Hogwarts gloves.

I've been living in the little town of Fort mill SC for about a week now. It's late December and...I'll just say I'm not used to the cold weather. it was drizzling, which made it more cold! I started to walk my dog, Stella she obviously loved it! I felt the cold rain sting my face, I hadn't walked Stella all day. So, unless I walk her now she'll piss or shit all over my carpet, and I can't have that happen.

I've been walking her all over my apartment complex, it was pretty big!

I felt the rain stop, and someone was next to me. "Excuse me, may I help you?" I politely asked, as I looked up I could see a mop of messy brown curls and beautiful green eyes "No, not really, I just felt cold for you out here in the rain." He smirked. I smiled, "Oh...thanks but, I'm fine really." I started walking again, he soundlessly walked next to me with his blue umbrella.

I looked at him, he had a pair of jeans on, with a pair of dress shoes and a black peacoat on. "I'm not sure what you want but, you're....kind of fr-freaking me out." I said "Oh god, I just realized how creepy this is ummmm...here... I'm Harry Styles, I'm not a creeper, I swear! I only came here because you looked like you were freezing!" he laughed, I laughed as well "I also like your hat!" he added "That surprisingly makes me feel a lot better...Harry!" I smiled "I'm sorry love but...I never got your name?" he bit his lip.

How could I be talking to a total stranger like this! "ummm... it's Jennifer, but you can call me Jen." I smiled. At least I'm talking to a stranger who is incredibly handsome! "You have really pretty eyes." I blurted, I clasped my hand to my mouth. He chuckled "Thanks, don't be embarrassed I've heard worst things!" he smirked. GOD! His smirk, that smirk could kill me!

"I'm trying to think of a question that doesn't sound creepy." He chuckled, his eyebrows furrowed. " Would it sound creepy if I asked how old you were?!" he questioned biting his lip. "no not at all...I'm 18," I said "what about you?" I asked "Oh, uh 19 yep...19 I'm not ready to be 20!" he chuckled. "ummmm...lets see what else?" he said looking up. "what made you move to Fort mill, and where are you usually from?" he asked. his eyes moved all around my face, the side of his mouth would occasionally curl up.

"well, I'm originally from New York, New York... I moved here because...i liked the idea if living somewhere small, somewhere where I'm not being huddled into big crowds, and also my mom's boyfriend was an... arse... also relationship trouble, I don't like the controlling, breathing down my neck, always wanting to know what I'm doing Boyfriend thing!" I said staring at his brown curls "Arse? Have you ever been to the UK?" he asked smirking "no... I want to though, I got arse from a tv show I used to watch... I don't remember the name of it though."

"Where are you from?" I asked staring at his emerald green eyes. " Cheshire, UK I moved here because... I don't know, I just liked it here...different people, different accents, and different things and places!" he smiled, his dimples flashing. "do you live with anyone?" I asked "no... I don't, do you?" "nope." I said, almost slipping on ice, but Harry grabbed my waist steadying me "woah, steady there!" he smirked. "oh sorry, I'm such a cluts!" I laughed " its fine!" He said looking down at me.

His eyes moved all over my face, he bit his lip "uh....um, so....what are you doing for Christmas." he asked, still holding my waist. I looked down at my feet, "nothing, I'm staying here," I said looking up at him "what about you?" his eyebrows furrowed "I'm spending it here, but my buddies and I are all staying at my place on Christmas Eve, we're buying each other presents....your okay with being all alone on Christmas?" he said his face worried "...yeah, I mean I'm not ok with it...I'm not going to my mom's my dad doesn't even know I exist...I...I just...don't have anybody, everybody just always leaves and forgets me..." I say, not even noticing the tear that escaped my eye. Harry wiped it away with his thumb, his hands were holding my face "umm..Jen would..would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?" he asked smirking "Yes I'd love too! Uh, when, cause I need to get ready put some make-up on, bring Stella inside an-" Harry cut me off laughing "calm down I'll pick you up around 9-ish, and don't where make-up you look beautiful without it, I'll walk you home." He said, putting his arm around my shoulders "do I need to wear anything comfortable or nice?" I said, surprised about how quickly all this escalated "Comfortable, we might be going bowling!" he smirked "might?" I asked. "Yep!" he chuckled.
