Chapter 7 - Fun Stuff

Oh would you look at that I decided to start naming my chapters, how nice. Anyway enjoy this chapter because it's personally my favorite so far. And we need a ship name for these two love birds, don't we? I'll work on it...

________________________________________________________________________________

 "What kind of stuff?"

"Fun stuff."

He got up, walked around the table and took my arm, pulling it along with him toward the door.

"Come on then!" He said happily.

He picked up his jacket that was on a rack on the way out and then we continued walking. 

"Where are we going?" I asked, trying and failing to keep up with his quick pace. Someone was excited...

"On an adventure." 

He seemed so sure of himself. Nothing how I'd imagined him. I mean I didn't think he wasn't confident or anything, for christ's sake he's in a singing group and about to go into live shows in a few weeks. 

A few weeks. That's all I've got. 

I looked over at Harry who was still looking forward smiling and walking. 

We didn't say much as we walked, but it wasn't bad, we just walked. I was really cold and kind of embarrassingly tired after what seemed like maybe 10, maybe 15 minutes. 

"Do you even know where we're going?" I asked laughing. 

"Don't underestimate the bakery boy" He said smirking. This boy..

We got to a park, but not one of those parks with a swing set where the ice cream truck drives by. And not one of those parks that's just nature or animals. It was just like a bunch of benches and sitting areas, and there was woods, and a little bathroom and food building. It was like a rest stop, but not. 

He stopped walking and turned to me. 

"What?" I asked confused. 

"Well!.." He said opening his arms, gesturing torward the woods and benches. 

"um.. yay?" I said. 

"We can have a good time! Come on! My dad used to take me fishing here!" 

He started walking toward the food. He bought some little fruit snacks and drinks and we sat down at a bench. 

Now, you see, I am a very open person. I like food. And I will eat my food how I want to whether or not there is a Harry Styles with me. So, being me, I sat on the bench, then turned to my right to face him and put my feet up. I crossed them, like, what do they call it? Indian style? And leaned onto the bench opening some fruit snacks. And popped one into my mouth. 

He just kind of looked at me and laughed. 

"Well don't be shy then!" He said teasingly. I just laughed and kept chewing on my snack. 

"So Harold, tell me about yourself" 

"Well I'm 16 and I work in my dad's friend's bakery, uhh I've got about a week left of school and I don't like sausage." 

"You don't like sausage?"

"It disgusts me." He said it with the most serious, disgusted face I've ever seen and I almost choked when I burst into laughter. 

It disgusts me. 

He started laughing too and before you know it we were out of breath, barely sitting on the bench, surrounded by fallen fruit snacks, and noses red from the cold. 

"Come on, let's get somewhere warm." 

"Please" I said still laughing from his comment on sausage made about 10 minutes ago. 

We decided to walk all the way back to the same coffee shop where we talked the first time.

"So what about you, Syl?" He just called me Syl. I am ok with this. 

It took me a minute but i realized he was asking me about myself and snapped back into reality to answer. 

"Um, I'm Sylvie, but you knew that. I'm clumsy, but you knew that. I-uh- I'm an only child and I'm scared of frogs."

"Interesting" He said looking down at the sidewalk. It was weird, he looked like he was actually thinking about what I'd just said. 

We got there and saw the same person at the counter as last time, ordered the same things, sat at the same table, and this time he payed. 

We sat down at the table in the corner where it was really quiet and continued our conversation. 

"I had a frog once, his name was Ernie." He said sipping his drink. 

"That's gross" I laughed. 

I slowly faded out into silence when I realized he was just staring at me. 

"Harry?" 

"shh, I'm concentrating" 

I decide to stay quiet although those might have just been the most awkward 5 seconds of my life.

"You're pretty cool." He said. 

I opened my mouth to respond but he started talking again. 

"Would you um, I don't know, be interested in doing this again sometime?" He said it kind of quickly but he didn't look away, I don't even think he blinked. 

"Sure" 

"Great!, come on, it's gettin' late." We got up and walked back to my house. 

"Thanks Harry" I said smiling looking up at him. 

"No problem, I'll text you" He said then leaned down to hug me. 

I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands went to my lower back and stayed there. Well, we stayed there. For a weird amount of time actually. Longest hug I think I've ever received but hey, who's complaining..

"He awkwardly pulled away and reach his arm um to scratch behind his head. 

"I'll um see you later, Syl" 

"Bye Harry" I said closing the door. 

You know I think I'm ok with it being 2010 after all.
