Chapter 2

I step off the plane into the crowded airport. There are people everywhere rushing around, talking on cell phones, and I have never seen such a long Starbucks line. Well there goes my coffee I was going to buy.

"Would you wanna walk to baggage claim with me?" Harry asks. He gives me the cutest half smile I have ever seen. Then he bites down on his bottom lip, revealing his soft, yet masculine pink lips. "I was just about to ask you the same thing." I say blushing. Harry smiles and we walk to baggage claim.

I watch the electronic baggage track go round and round for what feels like hours. Finally I spot my plain, large black suitcase with a yellow name tag clearly stating "Kristen Jensen" on it.

Harry spots my name on it and says "I got it Kris. About time yours showed up!" He says and winks at me. "Thank you." I say and give him what I try to make look like a sexy smile but comes out as some sort of weird lip twist. He gives a light giggle trying to save me from embarrassment, it doesnt work.

"What exit are you supposed to go to?" He asks me. "Umm I dont know i was just planning on calling a cab once I landed. I should probably do that now." I immediately put down my luggage and take out my cell phone. "You do not want to go in a cab alone in the city, especially looking as good as you do. I mean umm umm just that umm you should umm I mean my sister is driving me soo umm well she can drive you to your hotel." Harry says blushing so much it looked like his face was splattered with red paint. "Thank you so much, that would be perfect." I tell him smiling from ear to ear.

Harry and I both walked to the exit gate smiling. He really is so incredibly hot and sweet and really great company. "Gemma!" Harry says full of excitement. A beautiful girl who slightly resembles Harry comes running up to us and throws her arms around him. "Harry! You look great little brother!" She says smiling at him.

"Gemma this is my new friend I met on the plane, Kris, is it alright if we drop her off at her hotel? Even if you say no we are going to anyway so just introduce yourself." Harry says to Gemma winking and laughing. Gemma playfully punches Harry's arm and he pretends to be injured.

"Hi Kris! I'm Gemma! So nice to meet you! I hope my brother wasn't an ass to you like he is to me!" She says winking and laughing at Harry. I smile and laugh with them. I wish I had a sibling to love and joke with. "Its so nice to meet you. Thank you so much for driving me I really appreciate it!"

"No problem! Give me the directions in the car." Gemma walks to the car and starts it. I pick my luggage off the concrete floor and I look up to find Harry staring at me. I blush and pull my hair behind my ear, again.

Harry takes my luggage and neatly puts it in the trunk of Gemma's jeep. Harry and I both sit in the second row of her car. "So how long are you planning on staying in the hotel?" Gemma asks me during the car ride.

"Hopefully not too long. I am going to start apartment searching right away!"

"If you ever need a tour guide or anything be sure to call Harry, we can all get together for lunch sometime or something." Gemma tells me. She is such a sweet girl. "Thanks Gemma! I definitely will!"

I look over at Harry who looks incredible slouched over with his jeans clinging to his long lengthy body. He peers his head up from the window and smiles his half smile at me. I smile back not being able to hold back the giddiness. I have never in my life let any boy make me feel giddy. Especially a boy who I only met a few hours ago.

"Okay here we are. The Plaza Hotel. I have heard good things about this hotel, my friend Lexi stayed here once." Gemma tells me and once again I am taken out of my Harry trans. "Thank you again so much!" I tell her. I really do appreciate her driving me. She saved me lots of cab money.

"I'll help you with your bags." Harry tells me. Before I even get a chance to respond he is out of the car and on my side holding open the door, smiling with my bags in his long hands. "Thank you Harry." I say. He blushes. I can't help but think maybe its because I said his name.

Harry walks me to the door. "Can I have a hug goodbye?" He asks holding out his arms. Without thought I bury myself in his arms and I am given the warmest hug that brings a smile to my face. Harry makes me happy. I can't even believe I'm saying that. But then again I haven't been thinking rationally since Harry sat in my seat. "Please call me." He says. "I promise." I tell him and he walks back to the car and I walk into the hotel.

I am surrounded by more people rushing around. Actually, I didnt even notice before because I was lost in Harry world, but this whole city consists of people rushing around. I guess I better get used to it.

This is actually happening. I am in New York. I have to stop constantly thinking about Harry, I just met him. I need focus on building my life, and not being found by.. Him. I look down on my ring and I am given strength. I go to the large desk and check in my room.
