Aching for a Breaking

Chapter 5.

I sat up, my eyelids open slowly. I realize I have the day off and I walk into the living room. I plop down on my couch and Meredith hops up next to me. I pet her gently as she purrs violently. I smile and pick her up, lay down, and place her on my stomach.

Then, my phone rings. I get up and check the caller ID.

It was Harry.

I rolled my eyes and clicked answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Taylor!"

"What is it?"

"Um, well..."

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to go out for breakfast, maybe?"

I don't talk and think for a moment.

"Taylor?" I jumped

"Oh! Yeah, um, sure?"

"Great. I'll come pick you up say around, hm? Nine?"

"Yeah, great,"

"See you then, Taylor!"

"Okay then, ha, bye..."

"Bye."

What did I just do?

No time to wonder, it's 8:20 and I need to get dressed. I looked through many dresses until I pulled out a floral dress that went down to my knee. It was strapless and had a belt. I put it on quickly then went to the bathroom to do my hair. I combed it out and wore it flat down. I played with my bangs a bit until I was satisfied. I brushed my teeth quickly then went to look for shoes.

I picked some white high heels and put them on, and did a test walk for safety. Then I heard a car roll up toward my house.

There was a knock.

I hurried to my door to see Harry with a rose in his hand.

"Oh, thanks Harry." I smiled.

"You're welcome. Let me take you to the car." I grabbed his hand and we walked out to the car. He opened the door for me and then closed it after I got in. I buckled up.

Then realization struck hard, like getting hit in the head with a dodgeball when you weren't paying attention in gym class.

I am going on a date with my ex-boyfriend.

Harry Styles.
