The Other Half of Me

Cafè Surprise

---- Melony's POV ----

Same old thing every morning. I wake up, take a shower, brush my teeth, brush my hair, get dressed and sometimes I would get some coffee at a café nearby. I go to the same one every time because I'm new here. I moved here to London from Tennessee just a few months a go for university to become a doctor. So, I don't really have any friends. It's just me, myself and I.

After I took my shower, I put on black leggings, a white knit sweater with a pair of Uggs and put my brown hair into a messy bun with a cloth headband. And I also put a bit of make up on. I was about to head out to the café, until I remembered my long white coat with a furry hood. There was a blizzard out there!

I walked out of my apartment and locked the door behind me. Until I forgot to bring my books for an exam coming up. So, I had to go back in and grab them. And then, I walked out of my apartment and locked the door behind me to walk down the streets of London.

When I stepped into the café, I could feel the heaters beaming down, and it felt so good because I thought I was going to freeze out there!

"Hello, can I have a coffee with two sugars and one milk please?!" I ordered politely to the lady at the counter "Sure love, that will be two eighty-five please" the lady says without making any eye contact. I handed her the money and went over to get my coffee.

After almost forty-five minutes of studying, I decided to go back home and watch a movie or something. Then I realized I didn't drink any of my coffee! Maybe a couple sips, but that was it! On the way out, an elderly old man held the door open for me. Putting his arm out to guide me through, I walked out with a smile and a "thank you so much" But while I was walking back, the wind pushed my hood over my face, so I couldn't see! And neither did the person that I bumped into, making my coffee and books spill/drop!

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I said bending down and picking up the books "No no, it's my fault! Let me help you!" The person said. And I recognized that deep Cheshire voice from anywhere.

After he helped me pick the books up, we both stood up and looked at each other. He had beautiful green eyes, a dimply smile and brown curls. I was right. It was Harry Styles! From One Direction!

"Hey, you're Harry Styles, from One Direction aren't you?!" I asked him with a big smile "Well, I'm not any Cheetah Girl!" He jokes "Yes, I'm Harry Styles" he says and puts his hand put to shake "Melony" I reply, shaking HIS hand. "I made you spill your coffee" "Oh don't worry about it, I'm more of a tea girl anyway" "Well, the least I could do is buy you another one" "No, it's fine. You don't have to do that-" "Please. It was my mistake" he says and puts his hand on my lower back as we walk back to the café.

"Two coffees please. Two sugars in each" he says to the lady I just saw at the counter "Coming right up!" She replies "Please, sit" he says, and leads me to a small table with two chairs "Thank you" I say because he tucked me in like a gentleman. I took off my coat and rested it on the chair while Harry went to get our coffees. I noticed when he came back to sit with me that there were a few girls staring me down or drooling over Harry and his gorgeousness. But I didn't care, they were only like, thirteen years old. I thanked him for the coffee, and we started talking about each other. Even though I already know a lot about him because I'm a huge fan!

"You're not from here, are you?!" He says later on in the conversation "How'd you know?" I ask "You don't have an accent, so where are you from?" "I'm from Tennessee. I moved here on my own for university just a few months ago, but I'm gonna live here for a while" "Really?! What do you want to become?" "A doctor at a hospital" "Which position?" "Um, I was thinking of being one of those people who deliver babies and take care of them" "That sounds amazing! You're boyfriend must be happy!" He says, and I look down and blush "I don't...have...a...boyfriend" he then looks up and has a huge smile on his face, but he makes it go away "Oh...how could a beautiful girl like you not have one?!" He asks, with his famous Harry Styles dimply smile "Umm, I don't know. I had a boyfriend a couple years ago, his name was Keith, but he cheated on me," I don't make eye contact, I just looked at my hands that are holding my cup "and ever since then, I never found a guy that understands me. I tried meeting some guys, but, I didn't feel any connections" I look up at him, and he's looking right into my eyes with a sympathetic look "I'm sorry Melony. No woman should ever be treated like that" he states "Yeah, I agree...it sucks" I was quiet for a bit, but then I spoke up "I should get going. I have to study...big exam coming up!" "Oh! I understand. Maybe we can talk another time?!" He asks as we get up and put on our coats. I look up from zipping my coat, and kind of freeze for one second. "Um, yeah! I'd like that!" I say "Cool. Here's my number. I'll text you later and you can save it into your contacts if you'd like" "Yeah, definitely!" I say.

He walks me out and notices that there's still a terrible blizzard! "Maybe I could drive you?!" He says. I look at him and he looks into my eyes. I look away, "j-just because it's s-s-so cold out, and I don't want you to catch a cold" he says, flexing his arm behind, onto his neck "Oh yeah! That'd be great!" I say "Okay, my car is just down here" We continue to walk, with his right hand around my lower back. I'm a bit shorter than him, so it seems right. It felt right. Hey! You know in those magazines, where they have a picture of a couple together, and the guys hand is on the girls lower back and they're walking together and the girls hair is blowing back and they're both smiling?! Yeah, It felt JUST like that! And it felt good. I call it a magazine moment.

When we get to his car, he opens the passenger door for me and I hop in. He then closes the door and jogs around the front of his sports car and jumps in. He starts up the car and backs out the car from the parking spot. As he's backing out, he turns his head to look behind the car and flex's his arm and rests his hand on the head rest of my seat. I know what he's doing. Trying to show off his muscles (he took his coat off), but I didn't mind, it was pretty cute of him to do that.

During the ride to my apartment, we talked a lot. He made me laugh a lot too. He's got a great personality.

"So, do you have any siblings?" He asks "Yeah, I do. I have an older brother named Drew, he's twenty seven" I tell him "Maybe I could meet him someday" he says, a little quieter, but I couldn't quite hear him "What?!?" "Oh, nothing. I just said...nothing" "Okay" I whisper. It was pretty quiet until I said "It's this one here" pointing to the apartment building. As he pulled up in front of the building, I unbuckled my seat belt and looked at him. Again, he was staring at me. Not in a creepy way. But in a...loving, way, I guess?! And then, we were staring into each other's eyes, and we were both leaning in! *Am I about to kiss Harry Styles?!* I thought. *Oh my gosh! I can't! I just met him!* I thought again. We were about to kiss! I can't do this! So, I backed away and looked in a different direction.

When I looked back, his head was dropped down.

"Harry, I-"

"It's fine" he says, still not making eye contact

"I didn't mean it like-"

"I know, Melony. We just met. And you weren't ready...I don't blame you" he says sympathetically

"I'm sorry Harry. You're an amazing guy but, I just need to get to know the real you. Not the you in the magazines I always read" I tell him, and again, we're looking in each other's eyes.

He nods his head and smiles. He kisses my cheek softly, and says

"I hope that was okay"

I look at him and smile with a nod. I then kiss him softly on the cheek. Which made him and myself blush and put on a smile that stretched ear to ear.

I open the passenger door, and walk out. I wave goodbye to Harry and he waves back. Closing the door, I felt happy. Just a kiss on the cheek from him made butterflies appear in my stomach. And I liked it. No, I didn't like it.

I loved it.
