One Mocha Cappuccino Please

Chapter 7

•Harrys POV•

As I walked out of the coffee shop I notice scribbling on my cup. I look down and to my surprise she had written her number on the side of the cup. I look over and wave goodbye. 'Yes' I think to myself . I always meant to ask for her number I just couldn't find the right time. I was going to tomorrow during her break but I guess no need now. I was smiling the whole way home I just couldn't help it.

When I got home I sat down on the couch and pulled out my phone. Louis and Liam were over and they were just chilling on the couch next to me. I handed them their coffees and we started watching tv. I created a new contact, named it Lauren with a sparkle emoji ✨, and put in her number. Then I texted her. She was most likely still at work because I didn't get a reply until 3 hours later when Louis and Liam left.

Me: Hey, it's Harry.

Lauren: Hi

Me: So whatcha doing?

Lauren: Just left work, what about you?

Me: Just chilling watching a movie.

Lauren: Nice, what movie?

Me: Mama Mia

Lauren: I love that movie!

Me: Wanna come over and watch with me?

That was a big step. Should I not have sent that? Was it too soon? We had to get to know each other somehow. My heart was pounding when she started to type.

Lauren: Sure. I'd like that. Let me just run to my apartment first.

I let out a sigh of relief. But still, what had I done. Would she mind if I had put my arm around her? Would she want to snuggle up together? More importantly, did she already have a boyfriend.

I figured not since she gave he her number but you never know. I told her to drive to the parking garage on Sterling Street and I'd meet her there. When she arrived we met up by this hot pink Ferrari and walked over to my Audi and got in. After we got in I gave her a small tour of the place.

"Theres the downstairs bathroom, next to the kitchen, and heres the tv room and theres the living room." I finished, pointing to the living room.

"Popcorn?"I ask half way to the kitchen.

"Sure," she said looking around. Im guessing shes used to a small apartment. "This is a beautiful place" she said sitting on the couch.

"Thanks." I said putting the popcorn in the microwave and getting a bowl. I open the shutters that are on the bar counter so I can see her. I put my arms down in the counter and stared over in her direction trying not to be creepy. Little too late for that. When the microwave beeps I jump a little then go and put it in a bowl.

"What do you like on top? Butter? Salt?" I say popping up again through the window to the kitchen.

"Butter and salt is fine. Whatever you prefer." she replies looking over to me.

My heart races as I walk out with the popcorn all buttery and salty. I pull up the movie and hit play putting the popcorn in between out legs. We are about half way through and a romantic part starts. Lauren nestles her head up in my neck to make herself comfortable. This startles me at first but I love it. Shes so cute and I wish she knew that. Then things start to get interesting in the movie.

When two characters share a passionate kiss, she grabs my arm which is on the edge of the couch and wraps it around her shoulder. Wow. She was making all the first moves here. I don't know what to do. I just pulled her in a bit closer, relaxed, and enjoyed the rest of the movie with her in my arms.

Longer update, I just figured it fit best in Harrys perspective for all this. :)
