Chapter 3 - It's A Little Bit Muddy

Chapter 3 –It's A Little Bit Muddy

When I was in bed that night my mind couldn’t help wondering off thinking about Harry. He was just there. His eyes, his dimples, his smile, his voice…                                                                                                             I felt like one of the millions of girls that loved Harry, I just hoped he didn’t see me as one of those girls, I wanted him to like me, to be that one girl he thinks about before he closes his eyes at night, and the first person he thinks about when he opens them. I closed my eyes and the last picture in my mind was Harry hovering over me as he tickled me, a huge grin on my face.

You can probably guess who entered my mind when I woke up the next morning – Harry Styles. As much as I liked having him in my mind I’d only just met him. I sighed and rolled out of my bed shoving on my dressing gown - I loved not having to get up early in the holidays. I walked down the stairs smelling the best thing in the world; bacon. The scent could make anyone be drawn into it. My mum was sat at the kitchen table eating her bacon sandwich, when she saw me walk in she got up to make me one before setting it down at the table.

“Thanks” I said delving in to the little piece of heaven.

“Now Daisy, we need to have a little chat” this was never good, I guessed it was about when she walked in on Harry and I.

“I know you and Harry from that boy band you like- One Direction- have been getting to know each other, but-“ I cut her off.

“Mum, I’ve known him for a day” I said starting to get a little bit annoyed.

“I know honey, but boys like him- popstars- are resound for breaking hearts, I don’t want that girl to be you” she said taking my hand.

“I know mum, but Harrys really nice when you get to know him, he’s not like anyone ive ever met before, he’s..” I trailed off trying to find the right word to describe him.

“A flirt” my mum said finishing the sentence.

“No, he’s a gentleman. He’s kind, he’s funny, he’s sweet…”I trailed off picturing his dimples.

“It’s probably just an act Daisy” I didn’t know why she thought he was so bad. Yes, he’d had a lot of media attention being the flirt, the heartbreaker, especially when he went out with Caroline Flack, but they didn’t get to know him like I have got to know him.

“No mum, you only know him as the media does, you don’t know him like I do so you can’t judge him. Why didn’t you even tell me One Direction lived in the complex you own it for goodness sake?” I stood up dropping my plate in the sink as I turned to look at her.

“I was trying to protect you, I didn’t – I don’t – want to see you get hurt” she stood up walking over to me.

“I get that mum, just please don’t judge people when you don’t know the real them” I said walking out the kitchen and up to my room. I know she loved me and she was just looking out for my best interest, but she sure knew how to annoy me.

I showered and changed before deciding to take Toby for a walk round the grounds, I knew it would be quite because it was private property. I threw on a jacket and black converse, before putting my phone in my pocket and calling to Toby. He came bounding towards me, tail wagging, I clicked on his lead and shouted to my mum that I was walking him, before walking out the door.

We walked around the grounds Toby sniffing everything he could, while I tried to clear my thoughts. As much as I thought about my mums warnings about Harry being a heart breaker, my thoughts couldn’t help but always linger back to him. I sighed, I may have only known him just over a day, but he was really getting to me. I sat down on my favourite bench- it was in front of a large pond with trees surrounding it. I’ve been coming here since my dad died- I always felt it was the place I could go and forget everything.

I sat there for ten minutes, just thinking to myself. I’d let Toby off the lead as he liked to wonder off. My hair blew slightly in the breeze as the cold air whipped around me. I pulled my jacket further round me and stood up as it was getting a bit cold. I called out to Toby, hoping he would come running back to me straight away, but being the stubborn dog he was he was nowhere in sight. I sighed walking over to the forest where I normally ended up finding him digging a hole.

I walked through the forest calling out his name, I was too busy calling out to Toby that I didn’t see the tree trunk sticking out in front of me, and before I knew it I was face first in a pile of mud – typical that it had rained overnight. I lay there for a minute annoyed at myself for falling over in the first place. As I was about to get up I felt something lick my ear, I glanced up seeing Toby happily licking me and a familiar laugh echoing around me and I glanced up seeing Harry laughing holding his stomach. I groaned.

“How much did you see?” I asked as he walked over and gave me a hand.

“Enough to see you diving head first into the mud, I must say it was pretty funny!” he smirked dimples showing.

“Ha ha” I said glancing down looking at all the mud covering me. An idea popped into my mind.

“Harry, I forgot to give you something yesterday” I said smugly- I started to walk towards him- he looked slightly worried as I edged towards him.

“And what was that?” he asked. I leaped towards him trying to give him a hug, but he somehow managed to jump out the way and I ended up tripping over my own feet, I felt myself falling again. This time instead straight into the mud something hard was under me. I opened my eyes which had closed waiting for the impact and saw Harry covered in mud under me. His white shirt wasn’t so white anymore and his famous curls were now coated in mud. I laughed at the sight of him.

“You think this funny huh?” he said from underneath me. Before I knew it he had rolled over so I was now lying in the mud and Harry with a smug face was straddling me. As much as I liked the position we were in, I didn’t like being one with nature. I got a pile of mud in my hand and before Harry realized I wiped it on his face, leading to an unhappy popstar. I laughed at his reaction when he realized what I had done, his face was priceless. He grabbed a pile of mud and I squirmed under his body trying to get away. He teased me before wiping it on my face. He got off me and ran out of the forest, me and Toby on tow. I saw he had stopped, so I ran in to him and jumped on his back as he stumbled forward. I laughed and gripped my legs around his waist. I thought I had won our little war until I saw four boys watching us.

I knew who they were immediately and I silently cursed under my breathe. Harry heard me and laughed as we walked towards them.

“Daisy this is Louis, Liam, Niall and Zayn” he said introducing me to them. I looked at their expressions; Niall looked surprized, Liam and Zayn had small grins tugging at their lips and Louis looked a mixture of hurt and surprized – I made a mental note to ask Harry about that later.

“Well… uh .. nice to meet you guys” I said still on Harrys back.

“Nice to meet you too Daisy” Liam said

“Yeah, it’s great to finally meet the girl Harry wouldn’t stop talking about last night” Zayn said smugly as Harry blushed slightly. I think I may have blushed too as Niall laughed at my reaction.

“Uh, Harry we were just coming to find you and tell you we have to go for a photo shoot” Louis said now smiling.

“Right” Harry said lowering me back down

“I should probably go and shower. See you guys later. Bye Harry” I said smiling as Harry replied

“Yeah, me too, oh and by the way Daisy, this means war” he said as his dimples made another appearance. He walked towards the complex, Zayn next to him nudging him in the shoulder and Niall following suit next to Zayn.

I grabbed Toby’s lead and walked backwards my house. They all seemed really nice, although I wish I’d met them when I was covered in mud or in mid piggy-back on Harry.  I walked in closing the front door behind me and kicking my shoes off grinning in the memory of Harry commencing war.

On the way to my room I saw my mum who just said "I don’t want to know"- she knows me too well. I carried on walking to my room and into my shower. I let the hot water run over my body. I began to think of a prank I could pull on him, I giggled, he didn’t know how much of a klutz I was, and it was going to be so much fun.

Deciding to go and get some shopping from Tesco really was the best decision I had ever made!
