Relief

chapter two

On the side there should be a picture of Lizzy. Ryann is portayed by christina perri who is on the cover, and Alex is a boy, just in case that was confusing. I tried to make this chapter longer than the last.

We were waiting outside the London airport for the taxi. After he arrives he introduces himself and grabs our bags. We don't have as much luggage as normal people would if they were moving because we didn't need to bring furniture. The man (I think his name was Brian, but I'm not sure) asked if we cared that his son Edward would be in the car with us. Brian was a very kind man; in his forties, not ugly per say but defiantly going bald, the top of his head not even reaching above my 5'9. He was short and stocky with deep brown eyes, and thin pale lips. He was an average man.

Which only made my jaw drop harder when his 'son' stepped out of the cab. The way his cheeks flushed due to the heat, or his perfectly styled hair was enough to leave me breathless. he was not like his father; he was tall and lanky , probably reaching 6'3ish which is hard to find. wait why am I thinking like this, I don't even know him . I haven't even said hi and he already astonished me, this isn't good I don't want a boyfriend or anything close. but the worst part is that out the corner of my eyes I can see Lizzy smirking at me, while Alex has a sort of unamused expression on his face, my guess is he's tried. I'm broken from my thoughts when Edward introduces himself as harry in a gorgeous voice that every word just rolls off his tounge in an enticing melody. If that wasn't enough then his lips surely are, the way his lips sit slightly apart and in between sentences his tounge grazes over his lips just enough to moisten them again before slowly starting to speak again. With every word he says my stare gets more intense.

I finally look up to see him gazing at me with piercing green eyes. At first I thought he was simply looking at me but when I heard someone clear their throat awkwardly I realized he was waiting for me to speak. oh crap! what did he even say, I know their was something about his name being harry , but that's all I can remember, and I've been standing here long enough looking really dumb, so I say the only thing I can think of

"I thought your name was Edward?" he chuckles. As if contemplating my answering, he's quiet for a while. I start to feel my cheeks redden due to the fact that I just asked a stranger a stupid question making myself look really dumb. "Brian likes the name Edward he thinks its more classic, but I find it more uptight." He flashes a cheeky smile showing off some adorable dimples.

Why did he just called his dad by his first name? Do they not get along? Why do I even care, is the better question? I honestly feel really tired and I should want to do nothing more than get to our flat but I have this strange curiosity to know more about the curly haired lad standing before me. " So your name isn't harry?

"Oh no love, it is, my name is Harry 

Harry Edward styles."

with that he walked to the car, with me completely confused with everything about him. My head is reeling I have many questions I want to ask him, the whole time I can't get him out of my head , as ,much as I want to. This is so unlike me, yes I've had boyfriends here and there through high school but nothing ever lasted. I have never been so overly infatuated with someone by just their presence alone. I'm not that type of girl. Normally its the its the other way around and I ignore them. That exactly how it should go, I ignore them! Not pay more attention to them than I do most people!

The car ride went fast, maybe too fast because it defiantly did not feel like a three hour drive; more like five minuets. So before we leave I ask him a question while Lizzy is getting the bags and Alex is paying Brian "Do you go to a university?"

"if your wondering if you'll ever see me again you could just say so" he snidely replied. Although I was thinking that and I tried to find a way to hide it. Which made me nervous because he could read through me so easily, it was weird. So with that I ignored his comment as he did mine and simply said goodbye; Lizzy and Alex were waiting and I'm tired as can be, major jet leg.

When I walked up to the front desk Alex and Lizzy were waiting for me to arrive so we could walk into our flat together. when we got to the 7th floor, it took a while but eventually we found room 784; our home for the next four years. Before I could even sit my bags down Alex took out his headphones; which he always has in, and stares at me. Then out of nowhere him and Lizzy start cracking up. I'm so confused what I am not getting? In between chuckles and breathes Lizzy asks " did you get his number?" I should have seen this coming, its not likely that Alex nor Lizzy would miss the chance to make fun of me. "I didn't even try." she looked astonished but didn't say anything else but that she was going to bed. Alex got up to go to bed but before he did he said "I don't know if I like him, he reminds me of your past boyfriends and I don't want you getting hurt." Before I could even deny that I liked him or that it didn't matter I would never see him again he was gone, just like that. I guess he wanted to leave me with my thoughts. Alex always had a brother figure to me but he never has mention my boyfriends before... which I don't plan on having one for a long time after my last experience. 

That night was filled with dreams of a curious green-eyed boy as well as nightmares from a haunting brown eyed boy.
