Harry was standing there dressed in jeans and a nice blue button up shirt. 

I was getting a bit self conscious because he started staring at me from head to toe, so I decided to speak up.

"Um, hey."

He finally looked up, saying, "Hi."

I don't know what all the staring was about, I mean I'm dressed in jeans and a sweater.

"We should get going." He decided.

"Yeah, let's go." I said back closing the door after stepping out.

The wind hit me like a bus. Okay, no, that was a little dramatic, but it was way too windy in Bradford today. I mentally face palmed myself. I knew I should have brought a jacket. Well, it's too late now.

I really hated Harry right now. He looked all cozy in his coat while I was here shivering my butt off.

I guess he noticed because he immediately took his jacket off and put it over my shoulders.

"You don't have to." I objected taking the jacket off and giving it back to him.

"It's okay. It's not as cold as I thought it would be. I'll be fine." He reasoned and put the jacket right back on.

"Thanks." I mumbled a little embarrassed that he had to do that.

"It's no problem."

I really hate my long driveway. I mean it took almost 5 minutes to get to the car. Car? Since when did Harry drive, like for real. 

"You drive?" I asked, stopping.

"Sorta." He replied, copying my moves.

"Does that mean I should be scared to get in the car with you?"

"Maybe. Just a little." He showed me his fingers which were parted about an inch apart.

"Oh joy." I said with no enthusiasm at all.

"Where are we going?" I asked looking at him after I got bored of staring out the window.

Yeah, I got in the car. If I didn't, this date would be going nowhere.

"It's a surprise."

"Are you trying to torture me?" I rhetorically asked.

He chuckled, "Maybe, but you might wanna know it's gonna be a long ride."

"How long?"

"Um..maybe about I don't know..."

"Harrrrry."

"3 hours." He muttered so softly and low that I almost didn't hear him.

"3 hours?!" I yelled.

"I swear if we weren't in a moving car I would strangle you."

He nervously chuckled.

"That's right. You should be nervous."

An hour and a half of awkward silences and me asking 'Are we there yet?' passed and I was getting sleepy.

Harry said it was okay if I wanted to take a nap a bunch of times, so I got as comfortable as possible and my eyes fluttered shut.

"Ari, wake up." I heard while being shaken.

"Hmm." I mumbled.
