Twist (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 5.

Harry's POV:

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I patted my hand over my bedside table, trying to find my alarm clock, the culprit of this god-awful noise.

Once I finally found it, I slammed my hand on it a few times to make sure it was turned off. And with my luck, it wasn't.

"Piece of junk." I groggily mumbled as I rolled over onto my side to try and turn my alarm off. I looked at the time as I was turning off the alarm.

8:46.

"Holy shit!" I said as I rushed to get out of bed.

I didn't even bother to shower before putting on a pair of old sweatpants and a black t-shirt. I grabbed my backpack and stumbled down the stairs. I was still partially awake, so I struggled finding my car keys.

"Gem!" I called to my sister. "Gemma! Where are my keys?"

"Calm down, idiot." I heard my sister mumble as she walked down the stairs in her pajamas. "What are you doing up so early?" She asked.

"It's almost 9! School started at 8!" I frantically searched for my keys under every envelope and surface.

"Harry, it's Saturday." My sister erupted into laughter.

I stopped my desperate search as I watched my sister laugh. I rolled my eyes, huffing as I took my backpack and hauled myself up the stairs.

"Might as well stay up." I mumbled to myself sarcastically as I changed into my running clothes. That's usually what I did on Saturday mornings.

Once me shoes were tied, I grabbed my cell phone and jogged out of the house.

I had been running for about twenty minutes before I saw Charlotte in front of me. She was in running gear, just jogging away.

I picked up my pace and attempted to catch up to her. Once near enough, I tapped her shoulder.

I must have caught her off guard, because she stopped running completely and turned to me, putting her hand on her chest.

"It's fine. It's just me." I informed and she laughed, not out loud of course.

"What are you doing today?" I asked her as we walked along the sidewalk.

She shrugged, smiling.

"Hmm." I pondered. "Have you been to the beach yet?" I asked and she shook her head no.

"You want to?" I asked and she smiled.

Charlotte's POV:

I could feel Harry's eyes watching me as I turned the doorknob. We walked inside and I breathed a sigh of relief as I set my dry erase board on my newly acquired sofa.

Before I could even get my shoes off, I noticed Harry had left the room, exploring most likely. A few seconds later, I heard his voice.

"Charlotte?" I heard. I grabbed my dry erase board and marker off the couch and made my way to him.

"Who's Roman?" He asked, gesturing to the plastic letter magnets on the refrigerator that spelled out 'Roman.'

I pulled the marker cap off with my teeth, writing on my board.

"My dog, wanna meet him?"

He shrugged and smiled. I smiled back and put two fingers in my mouth, creating a loud whistle. Harry covered his ears, making me laugh. We heard the loud clatter of paws across the hard wood floors and seconds later, my large Rottweiler emerged from the hallway.

Roman soon made his way over to me, throwing his large paws onto my shoulders, licking my face.

"Woah. That's a big dog." Harry spoke, almost terrified.

As soon as he heard Harry's voice, Roman removed his hands from my shoulders and his ears flew back. He began lowly growling.

"Um, Charlotte.." Harry nervously pleaded. I quickly picked up my board and wrote.

"You have to let him smell you, he isn't used to you." It said.

I knelt down to Roman's level, pulling Harry down with me. I took his hand and slowly raised it up to Roman's nose. He soon began to sniff Harry's hand, licking it seconds later.

"Nice." He laughed. I turned to look at him, only to find that he'd already been staring at me. His eyes flickered between my eyes and my lips. My eyes stayed glued to his.

I realized I was still holding Harry's hand out, and Roman was no longer in the room. I quickly stood up, brushing off my t-shirt.

"Um, so you're ready then?" He asked awkwardly and I nodded as I grabbed my swimsuit from the nearby box that read 'Summer Clothing.' Turning to walk out the front door, I closed my eyes and sighed.

What just happened?
