Not So Typical

Chapter 8

A/N: I had originally posted an entirely different chapter here and if you read that, lucky you! But I decided I wanted to change things up so this is me changing things up. As always thanks to Mya for the critiques and kind words, you are my queen.

........

It was 2am on Tuesday, I had to be an actual functioning human in about four hours, but here I was chatting on the phone with Harry like a teenage girl.

I was holding the phone to my ear with my shoulder scrounging the cupboards looking for the snack when suddenly I heard a crash on the other end of the line. "Harry, you still alive?"

"I think so, I just took a tumble over my laptop cord. Probably going to have a lovely bruise on my kneecap" he winced through the phone.

I was having to try really hard to not picture him tripping and falling over in his underwear, it had to be equally hilarious and sexy or at least it was in my head.

"How have you even made it to 20, you are so clumsy! It's like you are destined to be one of those people you read about in the paper every now and then that trips and falls into a train platform and dies" I laughed even though it wasn't exactly a joking matter when you thought about it.

"Hey! I would die a much cooler death, like a skydiving accident or something, not a lousy train accident. Come on Mel, do you even know me?"

I knew the exact face he was making right now, was that bad? I had known him for a mere five days and his face was already engrained into my head. What a lovely face it was.

"You make a good point, but Harry it's really late and some of us have to wake up and sit in a boring office in a few hours" I whined as I made my way back to my room with no snack in hand, I really needed to go to the shop and buy food.

"Yeah and some of us have to go to work and stare at that boring office while making boring coffee to keep those boring people awake, did you ever think of that?"

"You do make quite the point Mr. Styles. So I do think we shall both get some sleep so that I can enjoy my boring office and then come visit you at the boring coffee shop and you can make me some boring coffee to get me through a boring day" I laughed as I climbed into bed.

"We should get some sleep, so sorry to keep you up so late. Forgive me, yeah? Pretty please forgive me Mellllll." The later it got the more he turned into a child, it was quite adorable and there was no way I couldn't think so.

"Why of course but don't let it happen again" I said sternly into the phone.

"Sweet dreams Melody, I look forward to messing up your coffee order tomorrow" he said as his voice turned kind and quiet.

"Night Harry, I look forward to laughing at you while you waste my lunch break."

After his little laugh echoed through the phone the line went dead. I switched off the lamp and pulled the covers up to my chin. I felt like an actual twenty year old for the first time in ages, what was he doing to me?
