Chapter 4 - Le Bouquet

[A/N.]

Hi guys! 

Sorry for the late update, still trying to figure out a way to combine college and writing.

I tried to make this chapter a little longer than the previous ones. I hope you like it!

I was watching Harry as he frowned whilst looking at his phone. “Is there something wrong?” I asked him. He looked up at me and put his phone back into his side pocket. “No, nothing important.” he assured me.

He walked next to me and I was making sure our bodies didn’t touch. It took me some time to get used to people again, which was good because living in this city meant that I was constantly surrounded by other human beings. But being used to them did not mean that I wanted them to come too close. Especially not strangers. Yeah, I knew Harry wasn't really a stranger since I knew who he was and what he did for a living, but I couldn’t really say that I knew him personally. Therefore Harry was still a stranger to me. But I had this slight bit of hope that I would get to know him better. I wanted to know what he was like and to make my own opinion about him, regardless of the media’s superficial conclusions.

The walk was as silent as the noises in the station were loud. I didn’t mind though. It was even better for Harry not to talk before there were less people around. But as we arrived at Starbucks, there were more people than I had hoped there would be. I looked over at Harry, who was frowning, probably thinking the same thing as I was.

“I –“

“Maybe –“

We both started at the same time.

“Ladies first.” he said to me. We were still standing outside Starbucks, kind of hidden in a corner so we weren’t standing in the middle of the station anymore.

“Maybe it’s better if we go some place else?” I asked him. “It looks like this place is really crowded at the moment.”

He smiled that beautiful smile of his. “Thank you.” he said. I returned the smile.

“So, is there any other place to go?” he asked me. “I mean, I don’t really know my way around here so…”

Of course I knew a good place to go. “Oh yes, I have just the perfect place in mind.” I said to him.

“And that may be?” he wondered curiously. Ha, my time not to answer too quickly.

“You’ll see.” I said with a wink. “Follow me.”

I walked out of the station and crossed the street. Luckily the coffee shop I was taking him to was only a few blocks away. That and the fact it was still raining, reduced the risk of Harry being seen on the way there. Then I realized I didn't have my umbrella with me. That was my special talent; forgetting things.

I turned around to see if Mister Popstar was actually following me. He was, his grey beanie covering his brown curls and with a puzzled look on his face. I chuckled at the sight.

“Maybe ehm, we could walk a little faster?” I asked him in a sweet voice. “I forgot my umbrella and I don’t want to be all soaked when we get there.”

“Sure.” he answered and grinned. “You want us to be faster?” his smile grew wider. What was he up to?

“Let’s do a little race.” he said. “Last one to get to the next crossroads has to buy the other one a drink.”
