An Ordinary, Extraordinary Love

Spain..

“W-what.” I say as my voice cracks.

“You heard me love. You chose dare and I dare you to kiss Styles flat on the lips”

I look over to see Harry paralyzed. He doesn’t have any emotion to his face, he’s just frozen still.

“I-I”

Louis smacks my back lightly “Harry is a good guy! He won’t bite”

My heart begins to race a million beats a seconds. Oh, I can’t do this. I don’t even know Harry. And who’s to even say how many times he has locked lips with another girl. From the comments made my Louis during Biology I can’t even imagine..

I don’t want to imagine..

“Louis, stop” Harry says.

I look back up at Harry. He almost seems mad.

“No.. it’s okay.” I say, catching my breath.

The room silences and all I can hear are the sounds of violence occurring between the transformers on TV.

My breathing becomes heavy as I get on my knees and crawl towards Harry.

“Look at this dare devil!” Louis shouts.

Harry moves his eye contact from his palms to my eyes. He really has gorgeous eyes..

I’m nearly a foot away from Harry’s face when he lifts his arm up and tucks a stand of loose hair behind my ear as her cups my jaw.

He smiles showing his teeth.

I lean in towards him, inching my way up to a boys lips that I met just earlier this morning.

I become so close that I can breathe in his scent. He smells of Burberry men’s cologne and peppermint. It’s intoxicating.

Our lips become a centimeter apart.

That’s when I hear the key lock turning to the front door.

“Mom!” I say, almost in a whisper shout.

I pull away from Harry’s grip as fast as I could. But struggle at first because he reached to hold on to my waist. Why would he do that? My heart is racing even more.

My heart can’t take all this excitement and nervousness. Holy shit.

I jump onto the couch and motion the boys to sit on the loveseat just as my mom opens the front door.

“Ana? What are you doing here? Why are you not at-“.. “Well, hello”

Louis and Harry both wave at her. “Hello, I’m Harry”

“And I’m Louis”

“Welcome! I didn’t realize I would have any guests over. I didn’t even realize Ana would be here but welcome to our home.”

She smiles sweetly and looks over at me. I know she is going to rip me a new one later.

“Ana, sweetie. I had to come home early because I received some exciting news.” I could feel the excitement radiating off of my mom.

“What is it?” I question.

“Valley Corp offered me a position as an executive assistant for a month in Spain!!”

My face falls.

“What?”

“Yes! I leave tomorrow afternoon. I know school just started, which is why I couldn’t ask you to come with. Besides it’s a business trip. Grandma will be coming by every so often to check up on you to see how you’re doing.”

“Wait.. what?”

“Sweetheart..” She comes over to the couch and motions me into the kitchen.

“…You’re 17 years old. You don’t party, you don’t drink and you don’t do drugs. You make good decisions, which is why I trust you to stay here by yourself.”

“Mom, but I don’t know if I am comfortable just doing that.” My eyes start to water with tears.

“Well, honey when does Beth get back?”

A single tear trickles down my cheek. “She won’t be back for a week or so.”

“Oh. Do you have any friends that you would like to stay with you?”

I almost get mad.  “Mom, Beth is the only friend I have”

She clears her throat. “Now, I may or may not be blind but I do believe I saw two boys just watching movies with you in the living room.”

“You’re going to let them stay over here?”

“Well, since they’re gay.. I don’t see the point as to why not? It doesn’t harm anyone”

“MOM!!”

Is she completely oblivious? Do they appear to me attracted to each other?

“What?”

I guess I could invite Louis to stay here while she is gone. I do like him a lot and he makes me feel happy. If I play along, it could work out and not be as dreadful as I thought. But there is absolutely no way that I am letting Harry stay here. Not after the forced ‘almost kiss’.

I scoff.

“What, Ana?”

“Nothing” I sigh.

“Well, could Louis or Harry stay here with you some nights while I am away? The house will be less scary at night”

I sigh again, more heavily.

“Yeah, that works.”

She gives me a huge hug and kissing me on the cheek.

“Sweetheart, you don’t understand how many opportunities this job will give me for the future. It means so much to me.”

I fought back tears once again.

“Okay, dear”

We walked back into the living room where the boys were. Harry and Louis both turned around to see me and my mother.

“Sooooo… how’d it go?” Louis joked.

“Well, sweetie. I was curious, well, hoping that either you or Harry could potentially stay here in our guest room for some nights while I am away on my trip.?”

Louis frowned.

“Oh, loves. I wish I could, but there is no way my mum would let me stay he-“

Harry interrupted.

“I will”.

Oh, NO.
